As there has been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it has been a number of months since the last owner note 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 (next 28 days), just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it 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.

Will check on it in the next week or so.
 
17-Mar-13
Ill get this one checked on. The last 5 times I had to disable the cache and check on it, the cache was still in place.
 
10-Feb-13
Had a bit of a look but my brother is with me and he played cricket here and the side garden has been removed. I don't know if it would affect the cache position. Tfth
 
08-Feb-13
I pulled up here knowing I couldn't find this one last time and noticed the additional DNF's since my visit so didn't even get out to take another look.
My guess is this one has gone missing Sad
 
05-Jan-13
This has not been found in a while... add us to the list...
 
05-Jan-13
Had a fair idea what I was looking for but after a 10 minute search azazzlenic and I gave up to move on to other caches for the day.
 
05-Jan-13
Yeah, Like the rest of the cachers, I think I knew what to look for, but I'm doubting it was there.
 
10-Nov-12
After success nearby we arrived with hope. Unfortunately we left in despair. We scratched, poked, raked, picked up, turned over, picked up again, scratched once more - all to no avail. Read logs in detail. Found where the bike lock once was. Measured distance between trees, scratched some oire but still nothing. A bit of solace in the fact that we're not the first to leave here scratching our heads. Will go home and scratch some more and come back another day! Cheers... Gaztek

Our 5612nd overall find.

This one had previously eluded me but today with FF we made a fairly quick find.

Thanks AussieCacher for the cache.
 
03-Jan-12
Found during a run around the area with Big Matt and Shell.

I had previously visited this park but someone was practicing right next to the cache GZ.

Today things were a little easier and we soon revealed the container.

Thanks AussieCacher for the cache.

I logged a DNF in Feb this year so was glad to finally get this off my DNF list. I had an idea what we were looking for and there it was! Big Grin thanks.
 
26-Dec-11
Found this one very quickly!!! The log was a little damp due to all the rain!!! Otherwise still in good nick!!!!

Having just collected an Earthcache & another we headed back to the cars then realised the next 2 caches where also well within walking distance so off we trouped...

Arriving at GZ GhostGums soon had cache in hand for a nice easy find...

Thanks Aussie Cacher...

We had jumped back into the Geomobiles and started engines when we realised that access to the next two caches was from where we were parked... So, out we got again and took to the paths... Surprised

At GZ, the GPS was spot on and Ghostgums had the container in hand within a few seconds... A quick log sign and it was tucked away. I tried to make it sit better in it's lair as it appeared to be a little proud but, it wasn't having any of my games and stayed as it was... Twisted

Cheers AussieCacher.

Found in the company of the MCBC - 2 of us from Vic, and 6 from Qld - on a weekend raid of Sydney caches.

This was a reasonably quick find- much quicker than what I thought it would be! We spotted it as soon as we arrived at GZ! Nice hide!

I've seen a very similar cache and I thought that the CO chose a very good name:) TFTC TNLN

Found from afar, the area was quite devoid of leaf litter and the such around the cache, so tried to fix that a bit to help it blend. thanks for the cache

31-Aug-11
As I wondered over the GZ I was a little perplexed with the clue. I spotted the culprit and wondered around a bit more just to check my suspicions before pouncing.
container needs a little bit of looking at as it was sitting out a bit more than should be, tried to fix but may require a more thorough fix.
 
18-Aug-11
TFTC, SL, great hide, cheers:)
 
16-Aug-11
I plodded over from the nearby cache and tackled this one next. As I neared GZ, I saw a likely candidate and sure enough it was. It was in great condition (surprisinly for this type of hide!). Good job - TFTC AussieCacher Smile
 
14-Aug-11
Have this this type of cache before so this was an easy one - but still a treat Smile
Thanks
 
14-Aug-11
Chook and I were joined once again by Christine Vista and headed out to the Rouse Hill area for some serious caching. After finding "How do I open this thing?" we walked to the next cache and found it extremely quickly having hidden the exact same thing ourselves.
 
12-Aug-11
Good one. Nice and quick. tftc
 
08-Jul-11
Nearby muggle walking two dogs around oval – one kept up with him but second chubbier one was always a lap behind especially as he chose to stop and bark at me. At least managed to time my find while owner over the far side of the oval. On first approach at GZ noticed a suspicious and likely object however additional hint had me looking at the area again from a different angle and the correct location was quickly spotted nearby.

quite easy find for a clever cache TFTC

Easy find today. I think someone must have been around recently or the rain washed a lot of material away.

TFTC.

Scrambling amongst the leaf litter didnt help me with this one. one bit Smile. Oh well was not my day
 
13-Mar-11
We were here around a year ago and the cache was well buried. Despite our long search we discovered nothing. This time Chip spotted it from meters away and it was a nice and quick find!

Cheers

2nd time lucky. Hoojar and I walked straight up to the cache, which was a good thing as the weather wasn't doing anyone any favours.
Found with Hoojar and Ding.
Cheers.

Have been here twice before, I have done many of this type of cache, but, it must have been well covered the last 2 times, found it within a minute today. My 2900th I think.

Cheers

Bo these garden hides here will be coming home to Port Macquarie to tease my home town cachers. can't wait.

Log Changed. Cache on.
 
06-Mar-11
After a VERY long search at the neaby Camo cache, we walked across to this one, TLM picked up the cache and we signed it. Sometimes you just hit the spot!
 
06-Mar-11
After our soul destroying efforts on "Where's The Camo' and warnings from Alfyboy this was heaven.

The four of us walked across the oval and I was watching the GPS needle intently. As we got close to GZ I followed the needle and walked straight to it.

While the others were checking hints I told them it looks a bit like this.

Some caches just fall into place others are....
 
06-Mar-11
After walkin from previous cache to this one started searching but Team Lego Man already had it in hand. Great hide. TFTC

Attempt one of the day with 8 ...YES EIGHT... people = NOTHING >_>
Then Steveishere calls Alfyboy later on (by which stage we'd moved to another cache), to let us know that he found it!!! O_O Cue Alfyboy, Morgans2320 and myself dashing off to our cars to drive back to the oval. Steve had re-hid the cache after his son found it, but gave us enough hints to be able to uncover it!! All I can say is I never want to see a cache hidden in a bark-chip garden ever, ever again thanks very much!!!! I -did- like the camo style, but perhaps in a location with fewer bark-chips! ;p TFTC
 
27-Feb-11
Tried this just on dusk with GeoWife. I thought I knew what I was looking for but we were stumped and moved on to something close by.
We will be back
 
27-Feb-11
Even with a group of us we were still unable to locate it. Now I see that it is there and some of the original eyes from today were finally rewarded. Maybe next time I might be lucky, one can only hope to cross this sneaky one of the list.

Cache Hunt 280; GAFF1; Weather, Overcast/rainy; Helpers, Morgans2320, Superslothsonja,Stevishere,MattKwashere; Cache condition, Good. Find of the day, 3rd - STATUS - Found.
Were came here with a group of 8, during the Hills event, very confident that it would be found today. Morgans2320, Superslothsonja, Richary, jkcourtz. We moved, scrapped, even got the gloves out to move bark, walk over everything and search some more. Nothing, could not find this bugger. We had moved on, and then speaking with Steveishere, he went to check on cache and said it's still there, so Morgans, SSS and I raced back, seeing SIH and MIH, standing about rather suspiciously. A little hot/cold was given, but not much, before Morgans2320, Mr, got back on his hands and knees to clear another area. BAM, there it was, so simple, yet so hard at the same time. We marveled that the camo and creation of this cache and SL. I returned it as we found it, hard to find, and moved on to another close cache for Morgans2320 to find. Great cache AC, TFTC.
 
27-Feb-11
We did this after the HILLS EVENT, first with an experienced crew and later with a few local cachers. On the first try there was a general agreement that the cache was gone. We all had a girl and boy look but failed to find the cache. We knew what we were looking for but couldn't find it at GZ. While caching in the area with alfyboy and superslothsonia we were tipped off by steveishere that the cache was still in place. We all headed back and a quick search soon proved successful. Great hide. Have seem a few of these but none so well camouflaged. Thanks to all. SL TFTC
 
05-Feb-11
We found this one fairly quickly thanks to the notes in the previous logs, very clever indeed.

TFTC AussieCacher Smile
 
23-Jan-11
4th time visiting this evil cache and Estreich Dad finally uncovered it after Estreich Mum must have almost stuck a stick in it claiming "It's got to be right here" she must have been standing on it Red Face
From reading previous logs we had a good idea of what we were looking for and we just had to forage for it, be prepared for some head scratching and maybe a rake might be a good addition to your caching kit for this one Smile
 
15-Jan-11
I drag Sevabo and Skyejam, they help to search for me but no luck.... could dkmacca let us know if the coordinate is the same spot or else? Thanks.
 
08-Jan-11
Hey Aussie, Its still there! No need to check on the cache. Having a look at the previous found logs, I had a bit of a better idea of where and what to look for. Nice hide. TFTC aussie, just need to now solve the Ned Kelly cache, I've done the game just need to find the cache.
Cheers

05-Jan-11
Searched everywhere for this little bugger and no luck, will have another go tomorrow as we drive past this cache on the way to swimming lessons for Geoson.
Cheers

04-Jan-11
I thought with 4 pairs of eyes, we might just come across this one. We pretty much re-mulched gz and 5 metres around, but could not locate anything 'planted' here. Either very well hidden (hope not buried), or grounds keeper Willie has taken it Wink
 
31-Dec-10
This cache has been checked multiple times in the past each time has been there. I will check on it in the near future. If someone finds it that will save me a trip. It's not an easy cache there are more DNFs than finds.
 
30-Dec-10
Tried for this one as it was nice and close to 'How do I open this' but as I read the logs I realised that It may not be there. Searched for 10 min everything in and around the trees and scrubs, but nothing came up. May need a CO check (or alternative rags Wink
 
30-Dec-10
7 DNF's in row. Needs to be checked if it's still there.
 
12-Nov-10
This one needs to be checked on
 
06-Nov-10
Third of AussieCacher's for the day and we were prepared for a good hunt after finding the other in this park. Left empty handed, have now read all the previous logs and feel better prepared for the next attempt [8)]
 
11-Oct-10
wo is me... another visit, another DNF... i hope all the recent rain hasn't buried this one in the mud.. had a decent look, albeight at night, but still couldn't track it down... not even team_extremepc was able to surface this one! Sad i'll be back.
 
04-Oct-10
Out with Elmo, after we had not found Where's the Camo Cache, we walked over to have a go at this one. We couldn't find this one either, but we had sort of had enough of searching for the nanos. We left and since it was towards the end of our caching day, we called it quits on this one. I will be back to find this one later.
 
04-Oct-10
Sad Aye carrumba !!!! ..... can someone put a garden gnome out there with finger pointing in general direction where the landscaping needs replacing (might bring Don Burke along next time).
 
04-Oct-10
Even with an extra specific clue, dad and i have still failed to uncover this cache!!! XD we spent ages sweeping aside the barkchips around all the bushes and trees (see pics), but still no luck =( CITO'd a few random bits of trash (some broken glass, cigarette butts etc lol) and swept back the bark. Starting to feel as if i need to go back to uni to take some archeology classes to be able to find this cache!!! Razz
 
12-Sep-10
I have a strong feeling that, like Acko, I'm going to have a mental breakdown and someone will have to put me in a straitjacket and cart me off to the asylum if i don't find this cache on the next attempt!!! my dad and i spent about half an hour literally going through every little bit of bark and sticks around GZ (and we know we were in the right spot because of the photos!)... i swear if this cache is a hollow bit of bark or stick i'm going to cry. the only thing we found apart from bark and sticks were a few pits of rope and plastic - none of which were cache-like T_T if someone could please point us in the right direction it would be much appreciated!

here are some assumptions that perhaps we have wrong:
- something garden-orientated
- shaped roughly like a bison container
- cache is on the ground, but presumably behind/near/under something (not in the grassy plants) so that it doesn't get blown/washed away
- cache is not a piece of bark or stick ....and i hope to god its not because if it is then i'm not coming back lol!
