Spent about 20 mins looking around. No Dice. Based on the last few logs Needs to be fixed or archived.
Looked around everywhere & couldn't seem to find it - also noticed that all the logs from 2013 are DNF's. CO may need to check it out.
CO may need to check if its still there given that all this years logs are DNF's. Will keep watching this one in the interim.
This one has been muggled more than once in the past, and it looks like it's gone again.
I'm not sure if the CO is still involved in geocaching.
Ought to be fixed up or else archived.

No find here. After a lengthy look, nothing was found. Will return and try again.
Didn't find it, with no-one around I had plenty of time to go over everything at the structure but I couldn't find it. This hasn't been visited for 5 months now - or maybe the dnf's haven't been logged. Hope it's still there.
Took a bit of poking around, but found it eventually. Didn't have any gloves with me, so used my pen to encourage it from its hidey hole. TNLNSL TFTC.
Found with Browngang on a footy and caching trip to Sydney. Look given the choice between birdwatching or the mountains I'm choosing the pub everytime. This was a nice easy find for us, nice location. Thanks for the cache timlioli.
Nice spot, though not worth sitting here all morning bird watching. Is there supposed to be a swamp here or something? TFTC
Cheers from Browngang

Found it after a quick search. Nice spot for an early morning walk or bike ride. TFTC!
Woo Hoo was about to walk away and DNF this 1 when I said to geokids let me try 1 last spot. Bingo!
With the fading light I got out the HID and spotted something tucked away in the most likely of spots. I had looked here already but it was tucked away rather well and I must have missed it, with the warning of huntsmens in the hide I put on the gloves had a feel around and soon had CIH!
SL and returned.

It's there, but another for the HID ('canned sun') torch. Took a while here as well with many places to hide. That hint is the savior for this TFTC
Three separate attempts over the past 2 weeks and I've failed to find this cache. Either the difficulty is off or the cache may have been muggled.
So many places a little cache could hide but thought "where is the best place?" And that's where it was. TFTC
What a fantastic location for a cache. I'm constantly being impressed by the land set aside in this urban sprawl for park lands and nature reserves, not to mention the effort and money that has been put into developing these areas.
Nice hide, thanks for bringing me here.

There was quite a few muggles out and about in the area today but thankfully obody was in the watch tower.
A nice simple find in the first place I looked.
Thanks timlioli for the cache.

Realised I could just another one in for the day but was not prepared. Just had nearby co-ords but no hints etc. Got to GZ and swa lots of hinding spots and guessed the cache type. Let the GPSr settle to see if I could narrow the search and also though where would I put the hide. Looked and then touched something on the first area I searched in. Talk about being lucky. SL and returned as found.

Out and about with fellow interstaters, we headed in for an early morning hunt on this one. No sign of muggles, very few feathered friends and not much else to look at really. So, we figured we'd search for a cache... Well, it made sense while we were here...
We scanned the area and probably missed the cache on first pass. A couple of minutes later, Kaisho53 pulled the container from its lair. Aha, there it is...
Cheers timlioli.

Kaisho found the cache quickly. TFTC

Nary a bird to be seen, but a few cottontails bouncing around gave us something to look at while we signed the log. Found the hint helpful, as was the absence of all muggles until we were leaving the area. TFTC. =^.^=

Birdwatch, I think the mountains will be forever hidden behind the new housing. SL #145
Found the cache half hanging in there, so it was an easy find.

Reperio at 2200. Parked nearby, but with the construction fences, had to walk around a bit further to get to GZ. A very open spot, but no one here at this time of night. After a solid 5-10 mins of searching, the cache was located nicely tucked away out of sight.
Gratias.

For some reason after Go No Further #3 this was next on our list but there were plenty of others in between so I must have stuffed something up.
Anyway it was nice to get away from the neglect of much of the Riverstone area and see a nice looking new suburb. Saw plenty of little thornbills in the bushes and made the find quicker than I expected here.
Thanks!

number 3 of 6 finds for the day (plus a couple of GCA locationless finds), and also the 3rd find in about 12 minutes - nice to have some close together like this.
I had a choice of levels, and was fortunate to choose the right level first, giving me a find within a minute of arriving.
Thanks, a nice viewing spot, which was busy with muggles looking for a peaceful spot together when I went past 20minutes later (after not finding the next cache I went for).
Find #827, on a Sunny winters day, thanks.

Went to replace the cache today but area was inhabited by teenagers who were in no hurry to leave. Will replace cache one day soon. In the meantime I'll put it on hold.
Thanks all for visitng.

Went looking for this one and like previous finders have said it seems have gone missing in action.
I went there before reading the logs!!! when I looked around, I found a black piece on the ground, reading couple of logs I realised that I wasted my time

I guess i'll log it as found.. It is just on the ground smashed up now. Wish id had something on me to replace it with for you. thanks though.
Cache has been smashed, parts of it under stairs , no log left, no lid left:(. Observation platform is a great idea for cache though! Pity about mindless grubs.
Like the other log said, the cache has been smashed to pieces and all that's left is the bottom of it
Sorry, you have had your cache muggled.

Went looking for it at night, not the logical choice at all, but INCREDIBLE feeling when we found it =)

Such an easy find that took so long, climbed all over before finding it where I started. Tftc and taking me to this spot
Similar hide to one I'd just come from and again just out of reach from below. Luckily charligirl had a slight advantage over me for a quick retrieval. Log book soaked so signed the best I could.
First find! TFTC!! Pretty wet and couldn't unroll it, nice to mark off that first one though!
Nice micro cache, close to home, and our JRT TimTam enjoyed the walk too! Cache has got a bit wet however. Left a note inside as couldn't unravel the soggy logbook. TNLN
I'm new to Geocaching this was my first find. Left a note in the cache and replaced to it's original location. Nice spot all very new will only get better with time.
Nice area and we stayed there for our lunch, Found it - need TLC and the log is wet see pic. Signed the log. Thanks timlioli.
Team Bullfrog found this one.
Nice little spot, lots of McMansions going up around here, never knew there was so much development in the area. Oh well, it's progress.
Signed the log.

Found it tonight. Cache was poking out a fair bit so put it further in. Nice hide TFTC
Went to replace the container today with one whose magnet is still attached but found a group of teenagers inhabiting GZ. Next time.
Easy Find, TFTC
very warm day
The magnet is loose and no longer attached to cache

Another close one on the way home. Got to GZ after a short walk and with hint knew geokids probably wouldn't be able to find this one. So I searched and at first found the magnet...huh...then near it, found the cache minus magnet. Tried to re attach, but needs attention. SL. Placed back where cache was found, even though magnet was in a different spot when I found it (I blame the magnet on Steveishere, being the last one to sign...hehehe) Great place though. TFTC.
Watched the storm come over and blow away.
Found it and thought what a nice place to live.
Thanks.

Geocaching this evening has been my way to fill in a few hours. Not that I really mind, it's as good an excuse as any. It just rained and the new roads and the red lit bridge look very sparkly. TFTC, and for taking me somewhere I otherwise wouldn't have come! Found after about two minutes of using my phone as a torch.
