It Just Sucks Dora Creek, New South Wales, Australia

Unfortunately, I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore as advised previously, the cache is being de-listed (Archived) to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

The [**Geocache Maintenance guideline**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains what needs to happen with a Disable cache.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article [**here**](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

If you wish to contact me please send an email via my profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

Referred for reviewer attention ... lots of DNFs going back months and no response to past NM logs.

---------

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

I notice from one or more log entries that this cache would seem to be in need of some help - **there appears to be a need for owner intervention.**

Therefore, the cache is being temporarily disabling so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) I cannot see any log that indicates a recent visit by the CO to this cache.

If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) by **28th September,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?

You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:

- Repair and/or Replace your cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.

- If you don't plan on fixing it up then please [**Archive it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.

- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (by 28th September). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will unfortunately have to de-list (Archive) the cache on the basis that it has been abandoned.

Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

Did not find

I agree, I think it's been muggled.

I agree with the cache name, as DNF . Evidence of lots of people searching here, and I gave it a good, but unsuccessful, search too.

We came we searched and searched some more.
That really did suck as the cache was not found.

Didn’t find it but we think it’s been taken

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

No luck with this one...ammo tin or otherwise

Searched the clumps of trees in the vicinity of GZ and couldn’t find anything.

A DNF for us today.

Tks ... Postman Pat ... GazMag

One of the last of the day, just driving down this pretty road, and saw there was a cache here. Well, there was supposed to be one here, but we could not find it. Thanks Postman Pat.

Cache getting a bit crowded today

Unfortunately we didn't find anything here.

Its GeoMuster time around the Lake Mac. Been planning to attend this one for a while and was happy to see it get Mega status. Very enjoyable weekend away with FurfacesLL #1 and catching up with so many different cachers.

No luck on this one unfortunately, these things happen. The ammo can shown in Mighty Minions picture most definately is not at GZ so unless it has been moved some distance away, I am assuming it has been stolen.

Thanks for the cache hide Postman Pat its been a fab weekend!

If this one is an ammo can, pretty sure it's not here anymore

Did not find

Nice quick find... TFTC

Great spot.

Firstly future finders bring some AEROGARD. Mr Minion and Leopard Kat joined me this afternoon to look for this cache but once we started walking and the Mozzies came out they quickly retreated back to the car. I was doing ok until I reached the cache and then they swarmed and they were fierce. I had read past logs and brought a replacement container but I didn't have a log book so just placed a sheet of paper. There was not much water flowing in the chanel. Thanks for the cache Postman Pat tnln replaced as found sl

GET A NEW ONE! ITS TOO DESTROYED. BRING AEROGUARD..

It’s all destroyed though

Quick easy find. TFTC. The 4Rods.

As a previous finder noted, the ammo can is rusted. We found it filled with water. Drained out what we could. The log book was totally soaked. We could not sign it. A photo log will have to suffice.
The 4Rods.

Been a while since I've seen an ammo can cache. Unfortunately this one is rusting away. TFTC

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

water damaged. can't sign log. container rusted

Needs maintenance.. Rusty and waterlogged. Could not sign

Easy find

Easy find

Good one to find, bit eary at night

I was staying just down the road so took a short drive and stroll to find this one.
Cache has seen better days but a great container
TFTC

Quick find while taking a break from fishing

No luck today!

Had a good long look. Could not find it.

Found it n wet logbook. Can't write or stamp. Check your logbook.
Need new logbook

All very wet and yucky, needs new log

Really need mintenance, all contents are wet.

Discover oz

New spot out of our usual hunting ground. Container and cache needs replacing. Goid old salt air rusting container

Needs new container and some love

Late night find tftc

Found on a bike train day. Rode the bike to the train station and then caught the train. Got off one stop and then rode the bike over the creek and then to this gz. Had fun exploring the area and made a quick find. Like others have said the log is pretty well non writable. I scratched my name into it TFTC

Found on our way home from up north, log very wet. Thanks to Postman Pat

TFTC,
Last day of our quick trip to Queensland.
Found this on our return trip as I attempt to achieve a 3 per day average for 2015. Not sure if I will get there.
Visited trackables.

Great container but needs a bit of TLC

Needs maintenance -wet paper and hard to open due to rust. Don't change container as it a great one

TFTC!

TFTC, easy fast find, cache is a bit rusty but in OK condition.

Left Trackable "Sydney the Koala"

First find with my daughter. Looking forward to many more adventures together. Thanks.

Great hide. Thanks.

Cache was a bit damp

Tftc. Sl

Out for a morning caching with Deheaps. Pretty quick find Coords accurate. SL. TFTC

When I realised where this one was I was excited to cross it off! Being a local fishing spot, I used to come down here a lot with my dad as a kid. Not so often nowadays and no stopping to throw a line in today.
Nice easy find with accurate hint. I also have to say the cache container is pretty cool, looks like some sort of old ammo container? Not sure, but interesting nonetheless. Was quite visible so covered it over a bit better upon replacing.
Cheers for the cache and the nostalgia!

Accurate directions. well hidden treasure little bit dirty. thank you

After doing some Thursday night shopping for mothers day, it was well and truly dark by the time my son and I got out to this cache. We took a torch each and headed out. At first I thought there was someone else near the inlet, as the waves made a very unique splashing sound. And that was when the power station was not taking water. We headed over to the trees, where the ground was a bit sloshy and Junior made me carry him. We searched for quite a while before finally finding the well covered cache. Unfortunately the cache had a bit of water in it and will need a good clean out (which is difficult in the dark with a little boy, sorry). This was really surprising as I have never seen one of these types of containers with this problem. It seemed well sealed when I opened it, so not sure what the problem is. The log's bag stopped most of the moisture so we could still sigh the log OK. On the way back we spotted some small fish near the inlet. I wonder what happens to the fish in the power station.
Thanks for the fun night adventure and decent sized cache container!

Up from Sydney on an Easter break. Thanks for bringing us here. Some people fishing in the intake. Didn't seem to be sucking in much water today.

I decided to head north today to pick up an unique geocache that was passing through the area. It was a bit of a drive to get up here but I figured it would be worth it and it provided me with an opportunity to do some more caches in another area.

This one was a little bit of a drive but the description for it sold it to me and I wanted to go and check it out! I drove up to the parking area only to find a car there and a man fishing in the inlet. Noticing that the cache was further away I decided to park at another gate and head towards the GZ from another direction.

I walked along the trail and wasn't in sight of the fisherman at all. I headed towards the GZ and found the area that I was looking for. It was now to just find the geocache. I walked around the GZ looking in the nooks and crannies trying to spot something but with no luck. I took at closer look in an area and then I spotted it! A clever hide indeed, especially for something of that size in an area like this! Well played..

I opened up the cache and scribbled on the log before taking my time to hide it exactly as I had found it. I then headed over to the inlet to have a look but unfortunately it wasn't running all that quickly at the moment. I was hoping to be able to speak to the man fishing and ask him if he ever caught much in the area but he seemed to focused on his fishing and didn't pay me any attention at all.

TFTC cheers

Cool cache beware mosie's.. Left pewter fairy

Looked at every clump of trees. Say it is gone!

Think someone took it

Quite surprised to find this cache in an odd location and as an amo tin! Interesting that this one hadn't been found for three months. TFTC!!

Mother day caching... the best!!

The list of no's in this area is extensive, No Swimming, boating, camping, fires but nothing about caching. The geowife was not overly happy with the long grass transversed to reach GZ but with the hint the container was soon located. TNLN SL and got out of there whilst still having enough blood to do so. (the mozzies were bad).

Lol got the wrong clump to start with. Great camo. TFTC

Nice one .. and not even a fisherperson in sight!!! TFTC

Hey was cool - well camouflaged

Found troy with me found[Time to Find: 18 min]

found it , nice spot that not to many people know about, bring the fishing rod we saw a man catch 3 fish while we were looking. could probably be moved somewhere closeby as it is not in the best position esp if the new spot was in a magnetic tin.

Find number 200!!! I'll admit, I was sort of expecting balloons and streamers to start falling from above and a fanfare to start playing! None of this happened though. Oh well. Nice little spot. I thought some workers up the road might be able to see me, but the GZ was hidden from their view. SL. TFTC.

quick find

quick find tftc

Found just as the sun went down. TFTC

Not very well hidden. Cool walk!

Lots of stuff in this one. Not very well hidden hehe

Great one to take the kids

Easy find. Great cache!

Nice one to find.

Found it with the geofamily

Started at the right stop then went to the wrong spot and then back to the right spot again and found it! Good size cache. TNLN TFTC

Plenty of fishermen near the road.
Cache soon found. Not sure where all that poo by the cache came from? - Kangeroo, Koala?

SL TFTC

TFTC.

TFTC. Nice container, Dora Creek is nice and sunny today.

Yay, waited for a cold spell so that the snake would be asleep. No wonder no one else saw the snake, we were looking in the wrong clump of trees

Love the cache container - Ammo box. [:o)]
A Scouts Australia Competition

great to see a regular size. Geoson #2 found the right clump, Geomum uncovered it. Thankfully no snake.

Wonderful ammobox. Enjoyed this find. [:x]

We were spooked by the red belly black snake!! Be careful!!

Second visit, second time to encounter a red belly black snake (juvenile) and give up. Are we the only ones to stumble on a snake? The crew gave up again, not excited about uncovering another snake at close quarters!

Funny find by our crazy GeoTana! TFTC

Fellow geo'Miss M 'I think I'm standing on suitcase?'
Nice one!
