Hi compassreading,

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.

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, 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.

On a warm and bright morning, ventured out to find some caches in hat head area. First stop here, Cache found relatively quickly, my mate leading the keen eye. Slightly overgrown, will need to go into bush a bit bit - yet a well placed cache. Thank you!

A nice location. We saw a friar bird, wattlebird and an azure kingfisher before we saw the cache. TFTC compassreading

Gotcha !!! TFTC

TFTC Thank you for hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity. we are here for the week doing weeding at Southwest Rocks. Great to find these local caches. We replaced the cache as it was badly rusted and the log was pulp.
It is a mint tin with a log sheet hanging in the tree.

Any cachet’s that have small cliplock bags please replace the old one.

Took some time to find, log is soaking wet after the rain, lid won't close. Desperately in need of matience maintenance

Found in a very dilapidated state, closer to where we parked the car than we anticipated. Desperately needs some TLC. Tftc

Found. Thank you

Found it second go. We pretty much staring straight at it the first time

Perhaps the bush is too overgrown now?
Friend was bitten by a couple of giant red bull ants. Will come back and look again soon

We found it after scaling down from the hill above. Lovely views. Found the easier way back when returning to the main track. TFTC.

Could use some maintenance, managed to sign but paper was water logged and didn't have any on me to replace with.

Find #2676
It was rainy and cool today, and with no more caches to find in South West Rocks we decided on a little drive down to Hat Head for the afternoon. We grabbed a few of the easier ones, and will make plans for the higher terrain ones on our next trip this way...
This little neglected cache has unfortunately become geo-litter, a rusting mint tin full of soggy paper, unsignable. I agree with the recent NM, should be replaced or removed/archived..... Nice spot though...

Found today with my Little Brother, Mum and Dad (Lee737). Good day to come and do some caches while its raining.
Cache very wet.

### ***tftc!!!!!!*** ###

Cache sopping wet, Needs some attention...

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

A little bit of stealth was required here as there was a few fishing muggles nearby. The cache was located!!! but unfortunately the log was very water logged and not signed I did not have any replacement equipment with me, Sorry ..Thanks compassreading for bring us to this spot ,

Hard to find

Found at 19:45.
Nice quick find on a beautiful night - bit windy but a nice temp.
Cache and log both is poor condition but still managed to just sign the log.
Thanks for the cache!

This Cache could be found. Many thanks for the lovely view. However, I can only upload a photo As log. The logbook is completely wet and needs maintenance. Tftc

Geokiddie found with WrightatHolm while on holidays. Thanks for helping make this adventure fun with a cache!

Such a great area - beach, creek, trails, and sand dunes! We are having a wonderful vacation with GeelongCats family. SL dry and intact but full TFTC camo container rusty. Watch out for dog poo ...

Found

Badly needs maintenance tin wont close and log is horribly wet

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Fought with the nozzles but found it

Lots of prickles

Day 3 in SWR and a chance to enjoy the beach with the kids and grab a cache.

But then it got hot so went for a few drivebys. This was a quick find. Log was dry which was a bonus. TNLN TFTC

Thanks for the cache. Took some time to find. Great spot.

TFTC
Hint worked for us!

Super wet paper
Just FYI.

SHIT!!

it's not there

TFTC, nice spot. Log was wet, dried out the best I could.

On a visit to explore Hat Head and it's caches. A great spot for some fishing and by the way the caravan park is filling up it's destined to become a very busy spot soon. TFTC compassreading.

In the company of pprass after a day of caching around Kempsey, I still had some caches to find around hat head, so a slight detour- arrived at GZ , log book very wet and cache container is not sealing shut. Thankfully I have a stamp with my caching name and date nice area. TFTC

Log wet, container not sealing shut

Found it
Log sheet v wet, had leaked

Took a second go to find as we were rushed first time round. Bit wet inside. Forgot a pencil so couldn't write in logbook.

Found it , did not sign , full of water needs a bit of attention

Quick find and sign before a spot of fishing.

Find 4928 logged from c:geo.

The box is actually black

found with jasclo

Found this today after I told the teenagers the rest of the hint. The race was on and youngest daughter came up trumps. Thanks for placing this cache.

Lucky enough mr JAG3 knew the rest of the hint. After slapping a million mozzies off ourselves we finally found the cache!!!

Sorry for the late log. date changed to reflect. Quick find on a lovely day in hat head. TFTC TNLN SL.

Quick find, Thanks compassreading

We haven't been to hat head for a while and to find a couple of caches was a bonus. No one around while we searched so had no trouble finding the cache. The log is dry but the lid on the tin won't close properly.
Thanks for bringing us to a lovely area.
TNLN, SL

Cheers from CATONY.

Found this cache on an early morning walk through town. TFTC

And easy find today as we walked along the banks of the creek. Didn't bring a pen so we weren't able to sign the log. Cache might need some maintenance soon too as the lid is falling off because the cache is getting a bit rusty. Thanks for the hunt! Matt and Court

Still got no idea what the clue means but hit the gz and let the "spider senses" take over and found it in the end

Found it eventually. The clue misled us for a while. TFTC.

Couldn't work out the clue, but we did find it! Thanks

TFTC

Easy find for us today
First place we looked
