Looks like it's last chance has been used. After 110 finds, 18 DNFs in nearly 3 years, I"m letting this one go. Obviously too high a muggle zone. ???????????
Holy moley! Lots of muggles around so took a while to have a proper look. then finally... WE FOUND IT! TFTC Ki & Zo
Another of the quieter spots this morning. Nothing like a pandemic, winter and dodgy weather to keep most people indoors.
Nice quick find with the help of the hint.

Gone again! Usually I only give caches 3 chances then archive but since this one has a high find total & in a popular location & easy to get in, get out to replace, I'll give it another chance.
Replaced today, happy hunting!

Today, my plan was to head north to the Sunshine Coast, and attend the Coolum Beach weeding CITO. Following the event, I managed to hike a few mountains in the area, starting with Mount Coolum ascending from west to east, followed by Emu Mountain for that virtual cache. I then spent the afternoon finding geocaches around the area and along the beach promenade, which was quite enjoyable, and continued south down to Maroochydore and Mooloolaba. A few Adventure Labs were completed during the day, including *Coolum Beach Sightseeing*, *Point to Point Promenade*, and *Sunshine Coast Coastal Pathway*.
I managed to get a park nearby, and upon arriving at GZ, I searched a few places to where the hint suggested I look. However, after trying those places, no cache was found. I'm pretty sure this one is indeed missing, so a CO check on this one may be required. Thanks anyway spiderwebbs4 for the cache placement.

Lots of people out and about today, some in masks but not that many.
The coords took a bit of a bounce but after reading a few logs, I knew what to do, and found the cache in my hand without drama.
TFTC where all is fine, especially when I always carry tweezers in my phone case!

Definitely high muggle area but took a chance when the traffic was actually moving and came up with the goods.
Nice area, I'll have to come back next time we stay here.

Visiting from Sydney with PelDroedGwin, stopped in at Maroochydore to pick up some lunch and had time for a quick grab whilst it was cooking.
It took longer than it should though lol

Found after dinner, signed the log with a keno pen that I borrowed for this purpose only.
Thank you for hiding this geocache and keeping me entertained spiderwebbs4

Good coordinates and utilised the comments and the hint for an easy find. Tftc and greetings from Cairns
I hadn’t planned to walk quite this far but I decided I had a little bit more time so I might as well get just one more cache. Being early morning there were very few people about and a very quick find here. TFTC.
We had an extensive search just before 10th August and almost uncapped what was actually a terminated mains pressure water pipe thinking it could hide the log!!.
Shortly after noticed owners maintenance to replace missing cache.
Today an easy find.
Thanks

Over thought that one. Seeing we we staying literslly a stones throwaway, i was able to visit gz before there were too many others around. Looked under the shorter poles before realising that there was actually a more obvious spot. Tftc
Out on a maintenance run today and this one was on the list for a new log. Brought a new nano just to switch over to make it a stealthier manouvre & lucky I did as the previous little nano was nowhere to be seen or felt. Not on the pole that it was supposed to be on anyway. I was surprised as it has been found a fair bit recently.
So, new nano in place with a brand spanking new log.
Happy hunting!!

Found quickly once at GZ. Cache was sitting in the open at GZ. Logsheet is now officially full. Placed it in a slightly better hiding spot than what the last cacher left it. TYFTC.
Took a while to find it. I was caching with My Mum and didn’t have much luck with other caches but finally got her her first cache. TFTC
Out for a day of caching fun with Brislions. Another quick find and sign here. TFTC
Out today caching with Selva Girls. We pick up a few caches today. I grab a few Selva Girls grab a few grannysmith1947 grab a few. We all each help each other with a few different caches.
We finished two Adventure Lab with 10 waypoint, 2 mystery, and 6 traditional. We had a great day. So overall 18 finds.
Sorry for the generic log.
Cache a day to keep the doctor away, or is it to keep me sane. No it’s to keep my streak alive. spiderwebbs4 TFTC *536* streak. *3196* Finds

Thanks for the i hide. A nice quick find between having drinks at a nearby bar.
Will give this one another chance too. 3rd try. Replaced nano - same location.
Happy hunting!!

Checked the spots indicated by the hint. Nothing there. Missing probably given the string of dnfs

Read the clues here so had a pretty good idea. Yep. God one, and thankfully the are was relatively Muggle free.

Decìded to take the weekend off and attend an event up the coast. Picking up caches as we go.
Nice hide. Not sure about the busy hands- you sure need two sets.
Replaced the log sheet.

Once we saw the hint we knew exactly where it was but we knew we would get strange looks straight away. When it was the right time we quickly had a look and we found it straight away. Signed the log! Overall we had fun with this one!!
I'm glad I arrived early this morning,
before the shops had opened
This could be a tricky find after 9 am !! [:o]
It still took me a few goes to find this little cache though
But find it I did before anyone parked in the spot
TFTC and putting that silly song in me head

Out and about with Tassie Trekkers after checking into the nearby Cotton Tree Caravan Park and found this cache near the shopping centre we had walked to. TFTC

Caching in and around Cotton Tree and surrounds, we picked up a few caches with Whitewebbs and this was one of them.
A tricky find but after a more detailed look we found GZ, a great hiding place, cache and contents were in good condition.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

A nice quick find after a mornings kayaking around Maroochy River and Cotton Tree. And as an added bonus, GZ was right next to a Games Workshop, so had a look around at the cool models.
Thanks!!

Quick easy find.....
Ok only because Big Wardy was curious as children can be
Mr and Mrs Wardy and little Wardy were left a bit dumbfounded that he’d found it
Love this set of geocaches

Looked everywhere! Found the perfect little alcove for the small catch but it was nowhere to be seen.... Might of been caught by muggles.
Nice little hide. Not too much trouble here with some discretion. Tftc Spiderwebbs4
Waited for the muggles to pass, found and signed log, rehid. Cache in good shape...TFTC
Was able to find when I read previous clues about grammar... No pen, so semi spoiler photo
We had been having a caching day on the Sunny Coast with our cache blocker daughter. Everyone was winning, we had picked up a few caches and she had scored some new clothes. We were now sitting in the pub sucking on a couple of drinks and waiting for our lunch. The best thing about taking our muggle daughter out for lunch is she doesn’t cost a penny food wise as she doesn’t eat, one look at the menu and she is out as it is ‘actual food’. She tells us I’ll eat some of your chips but only if they look ok when they come out, whatever, we are use to it now. (The chips weren't to her standard, which is pretty low, when they came out!)
While we were waiting we pulled out our phones and checked if there was a cache nearby, and what do you know, 37m. We tried to get her to go and look as we would be able to watch through the glass, that was followed up with a big fat no. So after finishing our lunch we swiped a keno pencil and headed over. Just as we got there a man swooped in and started chaining up his bike, oh no we might have to leave it, cue cache blocker laughter. A look at our phones and nope he isn’t where we need to be, cue geo-parents laughter. A quick search and we had the cache and added our name with the keno pencil.

Thought this one would prove tricky as seemed to be lots of people around. Was lucky and plenty of breaks in the muggles to get the log signed discreetly
