Seems it may be gone there has been numerous DNFs since mid December. Could CO please check the container is still here, replace or consider archiving?
We printed a map of caches in the area and pulled up at this one without realizing it has a list of DNF's on it already. We discovered that as we hunted the cache without finding it and thought we'd check previous logs for clues. The clue here is the cache owners haven't checked into the Geocaching.com website since 8 April, 2012, which I think means they will not be replacing this cache.
Homesies: if you read this log please add a note to the cache page to say if it is replaced or else you can archive the cache and save people going looking for it.

Looked around and at the clue. Now are we talking my height or 6ft?? No luck today.
Out in the rain with Nurseyjulie today and we gave this search a fair crack.

Third cache of the day. First DNF. Nothing find here except some feathers. Left with a strange hum in my ear.
TFTC It was electrifying. As i got back to the cache realised after signing log that I had stashed the pencil in the cache behind my ear.be sure to take pen.
My first cache outside of the UK. Visiting from England. With L, V, P and F. TFTC
First find for the day. Walked straight past this one. Am not liking the new IOS 5 on Iphone... GPS location seems to stick to the road lines... so spent the afternoon doing aerial photo interpretation for final GZ location as my location would not update as i left the road.

A lovely day to go caching with the temperature being a bit cooler than the last few day. This is a gorgeous area full of lovely views that we remember quite well from our visit to the area in 2007. Great to see so many good caches around the location. This was one we targetted and were able to find.
Thanks to holmesies.

To many muggles, came back today for a quick find. Saw from road so added some camoflauge. TFTC
Found with dark llama, cache was out in t he open for all to see. Owner may want to make sure it is where it was intended to be. Put back where we found it, this time it has been fully camouflaged
A easy find as it was it the open in full view. Owner may want to check that it is where they wanted it to be.
# 830. A good start this morning and as the other two were fossicking around the obvious fixture I walked up to the correct spot and soon had my hand on the cache. Noticed some interesting looking bollards nearby. TFTC holmesies
We were all sure what kind of hide this cache would be - we were all wrong. It sometimes takes a while to shift the thinking to other hides, but we got there eventually.
A nice little corner park for a cache.
Thanks, Robmc.

I made a wrong assumption about this cache before we jumped out of the car. Probably done too many electrical box caches for my own good. Should read the cache notes and obey the GPS too!

Nice quick find with TuisReturn. A great time for us both on holiday around Brisbane. SL TFTC
I could feel the electricity in the air, I could hear the hum of electron's moving around the coil inside the Transformer, I felt the warmth from the Transformer. I so enjoy transformers, I also get side tracked easily!
It was a find day to be on the hunt! There was a few muggle kids in the park but that did not stop me today, as the area is well protected by trees. I believe the transformer was creating interferance and had me all over the place. I stepped back and I could see the cache from the road, it was very exposed with not much cover at all.
The cache is in excellent condition and logbook is dry. I returned it to is location but this time gave it a little more cover to help it blend in with its location, but not too much that a geocacher will not find it.

Spent the day on the South Side and this was our third cache for the day. Nice easy find first thing in the morning. Very quiet and cache was in good condition.

Yay !! My first find! Sadly, I didn't have any swappsies to add, so I left it as it was. But I will be ready next time.
Easy find. Cache was very exposed. Hid it a little better to deter muggles. Tftc
What are the odds? Muggle workmen doing 'electrical work' at exactly the same time I want to cache in this area.
Fortunately they were distracted enough in their giant cherry picker so as to afford me some time to dive in then out. I am a little concerned about the lack of camouflage today. Perhaps it has been moved from it's original position as it is currently very exposed.

Found it!
Pleased to get a "find" on our Australian caching experience. Nice size box too :O)
This was very easy find with good co-ords. The cache was actually quite exposed but we used a little paper bark 'cammo', when we put it back where found. Our little grandaughter was happy to swap a small toy for a little penguin :O)

Crickey how long do you use these excercise things, don't they know caching is better?
Muggle on exercise equipment was a concern, but we finally positioned ourselves so he could not see us grab the cache. Cache was a little wet and quite visible so I recovered as best I could. Took GC TFTC holmesies
Visiting from the UK with my brother, nice to see a decent sized cache after all the micros in the area. Swapped trackables, thanks for the hide.
The GZ was a really easy find, so obvious from the description. My luck, however, made me to go through all the options before hitting the jackpot.
What a treasure chest the container is, full of goodies! Geokid took a yo-yo and soldier, left a Teen Mutant Ninja Turtle and a biiiig fly. Good for scaring the missus.
Took Travel GPS travel bug.

A quick find to MrMeccano this afternoon as we wandered around Cleveland doing a few caches.
The cache was a little full but we did manage to drop off a TB.

For an easy cache, this one was difficult! Got scared away the first time by the police and some door to door sales muggles. The second time had to deal with a barking dog and more muggles dropping into the park. But got there in the end. TFtC
Found this one on the ground but nicely intact,so signed the log and replaced where it obviously came from tightly with some good camouflage.TFTC.holmsies.
Pulled up in car and immediately wondered how this one is still there without being muggled. I thought maybe there were other, better hiding places in the vicinity, but a nice break to relax on the drive home from work today. TFTC.
Awesome find. Thanks for a great hint. Put in beetle bug, removed key ring. Drkraw team and friends
Found this one at 8pm. With all the ambient light from the full moon, I didn't even need the torch. Very surprised and feeling lucky to grab this one so easily, considering the number of nearby cache hiding places. TN/LN/SL
Relatively quick find, even with muggles in park and across the road. We did not see any travel bug.
Found it ok, dropped off a TB, but now I'm sitting in the car watching some council men with tree pruning equip walking around. Will rehide with great care. TFTC holmesies
Well didn't even have the hint to read. WE inspected the humming piece carefully from a slight distance but couldn't see any of the usual suspects we have seen before. So we did start to inspect other likely spots and MrsMad had it in hand very quickly. Left some small swaps behind as it was quite empty of swapping items. Thanks for the cache - we had wandered over to find it as we wanted to do some maintenance on one of our own but a fisherman was in the road!!! WE hoped he would be gone by the time we found your cache and he was!!! The geokids had much fun on the fitness equipment on the way over as well.
Found it without too much trouble whilst on a nice morning bike ride with my wife. This is my first cache find. Thankyou holmesies.
Electrifying indeed. Nearly scared us back to our hostel for the night! Cheers Gav [8681]
913 - An easy find of this sneaky cache on our afternoon of caching in the Ormiston / Cleveland area. Thanks for placing this one holmesies. Found in good condition at 3:15pm.
Found it No. 3673 ... found it quickly due to clue ... no TB in cache ... TNLN .. TFTC
Out for a bike ride this morning and I had heard the buzz about this cache
It had sparked my interest and I was keen to find it
A short search of the nearby shrubbery had me a cache find in next to no time

Found at 1042. A quick find using the clue. I sign the log under the closw supervison of a magpie. Cache OK and dry. TFTC.
dropped off our first travel bug. please help him travel the towers of the world!!
5th of 15 for the day out on the bike with Dazweeja. Not where I was expecting it to be. TFTC
Found whilst out caching on the bike with Geobrother "Where are we".

This was a surprisingly good size container for where it is hidden. I looked in a couple of places before finding the right spot and was surprised to find what I did when I revealed the cache... Nicely done... [^]
It was a little challenging to place back and keep out of sight. I checked from all angles before I left and all was good...
Cheers holmesies.

I had the old advertisement for this estate running through my head as I searched for this cache, and for quite a while afterwards, too! Cache was hiding safely and well, nicely tucked away in its spot. Didn't take long to find, which was good after a DNF earlier! TFTC. =^.^=
Had a bit of a search before resorting to the hint and there it was. Some very interesting fungi in some of the nearby trees and we were watched over by a curious young magpie. Thanks holmesies
Nice afternoon caching with the geokids. This one was a nice quick find which was good for the geokids who had just spend half an hour searching for the previous cache with a no found result and were losing interest fast
Took Travel bug and swapped some trinkets.

Nice quick find on my way to cleveland station. Got off the train at ormaston and decided to try a few csches on the way. After giving up on the first one I found this one after a short search.
Took coin and dropped of a travel bug.
Tftc, was going to walk all the way to the ferry, but gave that idea up due to the heat!

Third stop and still empty handed... Stopped by a local shop to get another torch to double of chances... Also decided to avoid bushy locations at night...
Murphy's Law strikes again.
I started searching in the indicated area and it was the last one I checked which held the cache.
Took the HMAS Manoora TB. TFTC.

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga 2 at 12 noon. The cache was exposed but is covered better now. TFTC
This one was not loaded on my GPS last time I searched so I came by this week and ticked it off. A nice little spot for a cache. thanks
Arrived at GZ with Ms Wig and Herbz. Found this one quickly and were surprised to see we were second to find!!!
and Fangsoki is from the North side.... where's everybody gone??
Thanks holmesies

Out and about with Team Herbz & Mr Gap today we all piled out of the Herbz-mobile for a quick find on this one just before lunch time TFTC holmesies
Found with Pigwig2 and Agap2 on a caching day in the area. Nice hide, we replaced it carefully. TFTC.
I was out the back of whoop whoop when I noticed this cache had been published. I did plan to be in the general vicinity later - so I thought I would just grab it then. I was sure the FTF would be gone by then. Tonight I arrived at GZ - making sure I was not being watched by fancy people in fancy houses.
I found the cache quite quickly. I opened the handsome container to find an unexpected *FTF* for me I signed the log at 6.10pm. I re-hid the beast a little better so it was not so exposed. I have always enjoyed this area. TFTC holmesies
