If cache still in place...its overgrown by grass, gorse and other prickly stuff:-(
Felt like a wild goose chase or gorse chase, looked at all the suggested cords nothing! But wet gorse bushes and dense grass. Owner needs to look at it again

Unable to track this one down today, would the owner please update the co-ords as others have suggested, unable to read older logs than the 5 on my Garmins PQ.
DNF, though Portokeil and I made a long and very meticulous search in a large area...
Used the hints but could not find it. Found the fence easy enough and tried a search in that area before expanding the search, but still to no avail.
First DNF of the day. Looks like either: a) a woodchuck has been through that area, b) most of the hides have been washed out due to the recent storm, or c) both have occurred. Perhaps another day.

I was looking in completely the wrong place but luckily the other half of raz and laz was on the ball tftc. Enjoyed this new addition to the walk from when we did it last year
I enjoyed the short walk along this part of the walkway. Nice quick find once I thought about the hint. TFTC #2671
Tried all the co-ord suggestions but could not find. Checked many places but abandonned when search area grew too large.
Lovely walk to wattle hill. Cache coordinates are a bit off, so it took some time to find irt
Needed a while to locate. Reread the hints more carefully and became less obsessed with a hide being directly at the base of a tree. Quite easy in the end. Hooray!
After yesterday's adventures, sore muscles could only manage a slow waddle to Wattle Hill. It is great to see more of the tracks being improved & completed! I was filling my socks with gorse & thought it a bit tricky to find, until finally remembering to check the hints- duh! My GPS was pointing me the wrong way,(11m off) so I took an averaged waypoint. s35 16.303 e174 08.295 TFTC 
And a silver medal for Australia on this one 
I found the original coordinates took my to one side of the track, the other ones to the other side. Just for reference my eTrex was reading S35 16.298 E174 08.297. Anyway once I realised under the wattle didn't necessarily mean at the base of the wattle it was a fairly quick find. Thanks LewisDB.

THANKS LEWIS. FTF. Coordinates were about 10 metres off for me, but the clues enabled me to find it.......the second time! (Well hidden)
My coordinates were S 35 16.302; E 174 8.295
See what others think before you change them, if you have to.
