Faulks Reserve West Ballina, New South Wales, Australia

One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep 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, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 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 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 page and post a 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.

Should have check logs before going to location.

Please archive.

I couldn't find this geocache, maybe I'll have better luck next time!

I searched fairly well but as always could just be missing it by that much! Not sure. Nice spot for a picnic.

Not Found

Another did not find, we expected this one to be an easy find untill we realised it isnt there to find...

No luck today.

No Luck with this one.

Did not find this one, with 3 DNFs I'm starting to suspect it might be missing.

Didn't find this one today, I'll have a look next time.

This one we couldnt find..... maybe I didnt look hard enough.. Will give this one another go on a different day....

Found by master 8 year old. Tftf

The lid is gone and I want to thank 2peasinapod2012 for adding some more paper. Was a nice spot to drop by and hope that the cache can be repaired soon to avoid it being lost altogether.

TFTC

Found at 9.20am.
There was no lid on the container and the log was unable to be rolled out or to be written on.
We put in a new piece of paper to write on.
Needs maintenance.

Tftc

Staying with friends close by we could not pass up the opportunity to introduce them to the world of geocaching..
This was our closest to home..
Geoboy found the cache before we had hardly started looking.
Log was soaked. Could not sign but left sticker tftc.

TFTC

TFTC needs maintenance log is a bit damp.

Found on our holiday home. Log damp. TFTC

As previous cachers say, the lid is missing and we found the new log on the ground. Stuck a bit of stick in the end of the cache, though it doesn't blend with the container it does help keep the log in. TFTC scott316.

We found the cache but it was empty, we created a new log and signed it but we did not have a suitable cap for the container so we replaced the cache plus log. the whole cache needs to be replaced by a new one.
Dorik

Please check as this We believe has no log or no lid! looked for something to put in and put a new lid on but had nothing in our box this small!.

Found what we believe is the cache right where this said it was (small magnet thing) unfounitly this had no log or lid on this so we was unable to sign a log! may need checking!

First cache in Ballina! On our way thru to Sunshine Coast from Newcastle... First attempt in the dark wasn't successful but tried again in the morning and found it easily... TFTC!

quick find no one around thanks new log

No pencil found! Quick find on our way to the ferry! TFTC

A. Short stop heading Brisbane to Sydney

A quick stop on the way home for this one we were accompanied by Mr Fangsoki & Herbz. TFTC

Travelling north now with Whint and we were soon stopped at this one. A nice little park. The GPS Initially led us to a somewhat likely spot, or at least the most likely spot. A quick look though revealed no cache. Checked the hint and half of it suggested over there, but the other half suggested over here. We checked over there quickly, but decided we were right the first time. A bit more of a look and I spied the cache. However, between me and it was a plastic bag full of hyper stinky rubbish that had been wedged into the gap there. Ah well, I flicked it out and had access to the cache. Extracted the log and signed before replacing all as found again, minus the bag this time. TFTC scott316.

Found with Captain Terror after attending a nearby event.... wasn't so pleasant on this occasion as it turned out to be covered by the most disgusting stinky plastic bag full of who knows what?? ewwww... we considered returned the said manky bag to its original hiding place but decided it really wasn't meant to be part of the camo {joking of course} so we left it so other finders could find without gagging

tftc

Arrived here with Fangsoki, Herbz and Ms Wig.... have to admit I was last on the scene for this find.

Thanks scott316

We were down in Balina from the Gold Coast for the Northern Rivers Christmas Catch Up Event and spotted this cache. Our last cache in the area. We arrived in convoy with Pigwig2, Agap2 and Fangsoki, who'd already found it on a previous visit. As we walked up to GZ the tiny cache was soon spied. We had a piece of scrap paper which we signed and left as the log book was full. TFTC.

No luck for me today. Must have missed a spot.

Tricky to find, tiny! Log full remember to bring pen n paper next visitor

Out and about on an over the border caching adventure. Found the cache nice and easy. Nice spot.

TFTC scott316

Visiting from Melbourne & hoped to find it. Very disappointed

Last for the day and my last in Ballina as I will be heading home early. I parked and thought this one onmight be tough in the dark but spotted the cache quickly. The log is pretty full and will need replacing g soon. TFTC.either

Fount it!

Second find on the way home from the GC. Easy find and a lovely day by the river.

TFTC

My silly gps was wanting me to go across the ferry and come back to get this one. I ignored it and got to the cache easily. Lovely park, wouldn't mind coming back with a fishing rod

TFTC.

Goldielover and I walked form where we stayed last night to this cache. Met a couple of muggles trying to catch their breakfast. Only a couple of small bream. Loved the cache.
TFTC

Found with stairman1. We arrived at the GZ only to find some muggles having an early morning fish. I wonder what they thought about how we found a meter box so fascinating [?] Anyway we found the container, signed our names then headed over to the muggles for a quick chat. Thanks scott316.

Not too many places this one could be hidden nice easy cache. TFTC

Our GPS was way off. But in the end we found it.

Nice cache didn't write in log didn't have a pin. Will go back and do so.

A bit scary. But we found it!

In Ballina for a couple of day catching up with family, we took time out for a few caches.
A nice easy find in a lovely spot. Found in the first place I looked.
Thanks

Didn't even have to turn the car off. What a quick find, but still appreciated. Thanks scott316.

Found while passing through ballina on the way down to Melbourne. Quick and easy find with no problems.
TFTC

Very quick drive by which proved to be easy.
TFTC

After not attempting the nearby Ferry Ride cache after reading logs saying it was missing, wwe headed to this one, and were pleased to have a find on theis wet and rainy day in Balllina. TNLN, thanks scott316.

Qick find whilst waiting for geomum at the doctors. Enjoyed the tyre swing nearby.

great location

I thought this small reserve was so quaint. The old fashioned tyre swings hanging from the trees, took me back to my younger days.
TFTC scott316

Had the little park all to ourselves
Cache found in the obvious spot
Took trackable Aussie-Bound for Jody1V for a visit
tftc

Found another great lunch spot. But look out for muggles!

Great, safe spot, love the swings there for the kids!
Great cache, thanks.

My 200th find. Yippee
Found today with my GF's geokids. I spotted it from a few meters away, but kept them looking for it.

TFC

Found cache quite quickly, took ages to get log book out due to being damp and slightly unwound. Great container, fits in well to surrounds. TFTC

Had a few people tell me this cache is MIA.

In Ballina today so went over to have look.

THANKS to those who told me it was missing.


Cache has been replaced with a new micro... same location.

Had a good look. Not found!

We had found this Cache previously but were down here today for a family picnic and fishing expedition. Went with BrightEyes! and Mars Mission 05 to try to locate Cache and it is not where we found it last time. Definitely needs checking on.

No joy for me. I scoured the obvious spot and found nothing. Rang a previous finder and confirmed I was in the right spot before checking again. Still nothing. For a container with a log and pencil, it should be an easy one to spot but, I wasn;t able to...

Can I suggest an owner check on this one, I suspect it might not be there anymore...

Everyone says easy find but not for me today. I checked everything twice before resorting to paf but no luck.

Had muggle problems with this cache back in Feb but no one around to spoil the fun today. Thanks scott316.

Found this cache very quickly (great container), but then when we opened it there was no log inside! Did what we could with what we had. Ended up cutting the header off the page for this one, so the new log has the GC code and the geocaching url. Would suggest replacing with a propper log when you get a chance. TFTC.

nice area thanks for the cache quick find t/n/l/n/s/l regards
Angel Dust

As got into Ballina after sunset this was a nightime cache hunt, found fairly easily with no muggles around. The log is squeezed in tight, tweezers might be useful for retrieval. Thanks.

A quick find, TFTC

New log installed.

Hide still looks nice as ever.

A quick find on our way through Ballina. Log needs replacing, no room for any more. SL&TFTC. cloudglider

Quick find. Just squeezed our name in. Needs replacing

On a roll another quick find.

nice spot TFTC TFTH

Quick find

TFTC

found it, nice and easy

Nice Peaceful spot to kick the feet up for abit. TFTC

I found this one after a small hunt. I have only recently encountered this cache container style while in northern NSW. It is in good condition. The park was looking very nice indeed. TFTC scott316

A nice easy cache. Thanks.

Found 22/4/11 it's good to be caching again. Looks like it was found and log signed by a muggle called Joshua between MattyRX's visit and mine. I found it easily and went back to the car to sign the log. Replaced the cache and was about to drive off when I realised I had the pencil in my hand... Back to the cache to return the pencil then off home after another nice arvo out in the fresh air. TFTC

Found on our trip from Wollongong to Byron so Chip could go home for Easter. It is always hard to motivate her for a cache this close to the end of the journey!

Cheers

Hoojar always having difficulty getting me to cache from about here to our destination in Byron. I am always so over being the car for such long periods that I just want to get home already. But this time we had an excuse, the traffic was crawling.
Cheers.

I was heading to Ballina today and decided to spend my lunch time searching for a few local caches that I haven’t found yet. I haven’t been to this little reserve before, so it was a pleasant little spot to stop for lunch. The river is always good to look at. I was being watched by some people from over the road so ate my lunch and pottered about the park, waiting for them to go inside. Eventually they did, so I honed in on GZ and found the cache without too much trouble. Thanks Scotty316! A clever little hide!

Best to date - boys loved the magnet thingo! Sneaky!

A quick find by torch light this morning, thanks.

Beautiful spot. lovely walk with the family. TFTC. Nice hiding spot. Friends looked right at it and ignored it, kept right on looking.

No one around today so it was a quick grab and sign TFTC

Would you believe we discovered this place about two weeks before the cache was placed while we were fishing in Ballina.
Great place for a cache or a fish TFTC scott316

NIce park and found it fairly easily. Had fish and chips by the water. Nice! TFTC

pretty easy to find but a good hiding place my first cache

Found it No. 3305 ... quick find on a wet day .. TNLN ... TFTC

A great spot by the river - cache may have been there but it wasnt obvious and I was unable to have more than a minutes look due to a elderly muggle checking me out from his garage across the road. I will watch this one and have another go soon.
