Unfortunately there was no response (or regular update) from the owner within the time requested and as per the original note this cache has been archived. If you wish to replace it please submit a new cache via [this link](https://www.geocaching.com/play/hide).Ngaambul - Matt

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 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Found the cache, but the logbook is completely wet and has turned into mush, making it impossible to sign. The container might need to be checked and possibly replaced to keep the log dry

The logbook for this cache is in poor conditioncompletely wet and unsignable. I dont know what other people are signing because its just mush now. The cache owner has not logged into Geocaching.com in over a year, so I'm concerned that maintenance won't be performed. Requesting reviewer attention to address this issue. Thank you

Quick find near my house, but I couldn't sign the log because it was wet and turned to mush. Please consider this as my find.

easy peasy

Tftc. Parked and grabbed. Lucky there was no traffic on the street.

Today:Did a beautiful long hike in this area from Thirroul to Stanwell Park which took me pretty much all daylight hours to complete. Much of the track is closed for maintenance, but since it's a Saturday I was not bothering anyone and the track is good enough to walk. Enjoyed the gorgeous views along the way and a lot of very high quality geocaching. This area has so many gems to offer!This cache:Quick find at gz, tftc!

This one was a nice quick find as well thankfully. There were a few muggles around, and one of them even tried to help me as she thought I was lost trying to find the path for the coastal walk."It gets complicated around here so I thought you might've been lost."Luckily the cache was found in an area that didn't require touching any prickly plant, despite being very near to some. The hint is a bit misleading, but this shouldn't be too hard regardless. TFTC!

Tftc

Found!

Hint makes things abit confusing tbh, just trust your instincts with this one TFTC

We were looking in what we thought was the obvious place. We were wrong . After looking more carefully we managed to find it. Tftc.

*In the area with woolwood9 heading to the MEGA Event.* We cached from Sydney to Canberra, then after the MEGA, up through Yass, Cowra and Bathurst to return to Sydney.We had a great 3 weeks and enjoyed finding many good caches. SL *tm/ww NZ* LOG WET*Thank you for putting this cache out for us to visit!*

Over in the area heading for Canberra to attend the Easter Mega with tmann421Tons of caches done while here and this was one of them.Enjoyed the touring around and all the containers foundLog signed tm/ww NZThanks for the placement and the effort put into maintaining these hides for us to find.

Couldnt find

Team Groodle found it. Next.

Logbook is damp and needs replacing.Dried it out as well as we could.Prickly plant protects the place.Container is painted green so it is hard to see.

DNF. Not where the hint says

Hi I found it

Like others before me, I ventured too far in before realising it was a lot closer to the road than I thought as the hide doesn't match with the clue. TFTC

Find # 7932
Nice quick find.
Stood on the mud and then saw it.

Nice easy find

Easily found

Took a run along the scenic coast to clear some unfound icons cluttering the map and complete the second souvenir of Signal’s Swamp Labyrinth. Good co-ords and clues made for easy finds on 14 out of 20 in the series (1 disabled and 5 with too many previous dnfs to spend too much time also searching). Some issues with parking but had pre-planned safest spots to stop before setting out and completed in the correct order to be on the right side of the road.

Found it closer to the road than expected. Good find. TFTC

I found this geocache while bending down to climb up the muddy hill.

Slipped over. Mud everywhere. Geodog insisted on getting out of the car and getting my as well. TFTC. I replaced the soaked log sheet for you.

??

Tough one. Walked into the bush and found it on the way out near the road

Prickly

Took a bit of time due to the prickly plants but got there in the end.
The log is soaked but managed to get some ink on paper for what it was worth.
Didn't have time to dry it out. Sorry.

Ironbark.

Log and GZ were super water ridden, but easy find, TFTC!

The cache is quite wet so a bit of a challenge to sign but the Fisher Space pen worked a treat.

Thanks again moom3 and mrwhiskers76

TFTC!!!

Tftc

Thank you!

Very sneaky but fun! Thanks!

All in good order, happy caching!

Too many muggles here early in the morning so I saved this one for the trip back where I made an easy find! Cheers!

Thank you!

Not much luck today

Not quite at GZ but found it quickly.

Quick easy find. TFTC

Travel bug added

Girlfriend found it before I could even get out of the car the log is wet

Log too wet to sign

Found with the help of previous logs. We're staying nearby so this was the first on our morning walk. Tftc

Nice little glade thanks

I walked a little far in then I needed to but on the way back out spotted the type of hide like the others. Log was damp but singable. I didn’t complete the trail as I wanted to find “the blue hole” cache that I original came down for. (And I did). Will be back on another sunny day to complete the rest. Thanks for a nice walk

Went a little too far in but spotted on the way back out. Log a little damp bit still signable. Tftc!

Out caching with Meritonnn enjoying a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Blue skies and gorgeous ocean views along this series. TFTC

Thanks for that

Do NOT have nails done and go caching!!
Buying gloves tomorrow!!

Went out and checked on all caches that have been placed so far in this series. All are still where they should be, and have replaced a few logs.

Tftc! The hints in this series are very helpful!

Back down here to find some more of this series, found and stamped log and replaced. Thanks to moon3

TFTC,

Out with Nana nel to get caches that would bring our count for today up to 5 as part of a personal challenge set for us by Grub Fred.
Went past it and saw it on our way back.

Spent the day collecting caches in the Illawarra. Completed the Coal Coast Series along with a handful of caches in my 50km radius. Found most caches in good condition, with decent coordinates and helpful hints. Thanks to all Cache Owners for their contribution to this recreational activity.

Log was saturated so dried and we put in a fresh log

With Wheatz for another Juan today

Log is wet, needs replacing. Tftc

Nice quick easy find TFTC!! Out with MyPython for the day and this was the 4th find of the day, log too wet to be signed

Quick find but the log was soaked! TFTC

Raincoat on, time to brave to the wild weather and find some local caches on a morning off in Wollongong's northern suburbs.

Log book was sodden, barely able to be written upon.

Cheers

Just a reminder for people to read the description of each cache, as more hints are mentioned. Also to look at the whole cache page itself. Will be doing a maintenance check on all caches with DNF’s tomorrow (27/10/20).

Thanks again everyone, appreciate all of the support and guidance. Will be doing the last lot of caches in the series this weekend (07/11/20), if all goes to plan!

TFTC!

Tried to finish off the rest of the series around here this afternoon but fell a couple short. Most were quick finds. TFTC!

The hint made no sense to me even after finding the cache, thanks.

I followed a short track to what my GPS told me was ground zero, and the area was full of garden clippings. After much searching I thought the cache was gone. As I returned to the street something made me stop and look and there it was. Once again, I made this harder than it needed to be. TFTC

Great find

Thanks

This was easier

A great afternoon to get out and do some caching. It'd been quite some time since I'd cached in the northern suburbs so there was plenty to choose from. What I should have realised is, being a weekend it'd be very busy with plenty of muggles to spoil my hunt.

Nonetheless I bagged a handful of caches for my afternoon in the northern suburbs.
Managed to get the car a bit bogged here.... oops
