Hi Mozy04,
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.

Could CO please do a cache check on this cache and the other 4 in this mini-series to make sure they are still there and can be found. If not please replace them as I would love to find them.
Lots of recent heavy rain might have knocked it, or it might be too well hidden for us
Found it right in front of us. Great camouflage on this one. Nice area for a walk. Log needs replacing on this one too. TFTC
This cache has bothered me ever since I wasn’t able to find it about two years ago. Haven’t been back until today, and I can’t believe it was staring back at me! Log was a mess and I couldn’t sign it.
Quick find with Ris768 for the daily cache thanks Mozy04, vanmoz for placing & maintaining this Cache

Quick find with Deep_99 to keep the streak going. SL #4731 on streak day #3063 TFTC
On yet another nightly geoventure with Mizcupcake and we have come over to Harrington Park seeing as we never finished the trail. We parked the geomobile in a street close to #1 and after a quick and easy find there, we headed iver to #2. Admittedly this one took a little bit longer than I had thought, but we got there in the end. Thinking it was here and there only to have it staring me in the face. Lol unfortunately *log is full* so we werw unable to sign, but we have a photoe as proof if CO requests it. TFTC!
Out with Littl3Vix on our late night run. We hit up Harrington Park tonight to grab the ones on the trail we did not have yet. I parked in a side street that was close by and after finding the first on the trail, we came back dawn and headed on our way over here. This one took us awhile, having to pause every time a car drove past which for some reason tonight, was quite frequently. This one was a bit of a hunt around, so many places it could be and we could only search by torch, but eventually Littl3Vix came up with the find here. Log book was full. Thanks for the cache!
Found easily enough but cache is semi detached from its placing , log wet and full . Quick find thanks
Only a few caches today while in the area, all is wet, but the caches were fine!

Was just about to give up! It pays to check every angle! Well done on a tricky little hide!
This was a clever hide! After venturing a bit further from GZ the camo was what stood out for me! Nice hide!
Streak Day #2497 - Out with Dave8153 for a quick find to keep our streaks alive. TFTC

Found with sesblocker.
Using Bent's Basin as a base, we've ventured out to collect a few smileys.
Yay, an easy peasy find.

With time at a premium I drove from HPT#1 to the nearest parking spot for the geomobile to this cache. From there it was a short walk to GZ. On no, one of these hides, they can be very trlcky and time consuming!
Fortunately the co-ordinates were spot on and I found the cache immediately. SL and replaced as found.
I didn't realise it at the time but I have brought home hundreds of Harrington Park weed seeds. Hope they don't grow in my garden!
Funny thing Harrington Park House was on the news this evening.
I will return to complete the rest of the trail next time we visit Mt Annan Botanic Gardens.

Took a bit of searching but finally spotted by Gundrills.
Lots of sticky beaks/farmers friends in this area. Kept me busy picking them off my clothes.

Another Friday arvo cache find with hooky68 on our way home. 1 of 2 we found. Nice place for a hide. Looking forward to doing the rest of the trail another time. TFTC. Edit* changed date on this as I logged the wrong cache last week. Should have logged #1. All done now.
Took a bit of a stroll when having my car serviced.Easy find as GZ co-ords where spot on TFTC
Today I teamed up again with marj01 for another day of caching, this time around the Narellan/Camden/Cobbity areas. We had a very enjoyable and adventurous day visiting the cache locations, finding a heap of hides but also a few DNF's along the way.
A quick find. TFTC.

#5907 (1 of 5 today)
For my goal of having ten finds per calendar day by the end of this year, the next day where I actually ***need*** a find is in mid April. But there are still quite a few days where I currently ***only*** have those ten finds. Today is one of them. Where possible I’m trying to push my finds on here days up a bit more, and for today decided to go for five finds.
I noticed that the *Harrington Park Trail* has been untouched by me since picking up *#1* some two and a half years ago. Far too long. And there are five left...
Got those five and I see there are still a few caches around here for me to pick up in the future.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Parked about half way between this one and *#3*, and walked back to start the search.
Began looking in the obvious spots but didn’t see it. Read a few logs... aah, I need to widen the search. Not too wide in the end as I soon made the find.
Completed signing duties and replaced, then onwards.

Took a while to find, and took even longer to pull all of the little plant barbs out of our pants afterwards!
Taking advantage of house/dogsitting in the area to tick off some local caches at a leisurely pace (especially in the heat), this one had me going around in circles for so long I was about to give up on the whole trail. Read a few more logs about expanding the radius and happened to now easily spot the actual hide from a different direction.
This was a seemingly straightforward cache, however it took 3 of us quite some time to locate, with rassilon256 once again coming through with his caching senses. TFTC!
A bit of a head-scratch for this one. We certainly scratched about a fair bit of the environs. The GPS wasn't too bad but when I did find the cache we'd been there a while and I'd read a few logs encouraging me to search a wider area.
Oh! I found the first one awhile ago. Lol. This one had us stumped but fortunately rassilon256 came up with the goods!
Calendar day 363 done and completed. Just leaves two missing days in March for 365 and then onto leap year 2020. It will arrive soon enough of course.
I am not sure why it so long to get here but a relatively easy find in the end. A cache with in a cache for sure. thanks Mozy04 and vanmox for keeping this alive for us to capture.
Merry Christmas to all our readers!
