One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Couldn't find or work out this multi...
All seems to be gone...

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am 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 28 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.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Since the CO hasn't been online since 2013: could a cacher who has found this previously drop in a similar type of replacement micro where they found it? Otherwise this will need archival.

Calculated logical GZ which also matched photos and looked all over at location but couldn't find it - like last 2 logs think it needs checking on. The dog enjoyed the walk.

I'd read the previous log a while ago, but somehow after I'd read a lot of the other logs and some time had passed, my memory tricked me into thinking that jmax's log was just one of many others covering the missing WP1 (and not the cache itself).

So when I came here today, and found WP2 after a little walk around, I thought I had a chance to find this (and hopefully add another 8 months' credit to the unloved-o-meter). Calculated a GZ that made lots of sense and matched many of the gallery photos.

I spent ages at GZ and after being empty handed, texted and emailed a few friends. Then I re-read jmax's log. D'oh! Another one for the watch list, sigh. On to the Sydney 50 Day Streak cache next. TFTC.
} : )

I wanted to introduce some friends to geocaching today during a play day in the grounds. I have previously found this one myself and thought it would be a good introduction.
None of us could find WP1. I knew where WP2 was, so led them there and got the co-ords for GZ. At GZ there was nothing to be found where I had previously discovered the cache. All in all a bit disappointing for my newbie friends.
Might be worth a cache check as it hasn't been found since last year.

The second point is near the steps above the monument

Found it

Took a nice walk through Baulkham Hills and found this One on the way.

Thank you
Team sissifalke

Log's wet - needs replacement and maybe a plastic bag - Thanks

No waypoint 1 - but being local and knowing both the park and freemasonry very well, I was able to identify the building and its corner stone with the required information for the cache coordinates immediately knew where to look but it was already dark and freezing and the kids wanted to leave - this was a few months ago! Finally I had some time to spare and decided to put this one to bed! And wasn't long before I had CIH - did my signing duties TNLN - TFTC keep up the good work!

No luck with waypoint 1, so I started wandering through the estate to find the information that would lead me to GZ. I couldn't find anything and took a punt as to what the number would be and did the math. Ended up in a very likely spot and soon had CIH. TFTC.

Couldn't find wp1 looked at photos found and signed cache had to dodge a council worker with a blower
TFTC

Like all the others couldn't find WP1, but I was looking for another cache too " princess imprisoned", and found the information I needed on a building near her. Lovely walk through the avenue of trees to end up back where I started. How did I miss that before? TFTC

WP1 doesn't exist. Maybe the description needs changed, thanks.

Could not find, a lot of other recent logs had trouble as well

Apologies for the late log. We found this one late last Nov on a trip to Sydney. Got lost in the business of life!

Couldn't find WP1 but with the photos figured out where the cache was

Yea first multi dont think I call call it that only found one cache not sure which number...oh well off the a ariel the mermaid party sl

After an initial effort and not being able to find WP1, I read recent comments which helped me finally find GZ. Again I learn not to overthink things. Thanks FTC

This was our very first multi thanks for the great walk through this lovely place!

#308 (5 of 5 today)

Arrived at GZ, and started looking for the coordinates at the first waypoint. As has been noted by a few before me, there seems to be nothing there.
So, where could waypoint 2 be? If the cornerstone was laid by the Masonic Grand Master it has to be a major building - probably with the word "Masonic" on it in big letters. And it is.

So, with the coordinates of GZ in hand ( a spot I'd already perused on my wanderings) I went to collect the cache. Looked in the obvious spot. Saw nothing. Hmmm. Wandered around a bit, poked around a little. Mused a lot.

Went back to my first thought. It is there. Missed it the first time. Obviously effective camo.

SLTNLN
TFTC

So, with today's haul a traditional, a multi, a mystery, an earthcache & a letterbox I decided to try a different Whereigo. You can probably guess how that went. Grrr... [:(!]

Lovely little walk through an intriguing multi purpose area today.

Checked out WP1 for a minute, looked closely, no luck, and as per previous logs suggest, it has likely gone.

Wandered around looking at the buildings, hoping for WP2. Some great buildings and history here. Checked out a monument or two before almost accidentally finding WP2. Woohoo!

Wanted to go and check out something from earlier that looked interesting and planned to do GZ a bit afterwards. Checked out the interesting thing and then found that it indeed was GZ. Too easy!

Easy find and sign. Thanks for the cache.

With the knowledge that it had been found again this one was top of my priority list for today. I walked up and had it in no time flat. I swear I looked in that spot numerous time on multiple visits previously. However I was still a Newb at that time so maybe I overlooked the obvious. Glad to finally tick this one off the list.

Everlasting retrieved it quickly before skyejam & me arrive GZ [ ] signed the log, thanks for bringing us here.

A few years ago sevabo and I came here and couldn't find the cache until Everlasting worked it out at WP2 and she CIH quick and easy while sevabo and I were behind her and I said oh that's spot because we looked at the wrong area so it could be find if we worked it out right last time but now we found it! Than you for bringing us here and TFTH SL

After read the comment - so decided go to WP2 instead of WP1 - quick found the cache - no problem... Signed the log at 10.30am with skyejam and sevabo. Thanks feral five.

What's happening with this one?
Does it need archiving?

More frustration. Couldn't find WP1. Knew where to find WP2 due to familiarity with the area. Couldn't find the cache though. I notice it's been a while since this one was found, is it still intact?

WP1 needs to be replaced or updated, it's all worn out.

Found what WP1 is supposed to be on, but it's all faded, weathered and worn out and there is nothing written on it, so like others before, went ahead looking at various buildings in search for WP2, which was found soon enough. Puzzle was solved with geodaughter and we quickly had CIH, with geoson doing the retrieval. Hopefully cache owner will maintain WP1. SL TFTC.

Struggled briefly with this one then found WP2 on the way to GC2Q58R.

Found this one but did not sigh it because a nice spider family have decided that this cache is a nice home for them so may need to make a new one !

finally got this one off my list. TFTC. upset a garden spider who had set up home in the cache container!

I was dropping my nephew off for a game of touch footy and decided to see if there were any caches in the area. Not wanting to have to do a long walk I decided to look at all the WP clues and accidentally worked out GZ. Didn't do the multi but found the cache. SL #596 on cache streak day #103 TFTC

I must admit that, knowing the issue with WP1, I did not do this as a multi but went straight to GZ for a quick find. WP2 is not required to work out the final coordinates - which are fairly obvious - and, besides, I had already walked past WP2 last week in the quest for two nearby caches. SL TFTC

I visited this park for the first time last week in the search for a couple of other caches and was very impressed; the avenue of trees is beautiful. Thanks for bringing me back here. SL

Didn't quite get the wp1 clue. Looked at the previous log and wandered up the avenue of trees to find the right building and info. Geokids made a quick find at gz. Memories were relived as I spent many days as a kid riding around and through these old buildings. My First year of school, kindergarten, was in the first lot of buildings before a newer school was built further down the road. TFTC.

Nice multi!
After realising the status of WP1 it took us some time to find WP2, luckily the nature of WP2's description helped us find it and continue on with the multi.

TFTC SL

Found with mchylins on an incredible spring day.
After figuring out that WP1 was lost, we wandered around looking for WP2 (we didn't want to look for the cache before finding WP2, since it was a multi after all).
Our search, and ultimately our find of WP2 consisted of "Let's walk up the alley of trees. It's so beautiful!" and then "What's that building over there? It seems more impressive than the others" and there was the stone we were looking for. We got back to GZ and soon had CIH.

Very high muggle activity so watch out.

Thanks Feral Five for this slice of history and bringing us to this beautiful place.

Worked this one out a while ago but with the streak caches (days in a row, not naked caches) we thought we would leave this one as it was a nice and close one if we needed. Anyway this was a quick find today. TFTC!!!
YAY day 56!!!

Found it without the MIA WP1.

Cheers.

TFTC

Had trouble finding the clues. Eventually emurph01 and i found it.... TFTC

Some nice old buildings hereabouts and a pleasant place to wander around. Had no probs retrieving the cache.

Like previous logs, had this as a Traditional cache. SL TFTC

Previous logs helped enormously with this. Found quite easily. TFTC.

After reading previous logs, I didn't waste my time looking for WP1. Nice easy find at GZ. TFTC

No. 131

After reading the logs suggesting that WP1 was out of action, I did as others have and solved the puzzle before leaving home.

Took the family out for a walk, headed straight to GZ and made a quick find. It is a shame this one is no longer a multi.

Needs maintenance. No WP1 to be found.

Grabbed this one without requiring any WP help.

CO needs to look into this.



TFTC

Hehe found this while the husband was at work!!!!!!!!!!!! Way point one missing, didnt find way point two, but soon worked it out and grabbed cache. TFTC.

I tried to do this as a multi but had no success with WP1, so did it as a mystery instead. Fortunately the answer appears with minimal sleuthing. Found the hide and signed the replacement log. TFTC

Found this cache after process of elimination ,if you want to make this a real multi fix WP1,cheers.

Can you please fix WP1 it hasn't been found for a while,cheers.

Not sure if WP1 is there or not but it's such an easy puzzle I figured it out at home the day before.
Nice bit of history, great park. Thanks for taking me here.

I went looking for WP1 but like others before me I couldn't find it (I'm sure it has gone). But then I thought "if others can still work it out, so can I". And I did. TFTC

Couldn't find WP1, but while in the area, stumbled upon the clue which led us to the cache. Found with Trillian

When Minyakano said he had issues find WP1 I suggested and alternative method of find the cache which worked. Thanks for the cache, I love this area and the history of it.

After a good search around WP1 we came up with nothing, and decided to abandon all thoughts of finding this one. We had other reasons to be in the Balcombe Heights estate today anyway, so no effort really lost. Not long after we stumbled upon WP2 accidentally, got the info we needed and made a quick find at GZ. Still confused by the elusiveness of WP1, but happy to have found the cache in the end anyway. Thanks feral five.

Very cryptic WP1... WP2 was soon found and WP3 soon after. CIH easily at end. TFTC

Nice new log. This was a fav Simpsons episode, good use around this great area TFTC

Cache Hunt 505; GAFF3; Weather, Rainy; Helpers, None; Cache condition, Good; Find of the day, 2nd; STATUS; Found; GPS at GZ - 2m

This one has been a temperamental multi for about 2 DNF's. After seeing purplepeopleater's log, I though I would try brute force as well. He gave me a rough distance and I went back to have a go.

I went to the initial coords and in 20 sec, FINALLY found the first WP which I had though was missing. It's alive and still in place. This now lead me to WP2, an easy calculation and on to GZ. Once there found cache in record time. Awesome. Log was wet and I was unable to sign it. I took it to car to dry and clean the cache. Replaced with another log, SL and returned cache again.

I thought this was a nice little multi and the hint does help if you need it. TFTC.

# for today: 1, TOD: Morning, Conditions: Very heavy rain, Cache Condition: Very damp, Others: Nil, Notes - Nil

Decided I'd try to bludgeon my way to the finish line on this cache after once again failing to find WP1 this time in the daylight.

Cache was soon located in the first spot I looked.

All the logs are very full and very damp and requires maintenance/replacement.
Would love to know if WP1 still exists so I could return and complete the entire multi.

SL TFTC

Thought I would try to find WP1 to get started on this cache, and come back later. Alas no luck with finding WP1.
It would be good to get confirmation that WP1 still exists after the recent DNF's.
Would love to complete this cach as I grew up next to the Masonic Halls and have a family history with the organisation.

This cache was quite difficult. Took us a really long time. We accidentally found the cache with out finding waypoint 1

I looked, I scoured, I torched, I moved, I keeled, I jumped, I climbed.....But even with hint for wp1, I could not find it, so could not continue the search. Back next time!

Great walk around this park and the kids were happy they were able to get the scooters out
Managed to pick up another harroandchook cache one in the middle of this multi also
TFTC

Sadly couldn't find WP1 =( Going to have to come back and try this one another day.

A neat little multi with a little surprise at the end !
Thanks for the cache, feral five !

Signed Log, TFTC

Nice day for a walk around the old buildings and this kept us busy for about 40 minutes. Thanks feral five

Did this cache while killing time after dropping off geodaughter to drama lessons, Found this multi easy, Thanks for bringing me here feral. TFTC
Cheers

Last GC for the day and our first multi cache.
Our first time Geocacher found the second waypoint and the cache, even with a smelly dead fish right on GZ (no joke).
Hope to do some more multi's soon. TFTC.

Nice bit of history and some really interesting buildings. Nice and simple multi. First bit of Southing coordinates missing from WP1, although it really doesn’t matter. TFTC

Fun little adventure this one turned out to be, even in the rain!
Thanks feral five!

Alot of fun in the rain TFTH!!!
Warning Police patrol @ night and didn't like the Geo-Cache demo

My first multicache. It took a little bit of time but was fun. TFTH SL

Thanks feral five. My first cache. Must be said photos left by ealier visitors were very good clues, as I found it without a gps. Still - a find is a find !

Found it - a good device for a cache. A picturesque site - worthy of a few photos but no spoilers.

Thanks

It was a great idea to set up a geocache featuring this property, its history, and the Freemasons. To be honest, I didn't know the place existed, despite my several decades in the area.

I found GZ easily and enjoyed looking around on a mild and sunny winter's day, during my lunch hour. In reality, WP1 and WP2 aren't needed to calculate the GZ coordinates, but it was fun to see the WP1 hide anyhow -- a device a la Calypso62!

Cache and two log sheets were in reasonable shape, all dried out now. (We are currently using Yurt's 'new' contributed log sheet.) However, this container will never be completely weather-resistant.

Thanks very much to the feral five for this one!

I found the first one and I didn't know it was a multiple

2/3 of 'The Squints' (bifocal and spectacle) had a lot of fun with this multi. Needed the hint for WP1 but after that it was plain sailing. We never know this place existed or its history and we drive past it everyday!!

This was a nice easy multi with a pleasant little walk and some interesting buildings to look at on a Saturday afternoon. Thanks

An enjoyable and easy little multi. The final location was interesting! Can't understand why lots of people don't want to try multi's. TFTC

Found it! great hide, I loved it. Kicked the soccer ball on the grounds had a great time. TFTC!!!

Thanks for putting a cache here. I spent a couple of terms here in high school when one of our school buildings was burned down. The grounds and gardens were more extensive then, but the place still has a good feel to it. This time I was here to build and fire a kiln in one weekend. That went well, then I found the cache as well - bonus! TFTC

A lovely Sunday afternoon and the occasion was our 300th GC cache. Having just found 'Breathless' we headed here. Made a quick find of WPT1 - a novel way of doing that I must say! Then for a bit of a walk for the info from WPT2 - coming from a family of Masons (no I'm not one) it was interesting to see how much they'd done around here. I also wondered if Balcombe and Baulkham had the same origins. Another walk to GZ and soon had the cache in hand. As everyone has noted it's wet so I folded up a small sheet of paper and included that as a short term replacement log. The owner may not be looking after this any more. Another interesting spot and good to have a bit of work for our 300th find! Thanks!

Found 16:05 my geo-wife knew this area well as she grew up near here. A wedding party went by in a lovely horse and carriage. Soon found WP-1 and then off to WP-2 easily found and then back to GZ and the cache. Unfortunately the log was too damp to write on so left a sticker. Thanks for the history lesson regarding these old buildings.

Could'nt find WP1, and were attracting too much attention with our torches at night.

Great fun for our very first cache. Thanks very much.

Was a great walk around an area I used to gymnastics.

(My kids were and anyone who knows me would be laughing now!?!)

#191
Last one for the day & being dark, torches were needed. Driven past area many times but didn't know what was there. Quite enjoyed this multi but care was needed at WP1 to avoid attention of motorists on adjacent when using torches & at WP2 due to a party. Finally found GZ & the cache after a bit of searching. Again, carefull using torches if after dark. Take some time to view the area around the cache. TNLNSL TFTC

PS to owner - Log was damp & NEEDS to be replaced.

#164
Enjoyed the nice spot at the end of this cache. Took a few pictures but dont want to put them here as they may give a clue away.
Had to keep hidden from muggles having a party at WP2.
The log was quite damp and probably needs replacing urgently.

Found while out for a walk with my geomum (her first find). Went past WP2 first because I had a feeling I knew where it was without using coordinates. Had a quick look for WP1 anyway but didn't find it (read the clue once I got home - would have helped!). Found GZ without any trouble. SL TFTC

Wow. That was fun. Cleverly hidden.
Was good sleuthing weather - cool, with a fine misty rain.
SL TFTH TNLN. The log is a bit damp, and will need replacing soon.

Very nice place, full of history and meaning for the area. Unfortunately GZ is easily recognisable due to vandalism, but none the less a very nice cache. Log is overfilled and damp but still SL. TFTC
