What the smurf! Bligh Park, New South Wales, Australia

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.

Walked to GZ with a neighbour mowing his lawn nearby. Had a quick look around but the camo is elusive, TFTH

No response from CO regarding the NM request, has not logged in since June 2013. Perhaps time to let this one go to prevent fruitless searches by future hopeful finders?

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.

Perhaps time for a cache check from the CO? Thanks in advance.

No sign of it

Not found on this visit.

Unfortunately I found no sign of the cache today, although didn't spent too much time looking as a neighbour from across the street pulled up on her bicycle and was giving me strange looks.

Cool spot. Bring a pen as we forgot

Cutest container

Thought this would have been a easy one. Did not find unfortunately.

A good cache, love the smurf home. TFTC

Nice container. Tftc

Iker found this one. TFTC.

What a smurf! It was so smurfy!
More versatile than some other words.

Left my pen at home but awesome hiding place!! Coming back and signing it! Awesome spot!

Made my way down the thin black line again early this morning, Every tradie on the Central Coast must work in Sydney with the amount of utes and traytops heading south. First stop North Ryde to get the Geo Truck serviced and then out to South Windsor to get some work done on the tray. The sad part of my life is I can’t travel anywhere on business without first checking what caches are available in the area. So hopefully I’ll pick up a few along the way. Great cache. TFTC

We had a night at the Richmond Club before returning to Port Macquarie.
We found a variety of caches, some very frustrating & others a little easier.
We went from churches, railroads & neighbour hood suburbs.
The hint was no help as I didn't watch the Smurfs. It was a good hide, so now I know.
Thanks for placing this cache goatwebs

Cute little smurf cache haha

E&A

I saw the entrance to the reserve as I was driving up, so I parked and went in, with about 160m showing to GZ. When I got to roughly 20m, I realised I was on the wrong side of the fence. I made it through the barbed wire fence without problem, but managed to get a coating of grease all over my hands from the second fence .

Cache was a simple find after the fence hassle.

Thanks .

Due to me being an overprotective Mummy T-Rex and the fires up the mountains, I let the Junior T-Rexs take a day off school and come with me on a geocaching run to conquer Bligh Park. I think we made a huge dent into the territory with 8 caches found, not bad for a morning run.
We loved the variety of creative containers we found, thanks for putting in the effort.

This was our 5th stop. Avoid the giant ants nest and tah dah! The find was made smurfully. The smurfy puns of course ensued and I offered to leave Emo Smurf and Sooky Smurf at the new village, but they declined in a not so smurfy manner.

So that's the juniors surf names - Emo Smurf and Sooky Smurf, and of course mine has to be Stompy Smurf.

Some trades were made and we were on our way.

No problem with locating this one as it was quite exposed.
Added some more camo on its return.

Find 4031 logged from c:geo.

Found it

On a glorious spring day and fueled by sugar madness (Bottomless Slurpee day @ 7/11) we went on a little family caching trip. Devouring as many slurpees as possible & finding caches along the way.
Totally Smurfy! THanks for the Cache goatsweb........you may call me Stringy Smurf!

Found it. Quite an easy find at GZ. Took TB.

TFTH & SL. We have got one lil happy Geohunter.

Nice easy find, Mr 3 made the grab. It's quite big for a micro...but an appropriate place to leave the Hefty Smurf Travel Bug. SLTFTC

Nice container
Cache was open however we found the log close by - reset cache .

That was far too easy. TFTC

Tftc SL. Hid cache better then it was last left as it was out in the open

Found it with team gay

Interesting container. TFTC.

Found, awesone container

Found, quite cute

Early morning find with The Rats. The container was just what I expected.

Cheers

Heading out to western Sydney today. Hoojar and I set about finding some of the many caches that dot the area.
No smurfs here today, but at this time of day there was no-one around.

Thanks

At 10am there wasn't a soul in sight. A quick find, a very quick find. Lets hope the muggles don't find it. Thanks goatwebs.

Not able to search due to the neighbours watching my every move,don't like these hides in plain view,

Cheers

La la Lalalala La la la la Laaaaa!
That was smurfy!

Nice easy find before work. Hidden exactly where a good smurf should be.
Thanks goatwebs

Taking up a new part time job in Bligh Park allowed me to do a bit more geocaching than usual in one day, some on the way to work and some on the way back to the Blue Mountains. In all, I managed seven finds, one DNF and one partial completion of a multi. Not a bad day at all!

This wasn't a tough find -- my seventh of the day -- since I pretty well guessed what I was looking for, but the gathering darkness and people clearly evident at the houses just across the street added a degree of difficulty.

Someone had piled a huge heap of natural camo right on top of the cache, so I moderated it a bit, to allow the cache's own camo to do its job and be appreciated.

All was otherwise in good order. TNLNSL.

Many thanks to goatwebs for yet another cache in the area.

Took a short hunt with the family, but got there in the end.

Found by dad after a short look, while out with the family.

I agree with dkmacca: these streets are terrible to find your way around, or would be without a car GPS. When we got there, there was a council guy not too far away doing garden work on a nature strip. He looked at us, but didn't seem to pay too much attention.

We actually looked about for a few minutes, certain of what we were looking for, but expecting to see something that looked a lot different, since we had found something similar in the mountains not too long ago. When I didn't find it, I followed what I figured was the caching trail, and there it was peeking out at me. Fit for smurfs, indeed. Thanks

#1816- Much bigger and brighter than I had expected. bikerbuddy spotted it- I certainly am turning blind.....

The town planner who designed these streets should be sacked, no easy way by road to this cache with all the streets going in no general direction, Any way I arrived at GZ and saw something that needed investigating. Nice theme cache here. TFTCM

Late night find to keep the streak alive. The area was very wet from the huge down pour today but cache contents are nice and dry. I didn't notice the Neighbour across the street until I was leaving, however he may have noticed me pottering around with my torch. SL #727 on streak day #211 TFTC

Quick find by geo daughter loved the cache

Geo Daughter found this one while the family was caching in the area.

TFTC.

Good cache, GREAT camo! TFTC

A fun hide! My favourite of yours today.

TFTC.

again another trip to the dump and a hunt for a new cache. When not doing RAAFie Reserve stuff I let my beard grow and as it is snowy white I am known as Papa Smurf especially when I go to work and get dressed in blue theatre gear.
Thanks Acko

I had forgotten about Smurfs, until I found the container.

Thanks goatwebs

My brother loved this cache and actually thought smurfs lived at gz he wanted me to logg.

After a short search the cache was located. Log signed and replaced.

Tks ... goatwebs ... GazMag
