One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep 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, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

As per reviewer's last log.

Out of action sorry for the inconvenience

With the many DNFs and no recent finds, this cache needs attention.

Can the CO please perform a check on this cache?

Tried our best despite muggles and the previous DNF's. No luck either. Will have to agree that the damage to the structure and the signs of recent flooding make the survival of this cache questionable. Please can we get it checked?

Not sure it is there, as entire area was underwater in the recent heavy rains.

Pretty sure it's not there any more

Couldn't find

Another dnf. Just a hint to replace or archive. Sadly, the structure is not well treated, or well maintained.

Despite spending a great deal of time here we could not locate this cache. I believe it to be missing. Will Happy Paintball check it out?

Couldn't find it

This was the second of two DNFs for today. After finding ‘5-in-1 Puzzle Cache’, I needed to head back to civilisation to find a bathroom and luckily I quickly found the facilities at Rouse Hill Village. I was still keen to find some more caches so I decided to stay local and head over to Stanhope Gardens. I found a place to park close to GZ and having already found some of the nano series, I knew what to look out for. I also considered the hint and looked under every section but to no avail. Upon reading some logs and considering the state of GZ, it is likely the cache is missing. Some of the railings have been broken and some of the slats on the seats are loose.

Too many muffles around

Log absolutely full needs replaced. Thanks.

Decided to knock over a few local caches today to set myself up for my 400th, hopefully very soon. Nice quick find, well guarded by geese. Log absolutely full needs replaced. TFTC

Easy to miss

Tftf...

Found it!! Ways it so small

We drove past this several times. Glad to see there's a cache here. Parked on the grass and headed to gz. The hint helped. Tftc SL

TFTC.

Cute TFTC

Had a spare hour to kill this afternoon so decided to clear some unfound HappyPaintball caches near to home. This was first on the list. There was a muggle mum with 2 kids feeding the ducks as I approach, but after one look at me she grabbed at the kids and hurdled them away (do I look that scary?). After that it was a quick easy find. TFTC HappyPaintball!

TFTC quick find. TNLN

Tftc

TFTC

Found it with GDN

Found it 3/3

A quick and easy find for the afternoon.

Didn't take too long, TFTC, a nice end to the day

Braved the geese, found the cache!

I came past here a week ago but there was a muggle fishing in the pond and he had all his gear piled on GZ so I continued on my way. Today, I arrived just as some muggles were departing so GZ was soon deserted.

I found the cache after a short search. There are a few likely places to check.

I signed the log then sat and watched the ducks for a while. It's a nice spot.

Thanks HappyPaintball.

The ducks were onto me as soon as I arrived. I thought they were going to give away the game but as soon as they saw I wasn't bearing food they left me to my own devices. Got this one. My caching eyes were struggling this afternoon. Finished with a 50/50 result, probably my worst ever!
TFTC

Thought I would tackle this one on a drizzly morning as there was not a muggle in sight. Arrived at GZ, looked around. Read the hint, looked a bit harder. About to log a DNF when I thought I'll just walk around a bit further and found this nano on the deck. Signed the log and put it back at GZ where I thought it should have been. TFTC.

Even with the hint we did not find this one. Twilight not helpful so will be back in daylight.

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Found it.

A quick find, had to wait for muggles to go.

tftc sltn

Nice and quick find while out with hammerman.
TFTC & Happy Caching - The Trixter

Heading out west today and the GeoWife spotted the chance to FTF a new log so we diverted for this one.
Good coords and hint reduced the search time to seconds.
Signed the new log.
TFTC

new container and log. All good to go

sourcing new container sorry for the delay

As per last note cache nowhere to be seen

Due to a couple of DNF will be taking this off line till I can check or replace cache sorry for any inconvenience cheers
Happypaintball

No luck even my sister sevabo checked up too but no nano there... so please check up. Thanks HappyPaintball.

Nice spot by the water for a cache. TFTC

Good hiding third for the day, thanks happy

Small but good. No muggles around so found quick.

On my way home from Rouse Hill shops and wanted another find for the day. Found the cache within a couple of mins. Thanks Happy!!

Muggle free this morning. Took me longer to find than it should have. Thanks Happypaintball

Had to wait about half an hour till the muggles left but finally found our second find much smaller than I thought

A tiny, quick and easy find with ADAcache, Gowza, Karbonator, Lettrius & company. TFTC

Had a boy look the first time! Lucky someone had sharper eyes! TFTC

Found it with Kabonator & others.

A quick find!

Had a look after a few other eyes had passed through. Quick find for me

Really wanted to go out on a caching spree this evening but the wind and coolness told me no haha but wanted to keep my streak alive as im getting the momentun going of one day again so travelled to this one as i knew the area and knew what to look for. TFTC HP

PS. Log is full - i was gonna replace it for you but realised my nano logs were not in the car with me

Finally, location was muggle-free on the 4th visit (and it's a weekday, which helps!).
Log is getting a little brittle and is full, so I wrote on the back. TFTC!

After another DNF at Bella Vista bison I still needed a find for today. Parked in the street nearby and walked over. Having found some of the others in this series had me looking for similar. When I spotted a Munzee I knew I wasn't far off but I still couldn't spot it. I then had another thought and found it. It was a bit damp inside but that doesn't stop my pen.
That makes 250 days of continuous finds.

Thanks!

I moved on to this cache. I remember another mystery being here a while back, Hmm...Anyway, I parked close by and walked over towards GZ. A lone muggle was sitting at GZ, as I walked around trying to get a fix on GZ. He asked what I was measuring and I struck up a conversation with him. I told him what I was doing and we had a nice little chat. Turns out he WAS directly on top of the cache. He politely moved and I made the find. SL and replaced. Thanx for another in the series, TFTC.

Nice easy one from happypaintball for a change! TFTC!

Down in Sydney for a weekend with KidzJCT and Trenton8or. Took some time out from shopping to grab some caches.

Feather friends were interested in us 1st find

1st of 74 finds for the first day of our Sydney Geocaching weekend adding numbers to our count for the Scout Geocaching competition. Feathered friends far too intetested in us.

A bit to much ducks today

Those Ducks are hungry!

Great quick find! No muggles around - just the feathered kind. TFTC

Sorry for late log. Thanks to mizmaz for getting me back up to date and remembering all the ones I never got around to logging at the time.

Last of the series and the first one to produce what I expected. After dodging the calling cards of the nearby wildlife (thanks sazzyK for the warnings!), grabbed, signed and returned log to it’s traditional hide.

Wow!! This is one popular park. Returned several times before I had the place to myself. Quick and easy cache. Found straight away. Replaced and enjoyed sitting in the Autumn sunshine watching the ducks and geese. If you have kids bring the bread!! TFTC!!

Quick check all is as it should be. Happy hunting

Just met ris768 by chance. Both walking away with heavy hearts. No find despite a good look, and even a phone-a-friend to a recent successor. Might need a check - suuuuurely we didn't just miss it?

Nope, scratch that. Ignore me. Found it. TFTC

PAF, met a cacher and still no luck finding this nano. That's 2 in the series I can't find. Just about to leave and another PAF called me back, this time we had success. Changed the DNF to a Found It! SL #801 on streak day #285 TFTC

Found with my first blind grab. Quick easy find!

Arrived to find muggle feeding the ducks sat down and waited him out . A quick search found in obvious place TFTC

Streak day 129 #1098

Quick easy find while the ducks were swimming around!

Talk about muggle central!!! 7.30pm on a Sunday night & so many people, plus there was some one fishing in the pond!?! So waited out the group & very sneakily did the oh we dropped something & Bazinga CIH...remember this spot well from the last cache that was hidden here but there was more duck poop last time think the rain has been a blessing lately...T4TC

This took way too long what with hopeless searching and three lots of muggles!?!

TFTC.

New log sheet put in
Ready to go

Once the muggles disappeared, GeoSon "M" made a quick find. Quickly signed log and returned.
There is not too much more space on log Happy.

Found while doing some cache maintenance with the CO. new log sheet installed. TFTC

I needed a cache today for my caching calendar, so despite the very inclement weather GeoWife and I headed out to attempt just the one cache.

We have cleaned up all the nearby caches so it was a 50 kilometer round trip to make the find.

The rain persisted as I left the car with GeoWife snugly tucked inside. A short walk had me crossing great sheets of water until the GPSr had me safely at GZ. We must have had the caching Gods smiling on us today as the cache was located in the very first place I looked.

Signed the now nearly full log and replaced all as it had been found.

Tks ... HappyPaintball ... GazMag

An neat and well executed series of caches, found after brief search.
