Hi Spartman,
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 28 days) 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 28 days 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.

Beautiful location and we were convinced we were in the right location- the lone tree in the garden with the hollow at the back obscured by the other plants. Unfortunately no cache container, just an eclipse tin lid.
DNF
Suspect, as per previous log, it has been muggled. It would have been so easy.

When we first got it There were two young boys there with them and they told us that they had recently chucked into the water
Good to change a frown into a smilie, no pen with us while out for a walk. So photo of log will have to do
Great spot to relax and maybe if it was warmer have a dip. The ducks were friendly and hungry. TFTC.
Great spot! Here on a lovely holiday with Grandma & decided to grab this cache with her, thanks for the fun!
A lovely cool breeze at this location. Opted to pass on this cache due to the chest high foliage.. maybe in winter..
Brought the kids for a relax in the park. Many muggles launching kayaks so look discretely. Didn't seem to be viable at all. Is it missing?
A trip to the very edge of my LGA for a walk and a bit of a reccy for the nearby puzzle caches I have solved. Great spot. Thanks for the cache and bringing me here.
Nice and quick find today! The cache is in need of maintenance though - very damp log, and the lid kept falling off.
TFTC!
TFTC!
Took me 2 goes, it wasn’t in tree I thought it was, and yes very spikey to get too, look for the open path.. great find first day 4/5
Pretty pleased I found this trend.

Great fun trying to find this one.. great spot. "It is a breath of freshness"
We found our first cache!! We looked pretty hard for it! The clue was good! Watch out for the spikes on the way to the hiding spot! We were hunting with Team Red Cow and signed the log with both team names! TFTC!
Bit hard to find but good find with the kids. Thanks for the hide. Logged in book

Found with My Dad (DJANT) and my Brothers (dart16 & Jedi Anakin) I have my own account now and am trying to catch up to the boys 
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.Spotted the throw down cache left by tneesharose first and checked a little more and found the cache was still there had the previous finder looked a little harder. Log was signed before replacing as found.
The throw down cache was removed as rubbish

It was a lot of fun to find! A bit hard because it’s small but it was really good! Thanks for makers it, me and my best friend fount it! (With a little bit of help from my BFF’s mum) good job!
Yes, it is a beautiful spot. Very windy here today which adds to the charm. As long as you’re not sailing. TFTC
had to look a bit yet it wasn't very hard, but overall heaps fun for the family! thanks
Out and about with EverestHigh and MaxAdventurer post St Valentine's Day.
After reading the previous logs, we decided to help out by replacing as CO seems inactive. Lots of leaves indicates it may have been removed in a cleanup. Nice spot by the lake. TFTC

Cache was definitely missing after 'gardening' done. Cache is replaced to keep it going. OCW MaxAdventurer and Brewmaker. TFTC
Spent a while searching for this but like last cacher DNF. Try again maybe.Thx anyway Spartan.
Came with THE-ELITE who were last to find and the cache seems to have been removed as a large pile of dead leaves has been placed here instead
After arriving at the campsite, we wanted to go for a little stroll. The cache lay on our way and of course we had to catch it. Quick and easy. T4TC
We will stay overnight at the Ingenia Holidays campsite. We use the afternoon to take a short walk to Vales Point Park and find the cache. It did not take long until we could log into the logbook. T4TC
8815 Located by baby&Mrs gopher at 1455. Sat and waited for the rain to stop and made the find. Then waited for another few minutes to replace between showers. All in good condition. SL Tnx Spartman.
After coming up for the Cachentine series this was a quick find.
Thanks for the cache

We soon found this cache during our late afternoon stroll along the waters edge. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and greetings from Zimbabwe
Found this afternoon with Beary_Unicorns, after a previous DNF. I'm certain this wasn't here previously, but always good to turn a blue sad face into a yellow smiley face, Trackables visited, TFTC.
We set up camp at Mannering Park and were well positioned so we could head out and do some caching. We teamed up with the Snakepiters and enjoyed the find in this scenic area. Thanks to Spartman for hiding this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.
Exploring this beautiful area with family visiting from South Africa. Cache is not there. Please can you have a look. Thanks. We found 2 goose eggs though!

A few days off and one of those days allocated to driving up to Morisset and surrounding area. Main attentioned is the "Be My Cachetine" series as well as part of the 'OZ Geomuster' series.
It was a great day with many finds in tranquil towns, along quiet road and great views of Lake Macquarie.
At the very tip of Mannering Park this little traditional was conveniently placed closed to a toilet facility. After finding the cache, I noticed a Asian couple walking, completely dressed up in winter coats. I was wearing a tee and shorts. Funny how people perceive temperature and what is cold and what is warm so differently.
