14/07/2011 night hunt. Used to frequent this area as kids so no trouble finding spot but we forgot our snorkel. Was high tide but would still need snorkel for low. No muggles here at 9p.m. TFTAdventure.

No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

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.

Stack of DNF'S, no maintenance by CO.

Team SMS were back out and about last nite, and with a few too many drinks under our belts we became stubborn and wanted to find this thing. After an hr of searching we found nothing. cache is not here. FN.TN.LN
Meow for now

Came here to investigate where it could've washed away to, with no luck. Ended up exploring the area, which was nice

no where to be seen

We tried but failed

Seems this cache is no longer where it should be as the last few cachers have been unsuccessful, even when they have previously found it.

Hadn't read the logs before attempting this one while out and about today. Agree that it definetly is not there anymore. New cache would be great please!

Went looking for this one with dazndky but didn't find it.
This was our second visit to this cache - found it the first time.

As we had previously found this one, we knew where it should be so after dazndky didn't find it I checked and sure enough, it's not there anymore and checking the logs it hasn't been found for some time.

It is long past time for the cache owner to replace or archive this cache. We'd prefer it to be replaced as this is a great location.

Cache appears to be gone, had a previous finder with me that confirmed this.

No sight of the cache at all. Ramp no longer under water but no paver or cache could be found.

Or what's left of it cache destroyed it's approx 5 meters from ramp needs replacing see photo.nice location
Thanks
Vra

As per cache log it's destroyed needs replacing.
Thanks for location

still under water

We couldn't even approach GZ due to the water flooding the reserve. We hope the cache survived. We will try again next time.

it is really wet all around but we wont give up! only new to this, cant wait to go and find more!!!

Still too wet & flooded to find this one.... We'll b back when it's drier.

No luck with this today. I should have taken note of previous lookers. Clear skies for a top spot anyway.

Totally flooded and forgot my snorkel! Rain rain go away, we'll come again another day.

Creek quite flooded which made for interesting times getting onto the bridge! Will have to return in drier times!

Both sides of the bridge now flooded

Somewhat wet here still

We walked around to GZ and thought oh no its under water [:0] so it put us off until we realised there is another side to the story!!!
Found cache safe and dry signed log and returned as per CO instructions.

Reperio at 1545. This was another nice little spot visited today on a tour around the east coast, and although the area was a little muddy, we didn't have to get dirty which was great.

Gratias.

TFTC i left a new notebook for logs....

Ok this one was tricky to find in the dark and the wind and the mud but none the less fun, Good hiding place

also thanks to Numbat177

Easy but good find. No travel bugs in cache, owner please mark them as missing. Tftc

Log full

It started to rain as we pulled up to this one, and after getting a little muddy, we found it easily with no muggles around. TFTC! We will have to come picnic in this park next time we're in the area.

Found this one after a short walk from the town centre. There was a fund raiser going on for Qld flood appeal and ironically (and unfortunately) the weather was miserable and the turnout looked a little low. Nice stroll and found easily. SL TFTC

Found this one while out on a walk with family. TTB SL TFTC

A nice cache, easy to find in a nice area. Took nothing, left a Ben 10 card. Thanks (log book needs replacing).

Lovely walk on pathway to gz and found it very well but no tb there so drop off tb.... thanks

2nd cache for the day, nice easy find. SL TNLN TFTC

Australia Day celebrations in progress. Luckily not too many walking past the bridge. Found quickly.
IN: Dog Keyring, OUT: Australia Keyring. TFTC

3412 - A visit to this area with some time for a few caches...

This one took a while to locate - a few muggles walking around the area had to be avoided. All good in the end - Thanks philthy747 !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Very disappointed to find all TB's and the geocoin missing from cache after making the trip from Newcastle.Guessing that someone new to geocaching has taken them and doesn't know how to log the find etc.
Will leave notes for owners of these items.

Geoteen fell off the bridgeinto the very muddy water. Thought she could balance on the hand rail with both feet up! Provided perfect cover and much amusement to three local lads who wandered past complete with fishing gear and beer cans, just as I retrieved the cache!

Quick easy one! TFTC!

Quick little find, cheers. TNLN. S/L.

Found it pretty easy. Was a bit damp inside the box. Make sure you seal the bags.

TFTC

Happy new year 2011. Found with Ben&Jess and BESTcrew. Easy find. Cache is a little wet.

First one . I am hooked . So much Fun.

After one slow find and one dnf it was good to get this one quickly. A nice spot. TFTC

nice walk TFTC

Tftc

Nice walk TFTC SL

Yep, a bit muddy here today, although in hindsight I realised it could have been located by simply laying on the right part of the wooden slats (sorry, no hint in that - once at GZ you'll notice it is all either wood, mud, or water).
Even having read the clue, I had a couple of choices as to which spot to select - but I got it right first go, which was nice.
I well placed hide, thanks.
Visited a TB & coin, but did not take or leave anything today.

Boyfriend and I stopped in on our way out for dinner. Was a mission with all the mud... sent the boyfriend in the mud - wasn't getting my shoes dirty!!!
Signed the log, took nothing and left nothing. Well done on the hiding spot!!

We had to use a lot of stealth as there was a muggle fishing on the otherside so we took a seat at GZ and reached under. tFTC

What's the go nothing in here haha nice cache tho

Cache a little wet. But was able to sign

Glad to find this cache today after a previous attempt ended in a DNF (due to needed maintenance, not this cachers incompetence, as feared ).

TNLN, TFTC!

A nice easy find, well placed. Took chipmunk, left coke key ring. tftc

Nice to be able to log a successful visit to this cache after a failed attempt previously.
TNLN, TFTC

tftc, no problems with muggles. took marble left chipmunk. no tb's inside.

Easy find once the path was clear. Took cache around the corner to sign, then replaced it. Took TB

Lovely spot and will go back to spend more leisure time there! Found the cache quite easily (or rather 'Spectacle' did). Took 'Tim the Otter' and dropped off 'Shreck - Down
Under'

TFTC

Our second find.. Tricky to not be seen with passing bike riders.. Left pineapple charm - didn't take..

Found in the dark on my first East Coast caching adventure TNLN SL TFTH

[Looked but could not find.] Had been rain lately and stream was high, maybe cache under water.

Quick find, but had to wait for muggles walking by before I could replace the cache. No TBs, but there is now! I left Tim the Otter TB to go on his merry way.

Nice quick find to end a days caching around the Entrance. TFTC TNLN.

Finally found it

Where did all the keyrings go

Brilliant views! Cache was not well hidden and the trackables were absent and as far as I can see haven't been logged which is a shame. TNLNSL TFTC!

A quick find on the way home.
Took TB Communicate!.
Left some toys, TNSL TFTC

Was visiting Gosford for a dance competition and had a bit of time to visit some nearby areas. Also had a TB to drop off to continue its journey. Loved the amount of parks for picnics and kids. Cache was a little damp inside so put the log and small things into a new ziplock bag.

Dropped off Communicate! TB, and was hoping to pick up the others listed, but alas, they were not there and hadn't been logged as having been picked up.

Took thong keyring, and left carabiner (mmm maybe should have left something non metal.)

We found this one on a caching weekend on the Central Coast. We had a nice walk along the path towards GZ passing lots of muggles and their dogs - including a HUGE black and white Great Dane. We had to wait for a while for a break in the muggle [and dog] traffic so we could search for the cache. It was a reasonably quick find, but we were saddened to see that there were no trackables in it despite there being four listed in it. On our walk back to the car we passed even more dogs and their owners - we suspect there must have been some sort of 'dog convention' as some of the dogs were even in fancy dress. TNLNSL TFTC

TFTC. We were here a couple of weeks ago and it wasnt a matter of we couldn't find it....we didn't have our scuba gear with us . The area was flooded and the bridge was well under water. Today we went back to the area and forgot to take the phone with GPS so decided to poke around. It was an easy find (maybe we're getting good at this). A little damp but the contents were OK. Took G-81 key ring and left HD memory card with aerial shots of Swansea area. Didn't realise this was a theme cache until we got home to log it, sorry. We might go back to it at a later time and stick a key ring in it.

Great cycling path - we'll b back for a ride later. Left G-81 metal keyring. TN.

Found it in Team with wodi on our way to Cairns

Out: TB

Found at 1450. A nice walk/cycle way by the lake. The cache was a bit damp and needs some TLC. Thanks philthy747.

A fun easy find. The cache was a bit wet but still intact. We left an elephant and picked up a travel bug. The blue plane - we thought we'd try and get his return journey underway.

This cache desperately needs some maintenance, was an easy find but full of water and some of the swaps are brown with rust, its a great spot, dont let it fall into disrepair TNSl left a key ring TFTC

There was about an inch of water in the bottom of the container. the log was fine in a sealed bag but some other items were quite wet. We emptied the water out and dried it as best we could but didn't have a replacement zip lock bag for the other items in there. We left the Mac clan's Blue Plane. TFTC.

Refer to needs maintenance log.

I found it quickly on a day visiting friends on the central coast. TFTC SL

Thanks for the cache! Container was a bit wet but everything seemed to be in tact. TNLNSL

Found after a bit of searching, water level was high. Found paver first which was away from the cache. TNLN.
Replaced with paver on top.
Needs maintenance, full of water, travel bug wet.
Emptied what water we could out. TFTH

Found this cache easily enough after a short walk from the park. Cache was completely devoid of swaps. Left a golf ball I had found in the dunes earlier while DNFing the cache there and a TB that has been a long time between caches.

Logged from my phone using the Geocache Navigator by Trimble

This one took some finding as it had moved back a little & was hard to reach.TFTC.

Found it, nice and obvious once you find it.
Unsure how to log correctly so will post it here: Found the tracking bug.

Well done philthy747, we found it this time, think it
would be hard to locate after heavy rain! Took travel bug 'kapono,
left travel bug 'piglet'.

Gotcha !! TFTC

its was hard but we got it after a few minuts TFTC

Dropping off TB.

New container and log in place.

Couldn't find this one we searched everywhere. Even used the clue and couldn't find the item mentioned. I think it floated away.
