Got around to tidy this one up to help setup the next. I've attached the log as it was at this time.

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.

The owner I've tried contacting a few times via geocaching and no joy. I've maintained this once already with new container and all. Once it is archived. I will redo this cache, perhaps hidden slightly differently to minimize the water problem.

Weird foamy water nearby... Tftc , found with youcachedme,

Cache container requires cleaning?.. Couldn't write on log, took a photo instead. Found with cathelest. Thanks.

Saw some weird stuff out here, soapy foam bubbles forming a large ball at the drain pipe near by.. Must be attached to someone's bathroom?

Nice Little Cache, But Log is Saturated

Tried not to make an asp of myself so took the rubber snake that now guards the cache and left a shiny new ring

Nice little area log wet cache dried needs maintinance

Good hiding sot

Aww this one was cute... The dummy was kind of gross. Faggot find #3

Found with eaviate on our 29th wedding anniversary. A lovely romantic way to spend our day. GPS took us straight to the cache, however, we didn't see it immediately and walked over to the other side, before we came back to search again and found it immediately. Thanks Kurtusebear for the cache.

Spent a bit of time looking for this one but just ended up being well hidden at GZ. TFTC

Strolled over to GZ to find a couple of muggles and their 4 legged friend playing ball. Fortunately they soon moved on and we could move to GZ and find the prize. Soom located GZ and could see the cache a little exposed. SL and returned the cache and added some more camo

TFTC

iPad took us past the cache, but we eventually worked out where it was from the clues. As mentioned by previous finders, It is waterlogged and needs to be replaced.

Found with TeamBooo thanks

This cache is totatly ruined!

This cache is beyond repair, gladware container has been cracked and contents are soaked logs totally wreaked. recomened the cache be archived as contents are not worth repairing.

Cache and log damaged needs some attention urgently

Cache seriously in disrepair
Split lid and soaking wet
Emptied excess water but didn't replace log as it would be a waisted log very soon
Came with TeamBooo and
Boo's Dad

Oh dear what a mess I should have read the last log but hey we found it and took a photo of it.
Please take this off line now so your not wasting peoples time.
What a shame that this was our last find for the day before we head home to Kellyville.
Great park and location.

great cache.

Cache soaked and starting to smell. Lid cracked. Almost impossible to sign the log.

Reperio at 1040. Walked over from the nearby cache through this wonderful park, but once we found the cache, the fun stopped there. Cache is completely drenched, and is starting to smell. Didn't even attempt to sign the log. Needs maintenance immediately.

Gratias.

3:18pm
Instant find. Lid destroyed. Contents disgusting. Please either maintain your cache or archive it.

great cache, easy find. no 4 for the morning. cache water logged. tftc

Found this cache. The container is a bit cracked and water/dirt have been getting in. Needs repair.

The dog enjoyed his romp in the park whilst we hunted for this cache. An easy find, but unfortunately the container was broken and the contents wet and mouldy inside. Urgently needs new container and papers...

found this cache in a very sad state. container was 80% FULL of water. log is now a blob of pulp. items inside are totally waterlogged. i tipped out water and placed upside down to prevent any more water, however my efforts seemed a waste of time. this cache needs urgent overhall.

HELP!!!!!!!! I'M DROWNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a great spot, nice park and surroundings. cache hide is in a great place for a public park, away from prying eyes. This is a good spot but the disposable Glad container has broken and flooded, a Sistema container and a new log are needed asap (didn't have any with me), would hate to see this one disabled.

Log needs replacing. Very wet and container broken.

TNLN SL

Found it today but it's soaking wet as the lid has a big crack in it.

Sent from my mobile device.

this cache needs major work to it log book was so wet could not sign it lid cracked and so on

This dirty little cache needs to be replaced or removed it was too foul to even sign...

Water damaged couldn't write in log

Please replace the whole cache - the container isn't very strong and the lid is broken.
The log is totally saturated and mouldy.
The contents are all wet.

Cashe contents were all over the ground.
The log is totally saturated and mouldy!
Put the cache back together and re-hid it.
The lid is broken.
Tried to sign the log.

Found it but the log is to water damaged to sign! Cache needs replacing. Also geocoin was missing????

Time for a new lid on this one

TFTC! yes - the lid is cracked, and I actually had to tip water out of it!! [xx(]. Nice little walk though, some rabbits hopping around this morning and weren't too fussed about me.

Found last Saturday (late log) with dangerman5000
This cache is soaked. I don't even want to know what the squishy thing inside it is...no geocoin..
Tftc!

This turned out to be a saga. We were heading to GZ when we noticed a couple of people exercising their dog next to GZ. When we looked to GZ the cache was sitting on top of a stump totally exposed. We withdrew and broke out some snacks while we waited for them to leave which eventually happened. We moved in to GZ and checked the cache it seemed to be fine (except ther wasn't a Geocoin). We signed the logbook, well the cover as it is full, and rehid the cache as well as we could. This cache is need of maintenance. TFTC Kurtusebear. [

Found it. TFTH SL

3rd times the charm with me as ifound it today with a friend while rode our bikes in the rain

found the cache - I didn't find the geocoin which was supposed to have been in it though.

Found it nice and easy on the way to stay with my geohusband's brother for two nights at Woy Woy Bay. Stopped for lunch.
Nice park
Thanks Kurtusebear for the cache.

I was last at this park probably about 18 years ago for a family Christmas picnic. The park doesn't seem to have changed too much. TFTC.

Great place! This was my first but not my last! I tried for others last night but was disapointed. I took geocoin to move somewhere fantastic! Didn't bring writing equipment or replacable but I'll be back in the cove of night to do so ?

Almost gave up due to muggles and poor iPhone GPS coverage. But successful in the end.

Logged Only. 1st Cache ever.

Was great to find 1st cache. Many more to come.

XC heading back to Sydney airport to fly home to NZ.. Stopped here for an easy find..
Mossies were around so didn't linger... Needs a new log book.

Nice quick find.

Nice hide no one around sat arvo tftc coin for wrist lanyard

Knowing that I was heading this way for work I "researched" some caches in the area.
then promptly left my gps at home so I attempted the sacry thought of using memory recall, something I had heard about once but never actually used it succesfully myself, untill today that is )
feeling proud of my achievments I signed the log and left b4 being spotted my nearby workers
sl tftc
*note to future cachers, do yourself a favour and don't forget the areoguard, the mozzies were relentless in their quest to taste my blood

nice hide, had to wait for the cricketers to disperse.

easy find gps kept telling me where it was i just couldnt see it at first took jubilee 50 cent and left penrith panthers key ring

1 of 6 for the day. A quick find by TheMiniGatherer while dad got eaten by mozzies. Took a wooden coin thingy and left an eraser. Thanks Kurtusebear.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Easy find on a Hot Central Coast Day.
Sorry didn't notice the GeoCoin

Found with Bec1988. Great spot nice park. Not a far walk from becs sisters place

Good find on a quiet afternoon. Went for the find with family that live up the road : )

The day was starting to unfold to be a real team effort, when I couldn't find the cache Madstars could and if he was having trouble I could. I am not to sure which one of us located the cache but one of us did, but both signed the log and then one of us put it back....

TFTC

Tamykain.

Just like to help Tamykian out here and let him know this was one of the few I did find... Thanks mate. lol

We really loved the auto routing maps on the GPS for these caches, it really helped us along.

Thanks Kurtusebear for the cache.

8.45am Cache 4 of 27.

Very noisy critters. No trackables in the cache.

Left a new log book so all good now.

Team Casho’s Boy weekend of caching up north.

With the girls at home the boys decided to go a caching.

Armed with a list of lower end caches. No disrespect to the caches or their owners there were many wonderful caches, locations and things to see in our travels. We just set up a search for those with a terrain level of around 2 – 2 ½ for this trip to build up our numbers heading towards our 1000th find in our first year. As this was the case many of our logs would just read easy find so to expand on that we are including a run down on bits of our trip in all logs.

Trip
Wollongong – Raymond Terrace – Nelsons Bay and home via the Central Coast area.
Visiting relo’s while in the area (I know a major waist of caching time).
Found not only our 900th find but also out 950th, on our way to the big 1000.

Things we seen
Views, fireworks, kids jumping their bikes off the end of a wharf, a kangaroo, a koala, crabs by the hundreds, lizards, a crock, a turtle, kookaburra, aliens, ducks, dogs, boats, tankers, a weather station, the Coast Guard, police, ambulance and the fire brigade and that was just for starters.

Removed a box of matches from a cache in a bush area. Not such a good idea I thought.

Got bitten by mozzies, invaded by school kids while trying to return a cache, did some 4 wheel driving, got busted by muggles, introduced my muggle family to caching, collected some travellers, found some new and interesting hide styles and carried out maintenance on several caches while on the go. On the way home had to take the long way due to a fatal car accident on Picton Rd. Stopped to help a driver who got a puncher as a result of the accident. Seen his car fall off the jack while we were passing by, legs under the car (all ok there thankfully). Kids got paid for our assistance as I would not accept the money. This detour proved longer then it should have due to the 3 new caches in Appin last week.

Our thanks to the girls for allowing us to cache without then (not that they had any other choice) and the many cache owners who placed the caches we attended.

We look forward to catching up with fellow cacher’s at the Geocaching Association of NSW Nurragingy Christmas Party GC1ZCCX December 12 2009, were all going well this will be our 1000th find.

Looks like the Oz Wagga Wagga Mega Event (April 2-5, 2010) GC1Y5R has just hit the MEGA requirements and we can’t wait to be part of it.

Merry Christmas
Happy and safe caching.
Team Casho

Log book needs maintenance.

Nice cache - had the geokids and some hangers on from a Guide party

3194.

I had an hour or so between meetings today and thought I might have a look on the GPS for nearby caches. I found the area easily but really made this one a whole lot harder than it should have been (especially in good work clothes!)

Thanks for the cache

While visiting Gosford this week with the team from NASPO thought we would grab some caches.
Nice easy find close to an interesting walk along the waters edge

Found this one after spending hours at Dividing is Prohibited. Had some none believers with us so they were not allowed to be in the photo. But a great Team effort from Mick-Dyana & kalmlittleexplorers we thought we were losing our touch
