Hi The McMullen Family,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 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

Pretty sure this is no longer here

Nothing here.

Thought we’d stop by while walking the dog but saw all the old logs so didn’t spend too much time searching around. Hope it’s replaced soon!

Owners helped us out and the cache is gone

Walked up to this one and the owners had a few people out the back, the lady asked if we were looking for the geocache, we said yes and she pointed to the garden, the man came over and had a quick look and said it was gone.

Oops, DNF!

Found!

222acu army cadet challenge.

Thank you for bringing us here!

Staying at Depot Beach for the weekend from Sydney. We had a DNF here when we visited on 23 July 2016 and were a bit freaked out by being so close to the private property. Today, it was just as uncomfortable. This time there were visitors at the home. They all, including kids, weirdly ignored us, not even looking up as we approached. Except that their dog came up to us with a low growl - not good. We scratched around for a while not wanting to go too near until the littlest kid came over and asked if we would like a hint. As soon as he indicated that generally area we zoomed onto the container. Had a nice chat with the kids and waved a thanks to the adults but it still felt really uncomfortable. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

Rounded up the usual suspects early this morning and headed out to see what we might find today, which turned out to be twenty-plus caches on the day and included five different cache types and a variety of terrains. Thanks to the cache owners for taking the time to make our game more interesting and enjoyable.

Teamed up with Bonfire7 and 154Crows for a day of caching. Picked off more than a dozen physical caches and a few Adventure Lab experiences. Nearly all caches were found in good condition. Thanks to all Cache Owners for their contribution to this recreational activity.

A last minute decision to go to Bateman's Bay for a bit of caching, visiting friends and planning the next big caching adventure. Weather was very ordinary on the way here, but turned wonderful as soon as I started caching.

No inner container or logbook in the cache, it is currently empty. Will need maintenance!

Felt a little invasive looking for this one, boy that house is close!
Luckily it was a lot easier than the D rating suggested and I spotted the camo quickly. Unfortunately there is no logbook however, or no inner container in the camo either. It is in dire need of maintenance.

I have uplaoded a photo proof of my find in lieu of it not having a log.

Thanks!

All you need to do is take notice of the clue stand back look for the rocks then do your search

pretty good hide this one. it needs replacement. paper is not looking good anymore. tftc!

Out and about on the trip home and this cache was on the list.
it turned out to be an easy find however it felt as though i may be on private property but all good.
Our thanks to The McMullen Family for the cache.

Quick find considering the rating. Tftc. It helped to know hpuse holder was ok with it.

A quick find with frmen1. Unfortunately, we didn't have anything of equal or greater value to swap for the 'swag' (we were fantasizing that the nearby vessel was a ftf prize lol) TFTC

Easy find, nice little suburb. TFTC

Cache no 3, my sister and I found this one after a short search, loved the container type

Our etrex was a little out here. However, the hint made for a quick find. TFTC

A little too invasive for my liking. I felt very sheepish while explaining to a local what this was all about. I might leave this one. Thanks though McMillan Family

Log may need replacing because it is a bit wet TFTC

We had a DNF here. After reading the description and previous logs, we honed in on an area, but due to time constraints we had to pass this one up.

I'm sure we will grab this one next time! Thanks anyway

When we arrived at GZ it was obvious that the hide was elsewhere. So, guided by the hint, we widened our search area and quickly found the cache but at a distance of 17m from the published coordinates. The cache and contents were in good condition. After replacing the cache re took a number of measurements and the average location for the cache was S35 44.750 E160 12.380. We hope that these help others to find the cache. Thanks The McMullen Family for the cache.

Bring in town this was one of the ones on our list. Like others we thought this was a little close but a re read of the cache page put us at ease. A fair bit of searching and wandering GPSr looked like we would give up but in the likely spot we dug a bit deeper and made the solid find. We added our name and re hid. TFTC

Wanders around for ages looking at rocks!!! No joy and no muggle help!! I'll Come back another day

Found this one after reading other people’s comments coordinates are a bit off.

Took us a while to find it. TFTC

Day two of our mini-break in Batemans Bay. This one took a few minutes to find as my GPSr initially took me some distance away. I felt a bit conspicuous here even though there appeared to be no one around. Perhaps the CO lives nearby? Thanks McMullen Familky for the cache and adding to my global geocaching experiences. Cheers.

After taking my mate to aldi for the new sale, he had to accompany me while caching. So while i hunted he played with his new toy in the car.
A quick find here. Thanks for the cache.

Parked. Wandered up past a very nice boat and met one of the residents, who winked and hinted at a certain area. I had a good idea what I was seeking, so the find was quick. We then had a pleasant chat, before hopping in the car for a kilometre back to our apartment. TFTC The McMullen Family

On a hot holiday aternoon at the seaside... with the family snoozing. What should a girl do? Oh yes, go geocaching..... I discoverd that Thomas Mitchell rocks and so do the lizards in the area and the friendly natives... Nice hide.

TFTC The McMullen Family

I didn't see anyone about, which made searching easier. I stood at GZ and looked for likely places. I found the cache in the second place I looked, about eleven metres from GZ. My GPS preferred: S 35° 44.750 E 150° 12.380. TFTC The McMullen Family.

Walk in private property but found it

The property owners may have known about the cache, but that did not stop a bunch of neighbours breaking their necks to see where we were going.

Thank McMullen Family and geetings from New Zealand.

The fire put us off for awhile but eventually went straight to it. Tftc

Felt a bit intrusive but good cache. Found with david343. TFTC

Awesome cache - thank you!

Found quickly with froggy cache. Found acknowledged by friendly on looking neighbours. Tftc!

Found it

As we walked up it literally looked like we'd be searching in someone's backyard - and someone was at home watching us. Apparently they're cache friendly, so we felt (a little) less awkward rummaging around in their garden.

I had a feeling we'd be looking for this container so a realtively quick find once we had the actual location down.

TFTC The McMullen Family

Found with my bro

Oh dear, we missed it! We were not sure how recent the fire damage was? We did have a good look around though... Next time!

Found @ 9:19am before heading back to Canberra

Took a couple of minutes to hone in GZ after waiting for a dog walking muggle to pass.

An aptly named cache neatly tucked away.

Had walked in via the nearest street but took the trail back, very nice.

Thanks The McMullen Family

Found with Youban, 10mtrs off, but went by the hint and the geokids soon had it in hand. Hate caches right next to peoples houses, I feel so intrusive. Tftc The McMullen Family!!!

Out with dty73 & made good use of Geo GrandKids imaginations. Thanks for a good hide. Kutgw

Took and good few minutes searching even with 5 geokiddies on the case. Nice hide. Thanks.

Found with nissan 65 on a few days south for a caching adventure. Thankyou for the cache

Found with cullum68 on our days away in batemans bay thanks for the cache

Took awhile to find the access point. Might be an idea to list it as a waypoint? TFTC.

Found by Mary & David at 1050. We're here from Melbourne for a few days. Staying in a cottage with our Canberra daughter, son-in-law and our two oldest grandchildren, plus a special UK family that we met when we were all in Dayton, Ohio, a couple of years ago. Only a few months since we cached around Batemans Bay, but we didn't get to this one. We're on a caching streak, so we had to head out today. The local resident was out sitting under his car port, and asked if we were looking for the Geo-thingy. Completed our mission and he gave us the thumbs up. Our thanks to The McMullen Family.

Found with Coybear2000. We were visiting friends in the area and we decided to go for this one. We got onto a path of the reserve. Our friend showed us a bower bird's bower on the way, but we didn't see the male bird. Soon we were at GZ and we started our search. After some minutes we found the well hidden cache. The log was full and luckily we had a spare piece of paper with us. TFTC

Out with Trodectus for the find, this was near where we were staying so was a short walk, inspected bower bird bower. Arrived GZ and after short search had tricky little cache. Log signed and returned with extra paper as log full. TFTC

Gotcha - Found soon enough. Love those rocks.

A tricky little hide,it blends in well here
TFTC

No chance with little kids playing at GZ.

A nice little bit of suburbia that we were skulking around trying to look unsuspicious. Found the cache quickly once we were at the right spot . . . now let's get out of here before someone thinks we're trying to steal Bruiser! TFTC The McMullen Family.

Today we explored Tomakin and surrounds using geocaching as a guide and picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them. An easy find.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

thought our co-ords were off but wasnt. found, nice and quick. tftc

Up grabbing a few early morning caches before too many muggles. Wandered upto GZ and eventually made the find 9m off GZ co-ords. Felt a bit out in the open.
Thanks The McMullen Family for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.

Such a cool place for a cache. Thanks!

This was a DNF for us but also a Did Not Look Hard. Despite the homeowner being aware of the cache we just didn't think it was right to mess with any of his rocks while searching. And since the hide did not immediately reveal itself, we pulled the pin on our search. Cheers... Gaztek

I am in the area for a couple of weeks house sitting.
I arrived the other day during Stormageddon with out power.
So this morning I decided to head out for a walk find those close to home caches.
The beaches are looking a little littered with seaweed and other debris.
A short searach before spotting the cache tucked away. [^]
The cache and contents are dry.
Thanks for the cache.

Tftc felt a little awkward, but had fun tftc

Out and about today caching in Batemans Bay and surrounds and this was one we found. We are glad the homeowners know what is going on in their garden bed. Took longer than it should but located the hide. TFTC

Pretty quick find, seen a few of these now. Nice boat! Found with The Matetrix. TNLNSL TFTC

Found with IamCoust. TNLNSL TFTC

Still safe

Nice hide found with other cachers.Jenne G and Budgy TFTC

Found it. We really liked this type of cache

#1940 16 of 19 today.

I was lucky enough to get Easter Tuesday off work so I headed out to the coast. It was a bit ordinary weather-wise with fog on the Clyde Mountain and a few showers about.

It was raining by this time so I was after quick finds. Sadly this was not. I should have stuck to the basics as I would have found it promptly.

Thanks for the cache The McMullen Family.

Found it

AWESOME spot, looks completely REAL!! TFTC

We left our numbers send us a message

Sick spot, love it!

Intro'd Hannah, Oscar & Ali to their first cache.

Find Number 803, found at 13:23

We had to take a friend to Batemans Bay so while she was visiting a sick relative and Gill was shopping, Tony went a-caching.

I drove aroundfor a few minutes looking for a way to get into the area behind the houses and eventually parked right by the house with the cache in. I'm glad the description said that the house owners are aware of the cache because it did feel a bit exposed there. I was confident that I knew what to look for, since I have found a couple of these in the past. I turned over a coulpe of red herrings before I spotted the cache hiding in plain sight.

The cache was in good condition. We took nothing, left nothing, signed the log and replaced the container as found.

Thanks The McMullen Family for the cache.

Quick find
Left star to shine

Very clever. Only our second geocacge was gard to find but got there after 10-15 mins. Littleexplorersaus

Gotcha! TFTC

Came around the correct way at first but thought the access way looked a bit private. Came around from another street at the rear and the access alley at least had fences both sides. Wasn't until I got to GZ that I noticed the residents knew about the cache so I need not have worried. Still too me a bit of running around in circles before I pinned it down.
Thanks

TFTC and the help xx
