Searched and searched around GZ but did not find it. There is lots of overgrown vegetation so might just be we couldn't see it. Please let us know if it is still there and we will go and look again. Thankyou.

Hi AH,

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 45 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 listing and post a new note every 45 days 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.

DNF

not sure if it’s still there:(

Could not find not sure if its still there.

Is this CO still around? Many months since I’ve found a soggy mess, with plenty of likewise reports. I did claim to find it, even though what was found was a soppy mess. But the CO should attend to this cache please. I’m amazed HQ hasn’t archived it as they said they would to mine after just 3 DNFs . Thanks!

No joy for us today

Found the top of the mint container but no container found

needs maintenance, found a mint tin w no log

Did not find. Had a good look around but think this one is missing

Can't even see the rusty mint tin mentioned previously...

Ha after sharing we could not find we found tin with nothing in it...

Found a rusty eclipse mint container but no log so I think this might have been it but not sure. A few people have said it’s in bad shape so maybe this was it?

It’s in real bad shape

Unable to find this one

I think I found it.
The log, well what looks like a log is completely destroyed.

found it with my friend Lucas J for his first time geocaching

See previous log. TFTC

Good morning caching TFTC

It’s a mess, couldn’t sign anything , has to be replaced

Maintenance required desperately

Gave this a good 30 min look because I desperately wanted the whole series to be smileys, but sadly no luck here...

Needs maintenance

Maintenance needed

I can't say tftc because all it was is empty plastic bag under a rock. Left a small piece of paper signed. ️

Gidday, just thought I'd let you know this cache is desperately in need of maintenance. All that's left is a small zip bag with what looks like rotten paper. ️

TFTC

Found... I think followed the arranged rocks to some more arranged rocks. Either been muggled or in need of maintenance. Having fun

Find No.5230 while based in Kiama for a couple of days. We are on a mission to complete this SES puzzle art and a few other caches on our way.
Found with sesblocker. We logged as TN as the log is very wet.

Logbook too damaged to sign, picture taken instead.
TFTC

Out and about as the sun goes down! Here to visit a ‘Gong’ buddy and attend the MEGA Yippee Ditto log rather wet and tough to do much with. Sorry I have no replacement TFTC

LOVELY AREA

Found the cache and as previously described by other cachers this one needs urgent attention. The tin is rusty and the log sheets are very wet and soggy. I think my entry will be very hard to read on wet paper. TFTC

Found with my SES sisters. Unable to write on it.

Out with the SESsisters again. Found cache but log was soaked!!

Log soaked & mushy

Log soaked & mushy. Unable to sign. Photo evidence of find available

After a short search we found it!

Found with dad

After wandering around for a bit at the GZ i spotted a SPOR and had the CIH.
Unfortunately the log is completely soaked and needs to either be dried out or replaced.
I have to say though. The view of the lake from the nearby bench is beautiful.
Thanks.

A lovely walk that I wouldn't have done if it wasn't for this cache trail. Thanks for placing this cache here

This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 9491.

Found this one today just as the last light was fading. The phone took me past the cache but I quickly realised the errors of my ways and made a simple find.

Thanks AH for the cache.

Found by k.e-a_26. Easy enough to locate however being short doesnt really assist

Found with leslturn8. Arrived at GZ and noticed phone was bouncing around. Returned phone to pocket and used geoskills to locate cache. Signed and replaced. Knocking off a few along the LIPT, TFTC

Lovely Cool today.. Drive around to Wollongong and Shellhoubour... Stay friend's house for few days... Hide well.. Thanks

Good find

Easily spotted, a bit too easy so I relocated it ever so slightly to avoid casual detection. Great views of the lake

3 for the day loving the adventure thank you

Found it

Pirate Week
J & J

A few false alarms but then spotted it. Tftc

Our 100th find! Took 2 months.

Yay! Found another one

So, Halcyon123 and I had planned to get together with another work colleague and do responsible, organised, grownup worktype things. However, when the colleague messaged this morning to say she was sick and couldn't meet up, we decided that was the perfect excuse to call Happyuke and go geocaching instead!!! Had an awesome day with my lovely friends and even got to visit with Jenna the dog

Went wandering a bit too far originally but left no stone unturned and got it eventually! TFTC

A spur of the moment caching day with Nacki22 and Halcyon123...organised while we were all still in our pj's and I was personally still in bed. Wonderful day, perfect weather, great caches and as always, fantastic company. We found nineteen and I'm still smiling!

This was our fifteenth for the day. Nacki22 and I were close, but Halcyon123 rocked this one. Time to turn back. Thanks

Lots of rocks at GZ. Kept digging until we found the right cairn. Found on a geoday with Nacki22, HappyUke and geodog Jenna.

It was lovely day with my Daughter

Took me longer to find this one because i was looking further in from the path than i should have been. Once i expanded my search and looked at a rocky area closer to the path then the cache came by quickly.

Not too far off the path. Watch for ants! TFTC

TFTC

Had to wait for the dog walkers to go past before i could grab it not that far of the track

What a lovely spot to bring us to thanks

On a day caching with Diddyhonda from Germany, we tackled part of the LIPT and a few others along the western side of Lake Illawarra. So with our bikes we took off from Kanahooka Point. It was a stinking hot summers day of 34 dregrees, but we managed to find them all. A pleasant ride along the edge of the lake, taking in some nice scenery and enjoyable company.

This was #12 for the day. The rocks rock! Thanks to all the COs for putting these caches in place. A lovely place to visit.
