I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

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,

This cache seems to be creating a problem within the caching community. The owner is long gone. I personally think it should be archived in order to give someone within the community opportunity to place another cache here and have control over it.

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

Maybe next time

Not sure where else it could be

Looked and looked but didn’t find it

Seems a bit harder than a 1.5. Looked in lots of high places but obviously not the right one.

Hopefully next time.

Out again to day in Bowral to collect some GCA trig caches and GC traditional caches.

Thanks to all the cache owners.

Unfortunately couldn't find this one. Not tall enough to look where I thought it would be. Maybe I'll be back some day.

Woohoo!! First geocache. Exciting! Kids are hooked.

Ok too find if you are tall.

Found with 63Roos.. thanks

Enjoyed day on geo around of towns..
Took us a while, something feel on hand, got it, sign the log with ALL7..TFTC.

TaurusSix and I looked all around, but could not find a cache.

We spent a bit of time today collecting just a few caches around the Southern Highlands area. This one was found in a muggle free area. It would have been a 1.5 terrain if we were taller, but we needed a bit pf assistance to reach it. Log was signed and the container was replaced as it was found. Thanks go to TheElephantz for this cache placement.

Found with Justjessie on an impromptu caching weekend. TFTC.

Found with O319 TFTC!

(2 of 12 today)

Almost at the end of completing my streak for *Tomorrow will be a different challenge* (GC59F90). But I still need a sixth different cache type. I'm also after at least three finds today towards my goal of ten finds per calendar day by the end of 2019.

Well, if I return to Mittagong there are plenty of caches still to find and there's a *Letterbox* to get that last cache type. Looks like my day is all planned out.

Found 12 with a DNF and a DNAttempt, including the Letterbox and a 5/5 Challenge. Top day.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Parked close and walked to GZ. Initialy went too far but soon corrected and spotted the blighter.

Completed signing duties and replaced.
Off to the next one.

Sadly we couldn’t find the geocache. But lovely spot to walk around looking.

Done and dusted

Very nice

Logging a handful of caches in the Southern Highlands!
Thanks for the caches.

Quite difficult to spot and reach but managed it with help from previous logs. TFTC

Yippee! Second time lucky. Thanks for all the comments. Couldn’t have found it without them.
No trackable here though!

Tftc ..coords a little of but found easily

Found after a few minutes. Some litterbug hid a half empty can of soft drink up there also which spilt on my kids. Nice. Thanks for the cache!!

Couldn’t see ‘bricks’ anywhere. Plenty of ‘stone’ buildings? But we are complete newbies with a 4 yr old and short attention span so didn’t have the stamina to be thorough

Pretty

Where Is It!!! We spent 20 minutes looking but We can’t find it

It’s not anywhere to be found

Found it.

Mr Jennymarj has 4/4 today. I’m still looking at my gos saying. “ it’s around here somewhere!! TFTC.

Hi, I'm the owner of the trackable Signal the Frog Travel Tag https://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=6427769 which was placed here on the 19 Aug 2017.
Can the next finder or owner of the cache please check if the trackable is still in the cache?
It hasn't moved for a long time, would appreciate if someone can kindly confirm if it's still there or gone.
Thanks,
E(:

Clue seems inappropriate. TFTC

Fun find.
Vertically challenged? I am. Made human totem pole of my children so i could reach.

Easy find... had to wait for the bus load of muggles to leave before searching. May be useful to carry a step ladder for those vertically challenged people. (: TFTC

I think someone other than CO has done some maintenance on this cache. It appears to be different. Hhhmm.

Found it, went back with a three step ladder to reach it, not for the vertically challenged.
Attaching photo of the new cache size.

Hmm..found but unfortunately being vertically challenged.. had to sing...."James,James hold the ladder steady....

Did not find but found the syringe and removed it. Will drop it off in The Market Place sharps bin.

Took us a while! I would echo some of the other comments that looking "deep" no longer applies. It is not in a clear plastic container and too small for tradables. Good luck and have fun!

Nice quick and easy find.

I was curious about this cache so I revisited it today. Its actually still there

I agree. I don't think it's there any more.

This cache should be archived as the CO is no longer caching and the cache appears to be MIA

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

We couldn’t find it... careful of the tones of broken glass and syringe.

I didnt get this one, something about bricks. I couldnt find them on a misty afternoon.

.

Found

We've stayed at one of the cabins in town after this beautiful 6h walk. We've finished the crow geoart early afternoon.
We've then went for a wander around the Mount Gibraltar lookout where we've informed ourselves about the geological features of the area.
We've found the occasional cache as well.

Thank you for the cache

A quick find for this evening after hubby got home

Found successfully but had a huntsman spider right next to it

Found successfully, didn't log it in the cache as there was a huntsman over it

Found! Pretty hard to find haha

Found

You can

Lovely spot for a visit. No luck in finding the cache today. Found the syringe though. cheers.

Think outside the box! This cache is no longer consistent with the description provided - the cache is here and we're very happy we found it after a thorough search, but the cache is not a plastic container anymore and is too small for trackables

Rhainedrop and I found the cache after a bit of a struggle. Description of cache and hiding place have certainly changed since the original cache.
Don't just think deep as in the description, but get high.
Glad we found it and tftc

Beautiful location for a picnic TFTC!

Love the spot went for a wonderful walk around the mountain

Finally found this one with pinkih TFTC

Finally found with Keno7! Quick find once it was there. Just a warning for people to be mindful when searching as there was a used syringe in what could be a hiding spot. It had a cap on it but still a danger

Had a really good look in all the usual spots.
Might need a hint with this one if anyone can come forward with one.

Thanks Elephantz

I spent way too long looking for the cache I could see in the photos. Things have changed. Lucky I persisted. TFTC

Tftc

Decided a run north to the southern highlands was in need. Its a place i dont usually go caching and with still plenty of caches around ill need more trips back. With the spring weather in full effect how could one not resist a day of caching.

Most caches came thick and fast with a few taking a bit long at times. Took lots of photos of my adventures today. Thanks to all COs for their cache sharing today.

TFTC TNLN.

Knowing that I have to be tall to grab this cache I called in for reinforcements and after 30 minutes of me sitting on my friends shoulders we final found it. We forgot to bring a pen (Rookie mistake) and the pencil was blunt in the cache so my muggle friend decided to Rub the side of the pencil against the rock and BAM it was sharpened.

TFTC

We o ones low and high and low and high and then just before we were about to pack it in we spied it. Thank goodness!! We have had a run of bad geo luck lately so it was the find to reignite our hunting!

Tricky find, but got it in the end, with Dvixen & Tiger-monkey. TFTC.

Struggled with this one. Head not right after daughter's wedding last night.

Got it though and a nice spot.
TFTC

I found it this time.

It has possibly been recently replaced and re-positioned since the description was written. Seems to be a new log and container as well (its not a clear waterproof case anymore).

All the previous DNF'rs should have another look.

The 'look deep' bit doesn't really apply anymore. No need to go digging or reaching 'deep' into holes in the ground or in trees and stumps. There has been plenty of this digging already. It shows unfortunately.

No tradables in there at the moment.

TFTC.

Found with nissan 65 on a bloody cold morning while attending an event close by. Thankyou for the cache

Found with cullum68 on this freezing morning while attending an event thanks for the cache

Such s beautiful place. Wonderful place for an event. TFTC

At National Geocache day
Thanks
GhostReconAU

TFTC. Found it in the hands of others while at International Geocaching Day event. Signed DSD and BI.

GrimRaider and I were a little late to arrive at today's event so most had already found this one. With a little help from a taller cacher, we were able to make this find. Cache in good condition. TFTC

Day was freezing, hospitality very warm and a bonus picking up the cache at the same time good start to a holiday

Second visit to GZ following an earlier attempt this year resulted in a dnf… even with a paf guiding my “circling and searching” via the phone. Today as I arrived for the IGC Day Event at the same location, hoped there may be more pafs, this time in person, to finally tick this one off the list. Seems a few other people had the same idea with a fresh log being passed around a number of attendees before being replaced in one of the spots I had thoroughly inspected last time and was definitely empty on that occasion.

Joolay and I got up early this morning and take Banjo the little geohound for a little drive to Bowral to attend the 2017 International Geocaching Day event and thought we would pick up this cache while we were here. A great day meeting fellow geocachers having a yarn and then off finding caches. This was a tricky one but is wasn't long after a hint or tow that the cache was found and log book signed. A nice little picnic area that I haven't been to before. tftc TheElephantz

5 of us spent an hour here no chance of finding it.

Couldn't find shit

Followed the clues but no luck this time. Muggled?

What a lovely place to come, great picnic area.

Found

Appears to have been muggled. Would like to find this one so can the owner please replace or confirm its still in the right spot.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Took the wife and some friends to Bowral for the day for some spa stuff. While the girls were off doing that I introduced a mate to geocaching. Unfortunately this was the first one we came to and I hadn't checked logs. Looks like its gone.

Went back to look several times last week but still no luck.. I really believe it's not there.

Could the owner please check if it's still here. Lots of did not finds. I looked everywhere. It's not here.

DNF
Pinky and I both went after work yesterday to find but had no luck, tried again this afternoon we still couldn't find it.

Could not find

Tried, but no luck!!!!

No luck with this one. Think we found the obvious spot but was empty....

Looked hard but it alluded us!
