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.

Too many mozzies to stay too long. Maybe check as there a few dnf's now

Not this time, or the last time ️

Second time searching couldn’t find much

No idea where this one is. I will come back and have another look!

Took a while to find, it's rusty and gross and the log is a paper mess... couldn't sign. Needs maintenance

I only had a brief look, but didn't find anything.

Couldn’t find, very hard, or is wasn’t there anymore

ben... I found your cache Skinner Wetlands on 5/9/18, 1:11 pm. This is my find 2086 and find # 8 today. Almost gave up when a search up and down the gate came up empty. Read previous logs and widen my search and soon CIH. Not what I thought I was looking for. Emergency logbook put in. May I suggest this cache be moved to above flood line. Thanks for the cache! TNSLLN

Found. Log was out of bag and very saturated...unable to write on it. Needs replacing. Didn't have any spare logs to put in. Placed cache bag in same spot.

I didn’t want to get too dirty today but my phone seemed keen to make me charge into the undergrowth. Luckily I hesitated as it changed its mind and pointed me much closer. Suddenly I spotted the cache on the ground in plain view. Huh?
As expected, the logbook was very damp, but I could still sign up gently. I then replaced everything into a slightly larger container with some silica bags to absorb moisture and replaced it in what I hope is the secure spot where it normally lives.
If the next finder or CO discovers everything has dried out, you could go back to the original setup and keep my bigger container for your own purposes, or keep using it - it’s up to you. TFTC.

Disgusting but very muddy good cache had fun took seven minutes to find but good

Good location! Not too hard. Had no pen, also cache and been waterlogged

Found it. Very smart hide

LJJE found it on the 4/1/18. Cache is safe but has been getting wet with recent rains.

Mozzies+++ could not find

Our first find

Quick easy find. Coords were spot on. All good here. TFTC

Have to say the coordinates were pretty spot on but still not sure we found it in original spot...I'm sure it could get wet here! Signed log and replaced cache where found.
Thanks for the cache ben.

As per Oztracker’s comment, we’re not certain this cache is where it’s meant to be...CO may wish to check on this one as it would, indeed, get wet were it to remain here . We didn’t find the GPS as accurate; we were 6m off, but He-Squirrel found it with a boot of his shoe .

CO may wish to check on possible cache creep? TFTC

Can’t it

Have to say the coord was very accurate. TFTC

Found it

Bashed around like a goose and couldn't find. Then just stood there and looked, and there she was. TFTC.

Had been here before, and police had asked what we were doing. They were all good after we explained. Couldn't find it then, so came back today. After searching in what I thought was an obvious area....it wasn't. Checked coords again and it lead me right to it. TFTC

Sweet

Teapot

We thoroughly enjoyed our drive around the area near Wellington Point today. This would be a really lovely area to live. Thanks for showing us a little bit more of it today by placing the cache here ben. We found it in an unexpected place that was indicated by the co-ords. Cheers and happy caching!

Out with geo friends whilst enjoying my first visit to the Wellington Point district. The cache was found quickly but definitely not where the person who wrote a DNF thought it was, co-ords were spot on.
Thanks ben...for the hide and TFTC

Didn't even have time to get out of the car before cache call was heard - found it! Thanks ben...

I think it was in side the gate

Found it! 6th one for today! Log was wet so we did not sign but did leave a small replacement sticky note. Please replace log. Found by Isla.

Took the boys out this arvo for a drive to Redlands, to check out the CITO launch point for Sunday (can't wait to get on a kayak again ) and to have some lunch by the bay

Watch for mozzies. Thanks

Nice and dry here so pulled up at the gate at GZ.
Searched inside the gate outside the gate. Up and down and then finally after expanding my search area I spied the cache.
Thanks ben..

Today is a Geocaching day with Selva Girls and KerriMG to start turning green dots into smiley faces around the Ormiston area. We were able to park right next to GZ, and soon the cache was found - not quite what I expected, but "innovative".

Log signed & replaced again. Found at am on 2nd March 2017. TFTC, ben....

Out for the day caching around Ormiston with Mr RoddyC & Selva Girls.
Onto the drive by portion of our caching journey today & we were able to park right beside GZ as rain has been very scarce the last few weeks. I had trouble opening the lid of the cache - obviously didn't eat my weetbix this morning! Log signed & cache replaced as found.
TFTC ben...

I was on a streak today finding many caching and adding lots of smileys on my map . I decided to add this one on their as well. I walked to GZ and had a quick search. After 10 minutes of searching i soon had the cache in hand . Thanks for the cache Ben . TFTC!!!

Out picking up some caches with Nurseyjulie. It would be drive-by caches today as that gave us lots of opportunity to sit in the cool aircon in the car between caches. I had been to this one before, but hadnt found it. There had been a couple of DNFs before me, so I put a needs maintenance log. Since then, there have been no DNFs, so I assume the cache was replaced. Today, as we were in the area, we decided to turn this green dot into a smiley. Last time I was here, My phone put me in one spot, but a PAF had told me to look elsewhere. Cache wasnt in either spot. Today, I started by looking where my PAF had told me the cache had been located, but Nurseyjulie spotted the cache in the spot I had first looked at last time. We added our names to the log and were soon back in the air conditioned car. TFTC

A very hot day today, so a day of drive by caching with Selva Girls. SG had visited this spot before. This time two sets of eyes helps too. As we searched possible spots from a previous finder, my GPS was insisting a couple of metres over and in there. So I looked straight up and straight at it wedged in. TFTC ben...

Found whilst out doing a spot of geocaching whilst geodaughter attends a course nearby. TFTC TNLNSL. All is well here.

Was about to give up on this one then finally spotter it! TFTC!

found it took a while but great cache

We think it may have been moved from original place. Book was slightly damp but could still write on it. Great one! TFTC

Quick easy find
Log is a bit full might need replacing soon

9/10/16 I have been here once before with no luck and have been watching the logs since. Today I had a few minutes spare and noticed it had been found recently, so decided to try my luck. I arrived with Marina25 ad we began the hunt, commenting the placed we had looked before. Nothing obvious was showing itself and we were beginning to worry we had a bad case of cache blindness. Suddenly Marina25 calls out, she has found it on the ground. We replaced it up where we believe it should be. Glad to have this one as a smiley at last. TFTC

Came here once before but wasn't lucky enough to find it but kept it on my radar, and came back today with 14NET, we searched high and low but to no avail then I looked down on the ground and there was something that looked familiar, signed our names and happily added another smiley to my map TFTC

Took a bit of time, in the end geodads perspective was needed.

Parked nearby and was just about to search when a vet nurse appeared with branches of gum leaves which she was taking back to feed a baby koala which had been parted from its mother near here.
It did not like the leaves from elsewhere so she had to get them from its home.
After she left the cache was a quick find.
Signed the log and returned to hide.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks ben... All good with this hide

Nice easy find

Finally found! It is in a very logical spot, really. Not far from gz at all according to my iphone

At last hooray!
Found 12.30 pm 05/09/17
Tftc :^)

Found up a tree about 10m from GZ. Replaced paper. TFTC

We were here earlier in the day, but had searched without luck. later, we bumped into a previous finder who told us where to look. We still had a bit of time, so we detoured on our way home. Despite being told where to look, we still could not locate the cache. Based on the information that I was given and the number of DNFs, I can only assume that the cache is missing

Have looked many times before for this one, didn't find it then and didn't find it today either.

This was crazy 30 mins with 5 ppl and not find

Easy find! Tftc!

Had to wait for GPS to catch up, thought I had to walk into the bush but that didn't sound like the right thing to do. Once I stood at GZ I looked everywhere and couldn't find it.

No luck today.
Thanks for the hunt.

Tried for this in Aug, 2014 didn't find it then and didn't find it today. Will keep trying. :^)

Another dat, another dnf on this cache must be blind

Hope they don't slash this track any time soon!

Couldn't find which is annoying. Even trekked in the bush a bit.

Found it but surprised at the location. Suggest the person who placed it come and check, seems very vulnerable but put it back as found.

Just needs the original contents for that fresh minty breath! visit by Joel & Scott

Checking on this while walking past. The container is at the GZ, though slightly differently than intended.
Happy hunting!

Way over grown. Been there before.

Been back multiple times. No luck here

Hmm...not sure where my GPS was telling me to go, but I'm not going there! Very overgrown so I don't think I was in the right place? Might try another day, thanks ben...

I really needed to get out of the house and Rick said we would just go grab some from the car, so we decided to grab some of the new ones around home.

The kids found it in no time! Great, thanks!!!

Easy find. Signed and returned. Tftc

No flooding today so nice easy find TFTF

Easier not to come from Jacob St. Thanks

Arrived in Brisbane yesterday, camping at the caravan park at Thorneside.
We targeted just a few caches, it gave us like a tiki tour of your beautiful area.
Thanks for placing this cache ben...

Woo! First geocache found . Nice little day off microadventure. Added my name and left where it was found. Cheers

Thanks for my first find in a long time.

First find of the day - not to hard. Thanks!

Smilie #2405

Set out to clear a few random coloured spots from our map & turn them into smilies.
'Close to home' needed a little clean up so off we went!

A nice quick find here IPS!

TFTC ben...

Found it lost my pen while hunting

Found it!

Found at last after a few visits when it seems to have gone missing. Now it is a Smiley. Was an easy find today. TFTC

This cache has now a new container & logsheet in play. They are within 4 m from the original hide to provide a slightly more covered location for them.

If the CO would like to log an 'Owner maintenance' entry, we'd get the NM flag cleared off from this cache.

Happy hunting!

While in the area, popped over to see how this one is doing.
I can confirm the container is missing from its good and nearby.

Give me a couple of weeks and I'll put a replacement in place. It's worth keeping older caches going instead of creating new ones so that people doing Jasmer challenge and similar have better changes completing them.

I think this cache needs attention. Could the CO pease check to see if it is still there. I have been several times and know other people have also been but not bothered to log a DNF.

It's not there anymore! Checked with previous geos who have found it....

Looked high and looooow to find this one, my third visit with no results.

Couldn't find it. GPS kept changing on us look high, looked low no where to be found.

Looked in the usual places but no luck.

No joy, was getting dark but really didn't have a clue

Searched all along the fence line, and mum even went bashing through the 1.8m tall grass, but the cache didn't show up i'll keep this one on my watch list for now

No sadly did not find this one! :^(

Tftc

Bingo!!!

Easy find ! Lowwww!

An easy find for one of our students who usually has no luck. Very exciting TFTC
