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.

Will try to get this back up soon

Was just about to DNF this but the kids wanted to take 1 last look. They found the cache (well what is left of it) but this will need to be replaced! The log is not recognisable apart from the CO's name on the front.
Thanks for bringing us here anyway.

The cache is no longer here, I have thrown the log in the bin it is sludge!

nice hide... we were on the verge of putting this one as a DNF, but then mrryanmurray came up with the goods... Great hide.

Found it today on an 8 hour caching spree with club_bindi and JYGE.
It seems the coords are spot on, however we made this more difficult than it should be. We were just about to admit defeat but I just couldn't let it go... Just one more look in a way that I had not previously done. Woohoo, CIH. Great container. TFTC.

Found by mrryanmurray in a very well thought out spot. club_bindi and I were impressed nice find, we were about to give up.

Had a look around with the geo kids who found it more fun looking at the turtles did not find it or see a garmin sorry

At last! Not sure how I missed it last time.
Dropped off TB

This is going to be a long log: be warned.

Ok so we came out here to Bella Vista to visit my parents' friends. They were having lunch, and we'd already had it so we decided to do this one; it was a less than a kilometre away. So a small stroll down, my brother and I accidentally went in the residential area instead of the park, we went back where we came from and into the reserve. Ok, here's the bridge, let's get looking! We looked and looked and looked but really, no luck. We later realised we had only been searching on side B. Anyway back to the house we went, I guess this cache was going to be a DNF.

We were going to head out again for another nearby cache and I noticed my GPS was gone. Oh no... I ran down their street to see if it'd dropped there, nope. We searched in our backpack, bags, and all around their house that I had been. Nada. I was real sad. In a fit, and speed walked down the street and back to where I can from, checking along the way. My dad'd come too, to try and cheer me up, and he couldn't see anything either. We checked at GZ, and on the way back, with no avail. By now I was getting REALLY fed up. And I hadn't even found the cache.

Later we drove to the park to check again, but coudn't find GPS, though did finally come up with the cache.

Though my GPS has a phone number on it we haven't got a call. If anyone happens to be in the area and sees a yellow garmin GPS lying around, please let us know.

TFTC

Tricky one that you can't see while under. Thanks for the cache.

Nice quick find today, after we googled a bit of chili research, We had an idea of where we were going to look, we searched site B first for some reason but as soon as we searched site A the cache was in hand. TFTC.

Slipped and stepping in the river twice but otherwise had a good time looking for this one

Found this one ok TFTC TNLN SL

After a Bifrost "experience" I was hoping for an easy find, but 'twas not to be. The river is flowing reasonably well due to the interminable rain, so it was a bit of a challenge to make my way under the bridge, as this seemed the likely place based on the hint. Once there I searched unsuccessfully for the container, until eventually I ran out of time due to an appointment across town.

Climbed under the bridge no luck here today

Grabbed this one on the way home from picking up son from work. Funny this area was all bush with a dirt Windsor road when we first Came up this way. Bought land further out and love living out north Richmond.
Thanks Acko

Looked everywhere for this one but couldn't find it. The first part of the hint didn't help, the second didn't mean anything to me.

Expected a really quick find but was a little trickier than anticipated. Tftc

looked high and low on this bridge. no luck.

well this was almost a DNF, spent a while looking, I had my suspicions of where it would be but my first attempt in this spot didn't bring in the goods, this was made more difficult by the wet weather as the creek was flowing nicely! decided to let the phone settle better so spent a while walking back and forth until it settled and then re looked - bingo it was there all the time. TFTC took TB would have swapped but left my cache bag at home - all is good

Dropped TB

Reinstated this today, slightly different container and please put it back exactly where you find it.
Cache on

Checked this one and yep it's gone
Will try to replace very soon

Not found at 2.55pm in the company of Blackie_71 and Browngang. Probably should have just written a note seeing as it has now been disabled.

We looked everywhere!

Thanks anyway The Estreich Clan - a nice spot to take us to.

Dnfd by a team of 3 caches, be surprised if its there.

Looked everywhere for this cache and the only thing I found was a paper wasp nest and some angry wasps. Thankfully they weren't in the mood for attack.

In bed feeling unwell...I had to get outside for a brief moment... Headed this way for a quick grab! TFTC

Nice hide, TFTC

An easy find. Thanks to The Estreich Clan, it was fun to see the ducks. Can’t get a certain Chili Peppers song out of my head now though

Girlfriend and I found it while going for a stroll after work.

TFTC, took Cornish coin, SL cheers:)

First found in the other side of the world.... and by coicidence today is my 1st aniversary, since my 1st found!!
Greatings from Portugal!

IN : GC (i will attach the photo of this gc later on)

Nice quick find. SL TFTC

What a lovely area this is for a walk. No other people around today so making the grab for the cache proved quite easy. The only life about were a few ducks on the pond. I did note the architecture of the nearby homes are rather "boxy". I placed my find sticker in the log and after a few happy snaps the cache was returned. Thanks Ratbag 2 for this cache in an area I didn't know existed.

TFTC .
Pencil needs sharpening.

Reperio at 1755. Well it's not often you get a moonlight walk with jazz playing in the background while you go caching, but that's what I got. With the sound of jazz coming from across the water, I soon arrived at GZ knowing where to find the cache, but with a slight problem...with the rain...there was plenty of water about, so had to use some imprisoned climbing skills to retrieve the cache. No problem in the end, but I'm sure some might struggle getting this one, especially if any more water is present.

Gratias E Clan.

Easy find on a sunny winteerday.

Great spot. TNLN

Tnln

First find in our new family activity.

Great spot, have walked around this and what I'm sure will turn out to be many other GC locations. Good hide, the hint suits well.

Note: Pencil needs a sharpen.

Sneaky one! Nice

Quite an easy find in a lovely area on a cloudy afternoon.
I didn't plan to go caching so unfortunately had no swaps.

Bifocal and Spectacle found this on a relaxing Sunday drive. Left TB took badge. TFTC

Found by Geo Dad, we rated the clue!

Found it straight away after reading the clue. Took Vegas chip and left "Lokeren, Belgium" Unite for Diabetes Travel Bug. TFTC

I was sitting exams at a local business when I decided to reward myself with a cache or two. This area has been built out a lot since I lived in Sydney. What beautiful houses surround this lovely area. I wonder what its like to live in such grandeur! There was quite a few muggles walking around feeding the ducks. Waited till they left then located the cache. Took trackable and left Vegas chip. TFTF.(Oh, and I wont know if I passed those exams till they are expressed posted to the States and back again!!!!)

nice hide. nearly lost zip lock bag in creek. dropped off TB. TFTC

A lunch meeting at lakeside restaurant. Quick find as I was a bit early. TFTC.

Easy find after decyphering the clue. sl tftc

Few people about except for those feeding the local inhabitants nearby. SL. TFTC.

A quick one on the way home, fortunately easy to find. Cache in good order, TNLN - thanks.

I came to GZ two weeks ago but the rain got too heavy to look and the river was at least a foot deep!?!

Today we had a nice, easy find.

TNLNSL. TFTC.

These new suburbs out this way just seem a little too sterile, even the rocks in the creek match the colour tones of the dreary same as, same as houses...

Nothing wrong with the cache though, another great TEC hide, thanks TEC.

This was 2 of 7 for a night time run. As per past logs, the sleeping ducks wernt too happy being woken up. The local cafes had the music blaring which drifted over the pond. TFTC

Considering it was very dark when we went looking for this one, all the ducks were sitting on the river edge ready for bed & weren't to happy with us going for a nice stroll along the path, was a little tricky as it was slightly raining so sent geohusband down under, after a short period of searching with the torch...wallah...thanks for bringing us to this beautiful little area

This was a quick find while in the area for a few hours caching. TFTC

Forgot to log until today
First find in a few months, took some friends out looking for it =)
TFTC, loved the hint haha

Nice hide in a beautifull area.TFTC

Nice quick find. Completed the particulars and then back to the car before i melted. too hot for caching today.
TNLNSL TFTC

Great spot for a hide. Took Lucy & Roo pathtag. Will replace in another place in a few weeks. TFTC

Harro understood the song reference so headed straight for the spot with Chook in tow. No problems finding the cache.

We took nothing but left Lucy & Roo's pathtag from their overland adventure in there.

The lead has fallen out of the pencil so need to take your own writing implement. Otherwise, all good. TFTC

Nice place. Found cache quite quickly.
TNLN SL TFTC

Cheers

cool spot but goodie bandit and best friend had no luck and 1000 spider webs on us but thanks for the adventure TFTC

Fourth find with Sensible Shoes this morning. Nice and quiet around here and not too many spiders.
SL TNLN TFTC

A fairly straightforward find, with Sensible Sis making the scramble to the cache. TNLNSL TFTC.

Easy find after using part of the hint. Didn't know of any hot pepper songs to help with hint. TFTC
Cheers
dkmacca

Quick find after a short stroll from car parking spot. Nice area and no muggles around today.
TNLNSL. TFTC.

Thanks for bringing us here. Enjoyed our walk around the waterways.

New to Geocaching and first find, with some help from the owner. hopefully first of many!

Visited this one today to help a friend get started, dropped off some dog tags while we were here

Found! Spider city!

Fairly quick find here, just needed to work out the right angle to approach so as not to get the feet wet. Otherwise no dramas though after rain it could be fun. Thanks Estreich Clan.

Took us a while to find this! Ewes watch out For the spiders!!

For someone who is semi-afraid of spiders, i don't know why i keep torturing myself by visiting these caches at night! spiders galore... but i wouldn't expect any less considering the location! went with geodaughter to test my new torch.. cache spotted with "phone a friend" life line.. i probably would have searched a little more extensively before calling him during the day, but i didn't want to get unnecessarily close to spiders! lol

I'm trying to catch up on past logs today. I've let 140 caches pass without logging them. So I can't say anything specific about your cache. I'm only 10 years old, and while I love caching, I sometimes like doing other things rather than logging my finds when I get home. Sorry. Thanks for putting your cache out for me to enjoy.

Today my dad said I have to catch up on all the logs I have missed. I've missed about 130 because I like caching more than I like writing the logs. So sorry this is just a standard comment. Thanks for hiding your cache for me to enjoy.

An interesting area. Our GPS took us close, which had us parked on the verge, but we were blocked by a locked gate, so we had to take a longer way around a fence to get to GZ. The cache was found quickly. We looked at the houses on the way back. Very modern and neat, but so lacking in character that many of them have signs out the front announcing "Private Residence", just in case we think they're sculptures. Even on of the islands in the creek where the little duckies live there was a similar sign planted upon it. Rather than the Red Hot Chill Peppers, I was reminded of that other, much older song - "...everywhere a sign". I left a TB. Thanks for bringing us here.

4:11pm
Easy find. Took the TB

Cheers

The first of a couple belonging to the Eistrich clan which we did today. After we found our way around, it was a nice quick find. A pretty outlook! TFTC

Relogging my old finds.

Found with team_extremepc
This had me running in circles until I sat down and thought it out
nice hide
Thanks also took travel bug and will find a new home for it.

Nice quick find although it took a second look after putting on the spider proof gloves that were ultimately not required took Geo coin “Drinkers Slug” not yet logged, so I will wait before logging, left TB “Quick little fix”. TFTC

Found it and dropped TB, Thanks for bringing us here

sevabo and I found it easy. TFTH SL

I Can't say it was eas, specially when muggles around,,, coordinates are good, but it tends to play abit close to the metal structure

TFTC

Found by Nanny and Bo on a wet Sunday morning.
We had previously missed this at an earlier visit, but with a clue from another cacher, we found it - but not too quickly.
The camo was good.

With all the rain I had to watch the footing in reaching this one today. Nice area thanks.

Nice day got busted mite be the start of things to come but we will cross that bridge when it comes.
Thanks to DeputyDog for your help.

Steveishere.

Nearly gave up on this one and then at the last minute found it in a fairly obvious place!
Took an Eraser and left a koala keyring
TFTC

Meet up with steveishere for this hunt ..... Took longer than it should have , with GPS not wanting to settle.
It eventually did settle and cache was located
TFTC SL

A night time hunt and with the description and Hint I was on my way. Only one possible area to search really. Gps was at GZ, so I looked and apart from a few nice spider webs, complete with spiders, I found the cache. SL. TNFN. Thank You

We did it with Smith1710 and took a little bit but fun

TFTC

Beautiful area, nicely hidden.
Left a Morristown Benchmark Micro Geocoin. Not quite near the ocean as we wanted to get it, but we got it close to water.
