This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.


Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache.

If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 45 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

Searched everywhere. Could not find.

Searched 5 metre radius of fork on the path and cannot find.

Looked and looked with six of us and nothing

Couldn't find it but it started raining so we didn't look for very long.

Cute little mushroom house

Nice hidden loved the spot

Needs owner attention to address a string of DNFs

Moved a lot of stuff- no find

Search through bricks and even traveled up the trail some more just in case. Still couldn’t find anything

We dug through bricks and bush but no luck today

Just a safety note, after about an hour walking through the Bush here, I came home with 2 ticks on my neck. Be careful with your pets and yourselves!

Another dnf. . Not sure what’s going on with this cache and hint.

Yay

Easy thanks. Look right ahead

Great little track. TFTC

Snagged a few hours away while on holiday , thought I would work on the MatM . Thanks for the heads up jasper. Cheers

Hardly a limb

Took a bit of searching on all sides, I still don’t know how the hint works TFTC

Out chasing the mystery today
TFTC

Out caching today chasing some clues for the current souvenirs. Thanks for placing the cache raddog2.

Chasing some Murder at the Museum with beckNmonts today in the area. TFTC raddog2 I really enjoyed it!

Took a bit... Although knew whereabouts to look thanks to the fork

Found it it was easy

Found it!! The hint is a bit outdated so look for some bricks and search around there. TFTC

Got it after looking at comments!
Needs new paper for log though.

????

Searched for a little while before reading previous logs that the hint is no longer correct. Quite small container for a bush cache. Mozzies are horrible in here, glad I had some bushman in the car. TFTC

No log that was able to be written on, we wrote on a playing card we had..

This one had me fouled as I was looking for the elusive log as per hint. After reading some more logs I saw that the location or objects at location had chaged and made a quick find under the bricks. Coordinates are actually spot on. All in good order. I was just so happy that there were no mozzies around as they so often would be I am sure. Made for a very enjoyable search.

Thank you raddog2 for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

A nice walk with the crew on our holiday. Out with Pitman Clan, AWTYOW, the junior geo-gangsta, JakeOnly, Dwight Shrute, Gabstar, KoolKid, Pitbull83 and the kid that asks us to write Batman on every log! TFTC

Starting early with our large caching crew, trying to do this trail before it gets too hot. already hot!! TFTC

Mr AWTYOW led the crew to the first find today. Out with a huge caching crew for a nice walk before heading to the beach. TFTC

Caching walk with the crew on our holiday! TFTC

TFTC

Hint abit out of date but soon had CIH with a bit of help from previous logs. Logbook has seen better days. TFTC

Another find after having eluded me two years ago. Found with help of alternate hint in the logs.

Note to owner: log book is unusable and falling apart like an old papyrus

Finding a few caches in the area following an emergency stop here.
I must say this is a beautiful location.

Slowly wondering north after the Parkville Mega. Thank you, raddog2 for placing this cache it certainly added to the enjoyment of our trip. 3990. TFTC TNLN.

The cache needs a bit of attention.

Back in Down Under for the next edition of SuCos Great Australian Roadtrip!
Heading from Sydney to Brisbane in a HippieCamper, what a great fun...
We spent today around Port Stephens, hiking some walks and finding some caches, great day out in the nature.
This trails here are pretty tough, but with some good shoes easy to get through.
Thanks for showing us this nice area. TFTC

Gps had us wondering in circles, but got it eventually - a better hint currently would be beneath the bricks (as the original hint refers to something that is no longer there). TFTC

Having a mini-break in Shoal Bay so out and about grabbing a few local caches while we are here. A nice little walk to this one and quick find once at GZ. Thanks for the hide raddog2.

Found. Log wet and needs replacing

Found it!
Fallen tree has been removed! But look for clues in the bushland and you will see where it was before being taken away.
Log needs replacing - a bit on the moudly side!
TFTC!!

Hunted around trying to make sense of the hint, but with no result.

The hint needs to be changed. However, still a quick find. TFTC

Found with Beary_Unicorns on a sunny Saturday afternoon, tftc, great location

Found with Banj Ward TFTC. Log is wet

Log us wet

Found

Found this after a couple of minutes and there is SO much rubbish too

Found but yes needs serious maintenance. Look for broken pavers!

Found today, this whole series needs maintenance, lots logs are wet and containers broken. Signed log and replaced. Thanks to raddog2.

TFTC,
1 of 6 for today. This one had a wet log.
We are spending a few night's in the area and wanted to complete this series.
While it was a good walk, it seriously requires some maintenance. However speaking to our friends we have learnt that the reserve has been sold to a developer by the State Government and has been surveyed for subdervision.
The interpretative signage was very interesting but the tracks are almost impossibly to find at times and we probably completed it the wrong way around.
Visited trackables.

No luck

spending some time out around nelsons bay for school holidays, and made a few finds around the area, thanks you so much for the caches and the adventure.

Tftc really nice bring aeroguard

I couldnt find any fallen tree at GZ but found it under a broken paver
TFTC

First cache off the rank on an afternoon cache run. Thanks for the cache!

Took a bit of a search but found in the end. TFTC!!! #1191

An easy find today, though the GPS was all over the place so it took a bit longer than it should have. TFTC!

Found

Found!

2/1/2018 First find for Gazza000

Not found today

Could not find this one and saw something scaley :/

This one took a while to uncover as it is no longer hidden as indicated by the hint and my GPSr was not cooperating. However, when I found the cache and had signed the log it was reading 1 metre, so the coordinates are good.

Thanks for the caches raddog2.

No sign of snake which im grateful for. When i found the cache i noticed the container was cracked and not very functional anymore. As i was still quite close to the car i found replaced it but its probably a bit small.
I also added some extra paper but no pen because i forgot. Tftc

Good find.

Found in good condition. Watch out for big red belly black snake.

Great clue

Searched and searched. Couldn't find.

Couldnt find this one!

After spending the last few days walking, hiking and riding thru the bush in search of the elusive geocache, we decided today to stick to caches we could either drive to, or which only involved a short walk. We'll just have to see how long that lasts for!
Not very long at all. The paths in here are very overgrown in parts and we both ended up with scratches all over. At least the orchids were blooming to make the progress a bit more interesting. Some lovely little purple ones and a patch of delicate green ladies slippers.
We found this cache out in the open about 7 metres from where our GPS had GZ, and with a scrap bit of paper instead of a log. This one needs to be looked at please.

After being sent out to salamander bay to fill in for work i found myself with some spare time, So i thought i would try some walking tracks with caches along the way. ended up with 13 finds for the day between soldiers point to salamander bay. a great part of the world, i can see why so many come here every year. Thanks for the enjoyable walk and nice easy caches Raddog2.

Took a bit but we got it

I found it out in the open about 6 m from GZ. The container had obviously been muggled but it was dry with a dry hiding spot beside it. So I hid it in there. Container needs replacing lid no longer seals. TFTC

Hi

Nice spot

??

Found it. Thanks.

Nice easy find to start the day, retrieving the container was the biggest problem but it was soon in hand. TFTC

The name of this cache says it all! TFTC

Today we went caching around Salamander Bay, and we found twelve cache's. It isn't very sandy though!

### ***TFTC*** ###

Find #1376

Continuing our Port Stephens efforts today, we managed 12 caches around Salamander Bay and Corlette, without a DNF (just!). Beautiful sunny autumn weather, but still the mosquitoes were fierce in spots!
We started with the sandy track caches, grabbing the full collection. Quite a nice area to walk through, although the tracks are getting rather overgrown in spots. This series of caches could all do with some (extensive) maintenance.
A quick find after checking a couple of likely GZs first. Container is broken and doesn't seal, and the temporary log is getting full. TFTC raddog2

Nice one to finish the morning in a sunny spot!

TFTC

Quick easy find. TFTC

Cute was empty added some bits n pieces for the next person

Last of the day and as reported earlier, just a scrap of (brown) paper in the cache. Still, in an interesting area; thanks for bringing us here.

yyyeeewww

Found what is described in the hint. There was a damaged empty container nearby with grey paint on it which matches the cache description.
I added a scrap of paper to use as a logbook, replaced the lid as best I could and placed the container according to the hint.
TFTC

I think it is gone. Found empty plastic tub that looks like it was camouflaged

Couldnt find it

Think I've found the container but no log to be seen

Found with BillHill531 while out here buying a used car. We found a nice variety of caches today, mostly nice bush walks or wonderful views. I was mostly trying to clear my fifty kilometer radius from home. I ended up finding nineteen of the twenty one I wanted to find. And only one DNF.
A short walk to the intersection and the coords were right in the middle. Spent too long looking in all the wrong place. Nearly gave up, then found it as we were heading to the next one. In a strange place.
Thanks for the cache!

TOMBI! got me to come up to Soldiers Point, to buy a car but while we were there we had to get some in his 50 km radius to clear up. Found about 17 caches for the day. Took a while to find as we started looking on the wrong side of the track. TFTC

Couldn't find it and it started raining

A quick find with the hint in hand. Also after realizing geokid had been standing on it.
