I came by to check this cache and it indeed was missing, owing to the construction around here for the new service center I will archive it.

Hi Rainbow Spirit,The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, or it may not but in the absence of the cache owner performing maintenance and/or disabling the cache to check it out, 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 4 weeks) 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 listing and post a new note every 4 weeks to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.Ngaambul - Matt

No luck here

That evening a quick check on way home. Its sibling at the other side was archived last weekend. This GZ is outside the cleared out zone of two archived fast food joints. However like recent finders, I could not spot the hide nighttime. Have to wait for a CO check or try again daytime.

.

Had a pretty good look under many trees and moved many needles but couldn’t find anything

I think that the cache is missing.

No luck

Did not spend much time due to. Large. Homwless. Shelter nearby

About the 10th one I tried
A bit damp but scribable

This took a little while as it was well hidden but got there in the end. TFTC

Found while watching Top Fuel dragsters at eastern creek. That and this cache were both a Adrenalin rush.
This was well hidden. Tftc

We have travelled from Sydney’s Northern Beaches to Emu Plains for a short four day caching holiday, staying in a park cabin at the Ingenia Nepean River BIG4 Holiday Park at Emu Plains, and are planning to explore around Emu Plains and the areas between Castlereagh and Warragamba. Will be concentrating our efforts on collecting the Penrith geoart caches and the Warragamba geoart caches, most of which we have managed to solve before leaving home, and also hoping to complete a new local Adventure Lab that has appeared since our last visit to the area. May also collect some solved “Band Caches” puzzle caches, and “Suburbs of Penrith LGA” traditional caches, that we happen upon during our travels. This was our 1st find of the day (day 1), and 1st find of the holiday.

Stopped off at the roadside service centre and grabbed an ice cream for geoson#2, then wandered up to GZ for a reasonably quick find, but we did have to look at a few before finding the correct one. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. Sadly someone has dumped several large black garbage bags of rubbish, well we assumed they contained rubbish, close to GZ. Thanks Rainbow Spirit for the cache, our very first find of the holiday.

Find #4857

Second attempt. Brought gloves and the spider web removing tool. This was so incredibly well camouflaged. TFTC

So much leaf litter. So many spiders. So many Casurina trees. I'll bring gloves next time.

Thanks for the cache check Rainbow Spirit! Alas I will return, reading your comment I realise there is something I may not have checked.

I checked the cache and it is still there. Think base of tree, road side.

Expect my return! - I mainly didn’t look very hard due to the other DNF’s and the fact I had to get back to my working duties at the nearby “big chicken”

Early in the morning, I was able to have a decent poke around and came up with nothing. This one is gone for sure.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Agree with the others here.. seems like a cleanup swept this one away

Don’t know what oz cam is but even after searching through a bunch of comments can’t find, seems to have been a clean up of garbage as there are huge bags around, my guess is it’s been piled under something and can’t be found

Lots of big council cleanup bags around so they may have found and chucked it.

I bit tricky but will b back

Looked at the terrain rating and knew it would require a little bit at least of heading down. Thankfully it didn't take too long after a bit of a dig through the pine needles. TFTC

TFTF A nice way to fill in time while waiting to do Go Karting

Found on my way home from work. Very good spot!

TFTC #8

This one took me a while to find. Despite the good clue i circled around the GZ for a while before checking out some of the previous comments. One in particular caused me to take a more hands on approach to my search.
The container is in good condition and the log is dry.
Thanks.

It has been quite some time since I logged a Rainbow Spirit cache. I went looking for this one a long time ago and discovered it was actually missing.

Many times I have driven up the M4 but not stopped but today wanting a day for the most recent souvenir, I went looking again and found easily with the good coordinates.

All in order. Thanks Rainbow Spirit.

Thanks for cache.

Tftc

I was able to find this cache during my sightseeing tour today.

Thank you for the cache
Team sissifalke

Found covered in more than an ample amount of natural camo. Put back with less. TFTC

Found, almost buried, under lots of needles. Took awhile to grab. But got it! Replaced with less camo as it has enough of it's own. TFTC

Was out with Trodectus to get a cache, had seen this one but was going to give it a miss as we were on a back road. As we neared, saw access to the site, so parked and walked to GZ. As we were searching it started to rain, but not too heavy, we were worried that we might have to stop as there was a lot of thunder and expected heavier rain, Luckily we found the cache while the rain was still light, log signed and returned. On the way back to the car, the heavens opened and we were drenched before we got to the car, so drove home in a wet state. TFTC

Found with Coybear2000. We decided to head out for a cache. We hadn't planned on this one as we weren't on the M4. But we noticed we were close by and then we saw an access point, so we went anyway. We started our search and it took a few minutes before we located the hide. It started raining lightly while we signed the log and replaced everything. We hoped we'd remain relatively dry, but it started pelting down as we walked back to where we'd parked. By the time we got there we were soaked. TFTC.

Have waited a while for this one to be available. Parked in trucks stop and wandered to gz. A lot of rubbish in the area makes it difficult to locate cache but got it eventually. TFTC

Replaced

Good to go

All good again

Looks like it might be MIA, I'll have to replace it.

After a quick stop here for a bite to eat.
Thought we would try and find this one, unfortunately didn’t have any luck.
Cheers

We believe someone has moved it or taken it as we could not find actual container but found it's whole

i think it may have been moved from its original position

needs to be fixed not here has been moved or taken #blueteam

I know I was in the right location but no cache

Out caching with WaywardWoman this morning. Heading home she suggested i look for this one. After scratching around we came up empty handed.

A day of caching in a different area! Lots of fun and lots of good and surprising caches. Weather was more then excellent and I made an early start. By mid day I had already made my way to Moss Vale for a Halloween event. Thanks for putting out all the caches!

This was a very easy find as the cache was open laying with other rubbish with the log book as well. I sign the log which was a little damp emptied the water from the lid and base. I put the lot back together and hide at the base of the tree with a rock over it. It will need some maintenance as the log will go mouldy. TFTC glad to log this find.

Easy find

Geoson not impressed with the small of passing waste truck. Easy find with clear directions. TFTC.

It was dusk, bit hard without torch and slope too. we feel not worth to risk and will come back other day. thanks!

A bit hard to find. It was night

Nice quick & easy find! Grabbed my wallet before I strolled over to GZ so that I could bye a snack after making the find. I also took the TB. TFTC

Cheeky little find after a dinner stop on the M4 with the little finders

#487 - Geocaching Live for Windows Phone

I am catching up on old logs. This was the only find for the day. I was keen to find this cache as it filled in a missing date on my dates hidden calendar. After reading the cache description and previous logs, I worked out where I had to park the car but the difficulty lay in getting on the right side of the M4 to make this search work. As I found the exit, I ended up overshooting the entrance to the parking area and had to find a way to turn back or otherwise, I would have ended up back on the M4. I had to go against the flow of the trucks but luckily none were moving. I parked the car and started the walk to GZ. There were a few muggles about but I just kept walking. I realised where the cache would be located and wished that I had worn my hiking shoes instead of the regular sneakers but nevertheless, a cache was to be found. I made my way down the slope and found it quite slippery. I looked for the camo at the base of the trees but found nothing. Not wanting to risk an injury, I stood firm and looked around. Sure enough, I saw some camo about a foot away from a tree and sure enough, the cache was underneath. I was so shaky on the ground not wanting to slip that after revealing the contents of the cache, taking a photo and crossing it off my own list, I'm pretty sure I signed the log. TNLN. TFTC.

#884 Staying at the Alpha Hotel, I walked up Peter Brock Drive. Went throught to the correct side of the fence via the small stair case near Red Roo. Its a hot 35 degree afternoon, should have taken the car... Past all the trucks to GZ where I made a quick n easy find. Dropped trackable. Tftc. Tomorrow I head back to Canberra...

17/9/15. 1:08 PM. Cache #3005. Streak day #452.
4th of 10 this afternoon - Huntingwood, Eastern Creek & Erskine Park.

After finding "Sydney 80 Days in a row cache Challenge", this was next on my route west, although I had to head east a bit to loop around to it. Parked at the Red Rooster and walked across to GZ past all the dormant big rigs. As I was in thongs, I tried all the trees at the top level first before venturing down the slope a bit. Finally made the find; glad I was out of sight down here. I walked back to the car and headed on to my next target, "Wouldn't it be Wonderful...". TFTC.
} : )

4 out of 5 is not bad for an hour worth of caching this morning.

Nice easy find on the way home from work.
Pity about all the rubbish around.
TFTC.

After driving back from the city I thought it would be a good night to find this cache. But I had left both my Garmin and iphone at home so I thought at least I have my ipad and torch, well only my ipad as my torch was flat as well.
So luckily the only thing in favour was that the coords where spot on so after checking a few trees and being distracted by all the rubbish I soon had cache in hand.
Both cache and log in good condition. Tftc

Tftf..

Part two of a quick morning session on the way home after a night shift SL TNLN the amount of time I've driven past this one prior to being de-muggled don't bear thinking about!

Found it while having dinner break with muggle friends

#92 came for a trip to go to the mountains for a day of caching. Stopped here for my first. Park near the big chicken & followed the reading till it showed me the way to GZ. Signed log and waited till no cars were coming went back to me car & off I went. TFTC

Tftc, dunno wat oz cam is but i got it,

Quick easy find

#1437 (1 of 10 today)

Heading out west for a few First to Finds no one has picked up yet. Got them and eight other caches. Good day al round!
[center]* * * END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION * * *[/center]
Decided to stop here for a bite to eat and a look for the nearby cache.
Parked as suggested, donned my cloak of invisibility, and walked to GZ.

Well, I went round in circles here assuming two types of hide, when it was a pretty obvious third type. Oh well. Only took 10 minutes in the end so can't complain too much. The advantages of being methodical.

Completed signing duties and wandered back to The Hademobile. Then grabbed lunch - sans cloak.

The Pickles first find!

After noticing that others found this cache yesterday, thought I'd return in daylight.
Less than 1 minute I had CIH.

Much easier is daylight!

Thank you the cache

Now the multi seems to be tough..

That makes 110 total and haven't missed my target of 1 cache+/day nearly 1 month. Rapidly running out of local caches.

Getting signed up for go karting takes ages and there was no way I was going to sit around waiting for the officialdom when I knew a cache was so close. The good news is that there is a set of stairs off Peter Brock Dr across from the go karting meaning that there's an easy way to get access to the cache GZ. Cache was found quickly and all in good shape.

Even at this time of the morning the smells coming from the sunburnt chook were intoxicating. I pointed my nose in the other direction and found the cache. Swapped swag.

Looked at dusk with no success, GPS wasn't behaving either which didn't help.

Yaaay!!!

Felt a bit exposed looking for this one but found with the assistance of the geo trail, and managed to grab, sign and replace between muggle vehicles.

TFTC

Thanks lots of trucks

TFTC

Parked in the trucking area and vaulted a fence, avoiding a tumble down to the muddy watering hole down below. Cache surprisingly dry on this rainy day. Logbook also dry, could probably do with a ziplock bag for additional protection. No writing implement - bring your own. Apologies for not adding those, I don't have my usual caching gear!

Today is our fourth day in Sydney and klettercache and me have picked up a rental car which will escort us the next weeks on a drive to Cairns. In order to test the automatic gear, the Sydney traffic and the left-side driving, we have made a short tour from Sydney to Katoomba and back again.
We found that the automatic gear is great, that the left-hand side traffic will not be a hazzle and that the Sydney traffic seems to be horrible, at least around 7 p.m. (which should have been clear already before having it proved by reality).
Katoomba is a very nice village and it was really worth visiting it.

On the way to the Blue Mountains, we have made several stops along the road and found some wonderful caches.

This was one of the caches we have found. It was easy to find but the surrounding seemed to be like a litter place. Anyway, we ignored all the litter, grabbed to box and signed our names.

Thanks for hiding this one.
Greetings from a German team.

Have found this one today together with my dad schwabenheini.
Thanks for hiding this cache.

Found it on the way to the blue montains. Easy found. Nice cache. Hope the weather for the blue montains is good.

Found on the way to the Bluies Autumn event. I thought I'd be able to get breakfast here but the Red Crow hadn't opened at this early hour. Wandered over past the sleeping trucks and found it after checking 2 or 3 spots. SL and took the 2 TBs off to the event. Thanks RS.

Found today while out on the bike... Dropped off two TB's

found with dad and brother.

Found with alnic and zobo (dad and sister). Late log. TFTC!

Fun caching with the family. tftc!

I was driving past on Peter Brock Drive when this one appeared on the GPS>

Luckily there is a pedestrian access from the drive through the fence and I headed past the parked trucks to the search area.

A bit of sliding on the bank before I accidentally dislodged the covering of the cache. That saved a bit of searching.

TFTC.

Nice quick find tftc

Easy cache

A quick find on the back home from Sydney today. TFTC
