Logs
As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been longer than 28 days since the last reviewer note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 28 days), just contact us (by email) once the cache is in place, and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.
I am 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 28 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 page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Needs a look at being archived, CO hasn't monitored this in ages, has 10+ DNFs now.
This was our 4th attempt to find this one, but still no luck. We happened to stumble across a spoiler for this on the internet, so we were pretty sure we would find it this time, but the cache didn't seem to be there....
Out with Mattycat for a few caches, our second DNF for the day searched high and low no luck for us today till next visit TFTC
No dice with this one. GPS all ove the shot too. It insisted the cache was in the car.
After a long hard search and digging through leaves climbing through bushes couldn't find it

CP & I have hit a few dead ends today, so no joy for us. Thanks for the hide Ziggy.
Found with 2011*turtle. We had looked for this some time before but without success. Today it was out in the open. We signed the log - which took us longer to rewind than it had taken to spot the cache - and then placed it near where we had found it. TFTC
Found It!
This one took me quite a while to spot. Needless to say the slide got a good inspection. Luckily there were no kids around...

Sneaky one, popped in to hunt this one down on way home from work, after reading a few Dnfs over time this one looked like a bit of a challenge. After reading some logs we had a few pointers...... Still hunted and thought we should be elsewhere but found the little bugger quiet quickly. Just as well cos any adult hanging around a playground looks dodgy these days.
Thanks Ziggy58 for the cache, the hunt and a little play on the slippery dip.
BTW, the log is very neat and tidy.

Nice little hiding spot. Certainly paid dividends having a wander round as you have to approach from the right direction. Tidied up the log sheets as they were a little squashed. Tftc.
Nice little spot to be as the sun is going down, sneaky spot for a cache too! I managed to find the sneakily hidden cache after a quick search thank goodness! TFTC!
This time, although didn't find in the first place I looked, I wondered why I had trouble last time. Good hide however. Thanks Ziggy58.
Continuing on my way this one was next. Took note of the hint and was amazed when the first place I poked revealed a cache. How cool is that. [^] [^]
Thanks for the cache Ziggy58.

Nice open park for the children. Clever hide, 5 out of 5 Ziggy58 caches this morning.
I looked for one cache too many today. How do I know? Because it was the last one for the day I couldn't find and this was it. Grrrrr It was a lovely spot to be looking though so thanks for bringing me here.
Out for a morning's caching with White Dog Gang.
We did a quick tour of the Flagstaff Hill area. We only had one dnf and 14 finds.
Thanks to all who placed caches.
Cool hide.

Encouraged by the recent finds after we previously failed to find this one, we headed out today to have another look. Unfortunately we still couldn't locate the cache after another good look around
Found in the last place I looked which was also the first place I looked and the cache only showed itself following several scratchings in the hole. It was the Hail Mary scratch that produced the goods, I was about to walk away from here. I even resorted to PAFing to check the cache location, initially that lead me further astray! I managed to look in a number of different places between the first and last look.
Once the cache was in hand I pulled the log out which was a big mistake as it took me ages to get it back into the cache. Eventually the right piece of paper was found and signed and the cache replaced.
Thanks for the cache Ziggy.

Found after a bit of a search while in the area. Thanks for the cache Ziggy58!
I don't think the difficulty needs to go up.
As stated in my log the gpsr wanted us at the big rock with glass in and around it. This rock is about 5m where we found the cache! Therefore, IMHO, the statement on FB that coords are spot on is a bit presumptious given cachers are going to the rock 5m from the cache.
Just saying....

Don't think two grown men should be hanging around here that long. Actually were texted.
Clear skies to Ziggy58 from TeamAstro.
Lucky for me as I had the park to myself because it took ages to find, but was in the first place that I had looked! [xx(]
Thanks Ziggy58 for the cache

The weather was finally a cooler today so we took the little one out for a stroll to the park. The GPSr had us looking at bare ground as GZ, and widening our search we saw the rock with the broken glass and a couple other possible hiding places, but couldn't locate the cache. We spent about 20 mins looking around, but couldn't come up with the goods. Thanks anyway for the hunt.
Found the large rock with the glass but couldn't find the cache a hint would be helpful.
Amazing what daylight can do!
Can't say I'm a big fan of hard-to-find-cache in or near playgrounds.
It causes finders to suspiciously loiter for too long.
Tree coverage may have affected us last night too, as we found it about 5m from where gpsr wanted us. Stay clear of the big rock as it has broken glass in, under and around it.
Nice park and signed a virgin logsheet. (Stapling the pages may help them not go everywhere when the lid is opened.)
Chop chop Tiger. lol
Dropped my FTF geocoin through for a visit..
Thanks

Ahhh shoot, forgot to say about the glass! Grats on the FTF but now in in new job I should hopefully become a pain for you again.
Mr Tardis came by today with Mini Tardis. Mini Tardis provided some cover by playing on the playground so Mr Tardis wasn't alone looking dodgy near a children's playground. This is a nice park and Mini Tardis loved the slide.
Mr Tardis searched and searched and didn't find anything. Then Mini Tardis helped with the search and he didn't find anything either. Eventually Mr Tardis found the container in a place that he'd searched before - but it must have been a boy's look because the cache was hiding there all long.
Silver place for us. Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Ziggy58.

Called past on 2 wheels in the dark with a couple playing with their dogs about 30 metres from GZ, had a quick look but decided to come back in daylight hours being only a couple of kms from home, thanks the hint didn't help me at all tonight
Looked for a while but came up empty handed, not sure if because I'm out of practice or is gone but will have to come back sometime.
