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 holiday to Emerald to collect the geoart meant a nice square/circle route including Hervey Bay to see family for a few days
OMG. I think I have been here 4 times. Once with the kids. Once with a friend. Once while on the phone to Mallln. Today was our day. Took Miss10 about 30 seconds to have the cache in hand. Not sure why we couldn't do that the other times! So satisfying to have that frown turned upside down! Thank goodness for that!!!

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
Looked absolutely everywhere and just couldn’t find it. The hints didn’t help AT ALL, still had fun trying to find it anyway though.
Thanks. Overcast and cold weather, making the most of the holiday anyway.
Impromptu indeed as I never intended picking up too many caches while in Hervey Bay, but when I teed up lunch with an old boss and he suggested Enzo's, I figured it would be remiss of me not to drop by GZ while so close... 
Being the punctual type, I got to lunch early so took the short detour to have a look around. Muggles coming and going, but nothing that would interrupt the hunt. Although I did note the tent in the nearby bushes, which may well house a homeless person. I was quiet enough not to disturb them if that was the case.
Container came to hand quickly and I stayed nicely tucked out of view as I signed the log. All done and container back in place, it was time for a bite to eat and an ale or two to wash it down. [^]

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.
It was great to finally see sunshine especially during this walk in a very picturesque part of the country. This is the best day that we have had since we left home three weeks ago and we enjoyed the stroll along this beach front. Unfortunately we think that half of Queensland had the same idea and out of all the caches that we passed this was the only one that didn't have muggles around it. To speed things up we decoded the hint which made for a very quick find and our name was added to the log before returning everything as it was.
Thanks again for the cache.

It took 4 goes find this one. Muggles made it impossible. Once alone it was easy thanks to the hint. Tftc
Geocache has changed... the map was sending me in wrong direction. But nice find. Thanks
Busy day in Hervey Bay today. Rotana full of people. But we were able to retrieve the cache without being noticed. TFTC
Found!
Been down here once before and way too many people. Windy, rainy day is the perfect day to find this one when there is no one around!

Followed the instructions but it was found on ground. Replaced as per the hint. TFTC.
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!!! Found easily after reading the hint Thanks lochb, FifiMeow.and.son and the4star for the cache
Another beaut day out with Liz and Bruce ?? Logged a mixed bag of caches and had a nice lunch break with ?? and enjoyed the sunny day down at the bay ??
TFTC lochb ??

We did find it! it was the second of the day, but sadly the notebook inside is very wet please replace.
Found a mint container with something inside, but log paper logging because we think it's right.
GZ was muggle free because of the rain. The cache didn't reveal itself though. I felt I had an understanding of where it would be but no smiley today.
Oooh !! Lots of pesky muggles here !! [:o]
So I followed the clue to find me seat
In between muggle passings,
I managed many contortions that a yoga master would be proud of,
but to no avail !!
I didn't feel more relaxed,
nor did I find this cache
Booger !!

Found 14:19 10/8/20 after a very yummy lunch next door. Thank you lochb for the cache and bringing me to this location.
No luck for us. It is a cold rainy day so we were muggle free to look and feel freely for ages.
A few weeks back I was asked if I would like to go on a weekend caching trip chasing some target caches. With a leave passed granted, if I got all my work done at home, and seeing i would be on holidays anyways, a green light soon appeared.
The last day of our caching weekend and it was time to get a few FTF’s and clean up some loose ends I had. My first aim was to complete the newly presented Adventure lab of Hervey Bay. Then a meet up with a local CO and then chase down this one as I don’t like blue faces.
This one was missing last time I was here so am glad to see it was replaced again and is active, at least while I’m here. Thank you for replacing and with log signed and cache replaced it was off to the next target for the day.

Our first ever find, we were so excited! The hint was exactly correct but it did help find it. You DO have to bend!
My sister and I had a good look and felt around everywhere underneath. Even went on my knees but drew the line at lying down. Maybe you need arms like an orangutan? We couldn’t find!
Good hide! Instructions are a bit misleading
Need to get down fairly low - on hands and knees. Wouldn’t recommend in wet weather.
TFTC!

So after a while of thought and looking,it could only be in one place,time to get down and dirty and bingo,cache all well.TFTC
We looked for a long time but no luck. We did have a nice drink though and were inspired to go in the sea.
