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 (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.

The cache has gone missing.
 
17-Sep-13
After a small search we have up after reading four did not finds before us. Can the owner please check and see if it is still available?
 
12-Sep-13
Looked high, low and between but no luck. Perhaps the 'thin' we were looking for was not thin enough. Might head back for another quick look after reading some of the older posts.
 
29-Aug-13
Had a bit of muggle free time to explore thoroughly & found nothing, so not sure if its here to find?
Two young ladies have now taken up residence on the quay, so mission aborted, regardless Sad
 
01-Aug-13
Cache is AWOL! Wasnt there when found on 1/8/13
 
21-Jul-13
Back for the third time with Killa, still no find, if the cache owner wouldn't mind checking if it is still here that would be much appreciated
 
01-Jun-13
Read through previous logs.

Our First Geocache. Not what we expected. We overlooked it several times until "nickstarrs" told is what we were missing. Cool cache. TFTC. Our first find!!
 
10-May-13
Very clever. Great spot. Medium difficulty. Smile awesome job red ninja
 
10-May-13
I thought it was a rule not to be so thin. Very creative
 
27-Apr-13
Great idea haven't seen one like this before. TFTC
 
26-Apr-13
Reperio at 1155.

With the day off work, Big Matt and I decided to head north to find a few caches around Harrington and Taree. When we arrived near GZ, there were a few muggles around, but none quite in the immediate vicinity. We sat down and had a good idea where to find the cache, and Big M made the extraction while I kept watch on our surroundings. Enjoyed the spectacle that the birds were giving us flying in formation in circles. A nice little hide.

Gratias Red Ninja.
 
26-Apr-13
Our 6771st overall find.

Found on a day out with Marcus Vitruvius up to and around Harrington and Taree. This one was found easily and while we signed the log we watch a flock of cockatoos chase a few crows.

Thanks Red Ninja for the cache.
 
22-Apr-13
I finally replaced the log sheet with a new one. Thanks to everyone who has logged a find, it has proven to be a very popular cache.
 
21-Apr-13
Very Fun Cache. Nice Spot. The cache does need a bit of maintenance, there is almost no more room to write and it has broken in half. But Nice Cache. TFTC
 
19-Apr-13
This was a very interesting cache and i had passed it off as nothing quite a few times until i decided to pick it up. Wow, interesting but there is hardly anymore room to write...
 
19-Apr-13
Interesting idea, Red Ninja.TFTC
 
13-Apr-13
10:30 I have been expecting for a long time to come across one of these clever caches and I will use one one day. "Log" is full and I dId not write on top of other entries. TFTC
 
13-Apr-13
grabed this one on a day out caching around Taree and surrounds with Team Senz TFTC
log is full but took a pic of it to prove find TFTC
 
13-Apr-13
Today we headed north with TeamTonka for some caching for the day.

As it was getting late in the night this was one of our last finds for the night, Cache.....well log has seen better days.

Thanks Red ninja
 
12-Apr-13
Excellent hide! Log requires maintenance. No more room to log name.
 
12-Apr-13
Log requires replacing. No more room to write.
 
28-Mar-13
What a cunning hide. Log needs replacing no room for any further entries
 
14-Mar-13
Found it yesterday. First chance to log it. Luckily it was fairly quiet at GZ. Took some searching, but eventually found it. (Log is full).
 
07-Mar-13
Din't find it previously due to the flooding, but no such troubles this time.
Surprised it stuck around.

TFTC Ninja, you're a champ, but god you hide some clever caches.
 
26-Feb-13
found in the company of Dorik after the water receeded glad it was still there
 
25-Feb-13
Caching with Kwaianna, I was game but Kwaianna chickened out just because there was about 20 foot of water over it.
Dorik (B)
 
25-Feb-13
Went back with Kwaianna in the dry and we got it this time

24-Feb-13
didnt find due to water
 
24-Feb-13
Please be advised this cache is underwater, maybe leave it for at least a couple of days! We couldn't get near it!
 
08-Feb-13
really awesome spot
really really awesome cache idea
however it needs some maintainence
btw hard spot coz of muggles Smile
 
21-Jan-13
Different and ingenious type of cache, and blended in well with it's surroundings. Sadly it's a bit fragile and finally split in two. The writing surface is degraded and peeling, so a new one might be needed. Managed to SL on a small section of the surface. TFTC.
 
18-Jan-13
Another day out and about on the bike, but no Ninja for me, Red, or any other colour.
Seems like I just missed another cacher. Yes, the log 'sheet' is FULL, not sure where you get them, or would have helped out and replaced it for you.
That 'darkens' another square on the D/T grid for me! Bonus!
March Madness TB thru (somehow)

On one of the hottest days in Taree we are out caching, this one was a fair walk as we couldnt get a park nearby, we were fairly certain we knew what to look for and yes we were right, there it was. Hard to sign the log as only had a pencil. TFTC
 
14-Jan-13
Sneaky hide. TFTC.

Out and about today with Craig & Grace. They had previously DNF'd this one, so asked for some help. We drove down and parked and then walked back to GZ. Started searching and after checking the hint to make sure we were in the right place I saw the cache. Told Craig & Grace and they made the find as well. SL and replaced. Introduced them to a different type of cache. TFTC.
 
09-Jan-13
With alfyboy very cool cache
 
02-Jan-13
On the way from Cessnock to Taree on a holiday with the family. Last find for the day.
 
01-Jan-13
A nice quick find once the muggles had passed.
 
01-Jan-13
Wow! Live it! Very sneaky. TFTC
 
29-Dec-12
Approached GZ and spotted some sus looking people, who turned out to be geocachers. We joined the search and made a quick find. Nice little cache here. And nice to meet other cachers from around these parts. TFTC.
 
29-Dec-12
Found it after missing out one other time. Bits falling off but working enough to sign. Met some other cool Geocachers doing a search. Nice to see other Geocacher people around Smile

28-Dec-12
Stopping off for lunch on a road trip with joelisa. Bumped into some fellow catchers so a quick find with all of us. TFTC.
 
27-Dec-12
Very Clever
Thanks
 
27-Dec-12
Great Thanks
 
26-Dec-12
It started to rain as we were approaching this one. Fortunately we did not need long to find it. It was a bit hard though to write on the log.
 
26-Dec-12
good one
 
23-Dec-12
9 caches tonight whilst stopping off on the way to qld tftc.
 
23-Dec-12
It will stare you in the face for a long time. Don't give up, it's right in front of you.
 
23-Dec-12
Don't give up! Just keep trying to think of different containers
 
11-Dec-12
Very good! Well played. Found while having lunch with pprass and DiMorgan.
 
05-Dec-12
Had a look for this one a couple of months ago but couldn't find it.
Back again today for another look & even though we had a rough idea where to look it was still very hard to see.
A favourite point awarded for clever concealment.

After getting a blow out on the highway we were in Taree for a replacement. Checked the iphone and yes this was just down the road. We love rain, muggle free. Clever idea, a favourite from us. TFTC Red Ninja.
 
12-Nov-12
I finally replaced the log, thanks for all of your positive comments!
 
06-Nov-12
Found by geowife, good eyes or what.
Replaced, just before a group of kids moved in.
Good hide, will give it a point for originality.
TFTC
 
05-Nov-12
Searched high and low but came up with nothing.
Now at home and reading previous logs, I have a better idea where to search next time.
Another day.
 
01-Nov-12
We have found a nice little spot at the Coopernook Hotel to park the caravan and go off caching. We got away early today and headed into Taree. Some very tricky finds had us going, this was one we were able to find. Cleverly done - this one gets a fav point.
Thanks to Red Ninja.
 
29-Oct-12
Quick find. Thanks for bring us here!
 
26-Oct-12
Came into Taree this moorning for a quick look around, go to a couple of bike shops, grab a coffee and, oh yeah, look for this geocache since its just round the corner. Hunted with Pehu for a while before I finally got my hands on it. Clever. That gets a fave from me.
Oh yeah - the log is full, we were pretty well having to write over the top of other names.

5267 + 580 = 5847. When Sol de Lune and I first saw the Mid North Coast Wander Power Trail published we knew we had to go for it. With 2 Long Weekends in a row for the ACT this weekend was chosen as the ideal time. We headed up on Friday and grabbed a few caches on the way and then a few in Taree where we stayed. Saturday and Sunday we knocked off the entire Power Trail, only having 2 DNFs along the way.

After finishing the Power trail we headed home today grabbing a few caches as time permitted. This was the first today found nice and early. Thanks red Ninja ! Nicely set up.

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers

This was neat. First find on our last day in town. Took a couple of minutes to work it out, but there it was. Log is getting full, but other than that, all was good.

Neat location at 0730 on a public holiday.

Thanks for the cache Red Ninja....a fun one.

28-May-12
Tftc! Never seen this type of cache, so required a lil help from a PAF! Great spot. Thanks again!
 
14-May-12
Whoopee!!!! We noted from the logs that this one had given a little trouble to others. Did cheat a little by reading the previous logs but came up the the cache without TOO much trouble. Thanks again Red Ninja - good one.
 
28-Apr-12
Great little hiding spot, log was a bit wet tho..
 
22-Apr-12

very clever!
 
21-Apr-12
Nice hide! Very hard to see even when looking straight at it.
 
01-Apr-12
Watched by two previous finders while I tried to find this cache. Had an idea what to look for, but just didn't reach high enough at first.
The log seems to have stuck to the metal, and pealed off. Think it needs a bit of work.
Thanks, Robmc.
 
21-Mar-12
Didn't realise Matt had replaced it, I thought the flood had cleaned all the entries off the log - phew!
 
16-Feb-12
New log. Thanks to everyone that has left positive notes for this cache. It seems to be enjoyable for most, and is my favourite cache that I own. If you can't find it the first time please come back and try again!
 
13-Feb-12
Back again but this time armed with more clues and Mrs Montonian found it in a minute. We both wondered why we didn't see it last time. Very lateral thinking for this "container". Log is full. Great cache. TFTC
 
04-Feb-12
Tftc it survived the flood.
 
04-Feb-12
Very clever, you can se how high the floods reached, there is there twigs on the benches and all is coated with mud. TFTC
 
16-Jan-12
A very creative idea for the cache. Hints and log entries led us to imagine unusual caches and we guessed it. It helped to have daylight to look. Very well done cache.
 
16-Jan-12
Attempted this with geodad last night in the dying light but just couldn't see it. Then based on the information of the hint geodad thought of what the cache could possibly be. Well, we attempted it again this morning (before our holiday takes us further north) and I spotted it almost straight away (thanks to some better lighting), and it was exactly the sort of cache geodad thought it might be! Very unique though, never seen anything quite like it. SL. TFTC!

Found with "The Neighbs". Very clever!! Very nice spot. The hint is a huge help. The "log" (hehehe) is now full. TNLN TFTC Smile

This was a very different cache but it was still found very quick
TFTC Red Ninja Was a nice area
 
15-Dec-11
Didn't get it this time but we'll be back - not gonna give up!
 
30-Nov-11
I did a cache check today, and it is still there! Better luck next time....Don't let the DNF's put you off, it may be a little tricky but thats what makes it exciting. [P.S it was a little high but there is no climbing involved.]
