Had a really good look for this cache but no luck here.
There appears to be all new concrete in the area so maybe it has gone missing .
Could the CO please check it.

On the way to Bundy with Dak07a to do some Boxing day shopping one day late. Nice easy find.
After spending the last two days in Bargara it was time to head home via Bundaberg to pick up a few more caches. This one was a very quick find with nobody around. TNLNSL TFTC
With our visitors from Adelaide, good friends Skippy and SEMIK we were delighted to be able to show them around this lovely area and to be able to find this cache. Nice hide, we enjoyed the search and find. [^][^] Thanks to fulfilled71.
After ignoring this one for a while due to being too busy I decided to look once again. It has been many months since I had been here so that's many months to think about it. I got out the car and found it in 2 seconds. Tftc
Quick find at 0740. Drove right up to GZ and parked almost on top of it. Good safe park well off the road. Soon had container in hand and signed log then returned it to where I had found it. No one around at this hour so I had the area to myself. Being a public holiday people usually sleep in. Very public place and would not want to have a go at finding this one when the oval was being used. TFTC fulfilled71
Once again in Bundy so that Pertunia can visit the doll show. This was my second cache for the day. Quick find on a quiet morning. TFTC
I arrived here on me Bundy Good Bike Ride at lunch time
So the oval was full of skool chids.
What transgressed over the next few minutes was disturbing [:o]
I searched around for the cache and soon found it
But the language coming from the skool oval was absolutely disgusting [:o]
Skool bullying is alive and well in Bundy-bloody-Berg
I could not believe the language that was greeting me ears from the mouths of the ten to twelve year olds on the skool oval [:o]
There seems little hope for the kids at this skool if they are going to imitate their parents or American TV in the playground ... surely a future of domestic violence or violent crime awaits
But the cache was good

We had no trouble finding this well hidden cache, possibly thanks to the updated co-ords. We made sure it was well rehidden.

Found it at these co ords ............. 24 51.632 152 22. 278 ... cache in good order and dry
What happened to the good old days when Fangsoki was here and would help out a CO with the co-ordinates that worked for him? If everyone knows the co-ords are out surely someone would post up the correct co-ords so I could fix it!
Had a quick look for this one a few days ago but were unable to look any longer. Realised after we got home that it had gone missing. Called in again today and found it with no trouble. TFTC SL
You were right it was gone another cache is back here now so if u need it get it quick as it will be archived if it goes again
Been and found once before with Teamlister and came back to log it myself but it was gone
Could you please check it
Could you please check it
Looks like it may be gone I will check it when over east next. I have no containers of that type to replace the hide if its gone, so will see.
With my co-ords showing in the middle of here or there I decided to leave it untill someone logs a better spot
Nice way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Like others, found co-ords out, but a think and a stroll solved all
Cheers

I felt so stupid after finding this one... I almost forgot that the toilet block was there! Silly me.
Easy to find when you stop checing the most obvious spot. Co ords were a little bit out but only a couple of metres
Second time looking this tkme daylight. Couldn't see it but waa doing a last look around then got muggled out by council workers stopping for some lunch. Didnt get tp complete my final search. Oh qell maybe next time
The joys of letting other people find cache issues. After all the clues it literally took me 1 minute to have cache in hand. Tftc
OMG another FTF, found at 12.15am. Mind you it very nearly wasn't. I got to the park and was pleased to see the table and chairs for me to sit at while I tried to suss out the situation while being inconspicuous. I did have a book & camera which helped but some of my contortions may have been not so subtle. Kept looking where I was and checking out the other thing nearby, but could not find it. Had a moment of joy when I saw a munzie & thought 'this must be where it is', however it wasn't. Although while I was sitting there thinking it through I did download the free munzie app & scanned it. Not sure what I have to do with that now but I will figure it out at a later date. Had been watching kids doing PE on the far side of the park (man I hope they didn't think I was spying on them!) and decided to give up. I was going to keep a watchlist on it for clues from the next cachers. As I started for the car I thought, hang on, I will do one last walk around before I go. You guessed it, found it almost straight away! My GPS must be out as it put me about 15m from the cache. I am just glad I found it before I left. TFTC. Left a love heart.
You might be right with the co-ords have swapped over from a android phone to an iphone at the moment which is better for munzee captures which I do a lot of, but not quite so good for locating or navigating, tried to adjust my points against the google map which I thought had me spot on to the GZ unless it is an old map being shown oh well thanks for the comment, adds to the challenge I guess. My phones point had 4 on the end of both the east and west co-ordinate instead of 0 so wondering if that was closer by your gps or not? Anyway congrats on the 2nd FTF on my caches in recent times.
Second to find , missed FTF by a few hours! Our GPS was out a bit for this cache too, nice park that the kids enjoyed, we found the Munzee here too. TFTC!
