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 you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 28 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

DNF.
We feel that this cache needs to be checked by the owner. There is 10 DNF's before us and the last find was in July last year. We spent quite some time systematically searching, no luck for us. Please check.

Not 4 me today

Found a rope in a tree that cold have had the cache attached... Missing for now.

Same lid spotted. Cache has been muggled

Short on time and DNF. Will have to go back for a better look.

I think someone must of taken the rest of the container.

Found a lid to a container but that’s about it!!

No luck today

Couldn’t find it, looked for half an hour with 5 people, no luck, maybe someone has taken it??

Didn’t find this

I can’t see it.

Good hide, and finally found it!

An unexpected hide. We, like probably most others, concentrated in a certain area, and then in another certain area which we thought was very likely. Neither of those places revealed the cache. Not ones to give up we checked again and then spotted the candidate in plain view. Tricky king-fisher8

Oh my goodness this one almost had be baffled... Yes I went in...
Sometimes you should just slow down and let the gps do its thing....
but definitely hidden in plain sight... Thanks king-fisher8

Try not to go in the bush much TFTC

Took me a while to find . Had to read the activity log to get some more clues

Took way longer then it should have, it’s currently hanging... don’t over think

So obvious it’s hard! Also got spooked by some chickens, Thanks for the cache.

PS: Logbook full

Still here!

Didnt find. Could be washed away, covered or stolen...

Clever spot. Had to use good peepers

Needs a new log

This one had me wandering around for a bit looking high and low. Finally spotted it, so obvious once I saw it! Coords were spot on. TFTC!

A nice run back north after snaring a Murwillumbah FTF.

Spent quite some time searching but nothing remotely like a cache exposed itself to view.
Neither the hint, past logs, photographs & descriptions or any other available info was of much help here but nevertheless the cache was eventually found several metres from where the compass needle was indicating.
Perhaps a check by the CO to rectify?
Made our mark & replaced as found.

TFTC king-fisher8

We didn’t think the hint was much of a help until we found it then we knew

Unable to locate on first attempt, found later on

Been here a few times, would never have known about this beforehand!
"SJM" TFTC

Found - stands out once you know where to look!

Love these local finds

TFTC

Stoked on the find.
Thanks from the Ross family.

Gold Coast has such good parks. TfC.

Nice fun find. Name suits

Only found a Green tree snake in the big tree near the bike track.

Found Ok

Distracted ourselves a bit with co-ords and then regrouped and scouted. Moved some cover and cache name made a lot of sense! TFTF

Sometime you should think you know where it is and follow your GPSr. Once I stopped and used it, I soon had the hide.

It is currently hanging, good shape. Log 75% full.

Found with Lisylou and mnance101 after seeing the glow worms today

Out caching with the Tough Mothers (Bennyboppers and Lisylou). TFTC!

A quick find with bennyboppers, and mnance101 this afternoon. Tftc

A simple yet cute park to bring the kiddies, puppies or adults to just chill and relax.

Thank you CO for the cache enjoying them so much

Took us longer than it should have to locate this well placed
Searched the obvious then went further
Yes we saw it hanging there
Tftc

Definitely over thought this cache. The shade of the big tree tempted us to get closer so took longer to retrieve than should. After searching a likely spot we wandered around the outside edge of area and trusted our GPS. Found with The X-Trailers. TFTC

Was on the ground instead of hanging as the clue said just about to leave and then at the last minute the shininess of it appeared

Nice find while travelling through the area today. SL TFTC

3 out of 3 for me

Bit of a challenge but soon found it, Tftc :^). Found 25/02/17 1.20pm.

With so many options for a cache to be hiding, it was a surprise to be in and out in under 10 minutes. Don't overthink it!

Spent way to much time on this one. Hint had me looking in the wrong spots. Previous logs were a great help getting me in the right place to spot this one.

On my way back to Canberra from Brisbane. Taking a scenic route off the main highways. A quick find, TFTC.

Had a muggle using the tap close by ,but no problems !! Grab, signed off !! Thanks king-fisher8

A bit of searching revealed the loot TFTC

Searched for quite a while when eventually Ms Wig found it and tried to get my attention by blowing her whistle, which I thought was some type of bird and kept searching

Thanks king-fisher8

Nice quick find. TFTC

Mr RoddyC has some caching time today, what better to do than be in the company of DiamonJs doing some caches around Elanora and Currumbin. We started just after 7.00am and finished about seven hours later on the first day of November - not too hot yet, and we covered a lot of different territory.

We soon found a geocache aptly names by the way: but we thought at first it was in the old post.

Log signed & replaced again. Found at 9.35am on 1st November, 2016. TFTC

Tftc

Hurt my eyes also hurt my ankle on an old pot on the way back out

Spent some time looking high & low. Will return another day.

Easy enough find on our way home.

Quick pick up on the way home from Mt warning. Tftc

Found with Remsjw and Jemillalucy.

A nice quick find here today, thankfully, as these iften keep me searching for hours. I guess I was just lucky enougj to be looking at the right angle from the right location.
A nice quiet muggle free location made this search even easier. Cheers for bringing me here kingfisher and of course for the cache.

Found it, as others have pointed out 'hanging' might be a better hint!
Checked a lot of angles before finding this one !

Mum found it from the outside while I was looking at the creek.

Finally found it, on fourth try!

On our way south with OrionJ and decided to find a few caches along the way. Arriving nearby we needed to move three little ducklings off the road before parking. It was the then off to GZ from where you could hear the ducklings and the lizards nearby. This one too a little longer but luckily made the find and added our names to the log.

As we were approaching right near to GZ we spotted three little ducklings sitting on the road, so before finding a parking spot we stopped to move them along off the road. Soon we were back and parked and between the lizards and the ducklings there were a few splashes. It took a little while to find but soon enough had it in hand and the log signed. Just before leaving spotted the ducklings heading into the nearby pipe, hope they are ok.

This one was the last on my short afternooncachingtour. Here I was lucky and I could find the box on the first view.
Thanks for the cache and greetings from Austria!

Can't find it anymore

Out with dad for Father's Day cleaning up new caches and venturing further from home on the map.

Second time lucky for this one..

Tftc

So shiny!

I was here late in the day and very glad to find it bright and shiny! Tftc. Needs a new log.

TFTC

Golden retrievering done. TFTC

Nice hide, clue makes sense once you've found it. I would go with the 'hanging' rather than 'in' clue.

I've come to this thrice and found nothing until I re-read some of the past posts. I to have now found that glorious golden star. TFTC. Log was a little damp.

About to call it a DNF when looking from a different angle the cache was sighted. TFTC.

Not ones to give up we checked again and then spotted the candidate in plain view. Tricky king-fisher8 Visited some trackables for miles. [^][^]

It is not there

It isn't there

Thanks for the cache. The container is in good condition but the log is damp and a bit damaged.
Cheers

Up from Canberra and found with Rapidlywild on a two week geomission around the Gold Coast and, of course, for the MEGA

It was the last day of caching on the Gold Coast for us

Took a little bit of searching but eventually retrieved the retriever. I reckon it is "hanging" rather than "in"

Thanks for the hide, king-fisher8

Last full day of caching on the Gold Coast. Today we were not as successful as yesterday only accumulating 20 finds. We had alot of issues with coordinates today and seems there were alot of DNF's in the area we were caching.

Took a little while to locate this one as we entered following the wrong cachers trail. However after checking from another view, the cache was quickly located. Almost lost my sunglasses at this one but realised once at the geomobile and went back to retrieve the sunnies.

Thanks king-fisher8 for placing this cache for us to make a find on

Geo Wife & I were out today with a newbie who is fast LOVING the game!!

There were a nice group of caches around this area, which meant a bit of travel, but they are pretty scarce on the ground around our area.

It was a hot day but we hoped that most were in easy reach of the car.

We all headed in to an area which felt sure would hide the cache and searched with no luck!!

Then taking a hint from a previous log I headed a little further and there was the prize smiling back at me!!!

Thanks KingFisher TFTC SL

Picked up on our day out with ash&shaun1003 TFTC

Found with CaN0713

I was down this way this morning to take a work friend out caching ...but he had to go into work to sort out a mesh from yesterday.
So, out and about by myself before the rain gets too bad.
I guess, like others, I headed 'IN' a bit sooner than I should of.
Found the golden cache after a bit of searching.
and the rain is slowly getting heavier.
Thanks for the cache.

As I jumped out of my car, the first thing I noticed was how quiet it was down here. No one in the park this morning either so I wandered over with ease. My phone was pointing me in a direction and I soon spotted what I thought was a geotrail. IN I went and boom, boom, boom, three lizards I guess bombed the water that's sitting in the drain. Geez talk about giving someone a heart attack. With the life threatening incident over I started looking. It seem like the obvious general area but I couldn't see it for the life of me. I poked and proded things but all I could see was an old barb wire fence that had been eaten by a tree, so out I went.
I let my phone sort itself out while I wandered around to check out the neighbours yard when I spotted something. Bingo, log signed and replaced as found.
Thanx again king fisher, another great little park. I think I may have dated it the 20th.

Out and about this morning with GeoJane grabbing a few local caches in the valley. We arrived at the GZ and looked left and right... I then spotted something to my left that caught me eye. A nice little hide. SL TFTC

Great spot for the kids

Nice! TFTC

Cool park!! TFTC

Getting my retrievers mixed up. Logging as going. A bit damp in here today! TFTC
