Hi ThaFlava,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm 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 45 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 listing and post a new note every 45 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Couldn’t find it took about 30 mins then started to get dark

Went back on Saturday and spent about 1 whole hour looking. Me and my mum thought we were into something but just ended up getting our shoes muddy. Will be going back shorty.

Husband has cache in hand pretty quickly, good little hiding spot! Cache log is extremely wet couldn’t take it out- photo as proof of find! TFTC

I could not find it!! Like this is my first search but I am not sure what i am really looking for haha.

We, looked high and low, we looked for it hanging and eventually we even wondered if it could be magnetised somewhere but we just couldn't find it. We will be back!

Did not find need a hint please I need to find my first cache

Tricky but it finally came loose

Very good place we could not find it then we found it

well placed , took about 30 mins. not affected by flood debris

we spent maybe 20-25 minutes looking on the bridge and couldn’t find it

Didn’t bother to spend much time here. There’s so much debris and damage from the recent floods, it’s hiding place may well be buried under copious flood debris, or washed away. It’s obvious that the water was flowing above the level of the foot bridge.

Took my daughter out to find her first geocache with me but no luck

First day doing Geocaching but couldn’t find it for the life of me

Third time lucky! I was just about to leave again when I came across something that seemed out of place. It was a bit tight but soon came free. I also added a dry log. TFTC

good find

Nice hide in a quiet location, log to grose to sign, could do with replacing. Have photo of proof of find TFTC

Found within moments. Thought we were on to something but then we got the find! Tftc

Nice hide. You can find it without getting covered in cobwebs!

Didn't take as long as we thought, so clever! Also paper is a bit gross!

It took me literally a hour and a half to find it till my mate told me when they found it bruh it’s hard it’s not small

Found this a while back and forgot to log it-sneaky hide but spotted it quickly. TFTC

Was a very sneaky cache and we had looked for it for hours!! with a little help from someone we were able to find it!

i cant find t any hints??

Very clever hide !

Good spot! 1st of the day with minty_crisis

Today I teamed up again with marj01 for another day of caching, this time around the Narellan/Camden/Cobbity areas. We had a very enjoyable and adventurous day visiting the cache locations, finding a heap of hides but also a few DNF's along the way.
A quick find of this very clever cache. FP for sure. TFTC.

Ocw oldmorty
Have a FP
Thanks for the cache

Not Saying tftc when the cache guardian was there

Found it

4 attempts at finding this 3 times out with my partner the last one with my partner and mate finally my partner found it really good location excellent camouflage

Took a couple of attempts but finally found it! Very clever hide.

Maintenance complete

Container replaced. Log book replaced.

Temporarily disabling to rectify an issue with not being able to open the container. Be back soon.

TFTC
In the area, sorting out some GeoBusiness, and made a quick find of this one.
Cheers

Couldn’t find it maybe container was taken or washed away due to the Harvey down pours we have had

Taking advantage of house/dogsitting in the area to tick off some nearby caches. Easy find but as others have reported, unable to open container. Photo proof available on request.

Found with nissan 65 9n a day caching before we head to homebush to see Phil Collins tonight. Unable to open to sign log Thanku for the cache

Found with cullum68 on our way to sydney to see Phil Collins concert thank you for the cache unable to open to sign log

Did not find. Maybe it has been taken??

Detour on the way home from a morning bike ride to grab this one.

Cheers

Finally found it after a few attempts. Had a better chance without the kids in tow. Got CIH but wasn’t able to open the container to sign the log

Look hard but DNF. We will try again another time!

Found it. Great camo but could not open to write on log.

Found it. However could not open the container to log the cache. Very good camo.

Found it after a bit of systematic searching, but like others I couldn't get it open to sign the log. Needs a bit of attention from the CO. Have a photo if CO wants proof of the find, but I won't attach it as it will be too much of a spoiler.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Found it but couldn’t open it to access the log book unfortunately. Can anyone confirm if this is it?

Had a decent look around, unfortunately didn't find it, seen where it might have been.

#4206 (2 of 10 today)

My goal of having five finds per calendar day by year's end continued apace - and I'm closing in on my target! At the beginning of this month I only had five days to go - each needing only the one find. Well one of those days was 2 days ago, and another was today.
As usual overkill is generally the object, so needing one find today I got 10. Will help with this year's GeoActivity - I think I got the first week's points target by myself on day one...

In the end I grabbed ten (including an event) and was muggled out of another. Good day.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Parked behind the nudists' SUV - pretty obvious by the sticker on their back window - and made my way to GZ via the windmill.

Checked a few spots and only one thing looked out of place - but I couldn't get it to move. After another 10 minutes of nothing, decided to go back to *The Hademobile* for a tool.

Returned and soon had CIH! Nicely done, but can get wedged a bit too hard. A favourite nonetheless.

Completed signing duties - log is damp - and replaced. Should be easier for the next finder.

#4191- We arrived at the windmill to find that the cache was still about 40 odd metres away. I do always like these historic spots. What someone said makes more sense now.... looked in a few spots, noted the terrain and bikerbuddy had CIH. Thanks

Got to within 2m of GZ and I had photos of the cache, but could not find it. there was one place I didn't look, but I was not ready to get my feet and knees wet and muddy...maybe some other time.

Our 3rd attempt at this one. Dan scrambled around getting covered in cobwebs and pine needles. In the meantime, Sue found the well disguised hide. Dan was so happy, he gave Sue a congratulatory hug. Sue wasn't too happy about all the cobwebs that were transferred to her. TFTC

Last day of holidays called for a caching day. This one was first on the list as it was located near rassilon256. The rain poured down as I scrounged around for the cache as rassilon256 looked on. A hint didn't go astray and the log was signed and cache returned. TFTC

A rare day off for both llama_boy and I started at my place, and as this was the only cache nearby and a good hide I suggested it be his first for the day. With the rain we had both neglected to check for setting in, he made a methodical search and quick find and we were underway.

Sometimes things just go right for you.Got to GZ and took one quick search look. Gotcha. TFTC

TFTC. We had almost given up as we saw a spot we thought the cache "should" have been and maybe it had been washed away. Keen to find it we persisted and glad for the smiley. Great camo!

No luck today, lots of tree branches washed up against the bridge, and so much rubbished dumped!!! Shame, but thanks for the journey

Tftc..nicely constructed...a fav for sure...

Well thats tricky! I spotted it last night but nothing moved so I discounted it. Today a hastily improvised tool rectified the issue. Well built and hidden.

A particularly happy cache for me as it is not only my 250th find, but more importantly only a few streets away from the home my wife and I moved into after our wedding two days ago.

Found with Lucky Cricket. This is the second attempt to find this one, after running into Dragons2010 at a camden cache he gave us a hint which led us to it. It was very tight in position. Great hide. TFTC

Yayy, finally found this one with 007Mushsu... Thankyou Dargons2010 for the helpful tip, we were so close before, I can see how we missed it, though. Great hide, very clever. TFTC

Had found something similar here last week that could have been cache but wasnt . After a PAF ,went back to that find ,part of that which I hadn't put back properly and which now appeared to be somewhere else. My luck taken a turn for the better with a well disguised cache,Favorite point,tftc

This was a great hide. AWTYOW was convinced she was onto something but I tried to talk her out after I had little luck and we'd seen a few DNFs logged. She persisted however, and it paid off! The recent weather has obviously made the cache stick to it's environment even better than intended! We replaced the soggy log with some dry paper and signed, returned and headed off feeling quite pumped after finding this one! TFTC

What a great cache. Twice I was convinced I had the right idea but nothing budged. After a PAF confirmed my idea was correct I went back and tried again. After some wrestling I had a very good cache in my hand! The recent flooding means the log was mush so we replaced it with a dry piece of paper. This was a really satisfying cache... I had to work for it a little and it is a great container too! TFTC!

Looked everywhere that I could, thoughtI had it with a loose piece of timber,but no such luck,will return for another go, although not found for 6 months,must be a good one,tftc anyway

Can't find this think it's missing

Is this cache still live ?? Tried several times but no luck finding it...

Wow! Great cache. Third time lucky

too hard for us, bad luck.

After too long being disabled I'm happy to say this cache has been reenabled.

Disabled to affect repairs. [B)]

Is it gone..noted needed maintenence in last log!

Found with Pitman Clan.camo detached from tube lucky had surgical tweezers in cache box to pull out. Shaz attacked by mozzies.tftc

Found this cache but I think it may need maintenance . TFTC clever hide well worth a favourite point

Just passing

Found it. Had been searching for this one for a while.

I think that while the cache is in good nick its "camo" has detached. Unless building a tool out of a coat hanger and rare earth magnets was part of the challenge.

Thanks for the cache!

Regards Pete & Kim

Tftc

Wow finally got this one. This is insane, what a great feeling when I finally got hold of this one!! So tricky!!

Random windmill & cleverly disguised cache. Had a theory, so using geo-senses we tested our theory & soon had cih. Thanks for the effort ThaFlava!! Tftc xo

Was expecting a harder find, with the recent DNF's, but when I had a fairly quick CIH, I knew why. Cache is in good nick, as is the log. Nice idea on the container too.

It's good to see another Windmill cache. I also have one in north-west Sydney, GC38GGM.

Thanks for hiding this cache ThaFlava

Discovered geocaching the other day. This was my first attempt, closest cache to my house. Read the past logs for inspiration but ultimately left empty handed. From what I read the camo is slick, I just have NFI what I'm looking for. Haha.

Couldn't track this one down this time around.

After searching for some time I was not able to find it and the distance shown was fluctuating greatly. Try again next time.

Nice camo. No one around here today. TFTC ThaFlava

Very sneaky and awesome! A surprisingly quick find after I said what I'd like it to be and Rios said- found it- what!? And it was what I said if like it to have been lol awesome!! Perfect!! TFTC

A surprisingly quick find made by me!! Lol Salem said on approach- nice bridge! I'd like it be b an 'X'and it just happened to be an 'X' but he didn't spot it at first- too slow lol tftc WC was impressed with how quick we were, ps so was I! Lol

Sneaky cache

Another look and I found this... sneaky cam

Few tress fallen down in the area no find for me on this one, will come back another time

Looked for half hour n didnt find this cache ..mayb next time

Brought a muggle to show what geocacheing is about but this was a DNF for me, Doh
(by the reads of previous logs I was not that keen to get too dirty)

After getting a little dirty, found it.. No need to get this dirty. Thanks

Found it quiet a while ago with Meritonnn, but didn't get a chance to log before it was disabled! Have only just realised it's back up

My isolation finds this one that I miss lol durrrr

With the old iphone app giving us a few bum steers, I went back to the car, grabbed the Magellan, punched in the waypoints (didn't have this one loaded), and we were onto a more solid location. Turned out to be spot on co-ords. Surprised the Kyp missed this one, she's usually the Queen of the Nano's and sneaky hides. Great hide!

TFTC

Very nice hide, very secure.

Awesome camo! TFTC
