Appears to have been a lot of water through the area. Assuming it could potentially have washed away?
From a friend who is local; I will have to come and check it out, and MOST LIKELY replace it.
A quick find on my weekend away on the Barrington Coast 
Found the cache out in the open, with water damage inside. I put the damp logbook into a ziplock bag, and have also left a new, dry logbook in a different ziplock bag. Also have left a pencil and a couple of treasures.
Hid the cache according to the hint.

With Beethin and cookie Kate. Found whilst taking a turn about the bike path.
We tried the sundial, but it hasn’t been adjusted for daylight savings.
Thanks for the cache.

Found with My Dad (DJANT) and my Brothers (dart16 & Jedi Anakin) I have my own account now and am trying to catch up to the boys Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.Up from Campbelltown NSW on holidays at Barrington Tops. Unfortunately no sun today so couldn't be a sundial for the day. Found the cache keeper inside so let him out before signing the log and filling with swaps for the next lot of geokids.
We are always amazed at the accuracy of these ancient marvels.
Even if they are built in the modern era

In Gloucester for the day. Saw that this cache is at the human sundial, and decided to come and have a look. The sundial is very cool. Geodad made the find. Thanks for bringing us to this cool location. TFTC!

Daughter lead us on a long adventure misreading the map directions but we found it
Sadly was not able to gind it but had a great time using the Human Sun Dial (which worked very well). We thought perhaps it might of been picked up by groundskeepers.
We have spent many many weekends paddling the Barrington and the Pignabarney Rivers but have never done a geocache in this lovely area. So having travelled down Thunderbolts Way we stopped here for lunch and a hunt for a smiley. We also managed to tell the time using the sundial. Pretty accurate too. Thanks for placing this cache.
Having just hike the Bucketts Scenic Walk we came to search for this cache which was soon located once at Ground Zero. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and for having bought us to this interesting sundial - the sun had just dropped below the mountains but we could work out the time even without a shadow. Greetings from Zimbabwe
Quick grab on our recent day trip to the area. Unfortunately a big huntsman spider had secreted itself into the depression on the bottom of the cache and decided to drop onto my leg while I was opening the container. I think they heard my screams in Taree LOL. Tftc
Driving from Sydney to Armidale and broke up the drive with a few park and grabs. Got the geomoblie within metres of the objective but looked to close and then too far once honed in found in no time. Unfortunately no sun today so couldnt see if the shadow was right. Duties done TFTC
I ended up stopping here and eating my lunch. Beautiful parkland, nice hide, TNLN thanks.
TFTC from the kayakViking - heading home from our road trip to Armidale.
Checked out this lovely park (yet again) and this time discovered a unique structure. Once we had selected the correct "A" for April we did actually get an almost exact time ! Very cool on a bright day. Then a quick look for CIH.
Cheers

Found it in the first place I looked! I loved this sundial, my body says it is 3:30pm and a check of the phone confirmed I knew how to use this device. I replaced all the wet contents and popped the cache back. Thanks!
The sundial was spot on the time. What a beautiful park and it’s huge!! Nice easy find tftc
This one took a bit longer to find as I kept looking in the wrong spot. In the end it was right in front of me. Good hide Took the figurine , left a hand painted rock. TFTC

Out and about in the area with AussieBen, Kingfisher_au, Banj_ward and Beary_Unicorns for a day of finding a few geocaches. 
With so many people looking for the caches they were usually a quick find ... one exception.
Lots of laughs, tall stories and a good time had by all.

In the area for the last day of the Hawaiian shirts event by grub Fred at Riverwood downs, decided to head up this way with kingfisher_au, brother Colin, banji ward and Beary unicorns. Never seen a sundial like this before but a great idea for the park. Thanks for the cache Grahame Cookie.
wow what a lovely concept in the middle of a park thanks for finding and bring us here
After attending a nearby colourful and fun event it was time for some geocaching. Todays geocaching companions were, Aussieben, Beary_Unicorns, Brother Colin and Kingfisher_au. This cache was found relatively easily, log signed and TBs visited.
Moving from Copeland common to the Riverdowns caching event, these were needed as group had done them on the way in last night. Nice hides and quick finds. TFTC Grahame Cookie
