Hi lochb,
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm 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, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Our second visit here, and no change. Still couldn't find it. Our thanks anyway to lochb.
Thought hint was pretty clear and looked in every crevice. Quite a few wrappers. Will try again another day.
Even with all the hints and photo’s we don’t find it.
I think it’s been muggled. There is no berocca container anywhere.
Every stone in the area got turned over and all the leaf litter got shovelled out of every nook and cranny

**Found** This was the third and final instalment of tonight’s cheeky adventure with ma bestie. This particular cache was quite tricky to find, and I was very surprised at the level of detail the hiders went to, even buying some new items to replenish the old used ones! I had seen a lot of people on here earlier who were unable to find it, and I just wanted to leave a parting note to say that it is still there! Just trust your instincts, and look at the map very closely, because the waypoint isn’t too far off !
As I was nearby doing a lab cache waypoint. I headed over to GZ for this cache and made a quick find. TFTC
Day 4, Hervey Bay.
A bit of a late start today, maybe up to late last night.
My haul for today was 20 finds. The breakdown of caches is. 8 traditional, earthcache, letterbox and 2 adventure labs with 10 waypoints.
We also meet up with a friend of mine for couple of hours. We had a good chat.
Good day was had. My son did but of Pokémon so he was happy.
Sorry for the generic log.
Then back to Maryborough for some sleep.

We've hidden a new container as the old container seems to be broken/gone. No longer a fake rock, but hidden under a rock. The container is now a barocca tube.
I did not find this anywhere, looked for about 15 mins and seen the hint but I could still not find.
Finally found this 2nd try. Our Ethan thought it was rubbish and chucked it near our car. I then realised with comments that the rubbish was the cache. Plastic zip lock bag
We had a good look but lots of leaf litter and a discarded dirty nappy was all we found here.
Took us a little while to find it! It's our very first geocache adventure
A ziploc bag rolled up. Lots of leaf litter around. We were looking for a fake rock
28/6/21 Staying in Hervey Bay catching up with my Parents who have travelled here for a visit. I am on holidays from Mackay. Beautiful sunny day today. TFTC SL
this cache is a testament to a good hide, with so many logs and a long lifetime, to us this means you have chosen a top spot for your cache. Being a Saturday we were fortunate that we were the only car in the car park and by chance we had parked nearly on top of the cache. We had come here to complete one of the waypoints for the AL cache and this one was a bonus for us. SL TFTC
Found. No container, just plastic bag. Tftc. Lovely day in the bay for a walk and geocaching.
TFTC. We have been staying in Maryborough and most of our caching has been in that area. Today we decided to take a trio down to Hervey Bay for some caching. We had done a lot of caches in Hervey Bay on our last trip a few years ago. We followed the coast from Point Vernon down to Pialba and just a bit further. We picked up quite a few caches that have been placed since our last visit.
Cache could use some maintenance. No container anymore just a double plastic bag. Sorry we did not have a spare container onboard.

We did end up finding it with a lot of struggle, but it was no longer in a container and the plastic bag was wet. Needs repair.
We were able to get a park close to GZ and a combination of accurate coordinates and good description and hint had as the cache very quickly. Unfortunately the container is broken. Somebody has put the broken cache in a plastic bag and the log is dry and in a good condition.
Needs maintenance the original cache is broken...signed and left in plastic bag.
Found but the fake rock is broken. It was in the plastic bag. Wet replaces with another bag for protection.
Catching up with late logs
We were In Queensland for the Dayboro mega and heading north to Bundaberg to hopefully find a little bit better weather than what we have had and hopefully grabbing a cache or two along the way.
As this was close and sounded interesting we wandered off to take a look but unfortunately there was a family playing nearby so we went off and completed the nearby lab before returning and happily they had left by then leaving us free to search. This was good as it took us quite awhile to locate this one and we were surprised when we did as there was no container just a log in a zip lock bag and even more surprising the log book was drier than some we have found in really good containers. Sometimes you just can't pick it. We added our name to the log before continuing on.
Thanks lochb for the cche.

Found a plastic bag and paper but that’s it? Pretty sure it used to have something else but it’s pretty cool it led us to this part of town we don’t get to much!

I simply could not leave my finds for the day sitting on 13. I needed to find just one more cache. And this one was just around the corner. TFTC

Two years ago this was missing. Today there was a log in a ziplock bag and nothing else. Added a container to house the ziplock and log sheet and replaced where found in a likely spot. Thankyou for bringing us here. DNF avenged!
Might needs checking out. Was not hidden, laying around like a bag of rubbish.
Collecting a few finds after dinner today.
Spotted this one quickly
Thank you for hiding this geocache and keeping me entertained lochb and lochb's geomum

At first I found a fake rock but it is very broken. I moved on a little further and found a log in a zip log bag. I signed that put it under the broken cache. Lovely area but a shame the cache has been broken
We decided to come here for 2 nights and spend a day caching before heading to Kingfisher Bay resort tomorrow. Beautiful weather but we were hoping it would be a bit cooler!!!
Our last for the day - I think!!!
Thanks lochb and lochb’s geomum for the cache

Hey! This is the first geocache I have found and now I’m hooked! I found it crammed into a crevice in the rocks surrounding the car park, happy hunting!
We arrived at GZ and chose a very good parking spot very close to the coordinates. Thank you for the hint, as finding Geocaches in amongst rocks is often a huge challenge for us.
At GZ we were greeted by a very familiar container, although it really looks like the lawnmower has ridden over this and smashed it totally. We have replaced the log paper, put the bits of plastic back together and put the log paper into another plastic bag. This one will definitely need some maintenance in order to last the distance.
Thanks for bringing us to this location.

TFTC! Went to find this one in the park, after finding other caches nearby. Had read a previous log and when I got to GZ, realised there was part of the cache broken, lying on the ground. Walked away and was going to log as a DNF! However it then struck me, that it was a cache in a cache. So found cache, eventually removed log and signed. I then placed the broke part over the top to conceal hide it even more.
TFTC maybe the rock is broken , I could not find all the part ? Logbook is full managed to squeeze my name down the side
Found quite quickly but can easily be lost in all the leaf litter.
The log is totally full and needs replacing. Sorry we were on foot today and had no supplies with us.
