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. 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.

Gone for sometime.

Its gone.

Quite a Lot of regeneration happening in the area, Wonder if it's been Muggled

A lot of the area has been cleared as per previous comments. Given that no one has found it in a while I think it's safe to say it's gone.

Area has been recently slashed and has also flooded.
Cache could not be found.
Ozlookers

Area has been flooded. No sign of cache. Lot of vegetation has been slashed.

So cold and so wet it may have washed away.

Nope. No find. Nada GPS pointed to a different area than the clues hinted. Searched both and still no find. After all this wet rain at Easter the ground is soggy and the grass mooshy and brown...

lots of short trees - lots of ants = no cache

2 allrocks:- Our last for the day, we are here to do a 'reckie for our Thursday walks. There isnt much grass grouing around this now. Harry

I waddled like a wombat, but still found it easily. Nicely hidden. Loved this quiet little spot on the water. I stayed a little while to enjoy the 'serenity'. TFTC

Tried to walk like an echidna with no luck, wasn't until I meandered like a blue tongue that I had success. TFTC.

Beautiful sea with Lots of boats.. hide well thank ...

Nice location! Hope the hide survives as it seems a little open, but so far so good. T:Nil, L:Nil. TFTC.

Reperio at 1920. Another beautiful almost secretive spot discovered around this area since moving here. Could see a lot of smoke off in the distance and wondered where it was coming from. cache was quickly found.

Gratias.

Nice drive by, lovely spot. Found the cache easily. Lots of smoke about, I wonder where the bushfire is?

Nice point, quick find among the casurinas. tftc

Whoops forgot to log

Very easy. TFTC

Found it with ease! Wasn't properly covered. Could hear muggles coming so covered up well.

Found the cache in a very obvious spot - but it was hidden still ...the hint was very misleading...
Lovely location, nice quiet path !!

It's been a few weeks since we have been caching, so we headed out today to try and find 20 more caches. We parked the car near the boat ramp where a couple of fellows were launching their boat. We headed off down the track and armed with the clue we made our way to near GZ. Nothing at all matched the clue so we were scratching our heads. We widened our search and soon Marco found the cache - nothing about its hiding spot matched the clue - but it was still nicely hidden. TNLNSL TFTC

Found at 12.30pm and enjoyed a short walk a little further past the cache. Such a lovely, quiet place - another new spot for us to discover. Thanks!

Nice location
Love the quite water near by

found with blossom* and enjoyed the walk along the lake

The contents of this were a soggy pulp so, since we had a spare container in the car, we swapped them over and left a few new dry swaps (saves you the trouble hoppy_bounce ). The log book was all nice and dry in it's zip-loc bag so we signed our names and went for a short stroll to enjoy the serenity. What a peaceful spot by the lake. It was just on sunset and the clouds were all pink - just lovely reflected in the glass-smooth surface today.

Found at 9:30am we enjoyed the short walk to the cache. Contents damp. TNLN thanks.

Found at 9.15 am GAFF1. Another beautiful clear morning and we are either getting used to the chill, or it is a little bit warmer than the last few days. No signs of echidnas or even any signs of boaties.

Thanks happy bounce

Replaced log and zip bag. Will be back to replace container with a more waterproof version.

Quick find, tftc. Requires maintenance urgently, the log is too wet to write in and everything in the cache has gone slimy and soggy.

Needs a clean out of the gooey, slimy wet stuff and a new log book.

This was a quick one as last of the day. Got chewed out by a grizzled oldtimer who complained about us parking in the boat turning area, but other than that mission completed. TNLNSL.

A little bit water logged but great location

Nice easy one. Great spot. Log damp. TFTC.

Log book was water logged... and the clue didn't seem relevant at all, the tree was not what I'd call shortened!

Found it none the less...

found easy, but clue a little confusing. Log book wet, no pen. [^]

Cache is wet and log is soaked. Cache clue description doesn't make sense...........no green present to part gently.

This was an easy find, because the last placement and covering was so obvious! The clue doesn't make sense...........has the cache been moved from its original position?
TNLNSL TFTC

Needs new logbook - current one is damp and mouldy

Found at 11:55.

A very quiet area - no echidnas even. The cache was totally exposed so I rehid it as best I could. It desperately needs a new logbook though - the current one is damp and mouldy. I have placed it up for maintenance.

Thanks hoppy_bounce

This was joint hunt with Calypso62 & Smurfyguy. Quiet an easy find if you know what to look for. We were followed by a "skippy" but he wasn't interested in the cache. However, a little care is need due to presence of the odd muggle. Having completed our "business", we were lucky not to have been sprung by a local fisherman on way to his favourate spot. TNLN SL TFTC

An easy find but the cache has been relocated at some stage and now the site does not match the clues at all. Anyway, we left the cache where we found it. Left a coin and took a coin. Thanks for a good hide in a very nice area we have not visited before.

Quickly found with Geotooter and Calyspo62. Nice little location.
Wanted to take the coin just dropped off earlier by Mr/mrs Fish, but Calypso62 wanted to take it to Western Australia in a few weeks time - Any excuse to get his hands on another coin!!

I had recently been down this track seraching for a spot to hide a cache not realising there was already one here. If I had been somewhat more observant I may have discovered this hide without a GPSr. Found with Smurfyguy, Geotooter and a friend, (he thinks we are all mad ).

Took the Tumbleweeds TB to continue its travels. I will be flying to WA in a few weeks so that's where it is headed. I see it hasn't been there.

SL. TN. Left a gold pirate coin.... AAAARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!

Note to Owner: Log book is quite damp.

Thanks for an enjoyable hunt.

A very beautiful location, the sun was getting low so the water was alive with colour. We grabbed the cache before heading for the next spot. We left the Bunya Geofeax coin. Thanks for this cache a spot I will return too. [cache 63].

We dropped off Bunya's Geofaex coin while there. Happy trails.

18 of 20 A very simple walk and find, well covered from muggles and weather. SL TNLN TFTC

Thanks for the hide.

Tamykian

Not very hard to find, did not even need to leave the footpath.
Took GeoCoin 'Worldcaching 2007', left TB Sinker.

A quick find with the Vikings and and the Hancock clan.
The wind ensured we didnt stay out of the car too long.
Thanks

It was windy & cold here today but it was a beautiful spot and so we stopped here to have lunch whilst sat in the car looking out over the lake. After finding the cache we then said our goodbyes to the Rats & the Vikings and then headed off to another cache in the area. Guess who was there? Both teams no less, and none of us could find it either!
Thanks,
The Hancock Clan

found on dusk with Big Matt and Shell.
The mozzies were out in force and Shell and I were on the menu
Thanks for the cache hoppy_bounce

Found this one on dark, luckily I had brought my two mosquito attractants in Shell and red tag! The cache was a nice quick find.

Thanks hoppy_bounce for the cache.

Pretty quick and easy find. Just out of muggle view. Left GC. SL TFTC TFTC

Missing a pen. BYO

I nice spot on the Lake.

An easy find. Surprised this one has lasted so long.

The log is soaking wet and needs to be replaced.

Put log in a ziplock bag to prevent further damage.

Thanks Hoppy. Good to see you back in the game.

Took golf ball left photo holder, took coin

As I parked the Geomobile there was a family launching there boat. Pretty keen as it was pretty ugly on the water this morning, perfect for caching though. Made my way along the track to GZ and found the Cache without any problem. Nice little spot.

Made a late start to the geocaching day but found this one without any trouble at all. Nice spot to visit if nothing else.

Found it with some little assistants(3 under 7s) After a few reception problems and fights with the lantana we finally got on track and found it just before we gave up. Left golf ball took little bunny for youngest helper.

what a lovely little area. the boat ramp adds some of its own style to the area. a very nice view at sunset. this was our last cache of the day

Luck was with us on this one and went with the next best place and there she layed.

No echidnas but a few muggles! TNLN

nice area. tftc

Clue didn't help but checked the obvious spot. T 20c, L keyring.

** Coordinates Changed From **
S 33° 08.463 E 151° 31.287
Distance From Old: 31.2 feet
While skiing in the area I checked the coordinates for this cache and updated the 10m inaccuracy.

Found at 1530. Co-ords may be out a little, we spent about 10 minutes looking about 10 mts away before we decided to expand the search and bingo!
Took: Geocoin

This was our first find for the day and would you know it as soon as we were on the track we ran into a couple of young muggles playing around GZ so we had to keep walking around which was a nice area. Some of our crew had tried to find this previously and left it as they said it was in the lantana but i have no idea what they were doing wrong!!! Was accompanied by Kombi again and it was one of them that actually made this find which was good as they are new to the game. All in all though we had alot of fun at this one, despite the fact that i got two ticks!!! TNLN, TFTC.

CRYSTAL PAULS

this was the 1st treasure of the day.. good place to hide it1 boat ramp definently needs some work!!! nice walk around the track.. had a lot of fun on this one!!!

This took a while to ferret out. Co-ordinates had me off the track a bit. Just about to pull the pin before poking a stick at the base of a stump.....

Nice little spot here
Thanks

17:53 Being careful to avoid the eyes / suspicion of muggles using the area I searched for a couple of minutes near my nemesis the lantana then went to the hints for help (in case I needn't mess wth the spikey plant). That didn't help much so went looking for more obvious places further from GZ when I found it. Looked at hint again and half of it made sense? I made it about 8m from GZ - S33 08.463 E151 31.282 but I guess that's pretty close with foliage around. TNLN and signed logbook. Thanks for the cache and bring me here for the first time.

I will have to keep better records of my finds.

While cutting myself in the lantana, my geo wife finds this one easy
