As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. 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/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Muggled. Pending a fix or a whole new cache on the site.

Found the area and checked fairly thoroughly but couldn't find the cache.....possibly no longer there

Visiting the region, so today we wanted to find a few caches in the Lemon Tree Passage Area.
This would have to be my favourite for the day. A little bit different to the rest.
Favourite point given

Liked this one. Cool way to work out the cache location. Found quickly as no one around. Nice area.

1750 GAFF3 After an earlier trip down to Jesmond to catch up with the older son, but not having enough time to re-do this one, I was back at last. Had read the previous logs, so was a bit more prepared for what the directions required (and not my interpretation).
Not as much rubbish around this time, just a piece of broken glass near GZ
Easier find, TNLN
Just B2B ingot, and trackable shirt thru"

1000 - 1100 DNF, aah the joys of caching - 'paperless', well, one piece with all their terrain/difficulty ratings. Wish I'd read Spikey Mickeys note, even though I did look all along the supposed distance on the correct bearing. Yes, semantics.
CITOed a 'doggy doo' bag full of rubbish while I was there so as not be too suspicious looking.
TFTC TeamAJKW - May be back some other day

Great location - great find TFTC

We lined up and doubled and there it was, just like it said. But what does L.O.S. mean, did we miss something? TFTC TeamAJKW.

Once I identified the Australian animals on the pole’s I soon found the other two, and then simply stepped out my way to the cache, thanks.

Reperio at 1255.

Was enjoying the day with family at Nelson's Bay, so while they headed out on a boat to watch the dolphins, I headed off to grab a few caches. On approach to the coords, I looked up and saw where the last was, so given the distance, the cache location was spotted straight away. Wandered over and soon had the cache in hand. A nicely put together cache.

Gratias TeamAJKW.

I doubled the distance from first to last and had a good look in the trees, but nothing! [:(!]
Had a read again, and then just halved the double distane, and cache in hand.
Maybe its just a matter of semantics. Red Face

Running round in the rain looking for this one. We felt very clever when we worked it out.

Thankyou TeamAJKW! We found an echidna burrowing around the rocks near the seats. Absolutely fantastic!

Great spot and an interesting puzzle. Close to homes do had to be careful no-one was watching. Thank you for the cache.

Fun cache in a great spot, simple but effective puzzle, well done, TFTC.

We decided to spend Mothers' Day picking up a few caches out this way as it has been ages since we've been out here. We had previously tried to find this one but had no luck. This time we seemed to find ourselves in the same spot, but after reading PD186's log we got a bit of a hint and changed our search location and thankfully we found the cache. TNLNSL TFTC

I had a look for this one some time ago with out any luck so as it started out as a fine day I decided to go for a ride to tanilba and do some caching as a bonus.

This time I read the clue correctly and spotted the cache location 3/4 of the way there.

It helps when you start looking in the correct spot not 20 to 30m past gz

Cache number 39 for a Marathon cache hunt over the Easter weekend. A busy weekend of Madstars, great views, smelly spots, lovely beaches, high mugggle challenges, bush bashing, rock hopping, wet feet, meeting other cachers. Thanks to all the owners of the Geocachers in this area, you certainly made a great weekend away for the dkmacca team.
Cheers

Did a bit of head scratching to start with but came up with the cache.
Nice spot.

Found while in the Tilligerry area.

This is a beaut spot and great facilities for the locals.

Really enjoyed the location.

Good cache that it a bit out of the box.

Thanks TeamAJKW

Found it after a drive around the area. Mrs.Morgan seems to think this park will be great in a few years after all the trees and bushes grow. Good spot for locals. Quickly found the cache in a likely spot. TFTC SL.
 
14-Jan-11
Misunderstood the info and was going to go twice and far as I was meant to but saw an obvious place so stopped and there it was. Thought this size conainer would be more of a micro than small? First to sign the new log. TFTC
 
05-Jan-11
A new container and log has been placed.
 
22-Nov-10
After each log for a non find I usually check on this cache and normally it is where it should be. Alas tonight there is no sign of it and has clearly been found by a non cacher muggle type. I have reset the hide and if that remains undisturbed I will replace the cache shortly. Cheers, TeamAJKW. PS. I could clearly see that The Rats had been looking in the right spot!
 
20-Nov-10
#4752 We had no luck here today. The obvious spot turned nothing. Maybe next time.
 
20-Nov-10
No need for me to add another DNF here but with The Rats and FarmerFrentzen everything made sense except for the cache being in it's hidey hole. A good idea nonetheless.
 
26-Sep-10
Whilst travelling on the way I couldn't help wondering what this was all about. The name of the cache didn't help as the meaning totally eluded me. On site and quickly worked it all out and stepped out the distance and the only likely spot nearby turned up trumps. No problem with muggles but on a busy day it would be a problem.
 
22-Sep-10
Thanks Team AJKW

I will check it out again next chance I have to get there as there is another one I have to get in the area too
 
12-Sep-10
found the park and lined them up traveled the required distance and looked all around. even checked still in line several times. found a empty snap lock bag but no sign of the cache.
 
12-Sep-10
I have checked again this evening, as I did yesterday evening, and the cache is in place. I must say it is surprising visible with torch light. Given the reasonable number of finds I am happy the description is ok. For the benefit of PD186 & Jumpedin2it it is a few extra paces past the exact double of the distance but is certainly in line. TeamAJKW.
 
11-Sep-10
Not a great way to start the day with a DNF! We found the the four items and lined them up. We then paced out the distance and doubled it to find the end result. We checked we were still in line with the four itmes and searched and searched - but came up empty handed. We would be keen to know what the second additional hint is going to be that is meant to have been posted after the FTF.
 
06-Sep-10
Once I had worked out how to read the instructions, it was straight forward. Thanks for bringing me here, Nice little spot.

Found after a short search- the basketball ring looks a little of place in this wonderfully tranquil setting! TNLN TFTC SL
 
19-Jun-10
Found at 2.25pm GAFF3. We walked from the information centre and soon worked out what to do - thanks to the clue, otherwise we would be scratching our heads for some time)
There was a group of basketballers who looked at us in wonder as we goose stepped in a bush direction.Red Face
Thanks TeamAJKW

A nice & easy puzzle cache once we worked out how to get to it. Our map must be out of date as the roads to get here aren't on there.

Very nice hide it slots almost perfectly into place! =)
Just getting into the craze and this was a great surprise so close to my house

Big Matt and Shell, After a careful re-read of the cache types there is certainly some argument to the cache type being called a Offset multi or Mystery/Puzzle cache. I have also had a look at the rest of this park and can see some potential to make a bigger multi using L.o.S. Glad you found it anyway. Cheers, TeamAJKW.

Bugger !! Drove over 1000 Km to get this FTF but beeten by one hour !!! No puzzle here. We should have been out of bed earlier . TFTC
 
26-Apr-10
This was our 3535th overall find.

Found at 10:02 AM. Shell and I arrived at the little park and walked past the starting point but it didn't take us too long to work out our LOS and we were off. Surprisingly we made a quick find, and an even bigger surprise was to see a blank log. Our second *FTF* for the day!Smile Come on MADSTARS, you must still be in bed...

Thanks TeamAJKW for the cache, we were surprised this was a puzzle, I would have thought it would have been a multi?
