No response from owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note.. 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.
This needs to go. It has been 8 months since anyone could find it and the owners don't seem to care.
Undid the obvious bits, but when I heard voices above me I put things as per I arrived and got the hell out of Dodge before someone saw me and caused a fuss.
We found the white velcro on the white pipe but we couldn't find the container. CO needs to have a look at this one I think.
Scary little lane. I think the velcro fiber strap is missing because I found the cache in plain sight. I tried to hide it a little better. TFTC.
NIce quick find on a very quiet afternoon. Nobody about as I grabbed the cache and signed the log.
Tftc it's in good condition

1146 - Found this one easily this afternoon and it is in okay condition now, just a little damp. Signed the log at 4:13pm. Thanks for the cache sniffme.
Noone was around at the immediate GZ this afternoon, but it's hard not to think there could be lots of eyes upon you here. Quick find, and well tucked in, but I agree with others that I'm not sure it's in the original spot. Thx again Sniffme.
Well we found ourselves down a back alley for this one. A quick search and MrMeccano had this one on hand. Nice title!
Second in our 4 cache walking cluster. GPS a bit confused about this one and we ended up going quite a difficult route, including jumping off a big wall. GeoNewbie Teddy spotted this one while I was still fretting about the GPS reading 38M to go! Not sure if the coords off or just GPS flakiness, but was happy to tick it off and keep walking to the next one. TFTC!
This cache was one of the ones I grabbed while in Queensland for 40 hours. I arrived in at Queensland Airport and then grabbed a hire car for the next 40 days. I had time to do some caching in-between attending a sad family matter in Noosa. While in Queensland I had a chance to cache just the south side of Brisbane, Around Noosa and along the Sunshine Coast. I was pressed for time and chose to forgo sleep one night to maximize my time while in Queensland. The Majority of my caching was done at night and I could not believe the amount of toads in the state now. All in all I had a great time caching up here before heading back down south. TFTC
I should know better not to go looking for such caches at night - like I did last time.
Today, I pulled up at the muggleless GZ (thank God) and had the cache in hand in under 30 seconds. It is in good condition. Not sure it is where it is supposed to be though? Happy to have this one crossed off. TFTC sniffme

Spotted it quickly this time, with no prying eyes or plumbers cracks in sight.
I don't think it's where it's supposed to be, it wasn't "attached" to anything if you know what I mean. But TFTC anyway!
Great hint - but first looked in the wrong ones!! Immediately spotted the error of my ways and found it in an instance! TFTC
Walk straight past it initially, but when I turned around it was so obvious. TFTH
it's not that is it
cant believe the things that people walk past every day and dont see

Lots of funny little roads in this part of town and I think 'sniffme' knows them all . No real trouble finding this one, but it would have been a very ugly affair if the builders had been at work. The plastic bag is shot to hell. Sorry I didn't have a spare, but I'd just replaced one in another cache and you weren't getting the one my lunch was in . TN/LN/SL
Grabbed this on a morning stroll while in Brisbane for work. The building site workers seemed fairly oblivious to my find
Brahms6 and Wazza & Kara found this one on an early morning sojourn before heading into meetings and then back home to Cairns. I must admit I LMAO and still am at teh combination of cache name and owner. As soon as we saw it oin the area we had to go and look in to it. A quick endoscopy and we had the little pile in hand. TFTC
I just loved the name of this cache. It had instant appeal and Brahms6 and I just had to make an attempt to locate it.
Fortunately it was early morning and besides the garbo, not too many others were up and about.
A brief search at the GZ and Brahms6 had the cache in hand.
TNLN but just had to list this cache as a favourite.
"Plumbers Crack by sniffme".......absolutely hilarious.

Up in Brisbane for the day from Adelaide (for work) and I had some time to spare ... this grouping of caches looked like a nice walk.
The building site over the raod had me concerned, but they were too preoccupied to notice. TFTC sniffme

I parked at the start of the lane as there were builders vehicles near where I wanted to go.
I walked up and spied the cache. A quick look around to make sure the builders (probably plumbers) were looking the other way and I had the cache.
Putting it back was a simple operation. TFTC.

Easy to spot from the road. It was a good after-breakfast stroll and warm-up for the cache-virgins in the group.
On a roll finding without the GPS, which must be under the seat in the car, in Melbourne... with the clue and a look the cache was mine.. 1/3 for the day

Attempted this one with "Caching Cosmo" the Geodog in tow. However a middle aged muggle woman was more interested in us,than retreiving her washing from the line.
Until next time Thanks for the Hunt!!!!

There was a wheelie bin obstructing access to the cache, but managed to reach round it. Unlike the previous finders, found the mate to the outer attachment, but as my reach was impeded, couldn't re-attach.

Quick find for Gunnie69 & I today ...
Gunnie had it spotted as we drove up....
TNLNSL (& replaced in a slightly less conspicuous position
Thanks sniffme ...

Inbound with Kaisho53 and Gaz'n'Kab as observers, I spotted the cache before I got out the car... So, while the crew stayed put, I brought the container back for the ceremonial signing of the log... [^]
I felt around for the mate of the outer attachment but, nothing obvious so I placed it back from where I found it, but a fraction further back... It does stick out quite obviously. Perhaps like the cache name...
Cheers sniffme.

Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.
A nice easy find, however the worker muggles were giving us some strange looks

Hmm too dark for a decent look around - but I couldn't spot anything obvious. TFTH.
at 14:02. No trouble.
TFTC Sniffme. The cache is fine though it may not be attached as intended.

Easy find on a Sunday afternoon with no muggles or tradies around only Stairman1 and geodog. The container was very exposed. We signed the log and placed it back in a safer place. TFTC
Found this cache from the drivers seat. Sent goldielover out to retrieve it.

Found it ok, but was sprung by the builders across the road. I took the cache with me when I left as I couldn't get the log out, and went to another cache thinking I'd go back after they had left to put it back. Drove up later on to find the builder examining the cache location, so I told him what it's all about, as he was obviously very suspicious. He said he had seen a previous finder and they wondered if it was a drug exchange, so I told him that I would let the community know and that he might get a few surreptitious waves from future finders.

Found on a New Farm run with Lokipagan. Nice and early so fairly Muggle free. Rather spooky cache for me as Mother's madien name was Plummer and was married in a church in Raff St. How bizarre is that! Fairly quick find with obvious features in the area. TFTC
Hopefully all the neighborhood muggles were still asleep as we had no plausible reason to be here ! Nice quick find by mr Modelbears . Tftc
Thankfully there was no one about as I found this one. I didn't have enough eyes to check all the places the muggles could be watching from though! Glad that it didn't take long. TFTC
Found it by using hands instead of eyes. Once you're in the area, you should walk a couple of blocks down Merthyr Rd. to the intersection at tiny Samuel St. and check out the fine examples of graffiti art while it lasts. TFTC!
Seriously urban cache. I looked here and there. One last feel along there, and Quitter's Luck. Woohoo. Love your work people.
After about 10 minutes waiting for a muggle across the street to turn around i was into and shortly after came up with the goods.
Plenty of vantage points to be spotted from for this one.
A good hide noe the less.

We walked up the lane way to GZ. It looked as though everyone was still sleeping.
At GZ we hunted around for a while till we found the cache. Luckily we didn't seem to attract any attention from any of the small WC windows that look down on GZ.

Our third first to find for the day! Thanks. A day off university definitely does have its advantages for geocaching.
Didn't take to long to find this one. Worker muggles across the road, but they completely ignored me, focused on their work, which meant I was able to hunt without distraction. A very clever hide! SL in the car, took some photographs, and left.
TFTC, sniffme.
