Hi tmdbrowne,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
Cant find your cache. Have looked in logs and under leaf litter in the location. Please confirm if it is still in location or maybe it has been moved or pilfered ! Love to find this cache.
Find #12.After a short bush bash we found a small film container with paper and a tree of life charm inside it! Hint: Rusty Car.
Found by help hunters, little bit of a walk but not far! Great placement. Paper needs replacing but we were unable to replace it due to time constraints.
A short walk in to collect this one. Happy to see it is still going.Caching with RoddyC and imbunda.TFTCache tmdbrowne
My last day before continuing on my business trip to Abu Dhabi afternoon. Checked out from hotel in morning and went to find few caches at Seven Hills. TFTC.You are looking for micro
Could not find the cache. The mosquitos were brutal so we were a bit rushed.
tmdbrowne I found your cache Not Far By Car on 1/2/2024, 11:15am. This is my find 6375 and find # 2 today. Found it after a brief search. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN
We were in the area recently for an event. Never been to so many events before .....We found this cache and signed the log.Tftc tmdbrowne
TFTC smile 17457 out and about on a lovely day having a great time finding a few local caches after the Event Thank you tmdbrowne for placing this cache for our enjoyment
Cool I dont know what to say about this one.Smaller than description suggests we exchanged a trinket!
On holiday from uk and staying nearby I wonder what the history of the car is ??
Found fairly quickly.... thanks 2 a kind, recent cacher...How on earth did this get here??
I dropped off my daughter at the airport so decided to head across the Gateway for some geocaching as it’s been a long time since I ventured to the Southside.
I did the short walk from the nearby street. Found the logsheet, amazingly dry after the recent rain, and the lid but not the container. So I’ve placed both in a film canister and put under some small metal pieces under the car for extra protection. I left the lid in case the container turns up and they can be reunited. Tftc

Black geocache capsule found discarded in leaf litter - capsule was empty but still a fun find
Looked for hours and still could not find. Very very hard due to its sutroundings it blends in.
TFTC. The hint is misleading. The container is very small and not clear or a clip lock container. Have verified same cache number. The title of the cache is more of a clue. Cheers
Stay safe while getting this one yall, tetanus can be one hell of a thing, TFTC
Great cache, definitely a tricky one since the info on the cache is old. It is smaller now, only a tiny cache. Hints below helped if you're struggling.
such a cool cache, no longer in a clear container and much smaller that expected, but nice find
Didn’t think we would find this one with all the dnfs but found it after seeing a comment. much smaller than expected, must have been replaced. TFTC
Didn’t find the cache or replacement bison but admittedly didn’t look too long as I had picked this one out when I thought there was room for swaps.
Loved seeing the wreck - that’s two I’ve seen in the bush today!

Stood on a stone lizard during the hunt took a while and no longer in a clear medium container said by op
GPS jumping all over the place. Is it in the car or around it? We disturbed quite a few spiders looking for the Cache.
Found the cunning blighter
Having read a previous writer
Put my name in the log
It's a little bit sog!
Made sure the lid was on tighter.

Was impressed by the spongy undergrowth that led us straight to GZ where the cache was found to safe and dry. TFTC
Spotted GZ as we entered the bush land area and made our way across the spongy grasses towards it. We used technology to help here so that we didn’t have to stick our hands anywhere scary and got lucky with our camera spying the cache in the first place we looked. Thanks tmdbrowne
Had to get this 12 year old hiding near a wreck. Took a bit of looking and feeling around as it isn’t what the old hint was. Think steel and magnetic and out of sight and eventually you will find it. It may require running your hands around so be careful with sharp edges.
Thanks for maintaining this older one

Visited today to check after a few DNFs. I can confirm it's still here and in good nick.
I did not find this one today which was a little disappointing but I hope to be back soon to get this one.
Found with Sam! Hoping to hide a geocoin, as this wasn't listed as a micro cache, but I didn't check the log before visiting. Is it possible for the listing to be updated?
We saw this one was in need of some TLC and has had no response from the CO and really should have had a recent "Needs Maintenance" log.
Anyways, we have replaced it with a small black bison sized container that is magnetic and is positioned down low.

Out with Team Barritts for the day, picking up smiley's.
After parking close we made our way to the GZ and was lucky for a quick find. All good here, tftc!

Found nothing but a nest of baby brown snakes . Freaked me out. Don't go near the rusty old car . Cache needs to be checked or replaced . Thank you
Obvious where it was meant to be. Needs maintenance and frustrating that people are logging a phantom as a find.
Nothing here. As others have stated there’s a few swaps scattered around, so yeah, I'm not claiming the find. No sign equals no find.
Wanted to do a couple of hours of quiet caching and Nayfee volunteered to come with me.
Sad that it isn't here. Needs maintenance.

Out for an early walk and came to this cache. As per the previous posts this one needs attention. There are toys for exchange dotted around but no logbook and no container. Thanks for bringing me to this place. Nice spot. TFTC.
Today, I started the day with jesswrigley partaking in Mitchelton parkrun, followed by a few miscellaneous errands and shopping. In the early afternoon, I decided to head out solo, with the general strategy to keep heading south to time with a night multi-cache planned. Several Adventure Labs were visited and completed, such as *Hills on the Southside*, *Redlands Coast*, *Cleveland Heritage Precinct*, and *Historical Redlands*. Hence, quite a few different areas were visited, starting from Seven Hills Bushland Reserve, Wellington Point, and Cleveland. I finished up the afternoon/evening with a walk in Kidd Street Conservation Area, targeting and completing *Sleepy Hollow* multi-cache.
What a cool car wreck nearby, and fitted the geocache's title. After grabbing a few snaps, I started to look for this geocache, only to find it rather exposed nearby. I was very surprised to see it has lasted like this? The cache container was in good shape, but there didn't appear to be any logbook inside? Unfortunately I hadn't brought any spare logbooks with me, so I stamped the container side, but it certainly needs something soon (next Geocacher perhaps?). I also took the TB that was contained inside, for onwards travels (although I don't think it was logged to this geocache). Finally, I tried to camouflage the geocache better, but I do wonder if it would be better hidden to somewhere else nearby, or even inside the wreck itself? Maybe it is fine where it is, given it has lasted all this time for the last 11 years. Thanks tmdbrowne for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
