Hi CDM261,The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, or it may not but in the absence of the cache owner performing maintenance and/or disabling the cache to check it out, 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 4 weeks) 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.

Hunted around but couldnt find it

Looked everywhere couldnt find it

Another miss

Looked everywhere and pondered, but couldn't find it

Unfortunately it's a no from me.

Had a look, stopped and pondered, looked again but didn't find

This would certainly be a nice spot to stop and ponder in the afternoon. We have been through Cooranbong plenty of times on our way up into the mountains but we very rarely stop and haven't ever been in this area. We were surprised that the cache was hidden 11 years ago as for some reason we had it in our heads that this was a new estate.

We had a really lucky find as we just happened to stop our wandering right on top of the hide so we could literally reach out our hands and grab the container. I can assure you that this was through no particular skill set of ours, just luck. Sometimes things need to go your way!

Thanks for the cache!

Magnet seems to have rusted so it’s not quite as strong as it should be. Cache found, signed and replaced TFTC

4 of us looked for ages.
No luck

Easy

TFTC

Found, signed and replaced.

Magnet not working. Placed at base of tree

My first find ever

Another quick find with APCBB

Nice quick find with TeamEdwards

.

Mr13 was able to find it after a few minutes. Arts have taken over and live in it. And we couldn’t sign it.

TFTC - exactly where the gps said!

A nice quick find on a sunny morning walk. Thanks for the cache and for bringing us here

We find this place amazingly mosquito free, and worthy of a ponder. However when we walked around to GZ there was a chap trimming the places above the fence, right next to GZ. There was a power cord going over the fence so I figure this bloke must be living at the house next to GZ. The cache is probably a very easy find and grab, but there was no way I would have been able to get the cache without explaining it (he said hello and turned his trimmer off as we walked past) , and I wasn't sure he'd be so happy about this cache which would attract the odd person to right next to his property. So my wife and I did a nice little walk around the block and I may be back for the cache another time. Nice pond, cheers!

TFTC - Cooranbong Caching today

Took some finding but great hiding spot

Nice and easy

TFTC,
I think a few caches in the area need to be reviewed by the CO's.
This one however was in place and accessible. Great to see that a previous finder had installed a new log.
Didn't have to ponder long before I had CIH. We signed it and returned the container to it's special location.
Visited trackables.

Quick find on arriving at GZ by Wazza9, stamped log and replaced. Thanks to CDM261.

Tftc CDM261, replaced log paper with a new log and ziplock.
Quick find.

TFTC. Second find for the day.

Nice spot with a nice hide. TFTC!

TFTC. Log needs some attention. I didn't have a pencil, so couldn't sign the log.

What a beautiful place to put a cache. TFTC

Great find the boys loved looking for it. What a great place to ponder. Micro size for sure.

Yippee 6 happy boys

It's amazing to find that there was a geocache at the place I spent so much time during my childhood!!

Took my younger siblings with me for their first hunt!

TFTC

Found it

Beware of ants

A nice easy find, though the cache was full of ants. TFTC!

Found it. Ants have made a nest in it. TFTC CDM261.

Good easy find, although it was a very rainy day.

TFTC and bringing me to a nice area. A quick find.

We have travelled up from Sydney’s Northern Beaches, staying for a couple of nights in a park cabin at the Lake Macquarie Big4 Tourist Park in Mannering Park, to continue with our caching adventures on the Western shores of Lake Macquarie. Our previous visit to the area was in March/April 2018 for the OZ GeoMuster 2018 Lake Mac Mega Event, where our family’s chief puzzle solver had managed to solve (unassisted) a good portion of the Mega GeoArt puzzle caches that were on offer. And this new visit will hopefully see us complete most of the missing pieces of that Mega GeoArt, thanks once again to our family’s chief puzzle solver’s (unassisted) puzzle solving efforts. This was the 4th of 22 finds for the day, and 4th of 73 finds for the weekend.

A quick find at the ponds, but more of a Micro size than a Nano, which was a good thing as we don’t like Nanos very much. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC CDM261.

Find #3352

Found nice quite spot

I got lucky here straight away, tftc

We all picked a spot and Pitman Clan just happened to start on top of it resulting in a quick find. TFTC

Nice quick find.

Found with bedlem2

This certainly was a good place to ponder, except that the barking mutts over the fence were in fine voice and we did not want to draw too much attention to our activity. So thankfully it was a quick find with ilook4geo, both names were soon on the log, all was put back where found and we were gone. Many thanks go to CDM261 for placing this cache. Hope, future ponderings are not disturbed by the neighbouring mutts.

Wandered along to ponder this one with goingplaces2 and we came up with the find. Lots of barking from next door. SIgned log and we got out of there fast. TFTC.

Easter Sunday so had to do the Easter Bunny tradition this morning so a late start for us.
Found at 2:15pm with Jezza_theGeoKid - TFTC CDM261

Drove around to the correct side of the body of water to make the walk only a few meters. On approach, No_tomorrow said “it’s going to be there” and sure enough it was. Thanks CDM261.

Great day out with a great group of cachers now known as the MC Team, thanks for the hides. TFTC

Catching up on some logging following our adventures at the 2018 OZ GeoMuster here in Lake Macquarie. Log book has been signed. Thanks for the cache hide.

Find No: 6569. Attending the Oz GeoMuster Mega, thanks for the cache CDM261!!

Find number 3 was a very easy and quick find. Very surprised it was not a nano, although it was a cache container hated just as much by many. Although I have no issues at all with either of them.
Thanks for the fun

After pondering the meaning of life we found the cache. TFTC CDM261.

Lovely spot, after spending time pondinging lifes many questions. Like 'Wonder if we could catch a duck for dinner'. Realised that was not going to happen found the cache with my Geomate AGSeer. OZGM 2018. TFTC

Another nice spot and some friendly locals in the form of three ducks and good finish to the day. TFTC

Good accurate co-ords for a quick park and grab

Found -- 10:55 am -- Thanks for the hunt and Thanks for bringing us here to this location CDM261.

**Cache Condition:** Good.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.
**Trackables:**

**The Cache**
This wasn't too difficult to locate in a beautiful location. I really love the street names ... sawmillers , cedar cutters, splitters etc quite a novel.

**The Day**
OCW *Little Kitten* and *DustyJapserJet*. Camping at *Old Mill* we packed up and left for a day of caching and drove right past numerous caches .... ggaahhhh!! Had to uturn as there was no way I was passing this opportunity up when I was so close. I did not plan for this Mega just threw things in the car and left, so I am bummed that I didn't get to solve and find the GeoArt. Not planning made caching difficult and meant things took longer. Ended up over the east side of the lake caching and then I discovered the Lab Caches, so had to retrace .... ggaahhhh!! Arrived back at the Oz Mega showground at 9pm and dinner was all gone except for one amazing guy who was still open and cooked us some yummy cheese and tomato toasties with hot choc. Hung around for a bit and then started the 3 hour drive south only to sit on the freeway just past Campbelltown in a long line of cars for some 30 minutes before being redirected back the way we had come. We went the back way and were able to rejoin the Hume southbound near Picton but the northbound ramp was now barricaded by police.

`14 = 14 0 0 [8)] not attempted. ---- 1 of 14 being event cache

***Respect peoples caches - money, time and effort that has gone into them.***

Made plans the night before to team up as Trans Trasman Team whih included dghoffy, Natalie247, Granville68a, Dakocats and WhiskersNZ, we signed as TTT. We were hitting some trads before grabbing most of the OZGM puzzle art this morning.

Thanks to all the owners of the caches in the GeoMuster region, I had a fabulous time and thank you for your careful maintenance and placements of the caches. TFTC

Rapidlywild suggested we head up to the Oz Muster event when it was first published, so between us and a few others we set out to solve the puzzles around the area, not that we got to all of the ones we solved, what a shame we will have to return one day to collect them when the mosquitos are not as active.

We had a great time over the weekend, grabbed lots of caches and met some fellow cachers,

Thanks Rapidlywild for another enjoyable geoadventure.

Found as part of the Trans Tasman Team whilst attending the local OzGeoMuster. Thank you to all the cache owners for putting these caches out and for bringing us to some pretty awesome spots. TFTC

Found after spending the day chasing the OZGM trail with Darksidedan. Immediately went to the obvious spot, that wasn't. A lovely area with so many potential hiding places.

TFTC CDM261

Another cache gathered at the end of the day. Many thanks to CDM261 for placing this cache for us and others to find. We appreciate your efforts providing caches and thank you for the smiley. Signed here as the MC Team to save log space. Cheers and happy caching!

Day 2 of the Mega Event! After meeting up with some fellow NZ cachers and making plans plus exloring, we decided on this cooler day to go for some long loops and grab a number of caches.
