First time hunt with an experience geocacher and its a didn't find. Very sad it may need maintenance. Of for the next find
Tried to find it with a first time caches but it was a no go might need maintenance .
Had to unplug it from a jammed spot. Hopefully it isn't for the next cacher. Great views.
Very difficulty to retrieve but is there got it out didn't have a pen so didn't sign but thanks lovely spot got a photo for my own proof
Went looking with a group of 8 muggles and still couldn't find it after half an hour.I think it's been taken or moved elsewhere.
Night cache with four muggle friends who were interested in caching. Spotted by accident. Hard extraction at first but if u lean back, extraction is easy. Beware of muggles, but beautiful outlook TFTC!
Bit of a night cache, with four muggle friends who were interested in caching. Spotted by Allí. Hard extraction at first but if u lean back, extraction is easy.
Easy find, but a bit risky for a Sunday afternoon, so I had to pretend I was looking for something I'd dropped. Muggles a plenty when I was opening the cache, but I guess they thought I was changing a pacemaker battery. Cache placed back where I found it. TFTC.
The date's wrong on this website, because it defaults to U.S. time who are nearly a day behind - so I corrected it to the 11th.

Sat on the chair. Poked around with seasoned cachers. Nothing. 2nd attempt. I'm claiming it, but not found
After a great ride on jetx went to check out this cache.. found after a short search but couldn't open it.. seeing we r staying just up the road took it home to open with pliers. ... got it open but log full and didn't have anything to replace it. . TFTC. .. have left it a bit loose for next person. . May need to be replaced. .
Needs new log strip and cache probably needs replacing too.. very hard to undo possibly from the salt in the air..
Found tonight but the cache looks as if it has been damaged no matter how much we tried we could not get the cache opened so we placed back where we found it

There wasn't a single muggle at the GZ when I arrived, and after a short search, the cache was spotted. The cache is stuck in its hiding spot, and so I couldn't remove it to sign the log - CO should check on this ASAP! Took a photo of the cache to prove I was here. A nice view of the canals.

An awesome first ever find for me with my wonderful sister ! Can't wait to find some more !
Nice quick find pen wouldn't write properly great spot for a rest and enjoy the view tftc
After this mornings adventures I spent the rest of the day doing drive by caches.
Read my log on any cache on Wave Break Island.
A short walk from where I parked the car and once at GZ I was hoping for a quick find because this spot is an over when the sun is beating down.
I did find it quickly and retreated back to some shade just as quickly.
Thanks for the cache.

Was very very difficult to get out of its hinting place and then my pen died, so there is an indent of my log:P
Life is good. Work decided I need to spend a couple of days at a conference down this way. Happy to oblige. After a long day being conferenced at I got to escape well after sunset for something far more entertaining, and educational (usually). It was dark and the recent logs on my offline GPSr worried me a little - may not be able to open it, may not be able to eve n find ... oh, there it is. Took a moment to nab it and it opened just fine for me. Log all good inside too.
Thanks for placing this cache, Kevs_Team. Found in good condition.

Found it but could not open it either. Even my bodybuilding bro was not able to... But TFTC
Found while on a morning walk. Our first find outside of South Australia. Unfortunately the screw lid was jammed so we couldn't open the container. TFTC
Very Sneaky hide took a while to find.. Sadly couldn't sign the log cause the cache would not open looks like the rust has got to it... TFTC
#93 Tricky hide. Luckily got some hint from a previous log. However the lid was jammed and I was unable to open it. So I took a photo log instead. TFTC !
Found after quite a search. Had to explain about geocaching to the operator of the nearby boat as she came over to see what we were doing. Once we found it we had the trouble of extracting it, then our pen wouldn't write on the waxy paper, then I had more trouble trying to roll up the log again. Eventually completed the task then off to ride on the superduck. Back to cold Melbourne tomorrow!
Thanks
Thanks
Found it. Beautiful sunny day. No muggles around. TFTC had trouble actually getting it but geoson worked it out.
We'd been doing our bit for the australian economy, shopping at Pacific Fair. The bus stop on the way back was just outside the park so it seemed sensible to stop for this cache Took us a bit of thinking to figure out how to get to the cache itself but in the end it was quite easy. Lovely spot here in the sun, shame we have to go home today! Tftc
After a search of the area. In all the usual places started to look at other spots. And low and behold there it is. A little shimmy and it was mine. Signed and replaced. TFTC.
After a day of maintenance on my units around the corner I decided it was time to pick up this cache I have walked past a couple of times. Took a while to find this one and once found took more effort to retrieve than the average cache. The log was a bit waxy so In the dark I am not sure weather my scribe will be there for future generations. such is life.
I could see the cache but took a little maneuvering to get it. Nice concealed location on a busy area.
#310 TFTC... was expecting this one to be a little easier than it was... luckily I have super human strength or maybe its just that things aren't bolted down the way they should be
Found this morning while trying to book a whale watching escapade. That didn't work out, but we scored a so it seems like the day is off to a good start.
Cache is 100% there thanks to some helpful cachers.
The old hide was still in place but has now been removed.
The new hide was at GZ just harder to find.
Have fun

Found the rusted out shell with km74. Couldn't sign log too rusted but a good walk for us. TFTC
Muggle free zone this morning which made it easy. Couldn't sign log as its pretty average. Rust from the container has stained to log. It started to fall apart as I unrolled so I just put it back together. Took photo.
Needs a new container and log sheet.
Thanks Kev for a cool hide

Find this quite quickly on a cold Thursday night. Great view of the buildings along Surfer's from this location. We were a bit confused as the only cache we found was a slightly rusted nano, which had a completely full log. Wrote on top of someone else's name - both can be seen. No sign of the new cache or log though.
Very nice little spot, some muggles about but an easy find by geodaughter while on morning walk along the river. Log is moist and full and cache looks to have a small crack and no o ring so may need maintenance. SL TFTC.
Great spot and an obvious cache? Logbook was full and very hard to get out.

Up at the Gold Coast for the weekend from Adelaide .... time to do some caching!
Funny how when I tried this one last year, I just couldn't find it.
This time I must have been on the right wave length ... found the nano quite easily this time.
Just noticed that the last entry seemed to indicate that it may not be there.
But I found it easily enough this time.
Seek3r-ed and found!

If a new container was placed it has been taken. The one there is old and missing the o ring. It is rusty and cracked and the log is a solid lump of rusty paper. Perhaps the repairs have not yet been done although it says they have.
