Hi Chippyroo,
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 45 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 listing and post a new note every 45 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Sorry to everyone whose looked for the cache. We’ll replace it as soon as we can.
Went both on the way and on the way back to destination and still couldn’t find
#6993 (1 of 10 today)
I'd been thinking about the target for my 7000th find for a while. An interesting spot certainly, but after a recent day when I'd (finally) increased my D/T grid to 80 I got it in my head that I should also use the milestone to get #81! So what D3½ / T5s are out there?
There were initially two candidates - one requiring a careful climb and crawl, and one requiring a swim, or hopefully wade. Preferred the wade, but it's a 2½ hour drive from home.
And then a third possibility was published not too far from home, requiring a kayak or other small water craft.
After checking the weather and deciding today was the day, I headed north for my 7000th find. Need seven before I get there.
Got my target in a beautiful spot, made my milestone and completed my D/T Grid - that's the definition of a great caching day.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Started here, needing seven finds before the big one.
A short diversion off the main road, and a quick find in the logical spot.
Signed the log and replaced, then away.

TfTc! First cache found in Australia with my cousin who lives local. Here from Ireland!
Not missing, just not possible to find in the dark, even if you were looking straight at it!
Found with littlemissleft and littlemisslonglegs
Nice quick find in the dark
Thanks for the cache

Headed to the Maitland area with fitzy_1965 & SpecimenX for an extra long weekend of caching.
Day 1 saw us caching in the general area after setting up camp.
All caches where found quickly and easily.

18,778. Found with minniek and specimenX during the Canberra Invasion of Maitland region over the long weekend.
After driving up this morning and setting up camp we finally got out caching. This was the first find of the weekend (out of an eventual 376 for me !! - woo hoo) and it was a nice quick find. We just loved driving around the green farmland.
Thanks Chippyroo !!

Last one for the day. The eldest found this one which lifted her spirit! And so ends another long weekend.
Big Sunday effort around maitland. Reading all about dog, but not seen a dog all day. Lovely countryside to drive and great weather. Joint forces wirh J+J.AU for the day and three makes caching a lot easier.

We are in Maitland for the week and drove past his cache everyday. We decided to come out and look for it on our last day here. An easy find for Geodad. TFTC!

Find No: 6706. Attended the HAVOC cache awards today near Balickera Canal and expanded to try a few more in the area, had a most enjoyable day and added 13 smilies, thanks for the cache Chippyroo!!
We started at Largs and went on a massive adventure to find this geocache and ended up finding it it was soo fun!
Out getting the cache when approached by Justin, a local who had seen previous activity around GZ and was curious as to what was going on. He knew about the container but not about geocaching. Explained it all, showed him the app on the phone. Might have a convert. After all that, I didn't know this road existed - thanks for showing me. TFTC
Stopped at this one after spending the day at the Tocal Field Day. Nice quick find. TFTC

Quick park and grab after Tocal field day outing. Limited hide options so pretty obvious

A quick find. It seems the ark has relocated to another spot not far from here. TFTC
Quick park and grab on my way home from work because I didn't want the long weekend to be over!
I love this drive, shame the Ark is gone.

Find #709
Another lap through the Morpeth/Woodville/Seaham region today, after running out of time for searching whilst at the event in the area last week. Another souvenir up for grabs too, so mysteries high on the list! 8 finds and one DNF, a nice 3 hours on the road.....
We shot past here the other week, not spotting anywhere to pull over. Today found a road right to GZ, parked with the GPS showing 3m. A quick find - the log sheet is completely full. Will post a photo, as could not sign. TFTC Chippyroo

First cache for the day on the run from Sydney to Dungog.
After a bit of fiddling around to get from Flat Rd to GZ I found the cache easily. There really wasn't anywhere else it could have been.
It certainly is flat around here, you'd see an ark if there was one. All I could see was turf.

Shame the boat is gone but we found the cache easily. A little bit up the road there is a cool pink and yellow cow and a water buffalo statue though.
