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.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache within 7 days, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 7 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Two needs maintenance requested back in October but no response.

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 page and post a 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.

I looked everwer over 2 days can someone please check if its still there?

Can CO please confirm that this is still here, no find in 10 months.

Too hard for us, better luck next time.

Came searching here today, no one round stayed for a long time but still no smiley

Too many muggles watching. We will return!

Only had a quick look as I was running out of time but no find today.
Maybe next time.

Ironbark.

Had quite a look for this one, especially puzzled by the hint. No results though.

To sneaky for us didn't understand the clue. We will be back

Ah-ha! Very happy to tick off another previously DNFd cache from you in this area. Very sneaky. The camo has broken off but still functions when the cache is in place. Also, someone has left a quite nice hat here - possibly an earlier searcher? Anyway, TFTC!

no find today

GPS was more accurate than c:geo


cache still not located. DNF again

Didn't understand the clue.. But noticed something slightly odd and there it was in plain sight! TFTC

Neighbours performing maintenance on front lawn.

That was hard but good tftc

The clue had us stumped but with some diligence and careful looking we had the cache in hand soon enough another sneaky hide for the day!

Found with the lomandra_legends crew. TFTC!!!

And there it was the entire time ..finally found this one tftsc

Bigger! Will be back.....

Gotcha ya sneaky little fiend...understood clue once we made the.find. Not what we expected....great camo! Tftc xo

No find.

Second look for this ..obviously im overlooming it

Second time I've looked with no luck

Finally found this one. One of only two for the day. The others were near playground equipment being used by kids. TFTC.

best sneaky caches we've had. Tftc.

Wow. That's was one of the best sneaky caches we've had. Was a very interesting hide and like others we were about to give up but we perservered and came up with a victory. Tftc.

Foun the tricky little devil. Just when I was close to admitting defeat I spotted something a little off and yeah... Boy I felt a little dumb (in a good way) TFTC and great camo!!! Awesome job!!!!!

Amazing! Love the camo. Found with geo friend postie3060. Log is wet. TFTC!

Freaking awesome, love the thought that went into this cache! Found with Seek and u will find. Log is wet but writable.

Hmmmm where is thy nano?

No luck for me here.

Wow awsome camo. As another log said was just about to give up again when saw it whilst leaning near railing...
Tftc

That was a tricky one! My girl Tam found this one by leaning on the railing after giving up.

A no find for today. I was sure that I found GZ. But alas came up empty handed. Will return.

After all that looking I find it I'm an idiot

Finally! Made me feel dumb! But I got it!

After countless visits and two pafs I can finally cross this one off the list. Don't know how I missed it all those other times! Thanks to the cachers who helped me out. I can confirm the red herring has been muggled, but the cache is still there ever so cleverly disguised!

With Meritonnn and GeoBabies

Awesome camo! I thought 'surely not' but indeed it was! Don't really get the reference to the red fish though?? Found with DewDanni and the geobabies. Thanks for another challenging cache TS!

Lol. Another DNF. I thought I had this cache figured out. I clearly haven't given it the respect it deserves!

Found the fish but not the cache. Man! Where is it?! Spent half an hour here!

nice quick find. in between the rocks were the first places i looked. first nano find.

Just stopped in and checked on this cache after the last log. Cache is still there and in good condition. Maybe search harder next time.

Could Not found anything. May it was washed away by the heavy rain?

Tftc nice camouflage fooled us for a bit due to big feet

Good to knock over this one. Cache camo good, tho not entirely protected when found. Concerned it might easily get accidentally found or otherwise moved. Would love to see this spot after a bit of rain.

Found with mike250 and theromulans.
We'd looked for this one before, but came up empty handed. Afterwards we found out it had been muggled, so we were pretty bummed not to be able to tick this one off. Thankfully Mr. T Soupbones replaced the cache and we got another chance. A bit fishy at first, but soon had CIH. Great to tick this one off finally!
Here's hoping it doesn't get muggled again.

Found this lunchtime run with TheRomulans and Rawlington3rd. We had been here in the past when we just could not find it - but some recent activity from the CO (thank you) and some subsequent successful finds led us back here. The Red Fish was found quickly again, and our search widened from there, again, though it really didn't have to. Some nice camo and quite glad to be able to check this one off. Thanks!

I was looking for a fish statue.

Found by the geowife with help from the sushi! Great hide, coords spot on!

Thank you Team Soupbones!

Out & about with evangt, chrissybunce, John Bunce & monty our geopup. Came back to this one after a DNF a few weeks back. Red herring had been moved since last time. Chrissybunce found it after a while. Very good camo. TFTC.

Little bit hard as clues were a little off down not up

Out on a caching spree with pdbunce, chrissybunce, dad and geohound on an overcast Sunday. This was our second visit to this one. Last visit this cache had been muggles. Saw soupbones had done cache maintenance and went for it. Red herring has been moved from last time and therefore the clue inside is a bit misleading. Found by chrissybunce with a 'longer than it should have been' search. Enjoyed being able to remove this off the DNF lost and replace with smiley.

Have taken this one offline, as it seems the cache has been stolen ( seems to be a few of mine stolen the past two months ) . I retrieved the red herring as well, as it's container is broken and needs replacing. I will build a new cache and enable the hide real soon.

As this is a short walk it did not take long to drum up a new cache container, replace the red herring's container and fix it all up.
This one is back in action.. good luck people. I made this better then the original!

Couldn't get GPS to settle, but searched likely areas with no joy. Couldn't even find the fabled red fish. From the previous logs a cache check might be in order?

Rummaged around like a brush turkey with pdbunce and chrissybunce to no avail. Found the red fish though. Is that worth 1/2 a point? Will be back when someone else finds it.

Out with chrissybunce & evangt. Found the red herring but no luck finding the cache. Spent ages, just too clever for us.

Found the clue easily but didnt make sense will have to try another time.

Many little holes and plenty of spiders...

Savages up and coming

No luck. Bloody Soupbones at it again! Enjoyed the fish though

No luck - but we were in a bit of a rush and I foresee a nice little afternoon next week after daylight savings kicks in where we knock this one off.

#543 The 2nd cache on our trip to Mt Annan Botanic Gardens. This was an interesting cache. I found the red herring first after quite a while going through almost all the Angophora Rocks. And then it was a bit of a challenge trying to read the clue from there. I'm not sure what the other writings meant (or read), but I focused on the legible one talking about something fake. At first, I thought it was cryptic so I walked around that park trying to spot the object in question. Then back to where I found the red herring, I tried touching things to see if I can find that fake thing. I touched the blades of grass, and it gave me cuts to 2 of my fingers. Ouch! That didn't deter me from searching though, and soon find the hidden nano-sized cache. TFTC! C for cache, not cut.

Thought this was going to be a bit harder. Still a great find!

Hehe....loved this one! Found the red herring first (we had never seen this before!) and used the clue in it to narrow down our search. Very cute indeed SL TFTC!!

Found the red herring but not the cache, too good for me.

Out caching with friend who's just getting into geocaching. It was actually her that found the red herring and then eventually the (un)real thing.
SL TFTC

Ok. New log installed. Geokeepers, your name is first on the new log. All good and ready to go....

Off to check out some of my caches now. This is first on the list. Geokeepers, your name will go on the new log book...

Sitting at the GC now, this is a calm little spot despite it being Sunday. Great hint, took about 5 mins all up. Log is damped and ripped. In need of maintenance asap.

Oh, and need to log the find

With GeoJackCo. Interesting spot! TFTC. Log is damp, needs replacing asap.

Lol enjoyed the clue, was quite annoyed when I found the clue thinking it was the cache very nice cache

Loved this one! Enjoyed the clues and camo... Cheers

#943

An amusing cache & luckily a quick find. Just as I was about to start looking, I got a phone call. Sat down to talk, looked next to me & there was something that obviously wasn't quite as it should be.

Log is a bit damp but signable.

Thanks

Very sneaky tftc

Found the Red Fish...lols
Cache in hand soon after.....GREAT camo......
TFTH

Found the herring within seconds, can't believe I didn't find that last time? Then the final GZ took only seconds as wel. Heaps of people still signing the herring?
TFTC Wilbert67

Good quick find for team discovery. TFTC!!

Found by team discovery. TFTC

Out doing a run with Team Sunderland....this one was our favourite for the day....we couldn't work out the hint until Mr T/S found it & then geomum found the cache....it blended in really well....geogirls had a ball playing in the tunnel near by till we saw their shoes covered in mud ....T4TC

Checked on this cache, all good. Log is a bit damp but not bd enough to replace.

The find of the day out of 22.....loved the red herring ,cheers.

Log Very Wet Dam

Great hide

I was very reluctant to come back to this one after it nearly did my head in last time. But armed with the experience of several soupbones caches I walked in, without the GPS, and had the cache in hand within 20sec. I can say its a relief to cross this one off.

Easy find after a few hard ones. Ahhh no it wasnt it. The fish helped us in the end. Got to see some amazing massive snake skins and then we found it :0)

In need of maintenance badly

Badly needs maintenance but found

Good hint; requires maintenance due to recent rains, micro container is no longer waterproof

Will fix this up on Monday ( tomorrow) as long as the rain holds off. New log sheet on the way.
Please do not find this one till repaired.

Soupbones

Good one,thanks soupbones

Ok, fixed up cache today, as container was actually broken. Took it away and fixed it all up, added new double sided log sheet and hopefully made it a bit more water proof. I think with all the rain not much is water proof at the moment.
Went to replace the cache after taking it home and the whole area was muggled with council workers mowing and weeding. So took a 15 min walk and came back and put the cache back in its original home.
So all is well again with this cache. Consider it maintained....

Found the red fish first (clever) which then gave the clue to the nano find. (Needs some maintenance ASAP). Thanks soupbones. Bonige52

There are defiantly lots of blue tongue lizards around GZ. While we were searching for the cache we spotted two of them. As they watched on we spotted the red fish which told us where to find the cache. A very tricky micro. Thanks soupbones for another great hide.

Spent far too long looking for something that really wasn't there. A clever hide indeed. I found these added coords to be helpful today.By the way the log is not full, just turn it over!
Thanks soupbones.

TFTC - nice little hide - Flava found this one whilst i was searching the tunnel for a red fish - No such luck on the fish, but another CACHE to the count!!

Done and dusted. Found this tricky tricky with dastylze. Log is over full.
