As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it 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 (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 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.

I log a NA with reluctance as this was a great cache. Nevertheless, the CO appears to be inactive and perhaps a new owner could resuscitate the fantastic camo.

Wish i read logs b4 making the trip, wouldve brought a mint tin. Found camo, cache, as stated, is gone. Awesome job on the camo btw. Tfth

Quick find.Tftc

Yes the rock is there, but the cache is not inside. Needs replacing again!

Yes the rock is there, but the cache is not inside. Needs replacing again!

I'm a previous finder and can confirm that the container is not in the camo. The camo had been moved to a position near the gate, so I've moved it back to approximately where I remember it being.

Found location but the box has desapeared, need replacement... TYFC

Found it! Nice hide!

Picked up a lot of dog poo bags before thinking outside the square. It was hiding in plain sight! Didn't have a pencil for the log but left a present there for the next person to pick from. 3/11/14 13:00

13:22 park empty on retrieval, but sadly not the case on replacement. Log dry, no pencil.

I went to pick up another cache when I noticed that this was very close.
Loved the "camo"
TFTC

Definitely a favourite cache for the day! Number....thirteen I think TFTC

There was no log in the camo. Pk and i replaced it as we were in the vicinity!

A qaepag which happened only coz Pk and I were finding another cache! Lol
Tftc!

please give that a check-logbook needed
thanks

Found the camouflage container, but it had been muggled! Nothing inside. Great camo though, very impressed.

Turned over what looked convincingly like a pile of doggy do looking for the cache. It was a pile of doggy do. Lucky I used a stick. This section of the park is well frequented by dogs. Don't wear your best shoes!

Good time to come when it's raining, no doggie muggers about, nice hide & TFTC

A day out in Sydney geocaching. People with their pets near bye so not a good look, but looking at the spoiler afterwards would have made a difference, May be back, if I go to the bike shop again. TFTC

Took more time to clean the doggy doodoo I stepped in off my shoes while trying to find this one than it took to find the cache! SL / TFTC

Thanks

Found but had no pen. The entries on the log had run probably with the rain

A bit of cautious wandering around the deserted park in the rain, soon spotted something out of the ordinary.
I remember this was a velodrome once.

Great hide!

Hard find. Fun though

Watch for do poo !!

Found clever hide thank u

Beware the muggle dogs!

Turns out that we hadn't really found this cache at our last attempt - we had actually found another one that is very close nearby! Found this one for real today and captured our visit on "celluloid". Now we get the name, the camo is ingenious - I really enjoy these ones! "Green Guardian" in the Rocks, also owned by Nicky.b, is also really clever. Visited with Felix the spy. Thanks for the cache!

I want to make a movie about it.(TFTC)

Tres sneaky loved it

Felt a bit of a creep lurking around the dog park without a dog! TFTC

Lots of dogs and muggles around but they seemed to be minding their own business. At first we were looking for the wrong thing but after seeing a photo spoiler, we knew what we were looking for. Great camo and location. Favourite point from us. TFTC Nicky.b

First geo! Thanks.

Great cache. My first away from NZ. Thanks for the hide, Indiana Vaughan

Quick find during lunch TFTC

After finding the other cache located a few meters away, I entered the dog park and started searching for this cache. There were a couple of muggles training their dogs nearby but they paid no attention to me. While GZ placed me right in the middle of a small garden area full of small ferns, the only thing I found there was dog excrement! I knew what I was looking for from the gallery however I needed to expand my search somewhat before I was able to locate the cache (which was sitting exposed). I took the cache over to a bench but didn't sit because it was full of dirt, rather stood at the back and used the top of the seat as a rest to sign the log on. Replaced cache and container back in the camo and arranged it so the cache wasn't visible, which I imagine is how it was intended. TFTC Nicky.b!

It was very convenient having Amy the geodog with us for this one, though of course chatting to other dog owners was a necessary distraction and it was difficult to actually retrieve the cache without being seen...Tftc!

It is funny how you can hide a cache like that and so far I have done two including this one!

We took the geodog with us, but even so, my repeated surreptitious visits to GZ probably looked a little dodgy. It was a quick find (we have a similarly-hidden cache close to home), but in the immediate presence of many muggles, I was tempted to log the find online and leave the paper log in situ, but Felix (midmy7) looked disappointed at this, so I smuggled the cache and camo some distance to a park bench where we were immediately mobbed by several cute pups. We popped the cap on the cache and a few hundred small black ants and their eggs and larvae dropped into my lap. After a few good shakes, the cache was de-anted, the logbook signed, and the cache re-hidden. No muggles or kids seemed to have paid much attention. Nice elegant cache, thanks!

Cool clue, cool cache. Probably needs a new log book.

Found it

Waffney12 - 5/5/14

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Found it! Great hide, very well disguised!

Nice hide!

TFTC

On our track around the multi 'Come and play in Stanmore', we could not avoid looking for this one. Due to the increasing rain, the off-leash area was empty, so we could search around without anyone seeing us.

Found it on a wet day . Nice park . Geo kid loved the park .

Nice find . Nice park , geo kid loved it

Nice hide! Week day, just me and the whiff of doggie-doo. Almost into negative writing space in the logbook. ; )

Heaps fun...love the effort

A quick round of caches before jumping on a plane to London... Lots of dog walkers, one approached me asking...did you find the ....? (which I won't reveal..) lots of people walking around with their mobile phones, looking for it... Whilst I was waiting for the muggles to go...which did not happen, I even played with a young dog which was bringing me his ball to throw, again and again..
Nice hide, it won't fly away!
TFTC!

Nice quick cache, fairly easy find.

There are stepping stones in there, they are just covered over a lot.

A few looks from the muggles but no big problems. Not enough room to replace the pen I accidentally took from the previous cache though, darn it.

Thanks for the cache!

Lots of dogs and owners at the park today, but they were too busy doing their thing to notices AM and I doing our caching thing. The name certainly fits this cache. SL&R. TFTC, Nicky.B

CJ and I found this one this afternoon whilst out on our calendar chase cache hunt in the Inner West.

There are a few around here that we haven't done and we've been wanting to knock this one off our cache list. There were only a few muggles around at the GZ this time. The coords and hint were good. It wasn't too hard to find. I spotted something out of place before showing CJ. We soon had the cache in hand. We signed the log and replaced it exactly as we found it. Very clever container and external camo! A lot of work has gone into it.

Anyway, it was a satisfying find and a great day to chase down more caches. Thanks Nicky.b for your cache. We enjoy it. SL TNLN TFTC

That was a good hide #lol

Quick find. Watch out for the land mines!

Hard find

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Our ever first find! Ever so exciting. We're hooked! w/ smerce

My first cache. We discovered it under the cloak of darkness. A very clever hide!

My first find! A very clever hide.

TFTC - found it last year and forgot to log it !

Great spot ! Was found on a second visit.

Very clever hide and innovative log
Tftc

This was my first geocache find. We arrived without a pooch, but luckily the park was deserted. Great cover and the log book was really inventive.

I couldn't find this geocache, maybe I'll have better luck next time!

TFTC. forgot the geo dogs for cover. Admired the "artwork".

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!

Well, we looked a little suspicious sans doggy, but we did our very best to look like a couple of gals taking the air on a sunny morning!!!
We loved the camo - excellent and the log book was even bette. Bet Nicky.b is an artist!!

TFTC! Great cache.
Loved everything about it (including having Rock Around the Christmas Tree stuck in my head for hours on end)

We looked very weird rifling through the bushing. Very nice dog park. Easy find. Very cool idea.

Nice hide, but we wish it was in a more secluded spot - we felt very conspicuous trampling throught the garden without a dog in tow. TFTC.

#6762. After a find and a DNF, things didn't start well in the search for the two caches in this area. We felt a bit conspicuous searching GZ; hopefully the dog exercises were occupied in looking after their charges. I was pleased when Troodles spotted this nice hide. TFTC.

I found this geocache using the Geocaching Intro App. TFTC!

Really cool!

First find of the day. Thisis where I walked my dog, taught my girls to ride a bike when it was a velodrome..lots if lovely memories...with Sexyjomac

Found while on a big geo trip away with tmann421.
Sorry for the late & repeat logs as just catching up now.
A great time had, some wonderful places seen, thanks to all the NSW geo cachers.

Another good find with TuisReturn
We enjoyed touring around the area finding caches

SL TFTC

I am giving this a favourite fir the idea even though it has some pretty bug faults with it. No t1 never get a wheel chair their and in a spot that is bound to get attention. Great you provided something different and interesting. Tftc tnln

Nice hiding spot.

Found at 11:47am. Had to duck and weave between a few muggles to go in for this one but had no trouble once the coast was clear. A creative hide in a nice family area. Also enjoyed the antique enclosed, a clever log in fact. SL TFTC

Found on the second attempt. Great container.
Watch out for dog owners who seem to view with suspicion anybody who dares to enter their realm without a mutt.

TFTC

it was very good

Found. Awesome camo!

yayyayyayayyayyayayyayyayayyayyayayyayayayyayya

we were searching the dog park and a muggle said "are you doin that GPS thing? I think somebody
dug it up so whoever owns it needs to look back and see if it is still there

Excellent camo :0) having a lovely time wondering around camperdown

Took a few pictures of the nearby mural for a friend's project before making a quick find. Very quiet on the streets and no action in the park as the TB mouse took a dip. Thanks.

What a lovely park in this crowded suburb (with no where to park).
A dog person with 4 charges seemed asleep in the shelter so I was able to have a good hunt, even his dogs weren't interested in me. Found it, nice camo but didn't like the stuff you have to write on, my pen didn't like it at all.
SL & replaced cache with camo.
Just as I was leaving the dog person wanted to have a chat.
TFTC

I wonder what the many dog owners who were using the park at the time thought of us dog-less ones milling around in the corner of their paddock.

Night time attempt, no luck. Couldn't see a rock anywhere ? Maybe the rock is gone?

I found this geocache using the Geocaching Intro App. TFTC!

Came there. The place was almost empty except for two bored and chatty ladies with their extremely playful dogs. You know, that sitting-in-the-window-and-closely-watching-people-passing-by sort of ladies. No chance of getting to the coordinates safely. We had no other option than sit on the bench and wait for them to leave. It took them a good hour. When the area got muggle and doggle free, the cache was an easy find. Nice hide. Thanks!

Not sure, but the dampness of this cache MAY be due to a dog.....
Nice cache however. Thanks.

Went hunting for this one in the dark, which made the camo even more impressive! Great little cache.
