Sorry folks, looks like the cache has been muggled. Will try and re-establish site soon. Cheers
I really wish that I had done a little reading on this one before making the trip. I had a couple of theories and tried one but could not find the number for that. I tried going one way and found a decoy, and then the other way and come up with nothing. I think about time for a check maybe, just to see if it is or is not there.
We have found a spot where we think it could be found the fake one looks like the rocks have been moved from where it could be!!!! Can you please come and cheek this one!!! Scooby freak over and out
Travelling along after Brain Box, we thought we'd attempt this one being so close. We got to the first coordinates rock hopping across the puddles and after a fruitless search followed the hint.
Located the 3 and the next clue - went one way first, no luck, so off the other way and found the decoy! Back where we were before and found a likely hiding spot but nothing cache-like inside. Is it missing or are we missing the point?
Since this one has not been found for quite some time, the owner may need to check up on it.
Will keep an eye on it for further clues.

That was quite a different kind of multi and I enjoyed that!

Camped at Landsborough and drove to Coloundra, to do some caching.
We visited some lovely areas, with a good variety of hides.
A quick multi, but got our shoes wet, due to the recent rain.
Many thanks for placing this cache, is-that-it, for us and others to find.

A beautiful day to be out & about around this area... Decided to grab a local cache today...
This is a beautiful area to which I had never been before...
A nice area which I never knew was here...
A bit of a search, made the find, stamped log & replaced...
Thanks for bringing me here is-that-it and for the cache...

Gathering more smileys in Caloundra with IolantheK on our second play-day. Now, this was a funny multi and earns a favourite from me. Hey, and we even managed to keep our feet dry! TFTC is-that-it

This was a great little multi. It was quite easy to solve but the man-made river was interesting to explore.
Please note that the TB: 'Drifter's Second to None' - http://coord.info/TB27GQV is no longer in this cache.
Thanks for bring me here 'is-that-it'. The cache is in good order.

Out with thehairbear for an afternoon stroll and we ensured we had plenty of bug spray on.
Once at the first waypoint we found what we needed and proceeded to GZ where we found the cache as it was a bit exposed.
All returned to it's hiding spot and covered well before heading off again.

the four of us had good fun finding this one at dusk! we made a swap and dropped off king kong marge.
Naturally, on a cache you're likely to get your feet wet on, we decided to attempt in the rain! Perhapps foolishly trying to cross the deepest part on wobbly rocks, I still ended up in the water, but as I was wet anyway, it didn't really matter that much [:p]. We found the waypoint, found the surprise, met Team dnf and then found the cache. A nice little multi, achievable and well-crafted and enjoyable. TFTC, is-that-it. =^.^=
This was good fun after the nearby event. I had inadvertently taken the optimal route to this cache but still had the full experience of finding all the containers! The directions were perfect and the unexpected twist added to the fun of finding it. I was smiling all the way back to the car. Thanks wesso family for a great day!
We decided to do this one after leaving the event nearby. I rather liked the unique well concealed waypoint, well done.
We both went a different way but Whint came up with the goods, I didn't even locate the decoy!

Found with Wombles after attending the nearby event. I didn't even realise there was a decoy The waypoint was quite clever & well concealed.... Wombles went one way I went the other... I came up with the goods and all was signed before replacing... we had to do some rock hopping to get in there and out again as there was a bit of rain at the end of the event... but we still kept our feet dry

found my way down to this one and managed to get my shoes pretty wet in the proces. Took a little bit to find the 3, and a little bit more t find the final. TFTC
Did a quick little three step across the water, pity it was four steps required. Managed to spot the first clue quickly and started searching for the second stage. Read the information at stage two, and then started on stage three. Nice short multi with a fun twist. TFTC
Loved the cache, one of my favourites, got tricked by the decoy and pleasantly surprised by the contents of the cache, Thanks!
No water today, did a quick 3 step then a few more, what's this?? Look a bit more and there's a nice cache safe and sound. Tftc
What a great cache - a favourite point from us. We had tried to attempt this one earlier in the year - but it was too wet. This time it was nice and dry. We got to the listed co-ordinates and after a bit of searching found the next clue - very clever! Armed with this information we knew we had two choices, so Marco took off one way and I went the other. After a while we both called out "I found it!" - but how could we both have found it?!? Ah - the good old decoy cache! Marco had gone the wrong way and I was the finder of the proper cache! We loved the effort that went in to this cache. TNLNSL TFTC
Found with Bedmaker while in the area today.
An enjoyable little multi. Luckily we found it in the first place we looked.

Found with TassieGirl13.
We’d had a DNF on this one last time we were here due to it being muggled.
I noticed it was replaced and today we were back in the area so it was time to turn that icon into a smiley one.
I still remembered where GZ was so upon arrival we headed straight to it and this time found the cache and added our names to the list.

Braved the water in thongs as I was in the area and couldn't handle a non smiley face in Bell Vista. Found relatively easily although that three certainly blends into the environment. Thankfully no spiders today. TFTC is-that-it. I hope it doesn't get muggled again
Hello to all, sorry for delay in maintenance. Original container had been muggled and removed. I have replaced with new plastic container containing new paper and pencil and some swaps.. Hope now it stays unmuggled..Cheers, is-that-it..

Sorry Geo Cachers-looks like this one has been muggled. Will try and fix soon..Cheers
Found the required info and made our way to GZ.
But No Cache.
Had a look around and found the lid a few meters away.
Looks like it's been muggled.

Came to little mountain and Bellvista for a little geocaching day and thought why not this one for my first multi cache. I found this one quite easy but fun to find had cache in hand in seconds made a few swaps and was out of there before the snake took me
Ha ha. Got us. No sign of the snake today. Perhaps he was out enjoying the rain. TFTC
Well it was raining and we didn't have gumboots but we thought we'd give it a go anyway. Imagine our joy when there was not a single trickle of water anywhere. Clue found and cache in hand soon after. Lovely views! TFTC
Awesome find with mozzafamily (even though he had already found it) first multi so TFTC
On the Sunshine Coast for the weekend escaping the heat and of course finding some caches. Nice quick find because we were standing where concrete meets water and a local motorbike child told us where to go and beware of snake!!! Found the three and coords after cache!

Another beautiful day on the Sunshine Coast and we had a variety of hides of find. An interesting way to find the cache. We have allocated a fav point.
Thanks to is-that-it.

I was caching west of here earlier in the afternoon and try as a might i could not seem to find a way in from that side. Once at GZ there appears to be pathways across to that side but other than a route uptream I still cannot see a way in.
So it was the alternative direct had me very close to WP1 and then it was off to the cache (well maybe [:0]

Wrong - one wet foot ? our entry point wasn't the same as the hint indicated but the marker was easily found and the hint retrieved, then followed on and my trainee located the final,

A multi! That'll make two cache types for gaz'n'kab and I today, big outing indeed Gaz found us a good parking space and we headed down the path and over the puddle, easier for some of us than others. Stood at the co-ords and thought about the riddle and the big 3 was spotted. Headed over and ah, very clever waypoint hiding style there. Got the info we needed but had to decide left or right? We picked one, counted and sure enough, spotted the cache tucked away. Moved the rocks and cache sprung forth. The note inside about the snake seemed a bit late but also out dated and no snake spotted today. Added our names to the log and replaced. Nice one, something a bit different and not too difficult, TFTC is that it
Found this cache whilst i was out caching with IolantheK in the sunny sunshine coast. We arrived nearby, parked bumblebee and found our way to the first spot. We aren't one for gadgets (HAHAHA) so we just counted until we got to the general spot. I have NO idea where IolantheK was headed but i quickly found the 3 and called out to her to come back. She came back and was chuffed at this one. I let her read the hint and she went one direction and i didn't see anything there so i went the other direction and VOILA! CACHE!! I grabbed it and opened the cache to see a piece of paper saying watch out for the snake. CRAP That scared me so i replaced the cache quickly and almost ran to the car Thanks for the cache
Out and about today with Net88 for a spot of geocaching around Caloundra
Now this a neat little multi Parked close by and wandered to WP1. Definitely appropriately titled Took our bearings and had a little walk. I completely missed WP2, but Net found it, then I revealed the clue, which made me smile. Very creative Following the clue we wandered one direction and found nothing, so wandered the other way and Net found the cache. Very cleverly done! Didn't see any snake, but Net was a little spooked.
TFTC, is-that-it. A favourite point from me

A little water flowing here after the recent rain. spotted the first clue, then went this way then that eventually came up with the cache. Thanks is-that-it for bringing us to this nice area.
I’d been caching all day in the rain, so thought this one would be a nice way to finish. With my trusty gumboots, I crossed the raging concrete river and struggled across the boggy ground to the clue. Okay, so maybe it wasn’t quite raging, but it was at least ankle-deep . Found some “interesting” things before looking up to see the “3” staring down at me. “Okay”, I thought, “time to get with the programme” [B)]. Had to smile when I found the clue (that's cute) and headed off in the correct direction to the cache. TN/LN/SL and was a bit freaked out by the mention of a snake . Hopefully, with all the visitors to this cache, it’s moved house … hopefully. Thanks for a bit of fun. I really enjoyed this multi-cache and finished my varied day on a high.
I know what you mean about not attempting this one after rain. Figured we would be fine, seeing as it hadn't rained for a couple of days but still was pretty wet. Never the less we headed in without too much damage! Found the first clue quite easy but then for some reason we were looking in the wrong spot. Worked it out after a couple of minutes and cache was in hand. Thanks is-that-it, enjoyed coming to this area
This was our first Multi Cache I was so excited to do this one! Now we have done all the caches in Belvista TFTC!
Yes definitely need gumboots or don't mind getting feet muddy. Love the little rhyme and extra "hints" (which helped immensely considering I'm not a big fan of rock wall caches). So clever and makes it all the more interesting. Didn't find the snake! Glad I didn't see this note before grabbing it! TFTC.
Nearly got my feet wet. Enjoyed the puzzle and the find. Log dry. TNLN TFTC Thanks is-that-it
1020hrs. Once we found our way through the maze of streets parking was easy. Not much water around and found clue quickly. Went the wrong way first but that was soon corrected and cache was found. No snake to be seen and we were on our way. TFTCSL
Arrived at the first WP with SKIT and a few others. Read the clue and headed off. We soon found something... but had a bit of a scratch head moment...oh!! that's not it!! kept searching and eventually found it.
No sign of the snake today.
Thanks is-that-it, we really enjoyed this one!!

Great cache was not an easy one as lots of muggles. Luckily the snake was no where to be seen left TB 'Black sheep' to graze on the green grass. TFTC
A quite achievable multi. TFTC. The crossing were quite good today. Not much water about.
Found it with my cousin. She's now into geocaching to after tracking this one down. Took the kawana beach rock and replaced it with an orange stone.
This was not what I expected for a multi when I headed off with pad in hand. We kept our feet dry and headed for the cache, which was soon in hand. SL TFTC
What an interesting little mutli with a difference this was. We managed to follow the WP's for the most part to find the cache - safely stowed away. It was in god condition. I like the amount of effort that has gone into this one. TFTC is-that-it
Found at 0828. Found the place where the water meets the concrete took a while to find a rather large 3 and found the clue and soon had the cache. I left wondering what the 3 was for. Cache OK and dry. TFTC.
I must be blind. I could not see a 3 anywhere. I had plenty of practice jumping balancing on the stepping stones as I crossed over at least 6 times. Finally I thought like a cacher and decided to wing-it to the cache. It didn't take too long to discover the hiding spot. Thanks for the jumping practice. TNLN.
Didn't take long to take find the number three, that was after Geomum headed north and was insisting she was heading south west!! After some quick re direction we found the clue.
Goemum went one way, and Geodad the other and of course Mum found the cache quick smart.
Loved the clue and cache, most enjoyable.

Very very clever hide. We also got a laugh out of it
The number 3 and the clue was excellent, but went the wrong way of cause...lol

Found with Questing4 and AusTrackers while here on holiday from Perth. Thanks for the hunt.
Tricked me but soon had the right cache to hand, lovely area. Glad it was dry as we had forgotten the gum boots.
Took the bikes and rode along the Bellvista concrete rapids. Clever idea. Cache is dry after the recent rain. TFTC
A little bit of water, a rhyme and a twist I haven't seen before;all together an enjoyable cache hunt. Thanks for putting so much thought into it is-that-it. Earns a favourite from me. Took frog left matchbox car and signature item.
Hooray...*FTF*. We went back as a team today after i ended up with the day off work.
The littlin' was asleep in the car, so janine gave me a few instructions and i headed for GZ.
I found the "3" and the clue and discovered straight away where janine went wrong yesterday. I'm definitely going to call it pregnant brain.
The treasure was soon in hand (after a bit of a detour) and i took it back to the car to sign and show off. [^]
Took TB, Left a couple of kids toys. Thanks is-that-it, well done on your first hide.

I read this one today and was a bit hesitant about going there as Jason was at work and reading about the need for gumboots was concerning me as I have a very pregnant waddle at the moment... An hour went by and I decided I would go and have a little look, turns out I didn't even get my feet wet... I found what I thought was the no.3, but quickly realized that that was not right and found another no.3... What I thought was the clue had me quickly heading in a particular direction, where I searched for about 30 minutes but I came up with nothing... Not sure if I had a case of pregnant brain or just couldnt see it... I shall return when Jase is not working... Hopefully I can then log a successful find...
