Fire Station - Baulkham Hills Baulkham Hills, New South Wales, Australia
By Blundo Buster Jnr on 29-Jul-13. Waypoint GC4HEVB

As there's been no cache to find for a long time, and it appears to have been abandoned, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.


Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache.

If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 30 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

No reaction by owner?

This one has been out of action for a year and a half now, it should be archived

Not there

Yeah think this ones gone

The tree and spaced used to house cache have been removed by the local council/government.

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

Given this cache has had 4 DNF over the last year, and the CO has not logged in since 27/Jul/2017, it could qualify for archiving, or at least disable the cache listing so it no longer shows on maps and in Pocket Queries.

We saw there hadn’t been a find here for over a year but , gluttons for punishment, we had a look anyway. Yep, nothing! But it was nice to see the fire station. Cheers… Gaztek

Didn't find

Didn’t quite achieve GZ, I don’t know what was wrong with my phone today. But there are only a few trees around so I didn’t think it essential. After looking around for a bit we couldn’t see anything obvious in regards to the clue.

Is it still here?

Couldn’t find it. A lot of branches were cut off. ️

We think it has been cut off all the branches that have been cut only look about 1 week old so we don’t think it’s here anymore

Found it log wet, so I put some paper I had in my pocket

Too wet to sign. Clever spot!

quick found

Needs replacing log is soaked.

Quick easy find. (Tip: don’t go in the rain )

Thanks

Great location. Quick and easy find this afternoon

Found it, unscrew, don't pull.

Great spot, good hiding place. Paper a bit damaged.

Thanks

This cache has been on my list for absolutely ages. I had loaded it into my GPSr months, if not years, ago, meaning to pick it up on a quick run. However, somehow I have always been elsewhere and have not done much about it. Today, cycling around the area, I saw it was on my route back home, so I made a concerted effort to come past here and pick it up.

I have to admit that my heart usually sinks when I see this sort of hide: there are just so many possibilities, and it usually takes a stroke of luck to spot the container. It doesn't mean that I don't look for these caches, or that I dislike them particularly; nope, only that they are generally quite daunting and often prove to be my nemesis.

Anyway, now that I was here I was going to give it a go. Fortunately, no muggles around to bother me with my search. It did take a few circles around the possible hiding places until something caught my eye. Great relief, because it could just as easily have become a blue frown on my map.

The log sheet was quickly signed and returned to the container. Then on to two or three other potential caches on my ride back home.

Found it in a minute

Parked in the fire station and brought one of the firemen with us to make the find. Log a bit wet but managed to sign. Tftc

Log is a little sad looking, managed to sign and replace as found. TFTC

Finally had the opportunity to get to this one today. My car was having its pink slip inspection at the servo, so I ducked across the road for this quick and easy find. The logs is quite damp, but I just managed to scribble on it. TFTC!

Quick park and grab with use of hint and cih
Thanks for the cache

Reasonably easy find

Great find. Found with some firies.

Tftc - easy find

Have driven past this one soooooo often (my Sister-In-Law lives down the road) and this time got the chance to stop.
Found it with a lot of leaf looking.

Parked at the servo and walked past the fire trucks in the dark to GZ. After a few minutes with the torch I had CIH. TFTC BB Jr!

TFTC. I am down from the Hunter Valley for a few days. Signed as T9. I didn’t hang around for long.

Located at 6:35pm. #801. After making my 800th find on a Letterbox Hybrid this evening up at Nelson, I was making my way back home and passed by this one. Parked nearby and walked over whereby I soon had CIH. Спасибо для кеша! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

Nice hanging hide

We have also found this cache during our Tour.

Thank you for the cache

Easy find. Thanks

I was on a mission today to return a TB to its owner now that it has completed its world travels and that meant coming through this way. A perfect opportunity to grab some caches on the way.

This was my second stop. It proved to be a very quick park and grab as I could see the cache as I approached. It is not a very good colour match for the surroundings any more, but I guess only cachers come to this spot anyway.

Signed the log and visited some TBs then headed off for the next cache where I would complete my mission!

A quick grab as I walked past after completing the Baulkham Hills Estate series

Thanks to Sicad69 for providing a dry log.

No firies spotted today

Glad to finally turn this into a smiley after driving past while works were going on. Log is soaked and like previous finders couldnt sign, so replaced with a page from notebook .
Please ensure cache is sealed again.
Thanks for the cache.

Previously logged under team account BoogieRogue. Re-logging with my individual account. Quick find but the logbook was wet. Could not sign. Also there are some maintenance going on at the area that by the looks of it did not affect the cache so far but who knows...

Day off, beautiful day, so time for some caching. Having completed the Balcombe Heights Estate series, I can't not attempt this one. Wish I had a replacement log though as it is too wet to sign. I will send you a photo. Thanks Core!

Headed home and collecting a few caches on the way, I drive past this one regularly and haven't had the time to stop. With daylight fading fast I was hoping for a quick find. I did have to use the light on my phone to look in the darker places.
I soon had the cache in hand. As I signed the log I noticed the last to find was my Geoson and his geofriend 4 weeks ago.
This is the second time I have found this type of cache container. Clever idea.

Cute one. TFTC

Thanls Blundo Buster Jn for this neat cache.

After a bike ride to the fire station stopped and looked for this cache. We got to GZ and after a brief search found the cache. The camouflage is worn away making it easy to spot. Clever hide. TNLNSL TFTC.

Found it fairly quickly. Damp log replaced with emergency one. TFTC

I love these type of caches, hiding in plain sight:) As the previous cacher mentioned, the log is Pulp. Unfortunately I didn't have a spare log with me. I made a pic instead of signing it.

Tftc

Log needs replacing:)

This cache was certainly waving in the breeze and there was no difficulty spotting it. On opening the container the log was found to be rather wet and could not be signed. This needs attention as the log needs to be replaced urgently. Thank you to Blundo Buster Jnr for a nice easy to find cache even though the area has many passing muggles in vehicles.

Enjoyable walk on a warm sunny day. There is no one around. Log is full. TFTC

Found easily. log is a bit crumbly, though

Found it! Took me a while but obvious when you realise! Great hiding place!

My first geocache. So much fun. A conker of a hide!

Needed another cache to keep the current streak running. Stopped by the side road and walked over to GZ. Once the GPSr had decided to settle, it was an easy find. The log is in a consistence more like pulp than paper.

Very exposed cache site with the traffic and nearby houses, I am glad it has survived thus far. Made it a quick grab to avoid excess attention. The log was very damp and starting to fill up. TFTC.

Nice quick find, first for the day, thanks for the cache

Nice

Found it on a sunny Easter Sunday while walking the dog in the area. I was glad there wasn't a lot of traffic out today, felt a bit suspicious hanging around there. A quick find though. TFTC
