No credible finds for a long time, a series of DNFs and no response to a NM log.
Time to go.
Time to go.
Was right on top of where it should be and a great spot under a rock but nothing there
#3506 (1 of 17 today)
I was preparing to go on a cache binge today, as recently I've been back to a quick scramble for a cache later in the day.
With the Geowife's blessing I was getting ready to go and noticed some publishing had occurred.
I spotted one new cache that fitted in with my day's plans, so decided to go for it, then continue on towards Camden, where I could make a lot of quick finds - I hoped.
In the end I got 17 finds and a few DNFs. And I managed to snag the First2Find on the new cache as well.
Top day!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Checked all the possible spots. Then saw all the DNF logs.
I'd say it's AWOL.

Didn't find it after thorough search even allowing for a recent hint.will wait until someone else finds before attempting again and obtain final clue to multi cache nearby,3 dnfs on this one now, tftc
Out at The Chocolate Room and decided to look for nearby cache. Didn't have to look to far as last person left sitting on rock for all to see. TFTC.
Morning tea at The Chocolate Room then a quick find with Chrissy61 & Unicorn8-06. Wasn't that hard as last person left sitting on rock for all to see. Signed and replaced where we though it should be. TFTC
Stopped at The Chocolate Room for morning tea and decided to find nearby cache. Ellyse2004 & Unicorn 8 got there before me and there it was sitting on the rock in plain sight for all to see. We all signed and returned to where we thought it should be. TFTC.
Would have been a quick park and grab if it wasn't for some muggles who would not leave. Eventually, found the cache within 2 mins of them leaving. TFTC.
Fairly easy find, not really where I thought it would be.
Very quiet park, the place a deserted, I was there just after school finished & there were no kidies around.
TFTC. TNLN.

We were searching in the wrong place, then found a tip on a previous log and found it easily

TFTCAt first i thought i found the cache smashed and burned at GZ but after a message from The Wollongong Whiz informing me that is not the cache i went back and found it a few metres away from this spot.
Dont worry folks, the cache is safe and well.

Edited. Thanks to a message from a friendly fellow geocacher we went back and found the real cache. *tip* you do not need to go below the floor of the gazebo to get to it, there is way too much broken glass there. You can get to it from the same level as a gazebo.

After feeling a sense of disappointment that this was muggled, the Mozys cousin found his first geocache TFTC
>> Was this what it was in? Found this near the co ords
Regarding the above, and the attached image, that's similar to the container but not it. I see though you have since found the correct container.
How odd that there would be a damaged cache-looking container near an actual geocache. Feel free to dispose of the intruder!

Yes, there is a melted sistema container there, and a bong, but don't let it put you off. The cache is where it is stated. TFTC!
Folks,
I dropped in yesterday, the cache was still there in good order, despite being quite damp. I replaced the container and log book, keeping the lid as it is important for a sensational multi in the area...
Just a note, the area is well grown over now. The vegetation, plants, weeds, what have you - have not been groomed in what appears like a long time. Certainly wasn't overgrown when I was working there. With that in mind, I'm going to add a few more details to the encrypted clue to make finding it a little bit easier.
Finally, you really shouldn't need to trample plants/weeds if you're careful.

I think this one needs replacing.Thank you guys, we'll have one of the guys look into this one ASAP. A number of us worked in the area until mid to late last year, but we've all moved on to other jobs. Will try and visit OP as soon as we can.
No luck here, found remains of a small plastic container which had been blown up by fireworks, possibly the cache? A lot of bottles and bongs too...will try this one again next time I see a found log
8902 + 1010 = 9912. Found during a work trip to the Penrith region.
Working at Penrith during the week so I took the opportunity to grab some caches. This was the seventeenth for the day. A quick find at GZ ! Grabbed, signed and returned the cache, then it was off to the next one.
Thanks Mike250 !
TNLN - TFTC !!
Cheers....

Thank you for the Maintenance notification, we'll get someone in our group over to replace ASAP.
On my way to visit Stuie & Caro, a bit early, so time to find this cache. Surely this place is ripe for more caches? Pleasantly surprised there were no muggles, Saturday morning at a soccer field in winter and the place is empty. TFTC.
I had DNFd this one ages ago but made a quick find today thanks to the hint and a pretty obvious cacher's trail. Then some driving around to find the playground I remembered seeing last time. I think there was a cache there at the time but too many muggles, and now it seems to be gone. But the zip line is still there and the kids loved it. TFTC!
We are in the area for three days helping run the Hidden Treasure school holiday club in partnership with Newlife Anglican Church. Once the first day was done we set off on our own treasure hunt.
A quick find.

Made my way down the thin black line again this morning, Looking to pick up some caches starting around Blacktown then West to Richmond and all point south to Camden. Love the Richmond Camden area’s so full of history. Some may call it a new exciting suburb, Some may call it a Travesty. Great cache. TFTC
Our very first cache find !! We were glad to find the cache and not some snake hiding from the midday sun!
We have picked up a traveler - the Brightlingsea Wonderer - and he will be dropped off to some new digs soon......

Revisited cache to find final hint for another nearby cache. Dropped off TB, thanks.
Its nice to be out and about on a cool day after the warm spell over the recent days. Picked up a TB. TFTC
Found with geoscouts. Left Panthers Patrol 2013 travel bug. The scouts made the travel bug with their patrol badge inside. We're hoping it will travel the world starting from here. Aussie from 1st Narellan Scout Group.
