Hi Super Snoop,

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, only to discourage people from visiting this location until this cache may be addressed.

**Please note that caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis you will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't just pop out and fix the issue,** geocache maintenance can wait. Once the acute threat of pandemic is over, I will remind you about your cache needing attention.

Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so. However, I would like to assure you I will not be archiving any caches which the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain.

I'll pass by in about another 45 days and hopefully this will all be over.

I looked for 45 min and found a few broken containers so I’m not sure

There's quite a history in the logs of damaged containers and missing logs and no mention of any owner maintenance. I really do get the feeling the CO has left the game. This one's gone so it's time to bring it to the attention of a Reviewer to determine its future.

OCW Calypso62 today for my birthday.
We found the remains of the cache, but it has all gone.
Took away the rubbish.
Can the CO please check on the cache.

Only found a lid for this one. CO intervention definitely needed however, I fear this cache has been abandoned. We wait and see.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Needs replacement

Urgent repairs needed swag everywhere no note book

Found with BillHill531.cache was littered everywhere. Replaced with new cache. TFTC Super Snoop.

Found with Shaneo58 before joining Banj5150, thusbruv_sqrd and beary_unicorn, Mighty Minions. We came down from up North for some special caches. We had some before meeting to others so came to the sculptures, we found a lidless container and some nick nacks for the swag and amn empty plastic bag. I had a smaller container and shane a notepad this was left under the old inverted container and covered. there was no travelbug to be found. Interesting location for the sculptures
Log signed and cache placed as expected

**Thanks For The Cache** Super Snoop.

This is the 1st cache of 7 for today at 8:45:00 AM on Sat 16Jan2021

We were nearby today to adopt a little puppy dog, and swung by to take the find. I didn't realise the sculptures had bee moved from Wondabyne station which is where I last saw them. What a great location for them. I suspect it's a nice new cache container and log. TFTC.

Found with My Dad (DJANT) and my Brothers (dart16 & Jedi Anakin) I have my own account now and am trying to catch up to the boys Thanks for the cache.

Fun easy little cache to find

What a great hint!
So sad to see it completely broken. TFTC

No paper attached, container broken

Identified only by a picture of a previous log. Needs replacing very soon, nothing left but a zip lock bag and a bit of plastic.

Found the scattered remains. Needs replacing. TFTC.

Hidden it a little better this time. It was right out in the open

Definitely needs some love: broken container, sodden logbook & scattered across everywhere

Have left the log in a ziplock bag by the trough.

Needs some tlc

Was scattered everywhere but we found it!

Found it scattered in pieces- looked as thought the wind blew it apart. Definitely in need of replacing!!

Found it but need maintenance!

Cool little trough

Found it

Found but cache will die soon. Log wet unable to sign

Amazing sculptures. Found the cache after a bit of searching but it definitely needs replacing.

Australia Day find... thinking of my Canadian Crew in Alberta and wondering if / where there was an International Sculpture Symposium over there.

Cool spot

Yay

Find #1304
Decided to go to Mt Penang Gardens for a walk around the gardens and couldn’t resist stopping to grab a cache! Thanks for bringing me to this spot, the sculptures were pretty cool. Felt a bit strange being so close to the juvie centre but trusted that this wasn’t a forbidden area. Gorgeous day, getting hot out now!
Log book dry. TFTCSL Thanks for placing Super Snoop

I was in the area for the long weekend & identified some caches to tick off Ausmer boxes.

As I was admiring the sculptures here, a bloke out walking his dog struck up a conversation with me & we chatted about the footy, the drought, the economy, my beloved Mariners & his upcoming trip to Auckland. After we parted ways, I got down to business of finding the cache - it took a while & I stated to think it might've finally disappeared considering the previous logs. However I made the find & it is now in a zip lock bag, providing some protection. Great spot for a cache, thanks for bringing me here. TFTC.

Couldn’t find this one, we ran out of time as the sun set. Going to go back soon for another look

First find. Log book shows first entry over 10years a go which is fun!

Found with Beary_Unicorns on a beautiful winter's afternoon, tftc

Uregent maintenance required

Tftc

Desperately needs maintenance. TFTC

GeoJess and I took GeoMumma out for a Mother’s Day adventure. I remember these sculptures from train trips to Sydney for Uni. Thanks Super Snoop for this cache. Great to know where they ended up!

Worth to come here to see Sculptures.

Yes

With my classes

Close 19 2

Look for rocks

On a semi wet day wanted something to do with grandchildren. Good fun although leeches spoilt it for the youngest. Thanks for creating this geocache we really enjoyed finding this one.

Found it after searching the surrounding area near the statues for about 5 mins. IN URGENT NEED OF REPAIR!!! Container is badly damaged and the log is, well, waterlogged! Tried to record our visit, but unable to.
TFTC!

Found. RIP

First find

Found after work. After coming out this way for some shopping, only to not find the shop (it closed/moved) I decided to make it a useful trip and find some caches. Found five out of the six I tried, before it got too dark and was time to go home.
A strange drive out to this one. I did not know about the nearby facilities. Really interesting art here. Cache found easily.
Thanks for the art and cache!

Didn't find this time

Rip

Great sculptures up here - thanks for the location! SL T4TC

TFTC Had ball
For time for us and we are hooked

Great sculptures. I remember these at Wondabyne as you whizzed by on the train. Great size cache although the plastic is breaking down with age. Thanks for placing the cache in such a unique spot.

The great thing about geoCaching is that it takes you to some surprising places. And this was no exception. Enjoyed exploring the sculptures as much as searching for the cache. Spotted the camo on approach before spotting the hint object. As others have mentioned, container damaged but contents in good order.
TFTC Super Snoop

Cool

thanks nice find 3/3 found.
PLEASE REPLACE CONTAINER

Great spot, took us a while to find! Container is cracked but there’s a ziplock to keep the book dry.

#4610 (9 of 9 today)

Too many days recently of just one or two finds. So decided to head north of the Hawkesbury for a larger haul.
Went for nine around Mount Penang (and a bit of info for one more) and found them all. One of the finds hadn't been found for almost a year! Well, sort of... But officially, yes.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
So after wandering away from here - twice - I finally came back here. Fascinating sculptures, but some info plaques would be nice.

Made my way to GZ. Checked a few places. Hmmm. Went for the hint. I've checked there.
But it did suggest an area. Soon spotted something camo-like. Gotcha.

Wow, the container really needs TLC. But the contents are all in top condition.

Completed singing duties and replaced. Time to head home.

Why didn't you hide it amongst the cool looking statues? But still, gun location to visit.

Nice one. Cache find #3! Yay!
Good clue too. Easy with kids

Beautiful spot

Good hiding spot

Tftc

Was well hidden

The container is cracked and needs to be replaced. However, the log is well protected by the plastic bag. Great spot. TFTC

Find #1137
We spent the day caching around the Central Coast today, instead of work/vacation care. With much nicer weather than the preceeding couple of days, we had a great day filling in some D:T grid holes and doing some less-park-and-grab caches than we did last weekend.
It felt weird driving here, driving through some sort of juvie detention suburb! The sculptures were very cool, surely could be in a better spot? The cache container is badly broken, only a matter of time before the elements destroy it.... TFTC

Today we had a GREAT day caching around Gosford and Tumbi Umbi, we found 19 caches and only 2 DNFs. Lots of big walks and aching legs!

### **TFTC** ###

Out for a Christmas lunch at the Waterfall Cafe with family - TFTC.

Container getting a bit broken but logbook safe and dry

Finally found a GC with swaps in it. Daughter was very excited. Goood tips!

Found 19/10/16 with DACAJLL

Found with LX6868, we also grabbed the trackable

I really enjoyed this place and looking at these sculptures, a great natural setting for them too. The cache was quickly located after a short search. The container is cracked and could do with a new one although contents weren't too wet. TFTC.

Tricky but fun.

Gotcha -I remember these sculptures when they were at Wondabine Railway Station. I never got to walk around them though. I saw them from the train. Loved the clues.

Great spot.. Never knew the statues were there and lived in Kariong for 9 years! Took a while but stuck to the clues and finally found it!!

Yay! we found it little walk and stretch but found it.

Nice set of sculptures.
Can't work out if they are being maintained or being run down.

Couple of minutes to find. Tftc tnln

Nice and easy find!
