Logs
As there's been no cache to find or log to sign for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
Looks like water has got into the container again.
I will replace the log with a clean dry one, but till then it is a waste of time tryingto register a find.
Be back up soon.

More difficult than i thought - finally found - cache was wet and requires maintenance
Completed this with a team of Geocachers. The cache was difficult to find and should be rated higer than it is, or so I was told as this was the first cache I had found The cache was wet inside and needs maintenance. The log was saturated, but I still enjoyed myself.
Searched high and low and where we would have expected a cache to be but no luck with three pair of fairly experienced caching eyes we think this one might have been muggled.....
Log book is wet. Needs to be replaced. Been a while since I have gone geocaching. Was good to get back into it. Dageotrio
With a fresh cool breeze coming across the water this was a lovely spot this morning. Log is a little damp but still singable. Thanks for the great cache.
Arrived here with Mr Gap & after searching only for a short time we were drenched....waited for the rain to stop then found the cache shortly after TFTC
Arrived with Ms Wig and searched for quite a while.... then widened the search, then the heavens opened, so took the little bit of shelter on offer,
until the rain eased... did another pass over places already searched and found the cache in a spot I thought I already looked.
Nice spot, thanks NepeanCacher

Found by strikeswiftly and radioburwood 1336 hrs good spot took TB left TB 202752 from Victoria. Happy new year caching.
Found this one today in the pouring rain with 4 of us trying to huddle under one umbrella.
The log book is drenched and signing it became very difficult. Might need a new one and a zip lock bag.
Took nothing

I attempted this cache a while ago - but I was a bit freaked out by the muggle potential while searching. Today I was back and it was abandoned. I searched in areas that I thought matched the terrain rating - but nothing came to hand. After expanding my search, I came up with the beast. Perhaps some "drift" has occurred? I see the cache has been found by muggles wagging school by the log book. But the cache is safe and the log book is all good. TFTC NepeanCacher
First of our 13 finds for the day
Great little spot to sit and admire skyline

Went there at night... Couldn't find it, went back the next morning after breaky and eventually found it! I'm glad we did, since this is only the second GC we've ever actually found. We were about to give up on geocaching due to lack of success! Never finding anything was getting quite dis-heartening!
Accompanied with ALL7 - Beauty area - enjoyed view the lake Lido. Search for short and found it. SL. Thanks NepeanCacher.
Found with Hugo07 after shopping.
Thanks for the cache.

A quick cache in the pouring rain after a trip to the nearby shopping centre. Log book a little wet but still able to sign it. TNLNSL TFTC
At last I got down to do this one. No one out on the boardwalk this afternoon, rain threatening, but I made it without getting wet. I found the cache in amongst some other stuff that has "dropped" down there so now the cache is actually sitting in a cap! Very pleasant spot and possible to retrieve cache without anyone seeing you. Log damp but could still write on it.
Neat location. Watched eels swimming around in the water. Cache found after a bit of exploring. TN L Lizzard. TFTC.
6th of 29 for the day with two of my kids, James and Jasmine on a bit of a Gold Coast onslaught. Limited to traditionals pretty much with the kids. This was one i was not able to get to last year, which was not long after i started caching. Cleaned up this year after a short walk. Cheers and TFTC.
Yep, that log book sure is wet. Took a bit of a chance on this one... I left the log book on top of (not inside) the container and covered it with the plastic camo cover. This should stop the rain from getting to it (log can't get any wetter than it is already!) and because the air can get to it now, hopefully it might dry out for the next finder. TFTC.

Also forgot to add: When we found this, the log book was wet. Thankfully, pencil still worked for writing our entry.

This was the second cache of 6 on a relaxing Sunday. I was in the area to do some maintenance on my Robina Lilies cache so I had to head over and do this one, another great location. My thanks to NepeanCacher for the cache.
Long very wet - Didn't have time to dry out the log. May require a new log and a a bag for the log book.
This was a relatively quick find today. It would have been a lot quicker except for the muggles that decided to descend on the area
at the exact moment I located the cache. I had to wait for them to move on before I could grab the cache and sign the log.
Log was very wet, but still usable.

I found your cache today sittng in a container of water so everything inside the sistema was soaked.
After tipping the water out of the cache and flapping the sodden logbook about in the breeze I put it back in its container and hid it in a way to stop future water accumulation.
The logbook will need replacing but unfortunately I didn't have one on me today.

been told by my mother that she has returned to the cache and left the welsh spoon (she has taken it upon herself to wrap it in a waterproof bag and place under the cache box...mothers huh, what can you do?, she is 75 though so i cut her some slack lol)
am logging these in and out, my mum took these to OZ with the intention of leaving them in this cache, left 1 TB here but only a small cache so she will try and put the coin,taxi and love spoon in a cache in sydney.
am going to log this as my find as i game my mother the clue and cords and she found it for me and put in the TB i had given her. well done mumu lol
Seeing all the "Easy Find" logs on the cache since my DNF I just had to have another look when I was in the neighbourhood.
I don't know why I couldn't find it last time. Of course it was easy this time. TNLN. A lovely spot which I didn't mind returning to.

I reckon this one was easier at night. The torch showed me what I wanted to see without upsetting the natural cover [^]. Soon had a cache in hand. TN/LN/SL and disappeared into the night without any of the neighbours being any the wiser ... I think ... I hope .
After searching in the wrong spot for a bit (wow these plants grow everywhere) and calling Fangsoki (who I thought had found it... but I was wrong), I changed the search area and tracked the down the cache in no time at all.
TFTC. While signing the log a couple of those pesky cache dwelling frogs hopped on in.

No luck for me today. I didn't want to disturb the foliage too much but the cache was not evident.
One for the watchlist.

Lovely spot, had to wait for a couple of young muggles to finish their smokes (probably before going home!) Found by one of our geokiddies. Very happy with toy car, left bouncy ball.
Just another spot we never knew existed. tftc.

Beautiful park. Quickly found. There was some kind of large bird just sitting on the fence watching us the whole time. It didn't seem worried about us wondering around.

I am surpised how busy this place is on a Monday morning. Plenty of muggles using the walking track.

Quick find once the GPS made up its mind which side I should look on. While MissGeosie entertained herself with rocks and ducks. I quickly retrieved the cache and took it to the nearby bench to do the business. It was only when I got there that I realised I'd also retrieved a decent sized spider (barely smaller than the container!) Fortunately he didn't seem to bear me any ill will, and scurried off under the bench to hide. Signed log then had to wait for muggles to pass before replacing it. Took nothing, left only a wry chuckle upon noticing NyletaM had beaten me to this cache too. She's everywhere! TFTC NepeanCacher!
Found today in the company of my mum. This was her first cache. Very pretty spot. TNLN TFTC
Lovely little park. The fish were jumping and the water fowl were very happy

Geohubby saw this one published and told me about it. Well, that made for a hurried change of plans. Set the t.v. to record the show we were about to watch and out we went in pursuit of this new cache. Arrived at GZ and due to good co-ords made a quick find. And, once again, this is what we love about geocaching - it takes you to places that are worth seeing but that you might otherwise never go to. This is a pretty spot and with the lights reflected in the water it is great. Thanks for the new cache NepeanCacher. Took: cards and badge. Left: gemstone and permanent marker.
