As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been longer than 28 days since the last reviewer 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 28 days), just contact us (by email) once the cache is in place, and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll 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.
Possibly muggled? would be great if someone who has found it before could visit again if nearby. Alot of DNF lately.
Based on other's comments, fairly sure where it is. Consider making it more accessible when gates are locked over the off season.
Found the clue, but not sure if that is the actual cache - I think the item may be missing

Hint definitely helped. School kids soccer gala day on, so had to be stealthy! Good cammo! TFTC
2nd find in the Balls series. Spot on co-ords made it easy to find just had to look harder. Blended in soo well! No-one around today either. SL TFTC
#116 - GPS got dodgy here for some reason, so after a few minutes searching with no results, we checked the clue - and even so, it took my eyes a second or two to realise what I was staring at. Nicely done! And now off to Soccer. 
Great camo although I must be blind... It was basically staring right at me the entire time.
Hint was good, I was just not attentive enough.
Thanks for the cache!

Luckily there are no sports events or practice on Easter Saturday and I had the place to myself and soon located the cache.
I now had to head south to Sydney to find Lane Cove before I headed back to Brisbane.

I was over visiting my brother and thought I should gab another cache today Thanks for the effort Team Tonka
Our 2nd day in Newcastle, we have teamed up with Liz and Bruce to find a few caches.
Another tricky little cache. A good hint helped with the find.
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
Didn't have time earlier in the day to get a cache, so came out after dark to find one.
First went to the netball one, but in the dark couldn't find it. and the drain was gushing with water.
So I came out to this one. Went to the closest back corner then walked the long way right around the nets.
Thanks for the quick wet night find!

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!
Found this with the girls on a night of caching. We thought this cache was only able to be accessible in the day, but as we got closer we found it no troubles at all. Nice easy find. Signed the log and heading off to the next one of the series. TFTC
Lovely little stroll around these top sporting fields. Find was quick. The walk back to the car was a little less picturesque with all the broken alcohol paraphernalia littered everywhere around the clubhouse......sad

I liked this cache, nicely planned, and at GZ the cache could be seen but would not normally be noticed by sports people. Thanks for a good hide.
Warm day again

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 parked the Geolux and made my way down towards GZ. I began my search and after a couple of minutes a crafty little hide was found, the log signed, returned and I was on my way.

Almost poked this one with my nose as I poked around looking for this one. I just never spot the most obvious.

After a bit of difficulty in getting to the container and unscrewing the top, I managed to sign the log.
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.

On a drizzly Sunday morning I came here to find "Balls out : Football" (which I had spied before and was saving for my 366 day matrix) but it appears to have been muggled, so I headed for this one thinking that the hint is not really a hint, but it was a perfect hint! Only Wednesday to go for my 366th, TFTC Team-Tonka!!
Niece found this one.
Think of the two games being the same and in a small space, compared to the surroundings.

Decided to drop in here on the way to visit mum on a quiet Sunday morning. After finding Balls out: Netball and football I dropped in to find this one.
There was nobody at the cricket ground as I walked over to the gz but as a game was just starting at the nearby football club this cache is exposed to anybody looking.
I found the cache easily and extracted the log and managed to sign ok listening to the calls from the football game that had started.
Thanks to Team-Tonka for the cache.

Another FTF (fifth-to-find).
Number three for me. Darn, left the torch at home. I want daylight saving back, I've lost an hour on light.
This one quite clear of muggles and could duck down out of sight. Log was tight in the tube and had a struggle to extricate it but got it finally.
Thanks Team Tonka

Reperio at 1650. FTF!
After almost arriving at a cache in Hexham, I got the notification for a few new caches south, and so did a quick u-turn and headed towards them instead. Arrived at 'Balls Out: Soccer' to find a couple of cachers already there...and so after a quick chat...I headed off across he fields on foot while they headed to 'Balls Out: Netball' to grab that one. The cache was quickly spotted...although had a little bit of trouble getting the log out as it was a tight fit. This was the only cache of the series where there weren't a hundred kids playing in the vicinity.
Gratias 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 Coming from the football field, we soon came up trumps with the sneaky cache, it is at night time as its surrounding are the same color as the cache.
