Good Day,

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

The local muggle came out and asked me what I was doing. She seemed worried that we were near her place. We chatted a while and found out she had done a clean up around the area. The cache looks like it's gone. Also, I'm not certain this is the best location as the woman stays at home and is extremely worried about security of her home.

Got it TFTC

Had a good look around but no smilie today we will be back soon

Couldn’t find this one the grass has been recently mowed so maybe it was taken away? Can someone please check if it’s still there?

Found it using the correct co-ords.

Coordinates are off but found it fairly easily

Arrive at gz to be spied by local muggles asking what geoboy and i were doing there we decided we would admire the pond and the local cattle behind the fence until muggles retreated quick find only to have muggles areive again asking what we were doing once again. Took longer placing cache back then finding.

Found it it is not in private property, the owner just put the wrong coords.

Thankyou for the coordinates. Much appreciated. The GCO needs to fix the location. If you are looking somewhere between the fence and the end of the road then you are in the right spot.

After reading previous logs, we knew we had to use their coords for this one. Arrived at GZ for a quick easy find and as said before, the log was soaking wet - we put a new sistema container and a new log into the existing cache for future use. Hope this is ok with the CO. TFTC Sumner Family

thanks to previous posts and not the owners we were able to locate a rather wet cache. signed and returned. tftc

Great find

Out for my daily cache and this one has been close to home and a green dot for far too long, time for that to change to a smile For any future finders please take note of the coords that Youngoldfella out up which are S27 09 535 and E153 00.689. There is no need to enter private property or a long driveway. Can owners please fix the coords as its very confusing. TFTC

I made a quick find here, thanks to a previous log which gives new coords. TFTC

We found ourselves in the area today and with a little bit of time to spare, we decided to look for a cache. We were able to find this one easily enough and with our name added to the log book, we continued on our way.

Thank you The Sumner Family for having placed the cache and for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy.

Got to the end of the road to be greeted by "the fence". Read some previous logs that stated that the cache is now nearby.
Signed a fresh piece of paper the old log is smelly mush.

Quick Find wet log ,

Too wet to sign, but found it after some looking

Thanks

Geodad cane home from mowing lawns and said "you know what time it is" and my immediate reply was "time to get a cache?" He then replied that it was actually time to give him the TV so that he could watch footy, but then replied that cache o'clock was a better time and off we went. We we're originally confused when we were arrived at GZ, but read some past logs to find our way. Scratched our name into the wet log and made our escape as the two puppies next door barked at us. Tftc

Not at the coordinates but a quick look around as far as we could go and found it quick enough.

As most have said before me, the co-ords are way out. A fun find however. reading back through the activity log proves exceptionally beneficial.

Off with our list in hand and geo puppy's in toe lovely view to this place but log needs fixing Maybe this should be a puzzle cache.
Here are some possible clues.
1. Drive to the suggested location
2. Read previous logs carefully to see why the number "300" is significant
3. Note the real GPS coords from other cachers and use them for final location.
4. Look for a bush that looks like a vine
5. Tip out the water and dry out the cache before replacing
Easy really, with a little help from previous geo friends.

Found it, thanks for the find however needs maintenance bad, log is mouldy couldn't sign, kids little disappointed, swappable items and contain are water logged.

Found it

Nice

But contents and log very wet. Thanks

But contents and log very wet. Thanks

whilst in this area, we had a look here . emptied water from the cache but logbook wet. Thanks .

Can't see a way in. Private Property sign at start of road.

Couldn't work out the access to this one and time running out so left it for another time.

Nice willy what type? Tftc

Thanks for the cache! I couldn't sign the log, it was all wet. Please replace

Wet my willy. Willy is my dog.

Found it thanks to precious Cachers. Log is still wet. Ginger Ninja added an item. Thanks for this cache, but please update it.

Found with melting meerkats, Charliee_bug & theweirdone!

Cache was full of water couldn't sign log

Found with Charliee_bugg, McCutieBumm, and theweirdone. Cache was full of water so couldn't sign the log. :'( Tftc.

Out for the day with melting meerkats, McCutieBumm & theweirdone

This cache was a good find but full of water so could not sign the log... Needs to be cleaned out and log replaced

Last time I visited here, there was a guy on his garage just across the road, and I'm sure he was wondering what this idiot was doing in the middle of nowhere poking around. Of course the coordinates were out by a mile and the hint was ambiguous, so I departed before searching for very long. Today I returned triumphantly due to great descriptions by previous finders, and with the neighbours having a sunday Sleep in, it was a, quick find, and far less awkward than last time. Log book is wet, but still writes on. Time to update the coords, there is a new estate approved for construction where the existing coords indicated. TFTC

Found it, thanks to the previous finders.

out with Queen of Egypt ...hmmmm tricky one ...almost left this ..but re read it ...TFTC

This one was a bit tricky lucky read the previous log and bingo there it was tftc

S27 09 535 and E153 00.689

PLEASE CORRECT THE CO ORDINATES.

I used S27 09 535 and E153 00.689 from a previous log, but these are also only approximate but they get you really close.

Out and about bright and early and arrived at the end of the street and parked very close to the road ends barrier. No one bout and no barking dogs. Could see the pond beyond the fence. I am glad I read the previous logs and knew the co ordinates were way out. Found the container just to the left of the barrier looking towards the pond in bushy mass close to a tree. The log was damp but still OK.

Heading down to Brisbane today so I decided to make a detour to grab a few caches on the way. Thankfully I had read the previous logs on this one and had the corrected co=ords in my GS. Looks like the CO slipped and put the digits for the easting around the wrong way, instead of the listed 869 it should be 689 which puts you pretty close to the cache.

It was nice and quiet at GZ and after a short search the cache was soon in hand. The cache and log were both wet and I let the log dry for a while while I dried out the container.

Once the log was signed all was returned as found.

A little bit of TLC by the CO is needed.

TFTC The Sumner Family

Log book, swapables and container is all wet. Please fix! tftc

Log wet coords out please fix tftc

Quick and easy find but the log book is wet and so is the swapables. Please fix also thanks to Team_DNA for the coordinates ! tftc

Got this one thank you team DNA I dont like climbing over fences lol
Tftc

I put the alternate coordinates in my GPS and headed out to this one.

At GZ spent quite sometime searching before I spotted it. A quick sign and replace just as the nearby neighbours arrived! phew!!

Thanks The Sumner Family

No luck for me with geokids today. Will try again with correct coordinates another time.

S 27° 09.535 E 153° 00.689

Out and about with team Slow Puncture, cleaning up our maps.

An afternoon adventure that was to turn into a crazy caching evening!!

We thought about jumping the fence here, (or at least one of us did) until it was pointed out, that the coords would put you IN the pond!!

We tried driving at it from different angles, until one of us read the previous logs! Dah!!

I'm reposting the correct coords for this one as it will save the same dramas.

The log book is quite damp as the container does not seem water tight in its location.

TFTC

SP were out with Angela from Team DNA, eliminating pesky green dots around this area!

As per Angela's post (and a number of previous posts), the co-ordinates are WAY out. Please us the co-ordinates posted in the logs.

We will make it easier: NO fences need to be climbed to access this cache. The cache is NOT in the nearby pond.

Staying with friend in Burpengary and happy to see lots of caches in the locality. Nice one. We found the cache after a short search.[^][^] Luckily we noticed the coords from the previous log. Thanks to The Sumner Family.

Found with Megan after a little confusion. Check past logs if you can't find it at first.

Searched for ages no luck

DNF on this one; we couldn't find any access in to where the co-ords wanted us to go.
I now see new co-ords which should be used as the correct co-ords; we will look another day.

Today's journey was about doing some inroads into the increasing numbers of unopened green boxes on the peninsula, so I swung by here for a look. Quick find once the initial confusion was replaced with the knowledge handed out in earlier logs. Quick to find yes, but at that moment a few muggle neighbours made an appearance and so I admired the view for far longer than I was expecting to. But once all clear I was able to replace and move on.

Thanks for placing this cache, The Sumner Family. Found in good condition, but truly the coords need fixing.

Lovely view cache is a bit wet tipped water out and re hide

As per numerous logs - the co-ordinates for this cache are a very long way from the actual GZ and need to be updated please. Also the container needs to be made waterproof. Thanks

The co-ordinates on this one are so far off the actual GZ it is amazing that anyone has found this cache - especially as the hint didn't match the hide either. It was only thanks to others who have logged alternative co-ords that we were able to find this. Cache owner needs to update the listed co-ords. The cache container is not waterproof either so the contents are wet and the log very damp. TNLNSL

Found Ok
Try S 27° 09.535 E 153° 00.689

Getting s bit to dark to see other than a few ducks. Nice pond though.

First find of 2014, and hopefully the first of 365 days of Geocaching! TFTC

Arrived and thought damn! Must have to go round the other street to get to the cache. Luckily read a few logs, entered fasted's coords and voila! The cache was actually right behind me. TFTC!

We had to read the logs for this cache as the GPS was way out but soon put the right coordinates in and found the cache.

Out with the lovely ladies Net88 and Lady membsec for our last day of caching for this year. The day ended up involving cleaning up my map and those few cheeky green spots here and there. I had been to this cache on a previous day but my phone had died and I was working off my very basic GPS which had no information about the cache. A few attempts at trying to get to the posted coords soon had me a little frustrated. In the end I gave up, I was certain that the land was private property and something strange was going. Later that night I was able to look at the cache page and previous logs. OH!!! So that's why I couldn't get to the cache. The coords are out just a little.

So today with my companions I was determined to make a find. We arrived in the area that best suited previous logs and started the hunt. After a small while it was apparent that if we kept on hunting with no application of some heavy duty mozzie repellent we may all need a blood transfusion. So we called out for help, a sneaky PAF later and we quickly had the cache in hand. Yay!

Thanks for the cache The Sumner Family

P.S. I think your coords may need updating Try the ones that fasted 59 posted

S 27° 09.535 E 153° 00.689

I got in contact with Nyssaflutterby to see if she wanted to come caching today, she got in touch with Lady Membsec and soon we were all in spangle and headed off for our last day of caching together before Christmas. Nyssaflutterby was in charge of where we were going today and it soon turned out to be operation clean out Nyssa's map.

The cache's coordinates need to be updated! We were standing there covered in mosquitos and failing at finding the cache so we called a previous finder and she said we were looking in the right place. We continued searching and soon the cache was spotted. We signed the logbook and the cache was replaced so we could run back to the car and away from mosquitos. Thanks for the cache Sumner Family

Got a phone call this morning asking me if I wanted to go caching, did they have to ask? No!!! Of course I did as male membsec was heading off in another direction for a different activity. Car arrived and in I jumped. I had no idea where we were going and I didn't care. So Nyssaflutterby, Net88 and Lady membsec were off for a final caching day before Christmas.

It is the silly season and we fitted in quite well today. Many fun stories to be told. This cache took us awhile to find and we needed help from a previous finder. Not too sure why the coords have not been updated, as it could affect other hiders in the future. It has to be at the end of the road but where, is it a bush or vine???? Hate the mozzies!!!

Out and about with Whint today It took some planning last night to find an area that had sufficient caches we both hadn't found. Arrived at the dead end, but quickly realised there was no way to get through, so a quick read of previous logs revealed the solution. It still took us a few minutes to make the find. TFTC, The Sumner Family.

Driving toward GZ with IolantheK and we came to a dead end... there didn't see any other way to get where we needed to be and we were still over 300 meters away from GZ... a quick look at other logs to see if anyone else had a solution and we quickly realised we were actually at GZ and two of the GPS numbers were mixed about which created confusion. All good... we set about searching all available areas and IolantheK soon came up with the cache.

Perhaps the CO should look at getting the Co-ords updated

tftc

Quick find, a bit of water inside cache, tipped it out and put back together. Log book is dry. TFTC

Foun at 0856. Like everybody else the GPS had us 300M out, but Marg read the log and we then knew that we were in the right pot and then it wasn't long before I was signing the log. TFTC>

Took a snake left a coin

Like earlier cachers I arrived at the end of the road to find that the GPS wanted me to continue but I decided to check the nearby area and soon located the cache.

I hope the nearby resident know about the cache. I would hate to live here and find strangers stopping in front of my house and running around without knowing what they are doing.

TFTC

A quick park and grab in the dark for us tonight. Never knew these roads were here, so had a geography lesson on the way! Thanks for the cache Sumner Family

2TF@0710. Parked nearby and made a quick find.
Nice view of the ponds but did not see any birdlife this morning.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks The Sumner Family All good with this cache

I also visited last night earlier than the Ftf but was by myself and couldn't see and easy way in and didn't want to walk that distance in the dark by myself so gave it up.... But I see the co-rods were incorrect so glad I gave it a miss but hit two other Ftf the same night

*FTF* @ 2109 with barbbowman

OK, I'll be the first to admit, we got a little help with this one. Got to end of road and we are about 300 metres off. Can't go that way . I wonder if there is another way in. Says it's a park and grab, so search a bit before Barb contacted CO to check. Definately a park and grab

Found at these co-ords that worked for us S 27° 09.535 E 153° 00.689. Amazing what happens with two little numbers around the wrong way. You're not the first and won't be the last
