Needs to be checked no one has found since March. It's either no where near coordinates or it's been muggled. Terrain has also changed quite a bit??
 
09-Jul-14
I'm going to say found it as on our way back from Coolum Hideaway cache my son found this in a zip lock back laying on the rocks, no container and in bad condition (wet and torn) I would say it's the end of this cache Sad unless creators can replace it? Damn muggles!!!
 
09-Jul-14
Either needs replacing or taken offline as the remnants were found about 50m away strewn over the rocks.
 
04-Jul-14
I think this one is a gonna :c but i very nice spot Smile
 
30-Jun-14
Muggles limited our search. There were a few empty beer bottles in GZ, wondering if this one has gone board walking.
 
21-Jun-14
Too much rooting around for me... :'(

Don't find it.
 
09-May-14
Attempted to find it last weekend. Group of 4 of us, searched for ages, couldn't find it.
 
11-Apr-14
Looked in all the possible spots but came up empty handed. Gave up when a group of people came down. Will have to try again when next here on holidays.Sad

Booyah Found it!

Forgot to log this one!

This was an easy find. took a friend with her 3 year old daughter along. once I spotted it i placed the little one close to the cache and told her to look for something. She was proud of her first find!

Despite the climb down the 105 steps, and evading a big lizard, we had no luck with this one. A beautiful spot though.

Found the geocache but couldn't sign the book as my pen ran out of ink very clever spot but obvious once you see that one thing doesn't belong
 
22-Feb-14
This beach is one of our favourite picnic spots on the coast! Can't believe we've never looked to see if a cache was here. I guess we were too busy enjoying the magic of this place... Smile tftc!
 
07-Feb-14
Geomum claimed this, tooka bit of finding. Claimed the TB and left the Pirate TB , where better for a pirate den by da sea. Ahhhhhh harrrr.
 
27-Jan-14
This was a great little spot for some morning caching. Watching the sun rise up and out of the ocean... This is watch caching to me is all about!

Found the awesome geocoin ‘Room 20’ (http://coord.info/TB5QJXN) in the cache which was also full of little treasures to look over.

I grabbed the geocoin and swapped it for the TB "MIUT Travel Bug” (http://coord.info/TB4X9DB) which has been keeping me company for the past fortnight. I wish TB MUIT all the best in his travels and I will be keeping a very close eye on him!

Thanks DunSuWil for a great cache in a great spot.

⇄ And as always, Happy Hunting ⇄

Had my eye on the Coolum caches to do in one hit, and this afternoon provided an opportunity to do so.

I searched all the Pandanus Trees didn't I...I'm glad I got him in the end. Had to wait for some people to decide which way they were going to walk.

Thanks for the cache DunSuWil

found this on a beautiful day in paradise..up here for the weekend
unfortunatly i could'nt sign the log book my pen died...
what a fantastic beach area..took pathtag ...tftc
 
29-Oct-13
Now, this, for a cache set up by a seven-year-old, is pretty cool.
A lovely, lost private beach with secret stairs.
Quartpotpobblebonk did end up face-first on the bank of the fairly icky little stream (with reluctant caching companion laughing) but everything else about this site is terrific.
And the cache is full of things.
Good for kids right now - just watch that creek crossing - go a different way and do NOT think you can grab a pandanus root for support - they will not support the weight of an adult Very Happy

Thanks for the cache DunSuWill
 
19-Oct-13
Too many muggles today.
 
10-Oct-13
What a wonderful spot, ventured down and around taking photographs as the beach was all mine. Unfortunately 3 muggle arrived and set down not that far from the cache. Oh well time for more photographs.

Once they moved on I had the beach to myself again- took much longer than I expected to locate this one. Cool
 
05-Oct-13
We searched all around the roots of the pandanus trees but couldn't find it however a beautiful sea swim and dolphin watching greatly eased the disappointment .. Will try again soon! x
 
30-Sep-13
Great spot! Forgot pen. Took photo!

Yipppie do da I found it, took awhile but success struck! Thank you !
 
27-Aug-13
Found 11.15am
A great walk to the steps down, I knew the walk back up would be harder. Once at GZ the cache was found in the first place I looked.

TNLNSL thanks for showing us this secluded beach.
 
27-Aug-13
too many muggles around . . another day will try Smile
 
24-Aug-13
Took my dance girls caching. Area has had some tree cutting so need to look a bit harder.
 
15-Aug-13
The walk along the bays here is one of my favourites so it was a great pleasure to take a detour down to the beach. Loved the stones. Only one family down here enjoying the beautiful winter weather. Thanks DunSuWill.
 
03-Aug-13
Had us tricked for a bit Smile
 
20-Jul-13
This cache sure took me to a magical place I'd have otherwise not known about. Out today on the Sunshine Coast with Fangsoki and Pprime and we decided it would be worth grabbing this one on the way.

Fangsoki parked us close and Prime and I headed down the stairs. I believe I had sat in the park above once but not ventured down. when we got to the bottom I was well impressed with this area. Such perfect little rocks all over the place. Onto the cache though and Prime was quickly all over it. It didn't exactly look plastic to us, but it is doing the job. Signed the logbook and replaced. Now for the ascent of all those stairs.

A wonderful little spot to visit in the early morning. Thanks for showing me this spot. TFTC DunSuWil Smile
 
20-Jul-13
A day out on the trails with Fangsoki and Captain Terror searching for really really really old caches ... and a few others in the area. This one popped up after a nearby grab so the two of us that aren't already in this logbook trundled down to GZ and thanks to the hint made a quick grab.
Thanks for placing this cache, DunSuWil. Found in good condition.
{Overall find #2043}

Big Grin TFTC I've been here before, but not caching. Lovely spot. Easy find
 
13-Jul-13
Third time lucky! TFTCSL
 
09-Jun-13
We walked down the stairs to a very interesting place. A fellow we chatted with up top later, reckons an old glacier probably brought the rocks down to the shore, there are not very many other places like this in the district. Thanks for a good hide, we loved the location.
 
09-Jun-13
Mrs Gunnie wasn't getting out the car for this one, after being blasted away at the previous cache... Boy the wind was howling along the coast today... Surprised I headed down the steps to be met by two middle aged ladies sporting dress up crowns and other fancy dress garments... I never asked the question... Wink

At GZ, I wandered around looking for likely hiding spots when I noticed something untoward. Closer inspection revealed the container and I had a nice quick find... Big Grin Name in the log, I tucked it away and made a hasty dash back up the steps before the rain set in again...

Cheers DunSuWil.
 
08-Jun-13
Was a good cache, careful of muggles sunbaking or swimming, but great view and spotted some local art near by Smile
 
26-May-13
Had a look at this one last week but the track was blocked for repairs had another go today and after a short search yorki said is it under that and sure enough there it was. TFTC
 
23-May-13
Found today with Geosister in tow. Repairs being done to bottom steps after the erosion caused by recent bad weather conditions. Nice hide & all is well with the cache. TFTC
 
10-May-13
Took a little while to hunt it but found it eventually! No pen in the cache, so we couldn't sign it (forgot ours, again!)
Took purple ring, left Thailand magnet. TFTC
BTW, LOVE that chair!
 
09-May-13
Great cache, no pen there though, but wow, what an outlook, love the natural beach seat that someone has made. We took a little purple ring and left a Thailand magnet Smile
 
01-Apr-13
Second hunt for the day. Loving the hidey holes everyone are helping us discover. Great view from this one. Took us a little while. Passed it over the first couple times. Found it coming back on a different angle. Good spot.
 
10-Mar-13
I walked along over the rocks, hopeful of grabbing all three in a row. This one took probably the longest as although the hint and directions were great, my iPhone suggested I needed to be 11m away from where I found the little bottle hiding. Anyway, it was great to grab a TB and then make my way up the killer steps for a bit more of a cardio workout. All in fine condition here today so TFTC.

What a beautiful spot to take photos and watch surfers.

Dropped TB Sharko guess this a prefect spot to get dropped after such a long journey.

High tide big seas and plenty of runoff from recent rain plus collapsed creek bank made creek crossing hairy. With Tia maria
 
24-Feb-13
tftc. went down wrong set of stairs but had a lovely walk along the beach and then over the rocks. Once we were in the right spot it was easy to find. tnlnsl.
 
24-Feb-13
tftc. It stopped raining so it was nice walking along the beach and over the rocks. Should have gone down the other set of stairs. Had a great time looking with the 4 travelling buddies. tnlnsl.

Thanks

What a work out.. Definitely need to have water handy for this one

#4479. The descent was steep, but we were soon rewarded with a quick find at the bottom. TFTC.
 
27-Nov-12
This was my 2nd official search and 5th in total. Having now read previous logs, it probably wasn't there last time. Well, that's my excuse anyway, because this time it just jumped out at me.
Another ex-DNF I can cross off my list.

We had a wonderful day of caching in this vibrant and scenic part of Queensland. We loved the Sunshine Coast when we were here back in 2007 and it is still as lovely especially on a bright sunny day like today. We enjoyed finding this well hidden cache. Finally spotted the monoliths which helped. Coords that might help future cachers 23 32 432 and 153 05 862. This one gets one of our fav points.
Thanks to DunSuWil.

Nice easy one. Just as well after all the time 'invested' in the one just south of here. TFTC.
