Griffith Street Troll @ Tempe Tempe, New South Wales, Australia
By rinsemesocks on 02-Sep-11. Waypoint GC33F06

One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Should you like to resurrect the cache please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

From http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache

The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.

If a geocache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance it will not be unarchived.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am 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 or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Another dnf and signs of work changing the place here.

No good - may have been moved during construction

No good for me either.

The council are currently doing work on the bridge and won't let us look for it

The CO might want to disable this cache until end of July due to the GZ being completely blocked off for construction work. Access has been closed both from the north (train station car park) and south (View St) and the area is currently off-limits.

Area flooded work in progress

Tried again with my 6 year old son and couldn't find it.

Would anyone be ok to message me a bit more of a clue as to where it's hidden?

Yip

#2923 - Oh yes, the noisy one! Quick find with eyes on the pathway while steppin' up. Stand underneath while a train goes overhead and get skittled by cyclists! All part of the fun, eh! Many thanks to *rinsemesocks* for establishing and maintain this cycleway cache.

#2832 (6 of 6 today) (Streak day 298)

Decided to head towards Bardwell Park today as there are still a few caches nearby I haven't grabbed.
Managed to avenge a previous DNF and a DNAttempt in the process.
Also managed to run into two cachers - at two different caches, as well as a school friend at another.
Interesting day.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
OK, so having been convinced to go "one more" by **Miz Wacket** I made my way here and then had to wait as a plethora of muggles went by.
One actually lingered when, having eliminated a number of places, I had one interesting one to check. She finally kept going and I looked - making the find.
Took a distance to complete signing duties, then back for the replace.

Saw three trains while searching.
Now for the traffic home.

Thank you very much, Regina-32 for the nice trip to australia.

Thanks for the cache.

A quick and easy find in the 2nd place I looked.

I'm vertically challenged so I was worried maybe I wouldn't be able to get this being as I had come by train for a walk along the Cook's River.
Not a problem, even I could reach it but I did have to wait out 2 sets of dog walking muggles before I could claim my smilie.

No troll on duty today do we made a quick find

Nice quick find TFTC

Because the airline made a mistake, we have to stay one more day in Sydney. So we searched for a few geocaches around our hotel. This was one of the caches we found.
Thanks for the cache and many greetings from Germany.

Another day with Regina32 and bineundyves trying to find some caches. TFTF.

TFTC - Cache Streak #75.
I needed a cache today, near a train station, so I could just jump off and back on after work.
This one did not disappoint. What a great location for a cache. No sleeping for trolls under this bridge.

I had to 'Periscope' my adventures as it was a great location.
Feel free to follow my Geocaching Adventures on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Periscope. "The Aussie Geocacher, Seemyshell"

Quick find with my geoson MaxAdventurer. Love the experience of the trains rumbling across the bridge overhead.

So busy looking for the wrong thing until I realised where it was . Great cache . TFTC Rinsemesocks

Looked all up, down, around etc. But no luck.

2nd time we came.
Got it quickly that time.

Running out of time. Couldn't find it with out quick look before heading home. Will have to save it for later

Trains drains and bicycles.

Found it. Almost gave up but went back to do some more investigating.

Thanks

Found with @parkrunner1967 & @beccamacmac

Nice cache and many spiders. TFTC

Isquba figured out where to look and had the cache in hand quickly.

Unfortunately I drew the short straw with work rosters this year, being rostered on for an early morning shift at the airport today (Boxing day). But I decided to turn it to my advantage by doing a bit of caching on the way home, to extend our "mini" streak, fill yet another calendar gap, and to generally add to our cache "found" tally. This was the 3rd find of the afternoon.

After finding "ABS 1833" I moved on to this one. Parked the geomobile in Griffiths Street and walked down the nice old sandstone steps to GZ. Spent much longer searching for this one than I should have. I had actually checked the correct hide on my first pass, but obviously failed to spot the container, so spent the next half hour or so going over the entire structure in unnecessary, and painful, detail. And nearly had a heart attack when a train suddenly went rumbling past, just above my head. But it was an interesting view from down under there.

I was about to give up but then decided to revisit some of the previously checked spots, but looking a little bit closer this time, and finally had CIH. TNLNSL.

Thanks rinsemesocks for the unexpected adventure, and for the cache.

Find #885

A tricky spot but no problem to reach with my height. Camera came in handy though.

We'll return for revenge. bum bum baaar

Exploring the area a bit more, and this cache was a nice easy find thanks to a good clue. TFTC.

I was in New Zealand for the Mega, but then wound up getting stuck in Sydney overnight when my United flight was canceled. I was staying not too far away and so I decided to do a bit of walking in the morning and to get this cache. It took a bit to spot it, but I was able to safely sign the log without being muggled. Cheers for the cache!

Very disconcerting when trains pass overhead. Tftf

Andrew found it!

Took a little bit of time but we found it. First Geocache we did as a family. Very cool, but there was no troll when we visited.

Luckily I was in a particularly motivated and enthusiastic mood today or else I may have given up on this one early. Out of all the potential spots my geosense seemed to gravitate me towards the right area and I found it after a few minutes. TFTC!

Out on a Saturday morning georide looking to make this #4 for the day. Having done my fair share of climbing already (Even More Monkey Business & Unwins Bridge) I was reluctant to do any more. Got one strange look from passing cyclist! Soon realised I wasn't as height challenged as I needed to be and didn't really need a leg up and so it was CIH. Should have followed the hint first. Log signed and cache back in it's home where the trolls can guard it. BTW those trolls must have a lot of trouble sleeping when the trains pass over the bridge! I must have looked like I was in some trouble as I was asked twice if I needed help. Told them I was taking photos of passing trains! TFTC TNLNSL. #123 for Brewmaker.

While spending 16 months abroad, travelling through all states of Australia and also having a two months break in Thailand I did a lot of geocaching.
After many, many caches accompanied by the strong will not to write any standard logs, I ended up with more than 1000 finds, all waiting for an official log. After intense considerations and carefully weighing my options, you now receive this special limited edition numbered log.

This is my unique non-standard log #47.

Thanks a lot rinsemesocks for taking care of this cache, showing me this place and turning my travels into an adventure!

Greetings from Germany.
Keep on caching!
Theatralis ?

That’s roughly the route I travelled:
Germany – Sydney – Cairns – Cape Tribulation – Armidale – Sydney – Canberra– Melbourne – Tasmania – Melbourne – Boinka – Adelaide – Alice Springs – Darwin – Adelaide – Melbourne – Perth – Rottnest Island – Denmark – Perth – Melbourne – Thailand – Brisbane – Sydney – Adelaide – Boinka – Melbourne – Germany

And finally some statistics:
Days abroad: 30
Days of geocaching: 17
Geocaches abroad: 47
Geocache of the day: 2/2

This wasn't really where I expected it. The clue helped but I still had to think a little bit as it was more hidden than I thought it would be.

I really couldn't find it

After the other Troll @ Wolli Creek, we took another stroll trough the park to this troll. We found it in a clever spot, luckily just after a little search - thanks to the good description.
There were a lot of spider webs around, so - scared as we had been made of the funnelweb spider - very carefully we performed a quick grab and wrote our names to the logbook.
And yes, there were some bikers cycling around, so we took extra care and stealth was applied. Mission accomplished!

Because the next cache turned out to be a DNF, this was our very last cache in Australia! G'day mates!

Thanks so much for the cache.

#1915 - 1:55 PM

Found it, thanks!

For the log story, please read the log of CacheTrainer.

Thanks for the cache!

It took 3 tries

Found today with steelpaw-good one! TTFC!

Log was full and a little damp. Left fresh piece of paper.
Edited to change date to local time.

Took longer than I'd thought as all the metal moved me about

We explored the area and there was one more spot that I really needed to check - yay, got it! Left swag, retrieved TBs.

The wet day lead us astray and it took walking away and coming back again to give us a fresh view.

Found with dingoman007 and ziggiau

Nice to see this cache is still around. Log is nearly full. Tftc

Found at 11:41am.

After a DNF on this cache roughly a year ago, I returned today thinking that this one really shouldn't be too difficult, especially given the many recent finds.

I parked at the end of Griffith Street where I made my way to the stairs and headed down to GZ. There was a fair amount of murky water where the bridge tunnel starts from this end so I avoided it where possible.

Anyhow, this time GZ proved to be about 8m away from where it pointed me last time. I reckon this tends to be a significant factor when cache hunting, it can easily be the different between a simple find and a lengthy search.

This time the GPS was on point and within a matter of a few minutes after parading back and forth briefly, I made the find. Always nice to see trackables in any sort of cache but even better to see them in a small one, so I logged these as discovered as well but TNLN.

Signed log, thanks for the cache rinsemesocks

Aaah yes a nicely hidden troll cache where we left Frogley GC TFTC

On my way to work. Easy stop off. Thanks Left Coin, HCQKDQ.

Should have dropped this with the last log. Thanks.

had to come back a second time to find this one as I was thwarted by many, many weekend muggles the first time around. Today during work/school time I was able to give it a better go and found it quite quickly despite the many possible hiding places that it could have been. Loved the train which rumbled nearby while I was looking, the train that I used to take to school every day of my secondary school life! TFTC

A rainy day without any cyclists, dog walkers or picnicers to worry about. Excited to find our first travel bug! Nice hiding spot. Thanks.

After a basketball match me and a part of the Bremer Rasselbande scootered down to do the Unwidge Bridge cahe but had no luck. Then we decided since we were near this cache, why not do it. It was found quickly. The trains passing by were really scary(well-the sound) We dropped a Trackable.
TFTC!

Quick grab before meeting up with some friends in a nearby park. Tftc!

Finally knocked this one off the list of local caches, TFTC

Found this Cache with my girlfriend on our today's tour through Sydney.

Thanks for this Cache,

Found it with my boyfriend at a short break on our trip.

Grab en route to pick up a relly from the airport. Would like to be back here tomorrow for the Octoberfest at the German club- highly recomennded.
Thanks Socks.

Good hide

Found w missblaze87

Needs you log, great spot 2nd time for RBK86 my new eyes solved the mystery. ..with RBK86

Good location. Very safe from muggles. Took a bit of thinking and two attempts. TFTC

Kdouggie found it!! Yayyy!! Don't have a pen

First one I found myself!

TFTC.

Visited with Felix the spy, Arwen21, muggle_kings, zekromex5 and his geomum. Amy the geodog too. Arwen21 made the find.Thanks!

This one has had me stumped for a few months. So many potential spots! Today with fresh eyes I made the find within 2 minutes. Another DNF bites the dust.

Came with shadowills and D_blaze, was a great cache.TFTC!

Decided this would be the second cache for the day. Very careful walk as the number of cyclists out was insane. Had to carefully time the search, extraction and replacement.... All a breeze for shadowills..... Great hiding spot. TFTC.

Thought I would leave this one until late evening to lower the potential muggle activity. Quick find in the dark. TFTC

Cache #149

I had a reseveration for lunch at the nearby Concordia Club, but my train brought me there half an hour early so I thought I'd do a bit of caching to pass the time. I honed in on the GZ pretty fast (great view of the trains!), although I ended up having to resort to the hint to find the final location of the cache.

One thing I didn't count on was the very high muggle density - there were a lot of cyclists. Despite my best efforts at remaining stealthy, I think I may have raised some suspicions. I checked that the coast was clear before attempting to replace the cache, but in that short space of time a bike came fast around the corner and pulled up just behind me. The rider looked at me very suspiciously and started trying to make small talk. I excused myself and promptly left. Hopefully my carelessness has not compromised a quality geocache.

Was in the area today getting some new tyres and thought I'd grab a few local caches while I waited.
A nice quick find, the the peace was broken by a rumbling train.

Thanks

thought i would think this one in quickly after doing unwins bridge. Nice hide. took a couple of minutes that i got there in the end. pencil is broken, byo pen Tftc

Second go at this one. Found pretty quickly, somehow made easier in the dark. Maybe it was because I couldn't see any elicit material and it wasn't raining! Yay! Trains at night wizzing overhead- cool. Thanks

Spooky at night, but somehow found it easily anyway! Good spot. TFTC!

Second time lucky for this one. I searched for ages last time yet somehow this time it was in the first place I looked! Thanks for hiding this cache, very clever.

Somehow I managed to add a note instead of a find of this one - oops! TFTC

Tricky TFTC

Although this one is well hidden I was lucky enough to find it in the first place I checked. It should be pretty muggle-proof where it is. Thanks for the cache rinsemesocks.

Trains nice and close. Caps off to the cache hide. Well done. Nice one

Second Cache for me in Australia!
After round about 10 minutes i found the caches...nice place
TFTC

Dodged the cyclists and the spiders. Still a newbie, still mentored!TFTC

Had to give up on this one. I stepped up, so much metal! I was by myself and feeling a little uneasy because of the porno mag and rubber gloves, then it started to rain.

Don't know if it's because I'm blind, height challenged or just new to this, but I had no luck with this one. Maybe I'll come back another day.

This is one im positive I found before but my finding got lost. Found again. From the other side this time.

Took a break on my bike ride to sit by the water and have a go at this one. It was really cool being so close to the trains when they pull up! Nice easy cache. Cheers! [:o)]
