This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.


Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache.

If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 30 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

Cannot find it. Look for a little while. Based on previous logs cache needed maintenance. Based on previous log photos there isn’t anything there.

So gross haha took a while to find, I parked up the geo Ike, went to likely gz, spent a while looking and then on return to geobike it was literally right there. Tftc

A little spidery, but a nice spot. I saw a kookaburra! TFTC.

Found quickly, unfortunately it's missing its lid and the logbook is basically full (still signed it in really small writing though). TFTC!

Second find with Aussiewolves while Lab caching around Glebe. Took a few minutes to twig after reading other posts. TFTC

Originally thought it was under but then realised
 
26-Sep-20
Found after getting to the correct elevation. No lid but it has a log and the spiders are using it as a creche.
 
11-Sep-20
After originally going under the bridge, only to then reread the description, we climbed up onto the road to claim a find. Lots of spiders, caterpillars and cobwebs but a lovely day in the relatively muggle-free area. Thanks!

Lid and logbook missing. Full of spiders. Magnet is weak.

Hadn't not been here before. Stopped by whilst completing the Lab.

Looking at my cache map, two things are obvious; CBD is cleared of all caches, but next door Glebe has a large cluster of caches beckoning to be found.
With today being the start of a warm sunny weekend I drive to Glebe and cycle my way through this suburb.

During my 3 hours ride, I covered 14 kilometers, 22 Founds, 2 DNF and 1 labcache. I was surprised by the old charm of this area with its sidewalk cafes, parks, and wonderful old residential houses.

I was afraid to have to search in the tunnel, which today had a continuous stream of muggles. Luckily I read the cache description and I was relieved to note the cache was on street level.

TFTC!

Found it! Took a while - a sneaky hide!
 
09-Aug-20
This cache is in need of some TLC. The lid is missing and the cache is full of spider webs. I cleared some away trying to get to the log. When one spider crawled out I decided not to risk disturbing any others. Took a photo in lieu of signing the log.

Lid is missing and this cache has become home to some 8 legged guardians

A quick find this time - perfect spotting height for the 6 year old! A little spidery on the inside and due for a new log - didn't have any paper to hand unfortunately. Ttfc!

Not too hard

A Black Friday find! I found it easy enough, but only the fake spider was in residence today. The log is almost full and its lid is missing (but the lid's not critical in this location...except to keep real spiders out). TFTC.

I have a 3 month sabbatical mostly traveling around the planet. My goal is to find and log 1000 caches. Australias Perth and Sidney are my second and third stops, this is the first visit to Australia for me since it is far away from Switzerland. Next station will be New Zealand. This is my sabbatical-cache #212, seen it but too scared from the reported spider to log it, hope its okay.

Nice hide

Reading the comments scared the living daylights out of me. TFTC!

Found it straight away in what looked like a very convenient hiding spot.

Thanks, good find. Hint could be something like where the bridge does not meet.

#4364:
Out on a walk in my local area picking up some much neglected (by me) caches.

I'm glad I read this one up beforehand and went to the correct level. This was tricky for a D1, but I did really like the placement of it. For that, I'll leave a favourite point. TFTC.

Nice to turn this from a DNF to a smiley! Smile Didn't take too long to find once we were at the right level (thanks to the description to narrow it down). TFTC

This was a very good cammo. But we are able to find it. TFTC

I shouldn't have complicated my life and thus cache is very well camouflage. Thank you for the cache

15-Jan-19
Cheers to the previous cachers who performed the much needed maintenance on this cache. Did notice that there was a possible GZ closer to original co-ords which may (?) have been its original resting place? Either way , the troll is on good nick and is happily lurking around again. TFTC
 
09-Jan-19
Cache was on ground and has lost its lid. Log was wet and chewed by snails. Replaced log and put in plastic bag. TFTC
 
09-Jan-19
Just lucky to find this one the cache had either fallen or been thrown off the bridge - container minus lid and contents eaten by snails! Needs attention
 
09-Jan-19
Found down on the ground under railing.
Placed back where we thought it belonged and put new log in as other was wet. Lid missing.
