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.

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 30 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 page and post a note every month or so to keep everyone up to date.

Tried to find this cache, well flat ground next to a creek is usually where water will rise and pick up things that can be floated away. I couldn't find the cache either and don't think the owner has acknowledged that it needs maintenance.
 
31-Dec-12
Found the hide that once housed it, using ollave's co-ordinates. The cache is gone. We searched for 15mins all around the area.
 
29-Dec-12
Didn't find it this time around. Will come back another time.
 
02-Dec-12
I read the logs. and tried what everyone had said. but still didn't find it. I do like how this creek system has been developed though, so thanks bobbbster1999.
 
18-Sep-12
I think everybody has already said it. Tftn

Took a while but we finally found it... Co ords are off and alot of people around..
Mum, dad & 2 year old = cars team
 
11-May-12
Tried the other co-ords in the recent posts, they took me to a spot where a local cat had torn apart a duck! The original co-ords didn't help much either. Might just be my phone though. Eventually tried a different theory and found it within seconds. TFTC
 
05-Apr-12
WITH A BIT OF HELP FROM THE LAST FEW LOG WE FOUND IT FINAL
 
14-Mar-12
Found this one with Paco Aliandro while grabbing a few in the area. Couldn't find at first but after reading a few previous logs, particulary by EuDes, realised we needed to search in a different spot. Find quickly made by Paco once true co ords were obtained. TFTC!
 
14-Mar-12
Using EuDes' co-ords this cache was a quick find. Nice, large container. Nice, area. TFTC.

Second time searching for this one, TFTC.
 
26-Sep-11
Found, but using another finder's coordinates. Thanks for the cache, although I felt a little conspicuous.
 
15-Sep-11
Nice spot. Found the cache at 7:20pm after spreading the torchlight search a bit wider. Found the cache about 10m away from the coords.

This was the second of two while on my extended way to work this morning. It took me a little while to hone in on it but I finally found the stash at 09:05 about 9 metres away from where the O3 was telling me that GZ was. I've put in the co-ordinates I took for reference: S37° 37.407 E145° 04.112.

A very nice area for a cache Big Grin.

TNLNSL. Thanks bobbbster1999.

22/07/2011 21:13 Found: #571 This is another trip out of an evening. Bribed the kids (AAA an Caching Wizard) with take-away and after initial grumbles they were placated with the golden arches. Initially I was going to do 'Dead Centre' but the young en's were adamant they were not going to enter a cemetery late at night (Go figure?). Arriving here we searched as per the clue until I read the logs like EVERYone else Smile and used Riddells's note to find the cache. Oddly enough my GPS didn't quite 0m at GZ but widening the search a little soon gave us the cache. The kids used the headlamps and handheld torches with AAA seeing how far the beam would go when set to the narrowest setting. Even the headlamp has amazing power and made the search real easy. Are you sure this cache size is small? It's more like a regular. TFTC bobbbster1999 TNLN SL

My first cache! Just down the road from my house Smile Thanks for the fun!
 
20-Jun-11
Again, like a few others here, this was my second shot at this one! I was coming back for another go at the Exponential growth cache anyhow, and looking at the logs on this one made this a lot easier. TFTC!
 
18-Jun-11
Hi great little spot not as easy as I thought but fun Angel found the park first made it a little harder cheers
 
16-May-11
got this one on the second go! Like others I had to come back and read up on the other posts. TNLNSL

Thanks for the cache. Found with TrynaFindaCache and IITom23II
 
25-Apr-11
If only I read the logs before looking then a 20 minute ordeal would have only been 5 minutes
Great spot for such a large cache. Despite being right in plain site of surrounding houses, no-one around to distract or see me while I was looking for it.
Swapped a little green thingy (don't know what it is) for a boot from a Barbie doll.

One day I will learn to read the logs & description properly before I go out to search or caches. Saw the rocks and knew it would be very 'needle in the haystack', gave a halfhearted look while watching my battery dip below 10% and was walking away when just the hint of treasure caught the corner of my eye. Retrieved GC.
 
30-Mar-11
Found with IITom23II, nice find after reading Riddles log. Dropped GC. SL TFTC
 
30-Mar-11
Found with TrynaFindaCache. Followed the GPS to this one but no luck. We then read the recent comments and found it instantly. TFTC TNLN
 
13-Mar-11
Found in the company of Alansee. A previous finder has relocated this cache to a very good spot - maybe the owner could check on this cache and update the hint? TFTC
 
13-Mar-11
Found with lochb today. We both thought that the new hide was quite good! Thanks to bobbster1999 for showing us this little spot.

Found by caughtatwork at 14:22 on 5/03/2011
Found quite a few meters from where GZ was taking me after reading the previous logs.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks bobbbster1999 for this cache. Maybe the hint needs a little work as the GPS takes us the requisite distance, but the cache has been relocated slightly since it was hidden.

I was out this way with the young daughter and we decided to drop by to stretch our legs and do a cache.
The regular sized container was a pleasant surprise as was the swag. K had a quick sort through it and came up for air with some goodies clutched in her hands. After we made the swaps we headed over to look at the ducks.
Took: KoT pathtag and marble. Left: stagetree pathtag, ring and shell.

Cheers bobbbster1999, thanks for showing us this little park.
 
20-Feb-11
Found 1.00pm
Having read the previous logs we knew where to look for this one. Nice sized cache.

Took Nothing Left KoT Pathtag
Thanks bobbbster1999

A father and son were playing nearby but we must have scared them off as we walked across the grass.
Nice easy found due to earlier logs.
Thanks
 
20-Feb-11
I remember coming up here years ago to find Quasar's caches on the hillside, wonder if they are still there?
After reading a few logs, especially Riddell's we knew what and where to look for this one.
Nice sized container for here

Found by Bob at 1155

I was on my way through the northern suburbs picking up some of these caches that have been on the radar for quite a while. I've visited the heights surrounding this spot on a couple of occasions, but have been down amongst the house before. It looked like a rather nice development and I found a good spot to park and take a stroll over towards the creek for the cache. A preliminary scan of the rocks didn't look to hopeful, so I gave the logs a quick check and, thanks to Riddell, re-focussed where I was looking and found it quite quickly.

Thanks bobbbster1999 - sorry for the late log, I'm way behind with my paperwork

Found today while on another of our caching runs with Blacklegend (Marshy). Looked and looked in the wrong spot then a hint from previous logs led us to the right spot. Thanks for the hide.
 
24-Jan-11
3rd find for the day with my good caching mate, Marty (Quasar3671). Looked in all the wrong places, until i read a previous log, then we were all over it. TFTC.

Found by The Empire @ 10:05am with The Lone Random and pocketrocket&friends
Find number 3 of 12 today. A tour of pocketrocket territory to clean up some long walking caches. The cache has been put in a better location than the original (thanks Riddell) and the hint (still doesn't apply) needs to be changed.

Well that was all too easy.
The cache was out on open ground and the lid was off!
While the contents remained in the container, the "controller" and log book where on the ground near the lid.
You are lucky the log was dry. A glad bag would help.
We have re hidden it away from the rocks, in the plants.
Its new location was also where our GPSr said "Distance to Destination = 0m"
The new location should also stop muggles finding it by accident.
You do not need to update any co-ordinates, only maybe the hint needs to be changed.

Well done Bobbbster1999, your cache has survived to be found again.

Found with family walking the dog.
Log needs plastic bag.
 
28-Nov-10
We were a bit worried that with the recent and continuing rain the creek might have made things hard for us While we had to ford the creek from where we parked the geoSube, we had no problem locating the cache which was found at 2:10pm. The container was somewhat damp and needs a better seal (a bag for the log would help too). TNLN TFTC

Popped out for a couple this evening to test my brand new Oregon 550, and this is one of the closest ones to home (despite it being a 20+ minute drive away). A nice easy find even in the dark.
 
07-Nov-10
7.15pm Out and about with 80 degrees today and we are on a roll clearing out a few more in the area. We are very impressed with estate and the houses out here are very nice Lovely little park to look onto. Nice easy find. Thanks for bringing us here.
