Looks like this one has been missing for a year and hasn't been maintained or replaced. Myself and two geokids scoured the coordinate area and it is definitely not there.
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.
I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.
Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.
If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.
For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Last 7 logs are all DNFs.
Could the CO please confirm whether this cache is still here, or perhaps modify the listing.
THANKS !

Found a hole under a big rock empty. Did not find anything around it either. Muggled?
Found what looked like the perfect hidey hole at GZ, but alas no luck despite three pairs of eyes. Might be worth a check by the CO given the last number of DNFs. Nice spot though. haven't been along this track before.
3 of us looking but no luck today. Sensational views but happy, don't have to climb any more steps.
We looked in what we thought would be a very likely spot, but on reading earlier logs later it may be that we falling for the same logic that others first used.
Couldn't find this cache. The area looks like it has recently been cleared so maybe it's been moved?
This cache has been the first of 96 where there are cool swaps &. I don't have my bag!!! TFTC!
There were still a few unfound puzzles and traditional caches in the Kingston/Blackmans Bay area we had not completed so today was the day to go for a drive. Found the gold easily and signed the log. TFTC
TFTC Blind Freddies!!!
4 kids searching but we couldn't find it!Out and about with FWBS, Liked the area but con't live here. To far to the city and back. Still don't mind revisiting these areas for a cache or two. Age is starting to show can no long remember my cache finds as I use to do , must find a better way to keep track of them.
JABs.

Day #6 of our holiday to Tasmania - first time as cachers [^] , and first time with 4 kidlets in tow 
We spent the afternoon exploring and caching around Kingston. After picking up our muggle nephew from school we decided to go for a walk through Boronia Hill Reserve. After all the bush, we needed some sea; so down the road to the beach we headed. After playing at the park, we wanted to explore some more, so off for another walk along the headland here. we drove closer to the cache location (as we had already done a decent walk today!) and my, stunning views over the bay - definitely a cache-worthy location [^]
Thanks for placing one here!

Found nice and easily after taking lots of photos of the view. Thanks for the cache and the lovely, scenic walk!
After getting the FTF at a nearby cache 'Sprinkles of Sea Spray' with suzannebones we did a search and found we were already very close to this cache. We made it harder for ourselves and followed a straight line (it looked like a narrow track at first) to the cache only to find that if we'd walked up the hill a bit we could have avoided all the bush bashing, d'oh 
The cache itself was a nice easy find.
Took a pineapple sticker, left a keychain. Thanks for the cache and the great view!

Mr and Mrs Prionotes fancied a little stroll and as this cache was on the way we stopped admiring the views for long enough to find the cache. TNLNSL. TFTC.
Took geodog for a walk to get this one. Reasonably quick find once I had right side of path! Tnlnsl. A great walk
Found this cache! Did not remove anything, bud added a packet of Maltesers chocolate and a smiley face candle. TFTC 8D
A short walk for us to find GZ but did take notice of the sign showing the whole area. Like redtag suggested, one day we will do the whole walk. Great views on a perfect spring day. TFTC
Found after a short walk along the coastal track - one day should walk it all !
Thanks for the cache, blindfreddies !
Thanks for the cache, blindfreddies !
After finding Hermin we walked on until we found this one. Lovely walk and great views. Once again granddaughter claimed the prize. Thank you for the cache.
Had I been thinking like a 3 yr old we may have found this one sooner! Great cache and a lovely walking track with great views. TFTC
great place for photos. Quick find late afternoon but had to watch for muggles. TFTC.
Another lovely location for a cache!!! Dav81 and myself took our time getting to this one, we passed a muggle couple having a pow wow on the way. Luckily they were far enough away to not cause a problem. Once at GZ it only took a second to have the cache in hand.
Thanks for the cache blindfreddies

This cache was much easier second time around. Last time I searched at the end of a long days caching when it had be newly published. This time with a bit of help from consulting the logs (which there are now more of) I found it quickly.
While Daisy was down on hands and knees looking in rock cavities, Donald stood on path and exclaimed "There it is!" TFTC
Under the cover of darkness we found this fairly quickly. Dropped off the blue mermaid TB. Took a smurf.
Having found other caches in the area sometime ago, we were familiar with the elevated riverside track. We were able to park within a short distance of GZ and were soon looking for the cache. It took our GPS units a minute or two to settle down in this location but the find was soon made. Although the lid of the container was not a tight fit (not sure of the implications for wet weather), the cache and it's contents were in good condition. TFTC blindfreddies.
Given that the cache was hidden by a 3yo I made an assumption about it's location, which proved to be correct. I was surprised by the amount of foot traffic along this path. Luckily nobody can sneak up on you too quickly, so I retreived and returned the cache without being seen.
Take 2, on another drizzly day (this is summer, right?), and it took me 10 minutes of looking in the same places again before I finally checked a different spot and spied the cache.
I spent a while looking down into the bay at the rock formations in the water.
Thanks.

A pre-work stroll in the drizzle got me good views but no cache.
I felt a bit restricted searching by the people in the two houses somewhat overlooking.
I didn't want to seach above the track, as I figured that was private property (but I might be wrong), and the one obvious feature I searched below the track didn't seem to hold the cache.
Another time.

Hi blindfreddies
Went in hope of a FTF but not to be.
HotCrossBunny had made a find about an hour before and is to be congratulated on their FTF.
Made a quick find at 1701hrs.
The nice day made this walk very enjoyable and the views most appreciated.
TFTC and cheers

Found it after a illogically long search! Thanks BlindFreddies (and Isla). A rare first to find for the Bunnies
