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,

Drove up from Canberra, for a much needed holiday staying with my parents in Caloundra ... Up here for a few weeks (Christmas, and most of January
My parents didn't have any plans for this weekend/NYE so I figured I would come up for the Geocaching weekend at Widgee ... glad I did - 3 days of fun!
Arrived Friday evening, went and found lots of caches with others on Saturday and Sunday, including seeing in the new year with a little Geocaching adventure by myself (the others all went to bed early) then a few hours sleep and up again for more fun ... CITO event, and then the one over the road, before packing up, and following RoddyC, and then joined by Echocage1, to find a few caches on the way to Gympie, then a few more IN Gympie, then some caching with Echocage1 while waiting for dark, when we met up with RoddyC again for a night cache before I finally headed back for a very late (reheated dinner at my parents place - lol
My first DNF for the year (already!?!!! lol) ... we looked here, there, and probably not quite everywhere ... If it had just been me here, I may have widened my search, and kept at it for longer, because I am sure I was missing something obvious (that or we were not quite looking in the right place?) but the others wanted to keep going to find the multi, and some others on their list, and I wanted to go with them - lol
I guess I will have to come back up here again one day ... year ... whenever ...

We came upon your cache, The Dook, after the Geocaching for Newbies Event at Widgee. We are in the company of Aykayem.
Too slippery for us today.

We found this cache easily as it was exposed on the ground so we made sure it was well covered when we replaced it.

I was in the area today with Orange Crew and as we had a little time on our hands we decided to grab a couple of caches. The caches in this area was targetted.
After pulling the motor car up at a suitable location we made our way over to GZ and soon had the cache in hand.
The log was signed and returned to the cache and the cache replaced exactly as found.
All is good with this cache.
Find #586.

We found it! Our first find out of 3 attempts in the area. The kids were so happy. Items exchanged
Got covered in spider web for my quest. Container a little damp inside but log book dry in bag.
I had headed out this way to have a look at the nearby multi caches. I had a mixed result with them. No worries with this one though.
A nice quick find here.

Went and checked up on the cache and it looks ok!
Also dropped off my own Travel Bug. First ever of my own!

Love a great quick find. Just around the corner from the parentals place too, so even better! Took TB. TFTC!
I was once again up in the Gympie region for work and it was about lunch time again... You know what that means, GEOCACHING TIME! With the weather being as perfect as it was, how could one not get out and find a few caches!
So I grabbed something quick from in town for lunch and made my way to the Southside. This area was chosen as there were few caches over there that I could fill in some time with.
I parked the car a little further up the road and as the weather was just perfect, went for a mid-afternoon walk. As I was about 80mtrs off GZ I spotted the cache... "Well, that was a fast find, it stands out like dogs _____!", I thought to myself. After a quick look through the cache, I added my name to the list of Geocachers before me and placed everything back as found.
Thanks for the cache The Dook. Everything is in good order.

A nice plantation of trees and drove down to GZ.
A quick find was made and cache placed back where found.

Went to maintain my cache today and found "Joy to the World" inside.

It certainly made me joyful to find my second travel bug.
I will move it along soon.

We were coming to Gympie today to find the new ones here I needed and then on to Boreen Point to maintain our hides there. GPSr wanted me to go a way I did not recognise so I just ignored it and went my way and was soon close to GZ.
Light rain so I parked on the side road and walked the short distance to GZ. Quick find. TN L trackable SL

I need to offer my most sincere apologies to the CO and those who came after me. Cleaning out the caching bag I realised I was staring at the log book for this cache. I have updated it and put it back even though it has been replaced so the records are still there. Once again very sorry and will be more on the ball in future.
That's fine we all make mistakes at some point. I'm just glad we have that log book back now
Finally got the chance to drop of this Trackable
Uluru Travel Bug
http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?tracker=0WQZG6
Anyway, I had a quick look at the map and it hasn't gotten to Uluru yet (came from Germany).
If you look at the picture, there was originally a container attached to be filled with some dirt and rocks from Uluru but the container must have been lost along the way some how.
If you want to replace the container with something similar to the original, I'm sure it would be appreciated.
FTF it gets to send it on its way to ULURU.
Thanks

Out with IolantheK & Brother Colin who was trying to build their numbers to before they both reached significant milestones. IolantheK @ 5000 and Brother Colin @ 7000. I came along to transport, cheer on and assist where possible [^]
Caching today in the heat wasn't easy
Well this is it the Milestones are reached at the Emperor so every thing from now on is a bonus
Grabbed this one with BC as IolantheK had found already.
We practically drove to this rather exposed cache
The cache is dry and in good condition [^]

IolantheK, T-tech and myself are camping at Glastonbury Creek campsite for the week-end and to do some caching around the region as well.
IolantheK and myself needed to find the last 2 warriors (plus a couple of local caches) to get those numbers just right for a major milestone at the cache The Emperor, my 7000th find.
With that done we made our way back to camp for a few celebratory beers [^] ... but a cachers cannot just drive past a green icon now.
A quick find here. There was no log book in the cache, though a few swaps, so we added one.
Thanks for the cache.

Out with babrbowman for a road trip to chase down some Warriors
After heading back to Gympie for some food, we decided to grab a few more caches before heading back to Brisbane. We walked straight across to GZ and made a quick find here. TFTC, j.walt.

Easy find, thanks jwalt. I had actually considered this park as a good cache site. I was thinking a micro at the sign good minds think alike. Keep up the caching and hope to see more of your hoses soon
Travelled to Gympie to day for business and managed to grab a few caches along the way. This one was a quick and easy find.
Once the log was signed all was returned as found.

FTF @ 8.45 (ish)
I truly though Sweet' or Fairymothers name would be at the top of the log book but no ( insert surprised face).
The coordinates led me straight to the cache which was very easy to spot, I left a swappable and a TB then tried to conceal the cache a little better from muggles eyes.
I took a wonder along the creek and had the pleasure of watching some parrots teaching their young how to bath in the water, which was fun.

About 1030, arrived on site had a rough idea where the GZ was from Google Earth, and followed a set of tracks (hoping that it was the CO's) in the dry grass, turned on the GPS, flat batteries
Back to the old scouting methods of orienteering a quick look around, there can only be one place
Hesitantly opened the log book, looking for that blank page Tomuda has been here.
Congratulations on the FTF [^] about time you got another.
Sorry I couldn't confirm the co-ords, I usually do this on a new cache by a new cacher.
Midnight found almost all the cobblers pegs in the long grass, could do with a mow.
Congratulations j.walt on your first hide [^] maybe I will be quicker next time
Left a couple of pathtags, 1 for the CO and another for the next finder. Please be quick to retrieve yours, they are marked accordingly.
