Unfortunately, I think the rock that hid the cache has possibly fallen into the creek. The rock wall is now quite steep and exposed and not very user friendly. The fallen trees and new development across the creek also reduce the appeal here.
I think my old age is catching up with me for maintenance too, so this one is best left to fond memories.

There was quite a good flow in "Dry Creek" today.
I did not feel brave enough to climb down the steep slope and into the water so its a DNF for us today.

Quick stop here this morning, cache was easily found and is all good
This morning sucked out for a few caches around the eastern suburbs before the crowds had woken up. Total of 22 finds for the morning
Thanks for the cache

Scrambled down the slope and poked around a bit before locating the cache. Today was a Goldilocks sort of day for this cache...not too hot (so no snakes) and not too wet (so not too slippery). Nice hide. TFTC.
Replaced. Sorry about log "book" but it is waterproof paper.
Kept in place with an old sofa spring, might work better than previous stick attempts.

2nd time here and still no luck. Seems this is missing as per previous logs too. Can CO please check
I'll try to get up that way next week, might take a minute to get a new container made.
Had a few minutes at lunch today and was nearby so had a clamber down and look around, but came up empty-handed. Maybe next time.
Had a really good look around, scraped my hands... and still nothing. Think I found where it should have been...
I’ll come back to this spot another time I have a feeling that it has been placed in a different spot and was difficult to find great fun out though
Favourite one yet super fun climb, though my girlfriend was not enjoying watch me climb around. Lovely little spot I never knew existed. [B]
I had seen this once before, and having not read the hint, thought I needed a TOTT to extract it. Returned today and it was in a different place, see previous post. Now it doesn’t want to stay where it was previously. I’ve messaged the CO. Thanks for the afternoon adventure.
On reflection it may of not been smart attempting this at dusk alone. Luckily I didn't fall in the mire where the cache was.
Placed it in a position above High Tide in a concealed position.
CO may wish to recheck for cachecreep as I did this BFE Style, therefore I have no idea where it should have been.

I quickly spotted this one from above, then clambered down to retrieve and sign.
There are two TBs in the cache, rather than just the one listed.
Thanks FourW for the cache.

Whoa! Nearly lost my footing. Spotted the cache easily. Getting to it is another matter. Be safe. Clever hide
Looked all above in trees but wasn’t going down the. Rocks if that’s were it is.
On the way home from work I made a short detour to grab a couple of caches in a sunny afternoon.
After scoping out GZ, I finally decided the easiest approach. A short scramble down and I had the cache in hand.
Thanks for the cache.

Quick find on a geocaching date with DanielJames96. Watching Daniel almost fall into the creak was the highlight of the day! TFTC guys
Got to GZ but couldn’t get the bloody cache open! Grazed my hand open trying lol.
When I arrived I thought it might be difficult to get to. From below didn’t look that great at night as the dry creek was quite wet. Strolled above and spied it. The banks were a bit soft on retrieval but manageable. The hardest part was getting the cache open.
TFTC.
After writing my log and thinking about the cache name I realised that the cache may not be where the CO intended, so I went back for another look. As I suspected the cache is not where it fits, but is really close. I noticed that it has been replaced fairly recently though, so I’m not certain if it fits anymore. Perhaps it doesn’t. If it is supposed to be where it fits, it may need to be put back where it fits. I would have done this, but have read many CO notes (on other caches) asking finders to return to where they found it, rather than putting it where they think it should be, so I have done that rather than move it.

Yay TFTC FourW!! Rather slippery after all of this tremendous rain, what a great place for a cache, cool container. Worthy of another planet souvenir coming our way. Cheers
A return visit now that the cache has been replaced. Yes it did fit only now it fits too well! now the clever container fits right through so we had to replace it under its hidey hole. Maybe the CO would place some selastic ir similar to keep it in? Thanks for the cache and placement Just because it fits ___ Find Number #3815 at 10:10 Hours
Another Tuesday Trekking day out with Mrs. S.A. Sewer Rats. Today's target was to go and find some Multi caches and more puzzles but of course any others that were in the vicinity of those target caches. [8)]
The dry creek had water in it. And it was a little way down and steep to get there. And there was the fence. Looked at the terrain rating. [B)] Yep, had to be down there somewhere. [^] So over I went and pretty soon had the cache in hand. Yep. it does just fit.

A return trip to this cache.
First time I was here the cache was not.
So Brisal was kind enough to stop here.
I had to deploy the Geotool to fetch the cache for me and return it to the hidey hole tftc

Thanks for the interesting find. Wear the right footwear to cross rocks for this one! TFTC
Had trouble finding this one last visit but tonight by torchlight found it straight away, creek was flowing nicely tonight TFTC FourW
Love this one! A cool cache was located and it's log was signed at 12:25 on Sun. 23 Apr 2017. It indeed does fit... perfectly! dropped off some animal swag, TN. Replaced the cache carefully with the stick beneath properly in place [^] TFTC FourW
Found with Csaba! and SupaOrange before I had a caching name. A very late log. Turtle out.
It still fits but only just. It is very big. Held in place with a stick wedged in the gap by the base. If the next finders can be really careful pushing it back out with a stick, that would be good.
Happy caching!
Happy caching!
Yep, that last photo seems conclusive. I don't get over that side of town as often, so just hang on a bit....
I may have to engineer a better way to keep it in place too.

Found where we though it would be and looked everywhere no cach in sight almost fell between two boulders
Day 196 of "consecutive days with finds". Cache #1296.
Today I had an appointment on Salisbury, and I tried this cache on my way there.
Parked my car on the parking area near GZ, I realised I had a problem ---- I'm wearing business suits and shoes. If I know what I should do to get the cache, I'll wear different shoes! But since I did not have too many opportunities to explore that area, I decided to take the risk, and have a try anyway.
I'm moving very slowly, with extra extra extra care. Glad I have a pair of garden gloves in my geocaching kit. Rocks are a bit wet, ground is a bit muddy, and I try my best not to fall into the creek. A cat jumped by, like it's not a problem at all. I wish I can move like a cat.
Finally reached GZ. Cache was found easily. It does fit. Took nothing, left nothing. Signed the log book, and put it back. Then slowly slowly, I returned to the car park. Safe.
By the way, I was 5 minutes late for the appointment. Did not expect it took so long. So fellow cachers, please wear suitable shoes, and leave enough time for this cache.
Thanks for the cache, FourW. I like this cache.

I should have entered this as owner maintenance ages ago. Sorry. Should be good as of last finder.
Found this one last year but couldn't open it so was excited to see that people had found it recently! Went back and was able to open the new cache much to our delight ☺ TNLNSL, TFTC ☺ #46
Have had a number of half-hearted attempts at this one but today's conditions were favourable for this one (in that I was hear during the day, not late at night). Replaced as found for a daily smiley. TFTC
Had been watching this one after an unsuccessful attempt at finding some months ago.
Recent logs said it was back, so off I went over the edge!
Cache was conveniently sitting in full view right by its hidey hole.
Signed and returned to the hole with the required sticks to help locate cache safely as per CO note!
If the cache fits...

Apparently, the device holding the tube is now too short (spoiler alert). Could the next finder take a length of raw tree (otherwise known as a stick) to prop the cache in place? There should be plenty on the ground, no need to break anything off, and it should make sense once you get there.
Thanks. I will try to get back there soon.
Thanks. I will try to get back there soon.
Found late at night amongst all the very active nocturnal creatures that inhabit this GZ. Spotted the hiding spot from over the fence, and then the cache, not in it's hiding spot. It had fallen through and was wedged way down in a crevice. Managed to extract it, and placed it higher up pending a replacement proping tool. This has been my nearest unfound traditional for a very long time, but no more. Thanks for a fantastic and adventurous higher terrain cache in an urban area, they are far too rare these days! TFTC FourW!
Awesome hide!! Loved this one, got my heart pumping easily retrieved signed put back. TFTC
If it's the holmac container in the rock, me and Vio found it... But it's impossible to remove. Good luck people, this is a tough one.
Finally, I made it back to check on the fit. The rocks have moved about a little over time, so the cache container must have fallen a long way and probably washed away in a flood. The stick is now an integral part of the hide, so please use it when rehiding. It will make sense when you get there.
I didn't have a replacement when I came past the other day, so I'll put this one off line for a while.
Such a shame that this one has gone awol. Definately missing as we looked with a previous finder, the hidey hole is empty and there was nothing nearby resembling the cache

Enjoyed a bit of 'Rock Climbing' this morning. Stopped for lunch at the Bakery opposite after the find. TFTC
Understood the hint and terrain rating on getting to the GZ!! Nice hide ..... a favourite!!!
That was cool. Don't know that tall is critical but stick with it and you will succeed. TFTC. TNLNSL
My first cache! It took a few minutes to locate but when I saw it, I knew it would be there.
Found it. Very well hidden. Very very very hard to open. Didn't bring a pen but I found it!!!
Geoteen had to go after this one, geomums legs too short. Good spot amongst the rocks. Thanks for the cache!!
Very cool spot and found it almost immediately. The lid was a bit hard to get off.
Today we visited this location with the cache owner. Despite being taken to the area of GZ, it still took aminute or so before this exceptionally well hidden cache was located. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache FourW and for bringing us to this lovely location. This high quality hide earns a favourite from us.
Sat lock terrible
Went in blind. Wasn't in the first place I looked. After a bit of a sashay, wiggle and jiggle the cache was in hand
Nice hide
