This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).
I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.
Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache.
If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 28 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

A few DNF’s as well as a needs maintenance log explaining it is definitely missing back in May.
I have found this one myself and it most definitely is missing, as outlined above I put in a maintenance log back in May with no update since.
According to Geocaching.com this user has not logged on since May and has obviously abandoned the game.
I’m all for keeping listings active, especially the older ones, but when it’s missing and the owner hasn’t being active in years it is just taking up space for another cache.

We think we found where it may have been hidden according to clues but didn't find the box. Maybe it has been buried after 11 years or taken.
Wow! Mozzies got a pint of blood I think.... Anyway... Great first cache. Well done. Tfth
My first Geocache find! Cute spot and easily accessible to the whole family. Loved seeing the logs from way back. Thanks Geocache!
Interesting little hidden spot. Easy find, not sure if there should be some camo cover? TFTC
Lid is cracked, may need some maintenance as paper is damp. Great little picnic spot, thanks.
Mr9 was adamant to find this one and after checking the the hint he was CIH. TFTC.
Love turning a blue frown into a yellow smiley . Bought my son with me who spotted it straight away.
Streak Day #1669 - Up this way to nab some caches for my 5000 milestone at the OZ Geomuster. Quick find with dave8153 and cache in good condition although can do with a new logbook. TFTC

Thought we were going to be carried away by the mosquitoes! Luckily it was a quick find.

The Geowife is hightailing it up the Central Coast for a few days - as is her wont at this time of year. I'll be at the Sydney cricket Test starting Thursday - as is my wont!
So today I thoughtfully offered to drive her up. Then I could spend the rest of the day caching in an area that I haven't cached out!
In the end I went for sixteen and managed to find the lot. Quite a few had medium walks through the bush attached to them - thus upping the average quality level of the finds.
Then the late drive home, having told Geosons #1 & #3 to arrange their own dinner. Win / Win / Win today!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Second dodgy log in a row, but still managed to sign something.
Quick find, although I didn't see a whirlpool anywhere.

I love the previous log by someone who hasn't found any caches, assuming because they can't find it that it must have been taken. Well sorry to report all in good condition if slightly damp, and it was pretty much in plain sight at ground zero though closer to the hard place than the rock. Covered it a little more after signing the log but it should still be an easy find. Thanks Super Snoop.
Took us around 5 mins of searching. Pen doesn’t work but I’ll bring a new one tomorrow
So this is Springfield... cache was a little exposed. Found, signed and returned. TFTC.
We found it but notes need to be replace immediately toys need to be put in there NOW I LOVES THIS SPOT
We found it but notes need to be replaced and toys need to be replaced but overall it great
Nice and easy on a Sunday stroll sticks and stones make it look like crossed bones
Two thumbs up from team rocket H.B 4 J.G

Went for a quick walk whilst waiting for my son to start soccer. Easy find. Needs maintenance as I was just barely able to sign the paper machè.

TFTC. Needs a new log. The mosquitos seem to love the middle of the day now as well. TFTC
Looks like it may now be gone... Gosford city council have the area closed off... No picnic table anymore
A quick find with the kids. Cache needs a bit of love but replacement log ok. TNLN TFTC
Gotcha - Lucky we didn't take our lunch as we would have had to have eaten it on the grass as the picnic tables are no longer there.
Hope the reserve is not the next to go or there will no longer be any more 'Sticks & Stones'.

First Cache!!
Ended up on wrong side of creek due to road closure and parking in different spot.
Once we got to the right side was a 5 min search and bingo.

I left home and it was sunny , I had a list of caches to do in the area. I stopped for this cache which was found easily as it was a little exposed. I covered it up a little better . Then it started raining so that ended my efforts oh well at least I got this one. Thanks for the cache Super Snoop tnln sl
A nice and easy find! If your an arachnophobic could be slightly daunting for you
Dropped in on way to Erina with Ausfeet, nice area went for a walk around after finding. tftc
