I have found this cache previously and went in search for it in view of the last four log entries. I can confirm the cache is indeed missing in action. The CO was last online on 1st January this year and hasn't responded to the Needs Maintenance log in February. I think it's time for this cache to be laid to rest.
Searched for this cache today but no luck. Checked with a previous finder and unless there has been a lot of cache creep it does not appear to be here any more.
2 other dnf support this possibility.
Can the CO please check!
Thanks.

Attempted to find at twilight but found it difficult in the light. Concluding it is no longer there from previous logs regarding maintenance. Plan to look again within the next few days.
Found after 30 minutes and lots of digging with the hands, some in the wrong place.Our first cache!
Found at 7.25pm
Finally turning this one into a find. 2nd attempt here and found not where i expected it to be. Great cache though the lid is starting to rust may need to be replaced soon.

Found late afternoon in the company of the geo-son and in the second place that we searched. The lid is a bit loose and may not that water=proof if there is a lot of rain. Many thanks Geosamurai111.
On the way to a weekend of Remote Area First Aid training I needed to find some caches to keep my streak going.
Ok we found it... It looks a bit minty and could be confused for rubbish but we found it!
GPS took me straight to the right place and I found the cache within easy reach very quickly. TFTC, Biggles.
Found this one on my morning walk. No room for trinkets of any great size so I just left a piece of sea-shell from Newport Beach. Thanks Geosamurai111 for a pleasant diversion!
Winter morning sun.
At the going down of it,
I will remember.

Just joined up to geocache half an hour ago and we found our first one! Harder than we thought, and we were just about to give up but persistence paid off! Next!
Found it under the leaf litter. Rain downpours prevented signing the log book. TFTC
With a little digging around we found it. Thanks for the cache. Lest we forget.
Took my muggle mum up to the park near us and after reading previous logs mum soon had cache in hand! Log is running out of available room. Fun little find, tftc!
A nice park. Dispite a 20 minute search, the cache remained elusive to me. TFTH. Greetings from Arizona, USA.
Nice quiet park with GZ a ways away from the sporty types. Found the cache relatively easily after doing the necessary digging. Beautiful day, and it's always good to remember our heroes. TFTC!
After some poking about I found it - well hidden!
I have a feeling how hard this is to find will depend a bit on how it was hidden last time.

Was barking up the wrong tree for a bit. Eventually found it in the dark. Thanks!
Struggled with GZ on this one as the Garmin was jumping around everywhere...so put it away & just started digging in all the likely spots & bazinga!!! T4TC

Nach meiner Wanderung von Berowra nach Mount Kuring-Gai machte ich noch einen Stop in Turramurra und habe diese Dose schnell gefunden. Sehr schönes Versteck.

2nd cache today & 590th. Found the other soldiers memorial cache earlier today. Only 2 hrs to Melbourne Cup. TFTC
Tried to look like I was casually strolling around the trees-a bit difficult in broad daylight, especially when 2 muggles sat down on a nearby bench! Found a single sneaker in a bush and wondered briefly if that could be the cache... But no, remembered some previous logs which gave me a clue. Randomly selected a likely looking spot and gave it one last search as I casually strolled past. CIH! Muggles must have thought I had OCD, from the number of times I stood up and sat down! TFTC #17
Quick grab with geokid 2yr. Quickly told him the story of the men who gave their lives and moved on
5/08/12 4:22 PM. Cache #34. Short drive from Nan's Park...one more for the day. Once found, the cache is in one of the geokid's hands...sprinting off to the oval to sign it before the rest of us. Once we got it back, SL and returned to the right spot. TFTC!
A nice quick find. Used to bring my sons to the field across the road to play cricket. SL TFTC
Found the cache and took the appropriate time to remember those that have sacrificed for us. Thank you for showing me another memorial I never knew existed.
The gps narrowed down two likely hiding places. Mrs C took one & Me C took the other. Mrs C's turned up a possum that had made a nest in the fallen leaves and twigs which she left alone after taking a picture of its bum. Mr C located the cache in his spot. TFTC.
would have been easier if the gps still had a bit of batery in it. sending us too each tree within about 30metres of course the last tree that i checked within the radius was the one holding the cache. TFTC!
The clue had us stumped. Then we realised there was probably a spelling mistake in it. Didn't need really. There was only a couple of likely spots within a radius of where the GPS was pointing. Expected log to be damp after all this rain but all was good. After signing log we sat and watched a bloke with a metal detector combing the nearby playground for treasure. Hope he didn't get too close to GZ.
Second try on this one, can not understand how we could miss it the last time.
After failing to find the wahroonga memorial one, this was a good morale booster. Thanks to previous logs it was a fairly easy find. TFTC!
DNF. Dont know where it could have been because we didn't know what brack was Found with Fuzzball.
Didn't find it what does it mean by brack anyway? hope that others aren't having this much trouble.
90nine and I had success at Nan's Park and had time for one more. The GPS put us between two targets. We started at one and realised it was home to a frightened possum that should have been asleep (aren't they nocturnal). We left it in peace and moved to the other spot. We weren't sure what to pull but found the cache after a couple of circuits. SL and replaced damaged bag. Thanks.
This was our cache number 2 for today. Quick and easy find, though we had to wait for a while as two muggles occupied a nearby bench.

After barking up the wrong tree after some gps issues it was eventually a quick find in the right locale. Tftc
Quick and easy find. TFTC!

The hardest part was squiring the plastic bag out I'd have to say. A great place for a walk though

I needed a cache find for the 11/11/11 in the hope a souvenir might be awarded for this special date. This was a very fitting cache to find today, Rememberance Day. Unfortunately, I couldn't be here at 11am but did spend some time reflecting on, and giving thanks, to those that made the supreme sacrifice in the defence of our nation. Last year I visited the Somme Battlefields in northern France. It was a very moving experience seeing where our countrymen fought and died. Visiting the many war cemeteries and seeing row upon row of white headstones marking their graves was overwhelming. In many cases, the headstones did not have a name on them. The inscription simply read "AN AUSTRALIAN SOLDIER OF THE GREAT WAR - KNOWN UNTO GOD"
Often we pass by these quiet little memorials and don't give them a second thought. Today was not one of those days!

Having just found Tubby's Turf we drove to this close but unfound cache. We misinterpreted the hint at first but let the galaxy settle down. The cache was found very well hidden.

Arriving at this park, we had trouble getting a fix on GZ for some reason. Waited a few minutes for the GPS to calm down and soon had the cache in had.

Very excited to find this as could not find the one at Wahroonga yesterday.Driven past here many times and did not realise it was a war memorial. Thanks for taking me here.
Wow, 4 mint tins in a row - the geocachers of the area must have good breath. Quite exposed, so a quick find. TFTC
