DNF for this one, trying to do some caches around the Wollongong Area, We came down from Newcastle for a short get away. We looked at all the likely spots you would/could hide a cache around near GZ, also looked at previous logs for any hints. . McSotto Adventures.
Attempted to find this at 11:39AM on this Tuesday the 30th of May in the year 2023

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no response (or regular update) from the owner within the time requested and as per the original note this cache has been archived.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).

Hi McSotto Adventures,

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.

Spend about 20 minutes trying to find this cash. We had no luck.

Not sure if it was my hunting skills, the amount of muggle dodging or it just isn't there anymore (most likely a me problem to be fair haha). Beautiful spot for a hunt either way

We searched everywhere including the coordinates. I'm pretty sure it wad taken again.

Spent a bit of time here without luck as no one around hmmm pity

Found with Greenacres participants

Back logging from ages ago had fun finding the cache in a cute little area of the gardens

A quick find here this morning while exploring the gardens, thanks.

Took me a minute but found eventually. Great to find cool new spots

31.7.22 cute little garden

No fairy anymore. Good hide

Nice little container. Greetings from the UK. TFTC

My first time looking and I can’t find it. Better luck next time hopefully

Yay I found it

Fantastic find

Cute cache in a cute little garden. Took a bit of feeling while hoping that there is nothing nasty under there that bites. Eventually got it. Tftc

Good walk along the way to the cache. Not sure if we found out though?

The clues and coordinates are exactly where it can be found however it takes a bit of searching.

Will try again soon !

Too good for me today. Could not spot and could not feel.

No luck today in the rain

took a little bit of time but we finally found it.

Lovely area but couldn't find it!!! Will happily return another day!

We found this cache after completing the Adventure Caches. We took a beautiful walk in the Botanical Garden.

Thanks for the Cache

We’ve looked for this before but took more notice of the hint today and spotted the sneaky hide

Too good for us today. Try again another day ???

Did this one the hard and dirty way -- but got it after all! Thank you for the hide!

Quick find in this cute little garden.

Second time back here , more determined this time and had it in hand after about 10 minutes . Great art .tftc !

#8362 (3 of 12 today - including 5 Adventure Labs)

Another calendar finds day today... 15 just isn't enough, right? Right!
Decided to head south to Wollongong and finally pick up an old puzzle that I solved so long ago I can't remember how I did it! And my scant cache notes don't overly help.

Got seven physical finds plus all the locations of an Adventure Lab. And thankfully the rain (mostly) stayed away.
Aaaaand only one DNF!
An enjoyable day while the Geowife is busy and I'm free to go wither I desire!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
No one much in the gardens on this soggy day. Homing in on GZ for this cache there was literally no one to be seen.
Made an assumption re placement, but didn't spot it in the first the places checked. But spotted something in the third. CIH!

Took a short distance to complete signing duties, then back for the replace. All good here.
And still no one in sight.

Couldn't find any fairies. Will be back to look in a weekday when not many muggles around

Came to WBC for the AL series and got this Trad as a bonus. OCW Brewmaker. TFTC McSotto Adventures

After completing the AL we made our way to the bridge to collect our first trad for the day. I felt it before I saw it. The fairies are all happy in their home. TFTC

No luck here today.

A pleasant walk through the Gardens. Good coords and helpful hint had us searching a small area. We made hard work of this, with Dan nearly falling into the water. Anyway, the cache was sighted and when retrieved, we noticed an easier way. We should have been more observant. TFTC McSotto Adventures

Couldn’t find it.

Found while also out doing the adventure lab. Picnic breakfast first and then a very enjoyable walk around the gardens. TFTC

Very cool cache. Geodad found this one. That was our last wonder of the world to find. WOOHOO. Tftc

Found with some fellow caches.

Found!

There have been some changes in the garden so the fairy circle has moved a little. Happy Caching

The fairys have moved the circle a little due to some recent changes in the garden. Happy Caching

Sadly someone has kidnapped the Fairy.

Unfortunately didn't find this one today, although I feel I was in the right spot. Will come back another time when it's not raining so I can move things around easier.

TFTC! Kids loved it

This one was beyond cute, perfect hide for kids

Cute little fairy

Found pic as proof no pen tftc

Lovely spot! Thank you !

Loved the container decoration. Found with my 2 friends

Find 249 for the tribe.

A lovely autumn sunday afternoon so what better place to be than the Wollongong Botanical Gardens. Still plenty of flowers out, a newlywed couple in the rose garden nearby being told what to do by photographers and always fun for the kids to visit the playground.

Geokids had fun hunting for this one. Cache and log in excellent condition. SL and returned as found.

The geokids loved this one and requested a favourite point be sent your way.

Thanks for the cache and for the excuse to visit the gardens!

Beautiful spot, clever hide, loved it

So cute! What a great spot!

Took a little while but found it in the dark fairy circle.

Found it the last person talking about denim clothes was confusing lovely hide thanks ️

Was a tad concerned about the denimed legs lying around this place, but quick find here today. TFTC! One of my favs.

The fairies have reloacted the cache due to muggles damaging the original fairy circle.

Third go here. Fairy needs saving urgently. Mushrooms are heading for the BBQ. TFTC.

The fairies need to do some repairs on their house.

Really good hide.warning - really good cache. Best hide ever. Lovely gardens!

TFTC Here for Sunday Sound Lots of Muggles

Cutest cache I’ve ever seen! Tftc ️

A nice hide in a cool little park! I loved the decoration of the container! Thank you for the cache!

Out with mrwhiskers76 today. We walked over to gz, and started our search. We filled the coords but had no luck. So we split up, and soon had the cache in hand. Thank you for a fantastic cache!

I used my phone in two ways to find this cache.
Thanks for bringing us to this enchanting spot!

No luck!

No luck!

Pain.

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.

Took longer then needed with Juan.

DOing Juan with Wheatz. Cool hide, had us stumped for a while

Found by Becca and Rach, no pen to log though. TFTC!

No luck after a 20min search

I looked in the toadstools couldn’t find it

I braved the many swooping bird signs and heads towards GZ. Some days I make things harder than they need be but found the cool cache in the end. TFTC!

Passing this morning and with an aim to grab this hide.
Exceptional gardens and facilities here. While searching the gardener was repositioning the sprinkler. We exchanged pleasantries. I was wearing Hivis so no suspicious activity.
Soon made the find. Great construction. TFTC.

Looking at a potential challenge series (when restrictions allow travel again), realised I need to tick off a traditional on a few days of my calendar. Had left this one close to home to grab after an appointment today and glad of the find as my backup (Natural Beauty by same CO) was confirmed by a PAF as definitely missing while I was onsite. Even though it was raining and I had to wait out a muggle and her child climbing all over GZ, as soon as they left, I swooped in (like the multiple warning signs nearby for magpie season) and made the quick grab.

It was the last quarter for our day's caching. Sue had dropped out due to injury. Dan was just not able to cope with the pressure. TFTH

TFTC

Good hide for the geokids to find

A nice easy kid-friendly one to start the day! Thanks for the cache!

Tftc! Very cute. A quick find for Mrs Jaybeem.

Tftc. Cute area for little ones. Quick find today.

Quick little find in a cute little spot! Forgot a pen but took photo for proof! TFTC

No beautiful day in the gardens! Took quite a while to find and only on the third attempt I was successful, by feel only. Very cute container

Stumped us for a while but we got it. But forgot our pen
