Had a really good look for this one and did not find. Looks like it is no longer there. Can the owner please check.
The image spoken of in the details and the hint has been deleted. I reckon the "guardian" could have been one of two items. I spent 15 minutes checking them out. But trying to find a micro cache amongst all that leaf litter and insect/animal holes was literally like trying to find the proverbial needle in the haystack. So I gave up.
Had a quick look around after walking up here with a cousin.
Found where I felt it should be according to the photos, but just couldn't get the cache this time. Admittedly, we didn't look for long.
Very beautiful area here.
Thanks for the cache!

We DNF'd 2 caches today.

[red]We spent quite some time here at around 2:49:00 PM, but we couldn't locate your cache.
we found the spot exactly like the spoiler pic, but there was nothing in or behind the hole, nor around the base.

Satellite coverage was terrible today! They all seemed to allude me behind the tress and hills. A game of hide and seek perhaps. "peek-a-boo!"
I would never have found this cache without the previous logs and photo. Even then it took at lot of determination, thought and mozzie repellant. Cache log was very wet.

We were enjoying a days caching with Walter and Ingrid when we stopped by on the way home to have a look for this cache. We noted that the coordinates had been adjusted which was very helpful.
Plenty of cars in the carpark and people enjoying the cool water.
Had to scout about on a few levels before we found this treasure. We took nothing and left nothing.
Thanks Rummaging Remins for maintaining this cache.

Found today with CO while he performed required maintenance. Tricky hide in a really beautiful location. Thanks R_R : )
This one appears to be muggled 
Searched all the likely spots and spoke to the CO who has given permission to log this find. Found the stick which is that from the FTF log... evidence enough? Hopefully this is the case or otherwise I'm going to look pretty silly. Thank you bringing me here

GPS still wanted me to scour the bank 25 meters away but after talking to R R I ignored the GPS and used the photo

A very early morning walk is the nicest to approach this hide. However, because of the recent rain the water had risen and the slippery rock surfaces made it a real challenge to get to the spot to look for. Anyway, I made it after almost some unwanted falls into the fast flowing water.
Thank you Bluejackal, for choosing such a nice spot!

FTF at 13:30
Decided to take the hard route for a bit of exercise. Best bet is to take the path to make it a quicker run. Arrived at the GZ to find some locals having some fun. I wasn't coming this far for a dnf so I introduced them to the concept of geocaching. They were quite intrigued and as I was describing it young Blake aske if what he had in his hand was it. I could not believe it, he actually found it. Lol. So my FTF with assistance.
Great spot coming back with the geokids for a dip. Thanks Blue for this great hide. Fav from me
