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 sometime in the near future, 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 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Cache must have been removed. I didn't realised this had been disabled. Was with a cacher who has previously found it and it wasn't there. Should really be archived not disabled if you are not going to replace it
 
07-Nov-14
Just alerting to the attention of reviewers again, cache is not there, sounds like the CO has no intentions of replacing and there has been complaints about it being to close to houses.
 
10-Aug-14
Co-ords need updating to keep people away from the rear of the homes and the cache needs some serious love to fix the manky logbooks.
 
10-Aug-14
This cache has been taken down due neighbourly complaints and an inability to maintain the cache. Sorry guys, but thanks for taking the time out to find it
 
10-Aug-14
A not so easy find, the corrected co-ords sure helped and then it was an instant find.

It appears that the person whose yard come close here, is sick of people wandering around this area, he has setup a wildlife cam to film people. There is NO reason to go more than a mtr or two from the track!

This one is manky to the extreme, it is wet, mouldy and slimy. The replacement log paper is starting to go the same way as the original lob. Needs love ASAP.
 
10-Aug-14
We found this one with Team Webguy (before it was disabled). Yes, this one is wet and soggy, but to prevent anyone going up to where the paranoid local has a motion camera, the coordinates need to be updated to S 33° 50.172 E 151° 11.322 as in Brownie52's log.
Cheers,
The Hancock Clan

A quick lunch walk. Log still wet and new co ords are a lot better. TFTC Smile
 
19-Jul-14
Another interesting walking track in this area. Initially, we were looking on the wrong elevation. We came across a movement-detector-camera locked to a tree near a house which we smiled for. After about 15 minutes of searching, we read Brownie's cache and plugged in the different co-ordinates and found it was about 7-8 metres away and a completely different elevation. These new co-odinates are much more accurate.

We soon had the CIH and as per previous logs it is very wet inside. The log book is saturated. Container will need more waterproofing in its current location. Enjoyable walk and find. TFTC just_chee

the cache needs some care
the coords should be corrected , see my log
thx Smile

Yebo

It should be corrected, right? And a check of the cache would be nice too, it needs some care Smile

Public transport brought me to Wollstonecraft and it's great nature reserve

The cache was full of water when I found it. I emptied it best I could but it will need a new logbook.
 
14-Jun-14
Found it after looking for a while. As others have said it is closer to the path than the coordinates suggest.

While looking for it I found an animal camera trap, I wonder if it took any photos of me.
 
05-Apr-14
Our intrepid leader took pity on us and gave us the location after we all failed to find it. I stepped on it as some point.

Bit difficult, this one

#4 of 6 caches found today on a short trek from Wollstoncraft to Waverton through a very unexpected natural bush oasis close to the city. Found supposed GZ easily enough but no cache. Checked between all spikey bushes and trees in close vicinity but find nothing. Seemed a little suspicious since it was well the track and plane view the nearby houses, i wondered if had been muggled? Checked previous logs and noted the coords might have been a little out, headed over to S33 50.175 E151 11.322 and there made an easy find. SL TFTC! Smile
 
07-Mar-14
Scouted around for a bit but couldn't find it. Read the hint and looked in the obvious places, and still couldn't find it.

Had the feeling someone in the house nearby was watching my every move.

One more DNF & a cache check is probably in order.
 
25-Feb-14
Searched high and low but couldn't find the sucker. Even after reading the hint given and viewed the attached photos. Apparently it was found yesterday but sadly not today.
 
24-Feb-14
Wonderful cache, the log book so wet it is very hard to write on. TftcSmile
 
16-Feb-14
Interesting hide. Interesting place. I am constantly grateful to this geocaching adventure for teaching me about my own city through other peoples eyes.
 
09-Feb-14
only about 2m off the track. my iphone app placed it about 15m from co-ordinates. photo shows my co-ords

Third cache for today. Nice little walking track and a great hide. Thanks.

Found by accident, the container was just sitting on the ground uncovered signed log and noticed that some muggles had found it dried it up and put it back i covered it up a bit better but it might need c.o. to come and have a look to see if it is in the correct spot.

Unfortunately I left my GPS at home and had to rely on my I Phone which was a bit off.
Nice walk TFTC

Saw a couple of empty hiding places that fitted the description and hint but now notice the last log suggests it is quite a way from GZ.
 
30-Sep-13
looked for some time with many options and barking dogs. the cache was spotted from up high and it was exposed in the open. Found the cache in the end with in 3m of the path. Log is a little wet. TFTC!!

Thank you for this cache Smile
 
07-Sep-13
Good swaps great location
 
07-Sep-13
A great cache location. The cache was out in the open but not now. Back to where the hint suggested. A great trail to follow and a good cache location. TFTC Gets a favourite from us because of its location

2nd find of the day!
 
13-Jul-13
looked everywhere - didnt find it. will have to try another day
 
27-Jun-13
On holiday and had to come this way for a meeting. Had a quick look but no find today.
 
20-Jun-13
Found this one on a geocaching day out with Frebob.
 
20-Jun-13
Found quite in the open so covered it up a bit better. TFTC
 
09-Jun-13
The GPS was playing up a bit here & the hint didn't really help but it was still a fairly easy find. Great views around here! TFTC
 
07-Jun-13
During my short visit to Sydney. Accompanied by an old friend who is no longer a muggle. GPSr had me away from fence and only later read that I should have read description more carefully. Nonetheless the fails must be noted.T4TC just_chee!
 
26-May-13
Found while in the area!

19-May-13
Found during an afternoon walk with the geo-daughter from Newlands Park down to Berry Island. Took a lttle while to find but got there in the end. Many thanks
 
18-May-13
Easy find. We more or less stumbled over it. TFTC
 
18-May-13
Had to wait out muggles to overpass and get on hunting. We splitted up following different log commenta and ended up on the same estimated spot Nice water view in the area. Smile
 
12-May-13
212th find for The Great Scouts Australia Geocaching Competition 2013. Second attempt at this one but after reading the more recent logs, we soon hand the CIH. Found with morry9, TFTC just_chee.
 
02-May-13
An easy find just of the main path. I agree with previous logs - there seems to have been some cache creep here and the original hint is now misleading. TFTC!! Smile
 
28-Apr-13
Even after running into another cacher and getting some pointers, I still couldn't find this cache.
I'll have to have a bit more of a think and come back another time.
 
27-Apr-13
Coords are off. Much closer to path than fence.
 
27-Apr-13
Coordinates and description were way off! Approach from lower path, behind a tree.
 
25-Apr-13
Me thinks this has been moved, the coords where off by 15m and it doesnt fit the description at all
 
24-Apr-13
stumbled across it on our way out after a long search and giving up!
I suspect cache has been moved.
 
14-Apr-13
Had a pretty good look around but couldn't find this time Sad

I'm from Minnesota and visiting my sister in law, EstesLynne. A friend of mine has a TB that was last logged in this cache, and we were hoping to find it today. It's not there, but we found another one that has been missing for awhile. TFTC!

Great spot
 
26-Jan-13
I searched for quite a while. The GPS was wandering a bit but not by more than about 5m. I saw what matched the clue and there was a pile of bark and twigs which looked very suspicious. Alas no cache hiding underneath. I concluded that it had been muggled because the location and hint seemed right and it looked very much like a regular sort of hiding place that had been emptied. However, I see that Wakko Akos found it earlier, so I must have given up too easily.
 
Located within 10 Meters of coordinates.
 
15-Jan-13
Walked to the location using the appropriate paths, arrived in the right spot, but muggles were keeping a keen eye from nearby houses.

Could see the correct spot from the trail at the bottom, but was not game to venture up there under such scrutiny.

Might return another time.

I approached from below and wasn't overly keen on leaving the path. Thankfully a quick find once I braved a detour to GZ. Thanks for the cache just chee.
 
10-Dec-12
Drove across after work to do some caches in the nearby area, parked near Berry Island. Didn't realise that I couldn't access GZ along the foreshore, so had to investigate a little to find the well-marked track just a touch further up the road =) Had a great little walk down to GZ. Was about to give up hope due to the large amount of plant/tree cuttings dumped near where my gps had me at 'GZ' but turned around only to see the cache a bit further up the hill - devoid of camo too >_< Used my new stamp in the log (at least I think I did!) and replaced cache in its spot, but covered it up a bit with some smallish branches (cacher-obvious camo). TFTC!

[B]Found on a walk from Waverton Station to Wollstonecraft Station[/B]
Needed to get to the station and this was enroute.
Many places matching the hint so had to widen the radius.

Thanks just_chee for a good cache on a good path.

Not too fond of spiky bushes, since I don't have great spiky-bush-proof clothing. However, this locale was actually pretty benign and the cache came quickly to hand. TFTC!

Up high, potential nearby onlookers
 
27-Oct-12
A romp through a forest is something I didn't expect to be doing when visiting Sydney. Nature seems to be taking back the path in some areas! TFTC.
 
27-Oct-12
After being told we needed to approach a nearby cache by this direction we quickly found we were actually very close to this one so a detour up the hill to the crest soon found the cache with a nice view. Thanks for bringing us up here, a very nice view from a quite short hill.
 
27-Oct-12
First of three found caches today. Quick find along a "hidden" bushtrack!

Last cache for the day, quick find thanks to the hint. SL. TNLN. TFTC.
 
16-Oct-12
16/10/12 8:11 AM. Cache #169. Current streak: 37 days. After finding 2 Wollstonecraft caches on the way in to work yesterday, thought I'd repeat the trick today, and this time wouldn't have to go all the way down to Berry Island (although the start of the track wasn't far off). Found the cache just sitting out in the open (between the 2 items mentioned in the hint). After signing, I covered it over a little, bearing in mind it is currently highlighted as a 'beginner' cache. TFTC.

Dropped off GC
 
13-Oct-12
Picked up TB and GC. Will move them along.
 
03-Oct-12
As I was walking to the cache, I could hear some kids having great fun in a pool. Despite me generally not liking getting wet, after a decent walk on a hot day, it was very tempting to jump their fence and join in Smile
 
02-Oct-12
After doing the nearby Berry Island cache, I zipped along to this one and eventually found it, a little exposed, above the track. I was going to head on to the GCA cache Shellless, but then realised I'd left the coords in my car Sad

Thanks just chee, I hadn't been here before.
 
09-Sep-12
Dropped off TB from Germany. tftc!
 
07-Sep-12
Had been very near before but couldn't get to the cache as one of the nearby landholding muggles was out pruning stuff beyond his fence.
Nobody around this afternoon so soon had CIH and SL. TFTC
 
07-Sep-12
Quick easy find while trying to empty the 10km circle around my house of caches. TFTC
 
02-Sep-12
A sunny Sunday afternoon - nice for a walk. Drew a little attention from the neighbours who came out on their balcony. They must wonder why all those 'bushwalkers' keep coming up behind their house! T the TB tag L a happy orange star SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
 
28-Aug-12
Heading along path to another cache and took a short detour for a quick grab when I realised the terrain wasn’t going to require as much of a scramble as I’d expected.
 
22-Aug-12
I can't believe there are so many lovely hidden bushwalks so close to the CBD ! Amazing. Thanks for bringing us here.

A rainy type of day. I drove down the steep road and parked. Then found and walked back along the track. Got to GZ and started looking around. I noticed I was very close to the house ubove, but no one seemed to be watching me. Not wanting to be here too long, I checked the hint and soon after found the cache. I SL, TNLN and replaced. TFTC
