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.

Didn’t find very sad.

We had the pairs of eyes and hands searching but no luck here. The only logical hiding spot here was always going to be print to muggles and gardening so no wonder this seems to have gone walkabout.

TFTH, twinkletoestwo, roflcollie, livh-02!

Could the cache owner please check & confirm the container is still here or replace the container, or archive the cache? Thanks heaps!

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

No luck today. Looked in a few spots but couldn’t feel anything.

Put my hand in a dark. Nothing

C5star and dad looked for a while without success

Seconds try, spent over 1.5 hours looking in total. Never found, possibly muggled

Found by Master 6.
What a cracker!

OCW Oldmorty and reminiscing about the area of Hornsby and how it has changed when we stopped here. He found the container and signed log and then we patiently outwaited a few passerbys. TFTC!

OCW morty8888. Finishing with the fire trails for the day it was back to suburbia for this cache, which we found in between passing muggles and a tradie working on a nearby balcony. TFTC

I found it

Approached GZ to find several hi viz wearing gardeners. I’ll need to return again.

Fun to find. Many thanks! High muggle area and lots of pedestrians. I spent a lot of time trying to look inconspicuous!

Park and grab, not many spots to hie this one, so looked in the only spot to have CIH very quickly, thanks for the quickie

Took us a while, great hiding spot!

I was able to find this cache during my sightseeing tour today
Thank you for the cache
Team sissifalke

No pen. But heres the pic

After a few unsuccessful previous attempts I finally made it here without a time limit or some bored preschoolers In tow, stuck my hands everywhere I could see that they didn’t belong, and can hardly believe that I actually have CIH!
Tftc - a real tricky one!

Small hand needed indeed! Was able to make the grab in the middle of the day - lucky there were no muggles about! SL TFTC!!

In A tiny place some of its difficulty is being game enough to put your hand there

TFTQF. Be willing for your to go where you would not normally dare

My son and I returned from the south coast today and were really happy to see that this cache had been replaced. We'd tried on two prior occasions but hadn't logged the DNFs. Tonight we made the find without being seen and everything was in top order. My son replaced it so that it couldn't be seen. TFTC.

Dad and I had tried to find this twice before, but couldn't. When we saw it had been replaced we rushed out to make the find. I made sure it was replaced well. TFTC.

Cache has been replaced as original one has obviously been muggled by the swagman’s ghost... so it should be all good now to continue finding

TFTC! I feel honored to be the first log on a replacement cache!

Took me quite a while to dodge the muggles and manipulate this one out, as with others I wasn't so keen to stick my hands into the hiding spot but a close by stick and some good luck gave me CIH!

Think it’s gone as looked everywhere

No find here may have gone missing

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

( I looked everywhere I could think of but found nowhere that could “put my hand in” as talked about in previous finds - this one has stumped me

Lol that’s a tricky spot to find - I totally looked there but didn’t stick my hand in to realise what I’d missed. Oops. Rookie mistake. Got there in the end. TNLN TFTC

Came to Hornsby today for a doctor's appointment up in the Hornsby Mall, and noticed that I would be walking right past this newish one if I managed to find a parking spot on Sherbrook Road, which is where I usually park for these appointments.

Drove down Sherbrook Road and, as luck would have it, managed to score an untimed spot very close to where Florence Street meets Sherbrook. Waltzed up Florence Street to GZ and made a super quick find in the very first place I checked. Signed the log sheet and then replaced as found.

Hopefully my quick spotting of the cache is a good omen for my upcoming visit to the eye doctor a little further up the road. TFTC twinkletoestwo, roflcollie, livh-02.

Find #2832

Previously logged a "Found". Writing note to log TB Visit

Parking is very much at a premium around here, but eventually, I jagged a spot about 100m away. I spotted the obvious hiding spot as soon as I arrived at GZ but nothing was there. However, when I read about others putting their hand in spots they probably shouldn't, I spotted where they were likely talking about and did exactly what they had done ... put my hand in where I probably shouldn't but like them, I pulled it back out with the cache in hand.

Thanks for the hide twinkletoestwo and crew.

PS
I have attached a photo I took of the log sheet, which shows that the last 3 "finders" didn't actually sign the physical log, as per the rules of geocaching.

I was hesitant to scrounge around at first but i eventually found it.

Eww spiderwebs

We were walking up to the shops after visiting the cricket oval and detoured past this cache. There were not a lot of possibilities except one where I found I could just reach without seeing what else was sharing that space, luckily the cache was on its own. Thanks twinkletoestwo et al for the hide.

High muggle activity on the weekends! As an Australian, I hate sticking my hands into holes but do far so good haha

Found it with Zoe

#5454 (1 of 2 today)

Nice quick find before heading off to a nearby event.
Parked about 150 metres away and walked to GZ. Checked the obvious. Nope. Then spotted something else. Tried it. No, no... YES!

Made the grab and completed signing duties.
Cache in top condition.

As others have noted small hands are an advantage here - got scraped while replacing.
Then back to the car and off to the event.

had a good look but no find

Yay found! I really needed smaller hands for this one. Suggest bringing a child. Thanks for the cache!

Thanks for the easy find, now to find that gelato!

A quick and easy Park and grab while in the area for work. Cache# 1012 TFTC

I have the day off so went and had my hair cut at Westfield.

I thought I would go an find this one to mark it off my list.

I used to live in this street for a short time, so i knew the area very well.

Found it after a few min of searching.

#3410
There's really only one place it can be.... and that's where I found it. Not the most inspiring of locations but a cache find.... is a cache find!

There was nowhere else it could be. So, I felt around in the private property side of the sidewalk and found the cache.

TFTC.

Had to rolll the sleeves up for this one. Tftn

Found!

Nice day for a walk in the sunshine

With a tragedy of clearing my 20km radius from home and this cache sitting right on the boundary it had to be cleared from my map.

I took the train Hornsby then a short walk to GZ.

Glad of my small hands I hade a quick find

Tftc

Lovely trees to shade this one thanks for the cache

Nice and easy. Great clue! My kids loved this one. Thankyou.

TFTC!

A lot of muggles and suspicious looks, but after delving a bit deeper cache was in hand. TFTC

As I approached GZ, I spotted a likely hide but couldn't see a cache there. I looked elsewhere then checked the hint, which more or less confirmed I was right the first time. And I was, though I struggled to remove the cache, regretting I hadn't waited until YGAT, with her slim wrists, was available.

Good one, thanks twinkletoestwo, roflcollie and livh-02.

What to do while my geohounds were having their haircut?
I decided to go down to the station near their groomer and catch the train to Hornsby and check out this new cache.
It was an easy walk from the station to GZ and there were no the muggles walking up the street while I was there.

My first idea on where the cache was hidden proved unsuccessful so I stood back and thought about everything, D1.5, so I decided where that meant I should search and immediately CIH. SL and replaced as found.

I walked back to the station and bought a gelato as the cache instructions told me to do. Yes, overpriced, size good and definitely delicious! I might even buy one again.

I decided to find this on my weekly long run. I was in the groove by the time I got to GZ, but a short break was still welcome. There were some muggles nearby, but they walked by allowing me to search in peace, and it didn't take too long to get CIH. TNLNSL, then replaced the container (a bit too well judging by 4Rods' log - sorry!). TFTC

Was not as easy as we expected it to be. We had the right idea. Looked in the right spot but didn't find it. Had to confirm our suspicions with a PAF. We just didn't know who was looking as we completed our caching obligations. Thanks for the cache.

I walked straight up to it! TftC

Quick find. Sneaky hide TFTCSL

It's all very well for a new cache to pop up 800 meters from home, but in this area if that happens when I am at work there is no chance of getting First to find as there seem to be too many people with too much free time. So I left it until today when I was walking up to Westfield for the weekly shop. Looked in one likely spot but no dice, but on viewing from a different angle there it was in another spot and quite visible if you knew to look for it. Thanks twinkletoestwo, roflcollie & livh-02.

Nice little find but many, many muggles

As I approached GZ there was another person loitering nearby. He kindly asked was I looking for this as he held out a suspicious looking container.
Only a teacher would know what this all meant.

FTF with frazelle and crash! Saw the notification come out and thought oh that's nice and close to work. Oh no, I have a meeting. Luckily said meeting was quick so I quickly raced out and met the guys at the cache. Yayyyyyyyyy no-one has signed yet. Tftc

{FTF} got a msg from our partner in crime so put the message out to our friend crash and was soon off. Once at goal zone meet with Ash_kate and soon had CIH yahoo TFTC

#2442 joint **FTF** with Frazelle and ash_kate
Was at home solving puzzles when I saw this one published. Wasn't going to go for it but then some encouragement from Frazelle and we were off. Met ash_kate at GZ where we all added our name to the blank log.

Found with morry9.

Morry9 and I were up Hornsby way for a newly published cache, 'Waltzing Matilda' (GC7TCXA), but narrowly missed out on the First To Find. Instead, we opted for a detour to 'The Message' Multi Cache (GC638T6) in Wahroonga first, to collect the information at the published co-ordinates. We were unsure about some of the information and after a couple of Phone A Friends were none the wiser, so we will have to return another time.

Continuing on our way, we visited the fantastic 'Meggsie's Mural' Multi Cache (GC6ZZG5) tucked away in a rather nondescript lane way in Hornsby. A lot of counting was required and some re-counting to make sure we did not miss anything. Turns out we did not count all of the chimney pots but made some adjustments and got the green light on the checker without much fuss. A short stroll to Ground Zero and a bit of a look around, we soon had the nicely sized Cache In Hand. We signed / stamped the log and discovered the pair of trackables residing inside the cache. Thanks For The Multi Cache Calypso62. As a big fan of Ginger Meggs, a well deserved favourite point is coming your way for the nostalgia!

Before heading back, we decided we may as well go for the initial target for our trip, the newly published 'Waltzing Matilda' (GC7TCXA). It was a pleasant stroll through the mall and past the famous water fountain, to reach the other side of the mall. Once at Ground Zero, it was a quick find and we had the Cache In Hand to perform the signing / stamping duties. Thanks For The Cache twinkletoestwo, roflcollie and livh-02.
