No luck for us here either. Thought we would check it out but no big yellow thing & the living thing may have recently been removed? Might need to be checked out.
Sorry everyone, but after many happy finds, I regret to say that the large living thing (tree) has been removed by Council (I suspect) and thus Black Swan has no home.
We will do our best to find a new home nearby soon.

Curse you little old lady and your womans weekly magazine! Might have to try this one at night 
Found after a nice rump and rib meal with M,A&M. Nice spot to sit and take in the ocean breeze.
Found with us3scouts while out to get fish and chips for tea. Container is missing a lid. A little cool to be sitting here tonight. TFTC hermes24.
Found with seirra1 while in the area to purchase some fish and chips for dinner. As it was late in the day, there weren't many muggles around and we sat on the seat to retrieve the cache and sign the container. The container was missing its lid but the contents were quite dry and we added our names to the finder's list. I used to bring my son here often when he was quite young and we would paddle in the water, build sand castles and collect shells. Thanks for bringing me back here to reflect on those special memories. Thanks for the cache hermes24.
Great location - was so very busy today! The descriptions are spot on, love the bugs!
Oh and some of the paper has been damaged with weather - needs fixing.

Thanks for some fine hunting today. My 2015 Oz trip was very fruitful. indeed. TFTC.
Nice place to relax. Had to wait for muggles sitting on the seat to leave. Log book is wet and it really needs a new container.
We had to wait till all the muggles were gone but after that we found it pretty fast.
Logbook is up for replacement but we could write our name down

On our trip trough Australia with the hole family we looked also for some caches. They often showed us places we would never had discovered. Thanks a lot to the all the people who care about this lovely hobby
.
Bevor I start for the caches in the area, the hole family made a swim with heavy waves
. A really lovely beach! So I had to go by my self to gather the caches. Tooks me a time to collect these caches. They are not very near, so it took me 10km to make this round 
.
Greetings from switzerland.
Nice place here.

After having an amazing seafood buffet with my friend over at the novotel, she decided she wanted to go and find some geocaches on the way home.
I had attempted this cache a few weeks ago with the very same friend, although due to the number of muggles around we had to give it a miss. However this time there was nobody around, and so i knew it would be a lot easier to make the find. My friend ended up making the find, before i even arrived at the GZ. TFTC

Lived here for 7 years. First trip back as a cacher. My first find on the Sunny Coast. Muggles galore but used the geo-bub as a decoy. TFTC
Beautiful spot. ...not too many people around so we were able to make a nice quick grab. Found with Egg Zachary. TFTC!!
Nice easy find in a beautiful spot. Just waiting for the perfect opportunity to replace this cache
Arrived at GZ had to wait until muggle had finished his cigarette, I then got into position and soon had cache in hand. TFTC 
Third time we've attempted this one, every other time muggles prevented us from getting near enough to have a look. This rainy mid week night gave us the clear shot we needed. We had already figured out where we needed to look so soon had cache in hand.

We were all getting ready to go to the beach but we had to make a quick find first!
A quick find with family and friends before going for a swim. A great way to spend Australia Day. Tftc
Off to the beach to celebrate Australia Day with family and friends. A nice quick cache before our swim.
Found with bennyboppers, misssusan and the geokids. Bennyboppers and I sauntered over for a quick find, but we couldn't spot it, misssusan came over and said there it is, not so hard after all but I was not looking in the right direction. Tftc
Found with my family and friends on a day out to Nambour and the coast. This would be my favourite spot for the day as we enjoyed a swim at the beach on Australia Day. Tftc
Another find for the day with krazykrissy and geojaegar and lisylou missussan and geokids
Lisylou and bennyboppers had a look whilst i got changed but they were looking from the wrong side. I spotted it from the seat when I put down my bags.
Another find for the clan - followed by picnic dinner. GZ indicates the sand, but we soon treed the cache. Log signed and cache replaced. Burp!
Took non geocacher friends to this cache to introduce them to this wonderful hobby. Thanks
On my first pass there was a family enjoying ice creams so I left. An hour later just two men having a chat. Room for me to sit and cache.

Lovely spot. Easy find. We went for a walk yesterday, and sat right next to the cache without knowing it.
The third part of our 6-week-journey in Australia took us from Cairns to Brisbane and also led us to this hiding place. Till now, we had such a nice holiday visiting Sydney, Melbourne, Great Ocean Road, Uluru, Kata Tjuta, Alice Springs, Cains, Townsville, Agnes Waters and so many other interesting places – beautiful. Thanks to all the owners hiding caches for us tourists.
Thanks for hiding it

Make sure there's no one around before you get this one. Pretty hard to be discrete about it haha
Easy to find cache tried being discreet returning it. Muggle Sat on the bench commented that she had found that cache ages ago.
Had a beautiful diner at the serf club and decided to find this cache the third for the day nice easy find at 8:30pm not many people around to see me only the few colourful people that hang around at night but I made sure they we're gone before I did any thing
Blustery day at the beach so i walked on the footpath instead of the sand for a change. I have sat here so many times in the past so its great to see a cache in this magic spot. TFTC
Waited for some muggles to leave before slipping the cache out of it's hidey hole and signing the log. Now off to mooloolaba for a yummy tea at the surf club
A cooler windy day, sat a long time watching the wind surfers having fun in the breakers. Thanks hermes24 for the cache, love this area.
#594 ~ So, so cold down here at 11 o'clock at night but at least there were no muggles. TFTC hermes24

TFTC, we love this spot and sometimes we have even visited the cafe opposite. Easy, quick find and easy to spot and retrieve without anyone knowing. TNLNSL
Came to the beach for a surf but sadly it was flat so did the cache nice easy find tftc
Found this on a morning walk along the beaching during a family break this week on the sunny coast. I sat and logged our name and enjoyed the breezes as they threatened to blow me across the state. This beach is a lot quieter than its sister beach just a couple of kms south.
