Hi seirra1,

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, only to discourage people from visiting this location until this cache may be addressed.

**Please note that caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis you will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't just pop out and fix the issue,** geocache maintenance can wait. Once the acute threat of pandemic is over, I will remind you about your cache needing attention.

Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so. However, I would like to assure you I will not be archiving any caches which the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain.

I'll pass by in about another 45 days and hopefully this will all be over.

Creek flooded recently, found the location seen in previous picture but couldn't locate cache

DNF. Looks like the debris piled up from recent flooding has either buried or dislodged this cache.

Scratched around a bit but couldn't find

Looked but no luck

Hmmm tis tricky, or missing. I looked all around and poked sticks in where it could be with no luck. 20mins of scratching around like a scrub turkey and all I found was an empty snap lock bag and lots of ankle breaking holes. I checked a few previous photos and if those are any indication I was in the right place. Time for me to head off to an appointment now.

I have never seen the creek down here, very nice. TFTC

Found it! Took a while, but the picture really helped us out!

Good fun love cache.

Found it

Quick find our 2nd try thank you for the cache

Searched with my eyes only for ages then gave up. Someone has been using all the trees as a toilet. Lots of poo and paper just lying around in piles in amongst the tree roots. Wasnt gonna stick my hand in all the holes to find. Nice location... crappy DNF.

??

11:35:00 AM. As we were in town we thought a walk would be nice. The better half uncovered this one. Log signed. Thanks for the cache seirra1

Day 46 Mainland trip
Out and about caching with Tassie Trekkers around Nambour and surrounds and this was one we found. A quick find. TFTC

Caching in and around Nambour and surrounds, we picked up a few caches with Whitewebbs and this was one of them.

An easy find at GZ, cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

There is a dinosaur.

Yeah! Dinosaur! Bee hives! Homeless people everywhere! Thanks for the cache!

TFTC

Found it,map got a little lost and didn’t bring a pen,beautiful area.

In the area picking up a few caches

TFTC

What a great place! Very prehistoric . Trackable taken. Small swap left

Overnight trip to Nambour for work, staying not too far from this trail which has long been on my "go get them" list. What better way to work up appetite for work-funded meal tonight then a few hours on the cache trail. Next stop was here, and despite a bunch of muggles around the area, GZ was well placed and a good find.
Thanks Parko's (adopted by seirra1) for entertaining me at this location.
*{Overall find #6419}*

Tried to find this one when the new bridge was being built but without luck; found and enjoyed the Dino topping!

Found and log book signed

Goodies found it. Lid was off so obviously muggled. But replaced all as suppose to be.

Only found zip ties

a Short walk after the GIFF event and unfortunately this was the only one I found today. the logbook is wet but i managed to make my mark. TFTC

Quick easy find. Found with MazLor.
Wrapped log In a bag so should be nice n dry for next cachers.
Thank you for bringing me to this beautiful part of your country. Happy to see the waterdragons and some massive tree trunks.
Hi from NZ and TFTC

Thanks just letting you know the log sheet had water damage so could not sign off.

We have replaced the log as it got a bit wet. The dinosaur is still in place

THANK

Woah, cool! Great container and lovely hiding spot. What a way to start off the Dinosaur Trail!
Thank you for making this trail so much fun for the family. TFTC

Enjoying a walk around Nambour and collecting a few caches on the way. I couldn't sign the log... it is almost pulp. I have a photo of the cache contents if the CO wants to verify. TFTC

Great cache! Needs a new page to write names on though as the one in there has been soaked.

My dinosaur obsessed son absolutely loved this set of geos!! So we'll put together !! Easy find and very kid friendly

Found it. Still very wet, so could not sign log

Last one for the series. Unfortunately it was extremely Wet and soggy log which had Disintegrated into a million pieces and needs maintenance.

My 1st attempt. Not sure what to look for?

Wet log book

Our first find, so much fun. Can’t wait to find more!

Our real first find...

TFTC!

loafer

Serious maintenance needed!

Found #4 for the day a little tricky but needed to use our eyes

We couldn't access this one last time too, so this time due to other cachers saying they circumvented the bridge works, we decided to take another look. Sure enough the fence is down next to the riverbank and one can work over it and straight to the cache. Finally the series is finished!

A nice cache log a little damp. Part of the fence around the works was down so access was no problem. TFTC

Found it, thank you.

Nice find!

Pretty sure the location is within the bridge construction site so didn't find it but didn't climb in either.

Decided not to due to bridgeworks

Good find.

For the adventurous , first dinosaur find.

Too close to bridge works

Work on the bridge make this one unaccesible at this point in time

A sunny Nambour morning
So I joined a few of the locals and went for a walk along the creek
I got to within 15 metres of GZ before a fence tried to stop me in me tracks
Being a Sunday the worksite was deserted and so I snuck around the end of the fence.
No risks posed by the construction site which is well past GZ,
the big risk is slipping on the steep slope and ending up in the creek
So add a terrain point to this cache for now

Funny part was that as I wandered back to the fence,
I met one of yer typical locals who was headed the other way.
After helping her negotiate the fence she kept strolling through the construction site and across the bridge !! [:o]

TFTC.

The cache is behind a construction fence. Saw probable hiding spot at co-ordinates.

Out caching for the day with stortigirls. How could we resist a dinosaur trail. Access to this cache was a little tricky today, but we found a way. The cache was located after a short search and our names were soon in the logbook. TFTC

Out on the Sunshine Coast caching with Selva Girls today, we couldn't resist including this trail. Our first dinosaur was found after a short search, what a cute little guy! Tftc seirra1

Had to wait for a nearby muggle to leave but after he had it was a quick zip around the fence to make an easy grab. Tftc!

Thought my walk may have come to an abrupt end here as there is some maintenance work happening here and path is closed off. Well, I was within a few meters of the cache so do you think a barricade was going to stop me. Ha. (Luckily it is a weekend and no workers. Week days may prove more difficult.) Had to swing around the end of the fence which had me leaning over the cold waters below. Three paces past the fence and I had the cache in hand. Would have been very frustrating to be so close and not get it. All good with the cache thanks sierra1

austrees and austpark have combined as austreesNaustpark. This is now being logged under that username. Thanks

Geoson loved thus one seeing he loves dinos tftc

Very cute cache. Thanks

Nice hide!! TFTC

Thank you for this cache love the trail

Nice park, nice hide. TftC.

In Nambour for the day, too good an opportunity to miss finding a cache or two.
All with the cache.
TFTC seirra1

Beautiful spot in Nambour! Took us a bit longer than expected to find it simply because we were thinking too hard. Nice simple hide. Tftc!

Made it to both ends. Found cache and signed logbook. Tftc

Found it with bikesu.Tftc

A Jurassic find away from prying eyes SL: TFTC

Gotcha !!! TFTC

The Dinosaur Trail - Styracosaurus was transferred from Parko's to user seirra1

Found this cache at the end of a beautiful trail. Loved everything about this caching adventure. TFTC, because without any caches I would never have come here. And I would have missed all of this.

Found.watch out for the bees.

Cute cache. Look out for the bees. Bee removal in progress. Tftc

Had a couple of TB's in my bag and thought they could Visit this cache as I was passing by this morning,
and left a note on the logsheet .
1, TB - Australia 2016 and 2, TB - Marine Dagen 2011 Geocoin , Both Visited only...Thanks Parkos'

27/11/16
Had a nice lunch in the park by the river. So many water dragons!!!
Checked to see if there were any caches close by & as luck had it, there was one 11m away!!!
Found, signed & swapped. TFTC

As I had started the Dinosaur trail at the other end this was the last one for me. Relatively easy find. Log was full so I added a new log and signed that. TFTC Parko’s for brining me to this walk and for taking the trouble to set up all 5 caches. I am happy to give a favourite point for the work involved in all 5 of them. Fortunately I now had the walk back along the trail, and on a warm afternoon that was quite pleasant.

My daughter's studying abroad in Australia for a semester, and I came over from the US to share spring break with her. We had an epic roadtrip from the Sunshine Coast down to Sydney and back, with great geocaches serving as our tour guide. Then, we stayed on the Sunshine Coast for a long weekend.

Today my daughter was taking a scuba diving class, so I had some free time for some solo caching. I chose the Dinosaur Trail as part of today's itinerary, because I knew I'd enjoy the ability to find multiple caches from one parking spot. Driving in Australia was a challenge for me, and that was even more true because I didn't have a navigator with me today!

I started at this end of the trail, and scored a fast find. Thank you very much for hiding and maintaining this geocache, and adding to our holiday fun.

With Solving4X.

Quick to find. Cute cache near a large beehive.

TFTC 1884# out and about with sister and geo dogs had to come back for this one great series

After returning to the car, I headed for this one and got a park close by, I thought since they were not far apart I would leave the umbrella behind.

I started here and soon had the cache in hand and the log signed.

TFTC

Love the container. TFTC.

Looked for this one as our first on the trail but have up hoping the rest of the series would help.a quick find once we understood the way it worked. TFTC. Found on our great Aussie road trip as we start to head home. You might see the native bee hive high on a nearby tree.
