One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

It's not here

CO doesn't maintain their Queensland caches

Like all before me I have to say I did not find the cache. It has only been found once this year so is it still there. Maybe a hint will help us if it is still there.

Looked all around no luck!

No luck I'm afraid

Had a good look around for 20 mins. Lots of hidee spots.
Arrived on wrong side of creek. Managed to fined a track which helped a lot. First attempet

Maybe it's been taken away?

Came at it along the path on correct side of creek. Liked the pen provided. All's dry and good.

Last cache for the day as the sin was setting. Parked on the wrong side of the creek as usual. Noticed a lot of revegetation in the area. Thanks

In the area grabbing some goodies from SVN07 and knew I had to get a couple of caches before running off to my next appointment... so number 2 for me (and final for this area today) nice easy find after a short stroll into bushland safe and well here today.

Another nice walk into the bush by a creek,I appreciate you showing us these places.TFTC.

Me and my mate brenton found this quite easily very fun to find decent terrain to go up and down but the mozzies got real annoying. TFTC

The papers getting a bit worn out, should remember to bring a pen next time

3.05pm. The closest hide to where we are staying for two nights. Just over 400 metres but on the wrong side of the stream. Found a way across and then after a bit of searching found what I was looking for.
Thank you. David.

Well another mini adventure thanks to geocaching!Parked in Sunnybay Drive near the playground and walked south a little way then east, which took me down a gully and across a small creek,not much water in it,then back up the other side.A short search revealed the cache,which could do with a new log book.TFTC

Lovely spot.Tftc SL Jumbucks

Just picked up the FTF at 'victory on carinyan' and thought we would grab some others in the area as this was new territory for us. After a short bush bash across the creek, this was a nice easy find.
Could use a new log for the cache though as there is only odd scraps of paper left at the moment.

TFTC.

Found it!

Found it! Very nice area
TFTC!

TFTC. Log a little damp. A quick find after work. #130

Caching with the family. Simple find, log was a Lil wet

Found on second try, take the mossie repellant.

Found it second time round, bring aero guard. TFTC logbook was wet.

Found nice and quick end up a little bit round about but a couple of mins I was signing log and moving on. TFTC

Out and about on the southside again, with svn07 and Brother Colin for another Binge Friday

We had dropped svn07 at home, but I still needed two more finds to be ready for a big milestone hike tomorrow, so BC and I headed over to this one. My GPS didn't like the tree cover, so since BC had already got it, he thoroughly enjoyed handing out hints for me. In the end my GPS had me about 8 metres away. The cache was exposed so was an easy find. svn07 had given us supplies to repair the container as she knew it was damaged, so we replaced the lid and dried everything out as best we could, then I covered it a little better before we left. TFTC, happyharries.

Love my ring!! Need a little TLC

All in good order, alittle damp so covered it up with plastic.

Tftc

Yay

The hole in the lid let a spider in the cache, needs maintainence

Lid has hole in it and may have a small brown spider in side it. Easy home for it be careful while opening until the lid is fixed, other than that TFTC

Stopped by on my morning walk to check on this.
The hide is OK, but a new small container and ziplock bag is needed before the rains start. If the owner could please attend this as the cache is none and really worth keeping going. Thanks!

...cache is *nice* and worth keeping, was what I wanted to say...

yay

Hi happyharies
just got back from taradarrapin had nice little wonder to gz and found cache signed log tyftc had a good timehunting.
just searching

Nice quiet park. Came in from suburbia, found better access later from main road. Cache lid damaged. Forgot to bring a pen so log went in signed. TFTC.

Tftc

Easy find with cleveland girl. Needs a new container. Sorry didn't even have a bag to put it in. Cache contained a raw egg which I think was left by muggles which we pitched so it wouldn't stink the cache out. Tftc

Out and about again on the dark side of town to collect some interesting caches on this mild and wonderful day and this was our 15th cache for the day. A lovely walk to find the cache nice and dry but the lid is broken, didn't have one that size with us today so couldn't replace it.

TFTC

Day 2 of my Brisbane holiday with tmann421. Another lovely day and quick find TFTC

Found but could do with a new container.

A day out and about in the area collecting smilies.
A quick find and as the last finder has mentioned the cache has a hole in the lid. I also placed this one up-side-down to stop it filling with water. Maybe the next searcher can bring a new container.
Thanks for the cache. The log book is dry.

Quick find before heading home. Was totally saturated at this point. Oh well had fun.

Tigey
(Avoiding spending the whole wet long weekend inside)

There is a large hole in the top of the container. It is placed upside down at the moment but will need replacing to save the contents.

Nice quick find. The creek was running swiftly after all the rain we have had this weekend. TFTC.

out for a jog. approached from wrong side of the creek, and a most undignified crossing.....to find the path.Then good coords rewarded by easy find. Container lid has a big hole, so left the whole thing upside down. Thanks for the cache.

After doing a round earlier this year with no reward, it was time to try again as I had a spare moment to wonder around the suburb.
Approached the GZ, narrowed it down to a area with 10 m diameter (GPS showing 5 m accuracy), and ended up to poke the same rock and stuff than last time. After checking a couple of most obvious potential hides, it was time to stand up and see if there would be other options nearby. And there was: a well suited natural feature was nearby, and when approaching it, a well suited cover had the telltale signs. At that point the GPSr insisted I'm 15 m off-course, but who cares when having the goodies at hand...

As previous ones have pointed out, the container will not hold water anymore and needs replacement.

Thanks, Faulksy, for providing a new, fresh logbook!

Beautiful location and walk for this one. Found quickly but the container has a large crack and no longer weather proof. Signed the damp log and returned safely.

TFTC happyharries

Pretty easy

TFTC

After taking the kids down to Wellington Point for some fishing and a swim, we decided to see what caches where in the area.

I believe my GeoSon will be putting his shoes on the next time I tell him to as the ground look good at the start but as we went in it got rocky... It was a good stroll through a bit of local bushland with birds in the back ground, at GZ it is a good view of the creek.

The Logbook was dry, however the container lid is cracked and broken. The way the Container is stashed in its hidey hole and covered I believe it makes it weather proof but not sure for how long.

TFTC

Out with Barb and Ed, This was a very quick hide which after 4 hours seemed amazing. The cache has a hole in it though. Thanks for the cache

Pretty quick find this one, but then again there were three of us searching. As with logs last June and July, container has a hole in the lid and new log book required. TFTH

nice quick easy find if you walk from the right direction

put some leave on top

took teeth
left green ribbon

Full of mozzies in this location, but beat them down and found it...

Attempted but no luck today. GPS didn't settle at all, so went through potential hides in the area for 20 mins, but had to move on then.
The path through the area was a new and pleasant find to me, so thanks Happyharries for the hunt and taking me to a nice spot in the area!

GPS kept jumping across the creek so I followed. Eventually found it without going for a swim.

Found shortly before nightfall with Nepeancacher. A nice little parkland to wander around. Thanks for the cache

Found with Daniel 2:22 and Sneakyhiderface. Lid broken & log damp. TFTC

Nice easy find if you follow correct path. Cache was a bit exposed so reburied it a little. Lid of cache broken so will need replacing at some point. So will cache.

You need to park in Archer Place for this one to get the right side of the creek. We then followed the path through the bushland and the cache location was spotted about 10 metres off the path. GZ stood out as a very likely hiding place.

This oen could do with a new container and a new log book.

I walked thorugh what would be an awsome place to hang out if i was maybe 12. After short walk up a slightly slippery embankment i found this one realtivly easily. the lid has a huge hole in it so after signing i resecured the lid and rehid upside down to hopefully avoid any short term moisture.

The cache lid was cracked and the contents damp when we visited. Cheers Gav

Saw a fantail here. Cheers Gav [8691]

A nice quick find on our mad Cleveland cache dash.

We were over this side of town hunting down a waypoint for a certain MCBC cache and had some time to kill before meeting up with some partners in crime. The cache was soon found and we were on our way to find some lunch. TFTC happyharries

Started at a job nearby so after an early knock off, what else was I to do on my way home. Quick find this one in a nice spot. Didn't have any troubles with the GPS on wrong side of the creek. Maybe I'm just that good. TFTC.

Part of out -"must get that one " tour of Bayside suburbs. Like others before us-wrong side of creek-then we had a long walk rather than drive, but all good in the end.
TFTC

Followed the GPS' directions only to find ourselves on the wrong side of the creek so backtracked and found a nice easy path to GZ. No problems. TFTC

We, too, followed our in-car GPS to a point at which the approach to the cache seemed fairly horrible, checked our paper map, and decided on an alternative approach, which turned out to be an excellent decision. We parked under 100m from the cache, sauntered along a lovely path to within 10m of the cache, and found it quite easily. Nice little spot, TFTC. =^.^=

Gotcha !!! Should have read the last few logs ...I to had to cross the creek and scrub bash to GZ . Damn the Nuvi. TNLN TFTC

I avoided Fangsoki's bad luck by checking Google Earth first and spotting a likely approach path. When I pulled up, I was within 100m of GZ... [^] I took a casual stroll down the path and made my way to GZ. A bouncy GPS had me going round in circles for a few minutes but once settled, led me straight to the cache...

A nice little spot. Cheers happyharries.

Yet another cache where I totally approach it from the wrong way. After crossing the creek and trapsing through the bush I found the REAL path. Walked onto GZ and thankfully found the cache after a small hunt. TFTC Happyharries Took "Have you Seen Me?" TB

could not find it very very wet, and millions and millions of mozzies would not stay there any longer to be bitten alive.

Found the right way in (well sort of... anyway ). Spent a long time scrounging around for this one. The location is just beautiful at the moment. Eventually found it in a very logical spot -doh-. TFTC happyharries

First for the day, what a nice little area to start off. TFTC

Nice little piece of bush in the burbs TN Left TB TFTC

Given this is a long standing Nemesis cache for ruzzelz I knew this place well, very well indeed. The cache seems to have been relocated since the last time I was here as it is now a straight forward fine, mind you other thought that about the previous location as well.

Thanks HH - glad to see the end of this one - unfortunately for ruzzelz it was replaced by several other new nemesis darkside caches during the day.

A little damp, but Ok. Took a cat and left some teeth.

Well I ended up on the wrong side of the creek as I found after crossing over to only walk along a track for the last 20 odd meters.
Never mind I had a bit of fun negotiating my way.
The cache took a little longer but after a look around to see where would I hide a cache I soon had it.
TFTH.

Lovely walk in the rain.
Easy find
Thanks for the cache and hunting

Last chance to searched, PHEW finally found cache....

Dropped off Weltenbummler

I located this cache quickly once my GPSr decided to settle. I bush bashed a little to get there and returned by the track. Took TB to move it along. Thanks happyharries.

Found a nice path leading to GZ so not too much bush bashing for this one.
Thanks happyharries

Just around the corner from our house, walked through here many times before. Took some friends on their first geocache with 5 geomunchkins in tow. It took a while to locate the cache with the tree cover playing havoc with the GPS but persistence paid off in the end.
Took Haughtons Hunters Geocoin and left Chile - March of the Penguins Travel Bug #1 plus swapped lots of other trinkets.
SL TFTC.

I had a pleasant stroll through the bushland to GZ. My GPS took a while to settle but I eventually found the cache. Took frog TB , left Haughton Hunters geocoin. TFTC happyharries.

Found it No. 1762 ... gps taking me everywhere ... took TB and Geocoin and left TB

Quick run in to find this one. Wasn't sure where to park [:p] Dropped off a geocoin. (cache mover) TFTC

Found at 0741. took a bit to find it with the GPS jumping all oveer the place.. Nice to be in a bit of bush in the middle suburbia. Cache ok and dry. TFTC.

nice easy find, nice little walk through the thick bushland today while i was out. TNLN. TFTH

found it took us a while as we realised we were on the wrong side of the creek dropped of TB took keyring thong

Apart from the rain, the terrain and the failing light, I had to contend with Mr Garmin having a tantram. Spent a while looking where the cache wasn't before stopping and sweeping the area with my cache eye. Spotted a likely looking "something" and that was that. TN/LN/SL. Lovely place in there. Must be a sight when the water gets flowing.

This is one of those caches that you drive past all the time and just mean to stop,
but you were running late/it was raining/was on an important call (hands free) etc etc.

Well, I finally just put on the brakes, got out of the car and went for a pleasant walk!

Last for the morning but ended up on the wrong side of the creek too. TFTC

FOUND IT AS CASEYLEE86 AND 80SERIES1990
