Hi Rinnie86,
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 listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Could not find used the hint and wasn’t there. Good spot to put a geocache though
GPS and the clue didn't match, but we thought the GPS was off. Found evidence of a cache (see photo) where the clue suggested but no cache for us today.
Looks like this one got muggled and damaged Found like this with @smilelynaomi placed back in a crack between rock walls.
With [@Whippy221](http://coord.info/PR1A6EEZ) Nice sneaky off track find. But was unfortunately opened by muggles, so we put cache in hopefully the correct/similar hidding space.
A great way to keep our little family of 4 entertained in Sydney lockdown!! We set off to Oatley Bush Park doing the only thing we are allowed to do at the moment...exercise!!
Searching & finding this certainly added excitement to our mundane daily walk!!!

The morning was a bit wet but I was determined to clear out all the caches in Oatley park. After parking the car near the playground I made the pleasant walk down to ground zero. After following the hint, I made a quick find! There is a small hole in the side of the container but it hasn’t affected the contents of the cache yet. My first find with the new Gps, thank you!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Our first ever cache. A bit of bush bashing to get to. Current resident inside box, small spider
No dice today... Could be us, we haven't geocached in a while. We will be back though!
Cool climb to find this cache. Whoever finds it next is going to definitely find a cool surprise. Especially if they own bunnies or guinea pigs.
Container is damaged and needs replacing. I think rocks on top have damaged it as container got brittle from the elements.
TFTC! This cache desperately needs maintenance albeit logs are ok. Container is broken. Slightly off course according to clues but at least it's under cover to avoid water damage.
We had a nice walk around Oatley Park and Lime Kiln Head today. This cache was hidden in a fitting spot. A nice path lead to its cosy little home. Thanks!
Great day for some quick mid week caching at Oatley, a place I had heard about but not visited before. Thank you for providing the excuse.
Amazing birds here! Tftc.

I had the right spot (GPS no help but followed hint) judging by previous photos but the cache seems to be missing. Would be good idea if CO could confirm. Great place for a cache when it’s there.
Second time coming past this one, last time there was a group of kids trying to find it! Sneaky location, needed to read the activity log to get some hints!
Shopping done, cooking preparations done, enough sleep, tick, so what else to do for the next 10 hours on Christmas Eve? Well caching is still the best time filler I have ever discovered!
Ventured out to Sydney again today to fill a few more grids and this calender day, good fun, a bit humid however. All caches found easily.

I looked at that spot about 3 times before I actually found it. Could use a new container.
While searching for this one I think I found an abandoned older cache very nearby! Could it be the ghost of an opencaching cache? Or a long forgotten original cache? Regardless, nice spot and thanks for the non trivial hunt.
I came out this way this morning to check out the nearby On A Roll cache that hasnt been found in a while only to find that the area around the GZ is still fenced off and some major construction work is going on.
With that option not on the table i chose to park up on Bay road and approach this cache via the Lime Kiln Bay Circuit Walk.
While the rest of the parklands were busy with muggles out enjoying a nice morning walk the GZ approach i took was quiet except for the wind and the birds.
Thanks to the good clue it didnt take long to find my way up to the GZ and spot the cache.
Unfortunately the container has been cracked and is in need of replacing but due to its placement the container and the log remain dry.
Thanks.

I found today that all the Coords on this Circuit were a tad out , a bit more than usual. I wonder is it because it's the weekend and the heavier Sat use , or is this irrational thinking ? Either way it made life interesting . Thanks for the Fun . Cheers
This one took a bit of thinking and reading everyone’s feedback to lead us in the right direction. After heading up off the road we squeezed through the rock walls and there it was. Lucky we hadn’t had too many Easter eggs over the Easter long weekend as we may have struggled through the passage way. Great find and the kids loved it. Thanks.
Saw this cache was coming up on my bushwalking club and got in front of the group and used the hint to make a quick find while the group just kept on walking by
A beautiful day to be OCW Oldmorty around Oatley. A nice bush walk along the trail had us ascending to find the cache with the hint. TFTC!
OCW morty8888 around Oatley today. Thanks to the hint it was soon CIH . TFTC Rinnie86.
#2283 after retrieving Transposing Oats we still had a bit of time that we could spend here. On the walk here we had a bit of a discussion but soon the GPSr were counting down. Here was where we hit a bit of a snag as the GPSr took us on a bit of a goose chase. Eventually it settled on the location & soon the cache was in hand
With cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. The cache has a hole on it and probably needs some TLC. Thanks for bringing me to the area and thanks for placing the cache

A great afternoon hunting with the team for this old multi cache. After finding Transposing Oats we still had time for a couple more caches so the team heading for this cache. Th eGPSr took some time to settle and as a result the search did take a while, but was found in the end. With the cache in hand, we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache container and log are in good average condition with the container having a hole in it. Thanks for the cache Rinnie86.

Grab this one also whilst out with the crew hunting old school Thanks Rinnie 86 for the placement Cheers
With Foreignnebula being able to squeeze through the crevice, we eventually made our way to a cache find. Neb did the logging duties while we spotted a place nearby to do some aerial reconnaissance for later caches. Brilliant little hide, thanks for the cache!
Found with Foreignnebula on a romp through Mortdale and Oatley!

Took a slight deviation on the way to work today, jumping off the M5 Motorway at King Georges Road, to grab a cache at Peakhurst and a couple more at Oatley Park. This was the 3rd of 3 finds, and 1 DNF, for today.
After suffering a DNF at "Take a Peak" I next turned my attention to this one. Unfortunately the access road down to the cache location was closed today (locked gate at the top of the hill) so I parked the geomobile at Steamroller Park and then headed off down through the scrub until I met up with the road, then followed the road down to the cache location. Then it was up between the rock walls to GZ, where the cache was quickly spotted. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC Rinnie86.
Find #2598
