As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it 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 (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

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. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every month or so to keep everyone up to date.

I think this one needs some attention... Fontaynes hasnt been active since 2009 & alot of DNF's... With no maintance.
Its a shame because this is a good spot for a cache.

Looked under, over, left, right and every other direction possible and still we could not find it. The only positive outcome is that we got drenched like rats and the canal being full of water didn't make us any dryer.

DNF I think the cache is missing please check

Not able to find had a really good look may have been muggled found a handmade pipe with tape that was empty

Couldn't find

sorry we found this one a year ago, but forgot to log, re visited today and confirmed, tftc

11/12/12 1:39 PM. Disappointed to have a DNF here after the long walk from "Wintergreen". Looked in all the troll spots, especially at the end where my GPSr was indicating 0m.

Had a good look around, but unsuccessful.

Looked all around the pretty straight forward location, nothing to be found. Thanks anyway.

Looked all over and not a trace.

A bit of a dissapointment for my first time. Looked high and low but DNF

Spot seems clear from the hint, but unfortunately no luck today

Stopped by here this arvo, looked for a while, but unfortunately a DNF

Will come back, next time NOT on peak hour!

Quick grab after a party in the area. Very easy find. TFTC

Walked over from Howdy Doody. Snuck around a road crew setting up near the entryway. Mr Gaztek got to be the jumper-downer today and he soon spotted the cache. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

A quick Park and Cache on the Way home from work.

Dropping a campervan off in the area, so decided to looki for a couple of geocaches before catching the train back. Found this easily enough. TFTC

Quick and easy find on a Sunday arvo! TFTC!

Quick find with geo kid on a Sunday arvo. SL TFTC.

A nice quick find with geohubby (SESBLOCKER). TFTC

Found with "The Neighbs". Nice easy find. TFTC

Nice and easy

I went for an evening walk while staying not too far away. The area was muggle free so I had no problems with the search or the find. Bonus was finding a trackable that wasn't logged into the cache. I'll try to sort that out as soon as I can. TFTC, Biggles.

Yuhu, dead end but good end )
Only the spyder are uh :-O

Well I did not expect to find any caches in this dreary land of warehouses and car dealerships! I only checked on the off chance yet there you are, and so close to work, too.

Thanks for livening up one lunch break for me.

PS. Not sure why it's flagged as needing maintenance. Other than the scrappy bit of paper it's still very much alive and well.

Thanks.. one more this day (11) J-LEST-TEAM

TFTC! A very nice little oasis nestled between some massive big box retail structures.

This was our highlight cache for the weekend.
We enjoyed the puzzle of trying to find access to GZ and then the walk along the cannel down to howdy doody.
It was raining as we went adding to the atmosphere and the creek was flowing well.
Just enough foot room to make a find.

Somewhere I have a map that shows this location as a creek rather than canal. If I can locate it I will post a segment.

TFTC

Found quickly by going to the end if the carpark TFTC

Quick find. TFTC.

Quick find. TFTC!

Easy find. I see mr. Harvey has made life difficult by fencing off this little park though.

A quick find. Greetings from Germany.

Nice location. Found nice and quickly on my way North from the airport.

Troll found

TFTC

Came this way for a stroll while out visiting nearby and in sydney for the night.I like the troll outlook thanks.Had to use back gate to reach GZ.

Nice quiet spot in an otherwise pretty busy area. Needs a new log as the current one is pretty full. TFTC

It was so close when I parked the car outside the motor bike dealer. How do I get there. My first attempt was I found a path that extended to O'Riordan St and stopped. Ran across the road an resumed the search.

It's just there but walked to the end of the car park to find an access point. Nice easy find once you got on the that pathway.

Took the short cut back to the car along the drain for a bit of fun which saved crossing O'Riordan St.

found on our caching day out...nice hide tftc

nice quick find on this nice warm day tftc

thank you for a qick one

Did this one late at night. Very lonely place. Nice place for a cache, lots of spiders and mozies out. TFTC.

Came past this cache in an effort to walk off breakfast which was delicious. (Sonoma Bakery Cafe). Didn't have a pen with us so couldn't sign log. Hope it still counts. TFTC.

Tftc.

TFTC, Nice location. Visited with a group of trackables. TNLN.

Found in almost the first place I looked.. a quiet little alcove here and great to see some native flora.. Thanks Fontaynes for bringing me to this little hidden gem.. find #1623

Luckily found a parking spot on the busy street right next to the only-slightly ajar open gate (which I wouldn’t have noticed if I’d tackled the shopping complex carpark). GPS out about 8m (probably due to low battery signal) but after finding nothing in the obvious spots, tried from a different angle for confirmation of GZ. Took Aussie Flag geocoin as small enough for the multitude of micros I seem to doing lately.

A cool little cache with very few muggles about!

Left AUS geocoin

Quick interesting find. Being from the west, I haven't done any caches in Sydney itself. Thought I would snatch this one as I had time, waiting for family to fly in. TFTC

Quick cache, nice location and the container! TFTC TNLN

Found this micro pretty quickly. The hint made it so.

TFTC.

Had to use the 'alternative' entry as suggested. Thanks for that.
In: 'sapphire' gemstone
Out: nothing
TFTC

TFTC no muggles around on a Saturday afternoon, gate was open.

Nice easy find in the dark. I would recommend, don't park in Domayne as when I was coming back to my car the security guy flipped out a bit wanting to know what I was doing and why I was there. Probably a good daytime cache when there is no security around. TFTC. Good drive by.

Reperio at 2115. Stopped by here just after closing time, but still managed to get to GZ and locate the cache...just as the rain came down.

Gratias.

Found it on my way home from work nice easy one - log is getting full tftc

I did not think that this would quite need the level of gymnastics I had to resort to, but there you go.
My first ever Sydney find
Thanks for the cache

Found with Bedmaker at night so it was nice and quiet.
TFTC

Found with TassieGirl while on holidays in the area.
We'd just been across the road at the filming of Top Gear Aust.
After the show we went for a little walk to see all the flash cars for sale and grabbed this one.
Found it no worries, it's a nice little spot in here.
TFTC.

Nicely hidden. Thanks for the hunt. Tnln

Nice wee spot this

I was trolling around early in the morning and came upon this cache. Love it. Left calling card. TFTC.

I am staying in Mascot for the week for work, and couldn’t resist grabbing a couple of caches not to far away from my motel. Opened the gate from the main road and headed towards GZ. The GPS was a bit jumpy but looked in the obvious place and came up with the goods. Nice to see that the water from yesterday’s deluge had gone away! Nice one Fontaynes – Thanks from Kyogle NSW

w8in' for son to arrive at airport. May as well fill in time.
Thanks Acko and Ute Dog

My favourite find today. Hubby now calls me his dirty little troll hehehe...tftgc!

TFTC. The clue is a dead give-away!

found it with my mum and sister on our way to the shops

Took my geo-mother and sister for their first cache, had a blast!

A quick stop and a quick find on my way home. It was quit at domaayne today so I could park only meters from GZ!

No troll but found the cache. Tftc.

Sadly, after dropping Savoy Truffle at the airport to go home to Germany, The Arkaroo is caching alone again. Thought, I must seek for travel bugs, as I ran out of them and just to keep them moving with my upcoming travel. So, the Domayn is the one to go! Probably drove though that main road each second time I go to the city and may have stopped here or there, but I never expected a tiny public park with a channel and good bush. Almost a relaxing place in this so busy area! I drove straight away into the car park, not knowing ahead that there is Domayn. Saturday was not that busy, so easily a slot just opposite the cache. Quickly realized, it's better to walk around rather than to climb down and attract my attention of the people here and there. Hesitated with that closed gate, however, it was not locked and the trace on the floor indicates that it is altered quite frequently. Good - had a nice little park all for me alone! GPS was pointing into the painted brick wall opposite and needed to find the hint, however, by that time, the GPS settled already to the right position and it was an easy find. Bit tired, and thirsty, The Arkaroo retreated into a shady place underneath the bridge to unpack and perform all the transactions!

While unpacking, I spotted that flattened micro-pencil and thought 'oh, the cacher made a really micro writing device', before I discovered it was actually a geocoin! Good idea - I like that one!

Took my time, some photos and just relaxed a bit more in the shade - comfortably leaned against the wall of the channel. One even can hear birds singing here. All these native austalian plants they put in the park is looking very nice!

Unpacked my Travel Bugs and visited them at this magic spot:
* Crailling (TB1BCAK)
* Celtic Treasure (TB3G1HV)

And retrieved the Geo Coin:
* Bring Your Own Pencil (TB3H8HP)

I logged a DNF on this in May last year. Now, almost nine months later, I've finally had another go. This time I took a proper look! TFTC

nice hide TFTC

Clever hint! : )

TFTC

Very Clever Cache! Since it's New Years Day there was 0 Muggle activity but the gate at GZ was closed (not locked).
I didn't know if I was allowed to go in but after 5min of chickening out I just opened the gate enough so I could get in with my bike.
The cache was an easy find but heaps fun. The hint makes it extremely obvious! TFTC

Find # 1594 @ 08:55
At first it looked like it was private property with the gate closed (but not locked) but then I spotted the likely hide. A short walk and I soon had the cache in hand. Thanks Fontaynes!

Grabbed this one on the way to the airport. I was a bit tight for time, but took the opportunity anyway. Nice easy find. No muggles in sight late on a Sunday afternoon.

i love the closed fenced thing

Great way to spend an hour or 2 waiting for the car to be serviced ..... accessed GZ the hard way through the car park and the back gate ..... a bit of acrobatics and the cache quickly in hand. Great little spot, and strolled out the easy way!!!

TFTC ..... TNLN ..... SL

needed to stop and cache on the way home today and this was on the way.
A nice easy find this time, thanks.

Alles gut, danke euch!

Not many shoppers about early so grabbed a good car spot.Quick find and enjoyed the secluded walkway.Thanks to the Fontaynes.

Too good a day to catch the train from the airport station, so walked to Green Square instead. Found this one in a neat little park on the way. Thanks.

great TFTC

Found easy on a muggle free night TFTC!

Was enjoying the luxury of a bank holiday today, albeit tempered by having to trek over this way to re-collect a duff laptop. Still: "when in Rome", I thought, noticing there was one nearby cache that was now back on-line, so I decided to detour on the way home to find it!

Getting close to GZ was a pain, as there's no on-street parking nearby during business hours. So, I found the car park entrance to the cache's namesake, parked, and headed for the 'secret' gate in the bushes at the far end of the car park (as the street gates were locked). Fortunately I didn't have to get my feet wet(!), and signed the log in the 'troll' position before replacing the hide.

TFTC Fontaynes! TNLNSL.

found with muggle friend in tow and a Quarterpipe on crutches - Semikosher got to GZ first and I made a quick retrieve.

Nice to see this one back online again. Cleaning up having missed this when it was muggled a few months back

Rated: for Overall Experience

Hehe was about 7:00pm as we were walking down the street and took a right at the park.
A muggle sercurity gaurd came out and asked us what we where doing.
We did our best to explane and eventually he agreed to let us jump down to the bridge
good coordinants and easy find

Beautiful night gfor a walk from out 1.2km away motel.
Met a friendly muggle security gaurd at the Domain.
An easy find with the hint.
