Sorry cachers. I don't have the time or money to maintain this cache further.

Another month has gone by without a response from the CO. Time to go?

---------

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

I notice from one or more log entries that this cache would seem to be in need of some help - **there appears to be a need for owner intervention.**

Therefore, the cache is being temporarily disabling so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) I cannot see any log that indicates a recent visit by the CO to this cache.

If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) by **28th September,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?

You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:

- Repair and/or Replace your cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.

- If you don't plan on fixing it up then please [**Archive it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.

- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (by 28th September). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will unfortunately have to de-list (Archive) the cache on the basis that it has been abandoned.

Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

Although this one continues to be found, it is in desperate need of maintenance. The camouflage is disintegrating and desperately needs replacing as does the logbook. The CO hasn't been around of late and hasn't responded to my NM log a month ago. Regretfully, it's time to bring this cache to the attention of a Reviewer. I hope the CO responds to this log and does the necessary maintenance to keep it alive.

Could not find the cache, someone may have taken it for themselves

Could do with some TLC but it is still OK. TFTC

Good cache, an easy find. TFTC

Very tricky cache.
TFTC

I swung by this one as I was passing. This cache is indeed in need of some TLC. The outer camouflage is quite brittle and broken and I found the logbook on the ground. I hope the CO performs the necessary maintenace to keep this cache alive.

The clock said time for just one more so we pawsed here going home. Not much log and the holder is fractured. We all need a little love and care sometimes. TftC

I have no idea we’re it is we Search for awhile but did not find it people in the comments said that it was under a log but I can not see the cache anywhere and I also looked for metal items the cache had metal on it but still no luck

Located at 5:28pm. #708. Decided upon one more find before heading home after work. Since starting Geocaching, I had looked at this cache’s page several times but had seen the dnfs and then the note about the fencing around GZ and so had left it alone. Looking again recently, I noticed it was being found again and thus it was I made my third find after work very quickly once arriving at GZ. Cache and log both certainly need maintenance. Cheers for the hide. Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

Things didn’t go to plan as it got to dark to do a cliff top cache as my 10000 cache so this one had to suffice. Saw the clock in the tree as I drove into the road. Quickly found. Cache and magnets disintegrating and needs to be replaced soon. Tftc tnln

Log is wet. Needs replacing. A great spot!

#298. A nice quick find as I’d seen this sort of cache before. Log book is wet but still managed to sign. Glad to add some more points for the Planetary Pursuit souvenirs quest. TFTC!

Really great hiding spot!!!

Couldn’t find it as there was a fence stopping us from exploring more and there wasn’t a tree with a hole in it either

No luck

Some electrical work fenced off areas so couldn't have a proper look, may not even be there still

Lucky for a quick find here. Thanks.

Tftc

Avenged my previous DNF here today. Greta to turn this one into a smiley. I have no idea how I missed this the first time. Talk about a case of cache blindness! TFTC!

A quick park and grab here today, the street was deserted.

Shame about the Tree Clock disappearing, I'd have loved to have seen it.

TFTC

Found by the geodaughter.

TFTC

Quick find on our way home from the central coast. Tftc.

Found cache but there was no log, have put a new piece of paper in although it's definitely not water proof and will definitely need a proper replacement sometime soon. CO, I have photo proof if you'd like to see it, but won't post here as it'll give it away. Tftc!

Checked and it is in place were i placed it originally - Happy hunting

Couple of DNF's. I'll swing by Wednesday and check it out. Stand by cachers

Hasn't been found in a while. Maintenance required.

The story about this location is so intriguing. Couldn't see the clock, so no one has replaced it. Couldn't find the cache either. My GPS was jumpy but certain I know where it should be and it wasn't there.

No luck today the bucket list remains unchanged TFTC anyway redshift

Day 9 in Australia with Junkys.
Today we stay in suburbs of Sydney to find special caches with specific criterias because we signed differents challenges all over the world asking specific conditions !
So, today we have to find some multi caches.
We have to find caches with word "rock" in the title.
We have to find caches with word "up" in the title.
We have to find caches with word "road" in the title.
We have to find a cache hidden the 24th august 2012.
We have to find challenge caches.
We use drive-in mode all this day for all this caches !

----------------------------------------

Very unhappy here....
We drove 40 minutes to find this cache because it was hidden the 24th august 2012 but we didn't find anything....
If magnets were numbers on the big green electric transformer, we think the cache is gone...

See you soon redshift and greetings from France.

I remember seeing the clock some years back. Bit of head scratching to find the cache. Signed and replaced with due care. Thanks!

So clever! Wandered past it several times. For Hiltron here ia another clue. Read all the signs carefully.

Stopped off on the way back home after visiting the Amateur Radio NSW (HAM Radio) bi-monthly Trash & Treasure sale at Quarry Road Dural, to pick up this one. 9th, and last, find of the day.

Parked the geomobile right at GZ, and then headed over for a look. Quickly spotted the cache, which unfortunately is starting to fall apart, and it was then CIH. Signed the log sheet, and then replaced as found. TFTC redshift.

Find #1285

Live around the corner and wanted to try my first one. Didn't find it. Lil help?

Found with monte

Quick easy find, clever little hide

Nice hide

Easy find
TFTC.

After spending most of the day teaching abseil skills, the clouds swept across the sky and dumped its load upon us. After packing everything away I had some extra time to cache in the area, despite the rain!
I first expected the cache to be near the trees that used to hold the clock, but my gps led me elsewhere. With a brief glance at the hint I found the cache easily.
Thanks.

Good hiding, perfect spot for it! TFTC!

Nice one!

the hiding spot is so smart i love it although it took me half an hour to find it cause I kept looking in the trees

Found it on second attempt. First attempt we looked for 30 mins. Second attempt it took 5 seconds! !

Tftc

Smart hide. Sorry had a bad pen. TFTC

New plastic bag and dry log sheet.

Nice quick & easy find! Log is full so I've included a small post-it note page which I signed & dated. TFTC

Log is completely FULL - no more space to sign & also a little damp. Will need some TLC.

Log full and saturated as the plastic bag is ripped. Tried to dry the log and bag as best as I could be needs some attention.

#114
Another drizzly day but gotta keep the streak going. Based on the hint, I focussed on the wrong object for a while and when I thoroughly dismissed all possibilities moved onto the nearby place. Spotted it second time around. As previous posters have mentioned, it needs some maintenance. With the rain, I didn't really have a good look for the tree clock - maybe when I'm next in the area as it sounds like an interesting story. TFTC.

[red]#5572[/red]
A very nice hiding place with a great camo. But fortunately, I haven`t must seek so long.
[green]TFTC[/green], [blue]SchwesterN01[/blue]

The cache is pretty damaged, bag is torn open and log is full. It's still decent but needs a bit of love.

The clock would have been cool to see. Shame it went missing

The cache was pretty cool and would have been very hard to spot if it wasn't slightly damaged. The log book is full also. TFTC!

Love the camo. This was a fun one to find. Thanks for the cache.

Tftc, first time I had seen this camo in person. Luckily I had seen it in an article and spotted it pretty quickly.

Thought I'd indulge on my birthday with a quick cache on my way home from a birthday lunch. Easy find but the log is full, and damp, and the bag is torn. Needs maintenance. Thanks for bringing me to a spot with some unusual history.

Mum found it!! Great clues

Streak day #237 - Tuesday night is training night. Though I was feeling lazy, so I skipped my Liverpool training and settled for just my Baulkham Hills training. I had plenty of time for a cache and dinner, but I wasn't really in the caching mood so settled for grabbing one that was on the way. Since I was driving up the Pacific Hwy then along Fox Valley Rd this cache was just a short detour from my normal route. I parked a little past the cache then started looking. Considering the clue there wasn't too many spots to look. Once at the correct side I spotted this cache easily as I knew the type. Despite seeming like a quiet street there was still a fair amount of traffic. With CIH I was able to hide mostly out of view in order to sign the log. After putting the cache back as I found it I did wander over to see if I could spot where the clock had once lived, but in the dark I wasn't sure. Oh well. It would have been interesting to see when it was there. TFTC.

Yay, found it but no thanks to co-ordinates. Had to walk past where we thought, thanks to local friends.

Found it. It's a bit soggy and bag is torn at top. Signed as best we could. Thanks for the find.

Nice walk here from Turramurra Station. We looked around for the former Clock Tree. Photo guess attached. Clever 'hiding' place. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

A quick find. Seen something similar before. Tftc.

Spotted from the vehicle as I pulled up. No suspecting muggles, made for a quick find, TFTC

i had to collect a mate from Turramurra around lunchtime today, so I took the opportunity to run down the freeway early and find a few caches around these parts, this being my first stop for the day. I pulled up on the mark, and looking about I spied the hide straight away - something I have seen before - rather than beelining for it though, I first circled the trees looking for the clock-hole, before subtly collecting the cache on my way back round to the Car, where I signed the log before replacing the cache as found. Thanks for the quick and easy find redshift

Quick find after doing nearby puzzle cache TFTC

Found it! I mean theres only so many places to look! No space left on the log though and the plastic sleeve isnt water tight anymore but the camo seems to be keeping it dry

Great camo - log good cond. will come sign when I find a pen !

Took me ages but looking at a few logs and so many people saying it was easy drove me insane. Many circles around ground zero and then it clicked... Haven't seen one like this before.... Very enjoyable! Especially in the ah huh moment.

SL! Tftc. Easy find.

Tftc I love these ones

#1079 (6 of 6 today)

Having not attempted this before due to chainsaw wielding muggles near GZ (can't think of a better reason not to stop), thought I'd try today. And there were no muggles to be seen.

Walked to GZ, and tried to pinpoint the right spot as the iPhone was jumping a little. After checking a few likely spots I had nothing. Then I rechecked on area I'd already scanned and spotted the obvious... CIH.

Why didn't I see that the first time.
Completed signing duties and checked out the empty clock cavity at the intersection.

SLTNLN
TFTC

Drove here hoping for a quick grab, but there were men with chainsaws directly over the road from GZ, and there was a lot of trees and logs getting smaller.
Kept going. After my find at Twin Creeks I came back, but they were still there.

Hopefully when they're finished the cache will also still be there.

Love these sort of hides TFTC.

Hickory dickey dock the mouse ran up the clock. Nice hide. Easy find. SL TFTH TFTC Log is dry. Replaced as found. No room for swaps or drops.

Sneaky! Good one

Found this ages ago but didn't actually log it, so I'm doing it now.

That was easy!
Nice treey street with appealing gardens. Only a couple of muggle runners at 6.30am. Glad I'm not doing those hills!
TFTC
P.S. Couldn't work out where the clock had been.

Came to avenge my dnf as the cache is within walking distance of my house.
Really Creative hide

Tftc

Love this type of cache

TFTC

We loved this one!!!

Me and my friend looked for hours but found nothing

I walked the wrong way to GZ and spotted nothing. On completing the circle I saw the hide.

TFTC.

Found this one with CJ this morning whilst out on our calendar chase cache which took us to Turramurra.

There are a few around here that we haven't done and we've been wanting to knock this one off our cache list as a priority. Finally today we could get out here. It was nice to get down here early in the morning, but after so much rain the area was still very wet. It was an easy find and we had the cache in hand quickly. The zip-loc bag for the log is cactus and should be replaved. We signed the log and replaced it exactly as we found it.

It was a quick satisfying find, that avoided the latest down pour. Thanks redshift for your cache. We enjoy it. SL TNLN TFTC

Ooo! Sneaky. I love it! AM spotted this within seconds of parking at the GZ. SL&R, quick and easy! TFTC, redshift!

Found it after a brief search. Little bag needs to be changed, which ill do later. Tftc

Finally came out to get one from the little red book of caches to find.

Found before i got out of the car as i have a cache like this planted in the field. Was the first time i have come across one of these aside from where mine.

SL @ 6pm on the way home from a friends place.

Took forever, hiding in plain sight, yet very hard to find. Very creative in hiding. Well done and TFTC

Also known as NurseCait and The Hulberts

Got to love those hidden in plain sight type of hides...!
I have never seen one of these in the wild before either. SL TFTC

No luck. Checked every bit of metal and the vines behind the transformer. Must be doing something wrong.

Came here with AB, who lives just nearby and knows of the clock story.

Found the spot where the clock used to live, then a short walk to the cache, which AB impressively found, quite clever. Have seen this type of hide before though.

Headed off to the next one. Whew, hot day!

Thanks for the cache!

Found it

This drove me nuts for quite some time and I nearly gave up, even after looking at the hint. Then I found it - brilliant. TFTC!

Geocache #484.
Found on Thursday, 22nd August 2013 at 1:40 PM.
Conditions: sunny.
Current streak #22 days.

My 383rd find for The Great Scouts Australia Geocaching Competition 2013.

Day twenty two of the 31 Days of Geocaching in the month of August and I headed out to claim another daily souvenir to keep #31in31 streak alive.

I went for a quick drive during my lunchbreak and parked the car right next to GZ. Tried looking for the gum tree that once housed the clock but not entirely sure which one it was - are there any photos of the tree clock?? It did not take long to spot the cache, the cammo was not sitting completely flush so that was a dead giveaway. Nice cache and interesting to read about some history of the area, TFTC redshift.

"JordsAU

I went around and around, and then did a 'Dopple' take - a very attractive method redshift! Thanks for another insight into the art of hiding.

Found with snoopy1976. A nice park and grab

Quick find.1st for the night. TFTC

I've come out today without a pen so was unable to sign the log (I did take a photo of the cache as evidence). Clever hide. TFTC!
