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 within 7 days, 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 7 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

This one is no longer here. I suspect after all the dnf it had been found and somebody was determined to make themselves right. Will replace ASAP

I start by saying, this is just a fun & friendly game, amongst honest people...

I have found this Cache previously (12mth ago) I know what this Cache looks like, it's exact location, etc etc.

I returned today on behalf of a few fellow geocachers, NO cache was at the location, or anywhere near the location. I'll be emailing the Cache maintenance owner to describe to them, my previous findings etc.

I'm a little concerned with the Cache being checked twice in the past three months, never found by anyone, yet it still gets 'Cache Creep'???

Remember, this is a fun & family friendly game. If it's gone, just replace or archive..

Came back in my free time.

Had a PAF.

Strike 2

Could not be located again. We had a PAF.

Will return again.

quick check sees this one still there, a little bit of cache creep lately, but still here

Refreshed my logs and notes, removed from ignore list.
Ready to continue to properly attempt finding this cache.

Strike 1.

Could not be located. Will return.

Looking at the shady history on this one, I am confident that this one will remain online and unfindable for a while.

Instead of devoting hours of my time into searching for this one, I will happily add this one to my ignore list.

needs new log book

2nd dnf here, 1st official log.

Cheers! Ill be back

Still here, checked today

DNF. Spoke to a cacher who previously found this one. It appears that this one is no longer there.

DNF and also got ushered out of the mall by the security guard.

Tried to find on Easter no luck, still had no luck today. Needs a better hint

Had to be quick to get this cache. The security guard eyeing us off didn't look to pleased that we were "loitering". tftc

Too many muggles

A quick find, once on the correct level. An early morning outing meant there were almost no muggles around. tftc

This time I 'phoned a friend' and got the nigh on exact location she remembers and what it looks like. Bugger me if I, again, came up empty handed.

There's an asylum near Goulburn ... I'm thinking of checking myself in.

No luck today

I was sure the guards were going to get me arrested tonight. The guards approached me around 9:45pm as they were closing. I fessed up to what I was doing. CO ... They know of your cache but don't know where it is. We swapped so 'war stories' over my caching experiences and what they knew of the hobby (there was a troop of 12 scouts here one night caching but even 12 sets of eyes failed to find it ... I don't feel so bad now). The main guard even phoned his son, a former cacher himself, to ask if he'd found it but to no avail. So I log this as my 9th, 10th, 11th (I've lost count) DNF. At least I know when I return again, I'll know they know what I'm up too. I am so going to celebrate when I find this sucker.

So I know someone that works in the mall accidentally found this cache not knowing what it was. I've a feeling he's not placed it back in the correct location. Will get him to show me as I've searched previously and did not find

I found some beer coasters wedged in a crack, can I just sign them and get this one off the list?

This was my 4th attempt, even took a friend who found it before & still came out empty handed! Gggrrrr so fraustrating. Even approached by security this time! Hand were filthy black by the end...

It's starting to drive me crazy

Please check

As it has always been, slight cache creep but still there

I think I saw it but it's muggle city in there. I'll be back real yearly in the morning when is quiet.

I think I'll need a better clue.

after 30 mins with a crazed gps I gave up.

Please check..

Still there.

After over 45 minutes of looking I gave up. GPS was all over the place so I was unable to get an accurate GZ location. Searched high and low, up and down. I guess the clue can be interpreted in a number of ways. Tried them all.

[Couldn't find.] Guessing it was meant to be behind one of the pillars on the middle floor of the carpark, guessing from clues stating they where a floor to low, and that it couldn't be in the mall with 24 hour access.

Easy find if you go more by the clue than the GPS…. Nice Little Cache… TFTC

was not on the right level to start with then i went up one and found it

Didn't find this one today! GPS was tripping out next time!

So happy to have found this one! I have been having a "quick look" every time I come here for over a year!!! I confess, I did have to phone a friend and McCauley4 was at the Mall and came to my rescue .

Nice hide

Crafty hide. Challenge with multiple levels and poor gps. Found on a nice afternoon with Segway 2012 tftc

FINALLY!!!!! This took me about 10 visits and I'm sure I walked past this every time I searched!!! Phew this one is done

Checked this today. It's still In original spot from years ago. This one is tricky and muggle factor is high . If it's going to keep getting needs maintenance I'm going to have to disable

Had a bit of a look but no finding today here!

Okay people's, it's there. This is just nasty, We had to get help with this one! Far out. At least my obsessive hunting for this cache is now over.

After 3 visits for the Leskenoobs and 5 visits for our friend Mckaity -- we still had to phone a friend more than once (thank you sexygirlkel)! Great hide!!!

May need checking into.GPS was all over the shop but got lucky no one around had a good look but nothing. May have been pinched? My second miss for the day

I'm 99.9% sure the cache is no longer there. If it is still there, I'd be greatfull if you could let me know as its driving me nuts. I am sure I was at the exact coordinates on both floors and have inspected every nook & cranny within 50m.

Going a bit nuts with this one. Today was try number 2. Seems there's always a suspicious car park security or attendant to avoid..
I think I've narrowed down where it should be, so back again for another try (although I am starting to wonder if its still there).

After getting a coffee I decided to try again!!! And I still can't find this one!! I need to changes thinking on this one....... Any clues??? [email protected]

This wasn't anywhere near as difficult as I expected. Last find of the day so celebrated with a coffee and donuts from the centre. TFTC!

This was a tricky one - found on my second search - usually heaps of muggles around but I got this one in the pouring rain - got wet - but not many muggles about - no pen so went inside to the cheap shop and got a small pencil to put in.

We went a night for this one. After going up and down found it. Happy to mark this one off the list. TFTC Dogboy.

Been back three times. Can't find it!

2nd try n still no luck!!

Even though it was right in front of us we couldn't see the forest for the trees until we phoned a friend. Thanks McCauley4 for your hints.

We found it. Or, at least, we think we found it. We saw something that could be it, in the right place (near enough). But we couldn't retrieve it, either from the level it's on or below. We need a stick or tweezers on our next visit, I think.

haha a very clever geokid found this one

Caching today with Wilbert67 as my mentor, so this was the perfect time to chase down these pesky caches that have eluded me, like this one!!!

Even so, we searched the wrong area thoroughly until we accidentally found another likely spot, and eventually found the cache.

TFTC Dogboy 56

When I drove in I thought, ' Oh great, thousands of spots, and any number of levels, and crap GPSr reception' and you know what I was right. Not my favourite type of cache hide.

Tftc

Hadn’t planned on trying this one during shopping hours due to muggles but in the area so decided to give it a cursory once over. Actually spotted very quickly compared to my last public holiday search due to an open access route that allowed recon from a different angle and then a quick grab from the correct side without drawing attention.

Tftc!

Had worked out where it wasn't. Late night raid with BlueMars and Gribbly giving help (I think!!)

Found and signed. TFTC

Cheers - AH

Our first find!! yay!!

Yay! Glad to get this one done as it's pretty close to home and been on my list for ages. SL TFTC

Clever hide, took a little to find as gps drops in and out, ended up finding the cache about 20m from GZ. TFTC

Caching with the Chalk! And Bugjuice the kids love a late night out caching , good job Chalk! For spotting the cache. Glad to get this crossed off the list. TFTC

Found this one with Bug Juice and J & J.au. We spread out to attempt this one and right where we thought it would be...it was! Thanks

Torchwood Five Log 2

Mission successful.

Was not easy. But the mission was completed to the full of our ability. We made a lot of rookie mistakes, and forgot to look at the hint. This cost us $3.00 to go onto the computers at Video Ezy to look at the hint. Once this was done, it was still hard as we did not know where to go. When it was found, there were no muggles in sight, what so ever.

Mission report by: Cpt. D. Midlight.

Too many muggles watching last week for a grab but today everyone was too busy so a quick in and out and all was good.

Ironbark.

Quick find with geomum! TFTC nice camo.

Never been to Dapto before, good to see you new shopping mall.

There was an announcement over a PA system nearby....
The Dapto dogs were running!!! Gotta come back sometime!

thanks the the cache

Another good find, 2nd for the day, SL,TFTC

thanks for the cache

Finally found after a few hints from blue_mars SL TFTC

looked on various levels, but no luck today.

This cache has long been my closest unfound, and the bain of my existence. Being my local shops, I've taken many a chance to have a quick check of the dozens of locations matching the hint - but always ended up empty handed. I finally swallowed my pride and went the phone-a-friend option. With a clearer idea of the type of location of the hidey hole, I ignored gizmo and had a late night skulk. In no time I had the hide in hand, confirming that GZ is approx 22m off the posted co-ords.

I wont publish my GZ - because I suspect that the need for the wide area search is where the difficulty rating comes from. Glad to finally clear this one SL TFTC

This time it didn't take long until the cache was in our hands!

checked today and is still there

In company with Cranky Gekkos, looked high and low but no luck to-day.

Missed this one. Tend to struggle on car park caches. Also feel very suspect-like moving in and about parked vehicles. Will try again when in area in a couple of years time.

Parked close by and after several ups and downs I was able to locate and retrieve the cache. Putting it back was much harder as the security guards were having a convention near GZ. Appears they were trying to locate a shoplifter. After a short conference and a lot of walkie talkie action, they swarmed off. Then I was eventually able to put the cache back. TFTC.

had many looks around the mall working in the mall from sydney i think this one has gone walk about if it is trill here dogboy give as another hint so want this cache bad

Look around at everything "going down" No luck. alot of muggles about. 2nd time i tried to look. Got within 5m of the coords. Not sure where it is.

Too challenging again - one day maybe...

773 - 1 for today. Found on 12/09/10 10:02 AM
After confirmation of a find recently, decided to give it another go. Was expecting a tap on the shoulder from security after checking numerous locations. Eventually located the cache, glad to have this one ticked off. TNSLLN

Late night, iphone being typically a nuisance, and some of the carpark was closed of, meaning we (maybe?) can't get it anyway. Everyone was tired and a bit per it by this stage anyway. Spent about 5 minutes without the phone even taking us within 20m and gave up.

Parked within a few metres and had this tricky one in hand fairly quickly. Thanks dogboy.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Didn't find it on 15/08/10 12:57 PM
Had a look around the carpark for about 5 mins, no luck, another day?

I declare vendenta! I will beat this cache - oh yes I will

After a few weeks of recon on this one - had a go at a grab today. Had all the kids so the necessary stealth was pretty difficult. Narrowed it to one of two locations vertically adjacent - both match co-ords and the hint - nice one. Did find a likely looking pen at one spot, but felt we were starting to look suss. Will most likely visit at a less muggle friendly time for the find.

Searched all around this morning, going bak this arvo.. and hints!??!

Found with Tealby, mtrax and Marcus Vitruvius on a mini impromptu Wollongong invasion! A nice quick find! (Well, it helps if someone in the party vaguely remembers where it was!) Had a lunch stop here! The man in the kebab shop doesn't realise that he sold 3 kebabs today that he wouldn't have, were it not for geocaching! Thanks Dogboy_56

Reperio at 1300. Got to GZ, and straight away, the all our GPS's lost satellite reception. Not to worry, we just used our own personal walking talking human satellite to point the way, and soon enough, the cache was discovered. The kebabs we had were bloody beautiful. Highly recommend.

Gratias.

yeap i could have been alot hard if not for Tealby, just as well we brought her along , as we where near the food court we availed ourselves of of a kerbab or 2 , that hit the spot now all fresh and ready to go for some more caching...found with Tealby, Tankengine and Marcus V, en route the the 10 Year Event
