Hi TommyG3514,
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.
If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

CO has replied and said that they will look after it. I will do nothing more with this one. It appears that sand blows in and buries this container. It
I am staying about 50 meters from this one and as I replaced it some time ago I will go and have a look and if it is buried I will move it. That is if the Co agrees.
Searched for 20mins mostly digging and no idea. I dug at the start of the track, the start of the bridge, under the sleepers, beside the concrete base. Nothing!
I can't imagine there is much joy from burying a cache, giving the wrong coordinates and sharing no clues, but good luck to you!

Following earlier posts, looked under right side of walkway, walking away from the beach - no luck. Not sure if it’s still there; not convinced that having to dig into the sand is according to the guidelines...
We dug. We read the clue. We read the other comments. Sounds a bit hard if it's buried and the co-ords are off. Tapped out after 30mins.
Was in town overnight, took a walk on the beach this morning, and visited here before dawn. Followed the previous logs and photos, excavated to some depth and under and along ... no good for me today. oh well.
Came out to see this lovely area today, Found after reading other logs 11 mts out. Stamped log and replaced. Thanks to TommyG3514.
TFTC,
No accommodation available last night so back from the highway this morning to learn about this area,
4 caches found and on our way again after deciding it's a place to visit rather than live.

We took a day trip up to 1770 & Angus Waters. Perfect weather day to visit the beaches & it seemed that everybody else thought so as well.
After reading previous logs this was a nice quick find. A quick scratch with a stick revealled the cache.
Wonderful beach, many people enjoying the warm weather.

Attempted this one but GPS was off, and the idea of digging through the sand seemed a large endeavour given the lack of GPS findings, and also against guidelines.
Wow took a bit to find didn’t bring a pen again. Really need to plan these hunts better and start to carry a pen.
Found today to the right of the GPS coordinates by about 10 mt. Under about 2 inches of sand .right hand side with back too beach. Tftc
Buried and 11m from posted co-ordinates is a bit of a tall ask. Beautiful day on the beach but no find for us today ... pity 
Did not attempt this cache as it seems to be against the rules of Geocaching :-
The guidelines state --
Do not bury
Do not bury geocaches, either partially or completely. You must not create a hole in the ground to place or find a geocache.
The only exception is if a property owner gives explicit permission to create a hole to place the cache, which you must provide to the reviewer and state on the cache page. A cache cannot require the finder to dig to reach the cache.

If you not careful, this cache could have you digging all over the place before you find it. Didn't take us too long thank goodness.
Had to ring for a PAF on this one.
Numbers are out by 11 metres.
End of the boardwalk is a great hint.
Put my name under Wesso Family and YOF before enjoying a lovely swim nearby.
Thanks TommyG3514

Beautiful spot!!
It’s a tricky one as the GPS had us about 11mtrs off course but enjoyed the view
Come here twice a year from Yeppoon and walk past this spot every day on our morning walks and never knew this was here.
Love our geocaching now with 7yr old geokid

Me and my brother Aussie Vikings did not find either.
Please maintain or update coordinates or hint.

One right might mean something after you find it but it's not much help when you're clueless!
Found @ 1130 hrs
Up in Agnes for a couple day and spotted a cache a 260m away. Went for a bit of a quick look yesterday arvo late, with no luck.
Today armed with a little more info, I headed off to GZ once again. There was a surf school set up at the nearby seat, but they weren't interested in what I was doing.
I sat down at GZ and begun my search after a little digging, I soon had the cache in hand. According to my Mr Garmin, I found GZ about 13m off, but the hint is good.
Once the new log was signed everything was replaced exactly as I found it.

My previous attempts to contact this CO have failed.
I am on my way home from QOGM2019 at Blackall and took the small tour to have a go at this hide. I have read the previous logs and after about 20 minutes no luck. Then I started the 10 meter circle walk trying not walk into the restricted area ( Dunes). I found a spot that was =/- 10 meters from posted co ordinates that matched the additional hint but after a thorough search there was no container. I rang a previous finder and told them where I was looking and was told I was on the spot where they found the container. I have replaced the container with a small Sistema and log book only. My GPSr was indicating only 5 meters out and with your back to the water go to your right and in a bit. There is no need to go along the private board walk to the locked gate. Please respect the signs and do not go onto or into the Dune areas.

We looked and thought we were on the right track but no cache, time got us in the end
I was a bit apprehensive about this cache, seemed tricky. It was pretty close to a gated community but not that close. After a short search spotted a smiley face looking back at me. Tftc
A beautiful day in Agnes Water. Made better by finding this cache.
Coords were quite a way off but with the good hint we found it.
Thanks TommyG3514 for the cache and adding more fun to our day.

Thank you for bringing me to this wonderful place. After a night in the Cool Bananas Backpackers (I realy recommend this accomondation) we went to the beach to find this cache. To find the cache read the hint careful! (Don't care to much for the given coordinates. The navigation doesn't work so good +/-10m)
Thanks a lot.
I wish all of you much fun!
