Hasn't been found since early 2016 and not being repaired so it might be time to archive it.
This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.
Disabled until we fix it....Sorry about taking so long, we have just started playing again
I thought about making this a Needs Archived log, but since it looks like the CO is still playing, it'll be another NM.
Could the owner please check if this cache is still in place or else Archive it? Many thanks.

We have been there twice now and haven't found it. There is a lot of weeds covering the undergrowth making the ground difficult to see and hard to get around the area. The area shows a lot of evidence of youths playing silly buggers in the zone. Maybe it is there, maybe it is not - but hard to get around and see.
Been almost a year since someone found this cache.. should be done something by now?!
After speaking to previous finders and knowing what to look for I think its pretty safe to say this one is missing, urgently needs maintenance there has been trees chopped down in this area
No luck here today, kids have built a cubby nearby so maybe they have discovered the cache.
Found a fort with a dr pepper can and a suspicious tree stump with rocks and sticks inside, but no cache today...
10/7/16 Out caching with Marina25 today. Look all around but no luck today. TFTH TeamRidley
Searched a long time even outside the coords and after rereading logs called it DNF
Took geograndies to hunt but had no luck could it be checked please as the last log was 4 months ago!! There seems to have been trees removed etc! Thank you anyway!
Found this remsjw, jemillalucy and bennyboppers today. A pen on the ground gave it away. tftc
Some of the Tough Mothers out today spotted a lead to finding master Barbour in his hideout.
Found it lying on the ground. A little damp but still usable. Place back where I imagine it could have been - up off the ground & out of sight. TFTC
After a bit of tromping in the wrong spot due to bouncy tracking on GPS, we made the grab. Log was damp but signable
Out with the CT crew doing night caches (chasing tinter crew) I was the one that found it. thanks for the cache
Nice easy find by Mr Showcase who zeroed straight onto it. Out with the CT Crew for an adventure night of caching. TFTC Team Ridley!!!
This was a lucky quick find as I happened to be in the right spot and look the right way to see the hide. TNLNSL TFTC
My phone is bouncing around a little today, but after a poke around, found it nice and easy. Now, where are the million pens I usually have in my bag. Luckily the car isn't too far away so had to run back to sign the log. Tfth
Tftc. I go walking through here regularly. Left two pretty hair clips for next cacher
Smilie #2462
Headed over the bridge into 'Northside' country to steal a few smilies.
A quick find, great co-ords.
Removed the log & straightened it out, signed, placed in the baggie & returned to it's hide.
The log was found screwed up & stuffed into the bottom of the container with the baggie pushed in on top of it.
Future finders please treat the cache with respect.

Not sure why the container size is listed as "?", but I was looking for something different than what I found. In the end it was a quick and easy find. May I suggest changing cache size to "small"? TFTC TR
#6 of 16. Today I attempted the unique difficulty terrain challenge. I did not complete the challenge but i did find this great cache.
Today was also a good chance to help fill my fizzy grid and I generally had fun. Thanks for this cache. Recovered and returned.

Our first cache found on premium. (The closest one to home). My Iphone compass was jumping all over the place but it eventually settled down and led us to the right area. The previous comments definitely helped, although being tall I looked a bit lower than shoulder height.
Cute little hiding place! Was a struggle to find. But after reading the logs!
1549 - A cache that has been in place for 20 months that is only 1.5 kms from home base. Why has it taken so long for me to come and get you? What a good excuse to drop by this evening and make this a smiley. Found in good condition after a good search of the area at 7:57pm. Thanks for the well hidden cache TeamRidley.
I was in the area today to visit the nearby Tafe so of course I had to do a few caches nearby to make the trip worthwhile 
.
I got a lot of gps bounce here, probably because it's under so many trees. I eventually found the cache thanks to a hint in a previous log. Nice hide.

Quick find on afternoon walk in the area with jill_cycle, omaser & Toby the dog. Quick find & lucky due to the amount o mozzies! TFTC
Found with aerial_tennille, jillcycle and toby the dog. Sooo many mozzies. Yowser. Had to get in and get out fast.
My three month Brisbane adventure is continuing. I'm 10 days into the second month of it.
In the lead up to Christmas, I haven't been doing many caches. Mum and I went to my brother's for the festivities, and I did only enough caches to keep my run going. We came home yesterday in the rain, and today it's raining again. The poor GeoSchnauzers haven't had a decent walk since the 23rd December. So today, despite the rain, we're going walking and caching. I decided on the Sandgate area to fill in a few misses, and check the opening hours of a bulk butcher. I further decided that Australia wasn't going to get any Indian wickets while I was watching, so I decided to give the boys a go, and listen to it on the radio between caches.
No 5 of 8 today. Thanks, TeamRidley. I made it 6 metres from notional GZ, no problem with your coordinates - they are well within allowed limits. Good hide. The mossies had a go at me. Mossies 1; Me 8. The GeoSchnauzers liked the little park.

A longer search than I had hoped for, started to widen my search considering there were reports of coords being off. Alas the prize was pretty much spot on where GPSr said it would be, and as described. Still has that fruity smell to give you your b b bounce. Tftc
Even though it was raining this morning, the sun eventually came out,
so we headed out to find a few caches.
Good hide, but took a few minutes to find. Cache in good condition.
Many thanks for placing this cache, TeamRidley, for us and others to find.

Took a bit of hunting due to the "changed environment" but eventually located it. Thanks guys. Nice work.
This is the first DNF when I first started geocaching. With a bit of experience under the belt, finally found it!!! The neighbours must have been sus seeing me hanging around the park. Thanks teamridley for the cache.
Very happy to have finally found this one on my 4th try! Had some issues with GPS as others have mentioned but reading comments helped. Thanks!
Well, there was a bug that I did not like, and Daddy did not see it. He doesn't believe that I saw it, but I really did. It looked like a grasshopper, but it was not a grasshopper, I'm sure of it. We thought it was in a place that it wasn't. And we phoned another cacher, he told us a little bit about where it was. Finally we found it. Thank you for the cache.
Find #1179 at 13:36 with MissGeosie and MissSuzie. This took way longer than it should have and I eventually resorted to a PAF. The GPS had me closer to another likely feature which distracted me somewhat.
Thanks for the cache, TeamRidley.
Thanks for the cache, TeamRidley.
We've recently returned to Brissie after 30 years interstate. Forgot all about cobblers pegs - till today! Hubby absolutely hates them - he seems to attract them and what a fuss he makes. We spent some time looking nearby each thinking the other had looked at what turned out to be GZ. I'd avoided the area because of some bees so warning to bee-allergic people. Sometimes you just have to look from the right angle to find the cache.
Beautiful Easter Sunday, took a little while as the coordinates were jumping around. Put my cache hat on thought out of the square and bingo cache in hand. Tftc
It looked so obvious. Complete with camouflage. Sadly the cache wasn't in this spot. GPS was telling us we were at GZ, but they can play up at times. It did look like this spot had been muggled and camouflage set up as a joke, we did not replace camouflage. Just letting you know there could be a problem - or we could be blind.
after a couple of DNFs I thought I should check it out....All is good with this cache, still in the same spot.
We are visiting from the USA and this park is just around the corner from my parents house. I thought it would be fun to introduce Dad to geocaching but we just could not find this one. Must be really well hidden. We'll have to take another look before we fly home.
This one took a bit of finding. Again my phone kept ringing so I couldn't get accurate information off my phone. But I did eventually find a very well hidden cache.
Thanks TeamRidley for the cache
