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 30 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 month or so to keep everyone up to date.

this one has swam away with the fishes....

Searched everywhere, no find. Needs to be checked.

This cache is getting annoying because it is the closest cache and due to be found on my list. If the CO doesn't care then archive.

It has Gone. CO should really check because it is frustrating looking for a low difficulty and terrain cache.
Thanks

Came Down from pymble with my dad. He was at work and I set off for a day out geocaching in the inner west.
Our second did not find here it really needs so be disabled searched for nearly 2 hrs and nothing.
So annoying

It needs maintenance urgently

This cache must have swam off with the fishes. The map indicates that it's in the rock/stone wall where it goes on an angle, when you jump down there is a sewerage pipe with a medium hole and when I looked inside it was empty. I even reached inside hit my hand on Ricks a couple of times and retrieved Nothing!

Thought this would be a quick lunchtime find.
Will have to come back another time...

Nice spot TFTC

Found after a short search. Tftc

Easy find at our usual NYE fireworks viewing point. Neglected to bring a pen, but did have a Geodog who was, as usual, no help at all...

Came down here on owr way to Rozelle for some sushi before we returned home. Couple of muggles about, but the geomum spotted the cache from a different angle. A little geocaching skill was used to retrieve the cache from its hole a d the log was signed. Tftc!

My wife and I made our way to GZ from the street. As my wife sat to enjoy the sunshine and the view, I made a quick dash about for a search and made the find very quickly. Lovely Spot.

Out for a spot of Fathers Day caching, and I had two junior Crew in tow. This one proved a lot trickier than I expected - primarily due to delegating this spot to search to one of the kids!

Eventually, in between passing muggles, I found myself at an angle whereby it was quite apparent! Quick SL&R thereafter.

Top spot this, on a sunny Sunday afternoon, cockatoospectacle...TFTC!

First Aussie cache

I found myself nearby with suddenly nowhere else to be, so what else is there to do? Caches like this demonstrate how little my caching skills have developed after all this time, because even with very few muggles it took me over an hour to find it and only after reading the earlier logs. Then again, isn't the find all about making us feel like we've accomplished something?

TFTC cockatoospectacle.

What a great spot! I thought all the land on the water's edge around here was private property, but not so. Great off leash dog area - I'll be back with the pooch.

Thanks

Quick easy find. Great views. Took TB. Tftc.

Nice views and a fast find! Thanks

Found it with Zal on our way to replace one of his muggled caches. Lovely spot with the view of the sea, boats and the setting sun..no wonder muggles keep coming during our visit.

TFTC!

Lovely spot... in fact, a few years back I contemplated putting a cache exactly here but wanted to hide a larger one so had to find another place not too far away

Zhaomin and I were actually out to replace said cache which was recently muggled for the first time in 3 years and claimed this one on the way too. Great views on a nice evening. Tried to spot the GCA Trig on the island but could not.

Cheers!

Rated: for Overall Experience

A nice easy find. TFTC.

The kids and I had a great time finding our first geocache last night - and only meters from home! Not too difficult for first timers - thank you

We came to this general area for bikerbuddy to look for Periodically Problematic. Unfortunately that one was gone, but we noticed this one nearby to make up for it.

Lovely little spot, with a great view. Thanks .

We pulled up at this spot just as the muggles were leaving. Nice views over teh water and out to the island with interesting history on the plaque. The GPSr did not want to play ball and initally had us in the bushes and then on the other side. We began a search of the usually type areas and read some logs of people getting down on the sand. This gave us a better view of where to search and we soon came up with the small cache container. We completed the signing duties and replaced. TFTC

This was a really pretty spot. There was one of two places I thought we could look. Toriaz found it while I checked option B. Thanks

Last cache before sevabo and I headed home, we looked around for a while and when sevabo saw something I said nah but we came back and ohhh yes sevabo was right then we retrieved it and logged it then put it back. TFTH SL

Whoa! clever hide!! found it with skyejam... thanks for bringing us here...

TFTC!

I had to drop something off to a customer just around the corner from this spot, so after that I headed down to this park to have a look. A quick read of the previous logs, and spotted it after a short search. Certainly great views from here, thanks cockatoospectacle.

#1100
Came for a drive at lunch today wanting to find my 1100th cache. I parked close by and walked down to GZ. Then the fun started. I went down on the sand like past logs mention, but could not locate this cache. I checked and rechecked spots and then had a thought. Sure enough the cache wound up in my hands, 6m out by my GPSr. I SL, took the TB and replaced. The sun was out and it was a great day. Thanx cockatoospectacle, TFTC.

Ashton's first find!!! Lots of fun rummaging around but got there in the end.

This took a lot longer than expected and I was about to rummage through the boats when I decided to get down onto the beach to have a look down there. The change in perspective was wonderful. love the cache container. I have been waiting for the one in the house to be emptied to use that as one too. Had to do a bit of Houdini to squeeze the log book back in though. We only just walked down here and didn't realise there was a cache until I fired up the phone. Lucky I checked.

Found this one late at night.
Dropped in Barista Key TB, just fit.

Great spot for a cache. We had our sandwiches for lunch, than a cup a tea whilst we enjoyed the lovely view. Cache was a quick find and there was no muggles around, to avoid on a week day.

Found by Mary & David at 1741. What a superb view on this late, sunny afternoon. Certainly know you're not in Melbourne with these surroundings. Our thanks to cockatoospectacle.

A great place to stop at lunchtime. Lots of dogs poo around have to be careful where you step or kneel as the case may be.TFTC

A quick find at a beautiful location.

Pleasant little outcrop with a great view to the harbour bridge. Must be packed for new year. Was distracted initially by the likely hiding spots but should have trusted GPS. Jnr found it as I was clambering over upturned boats.

TFTC. Took a bit but found it in the end.

and enjoyed the view to the Harbour Bridge. Nice place for a cache. TFTC

Nice little park - was wondering where a small cache could be? TFTC

Another possible FTF that alluded us, this time, just 5 minutes down the road from Abel E's place! Great hide with amazing views. TFTC

Thanks for feedback. You will need own pen. Rechecked Gps, accurate to within a couple of meters.

I almost deposited a cache in the park nearby, except that no really good hide-away spots presented themselves. It's a great little secret harbour-side location. Getting there by bicycle was fun.

#15 of 16 found while caching on Australia Day.

Nice quick grab while caching in the area. It's becoming really obvious where the cache is hidden now, even though we're the fourth person to find it. Put a bit of extra foliage on top so it blended in more. TFTC

STF ! Lovely spot, clever hide.
TFTC

*FTF* - oh yeah!
Having managed a FTF over the river at I'm not Lost, I'm Geocaching, I figured that I may as well give this a try, however as I had loaded it into the GPSr about 2 hours earlier, I expected it to already be found.
The indicated GZ was nicely accurate, although it had me trying on the wall/sand area, which did not fit the description, and of course was the wrong spot. I tried the obvious, and then in desperation I sat down and tried a spot that was obvously not right - and of course there it was.
Thanks for a reason to come and learn about an island in the harbour I had never heard of, and even more for a second FTF for the day!
