Fore!’s geocaching secretary reporting for duty: looks like they’ve done a big clean up inside and I can confirm the cache is missing…will discuss next steps with Fore!
With 265 finds, and 10 favourite points, and after 11 years, it’s time to put this one away.
My huuuuuge thanks and appreciation for allrounder, who has diligently maintained so many of my caches for so long.
Happy caching, everyone!

Hi Fore!,
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.

Fore!’s geocaching secretary reporting for duty: I see there’s been several DNFs by new cachers…I will check this one in the next week or so…
We thought it was inside the shed but then it was locked so we just wandered along the outside of it, checked little holes in the ground but no luck 
((
((This space has a lot of potential for growth! I found a wireless PS4 connector near the parking that I left on the window sill at the community centre, too! TFTC!
Poor Veg garden all died... fess mess everywhere... Hopefully they might clean up soon... cache hide safe,,, tks
Another weekend in Canberra and again the weather gods are not cooperating. A very drizzly Saturday morning. Grabbed a few caches before Parkrun and then soon on to the walk in Mulligan's flat.

Great hiding spot. I thought I would have to go inside, thanks the the clue it got me thinking and after a good search there it was.
Tftc a quick wander around and we found it just like this pic!!!! Have fixed it up and put back in a hidden place where hint says. Plastic bag inside stuffed… it wasn’t in bag but i have put it in as best as possible
Still needed a cache for the day, so thought I would drive up here and avenge a previous DNF.
Quick find at night with no muggles around.
TFTC and bringing my attention to this hidden bit if history.

All it takes is another set of eyes, brought sophiescout along to help find this one today and she walked straight up to it. TFTC
Expected a difficult find after Jemalong&family reported this one as a dnf however managed to stumble across it with in moments of arriving. TFTC
!PROJECT GO NORTH INITIATED!
Today I really felt like like doing some caching for my daily and really felt like doing more than one. So decided to work a bit further north than I usually do. I wanted to catch the light rail up to Gungahlin. However I didn't realize that they were doing construction on one of the stops! So I just ended up at EPIC instead, however, I had a bike on me and managed to do some of Franklin, Harrison, Throsby and a bit of Mitchell! Biked for about 3 hours and surprisingly my legs didn't turn into jelly. Nothing particular happened on the journey.
Very cool spot here and spent some time puzzling over where the cache was. First corner relieved nothing and something smelled very bad. Don't go inside, the cache isn't there. Then rechecked the map and quickly made the find. TFTC Fore!

Fore!'s geocaching secretary reporting for duty: you do not need to go inside the building to access the cache...

A quick an s easy find today. Signed the cache logbook dsd. Thanks for the cache and the adventure.
Found on a cold, windy and freezing day that included snow. Great to pick this one up as the fabulous old site. TFTC Fore!

Could not.find this. Hint suggests there is a tree but there is no sign of this tree.
Ok, after logging and a DNF I re read the activity log for further clues. The coordinates are definitely off. Found very easily when I ignored the coordinates and just went off the hints. No pen in cache and I forgot to bring one.
I poked around for a little while in all directions with no luck. Oh well, means I can always try again.
Couldn't find the cache today, even with the hint and previous comments. I did find a possum sitting in one of the trees though.
Hidden in plain sight, seen quite easily just walking around, if you’re looking. Was thrown off a bit by both the coordinations and the hint.
Took us a bit of circling to find, coordinates are a bit off but it’s definitely on one of the corners of the building
Tftc. Great spot. Worked it out eventually. Definitely need to walk around. Gps is not accurate
The cache is in a great location and in top form. Just wired that the coords are so off.
Thank you Fore! for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

A quick look but nothing was jumping out and there were too many eyes about so I decided to leave it for another day.
Clever little hiding place!! GPS coordinates were off but the hint points you in the right direction! TFTC
Found it on a stroll with friends playing ingress. No pen so couldn't sign the log. Nice little community garden. TFTC.
Interesting little piece of Canberra history. However, as much as I like the fact the homestead has been preserved, that preservation is less impressive when it's surrounded by a housing estate. Surely part of the value of a heritage site is the context in which it is placed.
Thanks for the cache Fore!

Took a bit longer to find than expected, but a clever hide!
