Our Duck Pond Parklea, New South Wales, Australia
By Declan on 20-Jan-07. Waypoint GC10F51

One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 28 days), just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

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 page and post a note every month or so to keep everyone up to date.

Found it but could not sign log as everything inside was wet

Everything inside cache is wet

Not sure if it is absent for maintenance or we just didn't look hard enough. Will have to try again during the day time.

found this as part of a set of two in Beaumont Hills on the same day. TFTC.
Definitely needs a new container and some TLC.

Very soggy indeed, definitely in need of maintenance! TFTC.

Quick find with geokids in tow. Emptied out water but it needs maintenance. Took TB

An easy find...thanks to the cacher who had it opened as i rode up!

Pretty easy find - container, log and contents are soaked!

Pretty easy find - container, log and contents are soaked!

Nice easy find. Possibly needs a chance to dry out though! The rain has taken its toll…
With Gowza & Karbonator

Cache is soaked & mouldy. Needs drying out!

A very soggy cache. May need a refresh!

Log really wet and not able to write. Left a trackable. On route to a famous Lions victory!!

0115 TFTC

If this wasn't so wet & mouldy, would have been very interesting to look through! Lots of goodies in the box!

After recently doing the cache, it was clear the cache needs some maintenance. It is obvious that the owner has lost interest in geocaching. If the cache is archived I will re-make the cache.

A bit damp & mouldy! Nice simple hide. Left homemade geocaching badge - enjoy! SL / TFTC

Quick and easy find. Great hiding spot. Lots of swaps however most are wet or mouldy. Log damp but ok. Bag is broken. TFTC!!

This one could do with some maintenance. Have needed to do this one for some time and it was a quick find. Was happy to have finally found but found it a bit of a disappointment. There was no TB in there, it had water leaked into it and things were wrecked or damaged. The logbook was damp and the bag for it was broken. I think if the CO disabled for a bit, replaced somethings of through things out and got a water proof container it would be a great cache. I am happy to do some maintenance for the CO. Other than that TFTC agmonty

TFTC but needs maintenance log is wet zip lock bag busted container had water in it, I emptied water good sized cache just needs a little TLC
Found with ellejay05

Found with Happypaintball TFTC !!

Driving by for work today, so a quick stop to search for this cache. Found. Signed. Then back to work! Took the Sky Shark TB.
Thanks for the cache agmonty!

Wal

Took Geodaughter and I a little while to locate this one....We finally made the find once we were looking from the right angle.
TFTC

Found it after starting nearer the pond then having to go around. Good hide but cache is a bit smelly inside. No TB inside but dropped off Sky Shark (wanting to get to London). TFTC

Easy find once i reached the right altitude

Dropping off a TB.

Orienteering run in the area, then grabbed the cache. Not the duck pond I was thinking of! Got snoopy, dropped off hat.

A nice easy find. Left a TB. TFTC.

Parked on side street after pond and walked to within 60m, at where discovering a problem with a lAke to cross. instead of walking around I built and canoed over to the other side. Bush bashed over close to GZ to where I now had to scale the rock wall at where the find was made and with all of that SL TNLN.

Fun first cache for some kids we know. It was fun to introduce them to geocaching with this one. TFTC.
Trackables missing.

Out with friends kids, showing them how to find caches. It was a nice easy cache. No TB there. TFTC

Our first geocache. Well done team

Found whilst in the area to visit Bifrost and The Pergola and The Echelon Project.. A quick smiley whilst in the area for 3 DNF's.. I Enjoyed the quick park and grab as well as the park.. Thanks for the cache..

Woot found it, good stuff

Woot found it, good stuff

No trackable in here =(

Found it on International Geocaching Day!

TFTC. Took 2 TBs to introduce 2 newbies to how TBs work.

First one today while on a caching run with J+J.au. When I first spotted GZ I suspected a bit of a search may be necessary but the cache was spotted quickly. Duties done and off we went. SLTN..TFTC

No ducks around this morning. Dropped toff TBs. TFTC

Introduced geo bro to caching. His first find. Left playing card

A quick find after work to keep streak going. TFTC

Good way to stop WW3 on the way home from school. TFTC.

Nice cache. Thank you. Looking forward to this weekend with the kids hope the rain hold off

Nice Cache, TFTC

Definitely wasn't in this spot when I'd been here previously. TFTC.

Thanks for the cache. Was a nice hide.

Team Stevemel's first find. Took rubber duck left pen.

Parked nearby and strolled over to GZ. The geokids loved the ducks. Found the nice, big cache, SLTNLN. Thanks Declan.

Thought we would grab an easy one after our failure at the infamous Bifrost but the weather gods were not in our favour!
It was raining lightly as we got out of car but a bit of rain wouldn't stop us, as we got closer to GZ the rain became relentless and the poor Geokids and I were saturated. The thunder and lightning started and Geokids decided it was time to retreat to the car, glad we did as the rain got even heavier!
TFTC
Will return on a dry day

Not being able to make one of the planned events for the day I decided to give this one a go.

Nice quick find among the rocks.

Thanks Declan for the cache.

Checked the likely spots methodically one-by-one and soon found a nice, big box. TFTC

Found it at last, bit of scrambling among the rocks.

Our very 1st find ,our introduction to geacaching

visited with our friend gum quite a treasure chest

Found with Saf23, T0mBEE and our muggle friend Dery who we were introducing to the world of geocaching. Nice part of the world, and an easy find. TFTC!

Pretty quick find. TFTC

Instafind

No traceable!!! Tftc

Put a little extra camo on the cache because when we found it, it wasn't very well concealed. Even so, pretty easy find, tftc

Quick drive-by find. TFTC.

nice easy find Thanks agmonty

I was out here for some work and foudn this one pretty quick. This area has changed since I first came out this way. TFTH SL

Nice quick find didn't use coords as they were about 7 meters from where I thought it would be and my 4 and a 1/2 year old found it before me. TFTC

agh sometimes when you look you look to hard, was getting frustrated as I couldn't get a good lock on the location, 6mts either way it was pointing, I'm sure I looked where I found it but obviously not.TFTC I made it harder than It was.TNLNSL

TFTC SL. Great hide.

Logging TB visit

TFTC. SL. Quick find

Nice easy find. Took nothing left duck as it suited the cache name lol. TFTC

I'm surprised this cache is still intact. I found it out in the open with the lid loose. I assume it should be hidden, took the 2 TBs and found a spot near GZ according to my GPS. SL #124

Great treasure. Good hiding place. well done. took torch and 20c left 3 marbles and wrote in the book.

Nice to find a big cache after having found nanos all day!
TFTC agmonty

Chook and I were joined once again by Christine Vista and headed out to the Rouse Hill area for some serious caching. We drove to the Outlook Nature Reserve just off Samantha Riley Drive and parked in Sanctuary Drive. We headed off along a pleasant walking track towards GZ. When we got there we had a bit of an ordeal trying to match the coordinates, so we resorted to reading the clue and the previous logs to sort this one out. In the end, I worked out where it should be and made the discovery.

pleased not to need the gumboots. tftc.

TFTC the kids loved this one

TFTC, found with benny.t

TFTC

Our kids love playing this game. Kept asking to do another one but the battery on my iphone died.

Our friend found this while we took her caching.
Hopefully she enjoyed herself.
Took geocoin.
TFTC

Nice area TFTC

We were visiting friends nearby and after a lovely lunch we headed out to show them caching (they had already heard of it but never done it) and this was our first stop. After not uploading this one to my GPSr, and the so called [?]'smart' phone not playing the game, we arrived at GZ from memory but luckily came up with the find within minutes. I think we have some new cachers hooked

The area has suffered a little from the recent rains but the cache is still nice and dry. L GC & TB, T GC & TB to travel back to Canberra - TFTC

Quick find. Site shows 3 trackables. But had 5 inside. We tookgarmin and Arthur. Log book is a bit damp. Meow for now.

A nice walk through the park to GZ, Geoson and his Geomate soon had CIH.

TN, Left trackables. TFTC agmonty

Easily spotted from the footpath by geodad, retrieved by Geoteen who scrambled around on the rocks. Great location. TFTC
