Either too small or not there. Spent sometime looking at the low branches, even the low part of the fence, all to no avail. Looking at logs this may have gone.
I looked at the traffic box and couldn’t find it so I think that someone took it
Good start to the first cache of Australia on holiday so much fun. We did it at night and it made it a bit harder which was even better

Cache replaced, thanks to Davidwazza & team. Very much appreciated! See log for more clues.

This weekend, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) , baby Cottontail and I took a trip to the Sunshine Coast to Mooloolaba to primarily visit the Sea Life Aquarium. On Saturday afternoon, we visited a couple of playgrounds along Mooloolaba Spit before I went off to visit a few geocaches in the vicinity, and then Sunday morning was our visit to the aquarium.
This morning, after enjoying the Sea Life aquarium, we took a quick stop at Alexandra Headland / Alex Beach, before making our way back home over lunch to coincide with baby Cottontail's nap time.
With my visit to this location yesterday and subsequent DNF, I messaged the CO to ask if they wanted me to replace this cache. Permission was granted, and in the meantime, I MacGyvred a new cache and tether attachment (actually a couple of items, to give me some backup to where to best place this cache). In the late morning, this area was busy with walkers, and after thinking of a couple of options, I left a small painted pre-form container tethered by wire to the fence. My coordinates had me wanting to be in the dunes, but I can assure others that no fence needs to be crossed, and it is at a post at S 26° 40.020' E 153° 06.403'. The low hint is still valid. I am really hoping that this cache lasts, but it is quite a busy area. In the hope that others don't need to look suspicious, and in the spirit of the 1.5 Difficulty, I've attached a photo of the cache and tether. Thanks spiderwebbs4 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

On Saturday afternoon, we visited a couple of playgrounds along Mooloolaba Spit before I went off to visit a few geocaches in the vicinity, and then Sunday morning was our visit to the aquarium.
Today, after attending a local parkrun, we took the trip north to Mooloolaba. After making a couple of stops in Sippy Downs, we visited a couple of pirate playgrounds in Mooloolaba Spit, and then checked out our accommodation. I then took a drive north through Alexandra Headland and Maroochydore to grab a few geocaches that I hadn't had a chance to visit previously, or puzzle caches that I had only recently solved.
After admiring the named Traffic Lights box, I took a walk to GZ where my coordinates were bouncing around, and trying to have me head up to the dunes. Previous successful logs seemed to indicate that no cross-terrain was required, and so I concentrated my search along the fence. Like others, I didn't have any luck with this spot, so I suspect this cache may be missing. Thanks anyway spiderwebbs4 for the cache placement.

No luck today - coordinates would have you jump the fence and hunt through the scrub….which I’m sure isn’t right?! Nonetheless had a good hunt around fence but this one got the better of me today
Staying with family at the Breakfree, we'd gone to order coffees for all the adults from Milk & Beans. They told us to allow ten minutes and thirty seven seconds so we decided to pop across the road to look for this cache. Most of that time was used up waiting for the traffic lights, which is ironic.
When we stopped my phone showed 1m from Gz. I looked down and saw it immediately.
The log sheet is pretty full now.
Thanks spiderwebbs4

Coordinates and pictures seem to show different hints and locations, DNF Will try another time
I had my hand down crab holes and all sorts of places. My iPhone GPS must have been off as it was trying to send me 5m into the dunes but I knew from previous repot it couldn’t be there. Was ready to give up when, Bazinga! Got it. I’d been hunting around the wrong post. Sneaky! Glad I’d brought tweezers. TFTC
spiderwebbs4 I found your cache I Like Traffic Lights Perfect Break on 23/6/2022, 10:50 am. This is my find 3571 and find # 3 today. Tried to find this one late yesterday but couldn’t find it. Once I got home I reread the previous logs and I thought I could narrow the search. Sure enough, this time the cache was found after a brief search in a narrower search area. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN
spiderwebbs4 I didn’t find your cache I Like Traffic Lights Perfect Break on 21/6/2022, 4:33 pm. Nope searched around and found nothing.
I tried it find this cache last Saturday but hundreds of people all about so much better today.
We are up from cold old Melbourne to hopefully sunny QLD and to do some geocaching. TFTC??

I found a cache from this series when I was up this way for the Mega last year, so great to add another to the collection. Grabbed with K8TYBEE by the light of our phones as we walked through the rain to dinner. The things we will do for a cache! Lol TFTC
Nice early morning walk.
So many mugglers already near GZ.
Great hide

Very challenging. Started with a muggle on the bench but luckily he left. 4pm but lots of muggles on the path. I had an idea for the hide which was pretty much right. I focused more on proximity to the bench than the coords. After working my way along, through lots of long grass, I suddenly spotted the cache on the ground as the tether bit has rusted or something.
After signing up, I have replaced the cache in a very tight and secure spot, just above where I found it.
TFTC.

TFTC! Second one of the year!
Hint makes a lot of sense after finding it, emphasis on the ‘low’ part
Probably the smallest cache I have ever found, very impressed!
Came in the morning to find it- bad decision.
There were so many people walking along the path so I would recommend going later in the day (though it’s probably always busy).

Found this in November and forgot to log it, was a sneaky one, the place across the road is awesome for brekky!
Up on the Sunshine Coast grab few more caches for a challenge cache. Glad I came up here because it rain in Brisbane, but in the end the rain did come up here. Got rain on at Point Cartwright. Rest of the day was good. Did spend to long at two DNF’s.
My haul today was 14 traditional, 2 earthcache and 2 adventure labs with 7 waypoints. In the end the finds count was 23 finds and 2 DNF.
I had lots of fun today.
Sorry for the generic log.

I have now got a few of this series. I wonder how many I will pick up on this holiday. Thanks for this one by some of the comments I thought it may have been somewhere else. I signed over the top of someone’s name as the log is full.
Took about 10 minutes, had the idea but kept looking over it. Found by my amazing partner. Tftc
After a search and a read through some logs the cache was soon found and log signed
Thanks for the cache
Thanks for the cache
Well I search and searched with no luck but then GeoWife walks right up and spots it straight away. Wouldn’t find these without her. TFTC
Realised I was overthinking this one but found it thanks to a previous log! TFTC!
Took two visits to nail this one. Waited for the opportunity to replace as found.
TFTC and maintaining in good condition.

Nice little hide. Thanks for the hint. Sat down and pretended to play on my phone to return the cache. TFTC spiderwebs 4.
