Recycling Oatley #1 Peakhurst Heights, New South Wales, Australia
By beaverfox on 27-Apr-13. Waypoint GC4ATE0

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.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am 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 28 days) 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 page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Failure to answer emails to N.M's and countless DNF's. Are we going to reinstate a container at GZ?

Continued from "Round about Oatley". Really spent too much time here until I realised there's a very high chance it's not here.
Even though there is a doggy find, it hasn't been found for over a year.
Needs a cache check or needs archiving.

Any chance of this one being replaced please?

Couldn't find any wire

Could CO please have a look at this one. I think the wire is broken.

Have been overseas for a while, will fix when I get back to Australia shortly.

Tried for 40 mins. Couldn't find it.

Didn't get this one

Really great location, heaps of fun looking for it, probs spent 20-30 mins looking for it. We searched everywhere and made for a great day.

Think this one is gone

Searched a long time. Didn't find. Didn't see rubbish, boardwalk being repaired by workman. Melelina suggested we leave.

This should have been an easy find, and indeed I think I know where it was probably hidden. Think it's gone.

Could the CO please check it out? I think it's missing.

Looked for ages and found nothing no sign of wire.

We are sorry. We found nothing so we are the third. Perhaps he is away. Greatings from Moorhelmi

I think I found the spot that fits the description and earlier logs, but couldn't see anything.

4 kids and 1 grown up, couldn't find it...

I came to attempt this cache last month but being accompanied by my sister with a broken rib who was also on the upside of recovering from pneumonia the step access from Jinna Ave was a little too daunting. So finally geotoddler and attached geobump decided we'd give this cache ago today. Thank goodness for the hint! The GPS on my android is useless so by the time I reached the boardwalk I had 517m to the cache....hmmmmm... I almost gave up and just as I was getting ready to head home (much to geotoddler's disappointment) I put my thinking cap up and cache finally in hand! TFTC and the lovely walk out in the summer on such a breezy winters day

We really like boardwalks through mangroves. If you take your time and keep your eyes and ears open all sorts of birds and critters can usually be espied. It was quite cool and shady in this area of our walk though so we did not tarry. Nifty hide and the clue helped us here to a quick find.

I'd never been as far as this board walk. Altaire and I stood about contemplating where this could by whilst a muggle and a dog passed us. The most obvious spot was checked and the cache lay in Sir Altaires hand. Nice spot here.

Nice, took me a little while to find it

Nice hide. Took the kids some time to digest the hint.

Wonderful hide & worth a fav point from me,

Good find by my boy, liked the hide.

Found on a nice stroll from the Scout Hall in Glen St (Landlubbers cache) via the roundabout at the end of Oatley Park, returning alond the western side. A recommended circuit with a few caches to be found along the way. I really appreciate the great wet lands / ponding works and the mangrove boardwalk. With the Mrs & Geo-mutts in company, I was just narrowing down the final co-ords at GZ and the Mrs says, "There it is". It reminds me of when you are playing solitaire and someone walks past and says, "black Jack on the red Queen, right there." Yeah, thanks! Oh well, there is no "I" in ......... whatever, I'll claim it. Lovely stroll along hidden paths. Thanks for bringing me back here beaverfox. Used to see a lot of foxes in these parts. No beavers, tho....................

Found it on a beautiful afternoon walk around the park. I was glad to find a pencil inside the container as I didn't have one with me.

Enjoyed a nice walk here from "Swamp Wallaby's Playground". Spent a while looking in the more obvious places and then spotted the hide. When I replaced it, it fell all the way down and I had to stick my arm right in to get it back! Luckily nothing bit me! Anyway, I retrieved the cache, bent the wire back into place, and replaced the leaves so all's good again

scouts had fun

I took a small group of scouts on a caching morning today, (which partly completes the scout technology badge) and they found 10 caches around Oatley park.
I only needed to find 3 of them, as I had found all the others previously.
This was the second of the three. The most recent log noted that this needs maintenance, but luckily one of the scouts has thin enough arms, and he was just able to reach the cache container and retreive it.
I plugged the space with a leafy branch, and we reset the cache in the leaves, rather than out of reach again.
Maintenance is still advised, but for now the cache is findable.

Tftc.

Wire broken and no leaves in place.

With a better satellite signal, i focused my eyes on this one unlike my last attempt

TFTC!
Originally we were looking at another spot, as the phone GPS wasn't accurate. Then Percita commented on how it would be a good place to hide a cache in a certain area, turns out thats where it was.

Our phones really didn't like those mangroves, so luckily beaverfox and I clearly think alike!
Very clever cache and a nice hide, TFTC

Found with "The Neighbs".
Great coords made for a quick find.
Clever cache hide

TCTC beaverfox

A very pleasant walk, rewarded with a quick find. Great hide beaverfox.

Good hide, spotted by my gf. Lovely spot TFTC

Found with gmbain - great hide. TFTC.

TFTC!! Great find...great creativity, was quite tricky but glad we had someone with long arms:)

Wow, what a tricky little spot. We found it though. TFTC.

If your feet are in the mud then you're not doing this one properly..........

TFTC

Cheers

You are right, they are scary looking mangroves, especially on dark!

TFTC beverfox lovely area, that I haven't been to before.

Found with Team McKay. As description says, just a little stretch needed. No need to go onto mangrove. Great hide. TFTC.

TFTC!

Nice Hide have been here before chasing Munzee`s Like the Cache Hide Thanks

Excellent camo in top spot and found with help from geokid2. TNLN, Tftc

This was a great walk, love the hide.

Have been twice and could not find it. We had a good look both times. Wondering if it has gone missing? We are new at this though

Oh it was found yesterday. Ok will head back again some time

I remember coming here in the past for another cache that was nearby. I liked the hiding spot, thanks beaverfox.

I was a little slow to notice the new caches in the area so I missed out on FTF but I had a great late afternoon nonetheless. Nice hide this one, and also a spot I had never visited before so two ticks. Surprisingly, two young boys walked passed as my sister and I were signing the log... I hope they forget all about what the saw and don't come back to muggle it!

I got out of bed this morning when nicksmyname woke me up and told me that there was a new cache hidden near Hurstville golf course so I got up got dressed and strapped myself into the car. We got about 200m from the cache so we walked along the track and eventually got to the GZ. We searched for about 5 minutes when I called out 'hey whats that ...' turned out it was the cache and I was FTF!!!!!

I loved the short bushwalk to the GZ. Reception was a bit erratic due to tree coverage, but there weren't too many places it could be so the cache was soon in hand. TFTC.

FTF with Katsumar! When this came up yesterday afternoon I was sure it would be picked up quickly, but when I got home it was surprisingly still unfound.
First thing this morning I checked again. Still not found. Then all I had to do was wait for Katsumar to wake up and off we went.
This corner of the park was a bit spooky when we arrived. Plenty of mist and mangroves.
Katsumar spotted this first. His eagle eye struck again. Very excited to find a blank log.
Thanks for the South American bead. We left a frog behind. Pretty sure he would love this spot.
Nice cache, beaverfox.
