Logs
Unfortunately there was no response (or regular update) from the owner within the time requested and as per the original note this cache has been archived. If the cache is a tough hide then the Difficulty rating should reflect this. Just because a cache is tough doesn't mean that maintenance is optional either.If you wish to replace it please submit a new cache via [this link](https://www.geocaching.com/play/hide).Ngaambul - Matt
Other than a fairly full log sheet (some small random blank spaces are still available), there was nothing wrong with this cache when we found it on the 27th of July 2024. It's a tricky hide, so not surprised that it has lots of DNFs.
Hi Blundo Busters,The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, or it may not but in the absence of the cache owner performing maintenance and/or disabling the cache to check it out, 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 4 weeks) 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 4 weeks 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.Ngaambul - Matt
We are on another short (three day) caching holiday in North Western Sydney, staying for two nights in a park cabin at the Ingenia Holidays Avina BIG4 Holiday Park at Vineyard. Hoping to collect some more previously solved Mystery/Puzzle caches, complete some of the newly placed Adventure Labs and SideTracked caches, and accumulate some "units of fuel" for the new "Cosmic Quest" souvenir challenge. Photos will be uploaded to logs on our return to home base.Today (day 1) we travelled out to Vineyard, going via the M2 & M7 Motorways from Delhi Road North Ryde to the Sunnyholt Road exit, then through Acacia Gardens, Parklea, Quakers Hill, Schofields and Riverstone to reach our accommodation. Collected numerous Traditional caches, a couple of SideTracked caches, a previously solved Mystery/Puzzle cache, and a five stage Adventure Lab with AL Bonus cache that we passed along the route. This was the 1st of 18 finds for the day (day 1), and 1st find of the holiday.This was our first cache stop for the holiday, after exiting the M7 Motorway, and it was a nice quick find on arrival at GZ. TNLNSL, and then replaced the sneaky hide as found. Log was very full, but we managed to squeeze our mark into a tiny blank space on the edge of the log sheet. TFTC Blundo Busters.Find #6909
Looked for a while but couldn’t find it despite the clue, going to try again soon. 
lots of muggles made it difficult too.

An afternoon of Covid safe caching in my own LGA. Not many traditionals left, only a few multi's and many hard-to-solve unknown caches.
Another one from the Water Towers series. I don't think I took note of the questions for the bonus cache before. Ah well, at least the traditional was found!

On my way to see some geom8s at an event. A slight detour, perfect coords and hint to have CIH. Took a bit to extract it, but all good here. At least I found one Blundo Busters hide this arvo.
I’m not sure what the last finders found but it is nothing like the one in their photo! And tt72 was the last name on the log. TFTC

Cleverly hidden. It took a bit of searching but eventually I spotted a tiny clue to the presence of the cache.
Forgot to log this found it after our 3rd time going but we felt stupid once we found it.
Happy hunting

Got dropped off here for a quick cache scurry, found it after a bit of searching. Sorted and sneaking away. Thanks for the cache!

I haven’t had much luck at the water towers recently and I was questioning myself again when the arrow pointed a little too far on the wrong side of the fence. But after my eyes failed to find the cache, I had to let my fingers do the walking. And now that I’ve been up close to this tower, I could see it from all over the area. Thanks Blundo Busters.
Happy to log this one! Tried a few days ago but Coordinates were leading me astray! Came back today for another try and made the find right away!! Yet another clever hide!
Have taken note of the clue too
TFTC!

I pulled up at gz then walked along the fence line ..."where would I hide a cache". After digging in dirt then poking a few holes and read some logs - which gave me no hope - I finally found it in last placed I looked.
Made note of the hint.
Log over half full.
Container good condition.

Not a very successful morning out caching as I've been muggled out several times. It seems everyone is out now the rain has gone.
I hadn't even planned on stopping at this one but I found myself driving only about 100 metres away so I made the short detour.
I collected the information for the final mystery cache then began checking likely hiding spots. Knowing the type of hide Blundo Busters uses I soon had CIH. The co-ordinates were very good and nature provided some protection from the passing driving muggles.
Signed the log and rehid the cache.
TFTC #2626, Streak day #213, 3rd and final cache for the day.

On my way out to work and thought I would grab another one from this series, found it quickly but had to wait for some muggles to leave before I could return the cache to it’s home - TFTC Blundo Busters, I really enjoyed it!
Needed to wait for the muggle car to leave before we swooped on this one, took a bit of searching, TFTC.
On the way back from the cache at the oval we made a nice quick find on this one now the zone was muggle free. TFTC
The coordinates were about 8m off for us but luckily we’d done one like his before so knew where to look. Quick find. Cheers!
We also found this Cache during our tour through this area.
Thank you

We’re grabbing some caches before the heat of the day. This one we almost gave up . TFTC
A childless night so geohubby and I went for a hunt.
Geohubby had already logged this so he made me work for this one.

Having spent a few days away from this cache, and choosing a much quieter time to search, I have turned the blue frown into a yellow smilie!!
I honed straight in on the cache this time, seems second time is a charm.

I searched for about 10 minutes and I was interrupted by a muggle questioning my presence in the area.
This probably isn't a cache to be done during peak hour traffic. Will return at a more appropriate time.

A tough find as the cache had been pushed too far into its hidey hole... Managed to fashion a tool from nearby materials, which we left very close for the next cacher... TFTC
Parked on the opposite side of the road and then walked over to GZ. Had no problems in finding this cache. The cache was found quickly and easily. The log was signed and then the cache was replaced as found. Thank you Blumdo Busters for the series.
Tftc. Due to the weather our GPS had us further down the fence. After looking at the satellite map and resorting to previous logs, we soon had CIH.
Tried to find this one my first time geocaching 2x not finding one I'll try next time plus it was a bad walk as there were many spikes/thorns not very happy
Lovely day for outing to geocaching. all good condition cache and thanks for leading me here

Not having a good day with finding Blundo Busters caches today. Parked opposite GZ and to my dismay, the place was crawling with workers. Went for an initial recon walk but nothing caught my eye. Decided to walk over to a nearby cache and hoped that work here would be completed. On my return, there were still plenty of vans, but the workers had congregated far enough away to give me an opportunity to search. Bingo - found in the first spot I checked.

#3258 Night geobiking 2 of 5 in good weather. Took a while, but was not fenced in to find. Many thanks to Blundo Busters for establishing and maintaining another regional cache.
Out and about night caching with my fave crew members, AWTYOW and Pitman Clan. TFTC
An impromptu night caching adventure brought us here. Dwight Shrute quickly had the CIH making this cache a good start to the night. TFTC!

On an overcast day, ozuk and I came here and started to search for a while until I got it phew! TFTH.
After a failure at Too Nocturnal this was my back-up to fill a calendar vacancy.

Found.TFTC. Difficult to remove from it's hide but managed with the proper tools. My 299th cache. Next one will be in Japan.
Nice and easy! For a tip for those who can't find, the relationship to the access way across the street is very accurate (on the app) log signed and cache returned. TFTC!
