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 28 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

7 DNFs since Sept 2019. No response? Any word on this one? Is it time to put it to rest?

Cound not find. Came with Newbie ClaireBear16. Please advise. Thanks anyway

Didn’t find it.

I think I found the right stump. It looks like a cacherstyle stump.

Let us know.

Beautiful park and I enjoyed the hunt.

Is it still here????? Please let me know!! Thank you.

Had a good look over quite a wide area but no joy.

No clue whether the stump at the coords in the intended point, or whether its at a point of greater bushwacking. Even then, no dice. Pretty park here though!

Walking from Coogee to Bondi. No luck in the search for this one.

That is such a good hiding spot

We're in Sydney for a few days, and with the perfect weather, it seemed like heading down to the coast and walking the seaside trail was the only sensible thing to do.

This one did take a few minutes, a bit of bush bashing, a small amount of blood and then it was found - and it's good to visit one which has been lonely for six whole weeks in the middle of Australias biggest and busiest city. The cache is in good order

Thanks SydneySearchers for placing and maintaining this cache.

Lots of searching and bush bashing did not find it.

Bit of bush bashing!

So many stumps to choose from..... but we realized that it was just a jump to the left, and found it TFTC. Took the trackable, might not be able to take it far, but you never know whose journey this trackable will intersect with

Its wet, cold, and windy but that just means that there are fewer muggles out and about.
I have a day off work today and i thought it might be nice to head out this way to pick up a cache or two.
Unfortunately when i reached Bayview St it was pouring down and i had to get my rain gear out to reach the GZ.
It didnt take too long to spot the likely hiding place and thankfully i was right.
I ended up dropping a tb i had been carrying for quite a while and picking up a new one to take with me.
Despite the area being soaked today the container was in good condition and the log is dry.
Thanks.

Like others have said, this was a nice detour off our Bondi to Coogee hike. TFTC

Took a short detour to find this cache when walking from Bondi Beach to Coogee Beach along the clifftop walk. Took 2 trackables. TFTC

A bit of bush bashing and beautiful views on our walk from Bondi.SL. TFTC left 4 TBs

Our first find on the Coogee to Bondi walk. While I had given up, Jomingara braved the bushes and made the find for us. Thanks for the cache.

Our first time walking between Coogee and Bondi despite my living in Sydney over 30 years.

After a nice refreshment at the bogey hole cafe, we walked up the hill to find a stump that looked the goods but disappointed. Not having found a Geo in a while, I kept looking around and made the find.
Thanks for a great cache at such an awesome beach

Thanks SydneySearchers for the cache.
I found stumpy & entered my name.

Found suspicious tree stump but could not find cache this time

Danke für den cache!

Found a tree stump at the geo-location, but no cache. Quite sure it wasn't there anymore, but apparently other GCs have been able to retrieve it on the same date! So I must be wrong and have to come again.

I approached the cache from the wrong direction, so I had to do a bit more bush bashing than required. There were many spiderwebs near the cache, so I almost walked into one! Nice detour from the Bondi to Coogee coastal walk.

  Another Day of Geocaching

Wenn du Zeit hast gehe jeden Tag 1 Stunde in den Wald...wenn du keine Zeit hast, dann 2 Stunden...

Und wenn man das noch mit so einem tollen Hobby verbinden kann...ob alleine‍ oder mit Freunden‍‍‍‍ mit Tochter ‍oder Hund draußen zu sein und zu Cachen macht die erst bunt...

Australien zu Sylvester mein bester, und ich bin dabei...so wie dieser kleine oder große war heute mit dabei...ich freue mich sehr hier im Down under zu sein und sende greetings from Germany

Danke für die Mühe, die Hege und Pflege jedes einzeln Caches und Grüße an den Owner der unser schönes Hobby erst möglich macht.

Möge der Cache immer   mit uns sein ‍

Found possible hides hole but no cache.

Searched and searched found where we thing it shiuld be but nothing there

TFTC

Plenty of dead ends until a decent item was spied relating to the hint, thank you for the placement SydneySearchers

Needed a long walk today and ended up in Bondi for the Sculpture by the sea walk. This cache was only 425 m from where it ended. My first approach was from one level but I changed my mind and found it from another level.

TFTC

On the coastal walk with 38000ft. Tftc

Quick fun find tftc

Between walking and studying this little beauty searched. Nice beach - TFTC

Thanks for this cache.

SydneySearchers I found your cache Stumpy Secret on 26/8/18, 10:43 am. This is my find 2056 and find # 1 today. Realised I walk past this after I expanded my search area. Thanks for the cache! TNSLLN

First one for us! No trinkets so we restocked!

Walking from Bronte to Bondi we managed to find this one.

Thanks for the cache.

Easily found zftc

Found this sneaky cache on a nighttime stroll. once saw a tawny frogmouth around here

Delightful

This one took us quite a while to find. Our GPSes had us all over the wrong places! We eventually made the find after expanding our search in the correct direction. TFTC!

This one took very long as the GPS pointed us to the wrong direction. We expended our search, and uncovered the cache. TFTC

Stunning part of the world. Loved doing this walk with my girls. They were very happy to find the cache and then to play in the park. TFTC

We've done the Bondi-to-Bronte-Walk today and searched this cache.
TFTC
Many greetings from Germany

Nice little walk with newbie sister introducing to the geocache world

TFTF,was greeted by a friendly kookaburra on the path

Just found during a nice walk to Tamarara Beach. TFTC and best regards jös from Switzerland

Searched around the wrong log for a while, then widened the search to make the find. TFTC

Clever hiding spot

No writing implement. Will come back with an Argos pen or stumpy pencil. No toys. Never done a trackable before but only a note pad in box. P, J ,D& R

Tried approaching from the top, not such a great idea in jandals! Backtracked and found it via the track below! Lots of weddings in the park today, so cool! Tftc

Tftc from Canada

First full day in Sydney, with 19 caches found in total. We took a ferry across from the harbour to Watsons bay, then a bus down to Bondi, followed by the usual walk down the coast. One corgi has been hear a couple of times, and the one logging had his first experience of this very picturesque stretch of coast. After rain up in the Blue Mountains and an evening shower yesterday, the weather today was perfect for an outdoors walk. Hello from Singapore, and thanks to all the COs for hiding and maintaining these caches -- pretty much everything was found in good order. Remarks on individual caches are under the line.

Corgis detoured from our coastal walk to stump up the hill for this T3 cache. Box was in the obvious place, and we could sign in with no troubles before sliding off down the hill back to the ocean views. TFTC!

Found it after visiting the near by broth bar and larder.

TFTC.

T.F.T.C. Quick find. First visit to bronte/bondi. Nice walk along the coast. Beautiful day. Few more days and back to the freezing temps of upper peninsula Michigan.USA.

We came to Sydney by cruise ship and stayed for three days.
On the second day Deistermonster and me made the coastal walk from Bondi to Coogee. It was great!
On the way we found this cache quickly. It was guarded by a Kookaburra.
Thanks for the cache and greetings from germany!
Soukousa

Together with Soukousa on our cruise along the west coast, we used this day to do the Bondi-Coogee-walk and look for plastic boxes. The sidestep towards this box was easy to make. The box was found quite easily. TFTC!

During my short stay at Sydney I found any caches.
Thank for this one, without problems.
Many greetings from Czech Republic.

Coords a bit out. Very hot sand here. Tftc. Note, don't attempt this cache bare foot pain awaits

A bunch of new Caches have come along the easter beaches out since I last visited Sydney about 10 Month ago. I was very happy to see that so and managed to take the time for an extended afternoon cache walk from Waverley through to Bondi, lots of breathtaking view and nice caches.


This was like the 3rd time I have attempted it over the last few years and finally found it, somehow I had allways drifted off in the wrong direction with my search at other times. Thanks for the Cache SydneySearchers.

coords are off by 5 meters, showing the littlies how to cache!
tftc

Found but was away from coords and just lying on ground. Needs maintaining

TFTC

Thanks for the cache can’t believe the scenery here. All the way from Vancouver island to find a cache

Was not a beautiful place like the cache on the walk. After a while found it.

Coming to Sydney for a holiday. Easily found once we got to the correct GZ. Picked up a TB that needs to go to NZ, we are going on a cruise there in a few days!!

Quick find The cache is A1. We dropped a TB (for New-Zealand). TFTC Merci pour la cache
Greetings from Montréal Québec Canada

My daughter had a birthday party in Surry Hills, so I decided to take advantage of the opportunity and went for a jog from Bondi to Bronte. Sculptures By the Sea: I was Not Alone! Once at Bronte I headed inland and found my way to GZ where I made a quick find. TNLNSL, TFTC

Nice day out at Bronte

Good cache.With A little bundu bashing I got it pretty easy.And I am leaving behind a TB.

Too many spiders grr

Quick find, TFTC

Coordinates slightly off...maybe 10m? Eventually found the right stump then easy CIH. TFTC

Looked everywhere and been there twice but still haven't found it

Quick check while going for a walk.

Lots of dusty trails and a number of crumbling stumps but no cache today. I must have been looking in the wrong spot.

Thanks for the cache!

Wohhhoooo - found it! TFTC!

Easy once in the right place

Nice to be out of the sun for a while. Gully cool and away from muggles. TFTH

Wasn't stumped too long by this one! TFTC!

A windy Sunday and the Festival of the Winds is underway. After watching it for a while, Ms Atalanta and I walked to Bronte and on the way, picked up this cache. I slight diversion (read "found the wrong stump first") but soon had cache in hand. Then some lunch at the nearby Bogey Hole Cafe, then home on a 440 bus. TFTC

Four adventurous students and two teachers with nothing better to do decided to go on a treasure hunt.we left behind gum. The most generous of the group (Master Tom) left a coin.

T4TC

2yr old daughter's first cache. Found it with minimum difficulty. Daughter loved her "treasure" and left a special gift for the next hunter. Text:)
