What a great little park. I can see the tethered lid and taken a photo of the cache owner needs it for proof of “find”
 
06-Apr-23
Couldn’t find
 
25-Mar-23
Only the tether and lid remain. Cache needs replacing
 
23-Mar-23
I had been here quite a while ago looking for the cache, but never found it, partially because there were muggles nearby and partially because I couldn’t see it.

Today on the way to another cache, I stopped here. It was a quieter day at GZ, although it was lovely in the shade. I had looked at the attributes on the way to the cache but reading previous logs and the CO’s note, I realised that I needed to climb the tree. That’s okay because I’d already done a couple of high tree climbs today, and I’m a bit of a monkey, so it was actually my 3rd Cotton Tree climb for the day.

A nice relatively easy climb and I found the cache, or a part of it at least. Unfortunately the tether and lid are still there, but the bottom of the cache is gone.

Photo taken and message sent to the CO, who has kindly given her permission for me to log as a find.

Sad story here, but thanks for sharing it with us. TFTC sunshine58

We were out with a group of Geocaching buddies for a mid week get together and have a lovely walk through this area.
Our initial search here revealed nothing, however a quick call to the CO, confirmed that we just needed to be searching a little higher, since it had been muggled a few times.
On our return to the spot, we managed to locate it fairly quickly and have added our names to the log sheet.
The top was missing from the container, however we have managed to squeeze a log sheet back in.
Thanks Sunshine58 for placing this one. It is very interesting to read about the history of this area and particularly some of the indigenous history here.

Enjoying a lovely day out caching with our team called GGEDS (georode, grannysmith1947, E_Smiley, domsky and Snickersallan)
It was a great time had by all with lots of good hides found and with many laughs along the way.
Climbed the tree and found what was left of the cache, CO was then informed of the missing part. Maybe all those birds that come here for a big nosh up took it!

Great day out with Teams GGEDS or G2EDS (georode, grannysmith1947, Domsky and Snickersallan targetting tree fishing caches/(or caches with special tool required attribute), solved puzzles, oldies caches and other caches along the way.

Thanks for the cache and taking us here sunshine58. Was close to logging another DNF here but helpful CO kindly helped us. Terrain rating and attribute needed updating.

16-Jul-21
So many wrong trees to bark up Wink Well only really a few that were in range, but I did not start at the tight one.
 
14-Jul-21
New cache hidden and all ready to go.
 
27-Jun-21
Kids search every tree, pole and rock! DNF it’s a busy spot today so we were trying to remain un noticed…
 
23-Jun-21
Muggles having a picnic so did not attempt
 
07-Jun-21
Have tried to look for this one a few times since it was hidden but there always seems to be a huge family of picknickers right where I want to search. I had searched some of the outer trees previously but it seems the big one is the more obvious location.
Stopped by in the middle of a big maintenance run on my caches in the area.
Finally the area was free, so I zoomed in. The Cottonwood fork revealed its prize quickly - a camouflaged pill bottle. It was a bit hard to get the log out, but managed to finally and sign under only 2 other signatures on the log. Must be a relatively new log.

This is such a peaceful spot.
Deserves a favourite simply for location alone, and then there's the cache.. blends in well, ironically.
Thanks sunshine58 for bringing me here with a geocache!

FTF Log to follow
 
16-Oct-20
FTF log continued.

Well done sunshine58 for highlighting  some of  Sunshine Coasts history.

In approximately 1918 this area was known as Sarahs Grave and later possibly Phillips Point; named after Frederick (Billy) Phillips who built the first house here.

What great changes have occurred in the last 100 years!

More historical caches please sunshine58.

A short drive from the last cache to an area we know quite well - we often bring our daughter here for a picnic lunch as she works just round the corner. Great to see so many people enjoying themselves on the water. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC sunshine58 Smile

Found @ 1300hrs

Yep, I was barking up the wrong tree, I should have went with my gut the first time.

Once log was signed everything was replaced as found.
