Found. Aussie Liahona, thank you so much for placing it for everyone to enjoy and highlighting this area.
Took us an awkwardly long time with lots of traffic driving by but we got there in the end 
Nice quick find here with MrMagoo72, our daughter and partner. Located in the first place I looked, which was a relief after we failed to find the drive-em crazy cache up the road. Signed the new log sheet with the pencil that was in the cache container. TFTC.
Found with MacBayMeri etc today on our way back to daughter's house from the movies. Quick find in a place we've often found similar containers. Nice fresh container and logsheet. TFTC.
Coordinates changed from:S 28 1.767 E 153 22.765Coordinates changed to:S 28 1.768 E 153 22.769Distance from original: 22.2 feet or 6.8 meters.Moved the cache slightly and given new co-ordinates.
Cache has been moved slightly. After several thefts of the more expensive cache here its now a cheaper variety so not as much fun. Cheers and happy caching!
Don't quite know how this could have gone walkabout.Will replace as soon as possible.Sorry for any inconvenience.Cheers and happy caching!
Checked every single nut and bolt, no luck!! Followed other hints, photos from before dont think its there anymore.
I really hate to mark a DNF but this has me stumped, searched for a while with no luckI will check back in and see if anyone else finds it and I'll come back for another look
An quick find this morning at GZ. The local birds were very friendly and kept me company while doing logging duties, thanks.
A quick find on a lovely evening. We just moved into the area so master Q and I went for a walk to do a cache

Great hide, took me a good minute
It’s in great condition too, and perfectly matches its surroundings

This sad face finally smiles! I was looking in the wrong spot (gz had me metres away so I was stumped), Tftc!!
Found with the geowife SamanthaRogers. Photo sent to co as we had left the pen behind in the hotel
Gotcha! TFTC
Found with the Geohusband @Nosmada
Photo has been sent to CO as proof that its been found. We were unable to sign the log as somebody forgot the pen.

It might be because it’s night time, but I’ve checked every little nook n cranny for a sticky nut 
will find another time, hopefully not missing again

Haha, thanks for the nod of confidence Aussie Liahona, but I'm certainly human, and I've missed a few before where I've logged DNFs and there have been subsequent finds
In saying that, I do suspect that this one may need a check though.

After some newbies finding then DavidWazza was a no find. If he didn't find it then it must be missing. Will disable until we replace it soon.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

We had a good idea of what we were looking for, but after a good search we didn't find it.
Today, jesswrigley and I took a drive south to the Gold Coast to catch up with family. Our initial destination was Carrara Markets, taking an opportunity to find a few local geocaches before and after our shopping expedition. It was then a catch-up with family for lunch, before making the long drive back to Brisbane.
After visiting the markets nearby, we took a drive to see if we could find this cache. I strongly suspected what this cache could be, and a few past spoiler photos seemed to confirm that. However despite my suspicions, I took a detailed search along the structure, looking from various angles and inspecting all materials, but alas, no cache was forthcoming. It was odd not to have found this cache today, so will keep this cache on watch. Thanks anyway Nottinghamers for the cache placement, and Aussie Liahona for its ongoing maintenance.

Pretty sure we were on the right track, but couldn't manage to loosen any potential hiding spots
Stopped to check on this one today following a couple of DNF’s. I was pleased to see the cache is still in place and is waiting for the next geocacher. There is still plenty of room on the back of the log.
Cheers and happy caching!

There have been some works done in the area. Not sure if it is still there or we just missed it. Looked twice
Yep it is what I thought it would be, just took a while. Here for one night stay on a corporate team building exercise. Enough time to find the nearby geocache.
This was so much fun! Out for a day on the bikes with new GeoFriends and GeoCurious friends we found both of these cool caches. TFTC!
I arrived at the GZ and instantly saw something was off.
Low and behold, it was the cache. All is well and it was a smart hide.

First attempt I couldn't see so Iwent off to find Drive em crazy. Came back to this one and quickly spotted it hiding behind one of its real cousins. SL. Coords are good as is the log. Thanks Nottinghamers
At the coast for the weekend with Candymae82 grabbing a few caches here and there in-between our planned activities. We located the sticky nut and left our mark. Tftc
Staying at the resort near by do of course had to grab these when we were heading down the road. This was a quick easy find. Although it was super busy on the road so was very mindfulof the muggles. Long weekend and everyone was out and about.
TYFTC It was a genius hide loved the idea of what the cache is if I did not have my head SCRWED on we might not of been able to find it
TFTC. Log is dry. My favourite type of cache camo. Back in the game after a 4 year break. This was the final cache in a 13km run-walk loop from my hotel. Looking forward to tomorrow morning’s outing to find more in this local area.
Our first geocaching and we found it! Very happy with ourselves Leo and Hollie
Could not find it yesterday but another look today and success. Nice hide.
Day 3 of a trip to the Gold Coast with Barb2e. Today it’s challenges and other interesting ones and quick pick up. And another fabulous day to be out and about. TFTC Nottinghamers

Day 3 of our trip to QLD and today Joolay and I are after the challenges near the airport. Expecting to be attacked by mossies so hopefully we are prepared enough. Found this time on our way out - pays to be more thorough in a search. Tftc
