A View to Remember Maroochydore South, Queensland, Australia

Archived.

Perhaps the owner could check this one, also people need to be aware of the broken bottles near GZ

Possibly needs some TLC and perhaps a shift in location.

No joy for me this afternoon. I spent waaay too long at GZ and came up empty handed...

Attempted this one today with geokids in tow. Searched around a few possible trees with no luck. In the end we decided it's best to come back without them as there is just too much rubbish and the GPS was advising us to get too close to the cliff.

Really really slippery leaves! Nice hide though. Cache smelt a little funky when we opened it up. TFTC.

found with busby 2. lovely view. TFTC

I have a feeling I've been past before and been scared away by wasps or bees. I also remember it being a lot more open - but maybe that's just my poor memory, Anyway, out for a walk this afternoon and dropped in to pick this one up - looks like its been a busy day here today. Searched in several likely spots before coming up with the cache. The container needs some attention - seems still to be dry inside but I question whether it will stay that way. Signed the book, admired the great views and continued on my way. TFTC.

Container is a bit cracked. But nice cache. Thanks.

Cool views. Nice trees. Thanks.

When one has the right tree, it is easy! TFTC

Pretty easy find to start the day.

Nice find in bush, great view including photo's in jar

Had to stand on the post to see the great view of town.

Gotcha !!! TFTC

Remembered the view, found the cache. TFTC

Our 5191st overall find.

Matt headed out of the car to grab this one and had to work out which big tree to search first. Of course he chose the wrong one. He also managed to drop his sunnies down the hill even further while looking and then had to go down and retrieve them.

Thanks to Mikey Moo for the cache.

No view today, found easily. TFTC

This cache was part of our holiday to the gold coast and sunshine coast. Although we did not go as a caching holiday only we still managed to find over 100 caches in our ten days. The density of the caches some of the areas made a quick 10 or so fairly easy. The only cache I really wanted to get was Queens Land, one of the oldest caches in Australia. The family really enjoyed the weather, theme parks, shopping and of course the caches. Thank you to all the people that have placed the caches in these areas.

Quick Find

Mrs TWS found this one.

Nice little park. Another quick find after lunch.

LOOK OUT FOR THE SPIKY PLANT!!! DID SEVERAL LAPS BEFORE STUMBLING ON THE CACHE. TOOK JEEP LEFT CARD

found it after a bit of a hunt

A quick find, although it loks like some may be living rough at GZ.

Tftc

Found some dirty bag with can of lynx and a lot of beer bottles but no cache unfortunately.

Was a lovely view today! Quik find. TFTC

Easy find based on the hint, but the GPS said it was about 12 meters away!. Great spot. Thanks. Took geocoin.

Found this quite quickly
Loved the beautiful trees
Could not see a view but am sure at one time you could get a great view of the coast
Left Trackable -geocacher All Seasons
Took Trackable bear

I left the hand held in the car for this one and worked straight off the car nuvi.
Despite muggles in the park, the trees offered great camo as I clambered around GZ.
Cache is in good condition.
Unfortunately I didn't have time to appreciate the view
Thanks for bringing me here

Nice place. I have removed all the cobwebs if you arrive today or tomorrow TFTC

Wow beautiful trees - love it. Swap some trackables. Sign the log. Thanks Mikey Moo.

This one took a bit of looking - but it was finally located. Not a great one for the wet .. sliding down the rocks TFTC Mikey Moo Left my new "Caching in Queensland" GC. Happy trails little coin.

Found it today, it was hard to find it but we found in the end. took some crayons , put in 3 toys. TFTC.

Found while introducing a friend to the game. Took TB, left Jeep. TFTC.

Found this while staying with friends we are visiting from the UK. Dropped off El Katto travelbug. Kid enjoyed the park.

Found a little search. Lovely view.

A great day to appreciate the view. Thanks for bringing us here.

Certainly a wonderful view and a great little park. TFTC Mikey Moo

Lovely little park rainy so view wasn't too bad! Great lol cache found travel bug taking him to Australia zoo !

Nice easy find in a nice little park. I'm sure the views were a little better before the trees grew too tall. Watch for slippery leaves! TNLN TFTC Mikey Moo

Dropped off "Crikey" the iguana, he can chat to the bees till someone takes him on another trip.

The.3.bears dropped off 'Crikey' the iguana so he can continue his travels.

Quick find. The bees seem harmless enough. TFTC

After having a bit of a fall here last September I thought I'd give it another go. The leaf cover didn't seem so deep, or maybe I've just got more experience .Nice quick find. Thanks.

Its as the name suggests must return here another day

In town to deliver Petunia to the doll show at Buderim. Took the opportunity to sneak down the road to find this one. Nice little cache in a quiet spot. The bees were busy but not an issue. TFTC

No bees again. Maybe they have moved along. After looking at the correct tree.found cache OK.."training" Newbies to our sport. Thanks Mickey Moo.

Nice find, no bees to report being so cold & windy! TNLN TFTC

Ahh yes, this is one of those "the other tree, stupid" caches. Gave the first one a good looking, and poking until I was convinced its twin was just as likely to have the cache. Found it almost immediately once I moved locations. TN/LN/SL Had to be careful on arrival as a muggle was playing with a child on the swings, but they soon moved on.

Nice trees, busy bees, happy cachers TFTC

Found on third visit from SA.
Was nopt going to let this get us.
Sure we looked here last two times but guess not.

found it just as it was getting dark so fortunately the bees were asleep. Took a toy car and left a green frog. Thanks.

Our first Cache found it was great fun with the kids!!!! Still plenty of bee's so stay clear.

Found the bees (no problems) & the honey smelt great!

Found the cache with no trouble, but couldn't find the view. The trees have grown up and the view not so visible. A very nice hiding spot for the cache. It was sitting there happy as Larry. (Who's Larry anyway?) No trouble with any bees. Could hear a few buzzing but didn't see any, I was too busy looking for the cache and then doing our duty by it. Took: geocoin Left: frog and 2 rings. Cache was nice and dry. Thanks for bringing us here Mikey Moo.

Stopped of here on the way home from Noosa Heads. Found the beehive while I was hunting around. Just a warning to future finders there was a lot of Mosquitos in the area so might want some aeroguard if you are hunting for a while.

Thanks

A nice quick find. Left travel bug. Anaphylactics beware....an active bee hive is located where you might first think to look. Try the next logical choice and that will keep you safe.

Forgot to "drop" the bug when doing log entry!

We gave up searching after Nawty had a nasty fall and hurt her back. We continued caching but stayed with easy terrain caches.

Finding the cache was easy - coping with the horrible smell not so cool. T4TC

A lovely weekend exploring the Sunshine Coast cache by cache. I'm glad we read the previous log about the rocks under the leaves. We stepped very carefully into the piles of leaves and still nearly ended up slipping. Thankfully The Marble found the cache quickly after I indicated the right tree. TFTC

The trees were so high they blocked the view but it was fun slipping and sliding on all those leaves. Found cache safe and well. TFTC

A day of visiting a couple of previous DNF's. With some success this time. A nice hide and Dan used his eagle eye to spott this one. Logged and replaced. Thanks for the cache.

Found this one on a week of caching at the Sunshine Coast. I'm sure there used to be good views from here in the past before all the plants grew so hig, because the views were a bit limited. The amount of dry leaves here on top of the rocks make this a dangerous place - make sure you have good footing before stepping. I made this mistake and ended up on my arse with a rather sore wrist for my troubles. I ended up sitting almost waist deep in leaves! Marco did all the searching after this and was very methodical going around the trees and this paid off with him coming up with the cache. Took the Travelling 2 cent GC and signed log. TFTC

Dan and Megan scrambled in the undergrowth for this one but still no luck. We knew it was there somewhere...sometimes you are looking too hard. Decided to move on today but we shall return soon and finish the job.

Could the next person to find it please have a look to see if the geocoin is there.
Thanks BirdFlu

Oh dear, my first caching accident. Slipped on the leaf litter down a small rock face. Nearly became part of the view. While trying to save my GPS receiver from damage I cut up my hand a bit so decided to call it quits for the day. Might have to buy one of those focus t-shirts. No doubt the cache was lurking nearby.

Found this on on a trip up this way for work. Gotta love being paid to do this. Non of the Pride with me even better.
Lovely spot thanks for bringing me here.
Can not remember seeing the GC????????????/
Cache OK
TFTC

this title really lives up to its name, unfortunately the bees were too active today to get to the cache. we then went to the Eric Joseph Foote memorial park nearby, another place we would not normally have found. thankyou.

Another strike for Black Ops.
Cache OK
TNLN not even foot prints.
Thanks for this lovely spot.

#789 (1/5 on a Monday afternoon drive). Nice little park. Troodles didn't take long to find this one. TFTC.

Found fairly quickly. Nice wee park,
TFTC,

We were barking up the wrong tree on this one but my 3 yr old found the right one!

We sloshed through the mud and rain to grab this one - lovely spot. We used the hint to help us out as it was a cloudy day but it sent us awry! We found it close by anyway. Thanks!

Cool brick trapped in one spot was a diversion. Helping the Subysherpas to grab some local caches was fun today. Should have looked at the first combo first though!

Not much of a view at present as the trees have got too big. However, there is an amazing view about 50m down the road.
Took Blingg's Compass to move it along.
TFTC
Forgot to get the clue so will have to go back for another visit.

Had a good look around, I couldn't find the cache. Lots of broken glass about, so I didn't spend to long at Ground Zero and there was kids playing in the playground.

Looked for this one for quite a while GPS all over the place , just about gave up attacked from adifferent angle and there it was , I should have found alot earlier, I also found the native bees, nice quiet road too.

Left Compass TB - thought appropiate as the GPS wasn't much good here, under the tree cover..

Our 19th find on a 4 day Aussie cache hunt .
Amazing trees and cache quick spotted by one of the team . Great photo opportunity, thanks for bringing us here T4TC.

Found it without too much trouble TFTC TNLN

Found it without too much trouble TFTC TNLN

Great hide! Love the view and there was a beautiful breeze which made the experience even greater. Not following the combo.

TNLNSL

Thanks for the cache!

Quick find. Evidently this is the only one of this combo still in existence. TFTC Mickey Moo.

Quick find with the little fuddleys having lots of fun today. this place seems to have plenty of playgrounds for the little ones. TFTC

This took me longer than it should have to find, nice old park and great view.

tnln

We almost kept going thinking we were in the wrong place. What view? I thought to myself. When you actually follow the GPS to the exact spot, there is a view and a good one at that. Took : Wolfman whistle. Left :Yo-yo and car. TFTC.

Was a quick easy find, i have never been to this place before so that was a positve TFTC

Found at 1040. Which tree well we found it soon enough. Cache in good nick.

Found it. Nice trees. TFTC.

Thanx fo this nice view and easy to find cache. My friend lives close to it but he's never stoped here... TNLN

Easy find, pretty street though trees now hide most of the view to remember. Didn't spot any bees. TFTC Butters_58

OK. The view is not bad... The 1.5 acres of land for sale in the street below is also impressive. So, where is my winning lotto ticket so I can live here? We took the TB and made some swaps. Thank you for bringing us up here.

Pseudo-Geek.
