No response from CO, perhaps time to put this cache to rest?

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.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Think this cache has been muggled.

CO please check on this cache. There is a few DNF. May have been muggled.

Could CO kindly check if cache is still there or has been muggled? Many thanks!

Had planned to meet a former colleague for lunch over in Leichhardt and decided to head over there a little early to find a few caches. Wandered over to Pioneer's Memorial Park after lunch to have a quick look for this one, not hopeful after so many previous DNFs. No sign of this cache, I wonder if the CO might be so kind as to check for us? Thanks!

Found this one a while ago came back for a second look. Pretty sure it's been removed.

Stolen?

In the semi-dark we poked around in likely places, without success.

Couldn't find it

It's not here stolen possibility?

Looked for about 10 minutes, couldn't find. One locked electrical box with three phase, one 240v unlocked electrical box. But no cache I could see

I suspect I found the cache, but there's a dead huntsman attached to it. As an arachnophobe who has suffered incredibly bad luck in that department recently I'm going to wait for someone else to deal with it (or at least discredit that location).

*siiiiiiiiiigh*

First try at this GeoCaching, must say a sucessful one.
Great hiding place and a great camo.
My son found it after guessing that the box did not look right and after I'd told him not to touch it thinking that it was part of the structure.
Guess I was wrong.

The thing you learn with cache. Saw some kids dancing in the park. Wonder if they knew they were dancing on someone's grave! LOL

I jumped off the bus to try my luck with this one as it had not been found for a while. Arrived minutes before the end of the school day....phew, just on time. Nicely hidden and always a thrill to find a camo.
The TB has not been logged properly, it should have been 'retrieved' instead of 'discovered' as it is not in the cache anymore.
Great park and interesting structure. Thank you for the history info and for bringing me here.
TFTC

Have taken the geocoin! Will send back to Europe.

Simple but difficult but the electrical box is LOCKED

I like the clever camo. Tftc took photo and left geocoin In lieu of pen. Lots of planes a overhead today. Ty for an interesting cache

Geocache #850.
Found on Thursday, 19th September 2013 at 11:35 PM.
Conditions: clear.
Current streak #50 days.
Today's finds 5 of 6.

After footy training, Goughy2012 and I headed out to tackle a few caches (and we happened to get a little carried away, not getting home until the early hours of the morning… oops!). It was interesting learning about the original purpose of this site, TFTC Bells Angels.

"JordsAU

Found at 11.35pm with JordsAU. After waiting for drunk teens to move on we approached the structure that housed gz. After a few careful. Searches we found the goods. Very clever little hide loved it. Tftc. And this cache marked no.201

Found on a lunch break from Leichhardt council. Kids playing very nearby but I think I was discrete. Fortunately an easy find. Nice park! Apparently Leichhardt has the lowest percentage of open space of any council in NSW, but this is one of the good ones! Thanks.

Thank you for this cache, it was easy

Nice park with an interesting history. Good easy cache too, thank you.

After an early start that also meant an early finish, I ended up 400 metres down the road from this one so decided to grab it before the drive home. Few people in the park despite it being school out time, and walked straight up to the hide and spotted it straight away. Nice easy one, thanks Bells Angels.

Great camouflage! Loved this one!

Well disguised, loved it, TFTC

Happy to find this! Well hidden.

Clever box! TFTC!

Nice cache.. TFTC

Quick find! Introducing my boyfriend to Geocaching. Thank you!

#2073- Garks and I had a small window of opportunity to grab this one before picking up his brother from a sleepover party. After a false start with the car GPS trying to send me up an illegal slip road, we found another way in. An easy find in a lovely park. Day 4 of caching month and lots of trees to be found. Thanks

A quick find with mum, back here to pick up my brother nearby. Thanks

The strangest thing about this cache was the 8yr old kickboxer practising in the middle of the structure while her dad walked her toddler brother around and around. Well, they were occupied elsewhere so we grabbed the cache. Thanks for bringing us here.

A nice find on the first day of a geocaching holiday around the area.

The final cache before heading for home and I got lucky and spotted it straight away.

My geocaching luck was good so far, so I thought I'd try another cache in the area. Drove and parked close by. It was after 2pm and the School kids were out. This was going to be a stealth mission. I walked over and started searching once I got to GZ. Hmm...not here, not there...

Then I tried another spot and with the hint narrowed in on a suspect. One lone School muggle was nearby, but I managed to check and found the cache. SL, took the TB to move on, LN. Great little hidden cache BA. I replaced it making sure I wasn't spotted. TFTC.

An excellent example of master cachemanship nice one Bells, love your work

An electrifying cache that could wake the dead the proper lack of spearmintment- thanks!

25 years ago I worked near Leichhardt and one of the best things was lunch in the old italian cafes, Bar Sport and Bar Italia.

25 years later I revisited Bar Italia and it hasn't changed a bit. We used to call it "Cafe Hairy Hands". You'd order a focaccia and 3 minutes later it would come out this little opening to the kitchen on a plate held by a pair of hands reminiscent of Chewbacca from Star Wars. I have often pondered whether Chewbacca was an Italian name.

So after a delicious focaccia I had time for a cache or two. I had some luck and found this quickly.

Left the China: Unite for Diabetes TB. SL TFTC

Quick found tftc

A beautiful morning in the park with little ones, and a little diversion to spot this one. Despite lots of Muggles, most were focused on the playground and the kids had time to find. TFTC

Parking spot right opposite a sign for Pioneers Memorial Park, 3pm. Oh my meetings at 3pm so this had better be quick. Yes it was! Great camo. TFTC
(not too late for the meeting, no one seemed to care)

Never realised how big or how lovely his park was. Oh my! It's practically a runway too! Clever container.SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

Cache near my new place. Thanks a lot! Dropped Seattle ink GC!!!

Found with my daughter! Her first cache! She placed a lolly

Nice place came for captors germ but thought why not try for a 3 ba daytftc

Found it on 13.3.13. This is a pretty nice number. Clever hide and camo.

Thanks for bringing me here.

14:55 beautiful park...TFTC

Find #1347 - 1 for today. Found on 4/03/13 10:55 AM
Parked close by, no muggles around and a quick find. Thanks. TNSLLN

Neat container, not short of a penny spent knocking this structure up. Great hide, SL TFTC

A nice cache in a nice place. TFTC

Definitely not minty. The mint container was empty.

22/02/13 12:06 PM. Cache #450. Current streak: 166 days. Caught the Light Rail to Lilyfield and from there it wasn't a long walk to this attractive park. Coords are bang-on, making for an easy find, and have seen this type once or twice before. Laughed a little when I saw some minty breath strips in the cache, given the hint. Yes, not an RMS special. No time for Captors Germ nearby; that's for another day. Thanks BAs. }:)

TFTC Belle Angels,
Oh what long memories pioneers have.
I had a couple of hours to spare this morning and moved away from home to complete this cache on day 358 of my personal challenge leaving a few new ones close by for when I need them.
Visited a group of trackables helping me and learning about local caches.

Nice camo, but I have one like this, so it was a quick find,

TFTC.

Nice easy job at night with no muggles about. Definitely not minty and very good camouflage too... SL TNLN TFTC

Doubted I’d find parking on busy Norton St and lucky to find a spot in an adjacent street that actually brought me closer to gz and the right angle to spot the hide on approach. Left traveller with a mission to visit places with ghosts. Too big to leave at a cemetery cache earlier in the day but as there are so many unclaimed graves below my feet, this seemed just as appropriate. Last in a 21 caching day with a 100% success find rate.

Eaisy Find Using Iphone App (Its much more accurate than the garmin GPS) Meatal stick gave it away but otherwise good descise.

Located today at 12:10. Effective use of junction box in cache location environment. Contains note pad, smilie face and coin.

Great little cache. I confused some muggle children but hope it might inspire them

First ever find. Wasn't quite sure what we were looking for but feeling very satisfied for our first one ever! Thanks Bells Angels

An easy find during a morning detour to work in the area. I seemed to be the only person in the general area not either walking a dog or holding a coffee (or both!). Many thanks Bells Angels.

First find for my brother! We didn't get the clue but found it fairly easily TFTC

Fairly easy find but we didn't get the
Hint, perhaps it's an Aussie thing! Our last cache in Australia, flight back to the UK in a few hours

Another interesting camouflage from Bells Angels, cool TFTC! -geppp & family.

a nice easy find. tftc

nice quick find with (+1) TFTC

Instant find by supasmile while I walked behind

As we approached the GZ I figured it out 6 meters away. I looked at the map and it here me. TFTC. THANK GOD it's not minty fresh.

#10 of 12 for today.
Pretty well much found general area of cache by the description.
Whilst little miss geobrat & I were looking around the area, JustR located it.
There were a few muggles around, but, none too close as to see what we were doing.
SL TFTC

Nicely camoed in it's hiding spot. Found with Rat&Brats. TFTC.

A great park and an enjoyable find. Was interested about the history here too. Thanks BA for another great place with a well camoed cache - this is what caching is about. TFTC

Weird ugly structure, is it supposed to be an amphitheatre? Thanks for the cache. Second person to Getty this one today.

+Like

Had to wait out a few muggles walking their dogs before I could get to work. Quick find once I'd started searching, and nicely camouflaged. Interesting history of the place also.

TFTC!

Nice. Beware of spiders though. Gave me a fright.

Oo, a log book and a spider. Very nice. Haha.

I had a window of 30 mins and a phone with geo-app in hand - great opportunity to fish for nearby caches!
Without having anything to sign the log with, left a red sticker and took a photo of the log.
Please, let me know if it's not sufficient to claim the find!
Awesome location and a very clever hide! TFTC!

I really liked this cache, exposed, but hidden. Thanks BA, a fav point from me.

Nice place, TFTC!

Impressive structure. I had no idea it existed TFTC

After a bit of a Geocacheing hiatus, found this one. In town for a morning meeting and thought I need a cache. TFTC.

Quick find on a superb day. Very cool hide. Tftc.

Prior to reading the description, I immedeately attacked the electrical box....Oops!!...Found the cache soon after. TFTC!!

Brontes 9th Birthday Caching Adventure...out with Team Sunderland....what a beautiful park this is but such an unusual structure...we all started searching & Mr TS made the find...T4TC

As I approached the area, there was a group of seven school girls sitting in the sun, talking, checking their emails and texts, and occupying an area I wanted to search. I figured take a couple pictures of the area and look like a tourist. That trick eliminated all curiosity they may have had about me. A quick look of the area indicated a likely hiding place. Lucky me....that was the spot. SL TFTC. Greetings from Arizona, USA.

Tftc.

Easy find with my geo-pup TFTC

First find for us! Thanks

Found without a hitch. Felt good after a DNF at Brenan Street Troll. TFTC

Nice find on a tour around with holyman54! TFTC

Cool park!

Knowing the craftiness of the CO cybermew3 and I walked straight up to this, great cache design
Tftc

Took a while but found it cool trackie.

A crafty camo. On our way to the international geocaching day event so I dropped a coin relevant to another event. TFTC

Found today on a quick lunchtime caching mission with JYGE and fairbz.
As always, it is a great container. Well done. TFTC.

Nice quick find with mrryanmurray an Fairbz. SL-

Nice easy cache. Done in good weather with jyge and mr ryan murray. Tftc
