There is now a large curtain jammed tightly behind the right side second upright beam, so even if the cache is there, it is likely to be unattainable. Plus the curtain might have knocked the cache out. Unless owner checks and moves, or replaces the cache, it is finished.
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.

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.

I couldn't find it. Another geocaching friend of mine that had found it along time ago came with me the second time. But it wasn't there.
Awesome spot for it though. Hopefully it will be there soon

Needs to be replaced, looked in all of the uprights just in case but had no success.
I came looking for this about a year ago and could not find it then. We had no luck today eventhough we had 3 pairs of eyes looking!
I spent ages on this one without muggles and I swear I located where it should be? Can someone please check if it's still there?
How long does a cigarette take! Finally got a chance to grab this, then putting it back was just as hard! Great cache though, TFTC

Autumn leaves, clear blue sky, beautiful day and I finally found this one. Needed the hint but, I think GZ is out a little. TFTC!
Easy to grab even all the muggles were around thiy morning. You just have to be "invisible"
I was in Civic for a course and arrived before the shops opened, so the muggle factor wasn't to bad. I still had to wait for a bus load of people to disembark, smokers to finish their addiction, someone to lock up her bike and a homeless guy go through a bin before I made my grab. I had to wait for most of them to go again before I returned the cache. I also threw in a fake "tie my shoelace" for good measure too. SL TFTC
As we were walking by yesterday the geokids mentioned that we had not logged this one last year. So we checked if it was in the same spot. It is so logging a little belatedly. Great hide . TFTC
A lazy day for shoppers being Good Friday, a perfect day for this one! Could it be there...yes! Quick find for us today. I could see how difficult this one could get. Thanks
Searched a while on the wrong side but then I could make it after shopping hour.
Thank you for the cache and greetings from Germany

Thanks for the cache. Cool cache. Geomum found it pretty easily tonight. Caching with McLookers.
Arriving in Canberra this afternoon, this was our first find after dinner. There were no muggles in sight and using the hint, we made the find quickly. Thanks for the hide. Caching tonight with Tomstache.
Had to be sneaky with so many muggles around, but still doable. Log is getting a bit tattered though. TFTC!
[green]Third day of our Australia-Vacation!
The Goal of this day were the Caches of Canberra!
This was one of These canberrian Caches!
Thanks for this cache!

Just arrived in town today, set up in the caravan park, now its time to find a few caches.
Had to do a little bit of shopping so came here. City caching is difficult to get GPS coverage so lucky there was a good hint to help.
Thanks for placing this tricky cache wink. inc

Just came back to put in a geocoin, it was such a fun cache that I thought I had better
Had look like nothing was happening wile I was franticly looking for the cache, sad to say I had to look at the clue, and even then I was having difficulty. But I found it eventually, TFTC
After a long hard paddle at the lake, we walked to the mall for refreshments and decided to grab some caches along the way. GPS kept messing with us for this one, but found it nonetheless. Had to be extra sneaky and casual about it, with all the muggles around. TFTC!
Thanks winc. inc. I was in the area for an update on my computer and saw that there was your cache very near where I was going. In spite of juggles everywhere, it is an easy extraction, sign in and replacement without prying eyes.
decided to look for this cache on the way to see the Hobbit with darzee di. great location and luckily it was very muggle free at this time of night tftc wink.inc
Went with ACTchil to grab a couple of caches while we waited for the Hobbit to start at Dendy so grabbed this one, we had to be stealthy at the Vinnies truck and muggles were around. tftc
Found on an 'in-between the public holidays' trip to see the maps at the library. TFTC
Arrived just on closing time after having dinner at Gus' just down the road.
Coast was clear and it was a nice quick find. Replaced and quickly on our way.

Found with CacheHunter83. We started with a scout around for the cache, then returned around 5 minuites later to make the grab and sign the log when the crowds had died down a bit.

Not that many muggles as the shops were shut but it still took us a while to find it!
Early morning walk was the trick here [^]
The area was practically muggle free!
Cheers & TFTH

Monday 7 October 2013 - another glorious spring day, sunny and warm morning. Quick and easy find after shopping close by and using the hint. TFTC.
A very busy place to put a cache but I think its reflected in the D. Fortunately I had my new caching side-kick with me and between us we looked pretty much like the muggle crowd so exploring wasn't too much of a problem today.
Container and contents all in good order

Geocache #713.
Found on Wednesday, 11th September 2013 at 12:41 PM.
Conditions: sunny.
Current streak #42 days.
Today's finds 9 of 29.
My 612th find for The Great Scouts Australia Geocaching Competition 2013. With just over a week of the competition remaining, I had some leave owing and decided to take it for a geo-adventure in the Australian Capital Territory and Canberra. What a way to celebrate Canberra's centenary, as well as the Federal election!
On day four of my trip, I wanted to head into the CBD to tackle some of the city caches before meeting goughy2012 who was travelling down from Sydney to join me for a couple of days. Goughy2012 arrived and we attempted our first joint ACT cache. Once at GZ, it was a quick find and we soon had the CIH and signed the log. The co-ordinates were pointing to the wrong side for us but the hint helped. TFTC wink. inc.

It probably took us a bit longer than it should have, however we needed a cache for August 5th, and this was close by. Found on the way to the airport this morning. Thanks wink. ink for this inner city hide

Found on a lunchtime walk. It was fun trying to look incomspicuous with all the muggles about. TFTC.
Found today with GrimRaider while shopping in town. We thought this would be a quick grab to start our month of caching but it took longer then we thought. Lots of muggles around and we weren't sure which pole to check. TFTC nice little hide
Here we come 31 days of caching! KittyKatch wasn't too sure about the local but I set my mind on riding up to the occasion. I had to mark time for a bit whilst I marched on the clue! Lucky I didn't have to ride to too lofty a hight before the penny dropped [:-)]. Nice on wink. inc
Cheers,
GrimRaider!

Found during a day of caching with Marzie_ after a Symposium in Canberra. Muggle-deception techniques were deployed in the retrieval, dutch curry actually as I strove to impress the apprentice. Thanks for the cache wink. inc!
Last day in Canberra spent caching with Featherwaite.
He had to show me how stealthing was to be done with lots of muggles around.

Had fun trying to be subtle looking for and retrieving cache. Luckly not to busy at this time, so had a break in muggle traffic to properly look, then I found it. Tftc.
This was the third and final find while spending the day in the area. My friend and I arrived at GZ while there was a break in the traffic and we knew what we had to do. We retrieved the cache ok, the logbook was a little hard to remove but replacing it brought much amusement to a few muggles! I even banged my head on the window! TFTC wink.inc!
Had some business in town today so we swung by and made a quick find. TFTC
We were heading in here to buy lunch on our way to a walk around the lake. I didn't have the GPS turned on, but the excellent hint was enough TFTC, wink.inc!
Found with paulyman while visiting Canberra this weekend. Eventually spotted it from the escalator. TFTC.
2013-06-13 0036 No muggles about this time. Two previous recce visits revealed that finding a muggle-free time was going to be interesting. Used geo-tactile sensor to locate the cache. Needed the hint big time. Thanks wink. inc!
TFTC I was fortunate to be able to scrape this one in while waiting to be picked up after Miss Chick and I gorged ourselves silly at Pancake Parlour. Did this in late April/early May.
Waiting for someone to get their iPad fixed I thought "I wonder if there's a cache around here?" A quick check and 57 metres later and there it was! I love caches that are just quietly there minding their own business while thousands if people walk past. Thanks
thanks for Shoobees on the tip for how to find, not too hard to find but very hard to avoid muggles, tftc
About my 4th time back..came during lunch hour previously..too busy..but after dark a quick find! Plenty of cobwebs to deal with..
A really tough one. Went back a few times. Only to find the cache at night, right at shoelace level when no mugglers were present. TFTC
Found on a lovely afternoon of caching with Bronnie1990 - she ran interference on this one for me.
