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.

The CO has been given a good chance to do something about this.

Attempted to find this evening in the rain, but sadly no luck.
With the number of DNFs, I suspect this cache has been muggled. Can the cache owner please check?

Hi jimmijames, this cache seems to have been muggled. Could you replace it?

Many apologies the 19 th sep log is not correct we did not find the cache - a rather over ambitious geokid got on and said he found it - he has now got himself banned from the PC you will be relieved to hear

Has been awhile between DNF's, so add me to the list. Am positive on my GZ coords but with no muggles in sight, used torch and came away empty. TFTH

I think I worked out the co-ords ok, but just couldn't find the cache anywhere! Had to give up so I could make it to a First Aid course on time. I will come back later as I enjoyed the puzzle and would reeeaaallllly like to find this one.

Too many people about so had to move on today rather than get down and sniff about. I'll be back next time in town.

Tftc

Had a good look for this one but no cache found. The cache is either very well hidden or, as I suspect, it's gone.

Is it still there ?

midmy7, monkeydoodle_k, her parents, her grandma and I looked at GZ for quite a while before giving up.

We spent a lot of time looking for this with midmy7 and artemidorus1 but couldn't find it.Even my grandma looked for it.

Searched and searched but could not find it. Gave up in the end but will be back

I grew up in Chatswood but it has changed a lot since then - not bad, just different. Ny Dad still lives in Chatswood and, he doesn't know it, but if he walked out onto his balcony and looked down he'd see where this cache is hidden.

Nice little multi - should be more like it. Log is soggy pulp so I left a soggy mark with a soggy felt-tip pen.

Thanks jimmijames73. Found at 2:42 pm.

As nice as the location and cache are, as others have said the log is way too wet to write on. Trying to dry it out in the warm winter sun (what is with this weather)... Anyway Tftc

Yebo my daily walk brought me to this cache as I wondered about the story, if I might new it, yes indeed and yes found the cache in the rain, but how to sign? It's not possible, sorry, absolutely soaked....

An hour to spare in chats wood and 2 gps devices in my hands....hmmm. This wAs the most convenient. I worked out the answer and set out on a lovely sunny eve. GPS signal was good and I got right to the cache. Even though it hasn't rained in ages the log is soaking wet and can't be signed with ease. Ability to store moisture? There could be a technology there to patent! Tftc

Got to the published coordinates expecting to read about a chinese lady... wrong! Found the require info, but with an overflowing bladder, poor GPS reception, and impending rain, I had to postpone finding GZ. After a quick visit to Westfield to find relief, GZ was finally found only to have a muggle couple in vicinity. Luckily for me I manage to locate cache by shear luck! TFTC!

A pleasant puzzle cache that HannahBandana and I did before an Australian Breastfeeding Association meeting.
Thanks for the cache and it needs an new log. This one was saturated, but got dryish in the sun whilst I waited.

Tftc
Not bad for our first try
- Phil and Ivy <3

It was a good find. Convenient sit down straight after.

TFTC.

Nice easy multi, although quite cold.

We were very early for the late movie, so decided to pick up a quick cache before it started.

Found clues without a problem, wrote them down, did calculations, found cache easily. Nearby resident stared, wondering what trouble we were up to.

Thanks for the cache!

Nice easy find this time, when not dark, rushed for time or trying to dodge the random curious passerby! TFTC

Out do some local caches with CJ this afternoon. We had worked out the coords on this one a while ago. First time CJ and I came by in the evening, it was muggle central. So on a quieter Sunday afternoon we made the easy find. The log was soaked, but must be after all the recent rain. The container must be the quintessential geocache container.

Good to see a few multis around the area now. We need a few more and other types of cache types as well like letterbox ones. Thanks Jimmijames. SL TNLN TFTC

Interesting little park. I park in the nearby carpark all the time but never knew this spot existed. Read the story, solved the coordinates fairly quickly but it took me longer than it should have to find the cache. Thanks for bringing me to this park. TFTC.

A nice quick multi while I waited for the missus. At first I over-complicated it and was checking every water sprinkler... On a second look of where I thought it was in the first place it was there! TFTC!

On holiday and had to come this way for a meeting. Had a quick look but no find today.

The Great Scouts Australia Geocaching Competition #86
Nice easy multi and an interesting water feature TFTC

Sadly I didn't find it, probably as I looked in a hurry
And it was pouring with rain. Hoping to revisit in better conditions

Time for one more cache after work and before heading back to my hotel for dinner. Found the fountain and plaque in the dark by torchlight. Discovered the information I needed from the story and calculated the final location. A short walk there and I had a good idea where to look. A quick shine of my torch and the cache was spotted. I've added another piece of dry paper to it but not sure how well it will last. TFTC, Biggles.

TFTC,
After a business appointment we took a chance to find a cache and were lucky enough to get this one near by.
Visited a group of trackables to enjoy this relaxing spot with a lot of history about a town where a friend was born.
Log was not possible to sign but previous visitor had left a piece of paper which we added our signatures to.

Found today while visiting Chatswood, interesting reading to solve the multi. TFTC

Log is so wet you can't write on it and urgently needs replacing.

Interesting legend.
Solved puzzled & found cache. Nice little park.
Log is absolutely saturated. Tore a bit of a card I had in my pocket to sign. TFTC

Great spot well hidden, quite like going to that park

A great cache in a nice, quiet location on the down side, the log was completely saturated and I struggled to write anything at all

Great puzzle. Log is getting a bit wet.

Quick puzzle to solve and kick start the brain this morning. A cute little park to escape the hustle and bustle... not that there is much of either this rainy saturday morning! Had to wait for a muggle to move on before grabbing this one. Log completely saturated but managed to get a bit of a scribble in number 26. Tftc!

A bit wet inside cache

...after a false start when we found a teenager's hidden bong suspended in a nearby tree we eventually found the cache. Last one for the afternoon, so glad we didn't give up :0)

Nice park for a lunch time stroll. TFTC.

Quick find thanks to wilbur6bug!

Nice cache. Took far longer at GZ than it should have. SL TFTC.

On my way to the Test match today and I had to grab an early find on the way. Why a multi though? I'd found all the other caches with a couple of km of my car parking spot. Quick work on the info and off to GZ for a rapid find. I'd read the legend before so I had a few ideas before starting. Signed and replaced.

Thanks!

Squatted down and took some notes, then retired to a nearby bench to do the sums. GPS overshot at first but the settled right at GZ. TFTC

Geoson found this quickly after working out the co-ordinaries. Cute little park

We loved the nice fountain thing at waypoint one and also enjoyed reading the info. Once at GZ, the cache took a while with a very bouncy GpS. Finally we found it in a very obvious spot. TFTC!

Quick find to replace TB.

Early morning hunt for CUIYC #6. Should have read previous logs though - it was not there.

Found my 100th geocache this 2013 Australia Day long weekend, but I'd never logged any of my finds. So I decided now is an opportune time to do so!

This was cache #70. A nice quick multi. TFTC!

Saturday evening is a good, minimum-muggle time for this cache. Enjoyed reading the story, working out the clues and seeing the Tingha woman in the fountain. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

No CUIYC #6

Found!

Easy multi with a nice story that I actually did read (vs. just getting the geocaching information off the plaque). Spotted a game piece for a complex puzzle game and was tempted to get sucked into it, but invariably I never finish for some good reason, so why start. I'll stick with nice little accessible caches like this one. TFTC!

Found with Akkatracker. TFTC

Trying to clear up Willoughby Council's new caches
First issue was finding the park- drove past twice
WP1 was quickly found and solved- have heard the story before
GZ was harder, a look here and there and... a typical jimmijames73 container in an overlooked place.
TFTC
Took: CUIYC #5
Dropped: CUIYC #6

Thanks jimmijames73 for another previously unknown park to me.
Thanks

I drove up to this cache and after a little hiccup getting parking, I was able to find one close by. I walked over and read the cool story. I then collected my clues and walked towards GZ. GPSr was showing 7m out, but after checking the hint, I made the find. Thanx for the story and cache jimmijames73, TFTC.

I have replaced the cache with a new and hopefully more sturdy container. The next to find may even noticed the brand new cache smell. I have put back the original log, pencil and the game card.

I had some business to do in Chatswood and as this multi was very close to where I had to go I thought I’d give it a go. Apart from the odd muggle it turned out to be a fairly trouble-free process in a nice quiet urban park. The magnets are loose and are barely holding the cache in place; a slight knock could dislodge it. SL TFTC

Checked the cache and found that the magnets had come away (thanks bella at waggy and myke.rog for the heads up). I brought along a replacement cache container, but unfortunately it was to small to fit the log and the game piece. I have temporarily removed the cache so that I can do some repairs and will replace ASAP.

Had to get something at the shops and also drop off a travel bug so could not resist a cahe nearby. Interesting story. Did a bit of maths and then plotted the new co-ords for a short walk away. Got to GZ and I think the local skate boarders have been jumping on the seat and coulf not find the cache then look up it see it exposed like some one had found it onthe ground and picked it up. Signed the log and re hid. the magnets are coming away but still hold. TFTC

I left work slightly earlier than usual (hey, hey, it's Friday!) and headed up the NSL, and stopped off at Chatswood. I walked to WP1, where a young couple were sitting on the fountain's pool wall, but they ignored me so I was able to get the necessary details. I then headed across to GZ. It took a while to get CIH, in between all the muggles, but eventually I spotted it (I agree with the previous comment about the bag). TNLNSL TFTC!

Found the WP1 before going to do some shopping in Chatswood. Took a pic of the plaque and resolved the coords in a cafe nearby. Then it was a short search helped by one of my phone's apps. SL and replaced the cache.
Thanks jimmijames73, an interesting little story!

An interesting story next to a water feature behind the Westfield car park led to a straight forward find. The plastic bag containing he cache makes it more conspicuous. Not sure it is necessary. Enjoyed this one in any case. TFTC

Published

16/11/12 3:40 PM. Cache #241. Current streak: 68 days. Whew! I did get an FTF this week after all. email came thru at 2:00 just as I was coming back to work in the city from yum cha. By 3:00 it seemed no-one had nabbed it, and between the fact that this was so close to the station and I'd put in an appearance after lunch, the call to jump on a train to Chatswood was too overwhelming. Found it quickly and stoked to see an empty log this time
Bumped into edf on the way back (g'day again). I'll be back at work just after an hour out all up. Thx jj.

When the email came through I was at Olympic Park trying to find public transport to Ryde. Nothing was coming so I got on a train to lidcombe intending to find a cache there. But at the station a train was departing in 1 minute heading to the north shore. This was too tempting so I jumped on. I then got an email from a friend inviting me to Chatswood for a drink so my destination was sealed. I can even fit in the new cache! As I approached WP1 a familiar face was hesitantly smiling in my direction. It was KRS who had that FTF look on his face. Rather than being disappointed I was pleased that I could get some confirmation of the correct co-ords. Thanks for the assistance KRS and TFTC Jimmy James

Work is less than 2km from GZ, but I had no chance of escape when it came up. But I had no real idea what the FTF competition is like near Chatswood (I know I've got little chance near home). So after work it was time for a quick visit and quick find, to see two names in the logbook before me. Oh well, it was a fun little find before battling the traffic back north on a Friday afternoon. Thanks jimmijames73.
