I have been twice to check this one out (Muggles were parked at GZ the first time).The cache is gone and it was home made. I am currently trying to recreate the same style and will replace as soon as I'm able.
Good Day,
This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).
I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.
Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.
Looking forward to hearing from you,

We had a good look for this cache but came up empty handed. Maybe the owner needs to check on it. It hasn’t been found for a while.
Couldn't find this one sadly. It seems down branches have been cut. Could the owner confirm if it's still there?
Went for a drive with Thunderbird_1, love this cache. Thanks Jenny I'll send a favourite point your way!
We are nomads. Having left Perth WA in February 2014 we now live in our caravan and go wherever the will or caches take us.
Staying a few days in Maroochydore, the plan was to head out to do a full day caching. Well we got back just after 4.30pm with 30+ and in time for happy hour to catch up with El Peregrinos.
Log was full so we replaced it.

Accompanied Gcoven and woodyrothwell on their sunny coast cache drug run. Have been selective in the caches collected, driving past a number with the aim to collect the drug starting with 'Z'.
Another ablution facility inspection was required and this cache was just a short walk away. Clever camo!! Log was full. Before mum got back, the boys had time to play on the flying fox. Thanks for placing this cache us3scouts.

We made a detour to this cache for a challenge being done by one of the crew and we were rewarded with a fantastic cache and a place for us to stretch out. During the day we had been rating public toilets and there was one here up for review.
After signing the log and visiting the lavatory we all looked at each other and realised we couldn't leave this fantastic park without pretending we were young again. In the back of my mind I could see sore backs, torn muscles, broken ankles but we all survived and loved the fun. It would have been unfortunate if there were any kids here using the playground equipment because we would have kicked them off. tftc

Finally thought I would have my last cache owner letter to complete the ABC challenge but alas was still one short! Thanks to the boys for a fun day!
grrr muggle driver instructor having lunch in the gazebo, went and found another cache only to return to see that they were still there, I had waited 20 minutes before and came back 20 minutes later to see they hadnt moved.
I know roughly where it is from the logs so will need to come back to find this one another day. good reason to come back me thinks.

Found this one with a good friend TBC while he was visiting from WA. Loved this cache and it was a great 1 for his first Qld cache. Thanks for the great find.
I just lowered the ant population colonising the tree within this park... good times
Hi there us3scouts - having arrived at our initial destination (Cashmere) via 'The Longest Shortcut in the World,' our trip has gone into holiday mode. Touring and Geocaching are on the agenda and we have finally started our trip to FNQ though today was just a touristy day through Maleny to Nambour, Yandina and Woombye. This cache was a quick find and sign along the way before continuing on our way. SL. This is our find #4791 - thanks to us3scouts for this cache.
I thought this was a great little hide!! And a lovely walk around the park, and Light Horse momument. TFTC
I arrived at gz straight away due to a nice set of accurate coords. Container was most obvious. I wasn't sure how or why it was rigged up the way is was and just hanging there for everyone to see. After signing the log, I finally made sense of it. Am pretty sure someone did not put it all back the way they found it. Once I replaced it the way I think it should have been, it blended in well and looked like a part of the tree. Thanks for a great hide us3scouts.
This was a clever cache but I must say I am surprised it hasn't been muggled as I thought it would be visible to passers-by. Glad it hasn't been though, so TFTC us3scouts.
Nice camo on this one. I found it a couple of years ago but couldn't write in the log because it were stuck. The CO kindly granted me permission to log a find but I didn't get around to it - and today I was back in the area so now my name is on the sheet. TFTC us3scouts.
TFTC 2231# out and about with miss millie geo dog collecting a few caches did have a terrible day my phone played up to no end so I miss a lot of caches
What a great little park. Havana and I were the only ones wondering around. There was one lone person that was enjoying his lunch and a beer or two. There was something so lonely about him. You often wonder where people are at especially at this time of the year. Back to this great Cache. Thankfully the fellow had his back to us and we were able to do what all dogs love todo. Snoop. It actually didn't take us long at all. I love this creative container and the location. This will get a favourite from us. Thanks for the smile.

After a quick trip to hospital I said to hubby lets get a couple caches we met up with wheelie22 and we were off this was our first. We had geo dogs on board today and while giving them a pit stop (so the muggles nearby wouldnt think we were sus) we found it. This is a great unusual cache container thanks for bringing us here
well after having a great brekky, i set off too the geo truck and i get a texted from rhobocacher, whom was up to do some caching, so i meet up with rick and rho and set off too grab some local caches together and this was the 1st....this was real cool camo bison tube...and most of all brought back memories 4 me of my horse i had when i was living with mum and dad on the farm. he was called storm...why storm...cause he was a nightmare when he was born and was born on a stormy night and was all black....thanks for the cache
Nice day out with my daughter and had to use stealth while finding as there were people in the park what a fantastic hide! But was very hard to open TFTC
Nice sneaky one. We had to go into stealth mode to get this one as lots of muggles. TFTC
Very creative hide . I love introducing new cachers to the game! With me is my newest addict bundyree on her second find.
Beautiful little park, facilities greatly appreciated hunting with my mate roaming gypsy. There was no trackable.
After doing a few geocaches in Maroochydorewith my amazing Geo-Partner Kaleidoscope, we set our sights on Woombye to add a couple more smilies to our map.. this cache was on our radar, and once parked up, headed to GZ they lead us right to the cache, once found, log was signed and all put back as found. Thanks for the cache!
Out enjoying family time on the Easter long weekend. We had Lunch at the cafe up the road and found one cache already so thought that we would give the geokids a go in the little park while I found the cache. It was a nice easy find. Thanks so much for the cache. Lovely family day out made even better by a couple of finds.
What a clever little hide! Difficulty was in not being spied on by muggles using park. Serious looking camera is a great foil though, so managed to get the job done with it's help. The playground here has a flying fox so went and had a go on that afterwards, cheered on by some mini muggles on the little train. Wheeee! what fun and then had to do the other type so luckily there were facilities there for that too. Another lovely little park for kids of all ages. TFTC us3scouts xxx
I had just finished work and thought that I might grab a geocache to add to my bags of finds. I'm also finding that I am now having to travel out a little further to find said geocaches.
I must admit that I had attempted this geocache many, many moons ago when I was just a Newbie. This would have been within my first 20 or so geocaches and before I even knew what a DNF was!
It was a nice quick drive out here this afternoon as there was no traffic and the roads were surprisingly dead.
I found a great place to park and jumped out of the car and headed over to ground zero. After looking here then there, I came up empty handed... 'Hmmm'... I thought, then again, tree hides and I are not really friends.
It was just starting to get dark and I had to turn on the torch of the phone when '*BAM*', something instantly caught my attention. You could say that the flashlight found the cache and not I!
Thanks for the geocache us3scouts. All is in good order with your cache.

While camping at Yandina .. I just had to go out and find a few caches ..
All Good .. TFTC ..
All Good .. TFTC ..
Checked on this one today. Someone had jammed the cache in too tightly but with the help of seirra1 the cache is all good to go now.
Like the previous finder, I can't extract the cache from its camo. It seems to be firmly wedged in, unless there is a trick I can't detect. Not logging a find until I can sign the log - or am I too old fashioned? TFTH.
Found this cache today before soccer training. Have been meaning to stop and have a look for ages. Couldn't get it out of its hidey hole, broke my pen and hurt my thumb so we took a picture of it instead. Thanks for the cache
I was in the area today so I decided that I should grab a couple of caches whilst I had a little bit of spare time.
I pulled up at a suitable spot and made my way to GZ. I noticed that there was a muggle sitting at a nearby table having his morning tea. I decided to sit on a nearby seat and check out Facebook whilst the muggle was finishing up.
Once he had left I commenced the searched. I looked in various areas without success and decided to step back and have a wider look. Then something struck my eye and sure enough it was a cache. By the way, it is a very good camo job.
The log was signed and the cache replaced exactly as found.
All is good with this cache.
Find #327.

Thia day in History
Monday, January 2, 1860. : The existence of the theoretical planet Vulcan, between Mercury and the Sun, is announced.
Vulcan was a small planet believed to orbit between Mercury and the Sun. Its "discovery" was announced on 2 January 1860, by French mathematician Urbain Jean Joseph Le Verrier. Le Verrier hypothesised that Mercury's unusual orbital motion around the sun was influenced by another planet.
The belief in the possibility that another planet existed close to the sun had begun in the early 1840s when small black spots were observed across the sun. Not seeming to be sunspots, the only other explanation seemed to be that another planet was travelling with Mercury during its transit. These reports were unconfirmed, but they piqued interest. In 1840 François Arago, director of the Paris Observatory, suggested Le Verrier explore the subject.
Using a model based on Sir Isaac Newton's laws of motion and gravitation, together with his own experience in celestial mechanics, Le Verrier determined that Mercury's orbital irregularities were caused by the planet he named Vulcan. Vulcan was so named after the Roman god of fire, suitable for a planet so close to the sun. Many continued to believe Vulcan existed until 1915, when Einstein explained the orbit of Mercury using his theory of general relativity.
Le Verrier went to his grave, certain of planet Vulcan's position in the galaxy. Interestingly, Vulcan's existence was revived for the successful science fiction series "Star Trek", in the 1960s, and continued to play a major part in future movies and spin-off series.

Came back for a second look and bingo. What a great hide. Just that the wire has disconnected and the log is a bit moist. Thanks for a great cache.
A little tricky in dark unfortunately the tether was broken when I found it put it back in hiding spot great camo position
A night of geocaching in Nambour tonight. Phone battery was nearly dead, but we managed to nab this just before it did. A favourite Camo of ours. Thank you
Heading to a event cache at Dunethin, my Mum mnance101, my brother mazza151 and myself decided to do this cache. By the way it was yesterday. TFTC!
On our way to a geocaching event at Dunethin Rock, my daughter pinkypie05, my son mazza151 and myself decided to do this cache. Nice easy find. Great camo! I'm not sure if I broke the tether or not. TFTC!

Out today on a bit of a road trip looking for some specific caches to be able to complete a challenge . Parked nearby and soon had the sneaky hide spotted. Log signed and replaced without any muggle attention. TNLNSL TFTC .
Out early for a soccer match at Woombye. Had a little time to kill and noticed this cache in a quiet little park. A quick search later we found what we were after. Nice hide, TFTC.
Found it with Larry the looter. We had a couple of minutes before the sons soccer game. Tftc
After the everything was done and dusted with why we were up here visiting my grandmother everyone tucked into the food. I quickly polished off some food and while everyone was still eating I invited my muggle cousin and his partner, as well as my GeoSister, for a walk down the road for another one. Not a far walk (I don't think I would have gotten away with it if it was), so we arrived soon.
I had read the hint so knew where to look and once we found the right tree I spotted it straight away. I tried to get muggle cousin to get it but he wasn't able to, so I gave it a shot and managed grab it. TFTC! First cache ever for my muggle cousin! Yay! His partner used to play but hasn't in a while.

I said I would eventually come back to find this one after having previously been here and found the hide but not the actual container. Today it was here yah. Nobody about this early so sat and drank my coffee whilst signing the log. This is a clever cache in a lovely area. Lanyard holding cache to casing has been snapped off though. TNLNSL. TFTC. Am awarding favorite for location and awesome container.
We have tried this one previously but failed. But today we went straight to it, getting better at spotting where they might be now. TFTC
Too exposed to the view of nearby houses - next time will take accomplice. Still, good to check out a park that I've never stopped at before, despite passing it many times.
Found in the dark. A great little hide for our first geocache since moving to the area. Thank you!
Came back a second time - introducing our neighbours to the game!
Log is wet & ruined - will try to remember to pop in with a replacement sometime soon.

Caching in the area today to escape the terrible weather and complete a local challenge. Found the container fairly quickly in it's hide, however the tether is broken. Signed the log (which was a bit damp, so we dried it on the hood of the car for a while) and returned as found. Tftc us3scouts
Did a quick drive by after visiting friends in Nambour. Found easily. Cache in good order. TFTC

This cache is still warm from the last person to find it!!! New logsheet, too (thanks us3scouts).
Quick find and a good hide.
