Hi rinsemesocks,
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 45 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 45 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.

Felt the vibrations of the train above as I logged my 4th find. New to this but loving it!
Not being all that familiar with Erskinville I wandered around aimlessly for a while (which side of the train tracks???) but got there in the end. TFTC
First time here,
I've been despreate to find the first cache since the first day, yet I failed every single time.
But today, something told me to visit this little town with a little station. A nice and quiet town, indeed.
And... moments later, I found my first cache! Oh boy, who knows how happy I was when I spotted it.
TFTC!

A nice easy find. Unlike one of the loggers below, I went straight to the dot on my map and found the cache. I then started thinking about how I would write a log saying that the name should be changed since there was no mural nearby!!! However, I found and admired the mural. Thanks for bringing me her.
Out with JJCC on a walk around town exploring some back streets and decided to pick up a few caches along the way. Nice quick find at GZ and with the cache in hand we both signed the log before replacing as found. Both the cache container and log are in good condition. Thanks for the cache rinsemesocks.

Found the cache. Nice little trinkets inside. Hiding in plain sight even though it was a little difficult to fish it out of its hole. TFTC
TFTC. Out for an afternoon stroll, have been meaning to pick up this one for a while.
Hi, my name is ziggiau and it’s been 23 days of a caching slump - until now. Finally my drought has been broken with a stroll through Macdonaldtown. Who knew it could be so still and quiet so close to the busy railway lines. A slightly difficult extraction while avoiding muggle attention, the log has plenty of space but has seen better days. Replaced and followed up by picking up the nearby Munzee. Thanks rinsemesocks for bringing me here.
Was at Carriage works today counting votes for the recent state election and thought I could use some sunshine.
The mural Three Proud People is awesome and a great reminder of how we can use our privledge to uplift eachother in these troubled times Peter Norman did us proud

Found on a humid but blustery evening. The local arachnid population was feeling frisky this evening and I feared I wouldn't be brave enough to get to the cache, but once I spotted the right place it turned out to have fewer residents than other spots nearby, thank goodness!
As per other recent comments, the log is damp, and is actually going mouldy. Needs to be replaced.

This was my third go at this and I blame being such a Newby (I'm sure there's a geo term for that) for only every looking the mural itself, not the blimmin locator dot. Anyway, was easy when I figured that out. Log book still pretty damp but workable
Last find of the lovely caching session with the geo partner and the geo coach. Thank you for the find rain doctor, always fun to listen to your rants. Tftc (!Wet log book!).
In the area with Trodectes and decided tro go for this one. Walked to GZ and quickly had CIH. Log signed and returned. Decided to have a look at the mural, but that took us a lot longer to find than the cache. Eventually found it. TFTC
Found with Coybear2000. It was a nice morning for a walk and so we headed for this cache. We arrived at GZ and started searching for the mural. There were some muggles walking along the lane and we waited for them to move on. Then we went for the cache, it was in the first place we looked. Log signed and all replaced and we saw where the mural was. TFTC.
Great fund &great spot. Finally one that isn’t wet and I can write my name on it. TFTC
Heading for a concert at the Manning Bar, I got off at Macdonaldtown instead of Redfern to try and pick up a few caches. I found this one pretty quickly, although I would have found it quicker if I hadn't assumed that it would take a bit more work to reach it. Nice spot for a cache, and the link to a podcast to check out is appreciated too.
At first the GPSr put me about 6m off the GZ but once it sorted its self out i had the CIH pretty quick.
If the mural is what i think it is than its pretty abstract. I never would have guessed that that is what its referring to. Ive seen the famous photo of the three of them up on the podium.
Thanks.

First find a few years ago. Can’t believe how close I live to it and never knew it was there
Finding the cache took me about half as long as finding the mural. Ahh there it is! Thanks.
First ever try. Couldn't find it and was too scared of creepy crawlies to go further in!
Another interesting walk to this cache, I came up from "The Small Brown Fox" and crossed two train lines even though it wasn't very far! One of them was a bridge over the top of the line and the other one was underneath!
I approached to GZ and almost got run over by a few bikes down the skinny path.
But once I got through the area was completely dead and not a single person in sight.
So I took a seat, grabbed the cache from the obvious location after reading the hint, and had a bit of a rest while signing the log.
Thanks rinsemesocks! I remember finding lots of your caches around here last visit to Sydney
this was my first one for this visit though! A good hide too, I can see this one never going missing if people are discreet!

Located at 12:21pm. Quick easy find after some brief family business in Newtown before heading off to work. Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!
Nice quick find as decided I was early for something and these crappy little station had captured my attention so thought I would get off and do some caches here. Thanks
Found with Terri2south while on our three week adventure from Seattle to Portland, Los Angles, Hawaii, Fiji, New Zealand, and Australia then home. Many miles and adventures along the way.
Finally having some time to catch up on some logging that has happened in my adventures with Smoke69. Thankful to all the cache owners and their cache placements to make our adventures possible. TFTC
Thanks to the generous hint it was a quick find in this back lane. I don't know how the CO keeps finding these out of the way places. TFTC rinsemesocks.
RMS, you take me to places I have passed for years but never investigated and you must have the freshest breath in Sydney. TFTC.
2nd cache of the day. Hopefully going to get more on the other side of the tracks.
