The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. 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 30 days) 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 page and post a note every month or so to keep everyone up to date.
Walking past this arvo being a previous finder it's not there the co hasn't cached for a couple of years it's time to open the area up for another hide.
I was tempted to write a needs archived note but I won't. At least not yet.
The cache has not been found since December, when people were even saying "can't get to it". All the last finders are very new. The cache is obviously not there because it is not in the obvious spot either.
The cache owner's last visit to the geocaching site is 2010 - so I doubt they'll be fixing the cache. Not sure what's going to happen to it? Maybe it does deserve a needs archived? Maybe later.

With a last find date of December 2012 and looking in the right location = muggled for sure.
You know what - I am almost certain this is gone.
We looked for a bit, right where the hint and description said - and no cache.
It was then we realised that this cache was last found DECEMBER and that even then people were talking about it being gone.
Cache check please??

Found it on a sunny Sunday out with evangt. Nice easy find, came at it from a different angle and had to go back around. SL TNLN. TFTC
Out on yet another glorious Sunday morning with Footyfanatics. The days just keep getting better. Quick find after spotting cacher trails. No TB inside but signed log and replaced.
Found with JYTG and mrryanmurray. Note the geocoin is not in the cache. TFTC TNLN:)
GPS pointed the direction to go, so I looked at the hint and spotted where it should be... Found it!
Its a shame how much rubbish is in this creek though

Coming back from the kids sport and we thought we should try for a find before we ran out of time. Parked near GZ and walked over. We where on the bridge waiting for the GPSr to settle when some muggles and there does appeared to so had to move on and then double back. Once we got to GZ we made a quick find and completed the signing duties before replacing. TFTC
Well GPS had me all over the placed. In the abandoned it and searched all the obvious places. TFTC
Found this with Geofamily. Thanks for taking us by this park. It was a lot of fun and fairly easy to find. Thanks for the Cache.
TFTC Our first find. YAY. Found with happypaintball. Thanks to the happypaintball family for helping & introducing us to this fantastic new adventure.
I made this much harder than I needed to, instead of following GPS I walked off aimlessly. I soon realised it was not necessary to go over there and once I let the arrow point me in the right direction I made a quick find. Cache is in good condition, I couldn't find where the last person signed so I found a blank page and inked the log.

Found on my way home from work in the cold and the dark. Took a while, but got it in the end. TFTC
Out for a run to explore the area NW from home. Found this cache on the way. TFTC

Thanks Acko
Thanks Acko
Along with Lara_Croft this cache was found on a sunny sunday afternoon. 2x items added to the cache 1x 9carrot gold hoop ear ring and some shedded snake skin (because this is the same place in which I had my first red bellied black snake encounter) We found this cache with no gps coordinates and it was also our first found cache. Was good to get one under our belts... We will now be known as morpheous and trinity...
Hey fellow secret spies...our first mission successfully accomplished lol
We actually found this cache without a GPS or any Coordinates.. Happy Hunting !!!
We added two items to this cache...A 9 carat gold hoop earring and a fresh snake skin

Checked out the maps before leaving home this morning for golf nearby here. After failing to get another one close by, I remembered looking at this one and managed to find it from memorizing the map (without taking a gps). Followed the cachers track and then established some likely hide locations. Thanks guys for my 99nth cache.
Quick grab, it's so hot we can hear children swimming near by, I would like a swim too. TFTC Dropped off TB
Reperio at 1120.
After spending the morning in the search for 'Bifrost', I headed out to grab some breakfast, and a few other caches in the area to clear the head. On approach to GZ, the cache location looked obvious, but getting a closer, I soon realised that wasn't the case. Wandered around a little until the true spot revealed itself, and the cache found.
Gratias Scoutmaster Brook.

A few fallen obstacles lay in our way but we found a way through.

13:10, GAFF3, The GPSr had us all over the place for this one. We put it away and started searching possible locations, down there, up there, then over there we spotted a likely contender.
Sure enough, there it was.
SL, cache in good condition.

A tree seems to have come down across the path to GZ. I pushed my way through regardless for a quick find. Found in good order. Ty
I do not really know where the Big Rocks were, but once the GPSr had settled down, we soon found the cache.
A bit of a wet day today with light rain. Still managed to get some good caches located. Soon had this one found. SL TFTC
Finally been able to get to this one as I keep going past it.
Parked in nearby st, then walk over to the little bridge, let GPS settle then went in for the hunt. Found with ease and found contents safe and dry.

not having a GPS wasnt a great one for this one, was looking all over the place even went into the creek when i saw a log.... would of been a GREAT place for a geocache but it wasnt it, ended up exploring the other side and bushbashing til i found it and realising there was a path leading to it.... but it was a good way to start the day
# for today:5, TOD: Afternoon, Conditions: Fine, Cache Condition: Excellent, Others: Nil, Notes: Nil.
Geoteen and I had made a cursory attempt on this c ache a couple of months ago at night and called it quits witht a fading torch.
Came back today and made a quick find although I nearly backed away from the final hide without CIH (just being lazY:). A more concerted effort rewarded me.

A few more caches this morning before work, trying to clear the 10km radius. Parked on the road and walked over to GZ. Was expecting something very big and rocky, but was let down a little. Walked around and checked a few places before finally checking one more area. Found cache in good condition. SL. TNLN and replaced. Nice one. TFTC.

Our very first Goecache. The 1st of many its like we have discovered another world! LOVE IT

Instant find, was not exactly hidden, now it is at least out of sight.
Cheers

Found it. Have to watch out for spiderwebs though. Nice hiding place, did you set it up yourself?

Nice hiding spot but there were lots of spiders. There was no Geocoin in the cache. TFTC
We returned for the Mount Whitney TB to take it on our trip over the long weekend. It's off to the beach today and then down to Canberra. TNLN, Happy Easter Everyone!
We have been to this cache before, but we returned to place a TB as this is a nice and reasonably visited cache. Due to an injury, unfortunately we've had this TB for too long and wanted to give someone else a chance to take it on an adventure. We do apologize for keeping it longer than usual. If it's still here next week we'll give it more of an adventure taking it further out of Sydney! Sorry, also should mention, the other TB that was listed as being in this cache wasn't there when we found it. Someone may have yet to log their find.

Nice little hiding spot, I even got to spot this one before my geohusband....TNLN...TFTC
Im no sure why I missed logging this one but I found it last time I was in town. I remember how much of a pain it was to reach. TFTC
Thought we'd sneak a quick cache in after work but managed to take the long was round to this one. Nice hiding spot. We took the police car and left a 'ghostly' salt and pepper shaker we picked up in a cache in New Caledonia - it wants to travel to the UK, so hope someone else can help it along its way! TFTC
Took what we discovered was the long track in. Estreich Mum not pleased with walking through the stickiest spider web know to man, that will teach her to focus on the prize and not whats in front of her
Quick find, added a bit of natural camo to it, hope thats ok

Nice easy find owing to Mrs G finding the best route. Nice location, only observer was a passing dog. We took an American dime and left a NZ coin. TFTC
