G'day,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as one that may need attention. I'm just posting to update you on what your requirements are as a cache owner as you may have forgotten or not been very clear on what you need to do.

The maintenance email you received would have highlighted what you need to do but [here](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=713) is a reminder.

- Maintenance: Visit your geocache, make any needed repairs, and post an “Owner Maintenance” log so the community knows it’s available to find. Consider updating the description, hint and/or the Difficulty/Terrain rating if it appears that geocachers are having trouble finding it. If your cache was fine, please indicate so with the "Owner Maintenance" as well. The "Owner Maintenance" log cancels out any existing "Needs Maintenance" attributes on the cache page.

- Disable: If you cannot check on your geocache within a reasonable amount of time, please disable your geocache listing. Once you perform maintenance, you can enable it and post an “Owner Maintenance” log.

- Archive: If you decide it is time for your geocache to be permanently retired, please archive the listing and retrieve all physical stages.

If you are not sure how to post any of these logs, then there is a great [help centre article](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=234) that you will want to have a read of. You will need to post an owner maintenance log once you have visited the cache and rectified any issues to clear the needs maintenance attribute on your cache.

If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to ask.

Rgds,
Matt - Ministro.

No luck for us either but the boys liked the history lesson and seeing their first cemetary

Naught to be found 'ere

We looked high, we looked low... all we found were bromeliads planted in every nook and cranny.
No luck finding this cache today. We took a wander around the cemetery after our search. Interesting spot.
Thanks anyway pirate63.

We looked for about 1 hour. 2 adults and 5 kids. The area looked freshly mulched around and in the tree forks. We agree with previous searchers that a grounds person probably threw it in the bin

Looked around. Not found

DNF, spent about an hour searching will try again soon

Could not find it! Perhaps a groundsman has collected it??

Arg, looked everywhere but no luck

Visiting the cache where I found a Round Tuit Geocoin to get the mileage more up to date.

Find No: 5012. Visiting from Newcastle, staying at Adder Rock, a couple of muggles were seated at GZ and she got a fright when I said hello, told them what I was doing and she said "There's a plastic box there, could that be it?" Took a "Round Tuit" coin, always wanted one of those, thanks for the cache pirate63!!

On our day trip on Straddie we were able to visit this nice spot, too.
I left one coin. Hopefully it will travel soon again.

Quick find. Left the family in the ferry standby queue while I did a quick jog up here. TFTC

Where are all the TBs?
Easy to find but no time for the tale. Have to catch the ferry.

Nice spot for a hide. No TBs in cache. The KS for the find

A quick walk with the junior from the park next to the ferry terminal while others spend time there waiting to join the ferry queue.

The smartiephone narrowed down the GZ, then it was only a matter of finding the goodies. We checked the most obvious place with no luck, then toured around and started to poke with a stick. This rapidly resulted in the familiar container sound and the log was soon signed.

None of the four TB's listed were in the cache. Pity!
All good here. TFTC, Pirate63!

Good spot very easy yet took me forever

Our 2nd Aussie cache, and our first in QLD! Thanks for showing me this place- a really beautiful spot, wouldn't have seen it otherwise.

can't believe i found this one. had been to the other side of the island for something else and had tried to do a cache there but hadn't charged the GPS so battery died before i started. knew there was one near the water taxi at one mile but was 7 pm before i got back there and quite dark. had never been into the cemetery before so had a bit of a wander to get the lie of the land for a return visit to find the cache. knew it shouldn't be at a grave so checked other possible places using the light from my dino-phone and shiver me timbers- aaaargh! found the treasure!!!! lot of junk in it but couldn't clean it out with the light i had and was wanting to get back to jetty for the taxi. got excited to find a tag in it, thought I'd found a travel bug. when i got back to jetty i found firstly that i had missed the taxi and the tag had no numbers on it, just the names Ruby & Kit stamped on it and that i had forgotten to leave my swaps. now had plenty of time til next taxi so went back to cache to drop them. have attached photo of tag, (there is nothing on the back) can anyone tell what it is that i have found please?? thanks! will go back during daylight hours on next visit to have a look at the graves xxx

Found on the way home from a beautiful birthday picnic. Spotted whales, dolphins and turtles today! TFTC!

Tftc! Too easy though for the first timer! No tracking bugs or coins are in this cache anymore though. Shall replace it and hope that someone else enjoys finding this one too.

Found it with some geocaching first timers - Evette and Winnie with Oliver and Eamon

First trackable!! Thanks so much, favourite cache yet! To future adventurers please be respectful of surrounding graves and visitors.

Dropped TB

We've been planning a trip to North Straddie for a while, but with the school holidays starting it was suddenly more expensive to stay and a minimum 1 week holiday was out of the question. So a day trip was planned for today , ferry booked in advance. We awoke to gloomy overcast and drizzly conditions but made the most of it. Traffic on the Gateway nearly made us late, but we made it to the ferry and had a good day on the island. First cab off the rank after departing the ferry. Easy find while the slasher dude did his thing over the other side. TB in swapped for TB out TFTC

Dropped off trackable, destination NSW

Lovely spot. Enjoyed a wander in the cemetry. Lots of boats, pelicans and soldier crabs nearby. Thanks for the cache!

Lovely spot, quick find. Tftc!

On a last minute off chance I had been invited to a small journey to Stradbroke Island. After spending a day getting around all over the place seeing parts of the island, we stopped in down near the water to get some photos.

Once I was happy with my shots I could not resist wandering up into the cemetery for a little look around and hopefully to find this cache. Well without much to do I soon was in the right spot and soon took a look in just the right spot as well. My name added to the log and the cache return it was soon onwards to dinner.

TFTC

Picked this up after photographing some flying foxes, kookaburras and koalas in the trees by the cemetery. Truly a great place, although you're right that the cemetery tells some sad tales. TFTC

Very nice scenery tftc

Tftc

I'm pleased that I brought Commano04 with me to do theclimbing duties. Interesting history here. Tftc.

Great cache! Lots of fun. TFTC

TFTC

TFTC! A wee day trip to Straddie and just enough time before the ferry arrives to find a geocache. Dropped a couple of TBs that want to stay in Australia, otherwise I'd be taking them back to Scotland with me.

Found several months ago while whale watching but forgot to log it.
Ooops!

Tftc nice hide

Found the pirate treasure looks like it was plundered

TFTC Easy find

TFTC went to the RSL for lunch then decided to go find some caches

Found while waiting for water taxi with noobie geocacher! TFTC - very interesting location, beautiful stories of the fallen

A pirate's parrot might hang out in the hiding spot ...

Found it, beautiful spot...

That was a cool cache. It was awesome to see all the nice toys you can trade.
Don't forget to bring a pen. TFTC

Kinda had to climb to get it but good cach

Dad has been talking with a "pirate" accent all day. so funny. TFTC

Did two of the three in the series. Talked like a pirate for the day. Entertained the kids no end - thanks for the cache. Very inventive.

Nice tree

TFTC

Nice easy one. Geomums first cache. Thanks!

TFTc !

Easter Sunday and a beautiful day for a family trip to Stradbroke Island. Unfortunately we'd left our run a bit late so it was all public transport today - water taxi from Clevland to Dunwich, bus from Dunwich to Point Look-out, shank's pony back to cyclinder beach and the pub, bus back to Dunwich and water taxi back.

First for the morning on the island and while the others waited for the bus I dashed up the hill to find the cache. All good

tftc pirate63

Found on my birthday

Lovely spot. Nice hide. Thank you.

With wemorris4 and geokids on a great & windy day on Stradie, took trackable "hops the frog" and moved it on

Thanks quick find

Years ago, I found my father, that I had never known. He lived in New Zealand. I visited him at least once a year and enjoyed my trips there. My father died in 2010, but it was not just a father I had found, I had also found a sister here in Australia and it was my sister, I was going to see this time. I live in Denmark, but have been here many times, but it's only the last t last three years, I have been GeoCaching, and never on Stradbroke and in AUS. When I was going to choose my Geo-name, I was very surprised, that Straddie was available, so that was what I chose.

On my visit to AUS and Straddie, I wanted to log some Caches, and this was my No. 2 in AUS.

Drop 1 TB and 1 Coin.

Found while on strady for lunch. Took TB.

Quick find with greenotribe as the cache seemed to be laying out in the open with all but its log spread across the ground replaced it and tried to camouflage it as well as we could. TFTC

Unfortunately the cache appears to have been looted. The container was open and empty on the ground found logbook and a few bits lying around but no sign of the 2 TB listed as being in there. Signed and hid up as best we could. Over caching from the uk. Left a race for life tb.TFTC

Tftc! Lovely spot

Revisited as this was a good place for the Pirate Travelbug. This would have been a good Island for pirates to explore and leave their treasure, get supplies and do repairs.

Out for the day with IolantheK, teamdfl, and Brother Colin to collect many of the caches on North Stradbroke Island
Easy enough find by BC and teamdfl, although their attempted subterfuge didn't work on IolantheK when they attempted to find, sign and return before she saw them [:o)]
The cache is dry and in good condition [^]
TFTC pirate63

Today teamdfl, IolantheK, T-tech and myself are heading to North Stradbroke island for a day of caching.
The of many caches on the island today.
A very quick find today and I quietly stepped around the corner to try and sign it and replace it before IolantheK found out. But she busted me as I was almost finished signing the log book.
Thanks for the cache.

Visiting North Stradbroke Island today with T-Tech, Brother Colin and teamdfl, on a cache-clearing mission. A couple of spots to search here, and I went to the wrong one. Suddenly all was quiet nearby and I knew BC had got it Was not going to be left out of the signing!!!! TFTC, pirate63.

Out galavanting about the island with T-Tech, Borther Colin and IolantheK today. No need for us to rest yet, we have only just started

BC soon had the cache and was trying to add our names and rehide it before IolantheK noticed, but we got busted She is getting wise to these tricks

We were heading home after a great day out on the island and I had time to check out this cache before the ferry arrived.

It took me a while to locate the right spot. I found a plastic bag in one spot. A cigarette lighter in another and then after reading that I was looking for a larger cache I spotted a likely hide and extracted the cache. The log book was in a pretty sorry state so I left a fresh logbook in a zip lock bag to keep things going.


TFTC.

A quick cache while waiting for the ferry . Dropped a traceable in

...and JUST enough time to grab this one between the bus and ferry home!
My buddy and I found it before running through the cemetery (careful not to stand on any gravesides!!) back to the wharf.
We had a great day, and I loved grabbing a few caches over here. Thanks pirate63!!
