No answer from CO for months, i think this needs to go.

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

Problem solved.

Another DNF to add to the growing list. We tried PAF who seemed to confirm it may be missing. A check may be in order with so many DNFs now.

No luck for us today after searching where it probably should be.

OCW Brewmaker & GeoDudeAU

Even with the recent DNF’s we decided to give it a shot.

Plenty of room for little cachers under here but no cache for us

Tftc

Climbed in but no cigar. Based on previous logs I think it is missing.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Out caching with oldmorty and frazeydaze.
Search for some time, all with sore knees and bums, with no luck
Thanks

This cache was the most uncomfortable and frustrating of the day. On my knees, crawling along a gabion foundation, under a bridge, not being able to stand up and stretch and not finding the cache. Even PAF didn’t help.

After successffully completing the CO's fruit trail series it was off with frazeydaze and marj01 to attemp to find ten other caches owned by the CO. Of the ten caches we attempted, we found five and had five dnfs. Although we had a dnf TFTC Rainbow Spirit.

Looked at it. Thought about it. Will come back better prepared.

Hands and feet on the rock is quite tough, but once there is an easy find.. well after removing some natural cammo.. I think Spider-Man was here before me . TFTC

Great hide TFTC

good hide, TFTC

Found with Lucky Cricket and Little Cricket, Thought it would be more of an adventure then it was but still a great cache. TFTC

Had to use my caving knee pads. TFTC

Quick find, but saw knees.

Fairly quick find

TFTC Thank you for going to the effort of hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.

#3354 (3 of 5 today)

Today was another calendar day with a deficit of finds. So in order to keep up my goal for ***ALL*** 366 calendar days of having one find for each year I'll have cached, by the end of 2017 (ie 5 each), I was after a few finds to knock 6 September off the list.

Decided to head south west to Cecil Hills. Problem is that means the land of **Rainbow Spirit** and his high D and/or T caches. Hmmm. Initially intended to go for one higher D/T cache and a few of the easy *PAF* series to fill my quota.

But after a quick find on the first cache I just kept going until I had four out of four on a walk around the lake. Well, I'm surprised.
So, to press my luck decided to finish on a previous DNF - and got that too!

In the end I had five finds and not a *PAF* amongst them. Average D/T of finds was about 3/2.5 - give of take. I'm happy with that!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
OK... a **RS** 3/3. I wonder what I'll be in for?
Closed on GZ and saw exactly what. OK, I can do that.

Carefully checked my coords so I knew what side of the creek I needed to be before committing. Easy for the first bit (just needed to watch my handholds as there were a lot of wasps flying around - don't want to put my hand on one) and then... As previous finders have noted this is a killer on the knees. Almost 2 hours after the find one knee is still aching.

I was concerned that the find would be a certain type, and kept my eye out for something suss. Then I spotted another possibility as well. Great, more places to check - on my knees!
Finally decided to edge along in a seated position, rather than crawl - slower but so much more comfortable.

And then I was rewarded by the sight of something suss. CIH! Nice installation.
Completed signing duties and replaced - then decided to go out the other side - no wasps.

A favourite for such an interesting concept here.

Seemyshell went one side, I went the other, he made the right choice. Man those rocks are hard on the knees!

**OCW Delloro today, we decided to grab a few caches in the area. What a perfect day for a stroll, or if you have ever walked with Delloro, an Olympic Walking event...I took one way & Delloro took the other. I was the correct one. Hehe. Thanks RainbowSpirit.**

A great day of caching in Sydney today. The weather was working with me well and my legs were not to sore from yesterday. Came in from Waterfall and via Heathcote and Liverpool ended up in Hoxwell Park and Cecil Hills. This was one of many caches, thanks for placing it! While writing the log I was still wondering who could have seen me?

20/6/16. 1:51 PM. Cache #3934.
2nd of 3 finds in Elizabeth Hills.

In addition to my 3 finds today, I had visited "Up Here" and worked out where it was but will need to return to it another day with the right gear. So, I came here next. I parked, jumped a fence and started making my way down and around but before I got too far, realised I was on the wrong bank.

So, I had to get back up onto the bridge, cross over and follow the footpath before I take a similar approach to what I had intended. Geez, some knee-pads would come in handy! Checked out one hidey hole and was glad i hadn't reached in or put my eye up too close - inside was an angry looking huntsman, ready for anything. Moved along and the next spot was more successful. Woohoo! Signed, replaced and returned to the world above. Next stop, "Baa Baa Brown Sheep". TFTC.
} : )

Took a little while to find, more cobwebs & found a snake skin near the GZ, oooh.
Lotsa swallow's flying around under the bridge, I must have been upsetting them with my presence.
A little tight for someone with a dodgy hip to get into that Troll hiding spot (I am paying for it now ).
TFTC RS.

Pretty sure we knew where it was, were not gonna risk another wasp sting, that sucks

I had to visit our Cecil Park Air Traffic Control Radar site today, to carry out some technical maintenance, so decided to pick up a few caches on my way back to Mascot Airport. Rather than just jumping straight onto the M7, as I would normally do, I deviated slightly through the suburb of Cecil Hills to see what I could find. This was to be my 3rd find of the day.

After finding "Bridge, What Bridge?" I drove the short distance to this other "Bridge" cache. Parked the car in Wixstead Avenue and then headed over to GZ. Unfortunately the rain had now started falling so I was now clad in wet weather gear.

At GZ I got all "Troll like" and soon located the well hidden cache container. Yep, that's another D3 rating confirmed, and the T3 is pretty spot on also! Signed the log and then replaced as found. TFTC Rainbow Spirit.

Find #1047

Almost rolled my ankle getting to this one, seems ok now, easy find, liked the spot.

It'd been a while since i'd been out to do some serious caching and with the festive season consuming much of my time I was gratefull for a small window of opportunity to grab a few caches with steeba today. This was one of a plethera of caches we found in south- western Sydney on what was a very very hot day.

Removed the lighter from the cache and laughed as steeba ripped his shorts
Thanks

Teamed up with The Rats today for a pre-Christmas day of caching around Western Sydney. It was a scorcher of a day but we managed to find plenty of great hides.

A nice little spot for a cache.

TFTC!

Tftc. Another one Mrs Jaybeem decided not to help look for. Very clever!

Took me a little while to find this one - and man I sure got a face full of cobwebs checking out a few wrong places first!

Used the GPS and logic to locate this one and it was found fairly quickly. TFTC.

Don't think I've ever seen so many spiders guarding a GZ. Bailed on this one. Might try again some other time.

Was out geocaching with DrozzyD and decided to grab this one. Got to GZ to find it was heavily guarded by about 15 spiders.. creeeeepy! TFTC

Nearly turned into bridge of sighs... Thanks RS!

We watched geodad do his trolling from the nearby jetty. He tackled the wrong side first, but soon enough had cih. Future caches, watch your step on the east side, as someone has opened their bowels there :/. Tftc xo

Thanks, first one I've ever done! Me and my friend didn't have a pen, so we left a lighter in there!

Found it with justin7129 but i forgot to bring a pen!!!! Beautiful view!

Tftc really cool find but forgot a pen

This was a hard place for these almost 60 yr old bones to crawl to. Fortunately I looked over my shoulder at the right time to see the prize in its 'hidey hole'.

Found it

Awesome find, nice little spot, struggled to get out for abit but got it eventually

Tftc!

First attempt took me to the wrong side, but eventually I found my way. TFTC

Well that was fun also found a brown snake skin so beware

2 of 6 RA's caches today. We started from the wrong end of the bridge, GPSr nudged us to the opposite side so we went around and did the crawling bit (would be easier to be trolls). Recovered the cache soon. Thanks RS!

I think I found it but nothing inside cache and couldn't open it?

Havinng looked for this one before but choosing the wrong side and having an irate wife on the phone chose to withdraw and come again . Today was the day , a quick park and crawl had CIH quickly. Another for the August Streak . TFTC

You ba$+@rd lol SL #966 on streak day #400 TFTC I think

This should be T5 considering the injury I received. Thanks for the blood... I mean cache haha

Fairly difficult getting to this cache. It was a quality hide made slightly easier by the accurate coords.

Good spot, TFTC.

Had to out wait Landcare as they were tidying up the shore line, as soon as the coast was clear the hunt begun & cache was soon found TFTC

Took some effort using sore legs but we got it in the end
Nice hide

Glad im not tall!

All the other trolls I've visited live in higher star rated residences. The long, rough welcome mat was awkward to get over. And a concrete pannel of the path tried to flip over when I stepped on it.
Beware there are worse things than trolls here.

tftc

I like this cache as it required skills to tackle the terrain. Crawled along bridge and soon spotted where the cache might be. Searched for about 2 minutes and had cache in hand. TFTCM
Cheers

My find for the 12th of the 12th 2012.
Picked the right side and the right end first go. A nice easy find, for once it helped to be short!
SL TFTC

It took alittle work to work out which side to go in from as the GPSr was not clear. Once we had teh correct side the inital part of the path was obvious for us. We continued on and started searching in likely spots until we got to the right point and turned up the hide. We thought it was a little bigger than what we tought we where looking for but all good. TFTC

I parked the car and took a look at where the GPS was pointing, and I thought, naturally that's where RS would put it. I left everything I didn't want to lose in the boot of the car. It wasn't hard to figure out where to look, just a little hard on the knees. Thanks

Cheers for the cache
What out for the very unfriendly plants nearby

Parked nearby to walk to GZ, Once there, I knew what needed to be done. A little while longer, I got into the cache hide and caught was in hands. Nice hide. TFTC

Team found it but i bitched out due to my fear of spiders

Wish I was shorter. Tftc!

Awesome ty

Took a bit of retrieving this one! Luckily for my 6 ft+ caching companion, I'm a bit of a midget and was able to retrieve it with relative ease. Thanks for a great hide.

Meet up with the co at another cache so he suggested this one so off we went got to GZ I trolled up and under I went and returned with cih,cheers

Loved this one. As others before me have said - Sneaky. Clue really helps.

Sneaky but fun!

Woahhh fun

TFTC.

A sneaky little hide thanks

Great location sneaky lil hide thanks

Next on my list for today was this one. This one was my favourite for the morning. I came by here the other day when I DNF'd 'Baa Baa Brown Sheep' though I didn't attempt it because of the weather and inappropriate attire, I had a good idea of where to find it. My suspicions proved to be correct and the cache was retrieved soon after arriving. I felt a bit like a kid again retrieving this one, it was good fun, thanks.

Second find today for this cache! No mugglers in sight!

It helped being cold this morning as the muggles must have all tucked up in their warm beds, as there were none in sight. Geo-wife had the lead in under and found the cleverly hidden cache, thanks.

I found this without high heels. But, we had fun.

TFTC.

Yay. *FTF* On my way home seen this and a slight detour is on order, not too much traffic about so serch has began..... Mhh.... Try there.... Yes and fresh log. Not so good in high heels to do, but one learns to maneuver . TFTC

High heels at this one, I'm impressed.
