One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep 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, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

I like how you managed to squeeze several word plays into the cache name, and the hide is pretty good considering how exposed it potential is. Nice and quick find, TFTC.

August 8 - Cache 8

I walked around GZ the long way and only saw the dangly bit after a full circumnavigation.

An excellent hide and I really like the log book very compact but spacious. Well done.

Thanks to a previous visit when this cache was out of commision, I knew exactly which tree to look around. Once I located it, I certainly needed grippy fingers and small hands to reach the container. Signed and dated, and I was off.

Thanks for the cache tygriffic.

Woo found it. Me and my brother were assaulted by mosquitoes and ticks on trying to reach it. Probably serves us right for going after a full day of rain. Still it was a great find.
 
18-Jan-13
Found on the way home from Jamboree while visiting a muggle friend (not so muggle now) and she spotted this one. A great way to create a new cacher Wink TFTC

25-Dec-12
I told my little nephews about Geocaching and they wanted to go out and find some "treasure".
In between showers we took the chance and also tested out the big one's new bike and went out for a quick ride around the park. OMG - I forgot the mosi replent and almost got eaten alive!! Surprised[xx(]
Whilst I was making entering the log the boys smacked all the mosies and I ended up with only 34 bites within 30 secs![B)]

Thx owner for bringen us here to this magnificant tree.
Thx boys for rescuing me.Smile

We were able to meet up with friends DiMorgan and got together to do some caching around the Newcastle area. It was a fun day out and this was one of the caches we were able to find. The clue helped.
Thanks to tyggriffic.

Headed to Newcastle today with Liz & Bruce to find a few caches & to visit the many locations around town. A nice quick find after arriving at GZ. It was the good clue that made it so easy.
Took the geo coin

Found just before I was about to give up, TFTC!!
 
18-Mar-12
Found at 10.10am GAFF1 in the company of Robmc. We were discussing the issues that we have with caches hidden in these structures, however today we were able to walk straight up to it and pull it out in the first spot we looked - has to happen once in a while doesn't it?
Thanks tyggriffic.
 
18-Mar-12
Sometimes these items can be a pain to search, but Pprass walked straight up to this one.
Despite all the recent rain the park was quite dry today.
Thanks, Robmc.
 
29-Feb-12
Our first cache for 29th Feb and its in a fig, hope these aren't going to become a memory too.
 
Managed to find this one but the hint did help.
Don't mind these tree's as hiding spots, not too many places to look.
Thank for placing this cache, cheers GUIO

Its a sad week for Figs in Newcastle. Thought we needed to give those remaining our moral support.
