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 (next 28 days), just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it 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'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 page and post a note every month or so to keep everyone up to date.

About time this was archived don't you think?

Pretty sure this cache isn't here if its not going to be replaced it may need archiving...? Been watching this one for a while.... CO are you out there?

Spent quite a while searching for this one with the geo kids.... Searched a few possible locations but we couldn't find it.... Maybe next time....

Went to go show nephews & it's either changed position or it's gone missing.

Think it's been muggled

Forgot to log this the other day but didn't spend much time here as we read the last few logs and realised that's its probably gone.

Logging a DNF today but didn't spend a great deal of time searching because the logs indicate this cache hasn't been found in about 6 months and the last comment I read stated they found the cache remnants. Will return if found but feel it should most probably be archived.

cache needs maintenance or archive!

17:08 I found only the remains of the cache...cache needs maintenance or archive.

Looked for about 20 minutes, but couldn't find it anywhere.

Like the last cacher, we were expecting a quick find on this nice bridge, but no cache could we locate.
Thanks, Robmc.

Had expected to make a quick find on this one, but couldn't seem to spot it

Found with supasmile. Very troll like. Great day to geocache.

I found it whilst Porko2003 was on the wrong side of the location. I believe the compass and map indicator is on the wrong side as well making it 35-45 cm off. Easy find and nice quite area.

15th find today for Wallumetta Scout Fellowship. Beer o'clock

Fifteenth find of the day with the Wallumetta Scout Fellowship!! I made the find and think that will do us now... phew

Found with Wallumetta fellowship

Found while in Sydney for a few days. Lovely spot. Thanks WebWitch

Enjoyed the story, but didnt enjoy the spider webs :/ Great hiding spot nearly didn't see it!

easy to find but just too many spiders

We found this cache sometime ago but only recently had the technology to log online. One of our kids first cache finds. Now every time we go out its can we find some treasure.....

Found this one on the way home from work. Was a tricky exercise to time the retrieval in between bike riders and walkers. TFTC

Tftc!

Good fun! This was the first GeoCache find for us- super good fun and great teaching about navigation.

On a bit of a troll theme today having just found "Trolls Lunchbox" this was a quick find thanks

Thanks, the title gives it away haha

We were lucky enough to have some time off work this morning so decided to enjoy the sunshine and put in some quality time caching. This was a nice park to visit that we'd never explored before. Our twelth and last find for a very enjoyable morning. TNLN, TFTC

What a nice little park especially on a cool but sunny Saturday morning. Mrs G is not up to crawling or climbing and for just a minute she thought she saw that a big, ugly, one-eyed troll with the cache container. Luckily it was just Mr Gaztek!! T a little penguin and L SES wristband. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

Great hiding spot!

Quite a straight forward find during the lunch break.

Thanks for the cache.

Quite a few cyclists peddled by while we were at GZ. SL left bubbles took flower hair clip TFTC

Tftc just a quickly but like you said it is a cute park

Nice hide tftc,cheers

After all the rain, I approached GZ with some trepidation as I was in full suit, tie and dress shoes!!.

I was fortuante to pick the right location first off and after one manouvre had cihg without coming to a slippery and muddy grief:)!

Found on a wet walk with our friends Charlie and Tom. Dropped off a Pike River Mine geocoin from NZ. TFTC, one of our favourite stories. Lyle family

Pleasant little spot! Not too many muggles about, just some cyclists, allowing for a quick find. TNLNSL TFTC

Left a hockey card. Tftc

Quick and easy find. TFTC!

Nice little park. SL TFTC

TFTC SL TNLN!

Cache #100 for me!! Although not the best weather conditions

TFTC, NazzoR

Very tranquil place quite close to where we live. Thanks for taking me there, webwitch.

Easy Find TFTC

A quick find for the day after getting thwarted by running around in circles. TFTC

Found with Skypirate- 1:42 PM. Thanks for the cache I grabbed the lobster TB left though a nice girls bead bracelet. Took nothing else.

Found with Rohan (his first). We liked the hiding place!

Found by Mary & David at 1400. The rain has stopped but not a sign of blue sky anywhere. We enjoyed the park and its trees. Our thanks to webwitch.

Found it

Had a pretty good idea where this one was but it has been raining heaps and i had little geokid with me. Ground very slippery so only had a cursory look and couldn't spot the cache. However, we had a long play In the quiet little playground and ended up bumping into an old friend! Lovely spot, thanks for bringing us here.

great spot. TFTC.

Nice quick find thanks. Amazing number of ducks in the front garden of no4 Patricia st this morning!

TFTC. TNLN.

Nice quick easy find once we also visited the troll with lots of mozzies around tonight....very much enjoyed the Neighbour across the road from the park as it was feeding time for all the local ducks, cranes & lorikeets....T4TC....

Found this back in November and forgot to log it

Great spot, but had to visit the Troll!

Found during a detour from the drive to work (with much reduced pre-xmas traffic). A few muggles riding or walking past but a heavy downpour soon had me as the only fool left in the park. Many thanks webwitch.

Found it

What a fun cache, couldn't spot it at first and knew I had to go right under and I had my mum guarding when I could go in and out.

TFTC ~1173~

What a great little spot.
I had a real need to stretch by the time I got here.
As I passed by I dropped a GCA frog in the vicinity too.

Great! Fantastic! I love caches like this. Nearly hit my head when a cyclist road over the bridge while viewing the container.

Didn't have to park too far away which is also a bonus.

Thanks for the great Cache.

Almost a park and grab, very quick find, on my way to Eden Gardens. The roar of bicycles overhead made me hold my breath.

This was a quick grab once I worked out which side of the bridge I should be under! Signed the log in situ, then snuck out!

TFTC, webwitch!

CC.

This looked like a good stop on the way home to Gosford, as the Geodog needed a break too. A short walk lead to the obvious and a short crawl showed us the not over well camouflaged item. Afterwards we took a longer walk and visited the corner store for a reward. No room for swaps, thanks for a good hide in a nice suburban park.

Amazing number of Ibis and Ducks in the neighbours yard on the approach to GZ park

Quick find

TFTC

What a beautiful little park. Thanks for bringing us here. TFTC.

TFTC SL. Great hide.

Tftc SL. dropped off dog tags.

Found at 17:26
Finally we have completed our caching calendar. A cache found on every day of the calendar. Zac and Dad got a fright when a bike rode over us while we signed the logs. Zac enjoyed the playground nearby.

Lovely quiet park. SL. Left Stig TB.

Got a good position on the GPS. Made a quick find. Tftc

Nice easy find while walking geo-hounds round the area. Not a goat in sight, however

TFTC

Good fun day searching for caches around Sydney area. Soon had this one located. SL TFTC

Nice easy find. Great park.

In good order, where it was supposed to be.

This story remains my sons favorite story even after listening to it hundred times Had great time doing this with leosoul and our son. After caching, our son had good time at swings. TFTC

Found it easily with our son. We read this story to him every night, so it was special to us.
Took trackable on its journey forward

Another with holyman54 on cache night!

Another epic night caching with cybermew3

I'm surprised this hasn't been taken by muggles!

Got it. First truly quick find. No-one about early on the morning. TFTC

A quick find while muggles thundered by !!!!

On my way past this afternoon to see my next client but I just had to get this one first!Turns out I found a great spot to park with only 50mts to walk in to GZ.
At first I thought this would be a little tuff with all the joggers and bike riders but once I realised the hide I made sure I got there quickly.
Found cache a little easy due to not much camo over it.Found contents safe and dry.SL as joggers and bikes went past with a rumble and crack TNLN RTND safe with extra camo.

Great placement. Great night time cache! Tftc

Great spot, thank you

Found it with akkatracker. We both turned into trolls and spooked a few muggles crossing the bridge (goats lol). TFTC

Found with Glennren. Acted as a goat, then a troll. Very simply hidden so added a bit more camo. TFTCTNLNSL

Took a walk in the sunshine after lunch, turned out be longer than expected - more than 9000 steps in total. Found the cache a swapped a frog for a "foot-print".

Nice location, love the name "Billy Goats Gruff"!

After looking at the first spot I looked at the beginning. Saw it as I came from a different angle and tadaa cache in hand. TFTC

Found with snoopy1976

Reperio at 1315. With a name like this one, there was only one type of spot it could be. Sure enough, after arriving at GZ, there it was, and after a short search, the cache was discovered.

Gratias.

Headed off for home after a long day at work. After a couple of minutes of recanting how much fun we'd had finding 15 caches in the Blue Mountains on Saturday, we decided to do a u-turn to a quick geocache near our workplaces with Christine Vista. Lucky this was an easy find because Harro is not particulary good at using stealth and the muggles travelling through this park on their own way home will have been wondering what he was up to in the dark, by a bridge, with two giggling (and gorgeous) women. Thanks for reminding us about the story of the billy goats gruff and for the visit to what looks like a lovely park in the daytime ... ... in summer. It was feezing tonight, so we'll just have to come back again another day!

Found in the dark after work.

Found it by skyejam and Thanks for bringing us here nice quiet park!!
