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,

Second time I've looked for this one without success. Maybe next time. I fell bad when other people with just a few finds get it and I don't. Must be time to get some glasses.
We parked about 40 metres was exciting tracking on phone but I did lot of thorns in my side and of course my Butt
But when we found it was exciting and now we have the geocaching bug

I found this one after going into the wrong side of the park, then dodging thorns and spiderwebs to make the find! Cache is in good condition.
Thanks Couchmen
Thanks Couchmen
That was a thorny find! Not too difficult once you get released from their viney grip . Tftc
Hard to find as bush over grown with grass. But we persisted and found it after lots of scratches!
I thought that I'd give this series a bit of a go before school finished.
I did not enjoy this one. Certainly no T1.5. Prickles, thorns, rocks. It has it all.
Eventually got to the right spot. Signed the log and then as I was leaving I realised that I'd lost my glasses [:0]
Returned the 2M to GZ and began my search. First up I found someone else's glasses!!
Anybody missing a pair, get in touch.
Finally I remembered where I had first "leaned" before making the find.
Relief beyond belief. There they were. Not a good idea to lose my prescription sunglasses.
All in all a memorable cache.

Cache was found in good condition and we gratefully signed the log turning this green box into a smilie. Thanks for this great series Couchmen. Some are in play parks, some in natural land, but all took us on a nice tour of the area. Cheers and happy caching!
Junior geokid dismissed the first place we looked. After bashing bushes, senior geokid came back to the first spot and made the find. A large 8-legged guardian clinging to the cache made us all jump back into various ninja poses but he left with minimal persuasion. Quite the adventure!
Took us a while and realised we were way off and exploring in the wrong area. Took another look at the Compass and it was pretty spot on. Ended up in the first place we looked.
Had look at the area I thought it should be but my compass kept changing it's mind. Had a scratch around for a while then decided another day.
In here for a while looking in all sorts of spots. Couldn't find it. Bit thorny. Lots of lizards, some guppies in the creek. Not sure if its still here, or just couldn't find it.
Heading down to my daughters at Helensvale for Christmas and I had to stop at a friends house near here.
As I was driving past a park I thought I'd stop and check the map and sure enough there was a cache here.
Quick and easy find and cache is in good condition.

Out for early morning walk with the x-trailers. A quick find. Cache all good TFTC
Had an hour or two to spare while waiting to pick up the family from Dreamworld, so I took the opportunity to turn a few green boxes into a smiles while waiting. Thankfully the area was quite so I was able to make my way to with out any curios eyes. Once at GZ the hide hide area stood out making it a quick find.
Signed and replaced as found.
Thanks for the cache Couchman

Night Caching in the Park and Play Series at Upper Coomera with the Team Benders duo. It took us a while here, searching all over the place trying to make sense of the hint. I re-read it then did the steps literally and Viola! Discovered a TB, and dropped off another ("Te Koha (The gift)") to keep company. Even though it took a while I enjoyed this cache hunt. The weather threatened a couple of times with light misty rain, but all good in the end. Now off to find a shelter for some Dinner. Found at 7.50pm on 27th June 2015. TFTC.
Out night time caching with RoddyC.
This one was a little trickier than the last one.
It took us a while to locate and it was Mr RoddyC that made the find.
I had searched there but not well enough it seems.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Couchmen All good with this cache

While staying at a nearby motel overnight after a work course, I thought instead of watching the tube and guzzling the mini bar, I'd have a crack at some of the local caches. Managed the down bit, but the next part was more of a round and round before finding what I was searching for. All good here, left a TB to continue its journey. TFTC
Our last day at Jacob's Well, today we head towards Coomera & the last couple to find closer to camp.
Thanks for placing this cache Couchmen

This is the other one I targeted today as I couldn't locate it last time. Reassured the fallen tree wasn't the culprit, I got down and dirty today and spotted the sneaky little hide. Thanks Couchmen
Up from Canberra and found with Rapidlywild on a two week geomission around the Gold Coast and, of course, for the MEGA
So with 4 days of caching and over 100+ finds under our belts so far, we've had a great time touring around caching and seeing new places Lovely to cache in the warm QLD weather as well!
Apologies for the somewhat generic logs- it's not easy remembering every single hide so far!
Thanks very much to all of the cache owners for their hides

After a long drive from Canberra to Gold Coast, a much earned sleep was had and it was time to get back out and get some caches on the Goldy. Today was not a big day in the caching world as we were still tired from the long drive so we took our time and wandered around.
Apologies to all the cache owners for generic logs however we enjoyed the day wandering around the Upper Coomera and Surrounds.
Thanks Couchmen for placing this cache for us to make a find on

I had pulled up on the road nearby to get the clues for the power (up) multi and noticed that there was a cache nearby.
I gingerly stepped down the "path" and headed to where the GPS was pointing and, using the hint, I soon located the cache.
Then it was back on the road to find the rest of the power points.

Enjoying an early morning walk while still cool
Arrived at GZ.
Searched. Area but due to sciatica was unable to get down and dirty today as this is what appears is required to retrieve cache
Will try again at a later date
Tftc
Was able to collect clue required for multi though so not a waste of time

Following my way down, I had to look a little more closely to reach this well protected hide. There is a tree that has come down at GZ, but the cache is still accessible in a logical hiding spot. I realised I had misplaced my pen when I reached this one, so was very thankful of the pencil in the container, as I didn't need to make a return trip to the car.
Thanks Couchmen for the cache.

Clear and swampy has had a bit of flood with the down pour of rain lately don't know what to think
Couldn't find this one unfortunately, the tree has fallen down where we think It might be placed
Nice quick find in between the rain, not the easiest of the group.. Cache was guarded by the Mosquitos lol TFTC
Water from last night's rain was still flowing over the "steps" as we cautiously continued to GZ . . . but just where is GZ?? The iPhone seized up at 12m and that was the end of it's contribution. But the GPS and MrG's methodical search into dark, wet hideyholes soon produced the cache. That's a hide that won't get stumbled on by accident! TFTC Couchmen. Took Batman for C & B TB and Boba the Fett TB.
