This one has been in maintenance mode for over 6 weeks. I have found this cache before and can confirm it is not there. I sent an email to the owner a week ago offering to put out a replacement cache, but got no response.
Agree with Code1. There was a possible hide, something like one we had independently found, but that is not the cache.
No sign of this one despite an extensive search.
Maybe a visit from the CO is needed on this one.

Few DNF's before us but after searching for we didn't find it either.
Can owner please check if it's still there please??

Spent alot of time looking with no luck. Looks like new garden in place maybe site has been affected can owner confirm.
We had a great afternoon at Birdland Animal Park nearby, so after they kicked us out at closing time, we came looking for this one. Gave it a relatively thorough search too, despite Thursday afternoon muggles, but nothing came up from us. Maybe some other time.
Couldn't get near it due to Muggles - dozens driving or walking past. I contented myself with watching the stork in the pond. I'll come back some other time.
Wow, how busy is this place! A bit reserved today so will have another attempt when a) I have more patience, and b) another set of eyes to join in.
Having just spent a lot of time on a 2 star difficulty, this 3 star was a matter of seconds! Found the cache exactly were I would have put it as well!

Very busy spot. I was in company with friends which helped me with the stealth. SL..TFTC
Great find- forgot pen!! will have to sign it at a later date. Quite challenging to look inconspicuous on a Sat. morning at this location:-)
Found #big blind team Tftc awesome spot... Lots of muggles... Had to borrow a pen from the motel reception
Top hiding spot, found it pretty quickly but then had to hang around for a while before returning the cache because of all the muggles
I found the cache and then walked into the motel and booked a room for the night. TFTC.

Was looking for a while before looking in the obvious spot and soon the cache was in hand (3

Attempted during a caching raid to Bateman's Bay on Boxing Day raid with Brother (NationalSteel) and Dad (GillandTony).
Despite the number of DNFs logged recently, we decided to try and find this....aas....no luck

Went on a Boxing Day raid on Batemans Bay with Geokids NationalSteel and EmnJared.
All three of us hunted around the area and couldn't find it. I suspect it has gone walkabout.

Please check to see if this is still in place we had no luck and would love to try again. JenneG & Budgy
Nope couldn't find it, even phoned Pprass who replaced it last year but he was no help.
I found this cache with hccatcher11415 and allrounder – they signed my name on the log as geo-munchkin.
I hope you don’t mind but, now that I have an account of my own, I’m backlogging these caches under my new name!
We didn't have to dodge any muggles.
Thank you for the cache!

Found at 8.46pm. A nice quick find this evening. No many muggles about.

Hadn't bothered attempting this one before due to numerous DNFs and apparent lack of owner attention but seeing as it has been replaced, it was a quick find in the dark. Thanks for the cache derf10 (& pprass).

760. Ducked out from the fishing club presentation across the road for a quick find. TFTC.
Out for a late night stroll, and some caching to boot. I remember the rock from when I was much younger. TFTC.
This was missing on our last visit a year ago so good to instantly see and grab this time. Tftc
With a triathilon taking place over the weekend, there were more muggles around than usual, so an early morning hunt ensured that i would not be disturbed..whilst "fixing a mechanical" on my mtb i choose my chance to grab the container.. Signed and replaced without being seen..tftc sltn
Stealth is certainly required for this one. Everyone seems to be into fitness in this area judging by the number of people walking by! tftc.
11th on a 2 day cache safari. Great clues for a quick find. It was another matter trying to replace the cache as every muggle in town appeared to congregate at our location. With patience (and way too much laughter) we managed to slip it back. Cheers
After waiting for the motel owner to finish sweeping the sign, and weeding the garden, I finally got a chance to get to GZ. The cache was easily found, but I had to go back to the car for a pen.
Glad to cross this one off, I spent ages looking for it last time I was here without any luck.

Realised that mum and I work well as a caching team, despite her general disinterest in caching! This is the second time in as many days that thanks to her prompting ('go on, give it another go, this doesn't mean anything to me, but I know how much you like it....'), I came back to GZ, looked again, and spied the cache! In fact on returning, I found the cache so quickly and easily both times she must be wondering what I'd been doing before...

On our coastal holiday and we decided to team up with Shinydragon and the proton for some caching along with two muggle friends. A quick find for the cachers with the muggles staring at the cache and not realising that it could be a cache. Thanks for a nice easy find to get us started for a week at the coast and a good one to introduce our friends to geocaching with. Thanks derf10.
Found it at the annual coast trip with stormcatchers, D & introducing J after mini golf. It was really smelly around here! TFTC.
I remember Hanging Rock well from the early days in the Bay....but alas it is no more. Really enjoyed searching for this cache as a sort of living memorial, though. After a few minutes, the clue twigged and the cache was in hand. Thanks Derf.
On holiday, walking back to motel, stopped to check if we could locate this cache. Found it quite easily (especially with the hint). Didn't have a pen so couldn't sign the log, but we did find it. Honest.

On our way home via caches. Grabbed this one on the way out of town. Loads of muggles about and and easy find with good timing. TFTC
This cache is a weird one... After reading back through the logs it is quite evident that it is a replacement cache that someone thought would be a clever way to reinstate it. Not so sure, as it is well below derf's hiding standards! Anyway, we get a smiley for it, but I think it would be best if it were restored by its owner....
Out with friends after some excellent fish and chips from The Boatshed, nice easy find once we looked at the right height TFTC
Found with Moo - Kleo (geohound)in attendance and useful as a decoy...

I finally did something useful during Team CaddaRoojaFOD's south coast rampage. I put the cache back because I had a bit of a height advantage over the rest of the team. Now if I could only find a cache.....
TFTC!

Out today with team CaddaRooJaFOD and after a few moments mr_roo spotted the hide, although needed DrFOD to replace it - shorty!! TFTC
Team CaddaRoojaFOD wondered around looking in all possible locations for this fella, hopefully it distracted the many muggles around GZ.
Well hidden derf10, great find jusojara, nice grab Mr Roo and wonderful replacement Dr FOD. I was there but suffered from cache blindness, spider fear and a few inches like Mr Roo.

Found at 1:27:32 PM GAFF1. After so many DNF's we thought that we had no chance, but there it was!
No - just kidding We replaced the cache as we just happened to have a mint tin that could fit that location. Wonder why the CO hasn't checked it out?

I think its safe to say with so many DNF's this may need maintenance. I also failed to find it >.>
We're still wondering where it is.
Searched the couple of likely places and couldn't see it.
TFTH.

I looked around but couldn't find I have tried a few times to find this cache but it still eludes me, I will try again next time. TFTC Sapphcoast
GZ took us to a spot where a nano could've been hidden, but nothing came to "light". Maybe we should've looked further afield.
Our first cache attempt of the day, obviously not awake properly!
Had a nice meal in the country club will rellies, earlier in December though.
