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.
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.

Nobody has found this for over 3 months. Due to the new construction, which is not very new anymore, it has probably been dug up and destroyed. This cache is lost and the Cache Owner must check the location incase it needs to be archived and save a lot of people the trip of trying to find it.
Did not attempt due to the last log stating moved by construction. Ca the CO make a cache check to confirm the status. Also no finds in 3 months.
Maybe DNF due to the new pathway being built. Oh well got to put my toes in the water.
Found it with Christine Bradley's team! Took us a while, swear we looked straight at it and didn't see it -.-
The people you meet at 1am geocaching! #10 for our night raid and number 80 all up!

This was a hard one, but in the end we looked a bit closer and we found it! Be patient!
The roadwork is quite irritating, but after looking twice I had it in my fingers! TFTC
There's a lot of roadwork/ pathwork going on here. We couldn't find the cache. Wondering if it's still there, or whether we were looking in the wrong place.
Found this with sm236 on a trip to Newcastle.
TNSL left a fluro hair tye - may come in handy for those windy days! Tftc

Found while council was doing a whole lot of work. I had to go under their do not cross tape to get it
The Webster's found it after a little looking. Little fingers can help getting it out. A helpful hint might be a small but attractive container.
This one has alluded us for a while as always to many muggles around. Finally found it today.
Did a temporary fix but could use a little more attention. Please refer to my found log. 
Walked from Empire Park along with 100 other muggles. Really surprised to see so many people on a week day! Co-ords were spot on to find a magnet and a rusted lid in a likely spot. Had a similar container in the car so did some temporary maintenance and added a piece of paper so we could continue the fun. Could use some black tape wrapped around it to camouflage it better, a small pencil and a very small ziplock bag to keep log dry. Thanks next seeker! SL Nothing to take except the fabulous view! TFTC
No luck here today, later on codie.austin told me that all he found there was a piece of a magnet...
Despite the dnf, this place has to have one of the best coast views bar none!!

Found what I believe to be the magnet that held it on but with no cache attached... 
A tour with the Family was cut short by the Mozzies 
but I took a car home by myself to do some caching on the way.
A continous streem of Muggels on the footpath, didn't allow for a more detailed search of the fence there, Inspecting the bench and visually checking some spots I had to give up.

Couldn't find it anywhere not sure if it's been muggled or we are just not looking hard enough :/
On our way to visit some friends who live nearby. gave it a little more than our customary 10 minutes, but no luck. Lovely views though. Our thanks anyway to Mayfind.
What a site we saw.. when w arrived to GC we saw many hang gliders and parasailing.. dare devils doing 360 in the air right in front of us.. had to stop and watch also surfest.. all round a great afternoon... oh and we found the geocache

A quick find once we ignored the GPS and looked where we would have hidden the cache.

We had a nice trip around Newcastle by bike. The weather was great. We found 30 caches. At the beginning we were attacked by thousands of mosqueitos, but we survived and enjoyed a lovely beach day. Thank you for all caches. Greetings from the Czech Republic.
Jfindit and I decided to do some caching and more fun.. Lovely bit hot weather.. hide well.. thank
ALL7 and I decided not to waste the last opportunity to find some caches on the last day of 2013. Headed North up the dreaded thin black line past the ravages and devastation of the bushfires to Newcastle. Amazing how quickly the Australian bush regenerates itself. Found on my second attempt sneaky little sucker. Great cache. TFTC
Heaps of after-work walkers along the path made this a tricky grab even though a glimpse of the cache was spotted on approach. As I went to return it, noticed a second identical container (both micros, not small) in the same place, just in worse condition (rusted, soggy log). Signed both just to be sure, though maybe one should be removed on the next maintenance run to avoid confusion.
nice quick easy find.
however the cache container is damaged and has no lid. I think it will require a replacement container

Finally conquered this one, and once I found it, i couldn't believe where it actually was. I've been looking in the wrong place.
Cccritter7 and I finally managed to leave on time today, for our third big GeoCaching ride of the holidays. We set off from Cccritter7's house, heading out to Mayfield to pick up a few. We then headed to Islington, riding through there to pick up a few mysteries in the centre of town. After, we headed off to catch a ferry, which we missed. Luckily, this meant we had enough time to repair Cccritter7's flat. We caught the next ferry over, grabbing a cache, seeing a massive brown snake, then racing back to try and get the ferry. We missed it, giving us time for lunch, and for my front wheel to go down. Cccritter7 also had some mechanical issues, so we stopped in at CNF for a pit stop. Once finished, back on the road caching. Up through Newcastle to Merewether along to Charlestown. We stopped for a break, then were off towards the bypass, picking up caches along the way. We then headed up through Garden Suburbs, then back home, tired yet joyful from an exhausting and hilly day of riding and caching.

Must have walked past this one a hundred times over the years. Easy find. Great view.
