No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 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 30 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.

Cache is obviously not there (sticker found and DNF confirmed looking in the right spot)and needs replacing.
One of my faves but seriously needs fixing.

Went to this be today and could not find it.... Spent a while look too

Three of us searched for about a half hour but could not. Find it.

Tried to find this today but no luck. Found a geocaching sticker but thats about it.
While phoning a friend, managed to drop my keys down the drain.. DAMMIT!
retrieved them and went on my way.

After looking for a good 30 minutes, couldn't find this little sucker.

I think this one has been muggled, because we found the Official Geocache sticker that usually goes on the cache on top of a nearby drain and a zip lock bag near the drain as well. We could not find the cache, and we did not see any other remains of a cache, but me thinks it has been vandalised. A cache check is definitely in order for this one.

Needs some maintenance, very very damp and soggy. Probably needs a few days in the sun.

Love this cache and the thought and construction that went into it. TFTC!

Quick find meow for now

Found it with no problem - good idea for a cache. TFTC x

It was fairly soggy inside!

Wonderful cache, well done on the obvious hard work. As other have said its getting very wet.
Grabbing a few caches in the area while passing through on our 'round the world' tour.

Thanks for setting this up.

Log bit damp.
Very clever & appropriate cache. TFTC.

Very creative! All damp though. TFTC

Favourite point for the great container. Unfortunately it is getting a bit damp and starting to fall apart. Also the place I found it is a bit exposed as the foliage is dying around it. Might need some maintenance and to be moved a bit. TFTC

Yay

A lot of thought and effort went into this cache. Easy to find which was fun for the kids. :X

Great cache container, top idea, alas the water has started to soak on in.. Might need some maintanace soon to prevent further damage... Thankd

Found it today on an 8 hour caching spree with club_bindi and JYGE.
I crept quietly around the back and made this easy find. To my disappointment when opening the container I discovered this clever cache is suffering from moisture damage. Very quirky indeed. TFTC.

Very nice idea, but water is slowly becoming its enemy. Found with mrryanmurray and club_bindi.

Nice - very nice!

A brilliant cache we enjoyed the thought behind putting this little beauty together. Took a little while to retrieve as I was battling with the cache guards....Geo-gf was amused by my antics. HA I got the prize in the end.

Thx for a fun cache harroanchook

Very easy to spot this cache as it looks like the surrounding area has recently been cleared. I like the effort which has gone into creating this clever and fitting cache. The log is slightly damp but was still able to sign it. My daughter swapped a monkey with a car from the cache.

Great cache with a lot of effort and nice start to the day.
The problem is - your work is slowing deteriorating - Today the front was off, and the pages are coming apart. It's soggy, and the innards are getting wet (- the logbook).
Otherwise, awesome cache, thanks for the effort.
adding it to my favourites.

Extremely easy find

Found it between showers. Unfortunately it had not escaped those showers. The container, the log and everything in it was absolutely soaked. The container was full of water and the sponges of course had soaked everything up. I wrung them out, but everything was so wet that I decided the best thing for it was to take the whole thing home with me and dry it out. I hope to put it back in the next few days.

Took this cache home overnight to dry out. I've now replaced it but its in a bit a sad state. The owner may wish to check it and perhaps give it a truly watertight container. Cheers

Oh wow what an interesting container! Unfortunately someone had left the lid off and the container was full of water. We dried it off as best we could. TFTC.

1st one I've found

Love this cache, kudos to harroandchook! It was perched a little precariously but I nestled it a little better so hopefully it isn't going anywhere! SL TFTC!

Nice work has gone into this cache and it's very fitting for the location. Had to be careful as there was a lady cleaning up her backyard and watching me like a hawk. TFTC
Cheers

I followed my GPS and quickly found the cache. It was in an area that didn't seem right but it's been in place for a while so it doesn't look like it's going anywhere soon. Nice bit of work into this one. I've found quit a few caches like this before many of them hidden with a whole bunch of others. Without a hint those can take a while to find. Thanks for the cache.

Love the effort that has gone into the cache. Can't say that the area is particularly appealing. Nevertheless, TFTC.

This was my last cache on this Australia Trip. And what a cache. a real beauty made with lots of love. Thank you for this one. I had lots of fun caching in Australia. All the caches are nice an bigger than in Germany. That makes swapping easyer. I will be certainly back and cant wait for more. Thank you to the Australian Geocaching community. and "auf Wiedersehen" from a german Cacher.

Seemed like it took an age for my GPS to settle down. Maybe it doesn't like the rain. After a short search cache was located in a well hidden spot. TFTC, great theme.

This one hand me looking for quite some time, I passed by GZ and the cache several times before it was spotted.

What a wonderful cache, so very inventive, just loved it!!

Got to this one and went great! Started my search put a shoe in the creek wasnt getting happy! Then I spotted it. Nice cache TFTC

13.20pm, GAFF3, Took a bit of looking around but Geoson came up with the goods.

Great cache in good condition. SL.

TFTC harroandchook

TFTC SL. Great hide. Awesome container.

TFTC SL. Great cache I loved te design.

It's been a long time since I've been in the area and had only found one H&C cache before. This one has become something of a legend, with good reason. It wasn't the easiest find, as the trails seemed to go to another spot. Full marks for creative effort. TFTC

Third time is always the charm

Got to the library and noticed that there was a muggle sitting near the seats out the front of the library, so walked down the ramp to the back of the library. Scouting around for a bit I find a possible cacher's trail, and within minutes had the cache in hand. Now I can see why there's so many favourites logged against this one, and why they've commented as such, this cache is without a doubt the best that I've seen so far honestly Ensuring that there were no muggles present - quickly signed the log, tucked everything back the way I got it and then quickly replaced the cache in its hide.

TN, SL, left a card, TFTC harroandchook you've just earned yourself another favourite

Tried another attempt on this cache, parked opposite the library and made my way down to GZ thankfully no-one in the park at the time. After wandering around aimlessly checking my IPhone screen for where it could be hidden, I called yet another DNF on it and headed off to my own cache to do some maintenance work on it.

Hard but fun. Our GPS kept on getting lost. :]

When sevabo and I arrive here and we walk past the one drunk muggle who was doing the graffiti on the library wall while another muggle who drinks Jim Beam watch him doing it. We found the cache quick and easy. TFTH SL

there were 4 drinking muggles in the shelter... yuk!! we managed to avoid them and found the cache easily and nice hide too thanks for leading us here

Found with casey.p. Awesome cache. Thanks harroandchook

very quick find, very fancy hide!
thanks for the cache!

Great cache very creative

Found it while night caching!

Found on a sunday walk.

Great one!

More good effort on the cache container. Certainly well done indeed. SL TFTC

I used to practically live in this library as a young boy. There would be a lot of books in there I read!

The cache was an easy find and well made.

T: NOT A BEAR Travel Tag

TFTC.

Amazing cache, with lots of goodies. This one was obviously well thought out, congrats to the owners.

Like the quirkiness Lots of treasure in here.

When I first found the cache, all I could think about was why it was so special... Now I know. And a suitable location!! Love it.. TFTC TNLN

Found this cache with akkatracker and aniisawesome!

I saw the container and thought, ok it's just a system/box, then I opened it up and WOW! What an amazing find!

HARROANDCHOOK you are truly the greatest hiders! I found most of yours today and I'm glad I did you are the best hiders EVER!

I recall venturing here a number of years ago to find a cache in this area. When Zac and I ventured over we discovered it wasn't in the old location. It had us scratching our heads (or in Zac's case resorting to picking up large sticks and trying to take my eye out). Eventually I realised that we were looking for a much larger cache and that narrowed any further hiding options to ... one. BINGO! We were very impressed with the cache and the contents. Unfortunately we didn't have anything to swap, so we left it as. Oh we did drop in two travel bugs.

Very cool box )

Found with Slaytornator and Aniisawesome. Original-Unique!!! Aniisawesome made the find. He said "What's so special about this" Then he opened the cache... Haven't seen anything like this but actually had the same idea! TFTCTNLNSL
*FAVOURITE POINT AWARDED*- I knew I had to stock up on these.

another excellent cache,tftc.

Great cache! Awesome effort on the container! TFTC

What a brilliant cache. It would have been better if is was in the libary. TFTC

GREAT cache! Thanks. What a shame you couldn't get it into it's natural environment! Many TFTC.

What a shame this brilliant craftsmanship is not where it belongs. Still great to discover. TNLN. TFTC.

Geokid seemed to know exactly where to look, while geo mum was still trying to get the phone to work. What a brilliant cache, would have been even better in its intended environment. Well done and thanks!

Second of two today, love the container!

Second & last for the day. Easy find after using your senses. Quite a bit of effort went into making this cache. Worth the effort. TNLNSL TFTC

Another Harroandchook cache I still needed to do so after work tonight was the go.
What a great cache with a lot of effort put into it.
Great works guys!

A quick detour on my way through Baulkham Hills. My GPSr was giving me an accuracy of 9m today so it was necessary for me to look a little wider than usual. It really didn't matter because it only took a couple of minutes for the container to reveal itself. I took it to the other end of the carpark to sit on a log and inspect the contents. I had heard about the creativity of this cache and was not disappointed with what I found. This is a well presented cache and worthy of the favourite points it has received. After signing the log and grabbing some happy snaps I waited for a few muggles to disappear before returning the container to its hide. I'm currently out of favourite points but it is on my list to get one when I have some available. Well done Harroandchook on a fun cache. "Blah" to the staff who wouldn't let you place the cache in the library!!!!
(Did notice that the back of the "container" is in need of a glue job.)

Reperio at 1455. Arrived to GZ just as the weather turned sour, and was hoping it held out until I had signed the log, and after opening the cache I'm glad it did. Don't think I was quite expecting what I found in there, but it was fantastic. This would have been great in the library. Very well done!

Gratias.

In fast, out fast, enjoyed the creativity. TFTC

Made a special trip for this and the nearby Princess. The cache is beautifully crafted - such a shame it has been shelved in such a wet habitat. GeoDaughter went on her own trip after retrieving the cache, victim of the slippery ground.

The whole Geofamily got to admire this magnificent work of fiction. Thanks harroandchook for such an interesting edition. TNLN SL.

Relogging my old finds.

Well this was a unique experience. A beautifully created cache. We stumbled upon some other geocachers, it was funny to watch as we both tried to figure out if the other part were muggles or geocachers! Thanks for the awesome cahce HarroandChook.

Extremepc took me to this location and left me to work out where GZ was However the cache was soon to hand signed the log book only to see what we thought was muggles but to our supprise we meet the Bidgies family and their two very excited geo boys also finding their fifth cache for the day TFTC

# for today: 4 TOD: Early evening,Conditions: Fine, Cache Condition: Excellent, Others: Nil, Notes - Nil

What a brilliant cache!!!!!
Harroandchook are fast becoming my favourite hiders!!! So much effort and thought.

Nice quick find...Awsome cache contanier.
Cheers.

A lot of work went in this cache tftc

A lot of work went in this cache tftc

I too had done the previous one here. Once I trusted the GPS the container was in hand fairly quickly. All I can say is WOW what a lot of effort has gone into this. Loved it and it would have been nice to have it inside. Highly recommended. Thanks harroandchook, a great one to finish the day with.

nice cache, would have been great if the original idea worked out! TFTC.

Found it on first go but it took us round 5 minutes. Love a game of Hide and Seek. Best cache ever. kk_cool has done it again. (with geodad of course.) TFTC!!

Thanking for the find. Great effort on the creation of this pretty cache

Very nice! fantastic cache, found fairly quickly but the presentation was a delight.

took/swapped for a couple of little things, details i forget (in logbook) but we made sure to be fair.

Wonderful, TYVMFTC

A suspicious muggle was looming

Very suspicious muggle about

Lets hope this cache can survive a downpour, it looks vulnerable to me.

Thanks harroandchook, a great piece of cache fabrication.

Took a little while to find, but what a cache worth finding ..... a piece of art .. fantastic. Thanks for going to so much effort. A true geocaching experience. TFTC

Went for this one earlier in the day but there was someone suspicious looking who may or may not have been a cacher so I didn't go any further. Returned later and found the cache in a different area to where the other person had been lurking. l was expecting a lot from this cache after reading the previous logs and it delivered! Thanks for the effort that was put into constructing this, it will be another "favourite". Probably would have been harder to find if it was hidden in the library. My third find for the day. SL TNLN TFTC!

What a work of art! Don't think its likely we'll see another cache like this! Grabbed the LOTR geocoin, dropped off some glittery swag (polished obsidian and a city to surf medallion). Glad to have found this unique cache Thanks for putting in so much thought and effort, it makes for a great caching experience! *favourited*

LOVED this cache, the hunt (through the trash) was exciting & the find (the treasure) was amazing! Really well done, would definitely recommend this one...took pocket watch left geocoin "Lord of the caches"....TFTC

Did the original cache which was near GZ ,now archived some time ago, so had some local knowledge of the area.
Well done "harroandchook" on the originality style cache container, the first of it's type we have seen
and it will probably will be the only one of this type we will see.
The cache name and container are very appropriate for it's location. TNLNSL.TFTC.

This was our first of six for today and I have to say, my absolute favourite! We found it reasonably quickly, though I had already looked past it when the geohubby extracted it. Congratulations harroandchook on the work you have put into this cache! It was wonderfullly presented- a great pity you couldn't have matched it with the library hide! There was a gorgeos little pocket watch there which I would have gladly swapped had I had something as a worthy swap. Took a geocoin. TFTC and all your great efforts!
