As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it 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 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.

Hi harroandchook, just wondering if this cache will make a return anytime soon? Cheers!

It's gone so we'll need to create a new version to replace the old. I don't like the sound of the photographer neighbour though! Might have to make it a bit more obvious so that you don't need to create so much suspicion in future! Hope to be back up and running in a few weeks. Thanks for your patience everyone

Visiting from Canberra for Xmas. I had a good hard search for this one. Nothing obvious, but I wasn't expecting that. I was closely observed by the resident directly opposite, who even took photos of my activities. No doubt I looked like a terrorist. Anyway I ignored him, but it made a more thorough search rather tricky. Thanks anyway.

Might try again at a latter date

I've searched for this cache probably more than a year ago now, when I was much less experienced. Having found quite a few various types of cache since there, I was fairly certain of the type of hide I was looking for, however either my assumptions appear to be incorrect, or the cache is missing. Hope it's the former!

1st find ever

Great hide and easy find thanks to a great hint. Tftc SL

Giant menacing spider prevented a thorough search. Will definitely be back

A bit outside the square. A bit of a challenge for us newbies.

Today I planned a nice walk around the Baulkham Hills.
I walked along beautiful tracks and boardwalks in the park.
I found many caches on my way, and all of them were placed with great effort and thought, well camouflaged. Some took quite a bit of time to find because all of them were unique.
The trail was so much fun.

Thank you
Team sissifalke

Aww yeah

Quick find, having seen a hide just like that in a recently re-released cache.

Log was a bit damp, removed some crumbling scraps of paper as the cache was getting full and would have had trouble getting the damp log back in without ripping.

TFTC!

Looks like a nice place for a walking it wasn't so windy! No log in cache just some tatty bits of paper. Left new log. Tftc

not too many muggles around after the rain today. thanks for the clue or I would never have found it! I am still learning the ingenuity of those who hide these things. This is my fifth find so I'm still very new and all. TFTC

Clever. Put some paper in.

Nice clever hide

Found it

#743 (2 of 2 today) (Streak day 189)

Well, quite a few people in and around the park when I arrived, and more arrived while I was there. Made it all more interesting...
Realised where GZ had to be as I stopped the Hademobile, but a few surreptitious glances and feels revealed nothing. Decided the fake phone call would cover a bit of hovering, so tried that. Checked the hint - no idea.

Then I looked from an angle I hadn't tried before. Aah. There it is.
Then I understood the hint - although I would have recognised the cache from a number of similar hides.

Still "talking on the phone", and with no one closer than 50 metres, I made the grab and wandered away.
Completed signing duties out of sight of all the people at the oval and walked back a different way to make the replace.

Awesome hide! Took me ages to find and it made me feel so stupid when I did as it was actually so easy. No muggles. Good job

That one was tricky but we were looking too hard. Took a 6 year olds logic to see it. Well done. Log needs replacing.

Quick find for the streak SL in empty spot needs replacing with something more appropriate TFTC

Very clever indeed but needs new log sheet you could have found something better than a bus ticket makes it very hard to write log. it is also wet.

Tftn

Nice cache needs new paper full and soaked
TFTC

Needs a new log book.

Being a week day there wasn't a soul around. We've seen this type of hide a number of times and spotted the cache as soon as we got to GZ. Still good to see though.

Down the thin black line again this morning rather earlier than expected. Thought I had set the alarm for 5:00am it wasn’t till I was half way down the expressway that I heard the time on the radio 3:30am Yikes. Decided that returning home wasn’t an option so continued on to the Bella Vista- Seven Hills districts to attempt a few caches, Great Cache. TFTC

Serious brain malfunction on that one. Haven't seen one like before. Very clever

Perfect hide! Took me 5 mins or so to find it, 1st cache of the day!

Few left over muggles after the game (glad I didn’t come earlier) but arrow pointing exactly where I suspected on arrival made for a quick find of a familiar and favourite camo.

Nice quick find ... could do with a new log.

TFTC SLTNLN

The log is getting a bit too fat for the camo.
Nice hide

Thanks For The Cache harroandchook, full log to follow.

My 200th. very clever. thank you

TFTC

TFTC. Possibly needs new log. A bit obvious to see.

Nice easy find

We had been introducing one of kids friends to geocaching and was out west starting to do some different caches. We had seen this type of hide before and the kids know the tell tale type sign so they made a quick find. The log is wet and people seem to be signing a parking ticket so we did the same. We completed teh signing duties and re hid. TFTC

Needed a fairly easy one for the day that didnt need to be in the middle of the bush. Was expecting something completely different. After finding, the hint had me in a aha momment.. Needs a new log though.. SLTFTC!!

Everlasting CIH before me and yes she is still alive and she didn't zapped or get burned! TFTH SL

Good hide spot... not many muggles at the time... Signed the log at 10.10 am with sevabo and skyejam. Thanks harroandchook.

Accompanied with Everlasting and Skyejam, thanks for bringing us here.

Ahh, a quick find by super Lib! It helped that we have seen one like this in Lismore. We signed the bus ticket in lieu of a log. It is all a little damp so I tucked it in a little further. Thanks harroandchook, great history.

Found it on the second attempt. Quite tricky. Walking the dog so had no pen or paper. Although the parking receipt was still there.

Wow what great camo really looked like it was meant to be thier. Log may need some maintenance a bit damp and falling apart

Ingenious lovin it. : ) TFTC

The hint helps... Found it after much searching finally! Legendz. TFTC.

Quick find, though needs maintenance. We could only sign a parking ticket that someone has left in this cache. The original log was completely water logged. TFTC.

Had me scratching my head after doing some laps around GZ. Luckily I had seen this type in Cairns, so I took a punt and sure enough the gamble paid off and I was able to sign the bus ticket.

Found despite a handful of muggles.

Was certain it was in one particular spot, but I was very wrong.

Made the find after reading the logs. Sneaky!

Lots of rosellas around.

Thanks for the cache!

Good one. Kids found it eventually.

Yay! Found it on the second attempt. Can't believe I missed it first time around.

Feeling decidedly silly after reading all the log entries about an easy find. We were in the right place but couldn't find the cache.

TFTC! Found this a while ago and forgot to log it.

13/07/13. 7:02 AM. Cache #745. Current streak: 307 days. First cache in an early morning run that started here and then headed west on Team Sunderland's mini powertrail along the heritage walk. I've seen a few of this type of hide before, so it was quickly spotted. (Keen on keno, heheh). Log was soggy as others have said, so I signed a Macquarie Centre parking ticket and slotted it in place; that can be the new log now. TFTC }:)

Great hide! Seen this only once before. It is great to be back in Australia. I was last caching here seven years ago. The log is so wet it is almost impossible to write on it. I just sort of left an imprint on it.

Clever hide - first of its kind for us! The log is VERY wet and is falling apart & will need some maintenance. SL / TFTC

The clue was not making sense to me so I sent out 2 distress calls but neither responded so I kept looking. It helps when you look around all sides and then you see something and the clue finally makes sense. SL #896 on streak day #363 TFTC

Great cache. Found it before but forgot to log. Brought a first-timer along. He was impressed!! Tftc

*paper needs replacing. Sodden *

Ta

Great spot amongst all the muggles. Very wet. Needs maintenance.

Logs wet. Needs maintenance. Didn't have small enough zip lock otherwise would have done myself

Spent 20 minutes looking, but could not find this one.

Work finished early today so decided to go out with Footyfanatics and cover off a few in this area. Love this cache. Spent months waiting for one like this. Easy park and find. Stopped here for sustenance and a debrief. Nice place with a few muggles kicking and throwing a ball around but unaware of what we were
up to. TFTC.

Clever hide but log soaked through. Still managed to write on it. TFTC

Found small container intact but no logbook.

Very sneaky very sneaky love it tftc

Found it with family

Tftc very sneaky

TFTC found with DJTROY & sneffi92

TFTC great hide

Awesome hide !

There wasn't too much activity in the sports park this afternoon - just a few game people waving what appeared to be hockey sticks about across the other side. So, was a quick find, spotted with the clue on approach. I'm afraid I was not prepared with a log - so I tore a piece of card and signed that, leaving it behind for the next person. TFTC x

Day 82 - Quick find although could not SL as there was no log, didn't have geobag with me to replace log. Have photo of cache and will email to CO if required to prove my find. TFTC

Found it on second attempt. No log so couldn't sign it. Needs new log

Checked a few spots but once again spotted by the pres

Nice easy find after a walk in the blazing sun. TFTC.

Found it on a sunny Monday. Nice easy find, have seen a few like this now. TFTC

Stopped off at this one on the return journey of a walk through to Windsor Road on the cycleway from Torry Burn Reserve. The sports ground was fairly vacant this afternoon and a quick find was made. The log sheet apears to be almost full but I guess only a small log sheet can fit in this clever hide.

Seen these around , quick fins as there was nobody around today. TFTC

They take some finding the first time but tend to stand out ounce you become aquainted. I have found several of these now. Nice grounds. SL..TFTC

Have been here several times for Kids Footy but have never been able to get to GZ because of muggles. We came here tonight, and not a muggle in sight. I started on one side and GeoMum on the other and she had CIH within seconds. TFTC

Park and grab. Saw one like this near Thornleigh recently.

TFTC.

Picked up in the gloom after finding the nearby Quarry Creek #4. We were struggling a bit until I suddenly spied it. I have previously found waypoints similarly constructed but never before the cache itself. SL TFTC

With night falling and no torch we were concerned that this one might escape us. Fortunately, it was found within 10 mins. Thanks. SL

quick find for a fun cache

TFTC

Great clue!!

Happy to have found it on our second try!! We parked further away to avoid paranoid neighbors across the road.

I still didn't get the hint after discovering the cache until it was explained to me by geosis (echylins) lol.

TFTC enjoyed it!

Geobro(mchylins) finally found it, after looking for it for 30 minutes!... had to explain what the hint meant. :/. TFTC

Tried looking for this at night with geosister. Didn't have too much time as muggles across the road were getting suspicious through the window and a big spider was threatening to eat us.

Will come back another day

Clever hide. The hint was definately usefull for this one.
Thanks

Found whilst out with friends caching in the local area.

Good hide and clue...

Thanks for setting this up

Mud & Kimbo

Really good cache location, lots of muggle activity, liked the camo

Tftc

Very easy find- great container - I have one similar at Quick Response Required in Gordon. TFTC

Nice hide and gave us a good laugh that we had been looking straight at it. Found with geoneice. TFTC

Man,This had me, 30mins later I had it.

Good idea, first one I found like this one. Found with club_bind and mrryanmurray. TFTF
