I found a red tool box that looks like that would be it. Photo attached. Feel like if this is it it would need maintainance. The box was wide open, a little bent and no log. Was also off placement, our coordinates were: -23.9595327, 151.3603558.
Tftc!

Plenty of vegetation growth from rains. Couldn't find it - (unless it was the red tool box.) Cool kid hide spot to skip school.
Not sure if the cache is still here but lots of rubbish around and possibly a ruined cache
Found what is “left” of it anyway has been destroyed….I bet it was an awesome cache!
Needs replacing…

Found it and unfortunately it was destroyed and teenagers turned it into a smoke spot
Awesome cache. More of a survival kit really. A terrific short walk in front of the houses on the river. Great place. Loving Tannum Sands. TFTC
Big thanks to whoever stocks the cache, a spray of mozzie repellent was definitely needed
Our first ride in this area - so much fun after rain. Found by our v muddy 10 yr old. TFTC.
The cache notes make for interesting reading 
So I ignored them
I did head out skool-side first up
And it didn't look like a good spot to park the geomobile on a quiet Sunday [:o]
So I headed elsewhere and parked the geomobile in suburbia.
From a nearby boat ramp,
I found a very neat bike-path leading past the front windows of the creek side houses,
that took me to GZ [:D[
Once there I wandered around,
and quickly decided that a regular sized cache couldn't have survived here
The local kids have been having campfires here,
and surely must have found the cache !! [:o]
I poked around a bit more anyway.
And to me surprise found a large cache sitting nearby !! [:o]
It blends into the surrounds so well that I hadn't spotted it for a good 15 minutes
Stubborn determination won the day here
TFTC ... all good with this well stocked box [^]
Fave dance time

Just a 100 kls up the road to our next stop over. Booked into a caravan park then it was off to find a few caches at Tannum Sands.
We found a path behind some houses which we walked to get to GZ.
This was a terrific hide that we found here. FP given
Thanks for placing this cache geocachenooby

Just realised didn’t need to disable, everything is still in order. Added a few new small items.
Wow! So pleased I came looking for this cache it is a beauty! Loved the contents too. Log signed and cache replaced as found. Fav from me for the container. Thanks Geocachenobby.
Staying in the area helping a friend move into a new house so decided that I would do the few up here a few at a time over three or so days to fit in with the conditions of the New Souvenir available.
Up at 0530 and went for a drive in the cool and before the muggles were about.
Followed GPSr to a spot and found a way in that was heading in the direction indicated by GPSr as GZ.
I was able to drive nearly all the way to GZ. Would not tackle the drive in in a low clearance vehicle or in wet weather. my 4WD handled this well and I did not use the 4WD capability. It was then only a very short walk to GZ. Good co ordinates and did not take long to find the cache. Will not last if a fire goes through here as the grass is very dry. TFTC geocachenooby

TFTC. Should have been easier to find given it's size. That said, found easily ... coordinate issue resolved, thanks again
This cache is a prick to find I have searched everywhere and cannot find it. A better tip would help
Gave it a go. No good. Indicated GZ was in the middle of a mangrove ck. Tried the other side, and same. Not going in there at the moment. Found a location within 20 metres that fits the description, fallen tree and rusty metal, but still no luck.

FTF. A great geocache but the coordinates were off and it was on the other side of the creek. It was near metal but about 20m off on the app.
I am currently disabling this for a very short time as I update the coordinates
