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

Didn’t find this one, surely people on the path and the highway thought I was trying to climb the sign. Stumped on this one.

DNF :/

Argh no

During a recent drive by past this cache it looks like the structure eluded to in the hint has been replaced. A check by the CO may be needed here.

Searched the obvious nothing to find for me Lokky1

Couldn’t seem to locate this one. A fellow geocacher was with me who found this before and insists it’s now gone : (

TFTC

Thank you for the cache!

First ever find (new to this)

On my way to Dubai / Europe and catching a 6am flight from Sydney! So after catching a bus from where I was staying, I hopped off and decided I had time to quickly find this cache which was nearby before heading over to the airport. My flight lands at 1:45pm the same day in Dubai with a layover long enough to do some caching so looking for a good stat between finds on the same day!

I scratched around with my big backpack and torch for a few minutes before I realised where the obvious spot was, and soon located the cache, at 3am may I add too!

Thanks rinsemesocks for this cache near my bus stop, gave me something easy to grab

Sneaky find before working night shift

The cache just keeping rolling in 3rd today

Found it. I have a metal erection.

A hint would be appreciated.

Can't believe this I've took me so long to find! Feels like everyone is watching you as they pass but you're probably out of view. Thanks for placing here.

TFTC

it’ll need more log paper soon tftc

TFTC!

Found it. Thanks troll

One last quick find while waiting for Mrs Swampcreature to arrive from the USA.

Nova Scotia to Australia. We are enjoying a month circumnavigating Australia on the Sea Princess. Our goal is to find at least one geocache in each port. Thanks to all the cache owners in this beautiful country.

Our first cache in Australia. Have to give it a favourite!

Tftc

out doing the Airport drop off today & picked this cache as it was almost a P&G (short walk)

thanks for placing this cache rinsemesocks

Log 1790 Streak Day 785

Me and my cousin couldn’t find it but my mum found it within 5 minutes

Parked 300m on the other side of the creek as I was unsure of parking. Jogged over to GZ at where I thought it would be attached to the bridge and still further to go. Quickish find at GZ as per hint, thanks rinsemes

Good location and neat hide. Our first cache in Australia.
Took Parrot magnet and left bottle opener keychain.
SL. TFTC.

Thanks

A muggle free morning made a pleasant cache retrieval. Jumped a couple of orange hurdles onto the new pathway but nothing was damaged in the process. TFTC!

The area had been closed off today for some path upgrades, but with no workmen around and the work not impacting GZ, we decided to go for the find. And a quick find it was! TFTC!

rinsemesocks I found your cache Princes Highway Troll @ Wolli Creek on 25/11/18, 10:25 am. This is my find 2168 and find # 3 today. Found a parking spot down the road, over the bridge. Walked back and wasn't long before CIH. Thanks for the cache! TNSLLN

There were muggles galore on the road and on the building site but we managed to extricate the cache without being obvious. It should be really lovely here once work has been completed. Tftc

Hanging out, waiting for the next flight to Norfolk Island.

Rinsemesocks! What? You out here too?

Cheers.

Found it! Just a note, it's a building zone now as council are in the middle of doing work on the walkway.

Found it,but be careful,it’s a building site

Found it,nice and easy find,but be careful it’s blocked off ‍‍

Quick find cycling here today. Thanks for the cache. We greatly appreciate the time and effort of so many great Cache owners in establishing and maintaining their caches for the enjoyment of the rest of us *cachers* seeking a smiley.

Another troll down.
This troll likes to sunbathe. Pity its winter and there is a cold wind blowing.
Thanks.

Found - good spot. Looks exposed but from a car a person can’t be seen that well. I wouldn’t say it’s a “sit down and retrieve” more like a “lie down”!

Found! A cool position in a cool place,it was really fun!! I loved the view of the boats and the river

Meh

Too late in the day for a really good search

On a one day stop over in Sydney on our way to Norfolk Island and this was our first Australian geocache! We had a lovely walk through the park from our hotel and saw some really strangle looking birds with long bills... never seen anything like them before! Got to GZ fine and then had to read a few logs before we found the hiding place. Signed and returned the log without being noticed. TFTC

On the way home thought I’d play a quick cache. Easy find

Quick find

Now that was obvious. Quick grab as I past on my Sunday morning cycle. TFTC RMS #640

Awesome. Didn’t see any trolls.

Nice find. Thanks

Done

Nice spot! I seem to be in the area only when it's dark! Tftc!

To easy

Cool spot super relaxing

Nice!

Nice easy find after 2 DNF's earlier today.
Stopped at Wolli Creek on the way home from Bondi.
TFTC rms.

Was in the area buying some shoes and walking to the station. I checked if there were any caches. Got to gz and made a quick find tftc

Found laying on the ground. Returned in better way...

Good place for a troll. Thanks for the cache.

Quickly found.

Easy one

Found super quickly. The cache had fallen down, so we saw it just lying there on the ground. We replaced it where we suspect it should have been. TFTC.

Another quick find.

So, rinsemesocks gets down this way too. This cache was not actually attached to anything, so I used its magnetic qualities to attach it to where it presumably should have been. TFTC.

Staying nearby at got this on an early morning stroll. Lovely day but the river is a bit smelly! Took Quebec travel bug as I couldn't fit it back in the container! Thanks for the cache.

At a stopover made some caches around the hotel. TFTC

Beim Zwischenstopp in Sydney noch ein paar Caches geholt. TB in. DFDC

Previously logged under team account BoogieRogue. Re-logging with my individual account. Found it quickly while waiting for the Uber to arrive to take us to the airport.

Back in Australia, for the three weeks SGAT, "SisterCornys Great Australian Roadtrip": In a small campervan from Sydney to Melbourne along the coastline.
Before renting the camper, we have two days in Sydney for sightseeing and caching.
Day two lead us to places near to our appartment, doing some more local then touristic spots. Great as well!
Found easily, TFTC

Thanks to the hint, this was a quick find on my way to Tempe.

Thanks rinsemesocks.

Found

Jumped off the train at Wolli Creek to scrub one more day off the calendar. Ths is not where I would normally expect to find a Troll but the location is spot on and comes to hand easily. Dau 172 for me.

Found it pretty easy as it was just laying on the ground when I walked over haha. Gotta love the easy ones sometimes. Either it needs better magnets or somebody didn't replace it properly.

A rollercoaster of situations on this cache. The description and coordinates made it seem pretty obvious where to look, but there was nothing to find. The hint and a few recent logs suggested another spot, where I found a lid with tape on it, but no cache. Then I saw a recent photo that meant that the lid I found wasn't from the cache and I was in the right spot to start with. I rechecked and extended my search but found nothing. I think it might be gone.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

A bridge, a mint tin, RMS. thank you for welcoming me to Rockdale. TFTC.

Nice easy find

Easy TFTC, wasn't under the bridge

Eazy 2 seconds to find

I was in Sydney for work and after minimal sleep, and a 3am start, I had spent the majority of my day in a meeting discussing WHS law, while the beautiful weather outside teased me through the windows. So when the working day concluded First thing I wanted to do was get outside for some fresh air. It was a short walk to this cache and the pathway was nice and quiet. As I approached GZ it became clear the hunt for this one was not required as the cache was lying on the ground in the open. I signed the log book and returned the cache to the pretty likely hiding spot however it probably should be checked for correct placement. This was a nice spot to watch the plane take off in the setting sun. TFTC

Woo hoo

Long story but was in the Area so thought why not. Loads of cars about but they were def focused on the road not me! TFTC!

Found easily, seen on approach to the likely structure. Busy road at mid morning, but found a break in traffic to get here. Now hoping for same luck to cross back. TFTC rinsemesocks

A quick find on lovely day in an area I haven't previously visited. TFTC rinsemesocks.

At first I thought it was on the bench but I couldn't seem to find it and then when I read the hint I thought it was at the entrance of the bridge but after thinking about the the hint I found it. Pretty easy find if you pay close attention.

Quick find nice weather

Found this on my way back from roller derby training It was a very pretty walk along the bridge. When reading the description I thought the cache would be on a bench but could see that it was hidden somewhere else when I got there. Thanks for the cache!

Today's score was four founds and four DNFs.

Replaced container and log sheet after reading all previous logs.

Found. As others said, needs new log and lid. Replaced in manner to try minimise water ingress. CIH after quick search. TFTC!

Lid is still missing and needs new log book.

Tftc quick find needs new log book and lid is missing

The lid is missing and the log consists of a couple of scraps of paper. Both need replacing.

Out with Trodectus for a twilight find. Arrived GZ and after short search T had CIH. Just a couple of paper scraps to use for signing, signed and returned. TFTC

Found with Coybear2000. It was getting dark so we decided against looking for a nearby climbing cache and to try for this one instead. We followed the path but our units reached GZ before we got to the bridge. A quick read of the description assured us we were at the right spot so we started our search and soon had CIH. TFTC.

Found it without too much difficulty on an afternoon walk, however needs maintenance. Thanks

#3885 (3 of 4 today)

Decided to hit a few caches around Wolli Creek today. Headed out after lunch and struggled through the traffic.
Went for five and found four - three of which were very quick finds. And of course while in the middle of all this publishing happened - closest was Petersham but decided to stay where I was.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Didn't expect the placement, so initially walked past it, but quickly saw the numbers were getting bigger again and relocated for a quick find.

Completed signing duties and noted the issues with the container. Unfortunately I don't have one with me camoed and with an appropriate attachment.

Replaced and on to my last target - decided, as I often do, to avoid tree climbs when it's wet.

Found the cache but as the poster below notes - lid missing and empty. Found some remnant of the log and placed back into cache but definitely needs maintenance.
