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.

Cache and the original fence have been removed.

Think it's gawn

Had a look around on this lovely sunny day but no luck

Nope, DNF

I think this has disappeared as the fence is quite new and coords are out accordingly.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Well, three out of three DNFs means were quitting for now! Seriously our luck could not get worse today! Looks like the new fence may equal cache gone. Sawdust on the ground is still fresh and the only sign of the old fence is a paver seen in a log pic. May need replacing as the fence may have been lost in recent fires.

TFTC great hide was a quiet day xx

Rocked up to gate, looked around, saw something pretty obvious, cache discovered! I would agree, this was a quick park & grab. Could probably use a little bit of TLC. SL TFTC PD186

This cache is in extremely poor condition and desperately needs Maintenance.

Thanks for the cache PD186

The cut and paste bit.
We are on a trip from South Africa to the East. First stop Singapore to visit family including a weekend trip to Batam Island, Indonesia. After that we fly to Brisbane, Australia, drive down to Sydney and then back to Singapore. A week with our children and grandchildren and then back home via a stop over in Dubai.

Thanks to all the COs that made our trip more enjoyable. Greetings from South Africa

TFTC. We had spent the morning cleaning around the Motorhome. We had agreed to meet friends later in the day at Heatherbrae. To pass some time we went cached our way there. Quick easy one.

have replaced with a log, easy park and grab.

Cache gone

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

No log... empty shell... needs maintenance

Found it, the termites still own this cache.

Termites have taken over and the cache is somewhere amongst the mud. Needs maintenance.

I came up from Sydney last night and stayed with a good friend in Elermore Vale so I could get a early start up to shoal bay for a day of caching on the power trail.
Stop here for this one on my way I agree with the other the cache is buried in the mud at the top of the posts with a paver on top. I used tools to help get the cache out but to no avail. Thanks for bringing me here.

I think some one has sabotage this. Buried in mud.

Found it buried in mud couldn't get it out

Cache was was quickly located but like others have said it is pretty much destroyed, covered in mud and in urgent need of maintenance. TFTC

Hi,

This cache needs moving. The place it was hidden had a brick ontop, that was that stuck on from the termites that I thought it was glued on. Not much left of it.

Thanks

Thought my partner and I would go night hunting for geocaches, but was a little put off after finding this one and called it a night. It was a good hiding spot but it took us a while to find because the mud had fused the top to the hiding spot. There was no log to write in as the cache is in bad condition.

Spoiler alert for photo.

The mud and termites have completely taken over the hiding spot and geocache. Log is destroyed and the cache needs replacing to something more durable for the environment it's in.

Found it, but no lid & termites have filled it with muck. Dug a little bit, but needs maintenance.

Found it

Literally needed to do some digging to retrieve log. Cache was full of mud. TFTC

Found it

On the trip from Newcastle to Nelson Bay, we could find some containers and log. This cache was also there and he could be found well. [^]
Many thanks to the owner for the care of the containers of the Moorhelmi's from Germany.

Found it, quick driveby on the way to the hotel. TFTC needs some tlc

We found it but needs a little lovin

Needs maintenance.

Cache needs replacing, looks like termites have destroyed much of it as well as the post. Only a paper remnant left. Thanks anyway!

Easy find

Found remnants of the cache. Put a new sheet of paper and plastic bag there for the interim. Tftc

Found 07/09/16, or at least whats left, no lid, no log, fair amount of water, needs urgent replacement, perhaps a new type of cache or camo?

Spoilers in photo i guess

In need of repair

No lid fill of water no log need repair

Lid has broken off and nothing inside. Need a new container. Kids still enjoyed the hunt though. Thanks

Today we travelled from Caringbah to Nelson Bay for a quick holiday. For some reason HanorahTLG managed to find the most containers...

No horsies today. Nor kings, queens, towers, bishops or pawns.

Easy find not a good Cammo stood out a long way. Still dry and all OK TFTC.

Came here once before to watch dressage, funny didn't notice the cache then, but found today.

TFTC

Replace container.

Bag wet inside and mouldy so I replaced with a fresh one and a new bit of paper as the old one was soggy and barely readable. Really needs a new container as per previous log. TFTC though! Lovely spot near lots of grazing roos.

9:44:00 AM. Heading out of the bay after a few days. This cache came up on our GPS so a quick driveby. Log signed. Container breaking up from the sun. Thanks PD186 for placing this cache.

Found it

I replaced the sealed bag it was in ( had been ripped open) and log needs to be replaced ( its all ripped up).

We found it but lid and log was over the fence. Sent my daughter in to get it. Signed log and replaced.

TFTC easy find

Found but missing lid and log

Lid is missing and log is gone

Log was on the ground . Replaced in cache but no lid.

Easy

Found the log and lid to the cache laying in plain sight on the floor. Signed and replace log and fixed the lid back onto of container. May need some maintenance to fix lid. TFTC

No one smuggling this one!! Is starting to look a little damaged though.
Nice quick drive-by find

Quick park and grab, no joke

A quick find but had to replace log and bag.

Good quick find but needs a new log. I will bring one when I next come passed
