Logs
As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it 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 sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.
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.

A string of DNFs, no response to a NM over a month ago.
CO has not logged in since 2012 and their last find was this very cache (!) [?] in 2013.
Time to say goodbye to this dangerous spot.

Had not seen the DNF's on this until after I go there. Oh well, get to add another....
Bother, hit the found button by mistake...

Given that the 2 people last here before me were both DNFs and yet the previous logs all say it's an easy find I suspect this one is gone.
I even phoned a friend who'd already found it and she told me exactly what I was looking for and where it should be but I still came up with nothing.

Popped over to Windsor for a Big Breakfast at The Green Edge & now we have to pay for it! Not monetarily but with enough exercise to work it off!
This cache is a great start as we had to scale the opposite hill to make a find. Lol
Nice quick find but watch the traffic!

A few laps around the tree in question and then the cache was in my hand. Alas the cache guardian didn't come out to visit. TFTC
I was at this place in the end of May, shortly before I took my flight back to Germany but at home I completely forgot to log my visit. Had a great last week at a couchsurfer's house and already miss to travel trough Australia!

With Sezzz. It must have been a loooong day at work today, as I looked and missed the cache. Sezzz found it quickly. While we were signing the log the friendly cache guardian came to visit us.
Last one for the night with Selva Girls. Really wanted to do more but don't we always? We parked and looked around. When we saw the tree and we looked at each other and we knew it was the one, even without looking at the description, hint or coordinates. Headed over and started the search, as Selva Girls worked her way around I thought I would look where she's looked just in case. Yep, she missed it, haha. As we were signing it we had a brief visit from the cache guardian, but only enough for one pat
TFTC!

Convinced hubby to stop by for a look while in the area in the evening. The friendly cat greeted us! TFTC
I wanted to get the traditional cache souvenir today so this cache seemed a good idea. There were not so many cars around on a Sunday afternoon so it wasn't too dangerous, but there were still a lot of cars passing. I crossed the road safely and spied the cache immediately. The cache guardian wasn't present. Signed the log and was off. TFTC
On a nice Sunday bike ride, a nice diversion. Hard to spot, and to cross the road. Take your time. TFTC
Attempted this at night after dropping my son for band practice. From the clue I thought it would be fairly easy but in the dark (left torch in car) and with so many tree roots it took a few minutes to locate with cars zooming past every few minutes. After a while my night vision improved and it wasspotted. TFTC
Number 150! The awkward moment when residents of number 75 are in their driveway while you are trying to look. TFTC!
Out to round up a few cache's with Ms Maddy on Easter Monday. This was the first stop and just the first one of the rank, just happened to be in the direction we were heading so stopped to make the find.
I pulled up and Ms Maddy got out to take a look, before we realised it was around the corner, a little move and the find was made and the log signed.

This cache was the first cab off the rank this morning on a not-too-hot Easter Monday outing with OrionJ.
I dived out of the car and grabbed the cache easily
On we rolled with targets to meet today...
TFTC HUNTERZZ2, a neat hide!

TFTC found this about a week or so ago. As I was leaning over to check in a likely area, I spied it below
Unlucky today with a no find but we did meet mr Kuching the cat!! Super friendly and made up for the no find
Almost got sprung by muggles. We had to leave and come back to sign once the coast was clear!
A cache to find on the way home. Ideal time to get it too. Mid afternoon, before schools out and there is no one about. A walk around the GZ and spotted a position which is the only logical place it could be hidden. TFTC
Well well, this evening after a long day at Uni I decided to stop by here to pick up my cache for the day. As soon as I pulled up, I noticed a meowmuggle approaching. She sat with me and followed me around while I searched and this one did take me a lot longer than it probably should have, but only due to the very very friendly cache guardian that wouldn't let me search or leave. I sat for a good 20mins watching the cars go by and petting the guardian.

Only find today at 17:36 to claim the 27/8 souvenir and mark 27/8 off the geocaching calendar.
I've been meaning to find this cache for a while because it was one of my closest to home unfound caches. I thought it appropriate to make this a find during one of the 31 days of geocaching. Today was the day as a colleague wanted to ride home together. After parting ways with him at Kedron Brook Road I continued cycling along days road to find this cache.
This was a quick find after I found my pen.

This was my target for today's souvenir, and arriving at twilight, I found the area deserted. Not a single car drove past on the side road, and the much busier main road was angled such that they'd never have seen me . The shop across the road was empty and the cat absent, so I found it perfectly comfortable to search for the cache. For possibly the first time ever, I managed to start my search of potential hiding places in the right spot, and found the cache very quickly, which was a pleasant surprise. TFTC, HUNTERZZ2. =^.^=
This is the 7th one of this type we have found today I felt a bit exposed, luckily roads were not busy today

Took a bit of time to find the Wingaap approved cache on a jog around the district. That road is sure scary even on a Sunday morning.
Nice hide. Lost my pen during run so I'll come back to log my found. Took a pic instead TFTC!
Came back later and signed the loogbook

My mission for today was to round up all those little green boxes on my map that are one offs just sitting in my feild of smilies. This was one of those. I parked nice and close did a bit of a round and round the pandanus plant and WAHLA! I found the cache. Not sure how I missed this one last time.

My only find of four this arvo.Made a tad easier with the shop across the road now vacant. Easy enough grab and sign. All is well with this cache. tfth HUNTERZZ2
Decided to celebrate my birthday (not telling, it's not about the numbers) with several hours on the urban north caching trails joined by the ever game net88. Quick find, although it took a bit more effort to actually get my hand on it - I always lose some skin in these sorts of places. Had to outwait some walking muggles before a safe return could be made, and then proceeded to almost get run over and killed on the road. Dangerous indeed. Took a bit, but we made it safely and in one piece back to the car for more hunting.
Thanks for placing this cache, HUNTERZZ2. Found in good condition.

No sign of muggles in the nearby dwellings today, but there was a painter across the road, touching up the concrete wall on the corner shop... Luckily, he was head down and facing away from me, so I snared the cache that I spotted on arrival... [^]
I sat on the nearby wall for business and at that point, got a G'day from the painter. I returned the greeting as I carried on signing the log and tucking it all back into the container. With the painter back in action, I chose to do the same thing and dropped the cache back. I nipped back to the car and watched the painter turn around, wondering where I had disappeared to...
I can see why the intersection is a nasty one... Luckily I piccked a quiet time to navigate my way through...
Cheers HUNTERZZ2

Doncha just hate it when you feel sure you can tell exactly where the cache is, but there's someone watching. In this case it was a guy on the verandah of a nearby house. Maybe the CO?
Back some other time.

After my DNF yesterday, I just had to slip back here after the event this evening just after 8.30pm.
All was quiet at GZ.
Yesterday I saw people in their cars ignoring the traffic signs.
I am not surprised that there are accidents on this corner as cross roads should not be on a corner.
I could hear Florence and the Machine playing somewhere.
That beautiful ginger and white cat came out for another smooch.
He knew me this time and this time I found the cache.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks HUNTERZZ2 All good with this cache

I found this cache today while out caching with my sister.
Found at 1445.
I think I met the cache owner but he did not identify himself, if not he was a muggle woops.
Easy find TFTC HUNTERZZ2

Felt a little exposed at this location, however a quick check of the hint ensured I had the cache and was on my way soon. I can see the issue with this corner too!!
Thanks HUNTERZZ2.
Thanks HUNTERZZ2.
Wifes car was smashed on that corner when a council truck turned out of that street.
She didnt want to go with me on this one!

I thought we'd finished caching for the day when we spotted one more on our route. Suspect HUNTERZZ2 was watching us stumbling around on a Sunday afternoon laughing. TNLNSL TFTC
Sure is a dangerous corner!!
A quick easy find and for the 60 seconds it took to retreive, sign and replace, we saw two cars deliberately turn against the arrows.!! aarrgghh!! Crazy!

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 9:30am. It is a dangerous corner but the cache was found quite quickly and the log signed. TFTC
Not much traffic around today and do I could duck across the street safely.
There is no way to telling if you are being watched so you just have to go for the search and hope for the best.
While I was searching the first spot I noticed something a bit suspicious and moved around and blindly put my hand in and came out with a cache.
No call from any of the neighbors so I must have got away unseen.

Like Fangsoki I was lucky enough to spot the coloured container through the foliage so didn't waste any time on this one. Sunday afternoon was a good time to do this, not much traffic and no muggles. This area was in my dad's electorate back in the '60s so I knew the streets and hills. I sat on nearby steps (part of footpath) to sign the log. Love the smell of new mown grass in the afternoon.
I used to live right across the road from here, took geoson and showed him the old digs! Must say I'm glad they changed the road rules on this intersection.
Easily found the cache as we walked up to it.
Thanks Hunterzz

My first find! Thanks for the cache, nearly got busted by the elderly 'muggles' that live near the cache.
Early enough that the only thing we disturbed was the neighbourhood cat.
