Sorry guys but I have to archive. This cache was continually muggled and covid has been a breaking point on maintenance and pretty much touching anything in public.
Couldn't find it anywhere. Looked in the the spots the clues provided and still nothing.
The history associated with this cache initially attracted our attention.
We parked nearby and followed the path to the hide.
Identified the cache container and spent some time accessing the log sheet.
A favourite point from us too. Thanks for this cache.

Nice walk to the cache. Quick find here. Fingers crossed it’s not muggled again on you. Thanks for your efforts in making this one.
had a few hours to spare so decided to come here with my push bike and find a few caches. i ended up finding 11 and a 13 km bike ride. What a great cache this is, never likely to get muggled. thanks for placing this cache here for us to enjoy
After an earlier did not find. We came back and found it! Very very clever spot!
After an exhausting week at work due to the end/beginning of the financial year, I was chomping at the bit to get outside today into some fresh air and hunt down a few caches. Couldn't have picked a better day for it, it was certainly Goldilocks weather - not too hot and not too cold, even with the wind blowing. Although the main reason for my trip over this side of town was a bust, I did pick up quite a few others including this one.
At GZ I was a little bit too distracted by worrying about looking suspicious to all the passing cars. While trying to access the cache I managed to drop a part of it, which of course ended up on the opposite side of the fence. Luckily it was within reaching distance, although I did end up with a nice, bloody scratch on my arm as a souvenir. With the part retrieved I was fortunate to be caching an item to assist extracting the cache, with the logbook signed shortly after. With everything replaced safe and sound it was time to head back to the car and continue the day's caching. TFTC

Cache a day to keep the doctor away, or is it to keep me sane. No it’s to keep my streak alive. Stuart_0110 TFTC *513* streak. *3022* Finds

WHAT A GOOD HIDE. ESCAPE ROOM LEVEL TYPE OF HIDING. Caboolture Christian Childrens centre vacation care. Found by an educator and 6 year old.
Found it on our vacation together with my brother, Aussie Vikings, that lives in Caboolture.

I’m surprised we found it so quick. Although it is a bit out of place, it did blend in. Loved this one. You might need some tweezers or something to take the log out though
Swooped on Caboolture today chasing green boxes ... I was awake and buzzing on my 3rd coffee for the day, purple was smelling like a lower octave E - and on approach I spied my quarry and had that logbook out and signed in a jiffy. An impressive little hide, and to be honest I was not expecting that (I didn't notice all the FPs until now, here's one more!)
Thanks Stuart_0110 for entertaining me at this location.

A quick find was made here when we noticed something a little out of place that didn't quite make the right contact!!!
Think the last finder may have replaced this in the unfriendly way which made it very difficult to extract.
Replaced the nicer way.
Thanks, a nice hide.

Great hiding spot here, we found it easy but I think it would trick a lot of people. Thanks for this one
I finally got around to doing this cache while out on a bike ride this afternoon definitely worth the wait!
TFTC!

While staying at Elimbah we ventured out and found this cache. Exploring these areas is fun and generally very scenic. Thankyou Stuart_0110 for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area
Looking for good caches to do while here for a horse event, this one's favourites made us interested and it earns another from me. Loved it. TFTC
Rusty85 and I decided a couple of caches could be done before the next event and with the favourites this one had it had to be done, was a quick find but you get a favourite point from me. TFTC
What a great hiding spot! Took me awhile to find it haha one of my definite favourites around the area tftc!
Great hide
iPhone was sending me places I didn't want to go

Out on a bit of a mission down to Caboolture to get some high favourite point caches for some extra points since the planetary pursuit challenge has been extended. Kidnapped daughter E for a drive before going to the beach in the afternoon.
Nice new looking bridge - parked across the road and made our way across. The hint gave us some idea of what to look for and sure enough something fitting was soon spotted. Surprised to find the tiny bison inside. Clever....
Glad we didn't have to venture too close to the creek, looked pretty steep.

Last one of the day up here before heading home. Ingenious piece of work on the container. Nice. Tftc
Out and about picking up a few caches while on a Planetary Pursuit . We were able to park nearby and with surprisingly few muggles around, the cache was quickly found and the log signed. Loved the camo, a favourite point from us. TNLNSL TFTC .
AndyCol95, my GeoSister and I were out for a day of caching and were up in the area for a caching event.
We attended the event and found the ones around the location and our next stop was this cache.
We drove over to this one and AndyCol95 dropped my GeoSister and myself off so we could go and make the find while he parked.
As we were walking I read out the hint to my GeoSister and she spotted it immediately on arrival.
I retrieved the cache, signed it off and replaced it just in time for AndyCol95 to arrive.
We made him find it too, but the hint made it too easy!

Well today was just going to be one of those days. After making the start of my day more of a challenge than it needed to be, Wombles&Co and I headed late to an event nearby and then headed off for some more caches that I wanted around this area. We then made my previous find much harder than it needed to be, before heading here for this one.
Well this was an easy find, as a matter of fact I found a cache with a similar kind of hide only yesterday funnily enough, but it was what I did after making the find that added to my Difficulty and Terrain today. See, as I was signing the log, I somehow managed to drop the lid of the inner and of course it bounced and went....
Down! Down and down some more
Thankfully a part of the fence was missing here so I snuck around and down and down some more myself and managed the retrieval - luckily it was a nice bright colour! Then it was up and back up again, before I opted to finish signing the logbook in another much safer and somewhat better surface before replacing it safely once more.
Thanks for the cache Stuart_0110.

Nice hide, good to get away from the magnetic nanos for a while. I remember when this tragedy happened, a terrible day in Queenslands history.
Msjohnwillem logging - Nice hide! sent the kids out for this one and they looked confused, then geoson11 found something rather random - "is this it? it is! I found it! that is cool"
I remember the day this tragedy happened, and had J.P. and Police friends that were unable to discuss the matter at the time... My father was in Prince Charles and I had dropped off my now eldest in daycare - when heading out to the highway 6 police cars came blaring past and I wondered what the commotion was about, it wasn't until the afternoon when we returned that I was informed the local daycare centre had been in lockdown for a few hours that day and what had happened.

Liked this one although it was a quick find for us due to the clue. Probably would have been more challenging not having a clue for this one! TFTC.
Found this one on Saturday but had no internet connection to log. It look in good condition but I couldn't have a long look inside it due to its being stuck in it's hidy-hole. From the outside everything looks okay except for not being able to get it out. TFTC
Making our way down to the coast for an event, stopped by to find this cache. Thanks for the clever hide, Stuart_0110.
With all the rain around the local irrigation has kept the log dry... great hide. Quick find. Tftc
This morning we headed to Ikea for breakfast. Following this we found a few caches in the area.
This took us to various locations & a good selection of caches found.
After we returned hubby went for a ride on his bike & found this cache. He said that it deserved a favourite point.
Thanks for placing this cache Stuart_0110
