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.

Tftc

I am away for three weeks will check on it upon return.

DNF, can some one please do a cache check on this geocache!!

DNF, can some one please do a cache check on this geocache!!

Grrrr

It's a tricky one. Couldn't find it

Hint was a great help! Thanks!

TFTC

Found it and also Found a second cache here ( probably the missing one) but log was full I took the old one for another location. TFTC

Found with Murpdog MURPHDOGG TFTC

Found it after reading the clues carefully

Very good hide. Thanks

The hint helps. Also a handy 6 year old.

TFTC!! Nice quick find tonight =)

Found whilst passing through the area

Attempted without reading past logs. A NM was logged in September over 3 months ago now. Nothing appears to have been done. May be time for intervention

replaced and back online

The Garbageman had already found this cache, but kindly gave me the chance to find it as we were driving right past GZ. I had a good look but no dice. The Garbageman told me where he had found the cache, and had a look as well, but the cache was not there. We had a quick look to see if the cache might be loose on the ground somewhere, but still couldn't find it.

It appears that this cache has gone missing, or is at best removed from it's previous hiding spot. The CO may want to check. It was fun to search for still

The copy and pasted bit: Today The Garbageman and I had an attempt at qualifying for the The Unique Difficulty/Terrain Challenge (GC54RAX), 25 caches in a day with unique DT ratings. It was so much fun, even though we didn’t make the 25. The Garbageman is a great bloke who did the driving, and took me to a lot of lovely places. We had so many laughs, it was awesome. My stats for the day: 23 finds, 22 unique DTs, 4 DNFs, 2 trackables involved, 2 ticks.

Sorry to do this, but it appears the cache may have gone missing (see previous log)

No find for us today. Looked everywhere we thought the cache would be. But not luck.

Found

Quick find. TFTC

So tiny! The hint was confusing at first but then made sense. First to log on new log.

Back ready to go

will reenable when replaced

New log

Squeezed my initials onto the log.... no room for anything else. Sneaky! TFTC

Walked past this one as a muggle so many time and not noticed it nice hide! Needs new paper tho

New log required Now! No more room for any more names.

First one of the Ball series. Parked the car & decided it was to be an exercise arvo. Unfortunately, we followed our GPSrs & were about 6m out. Should have used the entrance! Getting used to spotting nanos now so it was a quick find. We love the nanos! SL TFTC. No more room left on the log.

Found it but needs more paper. No room to sign!

Easy with the hint

Found it eventually. Log toooo small for me to sign. TFTC

#117 - This was a wonderful way to end the series, as we'd tried it once before when we were very new to caching and (predictably) failed. Knowing what you're looking for is a marvellous help! Though in hindsight, we probably shouldn't have walked across the soccer fields; they were more like pools than playing surfaces. Yesterday's storm clearly left its mark on Kahibah, I wish we'd got some of it. Thanks for the walk and the series, Team-Tonka - a lovely way to spend a Monday afternoon.

Very easy find, saw it from a mile away.

No muggles today. Thanks for the cache!

Came to find this series tonight but there happened to be a party straight across the road from the cache spot & people were out the front staring at us with our torches so we had to leave. Will try again during the day.

Great hint

I had a couple of hours to spare while my wife was getting a hair trim so headed down to this area. This was the first on the list and there was no one around on Easter Saturday so it didn't take long to spot the cache as the coordinates were spot on.

TFTC.

Took a while in the dark but finally found it

Hint made no sence untill we found it! This was a good one!

I was expecting this one to be near a toilet....Gotta stop watch US sit coms! I spied it as I approached GZ, an easy find! Thanks.

Nice quick one! Tfth.

Coords were spot on for us - think the clue is great too.
Had to wait for a couple of dog-walking-muggles to head home before moving in.

Grabbed this one a while ago only just catching up Thanks TT for the hide

After getting home from work, it was too late to go out with my son. We I went out after he went to sleep.
I had some trouble finding this in the dark. Coords were right in the middle of a path of grass/dirt.
Going around in circles, I eventually looked at the hint, which made no sense to me.
About to give up and on the way out I spotted it. Thanks for this series!

Our 2nd day in Newcastle, we have teamed up with Liz and Bruce to find a few caches.
There was a group of women with their fitness instructor working out at the edge of the field. We were quickly able to find & log the cache, without detection.
Thanks Team-Tonka

Having arrived in the Belmont area yesterday with Di Morgan and husband Bill it did not take long today to head off to do some of the trails and caches located within the nearby vicinity. It was the first time Bruce got to try out his cute little Strida lookalike fold up bike, which even with its small wheels performed well. Clue helped. A big thanks to Team-Tonka

After a few days of non caching I got the ole Geo itch again. Early morning start threw the trusty Mountain Bike in the back of the Geo truck and headed North. With a aim to complete the Toolbox Series and others of opportunity further North. Great cache, TFTC

We had a nice trip around Newcastle by bike. The weather was great. We found 30 caches. At the beginning we were attacked by thousands of mosqueitos, but we survived and enjoyed a lovely beach day. Thank you for all caches. Greetings from the Czech Republic.

Loved the Balls Out Caches series had a great night out with the girls finding them!

Parked the car at the cemetery and walked the Balls Out Series. One of the girls nearly walked into the massive spiderweb nearby haha. I like how this series can be accessible 24/7. Love these micros. TFTC

Very good hide..

Had to wait while some guys were kicking their ball around but the hide was quick and easy.

Found on the way to work

New cache in place please make sure you place the lid back on tightly

Found with little difficulty but there is only the lid left. Signed a bit of paper, rolled it up and wedged it in so there is something to sign for now but i doubt itll stay in there

All that is left is the lid

Managed to grab this one quickly. TFTC.

Good spot , very small kids loved finding it

Nice and easy find. Time for the rest in this series.

It was getting dark but I soon saw this one and found the lid was not on tightly. The thread of the container seems to be worn and may not hold. Thanks for a good hide.

Warm day again , last day today from 1st to 31st of august geocaching straight as first time ever... Tricky one as hide very well thanks

Being such a nice day, I couldn't let it go to waste so a trip to newcastle was on the cards to find some of my unfound caches in the area.

Having been past this location on a few occasions, but this time was the first time I stopped to have a look cause there was no muggles anywhere in site.

I pulled up right next to GZ and a quick find was made. It actually took longer to put the log back than it was to find it.

TFTC Team-Tonka

Excellent clue, quick grab from road. TFTC

Did not sign as pen ran put of ink!!!
Creative and very well blended!
Tftc

Smart hide, very small, didnt think it was the cache at first, horrible for short people like myself.. TFTC

Found this one with my local friend. I was going to get it last week but the cricket cache was surrounded by council workers so I came back today and there were people there again! Unfortunately there won't be a third chance. I fly our early tomorrow morning.

Anyway this cache was fun to find and my tall companion grabbed it easily! Thanks for the cache!

New log need as this one is full

Not so quick find, thinking my eyes need testing, looked right at it several times.

log replaced

In parking I just happened to obscure the only clue in the area lol, so after a bit of this way, that way, and ahhh! I got to sign this little buggers log. Not the smallest I've seen by the way, but a finger-full to replace.

Omg!! It was our first nano. Didn't realise it would be so small. Cute hint.

Found with my sister! Decided to go night time caching! Didn't realise how tiny it would really be TFTF!

This was a very unique series of caches, with very good containers and locations.

Thanks for the cache Team Tonka.

With freezing hands and faces, Cccritter7 and I set off on our great Geocaching adventure. We started with the Toolbox series on the Fernleigh Track, then found the Balls-Out series in the Kahibah Sports complex. After this, a few stand alone caches in Kahibah/Charlestown. We then zoomed down the Pacific Highway on our bikes. After a perilously steep hill in Windale, we searched for the 'Nature Bird' Series in Tingira Heights. It wasn't the greatest time to take these on, as there was some very muddy tracks. After a spot of lunch along the way, we completed the majority of the caches and came down to the shore of Lake Mac. We picked up the Billion Dollar Boardwalk Series, then went on a long ride along the beautiful Lake Mac, ending up at Mega Fun. We then headed to The Leaning Red Gum cache at Glendale. After that we enjoyed a McFlurry at Macca's, before setting off for the Glendale to Wallsend Power Trail. After completing this, we tiredly set off home, exhausted but tired after an awesome day of GeoCaching.

Nice entranceway and soon spotted the container. SL TFTC

Reperio at 1225.

I headed out tonight to check out a new cache just around the corner, so figured I may as well grab this one as well. I bumped into The Monks and SpikeyMikey on the day it was published, but since it had already been found, I left it for another day and headed off to grab the other in the series. Tonight the whole street was asleep, and so after a quick search, the littler blighter was found.

Gratias Team-Tonka.

After a bit of searching, the cache was ours! Nice nano

Quick find without getting sprung (I think), TFTC Team-Tonka!!

iPhone is not helping

iPhone was no help. Old man used his logic.

Found it

While doing the drunken bee dance I found a cricket ball. Thought at first that it must have been the cache, but that wouldn't last long with sporty muggles all around. Ipad wasn't being much help so I resorted to using the hint. No muggle would ever find that - well placed. TFTC Team-Tonka.

quick find. Little micro.

Decided to drop in here on the way to visit mum on a quiet Sunday morning. After finding Balls out: Netball , Football and Cricket I dropped in to find this one.
There was nobody at the soccer ground I parked right at the gz waited for a couple of cars to move on and made a quick grab of the cache.
I took it back to the car to sign then replaced ok.
Thanks to Team-Tonka for the cache.

*FTF* with spikey mikey. Raced to this one when the notification came through. Just beat MV who turned up and then took off on foot to the next one. Quick find.

Published

2nd to find nice quick find tftc

Another FTF (fifth to find)!
Last one of the series of four for me. Arrived at GZ as soccer training was wrapping up with muggles not far away. Was wondering how I was going to find this one without a torch as it was now dark. Luckily the ground lights provided just enough light to quickly spot the prize and a quick grab to get it. Took it back to the car to sign log but then had to wait as the future soccer stars were all leaving through the gate. Waited about five minutes till the last had left then replaced the cache. I like the hint.
Thanks for a fun little series Team Tonka

We headed into town this afternoon after work to meet up with the CO, and Whats the best thing to do when you with the CO?......Go find hes caches of course!

After a nice walk at night around the field, we arrived at GZ to find out what the hint actually meant! Is it coincidence that the CO's name is John?

Thanks Team-Tonka

*FTF* I received a phone call from TheMonks.............. "there are some new caches just near, get in the car, etc".
So down tools and off I race. Met with TheMonks and the first cache was quickly to hand, and a joint FTF was recorded. Then we realised that there were 4 new caches near, but MV had already arrived and was after the next one on foot, so we drove around to the furtherest.
