Found the cache today. It's been a while that someone was here. I couldn't find it where the hint says its supposed to be. It's closer to the coordinates now.TFTC
On the public holiday the area is busy with children having some fun. So whilst trying to be discrete we quickly located the cache. TFTC.
found this one thanks to to the resurrector of the cache ,signed at 14.09pm after a snack and an easy find, TFTC
Found the spot, quite a few metres off using the clear hint.
Caching has brought us to some amazing locations, this would be up there, serenity abounds.
Original container replaced by Wollaston, potentially observed by the nearest neighbor who appeared on his deck just as the container was placed.
Thanks modro1 for taking time to set out and maintain this hide and for showing us this very special part of the world

In the interest of keeping this cache alive and reading previous logs/DNF’s and a good search by ourselves using hints and tips from previous logs, I have replaced the container including a new log inline with the D/T rating until the CO has the opportunity to check out same. The new container is a micro magnetic key case placed under the water tank, although this was about 14m S of GZ for me. On the hunting trail with SeasonedBird while on a slow roundabout route to QOGM 2023 at Longreach. It’s a great day for caching.

For anyone making Geo plans, do yourself a favour and visit Australia’s only current Geotour at Ballarat while it lasts: https://www.geocaching.com/play/geotours/ballarat-victoria
And for anyone that can travel to Longreach, Queensland, late September 2023, Google “QOGM” which is the Queensland Outback Geocaching Muster. You’ll have at least 8 or 9 days of pure geocaching fun with around 200 like minded people attending a mix of events and access to over 200 geocaches placed by the QOGM team. It’s not a Mega, it’s better.

17/6/21 Reviewed cache logs and no sign of the blue bottle on wayer tank that coral sea cat has replaced. Replaced cache container in the likely place with a magnetic container. TFTC SL. Found this log on cgeo that had not saved and logged now.
Grey Nomads travelling around Australia - more recently, just Queensland, and of late, heading up the Bruce. Today with our snail firmly attached to the tug, we started north towards Airlie Beach - with a few diversions.
Wadda View is what this should be called. Perfect place for coffee and cache. It would appear that this case goes out with the tide. Found a cache throw down that Liz and Bruce put down last year the blue cache that was put there a year before has gone missing. Signed and returned where I found it. Thanks modro1

Replaced cache container with blue bottle. The coordinates are a bit off, but the hint is great. Cheers. T4T$
Found the magnet in the appropiate place. Have placed generic log. Needs new container. Thanks for bringing us to this pretty place.
Without hint an impossible find, with hint a non gps find. A short walk from St. Helens campground, a chat with a local, cache found. Tftc
found it today after lunch down near the toilets, wish we had chosen here instead

Nice quiet spot on the beach front. Would never have seen it without the cache. Thanks heaps.
On my way home from Mackay a Quick detour and a quick find. After I sat down and had my Dinner and watched the sun set, before heading home. Thanks modro1 for the Detour.
It was dead quiet when we arrived so we had all opportunity to look for the cache. But there was none to be found. Maybe the CO should investigate?
Found location buy only thing left there was some magnetic strip. I think this one has been muggled. Nice little spot.
Took a little while with the neighbours out & about so sat back & relaxed for a bit. GPS was wondering alot but had no problems at solving the find. TFTC

Nice and quiet.
