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.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am 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 page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

No DNF from me as I didn't get to search.
Wandered in to check out GZ despite numerous DNFs & a couple of Needs Maintenance logs.
Arrived at GZ & was just about to throw myself into the search when my phone rang.
Geo-partner advising that Park staff were in the area & we were parked in a spot that may not have been well-received.
Thank goodness for Park staff & mobile phones.
As I turned I saw the rather large brown snake, that had been curled where I was just about to thrust my unprotected hand, slowly slither further out of sight.
In my, & the snake's, best interests I thought it was best to move on.

As this cache has NOT been found since 27-04-2014 & has a string of 11 DNFs & 2 unanswered Needs Maintenance logs I think it should be archived & the snake left in peace.

It's not there

Looked everywhere. Cache is gone.

Cheers,
BogCotton.

All we saw was a reasonably new Axe at the base of a nearby tree. Maybe the cache has been murdered.

Although I saw the list of DNF's I thought I would give it a look, and well predictably I come away empty handed as well.

No luck, i think this one is gone

Nothing!

As the previous visitors, we think this cache is not active anymore... We had a look around where we think it should be and came up with nothing. Maintenance?

Hmmm not where I think it should be

Found the location but no cache

Found a spot where it looks like it SHOULD be..... given the lateness of the day, tired kidlets and the last couple of logs am inclined to leave this one for now

It ain't here no more! Searched for near an hour. Its gone!

Looked for while but mini geo cachers are getting hungry

MIA

Great spot - needs maintenance - very wet

TFTC

Thanks for the cache!

Nice and simple find this one despite walking past it.

Not to hard a find. Didn't even attempt to open the log book though, soaked is an understatement!!

Found it, only a little bush bashing, very exposed, beware moguls. New log put into snap lock bag, old log waterlogged and full of ants. TFTC.

Kids found while we watched on from the path

Nice easy find TFTC

The cache has known better days. Easy find once we found gz. Tftc

On holiday from WA to visit my son and his family. He wanted to try geocaching so I gave him my phone with app and off he went. He soon found it and returned to look after his son while my daughter-in-law and myself when to find it. Quick find as it was totally uncovered. Inside of container full of water and there is an old log that is water logged. New log OK. TFTC as it encouraged my son to take us to this area.

Fount it out in the open a bit andthe ants seem to like the container. Signed and covered a little better. TFTC.

After a DNF at the tool shed I headed over to this one, found it pretty quickly. Cache is full of ants. TFTC

Perhaps someone left some ham. Ants, ant & more ants.

After a bit of tripping around in the bush I found an ant nest, passed a note to one of the ants and went on my way. TFTC

Must have missed checking in at this one at the time but found it a week ago!

Didn't have a pen but took a photo to confirm cache find. A great day out with myjet and the geo kids

Found it with team Pyne and our two youngest geokids. A great day at the botanical gardens. Thank you

quick find, very exposed.

Left some treasure.

Nice new spot. Tftc

Great hide. TFTC

Nice quick find with geodaughter. Beautiful day at the gardens today. TFTC.

Found this easily with my little kids. I think it could be rated more easily, say 1.5 difficulty.

I found this geocache using the Geocaching Intro App. TFTC!

I found this geocache using the Geocaching Intro App. TFTC!

Insanely easy compared to the toolshed one that we never found. TFTC

Found on a event day doing 3-4 caches around the grounds signed the new log the rust old cache may need ATT but alls good tftc

Found with forbiddenground, on the Space Event day. TFTC.

First I looked in the wrong spot, but then I turned around and tada, there it was. TFTC, Mark

Walking is very good for you TFTC Greetings from Finland

2nd cache for the pupil free day

On our way back through Garden after nice day there, third (and last) cache of the day. Thanks.

Found it! TFTC!

Easy find on lovely sunny day. TFTC

Didn't find, but didn't look too hard either. This was a trial run of caching offline for my impending overseas visit. Offline caching worked fine (although I only had access to the last few logs, no more) but I clearly took the wrong path and as I had toddler and 3 month old in tow couldn't do too much bush bashing to get to the right spot. Will be back.

Veered off the path and quickly spotted the cache. Tftc

A nice quick find. Tfc

I am logging late as I thought I had logged already but alas there was no smiley on the map. Now there will be.

Very nice tftc

Tftc

We are logging this one late, We missed this one the last time we were in the Gardens due to Geo kids wanting to go home. We werent able to sign the log as it was wet and soggy. Picture taken for verificication.

Birthday so I got to choose what we did on the public holiday! Caching at the gardens it was

Cache needs a little work and log damp but a find! TFTC

Lively walk although geo kids complained. Waterlogged cache.

Found this one in a lovely part of the gardens never ventured to before. Enjoyed the stroll listening to a Brass band playing along the way. The cache is in need of some attention being waterlogged although still able to mark the logbook. TFTC Sniffme!

Ewww! Very soggy loggy! A cute little bird sat and watched us.

Nice stroll through the park then some bush land and found the cache quite quickly, tftc.

Found on IOI 2013, TFTC

Found during 25th IOI held in Brisbane.

Thanks for the Cache. / Danke für den Cache.

Woowee! Dove into the murky liquid within this cache to retrieve a stashed, dry logbook within a ziplock bag. Luckily I brought my scooba gear with me

Logged as Ash & Bear. Didn't get to try out the music box in the lid, bit to wet and rusted over, new log is still in good condition though

Founf it, very wet inside

Bit of bush bashing required. Geokids found it easily.

Walked to GZ and nearly walked straight past it! Was getting my bearings then I looked down and the cache was right there staring at me Opened it up and it was quite wet. The current log book was saturated and unsignable, so I dropped in a new bag and log. Left the old one there too. TFTC.

I was following Matt to GZ when he said it's a bit further. He then looked down and the cache was right at his feet! Quick & easy find . The logbook is wet so we put in a new logbook & bag . Found with Matt_Eth . TFTH sniffme .

Looked in the wrong place D=

Found this one just sitting in open and all soaking wet. Will email a pic as we couldn't sign the log. Thanks

Log book irreparable. Sorry didn't have a replacement on me. Log book bag had a cm of water in it.

Nice container, very different! Easy find. Nice spot. Followed the top path out!

Cache still waterlogged and lying on the ground. Needs maintenance.

From Sydney to Newcastle, to Central Coast, to Watagan NP, to Tapee, to Coffs Habour, to Ballina allong the Gold Coast up to Brisbane and return to Sydney we found many nicely hidden containers.
We would like to thank everyone for showing us such nice locations and of course, the numerous caches.

Thanks and best greetings from Germany
Team sissifalke

Easy find but cache very waterlogged. Caching with Clarbot. TFTC.

Sitting in open. Very wet.

TFTC. Still waterlogged. Needs a new container.

Had previously failed to find this one in our pre-GPS, print-outs-from-Google-Maps caching days. I had some time spare this afternoon and figured that nothing nicer would be to stroll through the botanical gardens and find a cache.

This time there was no problem locating the cache. Hurrah. Even better this one has a very special log book that is in a bag full of water. So instead of signing I guess I water-logged it. There is another bag full of water in the cache that looks like it has some slimy trinkets.

Still it's lovely to be out in the trees on a sunny afternoon. TFTC.

too much water

full of water

Quick found,

TFTC

Georode

I explore surroundings and found cach immediately then I was scared of big spider and I prefered quickly left.]] beautiful container.], but paper inside was damp a little bit.

Not much of Maggie left but cache OK but damp. Nice walk through the bush. TFTC.

A little damp. L.Annie bug drained alot of water out of this one. Put in a new zip lock for the log. TFTC

I wasn't appropriately attired for a bush bash today, even with a change of footwear.

Easy find as it's out in the open!

Magpie, bless her green cotton sox, was waterlogged. I tipped out the water and put the swag in the existing ziplock bag. Nurseyjulie had a clean ziplock bag, so we put the damp logbook in it

Nice find, TFTC sniff me

Merry Xmas for Christmas Maggie! Found the remains of the original hide hanging broken, and the cache nearby - very wet(!) inside, it really needs some maintenance, but found a dry spot on the log to sign after tipping out the water. Pity, as this looked like an interesting hide!

A nice but hot stroll around the gardens today... arrived at GZ and searched for quite a while in the wrong spot... certainly helps to search the right spot.

Looks like the container has had better days, nice idea though.

Thanks sniffme

Bushy

Moist one but a nice one

Also grabbed trackable au3nr1

Caching with jadhoo for a Christmas celebration - how great that we could go to Christmas Maggie !!! TFTC

Last one in the gardens for today.

Wet log. Might need some TLC.

I was quite disappointed in the state of this cache obviously noone maintaining its quality but TFTC all the same

Found on a caching in the area while visiting from Sydney. It's in very poor condition and is likely not as the CO intended.

Is out in the open. Is not attached anymore. Parts seem missing. Help!

Log is saturated and the ants have made it a nest. The tin is out in the open. Please clean it up and put a new log in the tin
