someone needs to go out and check if this cache has been muggled or at least go and replace it please.
The area has been remulched I think it would be good to go and check the cache in case its not there, we found quite a few sm
pots we thought was it, but no luck.

Stopped for fuel so of course we had to do this cache. Rusty85 was getting into the spirit when i suddenly spied something, you are kidding. TFTC
I managed to scratch this one up within the time it took to drink a cup of coffee. TFTC
Driving back from a trip to the sunny coast, I thought I would check in on this one after a previous DNF. Fortunately I was able to locate and sign a cache this time around, although the CO is best to return to the GZ and place a replacement cache with a better container to avoid it being treated like litter and thrown out. Tftc
Sad - son (OzGuff) returning to USA;
dropped in for petrol fill on way to Airport!!
Found with OzGuff April 2.

Dad and I were driving from Maleny to Brisbane so that I could head back to the States. We stopped here to top off the petrol -- the gas tank still showed full when we turned in the hire car -- and to find one last cache as father and son.
The GPSr was a little off for us so we just used the hint provided by the replacer. Found it after a couple of minutes.

Heading home today after a holiday in Hervey Bay. A pit stop to top up the kids and check the fuel level was needed so BP will do nicely. Without even knowing I pulled up in the shade down by the truck parks and after sorting the family out with food I thought I might check for a cache while we were here. Ah, sweet theres one just over there. The Mrs rolls her eyes at me and thats all I needed, I was off.
I searched for what seemed like for ever without any luck. Resorted to reading past logs and thats when I noticed all the DNF's and no finds for the last five months. The place looks like it gets a lot of traffic or that could just be us, I don't know.
Being a popular pit stop for muggles and geocachers I managed to piece a cache together and hid it at the GZ I had. So with the CO's permission I am logging this one.
THE CACHE IS NOW A SMALL RED TUBE AT THE BASE OF A TREE. WHILE SEARCHING FOR THE ORIGINAL I FOUND A FUEL CAP, IT IS SITTING ON TOP OF THE CACHE. JUST MAKE SURE YOU COVER IT WELL.
Thanks happyharries

Many DNF's. Could the co please check to see if the cache is still in place. Thanks.
Oh no not again. Another DNF on this one for us. After reading the previous logs, we were not hopeful about this one. We searched and searched. Maybe the CO could check on this one.
Not a lucky day on the cache finding for me today. Stopped here as I had found one across the highway a little while back. Looking at the recent logs I would be very surprised if this one hasn't been muggled...
Came a few month ago with a friend and found it but wasn't an official geocacher it came back to add this one to my list and couldn't find
I was a little off target and looking on the wrong side at first, once I went to the other side it was a quick find, tftc.
Out after midnight taking geo niece home after night out finally found this one
Tried last night was unsuccessful but daylight help great cache left a trackable with Dbay scouts
Second attempt at this one , area has been cleared , looked all over and didn't find it.
Big day up the sunny coast at the Parkos event, and this was the last stop of the day on the way back to Brisneyland. Excellent weather for us today
We stopped nearby for petrol and caffeine and cookies and I insisted we look for this cache.
We had a torch and mobi flashlight and after looking one side, we moved over to the other side and made a quick find. Good sized cache in good condition. A cute picture on the listing helped to pin down the right spot to hunt.
Can't wait to get home and have a nice hot shower!

On a nice little roadtrip today from Brisbane to attend the 31 Days of Geocaching - The Last Day event at Ewan Maddock Park, with Ms Maddy and Whird.
Last stop for the day on the way home. Coffee and such was collected as well as a full tank of fuel (no chance of sleeping in the car now) before heading over to the GZ for this little cache.
With three DNF's I was a little skeptical if we would find it, but always willing to give it a go. The hunt begun looking here looking there, but nothing. There is always plenty of spots to look in a place like this and a torch was definitely the friend this evening.
Taking a good look at the information I had available, I made a change to my approach and found a good place to start looking, when my torch light glinted on something. What do you know a familiar sight. The log book was soon signed and we were on the way back to Brisbane and a well earned rest.

Had a search in the area but couldn't locate it. Not sure if muggled. CO to check?
Finally logging! Sorry for the delay.
Was at the Sunny Coast to compete in Tough Mudder and thought I'd get a few caches in aswell.

I had to refer to previous logs on this one as the GZ was not quite near the cache. After I broadened my search I eventually found the cache. No trackable found in cache, however there is now as I have left a Kangaroo tb which I picked up in melbs and subsequently incorrectly logged as dropped at another cache. Hoping next person who logs tb find can correct records as I didn't note the code tftc
On my way to a quilt show in Brisbane. I too was very aware of what the truck drivers sitting in their rigs must have thought of the crazy lady. I pretended I was looking for a bird and took a few photos as my alibi. TNLNSL TFTC
For some reason my first log didn't upload. Took Bells & Whistle trackable and moved it further downstream. It always makes me giggle thinking what muggles think as we disappear into gardens in the most random places. TFTC and a giggle.
We found this last year but stopped to drops some trackables off. Our profile doesnt have it as a smiley so I will log it now

On our way home from my family's big day out caching to celebrate my birthday C Sister and I stopped here with my dad in tow. Just like our first cache of the day (the northbound version) it was my newbie dad who picked this one up straight away. He's become a caching expert today
What an amazing day!

We tried to do the Northbound one a few weeks ago with no success - and this one was not looking promising after searching for a while. But eventually we spotted the cache. TNLNSL TFTC
TFTC. Easy find. Another one of those times you have to wonder what the people watching you must think you are up to. Thanks!
Out and about with teamdfl for a Friday binge day This could be a very difficult place to search, but fortunately it was deserted today. After a bit of a search dfl eventually came up with the goods. TFTC, happyharries.
Out on a Freaky Friday with IolantheK. I have zoomed passed this one so many times. I have stopped a couple of times, but there have been people around GZ. All clear today. We had a bit of a hunt for this one;-)
A find for the journey home. I wanted to get this one before but I am glad I had company this time otherwise I would feel very exposed! The ground was very damp but at GZ, the cache was nice and dry. Just have to nip over the road now to get its twin. TFTC
Well not so micro. lots of moggel truck drivers around but all clear once there all in good order TFTC
I found this cache today at 1245. Quick find.
Took TB and will place in another cache soon as I am on a roadtrip to NSW at the moment.
Cache and log in good order.

Cache number thirtyfive and the last cache for me whilst caching with the MEG #3 group. By now it was just P Prime, La kedi and censations. We got to GZ and we were given a hint by La Kedi so i dove in and found the cache.... Then it started raining so i told the others to go back to the car and gave them my phone to protect, i grabbed the tb, replaced the cache and ran to the car. Thanks for the cache
Our last cache find for the day while finding others around Sunshine Coast. Thanks
TFTC. Cache was out in the open partially covered. Had to wait for some trucks to vacate area before recovering cache with some debris from nearby trees.SL TN left frog.
I had to head to Brisbane today for work (visiting the Qld Police Service!), and stopped here on the way. We'd passed by this cache many times, but as I was travelling solo today, today seemed a good time to stop. Besides, I had time to spare (just!).
I parked (next to a police van, by the way, but that's really not relevant) and set off. I was in my work clothes, so was trying not to get dirty or wet. I got wet. Lots of dew. I found some trees down after the recent flooding and wild weather. And there near one was the cache lying exposed.
I signed, and made a token attempt to cover. There wasn't much around to cover it with, and I wasn't sure if it was still in the intended location. Perhaps the CO should take a look sometime.
TFTC, happyharries. #244.
BTW, I was well and truly dried out by the time I reached QPS HQ, thanks for asking.

On the way back from a church camp. Thought we'd stop by for a drink at the servo and a cache. TFTC Barry the guide dog says hi!
Found with stairman1 and geodog. We were heading up to an event at the sunny coast and seeing this was on the way we had to grab it. We had trouble a while ago with this one but luckily today it was easy. Lots of muggles around but we managed to use geodog as a decoy as stairman1 grabbed the container. Didn't see any bug in here though Thanks happyharries
On my way home from Maryborough where I visited my daughter who is attending AJ2013 (scout Jamboree).
Don't you hate that. You can't find the cache. Twice. And then your own travel bug is placed in the cache. Grrrrrr........
Found it. Woo Hoo =D

On way back from Fraser chomping on maccas decided to give this cache a go. Was fun in the dark as torches were packed in bottom of cases in car. Did a bit of crawling around and presto geo hubbie finds it. TFTC!
Had a bit of a hunt but not much patience after nightshift and two other dnfs earlier in the dark. Maybe another day. Plenty of trails from other cachers/dogs, and bad GPS wander.
Overcast & Raining playing havoc with GPS. Ended up Wet and Frustrated, will revisit on a better day.
Epic fail! You pwned us n00bs... Agghhh. Second visit. Second fail. Eat an ice cream. Fail again. Looks like this is a nemesis cache for the amphibian nation. And I still haven't visited the other side of the road.
Goldielover and I pulled the geomobile up pretty close to GZ. Goldielover made for the cache and a near by muggle came over to see if we were caching. Seemed quite interested before leaving. We resumed the hunt and quickly located the cache. All in good condition.

Found with stairman1. We had some muggles ask us if we geocachers. Do we look that obvious[?] After a chat with them they let us do what we do best. Find a cache It was a quick find. All in order, TFTC

Left RING Took BUTTON.. last cache for the trip we have just done 20,000 k's & lots of caches found TFTC
Grabbed this one after a trip up to Maroochydore for work having passed it numerous times over the last few months.
After grabbing a bite to eat I drove down and parked close by. A short walk to GZ and a quick search had the cache in hand. Added our name to the log and placed it back in its post
Cache is all good and the log dry.

We were up at Caboolture for a home schooling excursion at the Caboolture Historic Village today.
We had been getting so close to 600 and were looking for a good cache, around our area, for that milestone.
When we spotted this one we just had to do it and it fitted great. Wonder why??
Well we adopted "BP Gold (Northbound)" from HappyHarries this caches CO due to them moving out of the area.
So visiting our adopted caches relative just had to be THE MILESTONE for the 600TH!!!
This was a fitting tribute to them and symbolic that we had headed NORTH for today and then would head back SOUTH.
Thanks HappyHarries TFTC SL TSLS Your baby is doing fine.

Sometimes I make things harder than they have to be . We did a driver swap here with both geokids asleep so I jumped out to grab the cache. Apparently the co-ords took a little while to catch up for me do instead of going out and back in I went through. Stumbled through a spider web and fell into some dead branches that I knocked off. I was thinking of a new moniker for our game "geocaching, destroying gardens since 2000". I'm usually do careful! TFTC
at 14:31. We found BP Twins ( Northbound) on a previous trip and had a quick look for this one on our way back without success. It seems we didn't DNF it as a couple of others had already failed and we wrongly assumed it was gone. It was found a few days later and we decided then to have a more thorough look next time we had the opportunity.
Just over 3 years later the opportunity came and we were determined to get it this time. We did.
TFTC Happyharries. The cache is fine.

Our south bond run saw us pick up Buchanan Scram, Time to Dial for a Sign and BP Twins (South Bound)
At Buchanan Scram the GPSr put us in the middle of the road so we did not stay there. We went over to one of the two obvious features. Nothing on the first or perhaps its well hidden so we thought to check the second before getting into more detail. A short search and it turned up. Certainly a different container. We completed the signing duties and re hid.
Off to Time to Dial for a Sign and it was a short walk in for a quick find in the obvious spot. A quick sign of the log and away we went again.
At BP Twin (south bound) it was good to see this ones saw just far enough away from the general muggles and still close enough for people to grab on a short stop. Our initial GZ showed up an area where many had obviously search before ( we don't really like flax grass ). We searched around for a while and could not turn up what should have been an easy find of a reasonable sized container. We extended our search in the direction of the cache name and then found it about 6m away from where we had been looking. We took the travel bug and re hid after signing the log.

This one was very easy to find. Left tb.
Thanks for the cache.

I was heading home from an FTF out Ningi way, in the company of Ninnesfamily. We figured there was still enough time to fit a couple more in on the way home. So we pulled the monster truck up close to GZ and started the search. Searching in one area was producing nothing. A quick look in the logs....hmmm, this is supposed to be an easy find. I widened my search area. And sure enough there was the cache, but unfortunately so was the tree. OW! Silly thing got me right across the bridge of my nose and eye. So stumbling from the bushes I announced that the cache had been found and that Ninnesfamily should come and check over here.
