Looks like this one is missing

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

It appears that cachesmasher_v2 has destroyed this cache, if CO cannot check on this cache may need to be archived, not found in 12 months, and cachesmasher_v2 claims to have destroyed it in September last year

Looked around for a fair while, even matched the surround to one of the photos and it definitely looks like it’s gone!

Couldnt find this one today, might return another time and try again

We're in the right location but was really wary of snakes in the undergrowth so abandoned our search. Happy to keep this as a DNF

Ddddhifg

Rats no luck for us today but enjoyed the walk down. Searched with the wonderful Minniek, Fitzy_1965, Lovetherabbitohs, B0tmun, deathkiller and mynamejeff, whilst up for the Morrisett mega tftc

Looked for a while but no luck. Followed the clue and hunted. Not sure if old mate below ruined it for everyone. Will be back tomorrow

Wow this is a well established geocache! Shame, bro. Gonna smash this one too. Lmao.

A change of plan led us this way, We had some solved puzzle and some other caches in our sights.
So many unfound caches with so little time restricting us to 1 day scramble. Lot of walking, only a couple of DNF. But a fun day in company with Wilbert67.
Thanks to all the CO for placing these caches. We will be back.

A long day of caching around Lake MacQuarie today. Solved a lot of puzzles in the preparation and teamed up with J+J.AU. Great weather and lots of fun. Thanks to all the CO for putting out the caches!

Took the trail from the side road and bush-bashed the last 20m. Luckily a quick find before the mozzies descended. TFTC

Found it after a good 10 minute search

Found out in the open. signed and hid as per hint. TFTC

C.C.C

Found it

Found

Second time back , much easier to find when there is still sunlight

Cute spot, wear closed toe shoes! Little hike in the forest

Cute spot, appropriate outfit needed lol

As if it's not obvious enough from previous logs - Don't wear thongs! I have so many scratches and bites on my feet :p Found it though, co-ords are spot on. Thanks a lot. Oh and I went in from the side road and it was mostly path or rather trail.

Hi

Great find!!
Took a wrong turn into reservoir rd at first and stumbled across a weird church type thing full of suspicious looking characters that were very anxious for us to leave. Making us feel very uncomfortable.

So my suggestion is to park on Myall Road and follow the trail.

Took us a while but after reading some of the previous posts we found it. TFTC

Shit go

Thank god for the doection and distance display!

Was searching for a while and was just about to leave and I thought I'll just check one more tree and sure enough it was there

Found a little way out in the open so I replaced it closer to what the clue hinted at.

Found it. Lots of ferns obout but once you've spotted the biggest patch the cache is an easy find. Tftc.

Was a bit of a bush bash from the main road. Keep searching different trees that are near the obvious tree. The hint does not help because the ferns have grown.

Found after about 5 minutes wasn't in the obvious place

No.2 find

Found after about a 10 minute hunt. The hint didn't really help, but we spotted it after checking lots of trees. As others have mentioned there is a really obvious hiding place nearby, but it wasn't there. We swapped a dice for some coins. Thanks for the hide.

Good hiding spot, watch for snakes!!!

Good find, have to walk through bush to get to though!

We found it!! Yay!! Went around in circles a bit and had to look at hint.

TFTC didn't go the most direct route but enjoyed the bush walk

A little trek through the bush and we found it. Thank you.

Thanks for the gold coin, left some dice and poker chips tftc

Good co-ordinates, and a good cache, my son exchanged a handful of dice for a gold coin.... TFTC

Found on the way home from work. TFTC

Lol no water tank

Hunting...hunting...what tree? There's ferns everywhere! Search was widened and eventually found by Julie. I remember the old water tank. SLTNLN TFTC cnnhorne

Had 10mins to spare before school pickup and this cache was en route. Nice quick find after if read the hint (was barking up the wrong tree prior). TFTC.

Nice easy hide, beautiful spot if it weren't for the traffic Found with lloyd_is and req949 TFTC

Nice little spot, found with Tpab, lloyd_is.

Found with TpAb and Req949. Nice bush cache

Good hunt

While just about to give up we found whilst walking out a@z

Tftc

Very surprised to find this in such an open spot when a more obvious hide nearby
All dry
Tftc

well camouflaged

TFTC 1350# nice spot

Nice find on a nice spot.

Spider and mozzie central

Found by the marble gang Spider and mozzie central nicely hid
Lest we forgot

Spider central

Easy

Found

Little bit tricky but we got there

First search and find. A little tricky to find but well worth it. A lot of loose leaf litter

Searched everywhere and ended up with a bully ant bite!! It hurts a lot.

Found with the cap'n and madam

Found it!
Was with Bye Heck and munchkin.
Quickie in the bush on the way home from work. Thanks.

Out with scroggy88 on a night run around the lake, nice spot here great spot tftc

So many spiders around left right up down everywhere you turn around. Do not recommend doing at night. Cache is in good condition still.

The gps took us into dense bush with lots of broken bottles - poked with a stick around all the trees within ten metres and nothing. No signs of any old water tank either.

First cache super happy!

First cache careful of all the spider webs if going around dusk

First cache! Yew!

Nice spot, yes loads of cicada shell & webs! Tftc

5.9.10 grab found this ... Her first cache

TFTC!! Inside the cache was a cicada shell. Scared the geo wife haha.

Took less than 5 minutes to find. Thank you!

Enjoyed the short walk, soon had cache in hand. TFTC

TFTC Much better than watching Mr Jennymarj play football nearby!

I've never seen so many spider webs in my entire life lol Nice spot though TFTC

Ivey Family from Hillsborough were here. Our second find! Thanks.

TFTC - Stepped on this one at least 3 times before I found it, slightly buried right where the hint says it will be.

I couldn't find this geocache, maybe I'll have better luck next time!

Was this ever a terrain 1.5? It it currently a terrain 2-3.
Didn't take too long, but still wished I'd put on mozzie repellent.
Thanks for bringing me to this little woodland!

good hide TFTC

After searching around possible sites I managed to locate it while a bloke was using a bobcat nearby.
No sign of a tank now.
TFTC.

Yay

I found it and a tick found me.

Grabbed a few while returning home from the nearby event. Glad the day has cooled off a little considering how hot it was mid morning. With a failing battery I had to search several locations before making the find. Not the best signal under the trees.

What's the first rule of caching in the bush? Don't look under the sheet of tin... Why? Big ass snake! Bowels recovered, hint used, log signed. TFTC

Found my first geocache. Nice cache. Thanks.

Realised that I came within metres of this one the last time I looked for it. Very frustrating. Anyway, quite a nice place.

Thanks for the cache cnnhorne.

Cccritter7 and I finally managed to leave on time today, for our third big GeoCaching ride of the holidays. We set off from Cccritter7's house, heading out to Mayfield to pick up a few. We then headed to Islington, riding through there to pick up a few mysteries in the centre of town. After, we headed off to catch a ferry, which we missed. Luckily, this meant we had enough time to repair Cccritter7's flat. We caught the next ferry over, grabbing a cache, seeing a massive brown snake, then racing back to try and get the ferry. We missed it, giving us time for lunch, and for my front wheel to go down. Cccritter7 also had some mechanical issues, so we stopped in at CNF for a pit stop. Once finished, back on the road caching. Up through Newcastle to Merewether along to Charlestown. We stopped for a break, then were off towards the bypass, picking up caches along the way. We then headed up through Garden Suburbs, then back home, tired yet joyful from an exhausting and hilly day of riding and caching.

Harry found it, good work buddy

Leaving from other garden suburb cache i turned in reserved road to find undercover commodore policeman!! Quickly whipped the seatbelt on and acted cool!!
But time for the cache, excellent gps but like my previous garden suburb cache, a quick description and hint reading, found cache before even hitting gz, another easy cache but not obvious to muggles!! Tftc
