As there has been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it has been a number of months since the last owner note I am archiving this cache to keep 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 a reviewer (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will 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.

Did not notice all the DNFs and needs maintenance before we stopped for this one, so, since the cache owners have not logged in for more than a year and have no interest, this can go.

Dnf!

Stopped here looking for a 'birthday' cache find. Walked away with a DNF. Such is life.

Stopped on our way home to Leura from Windsor/Richmond, spent only about 10 mins on this one though (Discouraged by prior DNF's) ALso didn't have access to the clue at the time, though if it is there, I suspect the signs (Note plural bit) may have something to do with it? WIll be back!

Cache check please, many DNF's in a row.

Nope no luck for me either, can this be checked.

No luck for us here today. And we were sprung by the muggle neighbour who was concerned about all those people who had been stopping here. We fessed and allayed her fears. But we still didn't find it! Never fear, we'll be back. Cheers... Gaztek

Must be well hidden, no luck for the 5 of us. A lot of scrub has been cleared recently, not sure whether that affects it or not. We'll get it next time!

Looked and looked but didn't find it

Searched for ages with 4 other cachers still couldn't find

What an amazing song these birds have! Thanks for the cache - might not have stopped and listened otherwise - once again caching has brought us to experiences we never would have had!!

Just getting around to logging a few caches that I didnt log before leaving the land of OZ.
TFTC Happy caching!!!

Found this cache at 2:15 pm while on our way to Katoomba for the weekend. Nice clever hide. Nice clothing shop and cafe/resturant nearby. Plus we could hear the Bellbirds nice and clear.
Thanks Smithy's Rule for the hide.

Found with paulyman and marachup on the way back from visiting paulyman's sister in Bilpin. TFTC.

Clever hide. GZ was nice and quiet so we had time to search. Found with snorris and marachup.

My first disguised one. Very impressive. Found with Paulyman and Snorris. TFTC

On the way to Gulgong with Geokid 1 and his mate (a new cacher)...quick find. Log is full. 7 for the day.....TFTC

Another within 5 mins of my house, one I pass every day, and a previous DNF with 3 yr old geopup in tow. Nice quiet early Sunday morning by myself so I gave it a crack. So obvious once you find it! Excellent cammo, very well done!!! SL TFTC

Last one of the day on the way home. Thanks

My last find for the day, as the sun had gone down & it was getting way too dark to keep caching. I looked in what I thought was the obvious spot at first, didn't find anything, then looked more closely & spotted the camo. Good job with the camo, enjoyed this one.

thanks

1025, GAFF1, our second find for the day, it was not quite the hide we were expecting and good camo job at that

No muggles about, SL, cache in good condition.

TFTC Smithy`s_Rule

A quick stop on the way back down the hill. I was looking in the wrong spot (right location) for a while before thinking outside the square and spotting the clever camo. TFTC!

Our first find of the weekend whilst on the way to the Blue Mountains FYAOAL camping event. Nice camo. Thanks!
The Hancock Clan

Found it! After trying this one a few times I can finally kill off another DNF. I jumped to a conclusion and was looking for the wrong sort of container all this time. D'oh! Nice hide. SL TFTC

Reperio at 1810.

This was the final cache of the day before heading back to Newcastle, and once parked at GZ, I searched around for a few minutes looking in all the obvious places before looking in one of the less obvious places and finding the cache. A very nice camo. Certainly wasn't expecting it to be there on approach to GZ.

Gratias Smithy's Rule.

This one had me scratching my head. Searched for about 5 min within a metre, then realised. TFTC SL.

Found this with "Socks" on the way to a Top Ropes Course with Scouts. We search all the likely hidy hole and came up empty. We were just about to leave when one of the scouts says "could this be it" Well! What a tricky hide and nicely constructed. Thanks for the hide Smithy.
Cheers

Found while out with DKMacca on the way to a climbing day with some Scouts. Tricky. TFTC

Good one! I've searched the obvious places first and then gave it a rethink. Early morning find on my way to a 4wd trip. TFTC

Found on an early morning cache cache hunt with Alfyboy.

Been meaning to stop at this one every time i am working up at Lithgow, finally no one in the car park, a bit of a twist to this had me going for the hint wish only confused me more. found it in the end TFTC

On the way home from a caching morning, pulled into the carpark. Started hunting around GZ, but even with the hint, Purplepeopleater and I couldn't locate this cache. We searched for some minutes, before I then moved around a little more and saw the camo...AHH...we had both touch this as well. NICE! SL and replaced. TFTC.

Found this one while out motorcycle caching with King Toblerone.

Missed this one with Hoojar and Ding. We would have liked to spend more time here but it wasn't possible. Maybe next time.

Chip, Ding and I were time poor as we searched for this one. We had no luck, but maybe next time with time on our side we will locate it!

Cheers

A hard one to find with so many Muggles around, nice day so it was worth the wait to find it. TFTC

Extremely clever cache TFTC

Great hide, great find. Thanks guys!

Had me scratching my head, itchin my legs, pullen out my hair, flippen and turning, almost walked away in discrace, then ahah...Gotcha SL..TFTC

The co-ords led me right to the obvious hide, but it took a paf to get this one since it really wasn't what I had expected. Not a great start to my round trip of caching from Springwood to Bell and back in a loop. Nevertheless found. Thanks.

Great hide but had cache in hand relatively quickly. I have to admit it was the fact some of the paint work needs attention that caught my eye. I'm not sure without that it would of been such a quick find.
Nice work

Thanks For The Cache
Found while out on a caching run with geo family

Was looking at the wrong object at first bit then saw the signs

Found with Teambooo, Booo Booo and Glenwarra

Looked at the signs then sat and pondered over there meaning and all be came clear eventually.

TFTC

Not so much a real DNF as I only had about a 30 second search window as the muggle factor was very high.

Might be a good one for a night find.

TFTH

Found together with pjmpjm and GazMag on a day-long geocaching and trig hunting expedition in the Kurrajong/North Richmond/Windsor areas.
This one took a bit longer to find, all three of us struggled until the cache came to hand, it must have been updated, very nicely done.
Thanks for the clever cache.

Found together with rogerw3 and GazMag on a day-long geocaching and trig hunting expedition in the Kurrajong/North Richmond/Windsor areas.

Despite help from GazMag, rogerw3 and I struggled for a while before rogerw3 put his hands on it. Well done! We all thought that this was a very clever update.

Cache was in good order. TNLNSL.

Many thanks to Smithy's_Rule!

Damn! No luck. After reading other logs I guess I'll have to have another look. Cheers

Returning from a quick trip out west I stopped by to search for this one. Shops were now closed so no problem with muggles. Passing traffic was quite light also. The coordinates took me to the sign and so began a fifteen minute search. Nothing! Thinking I would have to concede defeat, I tried one last time and BINGO.. there was the little bugger. A nicely camouflaged micro. Some paint is coming off so maybe a small touch of maintenance wouldn't go astray. After signing the log and grabbing some happy snaps I was on my way having converted this one to a smiley. Thanks Smithy's Rule for your work.

tftc sl quick find with pola 4x4 at about 3am

Mate used to hate micros years ago, sign of laziness but not with u lot so much thinking involved in making them and lota brain wk in finding.
Tanks Acko

Third for the day and a nice easy going cache to pick up while reading my book in the car. TFTC Thanks Smithy's Rule.

Cheers

A nice and easy find once we spotted the hiding spot, and soon later, the cache. Good to have another to add to the map.

We were in Richmond doing some caches and decided to go a little farther to pick up this one. Lucky for us I've seen a lot of this kind of hide lately, so it seemed kind of obvious. Thanks

This was a nice and sneaky hide, not what you thought you were looking for in the first place.

Ahhh... Look really hard, and there it is. No hints.. Hahahaaa. SL tFTC

Spent a little while searching, but could not find.

I got a good lock on GZ however it was pretty hard to search in daylight given the proximity of the shops and muggles therein.

Tried a couple of time to discretely search but came up empty handed.

Will try again next time I come past - hopefully early morn or eveing.

Geo daughter did the honours on this one. good to have little people with you sometimes. Great spot. SL TFTC

This one is probably a small which have had us looking in different spots, where we surely found it.

TFTC.

This little blighter may cause a few headaches!! I, as usual went looking for the wrong thing, and paid the penalty by falling fowl of the blackberry bushes.

However, a rethink and a little persistence paid off.

Very nice camo!!

Tks ... Smithy's Rule ... GazMag
