Good Day,

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

After having abandoned my outing to Kama before the day's kangaroo culling began, I needed somewhere else nearby for a few caches. This area presented an easy solution.

I found this one after several minutes. It isn't that hard (the string of earlier DNFs is surprising; maybe it had moved or something), but my GPS was a fair way out. I fixed the previous finder's log, which had the wrong month - I only realised later I signed all of today's logs with the wrong date myself. D'oh. TFTC Smile

A quick find while out with allrounder as she did some cache maintenance on a Fore! cache nearby.
A few cars in the area so I had allrounder place her geo-vehicle in a position to cover.
The container and contents are wet.

After our morning hike at Mt Majura the rest of the family was wedging out at home but I was in the mood for some more caching around Belconnen. Got a big step closer to cleaning out the Belconnen suburbs.

Surprisingly quick find after the row of DNFs. Not it the first place I looked but also not far off. I guess if there are people busy next dor it might be awkward to search there. TFTC. Very wet container, not broken but still very wet inside, see pic.

Will try again sometime.

Out for a spot of regular weekly night caching with CBRChic. We were back in Belconnen tonight to finish off a trail we started 2 weeks ago. A nice clear but cool night to be out.

Couldn't find this one. We gave this one a good search for about 15 mins before having to admit defeat.

Thanks anyway gecko1968

Headed out for a bit of night caching with nibletricecakes & b0tmun in pursuit of my 1000th find.

After collecting one nearby, this was the next on the list. Nibletricecakes came up with not one but two finds so we signed both and replaced.

I headed over to Gold Creek for a birthday celebration and took the opportunity to pick up some geocaches along the way. I tried to find this cache some time ago and concluded that it must have been lost, but thought I would have another go given that others had found it. And find it (or both, actually) I did, but it was several metres east of where the GPS was directing me. Thank you gecko1968 for installing and maintaining this cache.
 
12-Feb-17
Found 11:58 12/2/17, on our way home. There were two sistema containers right next to each other. Thank you gecko1968 for the cache.

F(H)ound It! #1697 - @12:25:34 PM

I pulled up under the shade of a tree and left the fan on for the Ridgeo-pup while I made a quick grab - or so I thought. I looked about and then widened my search and still came up with nothing. Went back to the car, turned the key ...and nothing happened. While I was calling the NRMA a car pulled up. Well what do you know its IAmCoust and Jrs. He found the cache(s) while I was on the phone. Weirdly there were two containers so we signed both. Waved goodbye but the rescue jump start wasn't much longer still I was glad I parked in the shade. The tech said I should run the car for an hour to charge up the battery again so I went for a drive to Uriarra Crossing and the RP had a swim. Thanks for the cache, gecko1968.
 
05-Feb-17
Found with The Matetrix, geokids 2 and 3. What a stinker, glad we had the morning at the pool. Pulled in the driveway, thought ahhhh what's this muggle doing here. Turned out it was ZimbaW. Unfortunately she had a flat battery but NRMA were on the way. Made a quick find, but two caches at GZ. Figured one was an old and lost but found again. We signed both, and with assurance help wasn't too far away we zoomed off to the kids interactive workshops in town. TNLNSL TFTC

Called to Higgins this morning to attend to a fallen tree. Stopped by this cache afterwards. Coordinates were a bit out according to my phone, but the hint made for an easy find. Thanks, Gecko1968
 
31-Dec-16
Nope, couldn't find this one today, the only one too good for me. Found 17 others though.
 
18-Nov-16
Another nice sunny day and I was in the mood for some caching-so off I went for a mid afternoon mini mission! Big Grin

Noticed there was no one home at the location so wandered up the driveway from the car to start the search. Seems like I found two for the price of one here! Big Grin I choose the larger of the two to leave my mark in the logbook! Hopefully the residents aren't called out too often this upcoming summer!

Thanks for the hide, gecko1968 CoolBig Grin

Found on this freezing cold winter Sunday on a short geo-mission after a week and a half sick with the dreaded super bug that sunk me a couple of years ago. We attempted this one some time ago, spent forever looking to no avail. JetFuselage groaned when we pulled it, having remembered our last search, but we had it in hand about 10 seconds later so it was definitely gone last time we looked. JF swapped some swag then I signed the log for us. TFTC gecko1968

Sunday 3 July 2013 - a most magnificent sunny still day without a cloud in the sky at 13 degrees C. An early start to make the most of the last day of my 5 weeks leave. I didn't intend to walk as far as I did but with a car to take me quickly to the start of the easy track down to the river and a peaceful location. This cache was picked up on the way home because it was quick and easy. While not a priority for today's walk I found 5 from 5 caches and the coords for the 'Murrumbiidgee Mouth' multi-cache to find another day. TFTC.
 
02-Jul-16
It was a gloriously sunny Winter day today, so we took The Woofer for a nice long caching hike in and around Pinnacle Nature Reserve. Saw some amazing views and found all the caches on our list, which is always a bonus!

We had to stand nearby and chat for a while as some muggle kids on bikes were riding past GZ. A nice quick find once they had gone. TFTC!
 
02-Jul-16
A quick drive by, literally drove up to cache. Tftc

This cache was inactive when I rode my bike through the area to find a few others, a few months ago ... and I forgot to look it up when I drove past a few weeks ago and found the other one that had been missing at the time ... but that meant it was handy to drive by and grab this for my daily find to keep my streak going (now at least one find/day for almost 4 weeks ... which is pretty good compared to my previous record of about 3 or 4 days in a row - lol)
I like wine, and I like grapes - so I took the cute purple TB ... (which also made more room for the several little things I put in there as swaps for the path tag and the tiger that I also took Smile
TFTC - good spot for a good reminder of the good work these people do Smile

Found this packed cache on very rainy afternoon - a perfect opportunity to have a teenage learner driver take me around to a few caches. Hopped back in the geo-golf to check out all the goodies inside while out of the pouring rain for a few moments. Signed the book and returned everything back the way it was found.
Thanks Gecko!

Cache will be back up and running this weekend and will remove inactive status. Thanks so much for your patience during land works
 
02-Jan-16
Thanks for your patience all. There has been ongoing extensive landscaping in the area of this cache. We do intend to replace but rather than lose more containers in the rebuild we will wait until finished. Be back on line soon.
 
26-Jul-15
Due to ongoing landscaping works will need to wait a few weeks before replacing this one.
 
09-Jul-15
Spent 15 mins with no joy.
 
06-Jun-15
I think previous posts are correct. This area has undergone some new landscaping and I think this is now not visible Sad
 
05-Apr-15
Not sure if this one is still there? Additional landscaping could have disrupted it, or I could be suffering from cache blindness.
 
05-Mar-15
I spent 15 minutes trying to find this - no muggles around. I'll watch to see when another person finds it before trying again. Thanks gecko 1958
 
06-Jan-15
Hi guys we checked this out today. Despite landscaping cache is still in place and good to go
 
03-Jan-15
Seconding what Angel said, there's been extensive landscaping at GZ. Cache is almost certainly gone.
 
12-Dec-14
Looks like there is some landscaping happening around the GZ, so this cache might be in danger....
 
12-Nov-14
Found on my way to work this morning. Fortunately someone had slashed some of the long grass which made the access to GZ a little easier.

Thanks gecko for the hunt but especially thank you for paying tribute to that fantastic group of volunteers. They do a wonderful job.
 
An easy drive by find. TFTC.

This took longer than it should have! I can only blame a night time search, the long grass, cache blindness and that fact that on one visit, there was a meeting at the shed! CO very kindly have us a specific direction and the cache was finally retrieved this evening. After all that, we took both TBs and HH3K was happy to get the path tag. We left a TB in return. Thanks Gecko1968 for this cache and the fun we had turning it up!

Finally found with AG27 after a few attempts and a hint from the CO. Thanx for the path tag! TFTC
