The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.
I am 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.
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 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.
Did not find it. I stood in one spot and then it went from 3 metres to 11 metres away. A lot of suspicion that it was stolen.
I spent a lot of time searching for this today but also couldn't find it. The grass around the trees is very thick and tall so could just be very well hidden but I searched many trees thoroughly around where it should be until i had to give up. On to the watch list for now 
Another search under very cloudy skies and trees. Ideal conditions my GPS (and hence me) to detest.
So it was that this became a DNF. Looked in several paces to no avail. A bit surprised it has been about 6 months since a log of any sort though.
Another for the watch list.

Owl collected Mrs SA Sewer Rats for a day of caching and laughter. They threw their usual planning out the window and just went for multis, solved puzzles and the caches that crossed their path. This was one of them. There were several options for the hide, as the GPS had them in the middle of several trees, but the cache was eventually located. It looked a little exposed, so it has been put further in.

This one had us looking in and around several tress, as the GPS was a bit flaky Owl found the cache. TFTC.
Yaaay there were really good things in there but dam earwigs scared the crap outta me
Hooray! Nearly at the end of our planned 100 day streak, now 
We DNFd on our previous look around, and thought this would be the same for a bit, then read some logs and made the find quite quickly.
Ratbag 1 has taken a TB I think I may have had my hands on already

The streak continues at 91 days now.
We went over to Wilfred Taylor Reserve to have a whack of table tennis and couldn't find "Hanging About" in the dark so we looked to one that neither Chelle nor I had found that wasn't in a cluster of others that we might want to do all together one day.
We checked a few likely spots before Chelle checked the logs to see that we needed to try 10 metres south east and sure enough we soon found it there.
Yes, quite a few earwigs in the baggy. (My ears are quite hairy already so I didn't need any wigs for them. )

I started looking in the wrong place to start with and found a spider and its web. Then I started looking in the right place and found it soon after. TFTC
Out this afternoon for some further a field caches. Found this one easily but bag was full of earwigs. Left TB 
After working nearby I was keen to find a cache here, especially since I rarely come out this way. Thanks for the hunt this afternoon:)
A bit of night caching on the way home from dinner - as mentioned by others, our GPS had us a few metres away, but we widened the search and had it in hand fairly quickly (and the winter grass does make it a bit tricky). TFTC
Out on a caching run with Mr and Mrs Froghoppin,
seeing what we could find on a rainy day down south.
A short hunt soon discovered David..

Wednesday night caching run with Moneydork and eventually RideTheGeoWalrus
This was definitely a night of quality over quantity as only 6
finds were made, well by me anyway.
Those 6 though were mostly fun puzzles and even better that the fun of finding most of them was shared with the CO's who I believe enjoyed watching us struggle
I picked up the last of the 6 on my way home early the next morning after both the boys had decided sleep was more important than caching [)]
My only trad for the night and this took some searching to find.
Eventually and just as the boys were about to give up, I spotted something and retrieved the cache
According to my GPSr, the coords were about 10m off but the cache is in one of the obvious spots within that radius of GZ.

An evening of caching with locus cache and Moneydork, with a few specific caches being targeted. A few in our group had DNF'ed this one before and were very keen to avenge this state of affairs, having noted that it is now back online. Probably the hardest 1.5 D cache I've done in quite a while, with the very long winter grass and many options to choose from, it took quite a while to come up with this one.
This was find number 2 of 2 for the day for me. TFTC Team GeoMac!

I looked around the whole area but I could not find it. Maybe it wasn't there..?
Cache is now back up and running after having suffered at the hands of muggles.
Found what we are fairly sure were the remnants of the cache. A few ziplock bags and a kick knack or two - nothing else. A smiley badge in the tree makes us fairly sure we hit the spot tho.

This cache was too easy to find. Perhaps it could be hidden a little less obviously. Not a good idea to have the sistema container inside a clip lock bag, because it had not been closed tight and water had penetrated. Perhaps a larger container would be better.
Found it on the way home from school. Our first cache found! My daughter was so excited, we did a swap with a keyring for a lizard.
With caveman01. Our 10th for the day! yay! Cache and note pad are very damp. TFTC!!
Fredfronky was busy tearing up the ground near a certain tree when I decided to spiral outwards from the co-ordiantes. Lucky he has a GPS or I might still be searching. Nice little cache so thank you

Found this one on the way home. The GPS was a bit off, so I spent quite a while searching the wrong tree, but The Ukulele Kid had the right idea and found the cache.
Sorry to say it had been muggled.
Didn't know where from. I replaced container in a spot my app said was gz with the almost full log and I put in a few swamps. Hope it stays hidden. Found it all strewn about the place.

Wow!! A few years since this one was placed and the description has the nearby shopping centre as small, boy that's changed. Not sure who David is but today this cache was Carmel and Geoff's Discovery, haha.
This took us longer than it should have, a bit of cache blindness occurring but found the little blighted in the end, thanks Team Geomac for the cache and the reason to wander through the park.
Signed the log and replaced safe and sound as found. TNLN

Tough one for us to find due to mud and long grass. Lucky we had an astute 7 year old who found it.
Was in the area today and couldn't help myself, I just had to stop and grab this one. Found quickly, signed the log and was on my way. [^]
Thanks for the cache Team GeoMac.

Forgot to log last night (Friday), really dark area which came in handy with all the people on the road. TFTC
Nice easy find on a quick drive around the area today with 3pir8s . TFTC Team GeoMac
Found it, it's well disguised my 10 year old daughter found it. We are having lots of fun finding these things
