Good Day,
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 a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.
Looking forward to hearing from you,

#2925 A very quick find, as the cache was in plain sight, on the ground. I placed it just under the tree with some leaves as coverage. TFBMH.
Found it during a night time caching adventure. Out in the middle of nowhere so covered it with some natural cam. TFTC.
Found with nissan 65. Here in Canberra for a few days caching. Thanks for the cache
Found 16:36 7/1/18 after visiting a nearby game shop. Thank you gecko1968 for the cache.
Found with Trodectus on a rainy day as I was heading back to Sydney. Arrived GZ and had parked very close to the cache. Once retrieved, log signed and returned. TFTC
Found with Coybear2000. As it was raining this morning we were hoping for a simple park and grab and this one did not disappoint. As luck would have it we parked at GZ and soon had CIH. TFTC.
Had to find s cache today as it is my 5th year cacheaversary. This was one of the closest left to home and an easy pick up on a busy day. TFTC and thanks to all for the great time I have had over the last 5 years
While I didn't have any kiddies at any play places (been there often enough in the past) I was nearby with a few spare minutes so... Nice easy find, especially with the clear hint. TFTC

Filling in a couple of hours before bookfair starts. Neat hide and good clue. Tftc!
Out and about with my besty, Happy Uke, again today. We were out to catch a whole swag of caches and brag about it to all and sundry.
We had been visiting friends in Canberra and were gradually treking our way north in the direction of home.
Thanks!

Finalf29 and I were on our way home today, but after such a late night catching up with friends...we didn't get going until midday. I had planned a northern raid of Canberra caches... but my tablet had other ideas... so a quick change of plans. Got twelve (we did waste a lot of time on a DNF) before it started to rain, so gave up and set off home. Really enjoyed the caches and company... we cache for fun not numbers. With so many caches we definitely will return soon.
This was our fourth for the arvo. At GZ that is one sad little tree, but finalf29 says it has potential. Thanks

I feel like cheating because some worker suddenly told me where to find the cache! ) But I found it anyway TFTC

I needed to drop some books off at Lifeline in Mitchell so took advantage of the journey to nab some geocaches in the area which I otherwise rarely visit. The cache was quickly found although the guardian tree was not of the size I expected. Thank you gecko1968 for installing and maintaining this cache.
We decided to collect a few suburban caches today, so we took The Woofer and Saf's bike, and spent a few hours doing just that! Found 20 of 20 and covered almost 20km. Nice!
A very quick find. TFTC!

The geohubby was up for a little outing on a hot day so we thought we'd do a Mitchell run. Found easily thanks to the hint. My gps was out a bit. Tftc!!!
It's not so much filling in time as running out of time for me - I have errands to run but need a few caches to keep my objective of 1000 caches before the end of the year within reach! Happily this was a simply park and grab with no muggles about. TFTC, Gecko1968
So based on the clue I walked up to gz but found nothing. Coords took me a little further away where I found the cache in plain view. Took cache back to car to sign then put back where I think it should be. Will send photos to co.
An absolute walk-up! I had to wait fro customers of the nearby hire company to return their vehicles, otherwise a very easy find. TFTC
Found at 1107. This is our last day in Canberra, we leave tomorrow morning. I hope that when we come back for a visit the weather is a little better. Found just laying on the ground right where the GPS and hint said it should be. I suppose it appears to be another bit of litter. TFTC.
Thursday 8 December 2016 - a damp Summer's evening in the mid teens probably too wet for geocaching but better than sitting down not exercising. Found 6 from 8 caches with the rain and dark making it more difficult to find anything too quickly. Thx MuggleSon. TFTC gecko1968.
A great excuse to enjoy the Saturday sunshine. Easy find by the 5 year old geokid. Tftc
F(H)ound It! #1539 - @6:10:36 PM
After a dull day at work I had a lovely afternoon wandering this area. I parked over by the cemetery and walked around Mitchell grabbed a couple of trads and a multi with the Ridgeo-pup in tow. A quick find at GZ and the contents are remarkably dry (given all the recent rain we've had) Thanks for the cache, gecko1968.

TFTC. After dnf on a Fore! Cache this one was on the way back to our camp at Epic. Had me beat for a while as I could not find anything to match the hint. Stepped back and found a match. Nobody about onSaturday afternoon.
Quiet when was in the area so made for an easy find. Wasn't sure which of the 2 logs to sign as both seem to be getting used but all good!
TFTC.

Not out this side of town very often so decided to pick up a cache as we pasted through. Quick easy find TFTC
3:30pm 6/9 - we went to do this cache one weekend (almost a year ago!) to find that it had been disabled just prior. Good to see that it's back and we can turn it into a smiley. An easy grab for the tadpoles. TFTC gecko1968
On a break from a training course in the area.
Previous logs helped to locate.

I wasn't filling in time - I needed a daily find (I think this was 120th day in a row - way longer than I thought I would keep a streak going
... so I decided to find a couple of caches in Mitchell on my way home, after having dashed from work to EPIC to help hang the last of the quilts for the Canberra Quilters exhibition
Good thing this one had been replaced recently, and good that I found it - because the only other one I had not already found around here seems to be missing (or VERY well hidden). Maybe the muggles are bad in this area? I am sure there used to be a few more caches around here, and I notice the person who found this a couple days after me (and logged sooner found it out in the open ... not how I left it! ... and it was too dark at GZ for anyone to have been watching without me seeing them nearby, and seen me find it.
TFTC - took a few minutes of wandering to find it, but could not spot any obvious spots with a cache in them ... read the hint and could not see anything that matched ... decided to widen my search and see if something matched in/around the garden bed over the road, and almost tripped over a small something that matched the hint before I got to the road - lol (and yes - there was the cache

Replaced today with a temp container until a more robust solution is found. Please byo pen
New cache expected in place this weekend. Thanks for your patience while we re think design after the loss of our tree
I tried to find this one today, but no luck. There looked to be a recent removal of a tree, and no trees matching the hint. Thinking this looked ominous, I checked the logs on the phone and found Tanso's entry, which seemed pretty clear that the cache was gone. As the owner hasn't logged on since July, I guess that this one isn't going to be replaced.
Was doing a nearby GA cache and got will and truely sprung luckily not by a muggle but by tansa(sorry if spelt wrong) she mentioned I was in the wrong spot and have me a hint to this one. Not the one I was after but not one to look a gift horse in the mouth I signed the log anyway and claimed an unexpected smiley. TFTC gecko1968
Found it on the second attempt! And it is tiny and had fallen on to the ground.
Log filled in and I put it back
TFTC!

Nice easy cache on a Sunday afternoon. TFTC TNLNSL found with Scruffyblake, Charli-Bear & Me-To
Cool . Quickly found while waiting for the rest of the party to turn up. Thanks for the distraction.
Me and my friend russled through the bushes braved the baby spiders no but overall easy find
Nice little cache tucked in where I wouldn't expect. Found with JetFuselage TFTC
Option clean the house whilst the males of the family slept or played on their computers or sneak out and have some fun caching. Yay caching it is. TFTC.
Passing by on my way home and thought I would pop in for a quick cache. Parked up at gz and a nice quick grab
