The Mysterious Disappearing Beach Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
By Bells Angels on 11-Feb-13. Waypoint GC409QK

One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Should you like to resurrect the cache please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

From http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache

The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.

If a geocache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance it will not be unarchived.

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 listing and post a new 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.

{#195dc9490a33358d21811c6c8622ea0e}

No response to maintenance request, cache should be at least disabled as it may have been washed away in the storms earlier this year.

Didn't find it.

Dnf

Didn't find it either. Think it's about time the CO takes a peek. Beach and dogs on full display today. Cheers.

"Could be anywhere?"

It's either very cleverly camo'd, and I have a firm opinion as what. Or it's gone.

Lots of people surfing here. Or at least attempting to; the surf wasn't really up. And swimmers. I guess you could say the beach was in today.

Thanks for the story, and Greetings from faraway Norway!

Enjoyed the walk from Bondi to Tamarama. First time I've done this walk actually.

Had a good search around the trees without any success. It's probably still there I just can't seem to find it.

Headed down and checked out the disappearing beach too with interest.

Thanks for the cache!

Looked everywhere

Not saying it's not there. Just that I couldn't find it. Gorgeous spot and was feeing confident. Looked through all the photos and logs and had an idea of what I was looking for. However after what seemed like an eternity looking we had to give up and keep walking.

I'm sure I know what it looks like but could not find it today

We loved the coastal walk from Bondi to Coogee. So many beaches to discover and ice-cream to enjoy. Easy find.
TFTC, narga

Found it too

We beat the birthday girl

Found it TFTC

Very nice Place.greetings from Germany. Easy to find. First in the New logbook


TFTC

Lots of potential hiding places, lots of muggles, hot day. Next time!

This cache was spotted by my cousin on the floor when I was looking above. Leap Year find. Wedged in the correct place. Cunning camouflage.

Hard to find in the dark.

First find on this trip to Aus! TFTC!

Today I decided to get some caches after my annual review under 44degree temperature- I'm so grilled now! But it's a lot of fun finding this cache! Thanks for the cache!

Every since I knew I was coming to Sydney from London UK I knew I wanted to do the famous Bondi beach to Coogee beach coastal walk. Today I did and loved it!

Thanks to my daughter downloaded the geocaching app we even managed to find this very clever
cache along the way.

Nice hide on a beautifull walkway! TFTC and greetings from Czech Republic!

Found this on a nice walk from Coogee to Bondi today. Very nice hide!

Found during an evening walk from Bondi to Coogie. Very clever container which took a bit of time to find.

On the way to bondi beach, we did a quick detour to help solving the problem of this mysterious beach.
The morning was sunny and we did great walk, the beach is still missing though.
Thanks for the cache.
Greetings from Portugal.

#9777, Found it with DroidCachebox!

During our trip through Australia we visited Sydney for a few days.
This was our fourth and last day in the city, and we decided to visit the bondi beach area and look for some caches on the way.
The weather was great today, the best in the days we were here, perfect for a walk along the coast!
Thanks for the cache.
Greetings from Portugal.

Sneaky find ! One of my faves

Very cheeky hide, tftc

Jcody and I are taking a bit of a road trip and a walk along the cliffs was on the agenda, picking up the easy terrain caches along the way.
By good fortune I had the right angle and lighting to see a little glint that revealed the location almost immediately.
10:01 am

After a bit of searching and reading the previous logs we found him. Really nice one!

Very tricky!!

An Awesome find!!! Found a family of geocaches as well!! Very cute tftc

Came along this place on our way from Coogee to Bondi... clever hideout at first we were struggling but as soon as you know what to look for it's not too hard
unfortunately we couldn't open the cache container, I hope the next cacher has stronger fingers
(I took a photo but don't post a photo log as it would reveal what to look for
tftc!

Awesome Cache, thankfully spotted it out of the corner of my eye!! TFTC!!

Love this one well disguised. TFTC

Found the tree but nothing else.

About to give up as its too hot to stand around. Looked to my side and there it was!

One of the coolest caches ever! Genius.

Wooow that was a good one!! I love it! TFTC!

Nicely hidden cache. Found it with my wife during walk from Bondi beach. She found it
Thanks.

Second cache in Aus! Clever hide! TFTC On our way from Bondi to Bronte

Missed it itswo years ago. This time Mrs`SB spotted it very quickly. (She's good like that)
Neat hide.

Two of us stood here for about a 15 minutes and just could not for the life of us find this cache. Didn't help that the rain was pretty strong. Maybe we'll try again some day sunnier.

Excellent walk from Coogee to MacKenzies Bay with daughter, superslothsonya, and my wife, Viola. The beach was reasonably there today, especially at about 5pm with low tide, a very cool place . Quite a tricky cache hide, but once you find the right one .... it's easy . Thanks for bringing us to this unique location . TFTC, trackable Kanadský Míša - Canadian Teddy Bear here for a visit also.

I stood still for a moment and looked - & behold it appeared!! Just was standing in the perfect spot to see it.. I loved this one!!

Ole eagle eye got this one quickly. Comp is on!!

Very impressive

Well, the beach isn't the biggest mystery... three persons wondered more about "where the heck is this cache?". After circling the trees more times than I could count, we consulted some past photos and voila, the cache location (and not long after, the cache itself) was found.

I have seen this sort of hide before, but obviously a different fruit. Classic but cheeky hide that will stun and incest many a geocacher. TFTC and taken this FP as a token of my appreciation.

Very nice view and an interesting cache container.
TFTC

Yuh

TFTC! Found a few months but forgot to log it. With @qkevinto

Doing part of the stroll from Bondi. Great walk you have. No beach here for us today. Must be the melting icebergs. Thanks.

No beach here, but a very nice area you have. Thanks.

Great views. Tricky hide. No pen. Got pic of log as evidence of find. Tftc

Last day of our holiday - we fly home to the UK this evening. Time though for some last minute sight seeing with a walk from Woollhara to Bondi and back, picking up a handful of caches as well. A chilled and relaxed end to a totally amazing trip.

After a look around Bondi and a coffee/cake stop we started to make our way back to Roger, finding this one en route. Nicely done.

While exploring Bondi Beach we found this
Cache! It took us a while, but finally 'ca' found the nice hide! TFTC and cheers from a Swiss cacher couple!!

A clever hide that we really enjoyed, as did our visitors. Thanks Bells Angels

Trouvée avec metallicsky !!! Nice!

Was right in front of me! Really nice hide! Tftc

Was right in front of me! Really nice hide! Tftc

My first cache here in Australia! The swedish girls! Tftc!

Great day together with My swedish friends. Tftc

After Wazza9 did the maintenance on the container, I signed the log and replaced. Not sure how alfyboy signed the log. Thanks to Bells Angels. Then off to continue to see the Sculptures by the Sea.

TFTC,
Walked past this one and tronador said there was a cache back there. Pulled out the GPS and went back. Came in from the correct direction which allowed the sun to shine on the camo attachment and soon had a CIN that couldn't be opened. Out came a necessary tool and within seconds had the log out. Signed and returned making sure that the thread was correctly threaded.
It is amazing what you can do with hundreds of people walking by.
Yet another cache that needed some loving attention today.
Visited trackables.

Found this cache during a short holiday in this beautiful region.
It was very tightly closed and unfortunately I didn't have the right tools to open it, can send you a picture as proof point.


TFTC

Came past this afternoon with the family to check out these Sculptures By the sea. Then realised there were some caches around there. Family walked on while I went for the hide. Muggles everywhere, but not looking my way. Nice hide. TFTC.

The cap is cross threaded and can't be removed by hand. Badly in need of some TLC! 8D

Tftc. Plenty of muggles today walking sculpture by the sea.

Very clever cache but no beach today TFTC

Cleverly hidden.
No sand on the beach today.
TFTC

Well hidden. TFTC. No sand today.

We came to Bondi today to visit the Sculptures By The Sea exhibition. Arrived by train and, after finding "Waverly Community Gardens" in Bondi Junction, wandered down Bondi Road and then along the ocean walkway to view the sculptures. Found "The Boot" then continued along the walkway to reach this one. Not much sand on the beach today, just rocks.

As expected it was muggle madness all around GZ, but thankfully the actual GZ location was mostly hidden from muggle eyes. Once at GZ we checked this and that, then found something, but it turned out not to be the cache. It was a pink plastic stick with a key tag that mentions Geocaching, but appeared to have nothing to do with the real cache.

Looked at the hint and then realised what we may be looking for. And it wasn't long before geomum spotted the cunning camo, and had CIH. Signed the log sheet and replaced as found.

The cache is generally in good shape but the thread of the container could do with a little bit of lubrication, as it is a little tight to undo. The thread seems to jam as you undo it. A smear of Vasoline should fix it. TFTC.

Find #761

Just a cache check on my way past. It is still there but I did not check the log.

Found after a short search. Nice camo. tftc

Together with Willem-Jan on our trip to Austalia from Sydney to Melbourne - Tasmania - Adelaide - Canberra - Sydney.

Found it. Log will follow

Found after a short search, spent longer trying to open the log than it took us to find it. Nearly gave up then realised it was quite simple. Thanks for the cache.

TFTC, no logrol in it, left our card

I was happy to find this one today, as my last visit to Sydney in March left me empty handed with this cache. After reading a few logs I had a better idea of what I was after. TFTc!!

Excellent camo!!! What a beautiful spot. Thanks for bringing us here, and greetings from Canada!

This one took a little while.....TFTC

Really smart hide! Just happened to be in the right place at the right time when we read the logs........

Fabulous cache, best one I've found yet.
tftc- mp_tp

sorry, I found this on my old account that I got locked out of (mp_tp) tftc I like the hiding spot though

Perfect hideout, although the beach was not here today

Tftc - best one so far!

#2263 (14 of 15 today)

It's Oz Comic-con time again, and so I needed to deliver Geoson #2 to the door at White Bay so he could work on one of the stands.
This meant an early start in an area I don't cache in that often, so despite the fact I've been very light on Saturday finds recently - evening up finds on each day of the week (still lots of work to do on that though) - i decided to go for a lot of finds today. In particular, I was looking at one puzzle I'd finally solved a little while ago and an assault on my old alma mater the UNSW.

In the end I got 15 finds amid a few DNFs and a "can't get this to work" multi.
A good day.
[center]END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION[/center]
Rain is falling but still so many passing muggles! Been past before for Sculpture By The Sea. No chance of a search then!
Took a bit to finally spot the obvious - spotted the cache attachment first. Blends in nicely.

Completed signing duties and moved on. Getting late now. Only time for one or two more.

Looked for about an hour and still couldn't find anything hanging.

While spending 16 months abroad, travelling through all states of Australia and also having a two months break in Thailand I did a lot of geocaching.
After many, many caches accompanied by the strong will not to write any standard logs, I ended up with more than 1000 finds, all waiting for an official log. After intense considerations and carefully weighing my options, you now receive this special limited edition numbered log.

This is my unique non-standard log #22.
I loved this little tricky cache

Thanks a lot Bells Angels for taking care of this cache, showing me this place and turning my travels into an adventure!

Greetings from Germany.
Keep on caching!
Theatralis ?

That’s roughly the route I travelled:
Germany – Sydney – Cairns – Cape Tribulation – Armidale – Sydney – Canberra– Melbourne – Tasmania – Melbourne – Boinka – Adelaide – Alice Springs – Darwin – Adelaide – Melbourne – Perth – Rottnest Island – Denmark – Perth – Melbourne – Thailand – Brisbane – Sydney – Adelaide – Boinka – Melbourne – Germany

And finally some statistics:
Days abroad: 20
Days of geocaching: 10
Geocaches abroad: 22
Geocache of the day: 1/1

What a beautiful way to spend fathers day - walking from Bondi to Bronte and a picnic along the way. We stopped at this bay for lunch and after a lovely picnic we set about finding the cache.

We soon spotted the cache but with no pen we've included a pic of the Rats and mini rats holding the log.
Thanks

What a tricky hiding spot! Nice small camo'd container just hanging around! TFTC

I'm counting this as a find even though I'm not certain I found the actual cache. I was walking from Bondi o Bronte in the pouring rain today and stopped to search for this. AFter a bit of hunting, I found what is pictured in the attached *POTENTIAL SPOILER PHOTO*. This was find number 1252 - an auspicious number for me. TFTC!!

Did the fab walk from Coogee to Bondi and picked this up on the way back. Fantastic winter day with a bit of sun, a bit of wind and a lot of talking.

Also picked up a travel bug.

Found it. Trouvé. ????
