Hi RinRis,
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 28 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 listing and post a new note every 28 days 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.

This is the second time we have been back here. The GPS bounces all over the place. Still a DNF.
Found in the way back from KYCK in Katoomba; took a while for GPS to zero in but eventually the cache was in hand. Quite a bit waterlogged but that’s to be expected after recent times.
TFTC!

After a botany tour of the nearby track, and stopping for lunch at the picnic area, I snuck away from the group to find the cache. It was a bit out in the open and the log was completely soaked, so I replaced with a bit of natural camo.
Found it but couldn’t write in the log book. There was water in the container but very good spot!
Tftc - after looking through looking at caches I saw this cache has been found recently so I went out with team trashy and straight away spotted the cache when walking up and hid it better
Found this opened and tossed all around. Resealed everything and hid again in the area
Took a lot of rummaging around to find it near someone's private property, but it is there.
Unable to find as GPS would not settle and it advised us that we were within 1m along someones private property?
Caching with oldmorty on our way down the mountains.
Locating GZ had us walking round in circles.
Then saw where the cache might be, and i was right.

OCW frazeydaze. On the way back to Sydney after a break at Blackheath we stopped off here for a quick park and grab. TFTC RinRis
Left the geokids on the play equipment while we did the short walk to gz. Surprised to see an old bench seat in the vicinity of gz. Left a lizard at lizard. The large lizard also wanted to wear our cool dragon skin hat with our hat patch for others to discover. Tnsl TFTC
#758 - Easy find, beautiful little reserve here, if love to live up this way! Not much log room left, had a spare log book on our bag so left it behind. TFTC!
A great little haven in the heart of suburbia. In addition to the bio that Bisygisy has thoughtfully placed in the description, Justice Else-Mitchell was also an avid bushwalker being a member of several Sydney clubs, and from all reports was up there with some of the "tiger walkers" of the time. I was also fortunate enough to have dinner with him at a valuation conference (I think in Bathurst) back in the 1970's where he delivered the keynote speech. I found him to be an entertaining and charismatic character.
we took 10 minutes to find it! cute little hidden park. silly me forgot my pen
Saw the lizard.
Nice quick find in a lovely quiet park.
Love the preservation of the trees!

The boss was coming to Penrith today to visit a friend who had had minor surgery yesterday, so I decided to come with her and then go off and do a caching run from Yarramundi to Springwood. It's been years (indeed decades) since I've driven along Springwood/Hawkesbury Road so it was great to do it again and to see how much has changed over the years ... and to pick up 18 finds (mostly of the park & grab variety ... no bush walks for me on a 40 degree day!) along the way. This was probably the longest bush walk I tackled but not too bad in the heat of the day and was able to make a quick find once I reached GZ. Thanks for the find RinRis.
We are based in Richmond for a few days and what a wonderful choice of caches. Today we headed towards Springwood and surrounds and this was one of the caches we targetted and found. Thanks to RinRis for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area. 
Expected something more creative from name and location but a quick smilie was still welcome. What I didn’t expect was to see my first snake while caching (yes, first in 8 years!) disappearing down a drain next to where I’d parked. Definitely not a lizard so approached car more cautiously than the simple scrub-bash to GZ.
