I believe the sign has been hit by a truck and so we'll archive this one now as it's not possible to currently replace it.
Sorry for any inconvenience!

It was exactly where I thought it would be but still took a while to find. I'm just glad I'm so tall
We had noticed that we had found 195 of Aussie Liahona's caches so planned today as an Aussie Liahona only day to find some more and get our 200th cache by these very prodigious hiders of caches in this neck of the woods. We have learnt a lot from their placements, styles and variety of hides since we found the first AL cache 4 days after starting Geocaching back in June 2017. We certainly would not have visited 19 cemeteries in the region without their caches being there!!
This was the first in our quest for 9 caches today. A few cars heading in both directions but easy enough to look for the cache without giving it away. Managed to retrieve and replace with no onlookers. TFTC Aussie Liahona #196

Found with Peppa clan Beckett abeck58 Catboy67 and 2manytrailers after heading into find Dead Reckoning. Lovely little part of the world. Thanks for the cache.
A quick find thanks to Catboy67’s climbing ability... a day out with friends hunting treasure... tftc...
On this day, I felt the need to go for a drive and I didn't make any plans beyond the first half-hour or so. And thus I ended up here, halfway up Mount Tamborine collecting a little cluster of unfound Aussie Liahona geocaches. Getting this geocache was going to be interesting.
Moreso, getting up Wongawallan Drive was a slow effort in my tiny car with its less-than-one-litre engine. But anything is possible in first gear and the air conditioning switched off! Now, having cleared the area, I'd head back down and I could see this geocache was at the top of the slope.
I could park safely, then had to wait for a muggle car to pass by. Traffic up here; rude! But they passed and I made my way over to the structure to find a geocache. I poked around for a minute and found nothing. That's odd. I looked down and spotted it.
Unsure how long it had been dislodged, but at least it was still findable! The lid half unscrewed, I feared for the dryness of inside. But inside was dry enough, and the rite-in-the-rain log saved the rest. I signed my name then replaced where it obviously should have come from and slid it in so it won't come out unassisted again.
There's no capturing the views to the east on camera here. And I am somewhat envious of the houses that have literally *the entire Gold Coast* as their verandah view. But I watched them as I eased back down the slope and made my way again towards home. Thanks for bringing me up to this lovely part of the world, Aussie Liahona

Quickly stopped to grab this one on the way home. Nice quick find by reezielou. TFTC!
Reezielou jumped out and grabbed this one for the team while krcamber and I supervised. TFTC
Visiting these caches today to check on them. This one didn't need a new log as there is plenty of space on both sides of the log. Please try to use just one line when signing. We found this one was pushed far along which made it difficult to retrieve. It doesn't need to go far from the end to not be seen. Many thanks!
Cheers and happy caching!

A rather large convoy of cars was used today to visit a few caches in the area after an adventure up a nearby little hill. 
Given the tight parking I had to drive on and walk back a tad further than the rest.

Out today to meet up with a few others to grab a couple of unique caches in the area. This one was on the way as we passed by, can’t let a trad go by. 5 cars pulling up for an assault on a lonely little trad must be funny to see. Wow what some great views, all along this road you can see for literally miles and miles absolutely stunning. The cache was found with a good reach by myself, the log was signed for all, cache was replaced as found and on to the next one and we still have an agenda to complete. Thanks for the hide.
Fourth cache for the day. We hit up this cache after previous success in a bat filled cave 
. That's pretty hard to top. This one was on the road out so it became a drive-by target. It was a relatively quick find, and thankfully we had people with us who were not vertically challenged! The views coming down this road make it really worthwhile. It was a cool day and we could see for miles. So stunning. My poor car struggled up this road and there were moments of doubt.... very glad to get back to the bottom.
TFTC - some TB visits.

Our convoy stopped here to try for a find. Despite several eyes searching, it took a few moments before chamad spotted it safely tucked away.

Last one in the general vicinity. Knew where it had to be but still a clever hide! TFTC
Out for a caching adventure or two with Hatzofff, Dora the Explorer! This one took waaay longer to find than it should have! Eventually, we were adding our names to the log. TFTC
With Selva Girls and dora the explorer and picking up caches on our list.
Little tricky.....

No luck today. Had a quick look not trying to look too suspicious. Had to watch out for locals passing by. Next time I'm out this way.
Went back up for the views a second time.
Awesome views
Thank you for hiding this cache Aussie Liahona

great hint helped us find this cache. this was our last cache for this trip. we didnt get it on the way to find the others at the end of this road as i thought i would give my car a rest from going down this steep hill. we took some photos and were sad to leave this place . thankyou for placing this cache and all the others here for us to enjoy
Brought a new container but the original cache was still in place. Added a new log and new rubber seal. Cache is here waiting.
Cheers and happy caching!

DNA but if the cache was on the sign, the sign has been hit by a truck so it could have been dislodged. Good luck everyone.
On a bit of a mission from the sunny coast to take advantage of this beautiful weather and thought id do a trip to Tamborine Mountain considering I don't remember the last time I visited...
Not having a plan in place besides for doing the first search coming of the motorway this one came up..
Taking a detour off the main road, I ventured up this very steep slope..
This was a super quick find with nice views..
Thanks for showing me this section of the Goldie!

You're not wrong about the steep climb to access these caches . Switched to manual and we made it ok. At GZ I took a photo through the trees and found a cache. Tftc
I didn't realise that the road would get even steeper! Great views, I hope my car survives its workout!

Found the nice neat hide with E(: whilst in the area today after having raced to nab a nearby FTF opportunity, thanks Aussie Liahona and TFTC 
Just when I thought the views were amazing, here we are at an even higher view! The cache was quickly found and tucked back into place, and I was off to explore more of the area.
Thanks Aussie Liahona.
Thanks Aussie Liahona.
I do love the views along this road! Who put all these trees here though? 
The cache was found quickly in a likely location while on the hunt with ViKoCZ. After leaving our marks in the log we replaced the beasty as it had been found.

Mr Scatts made the find before I even got out of the car. Nice quick find . TFTC
After a few adventures with teamdfl, Brother Colin, barbbowman, FastEd59, bubba89 and Slammer1989 this morning, I've caught up with T-Tech again, and we are grabbing a few caches that the others have already done, on our way to an Event on the Gold Cast this afternoon.
GZ was obvious, but the hide was sneaky. T-Tech did the finding here. TFTC, Aussie Liahona.

Maybe it's there, maybe it's not. We'll disable the cache for the time being so no-one wastes their time.
Thanks for the cache. Definitely nice views up here!
Cache in good condition.

We had a set amount of caches to find today with SPECIFIC requirements and Team Benders had already found one of the ones on the list, so we had to find a replacement cache for them. We spotted this one en route, so we chose it as the replacement cache for them on our challenge run. When we arrived we headed to the obvious spot and there it was, nice easy one, Team Benders and I spotted it at the same time and I managed to get it, unusual for short little me. TFTC! - Think Nurseyjulie spotted a Bunnings nearby! Things you see and do while the others are finding the cache/signing the log! Another GREAT view!
Out geocaching with geoson & friends today. Great day with plenty of laughs & finds. Thanks for a fun filled day. Beautiful area on the northern Gold Coast. TFTC
Early start for our unique difficulty terrain challenge day of 25 caches and this was the eighteenth one today.
Parked near the location and headed to GZ.
The answer is yes very but the views are beautiful of the coast.
I located the cache and another geocacher grabbed it.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Aussie Liahona
All good with this cache

An opportunity to complete a D/T challenge in the Coomera area with RoddyC, Team Benders, King-fisher8, Jackxena62 and Sezzz.
Another spectacular view from this spot. I could see Bunnings! TFTC Aussie Liahona

Out for a great afternoon of caching and checking out the views and scenery. All caches are well kept. TFTC Aussie Liahona.
More fog, rain and trees, it was the wrong day to be getting a view. This cache log reminded us of the old slap bands of the eighties, just when you think they're flat to sign they spring into a coil but with the non-stop rain we were grateful to all the waterproof log providers. TFTC Aussie Liahona.
