This cache has not been found since Jan 2014, a need maintenance logged May 2014, nothing has been done since them. Maybe its time to achieve it.
I need some way of avoiding these multiple DNF ones. Early days. No luck. TFTC
Despite a rather intensive search in all the likely spots using hints & photos this cache does no longer appear to be at GZ. Owner really needs to confirm or update listing. Thx.
I had been in the area working for the past few days and had some time to fill in before heading home. I came looking for this cache without much success. I did find a perfect hiding place at GZ with no cache and looked in several less likely locations further afield. Given the time period since the last find, I think it should be checked by the CO.
No one around on this beautiful Saturday morning. TFTC!

On a Bundy caching bender this weekend with Dav81. We were up this way to survey the area and what may be the best way to get to Barubbra Island with our canoe. The wind and waves looked a bit hectic and we were running out of time, so we abandoned our mission and went to look for a few other local caches instead.
I enjoyed the short stroll out to this cache as there was plenty of feathered beauties flitting about the area. I noted a few finches and honeyeaters and of course the regular Willy Wagtail, always seems to be one of them at every cache.
The lighthouse was not what I was expecting, certainly haven't seen one that looks like that before. I took a few pictures and we continued down the rock wall to GZ. I read out the hint to Dav81 and we both started prodding and poking around in the rocks. After only a small hunt I had the cache in hand, we signed the log and replaced the cache as found.
Thanks for the cache Dusty Pair

In Burnett Heads for the Lighthouse Festival today, with our stall set up, time to find this one that had eluded me last year.
This was the first find today.
Cache container is not in good condition. The container has some holes in it. With the spring and summer high tides, there could be a water problem.
A great hide, Finding any size cache, small and up are appricated by us grey nomads, the eyesight is not what it used to be.
In about 50% of my recent finds, and this one was no exception. The previous finders have not been doing up the ziploc bag. Not much point in having the log book in a plastic bag, if it's open. And it's not always the new cachers.
Lift a pathtag for the next finder.

Took a little while to find. But had GC in hand. Muggles were approaching so quickly signed n put back safe b4 the fishermen noticed. Tftc
Nice walk out along the rock wall. A quick look around revealed the prize. And the shark operations depo got our imagination going.
Gotcha! That could have taken a while but as it was a quick screen up & back and hey presto! There's a. Cache... Grabbed the TB. Cache is in excellent condition. I wonder what the DPI shark patrol do?
Thanks for your efforts here
Thanks for your efforts here
Finally! Last time here was a Sunday with too many muggles around, this time just 1 lady with a dog who conveniently left.
Love this area thanks Dusty Pair for leaving a cache here.

Today we took a drive to Burnett Heads, and down to Innes Park.
Came across some interesting caches, all well hidden.
A nice walk to this cache. A few dogs playing on the beach.

Nice cache... Out of all the things that are in there, there was no pen... oh well... We were supposed to be doing something else but got distracted by geocaching.
Found while showing some of Bundaberg Bushwalking Club members how to do this activity. TNLN

The terrible two (me and crystal) up to our shenanigans again. This time geocaching. Really enjoyed the midnight stroll out to this cache with rock hopping, tree dodging and the rest. Its suprising how close that boat came to GZ and lucky it didnt wipe out the whole wall. Tftc and adventure. Well done
After a dnf the first time returned with trusty gps after walking three quarters of the way out on the rock wall last time. Sweet revenge on this cache TFTC Dusty Pair!!
Nice walk along the rock wall and a bit of a challenge to find but it was worth it! TFTC
Had a good challenge finding this cache but not for too long. Enjoyed the walk to the area and the view from the wall.
TFTC Dusty Pair for finding this lovely spot for your cache so that we could enjoy it.

Planned a big day yesterday in Bundaberg with Firsttime4us2. This was our 7th find. Our GPS told us we would find GZ in the ocean, but when we looked we realised we would be walking along the sea wall. What a great spot - I will definately come back here. It took a while to find, but the clue was spot on and so were the coordinates. Soon found, signed and replaced with no muggles around. Thanks for bringing us here Dusty Pair. TNLN
Nice one we loved this one, its a nice beautiful day to walk along the sea wall its a really nice cache. TFTC
Found this Cache today at 1200.
Steady as she goes to GZ but an easy find.
Well hidden

Found, Our last for the day the showers were getting heavier and closer together, would be a great walk on a clear day. TFTC Dusty Pair.
What a wall! I can't believe how even and flat the top layer of huge rocks are, making it relatively easy to walk along. Doug the geodog loved it too and kept climbing down to a little beach on the seaward side for a swim. Coords were absolutely spot on. Trust them. This was such an enjoyable experience that I will give it a favourite point. Took the Diabetes Bear TB, as it was pretty scary for a bear way out there!
The writing stick is missing and I did not have a spare to leave there. The bag containing the log is ripped at the bottom but everything nice and dry at present.
Master 3 and i continued on from the park to this one, checked out the 'flash' new lighthouse , and kept walking. I was impressed by the effort gone into the rock wall, making the walk a fun affair for one particular 3yo . We enjoyed the hop-skip & jump towards the cache, and it wasn't too long before we were at GZ
I had read the description, and just assumed that there was no hint , so i begun the search. Thankfully ... it wasn't very long at all before i came across the well hidden treasure, so we sat on the rocks to peruse the contents, and enjoy the view [^]. The co-ords were spot-on for us today. TNLN, Thanks Dusty Pair

Loved the walk, the location and of course, the cache .. thanks for bringing us to see this place.
Found this really quickly as trusted the gps but had Straddie sign it asap as fisher men / ladies were headed our way.
Nice walk to cache. Found rather quickly as coords were spot on. These rock ones can sometimes be a bit trickly so was glad to locate. Cache was dry and in good condition. TFTC Dusty Pair
Out for a early morning ride with geo daughter and thought we would grab some caches along the way.
On a caching weekend with Aussiemates. Just the type of weather lighthouses were built for! Nice hide. No travel bugs as listed. TFTC
Doing the Bundy Run with Stealth Seeker.
What an adventure. The rain was pouring down, the wind was blowing in, the sea was wild. SS searched here and I searched there. The clue was a big help. After a quick correction of strategy, I soon had the cache in hand. Thanks for bringing us to this area. I haven't ever seen a lighthouse quite like this one. thanks Dusty Pair

Thought we'd pop out and grab this cache after getting seaward markers. Its further than you think just by looking. A hot walk, thank goodness for the stiff breeze to cool us down this afternoon. Cache was located and retreived despite the near proximity of some muggles. No sign of birthday bracelet bug or kitty Sullivan TBs listed, my need to be marked as missing. Did find and retrieve arizona TB which I will log out as soon as Crew 153 log it in. TFTC LN
A pleasant breeze blowing as we took the walk along the rocks. Someone has taken a lot of effort to lay them flat for easy walking. there was a muggle sunning herself on the beach nearby. the hint helped to narrow the search and it was soon located.
It wasn't until we had signed the log that we realised just how close we were to the muggle. Her back was turned so she hadn't seen us but we got a good eyeful of a black thong....
Thanks for the cache and the entertainment.

You have to love the 1970's style lighthouse!
The cache was quickly found after a little rock jumping. Kids were keen to examine the coral like structures on the beach.
Found with RoseGums and MrMeccano on the Bundy caching weekend.

Well don't new lighthouses look far less impressive than their older relatives. No matter, on to the cache, a bit of rock hopping and soon Gaz'n'Kab, Fangsoki and myself were passing the logbook around. For any doubters the cache is well and truly above high tide level. The water out here today looked perfect for a swim, but there was caching to be done, no time for swimming. TFTC.
This was an enjoyable walk into GZ with Gaz'n'Kab, Captain Terror, and myself today. After a bit of rock hopping, the cache was soon located and in good condition. Thanks for bringing us here. TFTC Dusty Pair
A lovely walk along the rock wall to reach GZ while watching many boats go in and out to sea while we walked. A fairly easy find but love these sort of caches because of the location. Thanks to Dusty Pair for bringing us to this location, the geowife, Dayna and Duc loved this area. TFTC [^]
Walked about 800 m (return) to the light-house only to find that GZ was in the water. What’s the go? Not impressed that there wasn’t something in the notes about tidal factors.
Enjoyed the stoll towards GZ with our dog...easy to walk on the flat and big rocks...Ms Bushies2 found it easily. Thanks Dusty Pair.
Took us a bit but found it in the end. Trackable that is meant to be in it has already been taken. Very good hide. Alley-cats and Stevekiwi.
Nice wee walk out here to the seawall. Very pleasant day for the stroll and a nice spot. Cheers Gav [8425]
Our 5157th overall find.
This was a lovely wander out in the late afternoon. On the way out I spotted another person that turned around when I sat down on the wall to see what he was going to do. Once he had left I made a quick find. Thank goodness for spot on coordinates.
Thanks to Dusty Pair for the cache.

5th find for the day. What a fantastic walk. Wish we had more time to spend out there. Took paddle ball toy, left spiderman toy. Great to have the toilets and playground nearby as well. Cheers...
was thinking it was going to be inside a buliding until we got there but soon found, TFTC, found with bb7282
We weren't quite sure of where to go to get this one, but had a guess & got there easily enough. A quick find when paying attention to the GPS.
TFTC!

Great location, thanks for bringing us here. Took nothing left TB Travelcoin. Bone loved the abundance of shell to collect on the way. Dipped out on TB Braclet, already gone
TFTC. Good hide. Took nothing. Left a car and a second log book as the 1st is almost full.[^]
There was a muggle fishing and a pair of muggles following us and we all met up right at GZ. How does that happen? Anyway, Fisher-muggle was looking at the water, the pair after stopping and looking around seemed to get the hint that we weren't moving and left .
We grabbed the cache from it's hide (how convinient for that to be there) and signed the log. TFTC.
