This one is definitely missing. We haven't been active cachers for quite a while now so we will Archive this so others may hide a cache in this great location.

DNF 6/11/21 - going to try again as we are new to this. LynAl

Failed on second attempt.. to many people about.. hopefully we will be third time lucky

Beautiful place for a cache

Tried to have a look but too many people around.. will try again tomorrow

After being here three times before I finally got it!! Clever hide! Dogs enjoyed a fun beach play.

Out bike riding with the geokids, thought we would pick up a cache or two on the way.

What a beautiful spot for a cache! No muggles around, so had free reign to search. Luckily we had come across a similar cache some time ago, so knew what to look for. A quick find and soon had our name on the log. Thanks for bringing us to this spot, definitely deserves a favourite from us!

What a lovely spot for a cache. Thankyou

A superb cache. Last time muggles abounded but today it’s just me and the ocean. Favourite point from me. TFTC

Too many muggles enjoying the view so I made no attempt. But It is a beautiful spot for a stop.

Out for the morning on the Sunny coast picking up some solved puzzles and any others along the way.

I've been here a couple of times and it was always too popular with muggles to search. Today I had the place to myself and a find was made after a bit of searching.

Thanks Jumpedin2it for giving us a reason to visit.

A fun day out exploring the area with Davidwazza! TFTC!

Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I headed to Caloundra to attend the community celebration event. After the dismal rainy weather in the morning and attending St Lucia parkrun, we departed in the late morning to arrive, which was hampered by highway congestion. After the event, we explored the area and did a few coastal walks between rain showers, and then followed the *Discover Caloundra* Adventure Lab. A nice area with great beaches and interesting history, that I'm sure we will return to in the upcoming months again.

The rain had subsided by the time that we parked nearby and walked to this lookout platform. A muggle had timed his departure just as we arrived, which allowed a safe search for this cache. Within a few minutes, I had found the cache, and the cache container and logbook were in good shape. A nice cache construction camouflaged and hidden away! Thanks Jumpedin2it for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

A lovely wander around the area this morning picking up some Wonder caches. I think the on/off showers kept the muggles away until I had signed the log and replaced the cache as found. I beautiful place to sit and ponder! Thanks Jumpedin2it for a great cache!

LTF

Resident muggle refused to move.

Great cache

Last cache for the day and what a gem. Love the effort put in. Stayed at GZ for a good while to watch the kite surfers in action. TFTC.

Up this way visiting friends when I was given permission to go find a cache or three... this was my first stop... pretty spectacular spot... even on an overcast day... thanks for bringing me here today... I had the place to myself which made this a quick find... tftc...

A relatively easy find once the muggles had moved on. I luckily had an appropriate tool to remove log. Lovely lookout. Tftc

Quick found
Great view breeze too

Found it! Good hide!

One of the great things about a cache with a location like this is when you know you can't find it at least you can capture some great photos. I looked everywhere, I even stayed when 4 high school students came and hung around. They were polite but appeared to prefer that I wasn't there. I reassured a granny with her grandaughter that I was OK. when she saw me siiting on the deck and surreptitiously looking under and over. So, I was prepared to leave empty handed after one last look.
Oh, very clever! All is well with the cache.
Thanks Jumpedin2it

Found it with TBU1BIKESU. TFTC

A visit to the sunshine coast! Lovely area!

A fav point for the awesome hide!

Tftc

Possibly the best view ever from a cache. Had to spend a few minutes loitering to avoid any muggles interfering but in the end managed to sneak it out. TFTC

To celebrate Geokirky finishing her thesis, I thought it would be nice to take her up the Coast for some lunch and a bit of caching. This cache did not take to much time to find, while sitting down seeing the view.

In the area today for a spot of caching to celebrate finishing my degree, decided to take a walk along the beach path. Located this one on the map. Was a little tricky as some muggles had set in to enjoy the view. Lucky I had geohubby with me so that we could give the 'happy tourist couple' impression. Geohubby was sneaky and managed to grab this one from its hidey place. I was able to get the scroll out (just! - a squeezy tool to do this might be handy) and log the find. Thanks for a great view!

Seem some beautiful construction caches today and this one was no different tok is a little while to find but enjoyed the end result unfortunately we couldn’t get the log out as it had gotten a little mushy but we took some pics and headed off TFTC and thanks for brings us here the geodog had a great time

No luck today. Muggles arrived to take in the scenery just as I began my search.

A beauty! Very well disguised, but I have seen these before.

Nice 1

Thanks for this one. Dropped the log could not reached it. So I improvised with some paper in wallet and replaced it. All is good with this clever hide. Tftc

A quiet night made this a quick find. Clever hide and a well put together cache so a FP from me. TFTC

Found at 10:08:00 AM

Camping at Dickies Beach and went for a wander to find a cache. Skipped out on the first one given the recent DNF's a stopped here instead. Cache was in the first place I looked. After a poke with the pen the log came out easily. Too easily in fact as it went down between the floorboards, Managed to retrieve it easily enough.

Thanks Jumpedin2it

Our first find in Australia. The first of many hopefully

A clever little hide, deserving of a rare Quokka FAV point. TFTH.

A pretty quick find by Mrs Beetle here. Think Mr Beetle was a bit distracted by the muggles on the beach.
There were muggles aplenty in the area but none on the actual platform which helped.
And dogs, everywhere we rode today there were dogs. Here there were plenty enjoying the water.
Thanks, and a favourite point from us for the construction here.

Rolling upto this nice lookout today, i got lucky as sunshine58 had done the hard work sometime before, and with a loitering ma an' kids it was a good thing too.
Then i dropped the log and had to go scrounge around for it, embarrassingly. Muppet that i am. Oh well, refound signed and rehid, we rolled on outta there.
Thanks jumpedintoit for a great urban hide beachside.

Teeny tiny log! Took a while to find this. It’s “aged” well and adds to its camo.

Another short stroll today.
This time out Dicky Beach way
And here at the lookout where muggles abound,
I found this cache while hanging around

A sneaky hide,
that's for sure !!
Even with muggles by side !! [:o]
We want more [^]

Fave dance for this one

Heute war mal ein entspannter Tag am Strand angesagt. Danach noch ein paar Caches für den Tag. Ein schneller Fund.

Nach dem ausgiebigen Strandtag und dem Baden im Meer. Danke an den Betreiber für die schön vielen Wellen.

We found ourselves having to make a trip up to the Sunshine Coast today, and with the Creation Carnival promotion by Geocaching HQ, we decided to target a few caches with high favourite points allocated to gain the various souvenirs

We located this cache easily enough and with our name added to the log book, we continued on our way

Thank you Jumpedin2it for placing the cache and for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

Up from Brisbane for the weekend with some muggle friends and I said let's go for a walk and find some caches on the way. Our first was a dnf and at gz here we read the nice tribute sign,enjoyed the view and it was my muggle friend who spotted this tricky hide. Lucky I brought a tool to extract. Love this cache. Thankyou for taking us here and for placing this cache here for us to enjoy. Fp from me

Took a few attempts but we finally found a quiet day to capture this cache
Tftc

fun hide! After tapping out all the ants (!!!) signed and replaced log. NB no special tool required if you BYO freshly sharpened pencil to sign log

This is a great look out area, and I know because we spent about 20 minutes waiting for the muggles to leave

Once gone, the cache was found quickly, a sneaky little hide.

Thanks

Didn't take too long, but was not a quick easy find either.

This was out third attempt. Success at last

While staying at Elimbah we have been meandering up and down the coast finding caches including this one. Nice hide in a good location. Thankyou Jumpedin2it for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area

Tricky need a tool to get log out.

Yey we found it!! Great cache. We’d almost given up but then we found it. TFTC!!

Greeting from a couple of UK geocachers
We are having a great time on Dicky beach 1st find today.
Lovely view and interesting plaque.
log signed and dipped our trackables for mileage
thank you from the cache. HopsNGrapes and Pilfus.

Found the lil beastie easy ad signed the log EP

Beautiful spot to remember someone....

TFTC

We were here back in January and could not find it as it was missing. Today it was a quick find as we knew where it was supposed to be from our last visit. Did not need an extraction tool - to those who couldn't extract the log to sign it - a gentle knock on the bench will release the log.

A quick find on a night walk. Love these kind of hides well done! Tftc

Very nice hide TFTC

Nice hide! Found this one pretty quickly due to seeing a similar one in NSW. Couldn't sign log as we didn't have a tool to extract it.

Quick find by Borgling, at 11pm on a Tuesday night.
Love this style of container, thanks for putting the effort in to create it. Unfortunately we didn't have anything resembling the right extraction tool so didn't get to sign the log.

Cheers!

Finally found it

Found at last.Hooray! I have looked for this cache for ages. Tftc

Found ages ago but seems that this didn't log my find

This cache is ready to go again. Hopefully it will survive for another five years!!

This cache will be back. We want to replace it exactly how it was. We have ordered some bits online and they are on a slow boat from China!!! We will get this back online as soon as we can. Thanks.

Spent quite some time looking and came up with nothing although we had a good idea what we were looking for. Think this one is perhaps missing.

This one has disappeared. Will work to get a replacement ASAP.

Sigh, no luck for this Canadian team... but we hope to return for a second try. Thanks for bringing us to this beautiful location!

Had a thorough search but stopped when muggles arrived! Next time!

Mugglers all over the place but we tried to search with style..still could not find it.

We are nomads. Having left Perth WA in February 2014 we now live in our caravan and go wherever the will or caches take us.

Staying a few days in Maroochydore, Today we had some shopping to do towards Caloundra so cached around there. Some great locations we were shown thanks to Geocaching.

TFTC Jumpedin2it

Nice hide. Log looks too fragile to attempt to write on

Took advantage of a walk on the beach in between showers, nice little lookout and rustic little cache.
Log almost full.
A favorite from me and

TFTC

Nice hide TFTC

One of my favourite caches, awesome find

Found this one during my holidays in Australia. TFTC, Jenny_pet from Germany.

We were here a few months ago, couldn't tackle this due to a surf event.
Easy and quick find today.
Beautiful spot.

#4440. I flew over to Brisbane from New Zealand on Friday and spent two nights in Caloundra. Todays mission was to find a few of the nearby caches before driving south to Brisbane. A very busy beach so had to park miles away (slight exaggeration). Reached the viewing platform as muggles were departing. After a minute of looking around I spied an object of interest and yep its the cache. Had just finished signing the log when a friendly local turned up. So had a chat for a while and finally the chance to return the cache. Lovely beach on a hot summer-like day (at least for a kiwi). Thanks for hiding the cache here jumpedin2it.

Note Wellington NZ is hosting the "Wellington Geocaching Event 2018" on 21-22 October 2018. Hope to see some Australian cachers over there and give it a chance to become a Mega.

Muggles to the left of me and Muggles to the right of me - what to do?
Then they all left and I could make my search, cache in hand, log signed and cache quickly replaced.
TFTC

Found with the tough mothers back in the December '16

Found with bennyboppers and jemillalucy after dinner nearby, it was a fairly quick find. Tftc

Found with lisylou and jemilucy on our scrapping weekend tftc

found today while having a look around Caloundra- TFTC

Found with Kaspiaro and our nongeo friend Ted after visiting my most favourite beach on the world - Currimundi. Thank you

We founded during the trip Currimundi with Ted!Thanks

Located luckily after only a couple of minutes . Log extraction took some effort but got there. Great spot thanks.

That was a tricky one, took us awhile but we got there. Made a friend along the way too. TFTC

I would have given up if I hadn't run onto the cutebutmental duo. A tough one. We added a log, as the earlier one has been jammed right up the back. TftC.

Looked here and there and finally came up trumps. Wonderful view. Thanks Jumpedin2it.

Perfect day to sit and admire the gorgeous view whilst signing the log. Surprised to have no company here today. Cache was found safe and dry. TFTC, Jumpedin2it.

Found it

Had a great morning riding my bike around this beautiful part of the world. Log came out easily and actually fell out when I went to put it back so had a bit of scrambling to do. What a sneaky hide and what a beautiful spot. Thanks for bringing me here.

Wet and stuck didnt want to damage it screwing it out. Very cool camo. Would have taken a bit to bore that out. Tftc jumpedin2it

What a great geocache and beautiful location. TFTC

Tftc. Could not sign log due to full and wet log. Took photo.

We parked near GZ and walked over.Their were many muggles walking about today, so extreme stealth was required . When the timing was right, the cache was discovered in the first place we looked . Thanks for the cache Jumpendin2it, enjoyed finding this sneaky hide . TFTC!!!

What a sneaky cache I was sure that I had looked there but Waz comes along and looks as well but came up with the goods bit hard to write on but managed a spot on the back tftc

A magnificent spot and a tricky hide. It needs drying out but we didnt have much time.

I waited and waited for muggles at GZ to leave, but my patience ran out.
Will come back next weekend.
