Hi contactpete,

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.

As a few others we found what is probably the main part of the cache, with the log container missing (shown is a photo). Maybe it's gone to use the local conveniences? I will return another day as I often pass by here, once she's returned from spending a penny!

We think we found it but couldn't access it.

Found where it should be (and a very nice spot) but appears the cache is now missing

Tools like the cache is missing.

Found it but the cache needs some
Maintenance. TFTC.

Our last morning in the area, so while some of the team had an after-breakfast swim, we went caching, mainly aiming to complete the reservoir series.
I agree with previous finders - this one needs maintenance, and maybe resiting.... it is dangling by a single screw, and the container seems to be missing now judging by the hole in the side. Great idea, would be better away from the toilets though I think....

Found today on a nice little cache drive through the areas around our accomodation, Had an amazing time finding a bunch of cool caches in this area alongside the reservoir and a bit further afield!

TFTC, As said by my dads log, the cache has fallen to pieces, will definitely need some CO attention

See my log please....

This one was a bit of a stretch, quite literally. Unfortunately the only way to open it would be using a screwdriver. Great concept though. TFTC

Found it. Couldn’t reach the log hahaahahah

#6169.
Not sure how this one should have worked, but managed to locate a log sheet and scribbled my name onto it. TFTC!

Another i am confused with today. Is the special tool a brick? The only log i could find said differently. Was not too impressed this is outside a toilet block. Beteen a disable toilet, and the Ladies. Suerly if a Lady was in there, when you are outside messing with the cache, they gunna come out all angry. I signed a rolled up piece of paper, which is a log. TFTC.

Well needed a garbage bin for this one. Retrieved a log. Needed a screwdriver Signed it and nearly fell off bin. TFTH

Dnf

We think we found it, sent message to find out.

Cool spot and container. Needs maintenance though, the log is stuck inside

Found it. Needs maintenance. Very confusing

#10894 14:05
A sunny day, although wintery cold. The parking lot and picnic places around the Prospect reservoir were deserted which made for easy geocaching.
I felt a bit weird snooping around the toilets. People might think I am a perv. Cache was found not in the best condition. Some maintenance suggested.

TFTC

Couldn't open the lid to access the log, but claimed it sa find anyway. Tftc

Found something but not sure if it was it.... took a photo and will need to check with CO

I'm pretty sure the container of this great camo has gone missing. We were looking in the unisex toilet for so long but then found it wasn't hidden within the booth. I'll send the CO a picture of the camo without the container.

This is a tentative “found”, as judging by previous logs it may be mistake

Unlucky. I couldn't find it.

Tallness required for this one!! We pulled a brick from the garden to reach it.
Chippymick64 had to unscrew the whole thing to reach the log which we did...yippee, no sad faces on this cache!! The original log and lid were both missing) (We signed the try again log) as that is all that was there TFTC

Ok the cache is still there but the log and lid are missing so I signed the try again decoy log instead and precariously put it back where the original one belongs

Found with geospouse, unfortunately lid and logbook seem to be gone! Have taken a photo for CO if needed. Great placement otherwise, love the idea!

contactpete I found your cache Great Prospect History #1 on 23/5/21, 10:35 am. This is my find 3205 and find # 6 today. Cache needs to be fixed up. Found the cache, but had to disassemble it to get to the logbook. Not the best place to put a cache, too close to the toilets, glad only a couple of muggles nearby. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Like the previous few finders, I found no log book but evidence of a cache that was. Needs replacement.

Found today but the cache lid needs popping back in place. I was too short to do on my own! Have left a message for the CO.

Was challenging.
In the end we found this. But log and container missing

Well half found . The lid was on the ground . No log to be signed

TFTC!

That camo is really good. Took us a long while to find it! TFTC

TFTC! I must say it took awhile. Lot's of muggles..

I had a look for this cache on my walk down to the cycle track. Understanding the cache description I was sure I had spotted the camo but being rather vertically challenged I couldn't reach it. I couldn't see any 'special tool' nearby either. Hmm what to do, the geomobile is over 1km away with possible TOTTs. There was a group with handicapped people so while they were using the things nearby I asked the tall aide to help me, quickly explaining the game which he seemed to know about.
He was absolutely adamant what I showed him was not the cache, tested it to no avail.

After I'd completed my walk and made it back to the geomobile I drove back here and brought a couple of my own TOTTs for shorties to GZ. Easy!
SL and replaced.
Good camo, very pleased with this find, good history and a nice park despite the kangaroo and ruined tracky dacks. Favourite point awarded.

TFTC # 4061

After finding the nearby Prospect Reservoir Multi i decided to head down a bit further and have a look what was down here.
Apart from two people way over the other side of the park area meditating and one cyclist lazily pedalling by the area was empty of muggles.
Using the clues in the description i had some idea of where to look and as soon as i saw the hiding spot i knew that was where the cache was.
A beautiful spot for a cache.
Thanks.

Took a little bit of work to get the cache in hand and a bit of perserverance

With cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for bringing me to the area and thanks for placing the cache contactpete

Nice hide!
TFTC!

Nice and easy with the Easter bunny hopping around. TFTC

Found. Tftc

Over from the eastern suburbs for some caching around Prospect Reservoir. Few muggles around but heaps of Sydney Water workers in bright fluro vests who seemed to be watching my every move. Some lovely historic buildings around the park which I enjoyed.
Another clever cache from this CO. Being tall I had no probs getting my hands on the prize. FP from me. TFTC contactpete.

Easy find. Found at 3:32PM on 6 April 2019. Loads of ants in the cache. A bit annoying.

Despite three shorties we used teamwork to get CIH. TFTC

OCW the Bebes and Brewmaker. Nice hide. Tftc

OCW PelDroedGwin & Brewmaker

Headed out west today to explore the reservoir area.

Needed a step up on PDG, nice container

Tftc

A quick find while stopped for lunch in the park. Great camo.

Wahoo! Nice and done! Duties completed and filed, then off to find #2! Thanks very much for the cache!

We enjoyed a nice walk and drive around Prospect Reservoir. Took a bit longer to find than the others. TFTC

We had a nice time caching around Prospect Reservoir today. Lucky we had Dad with us for this one. TFTC

Found quickly but had to wait for muggles to clear out before we made the grab. And when i say we, I mean Mr S, who is not height challenged. TFTC

This was a fun one, mineek did the spotting and I did the reaching. Pretty tricky to retrieve. FP from me!

Nice find! Came back with a fresh mindset and found it. Was exactly where we were looking all along. Just not how we expected. Found with greenybluebottle, TFTC!

Great camo. Hard to get out. Location not so good.

Location is not that good but good camo

First of three finds (1 GC and 2 GCA) while out exploring Prospect with the geo-family.

With very few muggles around geo-boy and I had the place to ourselves for the search. The cache was a quick find with spot on coords but the retrieval took longer. Needed to enlist the help of my muggle other half to perform the extraction. Signed the log and returned as found, all in good order here.

Thanks for the cache contactpete. Great job on the camo!! and thanks for the introduction to this place. Looking forward to returning to try for the rest of the series.

Find #349

Spotted this one pretty quickly- nice job on the camo. Handy to have a tall person to retrieve the log! TFTC

I didn’t have a pen

Great hide

Clever little hide

TFTC very creative

Pretty quick find, fortunate as it isn’t a place you want to loiter for long. TFTC

Clever hide, found with #leonardi80
TFTC!

That was a tricky one! Found with Frost2145. TFTC

Replaced log, all set to go and TFTC

Boxing Day afternoon. I had to head back to Canberra but I was in no hurry, so I pulled off on Reservoir Rd to grab some caches. I thought the nearby water park would make access difficult, but it was oddly quiet and the park was clearly open. There were some picnics going on in the reservoir itself, but not as busy as expected. No issues getting to any of the caches.

Many of these needed log replacements. I was doing 'ad-hoc' caching just using a pen and my phone, so I didn't keep details of which needed maintenance.

I've never been into this area, but I have always wondered what it was like. I can't say it was scenic. Only a few spots offered a glimpse of the water, which was inaccessible anyway. Still, it was an enjoyable afternoon.



TFTC contactpete.

TFTC, quick find, nice camo job, have a F.P for the effort. LOG ROLL IS FULL.

This was a fun and smart hide. Can imagine it would be hard to retrieve it during 'rush hour' at this location. The log is completely full and would need a replacement.

What a great cache. Novel, gave it a favourite point. TFTC

Quite easy... if you aren’t short like me! Had to get a less vertically challenged friend to help me out with this one. No log space so picture proof. TFTC

Another quick find with TaurusSix.

Great Cache. Found on our last day in NSW with Wraacie. A favourite from us. TFTC

I'm sure I looked a bit strange backwards and forwards here... finally found it but can't sign it as the log is full. I took a photo as proof - CO contact me if you need to see it. TFTC!

Cheeky spot

But if a tricky one but found and retrieved in the end with the help of a bin, a friend and part of a tree

found it

Found it

Full logbook we can't write on log book

Quick little find. Sneaky bugger.

Very intetesting spot.thankfully all muggles on other side of park. Made quick grab and signed log

#3354 Cycled here this morning for morning tea. Then hunted for the cache. Eventually found but need some go-go gadget boots. Considering the high muggle factor left until late arvo. Came back through here after a day of geobiking. Able to use some g-go gadget boots and nabbed the prize. It was quite stiff. I noticed the flashing security car buzzing around. But legals done and cache replaced. Stated to head up the road to be stopped by security. The guard??!, advised me that he would let me out of the top gate after he had locked the bottom gate. So started cycling up the road, and then another security guard?? checked me out. When I reached the gate no.2 security guard was waiting for me to realease me from enemy territory. Many thanks to the CO **contactpete** for establishing and maintaining another Blacktown local and locked down cache.

Came down today to try and finish the caches here. The security guy was hanging around so I didn't try to retrieve the cache, came back about 15 minutes later and he was gone so I was able to retrieve the cache and sign the log. TFTC

i drive to Greystones to see friends but they are very busy for day... i plan go out for geocaching today .. yeah why not... I drive and walked to around the park ... BEAUTIFUL PARK!!!! Hide well.... Thanks

This was our first find here today after a pit stop. I had a quick look on Monday but was not able to retrieve as there were people sitting near by. I was a little short one end and on time as it was near closing time with the security car buzzing around. He even had a go at me for driving the wrong way in the carpark. Don't know what or who we were going to hit or upset.
Well no one in area today so found signed and replaced with assistance of a family member I was babysitting today.
TFTC

Danke für das Legen und Pflegen! Gruß aus Deutschland.

TFTC. #251 - our last find for the day and possibly for 2016! This one was a little awkward with a few muggles around.... waited for vacancy and located something that looked out of place. Used nearby bin to gain some height. Couldn't remove the container (probably not meant to!) but with a bit of persistence was able to get log out. Nice hide, thanks contactpete.

Tftc. Found immediately by Mrs jaybeem who was vertically challenged. I stood on a bin to give me more leverage.

Cache nr 7 of October and today. This one was a bit trickier to get the log out. Managed !. TFTC

Clever hide so it took us a while but we got there. A fav from me. Thanx.

Found it. We looked everywhere this one was a tricky one but very well thought out. TFTC

I needed to use the toilet, so this cache was well place to be next on the list for today.

Using this one to meet one of the geosportz 2016 challenges.

Thanks

2nd cache of the day, during a nice walk in the sun along the old pipe pathways (now the bike track towards Merrylands). Reached GZ and waited 10mins in the sun for a muggle to leave, then got to work. Ahhh, nice construction. After two tries and a red herring, had CIH. Finally I found time to head to Prospect and find some of your caches, Pete. Love this one and appreciate the construction, so a definite fav point from me. Log and cache are in great condition. Cheers and TFTC!

No. 640

This was a fun one. Thankfully there wasn't anyone around today as I looked for this one. I soon saw something that looked worthy of further inspection, but how to do that? I'm not very tall. I layed down the nearby bin to stand on, aaaaand try again! Try again I did, and cache in hand. Log rather. TFTC, great construction and worthy of a favourite!
