Wharf View (Combo #4) Minyama, Queensland, Australia

Since the owner of the cache hasn't contacted me, I'm reluctantly archiving this cache. If the owner wants to reinstate this cache, they should contact the reviewer that first published the cache.

Gone (to state the obvious)

Not Yet

Over the course of 10 days searched for this one several times. Today I returned knowing where to look & what to look for but still draw a blank. This one will have to wait till our next beach holiday.

Looked for 20 minutes but had no luck. Will have to return later to see if I am just blind or maybe the recent weather has dislodged the cache.

Well this one seems to polarise cachers according to the logs! (Easy find, or it just isn't there!) I swear we looked near and far, high and low, but to no avail. Will have to give it another go another time. I can't be too disappointed about not finding this one though, as the final mystery cache hasn't been found for ages!

Had a quick look to no avail, but hard to look too well with so many people around.

Really sorry that we couldn't find it. Tried three visits still with no luck. Arrow on our GPS going a bit random which didn't help. Couldn't finish the multi which was a bummer:(

I am surprised everyone is having difficulty in finding this one, the co-ords are spot on and so is the clue. Nice easy find TNLN.

You can add Mrs Bent and I to the list of DNFs. I had a quick look and couldn't see anything.

Now I just see that somebody just found it recently. Damn I should have looked a bit harder. I had little faith once I saw the other logs from experienced cachers. My loss. Thanks.

Found on a beach trip to Mooloolaba....

no joy, looks as if the tide has washed in a lot of debry, may have taken the cache. TFTH

This was the end of the line for this series today. Found alot of things here, no caches though. Thanks anyway.

Checked everywhere

Great place for a picnic. TNLNSL.

The hint was oh so true - It wan about 10 cm away from my nose when I went looking.

My 3rd attempt at this cache - and I JUST CAN'T find it - even with the clue.

Took a bit of finding as the gps signal was a bit flakey. Difficult avoiding muggles and as Mini GC and I were groveling on our stomachs we were approached by two park workmen who wanted to know why two people were sliding on their stomachs for the second time in a day. After explaining geocaching one of them was determined to buy a gps for weekends away in his camper.
Many thanks for another 'foreign cache'.

Did this third in the combo as we had lunch in the area. Great location. Wrote down the clues and went to No 3 combo.

Very accurate coords had us logging a find in no time, now for the final.TFTC

Found this one at 13:55 on a glorious day while the others were shopping nearby. Thankfully, there was no-one much around so I had a clear shot at searching, retrieving and rehiding it.

TNLNSL. Thanks Mikey Moo. Unfortunately, I won't get a chance to solve the puzzle on this trip. Hopefully another time.

Co-ords were spot on for this one today. Sat down and it was under my left leg.

TFTC

After the larger caches previously, it was surprising to find this one was so small....but in a perfect location.....lots of fishing muggles around.

After waiting around a while for a group of muggles sitting on GZ to leave, we poked around in the likely spot (and a few others). Didn't find anything there, except an old plastic bag that looked like rubbish. Pretty sure we were in the right place but didn't come up with the goods.

easy to find at night cause there were no muggles about!

TFTC

Here with Moneydork

An easy find for Moneydork Junior (aka Pohutukawa).
Well trained kids can get away with things that adults can't when muggles are watching.

Lovely night down here tonight.

many thanks Bitsprayer

Found in the company of Womblywoo. Advice for others - you do not need to lean over (and nearly lose your balance) to retrieve the cache!!! TFTC

Found in the company of lochb in the rain, she was able to lay hands on the cache after a bit of looking.
TFTC

Nice easy find. The coordinates were spot on. We were chased away by the rain, so we grabbed our clue and ran.

Thanks for the cache!

Thanks Mikey Moo for getting this cache up and going again. This is a great park with a great view. The Gang are looking forward to completing this series. We didn't have too much problem locating this cache.

** Coordinates Changed From **
S 26° 41.049 E 153° 07.191
Distance From Old: 45.3 feet
Hopefully this will prove a bit more muggle friendly.

Back up and running.

I've been given a friendly kick up the bum by Mtbikeroz (which I needed) and as a result I promise that the entire series will be maintained and up and running by the end of this week. Sorry for the laziness.

Do any of the users watching this cache know how to contact the owner???
I will sadly have to recommend soon if the owner does NOT reply to my MANY requests for help, that this be ARCHIVED. (And thus "The Cheesecake" too. All very sad, but has the owner gone AWOL, Fallen off the edge of the flat earth, lost interest, couldn't give a **(&(^&^$$(). )

It would be really appreciated (by EVERYONE!!!!!!) if the owner showed some form of interest. C'mon.....

If the owner does not respond/do something soon, I will have to sadly recommend this cache (& hence The Cheesecake) be archived.
Could the owner PLEASE respond, and/or replace the cache.

(Pity - I have liked the series thus far, and it would be a pity to close The Cheesecake from another nice area).

IT IS GONE, ABSOLUTELY, KAPUT, ie, NOT THERE!

IT IS GONE, ABSOLUTELY, KAPUT, ie, NOT THERE!
A B S O L U T E L Y !!!!

What a shame that I hadn't read the logs before doing this one. Anyway it was a great location for a cache. We will move on to The Esplanade as A View to Remember is offline.

Gone missing!
Regards Philma.

We arrived at GZ hoping to complete the series before we headed back to Canberra. Had to lover muggles having lunch. We were running short on time and assessing the muggles decided to 'break cover'. They were really interested in the whole geocaching 'thing', they even helped us look.

It was definitely gone so we couldn't get the series Hopefully we got some new recruits though.

TFTS

Looked high and low with no success. Absolutely sure we were in the right spot according to co-ords. Is it still there?????

Could not find it and we were sure we were in the right spot. Are we just crap or has it been muggled?????

We are sure we found where it should have been but its gone. After a quick phone call to double check we retreated without a find. Looks like no cheesecake for us today.( Lucky 'cause we hate it) Didn't find it with the Mad Myers, Urdera and Liz and Bruce. TNLNSL. Cheers The Nanks

The area is loaded with muggles and we had to return after dark to retrieve this one. Thanks to the Garners, it was well hidden and quite difficult to access.
At last we have the final clue!
Tomorrow the cheesecake awaits us.

We arrived at GZ only to find another family enjoying the location. We tried to discretely look for the cache but couldn't see it anywhere. After sizing the family up we decided they looked trustworthy indicated to them what we were doing... they had heard of geocaching and thought it sounded fun. When I described to them what I thought I was looking for they said 'oh, like this one over here?' and showed us the cache which they'd already seen & which was lying open and exposed!!

The contents weren't wet, so maybe it only became exposed today???

We recorded the appropriate information, signed the log, discussed geocaching with the family some more and then re-hid it safe and sound before returning to the car.

Top spot this!

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Her Majesty at 10:30am. What a great hide in a very public area. We had to watch for Muggles quite a lot. TNLNSL TFTC

Last one before the cheesecake. Muggles everywhere. Hoping the coordinates are correct. TNLN. TFTC.

Camping at Cotton Tree and thought we would stroll down this way and attempt this cache.Thanks for the hide. Great place for picnic.

Found OK. The last of the clues, put them together and we're off to the Cheesecake...

Cranky.Don =)

Easy find but stealth required. Filled in the log, got the clues and whats this? Sitting right at GZ is one big hungry man who had sat down to have a picnic. What to do? We worked out the coordinates for Cheesecake punched them into the GPS, looked over he's making another salad roll, how long is he going to be there? Looks like he has settled in for a long while. We decided to take the cache with us to Cheesecake, he is not moving and we worked out we wouldn't be long.
Back within half an hour, no one at GZ replaced cached.
Loved this series Mikey Moo. John & Terry

Camping at Cotton Tree and thought we would stroll down this way and attempt this cache. Took some newbies with us that had not even heard of geocaching before they thoroughly enjoyed this as did we. Thanks for the hide TNLNSL

Found this one with nephew Fletcher. Still trying to figure out the mystery. Thanks, Lex and Fletcher.

found with the furry camels

Took awhile to find this one, XF spottd it whilst i was looking further afield...

Sat down for about 20 mins to decifer the previous clue and get the correct co-ords for CHEESECAKE.

TNLN

Great day out exploring Maroochydore and surrounds. Thanks A&C

Had to wait due to moggles close by. Kids found this one for us.TNLN

Found quite easily by the youngest member. However, counting on there being a pen in the cache, we did not bring our own. We hurried back to the shops and bought a souvenir pen to log our visit. Cache was too small to take or leave anything.

i found it whilst relaxing on the beach after a big night out.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Beautiful location. TNLN.

Not easy looking casual with all of the tourists milling around, however had a small window of opportunity and found the tiny cache. Will see if I have all of the clues for the last one. Merlo. TNLN TFTC

Found this one by luck really. Was convinced it was in a certain place, but then spotted it by accident. Had to do a stealthy snatch and grab due to all the muggles around. Now that we have the final clue, Merlo and I are off to find the Cheesecake!! Yum!! TFTC

The freak family were walking back to the car after a hearty 11.00 am breakfast to find a cache not 50 m away. Persistent drizzle kept the prying eyes to a minimum. Found by the proud littlest freak. No time for the combo but we'll be back for the rest.

Found it before d.d.dudes. great view.

curtdog

Racing through and picked up the 4th installment didn,t have time for christmas present (cheesecake).Old curtdog,s hanging for it though! Battled afew muggles at this location, so it sounds we may have to go at midnight for the next.Great fun.

The wharf was a welcome distraction while I waited for worker muggles to finish their lunch break... and waited... and waited. Finally they moved on and I had the chance to take a seat at GZ and grab the cache and information I so desperately sought
The cache guardian turned out to be a baby blue tongue lizard all of 3 inches long. They're almost cute at this age
TFTC now it was off to find the prize. Mmmm, cheesecake

Easy find. No muggles.
Off to no5
TFTC

Had to outwait a nearby group of muggles. Party over....a nice easy find.

Thanks

Muggles! Muggles! Muggles! This one turned out to be a bit harder with extreme stealth required. GPS readings were a bit dodgy, but in the end there could only really be two places for the cache and Mrs weroamin swooped when the muggles moved. Mr weroamin and grandson enjoyed a swing. A very clever hide Mikey Moo. TFTC

found with Scouts_honur and Team Willy Wallies from SA

Was a long wait after it being published, we could have been soo close to a FTF! oh well, NEXT TIME!


TNLN TFTC

found with Team willy wallies after arriving in QLD this morning

FTF!!!!! Wooh Hooo. Didn't have time to find the Cheesecake!

Hopefully this spot will prove to be more successful.

Took me a bit longer than I thought to replace this cache. Apparantly this is a popular spot for taxi drivers to park while taking a break (at all hours of the day.....and watch wannabe cachers try to hide a replacement cache. I will be interested to see who gets to this one first and ultimately the final cache. Have fun.

hahaha - now you got us all waiting in anticipation!!

looking forward to the replacement!!

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... me too

It really annoys me to have to do this, but unfortunately the cache has already been muggled. A replacement cache is in the making and will hopefully be in place in the next day or two. Sorry to inconvenience anyone.

......and now for the big halt! Couldn,t collect.Sounds like it may have gone for a walk, for you rated this as a not a to difficult find.I,ll do as the others and hang for an outcome...ah well, over to the seats and wait.
Thanks d.d.dudes

Well we went this morning and again this afternoon and could not find the cache. We thought it would be obvious as the GPS zeroed out in a very specific spot. We were so frustrated that we couldn't find the last clue to go on to the mystery cache. Guess we will have to try again tomorrow. No clues on this one Mikey????? or are we just totally blind!?

We were chasing muddie waters on this multi cache and am relieved they couldn't find this one either. We looked in every spot we could find. Will have to watch the logs and see what happens with this one. Great idea and we really enjoyed it so hope no one robbed this cache before any one could get to it.
