Hi smirkwood,The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm 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 4 weeks) 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 listing and post a new note every 4 weeks to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.Ngaambul - Matt
No luck today. There was a fair bit of overgrowth around the only visible rock pile there. I'll try again later!
Split into 2 and still could not find it after lifting multiple rocks and going through the bushes
A few caches later, thought I’d come back for this one. Armed with a keener eye than before and a couple of helpful items I always carry around with me these days, this was a satisfying find.
It was guarded by a sunbathing blue-tongue, which was a bonus. TFTC.

My first DNF and most probably not my last!
Will return with the family at some point to get extra eyes. Every rock and brick overturned but discovered nothing except prickles stuck in my clothes and a new-found dislike of ants.
Onwards.

We went as a group today from Oatley OOSHCare, and we eventually did find it, with a little help from a neighbouring resident!
We have a few riddles to help you find it if you’re stuck too:
1. I am a famous person nicknamed “the rock”
The first part of my name is a famous person’s nickname. The second part of my name holds up your house and makes it sturdy.
2. I’m near a lot of ants! Watch out, they might get in your pants!
3 I’m made of rocks and I hold up houses. What am I?

This place does indeed have a nice view. Found on a perfect spring arvo. Good area, good hide. Thanks for placing 
The two logs in this cache are damaged are wet and it’s hard to close it and it’s rusting
The last county I needed for NSW! What a great view to finish on. Container was quickly found so then I had time to enjoy the view and think of all the fabulous places I've been and experiences I've had to reach this point. TFTC
I was here mostly to grab grounds for pleasure but came past this one. Got to GZ and expected something very tricky so I sat down and read the logs. Looking over my options something just jumped out at me and yes that was it. Tucked away neatly. I had brought some log paper with me but the cachet before has already taken care of that and there is plenty of writing space. Sat down to log it on the chair and admired the view TFTC
This cache was tricky, but I was so happy when I found it. It’s a unique cache in a creative spot and a beautiful view. I read the logs before leaving so I brought a piece of paper to use as a temporary log. Thankyou for the cache!
A nice quick find in a likely spot after admiring the view. The logbook is missing as one previous finder noted, I wish I had read that before I set off for this cache as I would of brought a spare with me. None the less I improvised, thank you!
Found again 4 years later. Log inside zip loc is wet and may need some maintenance. TFTC
Quick find after waiting out some muggles. Lid wasn’t on so log very wet, shook out water and clipped lid on.
This one took us longer than we thought it would, but we got there in the end. Great spot! TFTC
3rd cache for the day, not too hard but not too easy either. It's not in a suicidal place but not good for the really young ones.
A walk from the station saw me checking out the prices of a stack of real estate. So arriving at GZ a quick search saw me find the block of flats! Pic included.
Thanks smirkwood and clear skies from TeamAstro. ️ Cache the planet!

No smiles for us today but lots of plant seeds! Everywhere. Tftc
To celebrate the wonderful Countrykittykats birthday, we set ourselves the mad challenge of visiting 30 counties in a day. Not at all sure that it was possible, I planned and prepped and we set out hoping for the best. Only hunting for D1.5 T1.5 caches to accomodate Countrykittykats injured ankle. Low are behold after an epic day of caching, where we saw beach and city, suburbs, bush and farms. We made it! Our 30 counties found and one extra for good measure Just for an extra perk. A wonderful day out together and an adventure we won’t forget quickly! Thanks everyone for making this wonderful day possible by keeping your caches alive. TFTC

Great hiding spot whoever hid it,look around if your having trouble,and also good luck Geocachers!!
After having just struck out on the nearby A Bit Of A Scramble cache i decided to come and have a go at this one.
After getting to the GZ i searched a couple of likely hiding spots and soon had the CIH.
A lovely day to sit and look out at the view while signing the log.
Thanks.

I feel it was a lucky find. Just happened to move the right cork and there it was behind. Thanks for the cache. Nice quiet cycling streets around here. 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 and experience many different environments.
On a day out with mizmaz (shopping and a CITO event nearby) we took advantage of our location and decided to grab a few smiles along the way. CITO done and dusted and time for a few more smiles. Gorgeous view TFTC
Took a slight deviation on the way to work today, jumping off the M5 Motorway at King Georges Road, to grab a few caches around Oatley. Have been busy creating caches, with 6 published last month and another one almost ready to go, so it was nice to get out & about to make some finds. This was the 5th of 5 finds for today.
Parked the geomobile close to GZ, on Rosa Street, then headed into the little reserve and over to GZ for a nice quick find, the last for the day. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found.
The views from GZ are quite impressive, and so was the colourful blooms on display around the reserve. The red bottlebrush was particularly striking, with several rainbow lorikeets enjoying it's sweet nectar. TFTC smirkwood.

Filling in a bit of time after a CITO event before heading home, also targeted a few PnG caches around the Oatley area. Discovered lots of hidden pockets of parkland, great views and some quick smileys. Cache here had its own guardian right on gz in the form of a friendly cat.
Went to a lower level before settling in the correct area and once there after a brief search it was CIH. TFTC and showing me this lovely view.
Such amazing views, thanks for briging us here. Took a bit longer than it should have but finally found it TFTC
