In accordance with Geocaching guidelines and the 2018 Cache Quality Survey, I am logging a "Needs Reviewer Attention" to speed up the maintenance process.

There has been no response from the CO in a timely manner (i.e. more than 28 days) and should be considered for archival due for non-responsiveness.

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

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 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, 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.

Didn’t really search for long. I kind of gave up after I noticed how small the cache was and how many branches there were on the ground.

Where exactly?

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Found what we assumed to be the camo - no cache or log hidden within.

Brought TahKina out for their first cache, even without a cache I think they may be doing some more caching again in future!

No canister found in allocation

we found the spot but nothing was in it

Caching with EverestHigh

The light was really fading as we headed across the reserve to GZ so out came the torch.

A sneaky little hide, much tougher than the D1 rating suggest - nice work

TFTC

Tricky hide. Deserves more than 1/1 ratings. TFTC hunter2234

Revenge a previous DNF here and saw it from about 10m away, straight away this time
Thanks for the cache

just list in hide. termites are over running it.

Nice location and good hide. TFTC

We noticed the log staight away just sitting there then found the camo on the ground,would of been a very sneeky hide.
Thanks hunter2234 for the cache

Found much earlier but didn’t mark it. Still an interesting find

Nice find very close to my Niece's (Linke's daughter) place when visiting Sydney for the weekend. Needs a plastic bag to protect the log. *TFTC hunter2234 #233*

Nice short stroll to GZ. Thanks for bringing me here.

When I visited the SSFTFH series last week, I noticed some interesting caches in this area. So returned today to cycle-caching a few along the fire trails here.
- - -
Decided to 'warm up' on an easy one. Last I visited almost two years ago, it was clear the cache has been muggled. Today, went straight to the hide to finally effect an official find.

Out with the kiddies this afternoon, so thought we would try to find this one. Stopping up the hill we had a quick play in the playground before walking around the path to approach GZ. Once at GZ it was a quick search and the very sneaky hide was revealed. Nice one, haven't found one quite like this before.
TFTC hunter2234 a great kid friendly, pram friendly hide and for introducing us to this nice little reserve.
Find 120

Lucky for a quick find here. Signed the log with Everlasting. TFTC.

Again ozuk spotted it before me signed the log with ozuk. Thanks for the cache and hunt

No luck today
Thanks

This was my first cache so I started small. Great hiding spot very clever. Only took a few minutes to find. Log is still there but the canister is gone however. TFTC.

hunter2234 I found your cache aussie rd reserve walk on 30/7/17, 11:55 am. This is my find #1865 and find #1 today. Very clever hide. Thanks for the cache! TNSLLN

Found it. Container gone, log only. TFTC!

Watch out for the ants. They were all over the cache. Nice hide and quick find. Thanks

As others have said, the container is missing. Great cache though.

Found this one quite quickly but only because the camo was bent and the cache was partially revealed. Some handiwork later and the cache is now securely hidden. Yes the cache is just a log- no bag or container, but it is surprisingly dry and is still a good cache regardless. Thanks for the great hide!

Tftc! Clever cache! Loved it

Pretty sure it's been stolen. Found the spot very sneaky and covered in ants. But not there.

After 10mins of looking for it we found the spot that it would of been in but nothing there

Just found a the log but no Container. Not in the original spot but put it back.

Found it. It was misplaced. We replaced it

It's not as it should have been found casing lost just log on it's own

TFTC. Nice bush cache signed paper replaced, great home for ants.

Looked for a while. No find

U cheeky son of a gun! I found it! took me a bit cause who the hell would think to look there?!! Very nice

13/03/17. 1:07 PM. Cache #4843.
2nd of 4 finds (& 2 DNFs) today - Bankstown, Barden Ridge , Sutherland, Gymea, Croydon Park

Decided to head south today - tried to get 5, but a couple of tricky DNFs spoiled the party.

After coming unstuck at "Twelve", this was the next cache in the area. I started down a path and then realised it was the wrong one. Backtracked to the right one and investigated something that suited the hint - cache in hand! And ants everywhere! This could use a bag I guess?

Signed the log and went on to my next cache, "Muso". TFTC.
} : )

It is now an ant breeding ground. They are everywhere. TFTC

came to friend's home to pick up 3-month old budgie for geokid. have a quick search when budgie is waiting in the car. seemly longer time is requied.

This was a very cleverly hidden cache. An ant nest has been created with the log, thanks.

Very sneaky. TFTC

I like it, very sneaky

Found it.

Not here anymore

Found on the way home from Sydney for the day. Cache container is now gone and only a log sheet is in the hide position

Tftc ??

Found it

#859 came here with alnic39 for a day caching in the Shire he wanted to get this one so we pulled up in some shade and followed a group into the park they stopped at the bench under the tree and we went up to the trailhead. We wandered around for a bit checking things but didn't find anything cache-like I then checked something else and there was the log. Fantastic hide signed the log and replaced as found. Thanks for the cache hunter2234

The following TBs visited for the distance - 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, & 2016 phlphotos NSW geocoins, phlphotos' Spindoc Bob Memorial Geocoin & Rainbow Spirit’s Caching Dilemma's Geocoin.

While I was searching here and there, phlphotos made the find in the clever spot. Nice one.

clever little find

Tricky! Forgot to bring a pen! Thanks.

Fund it clever hide

Great spot! TFTC

A nice quick find after a walk over the wet ground.

TFTC.

With a bit of time to spare before this morning's appointment, I dropped by here for a look. I soon spotted the sneaky hide (I think ) at 09:10 but alas, the cupboard was completely bare! No container, no log, nothing! On looking back through the logs, it looks like a serial 'cache remover' might be at large on this one. Nevertheless, I filled in a sheet of paper with my find details and placed it in the obvious spot. Maybe a rethink is in order here but it is a nice little tract of land and a cache is certainly needed.

Anyhoo, it's worth a fave point for the type of hide that it is.

TNLNSL, although a couple of our geocoins had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks hunter2234.

It looks like the cache has been removed from its hidey-hole. I placed a new sheet in the obvious location but some TLC is definitely needed here.

**PS:** I've got a pickie of the cache location and my added logsheet if needed.

Bit Tricky ... Come back another time

OCW SMS and this was #7, though SMS had found it before. I had put off doing this for awhile as I had read all the previous DNFs. Now that it was back in action, we made our way to GZ and I spotted the camo immediately. Out popped the newish log and replaced. A sneaky hide. I like these ones that are quite obvious, but not too muggles. TFTC. #641

TFTC!

TFTC! Found it on the way home! cache has been replaced I guess, as we are first to sign this new sheet.

Saw someone in here this morning as I drove past in my car on the way to work. Is it back?

Found hiding spot but cache gone

We have been to search for this cache twice now. Found the start of the walking track but no luck with the cache

From what I can work out from previous logs and the hint, I found the location where the cache was hidden. But nothing, zilch, nada de nada.
I've emailed off some images to CO to check whether the cache is genuinely gone, or I'm totally off the mark as to its position. May come back and convert this note to a Find (or DNF) depending on outcome.

As per previous log, but we place a log book in a bag for the next finder. TFTC

Found it. But the cache was gone

Found hiding spot with ~ moni~ but cache appears to be missing.

Dat hard shit

Too many spiders for a really good look without dad! Will come back on a weekend.

Could not find it. Looked everywhere forever but no geocache

#432.... love thia cache! Be cafeful though... the ants have made it their nest!! TFTC

Thought we'd go up to Barden Ridge to find the easier terrain ones (wasn't dressed for anything to difficult today) and did this one first. Camo was a bit out of place, still managed had a bit of a look around as the GPS was a bit jumpy... Very resourceful haha thanks for this one!

#2069 (3 of 10 today) (Streak day 90)

A day down south visiting friends in The Shire, so left early and looked to pick up a few caches on the way there.
Found 6 (with a few DNFs on the way there, and another 4 on the way home afterwards.
[center]END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION[/center]
Thought I'd go past the Bypass to grab a brace of caches in Barden Ridge.

Parked over the road from the reserve and made my way in. Got to GZ and sized up the possible hides. One spot jumped out, but I thought, surely not.

But it was - CIH. Needed a tool to extract the cache (ie a key).
Took away to complete signing duties and then back for the replace.

Great hide... Managed to find without working out the hint. TFTC

Nice one had us going for a bit! Some info on working out the hint wouldn't hurt. Put a piece of paper in as log useless. NEEDS MAINTENACE. TFTC

Great cache thanks hunter2234, log is full and to fragile to write on . Have taken a photo if required by cache owner as proof of find. Lastly a fav point for the work required in placing this cache. Thanks gekko33

Found it

Clever

Very clever!

Nice find. Found very close to daughters fiance's home on our visit to Sydney. Needs more log paper. TFTC

I liked this one a lot. Nice to see some creativity every now and then. Quick find after parkrun today.

Clever! Like this hide! TFTC

Gotcha! Had me going for a while. You are very clever & inventive. Seen something similar once before.
Love your form. Definately a fave!

Great spot. Needs more paper

Right on the edge

Kids are at a laser tag party, and the closest unfounded cache is 1.3 km away. Strap on your backpack, grab a carrot, load your GPS and on my way!

I can't say anything but "coordinates were spot on!". TFTC.

Quick find on my way to a nearby work site visit. I haven't found one of these in years. Favourite point well earned and awarded!

Cheers

a very clever hide, log was damp may need to be replaced. TFTC

#1546
Another quick park and grab on my way to heathcote . TFTC

A quick find after Sunday morning Archery.
TFTC.

Good one!! You get a favourite point for this one! Very clever says geodad

Found it. Nice hiding spot - very creative

Sneaky! Took us a little while but we got there. Great cache.

Didn't take too long to find this cache. Well hidden. TFTC

Loved the hide!

TFTC

Oh! That is clever! Geodad was all over it. I had no idea! A park and grab on the way home from a day out caching in the nearby bush. Thanks for the cache!

Found it straight away.
Very inventive.
TFTC.

Great camo! Took a little while to spot the hide, nice one.
Cheers,
