I do not normally action NA logs without any recent relevant NM logs but the previous NM log is relevant as the cache was shifted and the CO did not respond to it and change the listing.
CO has 28 days to fix both problems.

Doubt it's here. The new coordinates are in the paved area surrounded by concrete or glass. The only possibility for buried cache is screwed down and VERY exposed to muggles
Love this quiet oasis on info day

We were back again for another attempt at this one but ended up adding our name to the ever-growing list of DNFers.
Perhaps a casche check is in order by The Secret Society to make sure it still exisits.

The spot is nice
We went there twice
No cache was found
As we lay on the ground.

I looked at the most likly spots around. especially the once under ground near the lady which would have made for some good hides albite the Muggel factor. Could not spot it.

Well this one had us stumped. A really nice spot though, so thanks for bringing us here.
Like the last cache here today. Just too many people walking around to be able to search for this.
Spent a few hours at UNSW for the Open Day today with eldest geoson, and I convinced and/or cajoled him into looking for a few caches.
A long queue had formed here right past GZ as they were handing out free sausage sandwiches. But it seems the cache had been moved and the co-ords updated, so without that info we would have been looking in the wrong place anyway.

Out of light, time and in the rain I desperately resorted to a "hint" from a seasoned campaigner for the 2nd crack at this one. It is there and clean and dry. Searching can be done without trashing the garden.
Found with a gaggle of boys from Normanhurst Boys High School whilst on break from Robocup.
Not many people around today, nice and peaceful spot to relax also during the week
GPS had has bouncing all over the courtyard. We searched many areas but came up empty handed. Will have to come back for this one.
While out here at Unsw attending a pubgaine event, decided to finally get smileys in the area!
This one's GPS had me all over the place! Running out of time, I had to do a PAF and the cache was very quickly found!
Tftc!

One of my very first finds. Had been here before and knew the area, since I study at UNSW but was pretty clueless about where it was. Came with another cacher tonight and finally found it! Had a blast and will keep on caching in the future.
With the area to ourselves we had time for a lengthy search but even after following the instructions, we still came up empty-handed this time. We will be back for another look at the fountain (and another attempt) soon - UNSW is just a place of DNFs for us today.
Found it with HMS Beagle.
Wasn't too hard to find, once we started looking in the right spot.

Took us a lot longer to find than should have, got there in the end =D @Holteender <3
Arrrrggghhhhhh...........first night mission and have come up empty handed. Searched under things metal.... On knee, a search in the water. Widened search area into the green..... No luck.....will be interested to see who and where cache turns up..... One to come back for.
Hi, cleaned Cachebox and replaced logbook. Cache is back now at the place I found it. It is around 10m out of Coordinates, new coords are S 33° 55.098 E 151° 13.829, Happy caching.
wet inside, took it home and will maintain it during this week. Will put it back latest by the end of this back. TFTC
Muggle wife attended a seminar at UNSW, I did a cache tour at UNSW. This was the hardest searched for 20 minutes,gps was out 10m plus....Finally found it at can confirm that cache is totally wet inside. Took the cachebox home and will replace LB in the next days. TFTC
The interior of the cache container is sodden and the log cannot be read or signed. It needs to be taken away for a good drying.
The cache is still about 8m away from the GZ coordinates. It's still soaking wet because the o-ring seal for the Sistema container was in the container rather than in the groove on the lid- I have replaced the seal but this means that the contents will stay wet indefinitely until maintenance is provided. A word of warning - if you go looking under the hatches in the ground near GZ, you'll need to know what a red-back spider looks like and to keep your hand out of the many webs. There are several red-backs visible. TFTC!
I was in the area celebrating my own new beginning, and presenting an award to a deserving student.
Used the recent logs to find this one. A good size and would be a great find if it weren't so wet. Just needs a bit of TLC to regain its former glory. Signed some currency inside.

Found with themadcaddie. Couldn't sign log book too wet. Fun day out though. Tftc.
Found it with Samiesosa. Needs maintenance as the log is wet and has new coordinates. Read The Hunting Rabbit's post.
Being a UNSW student I have always been keen to find this cache, however the area was always too filled with muggles to retrieve it. I knew I had an opportunity this morning, however to my horror, last week I saw contractors cleaning out the suspected location, and I fear that they have removed the cache, as it is nowhere to be found.
After reading all the logs, I was confident about where this cache would be hiding, but today ... nothing there! I will wait till the cache is confirmed by the next cacher, who may not be as blind as I!
Ohh Naked Lady.. she has too many friends. Tried looking in the seemingly obvious place with being suspect but I couldn't see anything
After dinner with a friend who's a post-doctoral research fellow in acoustics we took Mrs THR on a tour of the UNSW campus. Whilst we were at Max Brenner and discussing geocaching we showed him this one and he knew exactly where it was...the naked lady fountain. We approached GZ in the dark and began our search. After an extensive search Dr THR got down on one knee and felt around the fountain and naked lady statue. No luck in any crevice checked. Then Mrs THR found the cache in a pile of rubbish of the ground. The cache was soaking wet and at risk of being discarded so we put it in the bushes just over the wall (between the brick wall and the bushed) behind the bench in hopes that the CO can fix it up and keep it going.

My GPSr wanted me west into the building, a paf pointed me to the place to inspect. I opened it and as I replaced it a newbie cacher stood nearby and watched! "How long have you been caching?" I asked, "Since yesterday" she said, gotta love apps...
Cache was absolutely soaked, log is destroyed and mouldy. Might need a more water proof container.
Great spot for a hide!! I had to think twice about where was
Shame it was soaked to the bone though, couldn't sign the log

Right spot but muggleful day - not entirely sure we can lift the cover in full view!
Fairly easy find. Sunday afternoon is a great time to go caching around here as there are few muggles although a lot of mosquitos!
Poked around for a bit before getting clues from the logs and then trying a few spots a few times prior to the find.
Soaked through, added a receipt as a temporary log. Definitely requires a log replacement.
Thanks for the cache!

Needs maintenance the book was really gross and slimey so wrote on a piece of paper instead and left a few pieces for others to write on tftc !
Unfortunately the log is a touch on the sodden side but everything else is in good order. Had me fooled for moment
The garden maintenance guys are in the know! I was sitting in the garden, trying to decide which areas to check swiftly once the muggle stampede settled, and one of the maintenance guys made eye contact with me, and held it, proceeded to the spot and knocked on it. No words exchanged. Suspicion confirmed. Came back today to claim the find and drop off a beautiful trackable. If you take the nan trackable please drop it off somewhere lovely. TFTC SSUNSW!!
Stopped by on a morning of caching with Mum and Dad. Took a quick photo of a trackable I had in my possession on its travels through Sydney
Nice day out with my wife, Viola, and daughter, SSSonya. Haven't been to UNSW in years (if not decades), having graduated as Chemical Engineer in 1980. Nice quiet Sunday, even the GPS was having trouble focussing. In my entire 4 years at UNSW, had never been to this little park location (maybe wasn't there, then?). The hint is in reading the cache description "word for word", especially the prose at the end (which I would like to request is made the hint, please). Would likely have logged a DNF if it was not for SSS's "assistance". TFTC.
Nope not for us, on this Sunday we had GZ to ourselves and after some search we lifted the lid of the sarcophagus - empty - maybe we knelt down with the wrong knee or are just blindfolded - thanks anyhow

No luck for us here late on a Friday afternoon. But it's a gorgeous little place as so many of the campus courtyards are. We'll be back. Cheers... Gaztek
Glad to finally knock this one over. I was at uni when this was published and couldn't find it then. I also couldn't find it another time I tried (although I didn't look very hard). But finally after reading some logs I realised where it must be and went straight for it this time. In fact I've known where it must be for quite some time but just never got around to finding it... So that's why I'm glad to finally find it! TFTC!
Just about everything needs replacing. The log was soaking wet and we were unable to write it in. I suggest a far more watertight container.
The cache and logbook are very wet. Log book is unsignable. CO may want to pay this one a visit to dry out the cache and replace the log book. Cheers
Up from Canberra visiting the family, so that meant it was time for the geobro, Goldfinger777 and I to get out and about on an afternoon geomission
Being a bit of a nerd, I enjoyed walking around UNSW checking it out on the way to GZ Love the courtyard and the sculpture-very serine! But...on with the search! The GPS's were swirling a bit for us here so after searching a few spots at first, I spied something that looked promising. So on bended knee I went and ahaa! There it is! The logbook is VERY wet. In fact, it is unsignable. I have taken a photo of the log/cache if CO wants proof of the find.
Thanks for the hide, Thesecretsocietyunsw

Gave this a lot of time, but now at home and more thought I know where I did not look. TFTC
# 938 Took far longer than it should have as I was paying far to much notice of the compass needle that was spining around in circles at one point.
Once I put it away and looked at my suroundings, was in the first place I looked.
Managed to put my name in the log, but it is completely soaked.

An unfortunate fortune. As I have one of my kids in the nearby kids hospital i am going to spent quit a few hours in the area the next couple of days. Today I started at this side of the campus during my break and made two simular finds ( I think?)
The area has recently been uplifted and looks really good, however to keep it like that they must have used a lot of water, as the cache was soaking wet.

Found while on a big geo trip away with tmann421.
Sorry for the late & repeat logs as just catching up now.
A great time had, some wonderful places seen, thanks to all the NSW geo cachers.
