One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

From past posts and our search we found nothing but someone did scribble on a brick DNF

Sat on steps and rummaged for ages without any luck.

After all the 'easy' notes in previous logs I was looking forward to this bring a quick stop. So many leaves!!! I probably picked a bad time going at the mozzies' dinner time too but after a fair bit of leaf raking and plenty of bites I'm giving up for today!

It had been a long day and I think my patience level wasn't up to this search. Between the leaf litter and the real litter, I had a poke but nothing leapt out at me and I decided to head for a faster find. Thanks anyway, bristracker. =^.^=

Having had a very busy Sunday visiting relatives it took until late in the day when I finally had time to grab a cache. This one was handy and thanks to the accurate description it was found and duly inscribed quick smart! TFTC. TNLN. SL.

Easy find
TFTC

Our very first find

Dis was pweddi easy to find. Cheers geocaching

This one was pretty easy to find. Mad spot

nice hide[Time to Find: 11 min]

Took a while of digging in the leaves but got our hands on it fairly quickly. TFTC

Took the chicks. Nice easy find for them

Day trip from Brisbane, easy find, covered with dry leaves.

On day 5 on my Queensland caching trip I was able to grab 65 caches for the day. Had a great sleep and started early to beat the heat. Plenty of great caches today and thanks once again to all the CO's.

Yes co-ords were out on the south. Apologies to all who ran across the road . South should read .923 folks

Coordinates changed from:
S 27° 58.933 E 153° 22.623

Coordinates changed to:
S 27° 58.923 E 153° 22.622

Distance from original: 61.2 feet or 18.6 meters.
Apologies toy those who were sent across the road by the misleading co-ordinates.
The principal problem was with the South co-ordinate.
Fortunately people used the cache name to help them.

After lunch with OrionJ and the lovely bristracker, we headed out for a few local caches.

This one was just around the corner and we ignored the coords and headed to the obvious location. The CO updated the coords while we did the paperwork. An easy find!

TFTC bristracker, seeing a bit more of the area lest I head south in the future

Another day out and about caching on the Gold Coast with Poynts95 and Sportacuss. Had a great day, found a few, including an earth cache, which is always a bonus. Thanks to all CO's for hiding and maintaining their caches....
------------------------------------------------------
At origina coords, GPSr had us on the wrong side of the road, but after reading a few logs, the jig was up, so to speak, and the cace was found.... TFTC.

Your listed coordinate is on the wrong side of the street. Thankfully your chose a great title which enabled me to make a quick find. The cache is quite exposed; I tried to cover it with a few leaves. Thanks bristracker.

Nice easy find after several DNFs

I'm amazed that this hasn't been disturbed by muggles. But definitely pleased. A nice evening walk. TFTC

Nice easy find.

Quick find coords bit off tftc. 25/04/13 2:30 PM

Headed off to this cache and I was ahead of bristracker... totally oblivious to where I was and the name of the cache I kept walking. Bristracker sat down and said where are you going? oops take time to think girl! Found very easily. Sneaky hide right there.

To be honest, what I was reading in the description compared to where the GPS was pointing a two very different things. Even where the marker on the map shows for this cache is on the opposite side of the road to where the cache is actually located. It is just lucky that this area poses a very likely position for the cache. Could be worth checking the coords for this one, I would have taken a reading but not going to tempt fate taking a reading with an iphone.

Last find for the day before heading back north to Brisbane.

TFTC

Last stop before work. Wish I didn't have to go, plenty more caches to find. It wasn't covered at all so an easy find. TB left by Grub Fred wasn't there. TSLSSL. Covered it up a little. TFTC. Doh, off to work.

Quick find Find on a short trip to Qld. TFTC

Its Christmas Eve the shoppings done & groceries purchased, so its now time to do some caches.
With my sisters who will log her first find today, we visited many parks, gardens, bush bashed & did some lovely walks.
Merry Xmas & TFTC bristracker

The name of this cache reminds me of someone........ Hmmm, don't tell me, it will come to me I'm sure Quick find, all is nice and dry. TFTC bristracker

Found with Fizz62 on a big caching weekend. Nice easy find. Covered it up a bit better as it was exposed.

Didn't need to sit on the stairs, the cache was laying out in the open. Covered it up more

A quick grab on my way past.

Thanks bristracker for the cache

# 448

Found nothing at GZ and used the hint. Then we found cache quickly but
about 12m away where we had searched before.
TFTH. Signed log.

Walked here from Crown Prince to find a cute little set of steps,sat cown and what do you know,found a cache.TFTC.bristracker.

Whoops. Sorry to the person who's front stairs we were invading. Eventually found the RIGHT stairs but still took a while to find the cache. Found with kadin92..

Found by geojen on a family caching day in the Ashmore area.TFTC.

This one was for GeoJen to find. Following the helpful hint, she sat on the steps to ponder the situation and then went straight to the spot where the cache was hidden.
TFTC.

Found easily during my day of hunting. I parked very close, made the find and logged it, left an Army man as I found this fitting to the Stair Man cache. I have met the Geocacher team you mention at a few caches now, a lovely couple and I also love Zack the dog. Cache is in good condition.

Took us a little while but finally found the right spot. TNLNSL, TFTC Bristracker.

An interesting little pedestrian laneway here. In conjunction with Captain Terror we found this one. That is, he found it and we logged it TFTC bristracker

Ooh, a tribute cache and for a top bloke as well. With Xusia today and parked down a side street and wandered up the hill across the road and up a few stairs to this one. Some muggles across the road so I made a covert retrieval and the logbook was passed around for the signing. A strange little spot here, TFTC bristracker

With the children over on Stradie for the day we, Geo Mum and I (GeoDad) were free to have a day of caching caching caching.

We decided to concentrate on this area so we could try for a good number of smileys.

Nice to have one where didn't have to walk across soaking ground.

Nice hide Geo Mum gives this a favourite point.

Thanks bristracker TFTC TSLS SL Thanks for a good few find from you today!!

Don't forget the Aerogard...and 'ave a good weekend. Plenty of Mossies at this one. Found with ShadowAsssassin just on dusk. Log book bag has a split in the bottom but the book was dry.

Quick find while seated. Thanks

I sat on the top step and became stare man as I surveyed the surrounding properties on a nice quiet Sunday morning.
A quick find.
TFTC

Lucky parked my car close to the stairs as I'm sure a neighbour came out to see what I was doing. While she rearranged dead palm leaves on the ground, I signed the log and quickly put the cache back before she could blink TFTC

Found the cache safely tucked away as I made my way up the stairs. After continuing further along, the log was signed and the cache returned safely to its hiding spot. Thanks for the cache.

Having met ‘stairman’, been challenged by his caches and enjoyed his company, I just had to find this cache. Didn’t take too long before I was opening the cache and dropping everything ... insert spider dance ... a small spider was trapped in the cache and as soon as the lid was opened, he was on a mission to escape. I can only assume he’d been in there for at least three days, because that was the last find. Anyhow, it scared the hell out of me . After a suitable recovery period, I TN/LN/SL and put everything back in the hiding spot ... sans spider.

I parked over the road and took top the stairs.

A pleasant place to sit and watch the world go by but I had a job to do.

Found the cache in seconds and got out of there. TFTC.

Quick find once the aged muggle eventually strolled past. Busy for a quiet spot TFTC

Walked the stairs and found the cache. TFTC bristracker.

We stared at GZ for a while before finding the cache. Very nice. TFTC BT.

Tftc found it on a cool afternoon Sl

Slink1 and I embarked on a boys own trip to the Gold Coast took some time out to collect a few caches along the way TFTC SL

I had more trouble finding the stairs than the cache I parked the bike in just the spot where I could not see any stairs. lol

An easy find. Thanks bristracker.

Nice quick drive by TFTC bristracker

Quick find after a short sit! TFTC

Out caching with Mischievous Maverick (we got leave passes from the other halfs - yay!) Great fun TFTH

With a 'Leave Pass' from MrsMischievousMaverick and MrGreenGeckos on a trip to Cape York, MrsGG and I trundled off to the Gold Cast for the weekend to do a spot of Caching.

It wasn't until we had the GeoTruck backed up, down a side street and turned around that we noticed the named suspect. I think it was because we were both focussed on 'old mate' mugglehound hearding the boat trailer back into the driveway...Once we regained sight of our objective, the cache was easily in hand and the log book signed.

Nice and easy fine first one for the day TFTC

Doing a few caches on the coast with Middnight Dolphin this was a quick find SL TFTC

This was certainly one I wanted to knock over seeing it has a very similar name to mine. We arrived at the GZ and quickly had the cache in hand. I sat on the stairs while I signed the log. TFTC

Stairman1 was dying to find this one while we were at the Gold Coast today. We rocked up to the cache which was quickly in hand. Nice hide. TFTC

Love the stairs ,the clue gave it away

Found using the updated coords. Nobody around today. TFTC bristracker

A breeze past our GZ of this one had Lokipagan and I confused - and then we noticed Aussie Liahona's alternative logs (which I have re-posted up).

Thankfully no muggles were about today and Loki found the cache well hidden. It is in good condition. TFTC bristracker

A quick find with Mr Gap - I didn't have my GPS on me but with the clues I was able to find it, the big dog nearby gave me a bit of start

Another bristracker cache requiring stealth & cunning due to location & muggle proximity...

This time sitting on verandah overlooking GZ...

Luckily a small shrub provided enough cover for a stealthy grab & retreat to sign log...

Replacing was just as tricky

TNLNSL

Thanks bristracker for the cache

Still had my head down over my GPS when Ms Wig had it in her hand.

Thanks BT.
