This cache needs maintenance,
No container can be located at the posted co-ordinates and with multiple Did Not Find logs, I would presume that the cache is missing or muggled.
I suggest this cache is either repaired/replaced, disabled or archived.
Thank you

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.
Even without the NM log, the cache owner has not responded to both previous NA logs.
The cache owners last visit was "Friday, 30 January 2015", which is considered to be inactive and non-responsive.
The cache should be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

I went out with Brooka13 and he had already found it and it wasn't there. It either needs to be replaced or archived
Found in February. Only just remembered to log cause Mizcupcake and i were comparing finds and the finds we've done together
Hmm, too many bees in the shrubs for me but the cousin had a look and couldn't find the cache. Oh well TFTC.
Did not find it.
The gizmo put GZ at the junction of the two roads. The nearest logical hiding place was thoroughly searched. With out results. The area looks like a large animal has camped there or it has become a children's cubby house. I'm pretty sure it's gone.

Last one for the day, found with Snickersallan. Cached was very exposed and co-ords where about 10 meters out
Found on a trip to Nowra and surrounds with Steeba and The Rats. When The Rats suggested a day trip to the area, none of us could say no, there are quite a few caches that have popped up around here of late. We had a great day driving around collecting some fantastic caches.
A quick find here and then on to the next.
Cheers

I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate 15 years caching than with a few friends enjoying the game I love. Today I headed south with steeba and Hoojar as we endeavoured to find some caches in the Nowra district.
After finding this one i can see how the name fits now. We started to complicate it by looking in the wrong spot soon had it in hand.
Thanks

Cache in need of some TLC - ants have made a nest in it and it is full of all sorts of bugs. Still reasonably dry after all the recent rain.
Not sure if recent council works in the park have removed it but could not find it this morning.
Quick find. Container was full of ants making it difficult to sign the log but with a quick shake and dance we were on our way. TFTC
Gps a little off but a quick find. Interesting park filled with some historical things. Tftc
Taking a break from the show and checking out the area. nosey neighbour needed watching but managed to retrieve sign and return without being observed. Tftc
Out for Day of Caching with The Klack.
5th for the day 13:35.
A great park to visit in SHH.
TFTC and history lesson.

Found with bkj97 out in the open and uncovered. Left a little more secure. T4TCSL
We finally found this after 3 attempts and being muggled. "Have you lost something dear". Managed to brush off muggles and returned when littlest geokid made the find.
We have been holidaying in the area for over 2 decades and started caching last year. We're keen to get to our haven to find the local caches. Made a trade and look forward to coming back. TFTC

6 of 7 found with the geodaughter on a short trip down the coast...quick grab...TFTC!
Der Hinweis half uns bei der Suche entscheidend. Da die Dose mit Ameisen gefüllt war, dachten wir kurz über ein Fotolog nach, loggten dann aber doch beherzt.
First it took us a little bit longer to find the box. And than the box was full of ants. Tftc #3768
188.... Merry Christmas! !!!! A nice early morning Christmas stroll'n'cache with the neice. TFTC
Wow, what a great box TFTC guys. Great day at the beach and a cache on the way home. Cheers guys
After dropping Geoson at school I had a beautiful full day of spring geocaching ahead of me as I ambled down to Nowra for the Waratah 2014 GWSR Venturer Scout weekend.
Sometimes I make things harder than they need to be. Found after a bit of a hunt for something more complex.

Running short of time, so thought this might be a quickie and it was. BUT ... having read the previous logs and being wary of ants and maggots handled the container too gently causing an upset and EVERYTHING went EVERYWHERE!!!!!! Oh dear, sometimes slow and steady wins out. Anyhow no nasties evident so foodstuffs obviously eaten clean away. SL, TNLN, TFTC Will&Gary
Cache overrun by ants and maggots!! Maybe someone left food?? Needs to be cleared out and possibly replaced
A nice quick find as we headed down the coast today. A dead blue tongue lizard near our parking spot [xx(]. TFTC!
Shane, Ang , braith, Nate, Savannah Green from the town that build Sydney found it and had a great time.
Straight to the cache and quickly found and logged. Used the .055 .660 coordinates
This was our second attempt at this GC and because the bushes were cut back it was so much easier.
Found this one fairly quickly after reading clues and as I grabbed the cache it rained. So carried it back to the car and geowife opened it. Ants everywhere. I was ordered out of the car with the cashe. Log was signed on the table under an umbrella with ants running all over the place. Need less to say the container is not sealed. Maybe think about another type. TFTC and a bit of fun.
We started our extended weekend trip from Cherrybrook. Our first stop was at Lake Illawarra. After, we made our way to beautiful Jervis Bay. Here I was surprised with a beautiful whale watching cruise where we saw many dolphins and seals.
After watching the amazing marine life, we continued our way to Batemans Bay where we stopped at many beaches and many nice locations.
The highlight of our tour was waiting for us in Durras where we got to cuddle with tame wild kangaroos. An amazing experience.
Here we also found a cache.
Thank you

I looked briefly late yesterday for this, but it was just too dark. This morning I spotted it straightaway. Despite the heavy rain this week the container was dry inside so it should last a while longer. Thanks for the hide.
Heading back to Sydney after an overnight work trip called into Shoalhaven Heads for lunch. The last 2 DNFs weren't encouraging and I tried the couple of different coordinates supplied but that wasn't helping either. Looking in one spot I turned around and spotted it peeking out from under the leaves. Not sure how long term this will last if there is a bit of rain as it isn't exactly waterproof and seems to have got a bit bent at one stage, so it might need a new container sometime.
With only the iPhone I won't suggest new coords, I can suggest standing in the middle of the 4 wattle bushes and looking around you to find it. Thanks Will&Gary Angus.

Geoson NationalSteel and I joined forces today to attempt the 6 cache types needed for "The Seven Souvenirs of August" The plan was to meet at RockHopper's event at South Nowra and then go to get a Letterbox Hybrid, a Mystery cache, an Earthcache and a multi, plus whatever traditionals we could pick up on the way.
NationalSteel needed a traditional and we spotted this one close to the arboretum. The co-ordinates were a bit out but NationalSteel saw a flash of colour, which turned out to be the cache.
The cache was in good condition. I took nothing and left nothing.
Thanks Will&Gary Angus for the cache.

Visited here with Gill & Tony as part of our mission to earn the "7 Souvenirs of August" in one day. This one was a little bit of a gamble given the two previous DNFs, but we were feeling more confident about our mission having ticked off several types of caches already. So, once at GZ I tried a bit of poking around as per the hint and the cache soon revealed itself. Nice little memorial park here. TFTC!
I could not find this geo cache and by the sounds if it it shouldn't have been hard we spent half an hour looking but could not find better luck next time
Tried so hard to find this one but no luck this time. Will come back another time.
Used the coords in a previous log and found the cache easily.

Came to the Heads for a golfing week-end. Had a little spare time today so....caches here I come. Poked around for quite a while till I found it. TFTC Will&Gary Angus
Came down here for soccer had a few minutes so grabbed a quick cache thanks
Dropped in here on my way back from a coastal walk around Kiama today. This time I made sure I had Tuena's co-ords with me & that made for a quick find. SL TFTC
This cache was literally sitting out in the open when I found it earlier today. Might be best for the CO to take a look. I attempted to hide it better than found, but I am hoping there is a better spot for it than where I left it.
Glad to see some wreaths nearby after Anzac Day. Cheers.

Lots of muggles around today. Nice park. Co ordinates a little off but still found it. TFTC
Found with thanks to tuena's coordinates. . Took a little searching for as fairly well hidden.
Left a star to shine on the memories if those who have served our country.

Looked in all the spots I thought a regular cache would fit with no luck. Wish I'd had Tuena's co-ords with me !
Found with Tuena's coordinates; suggest the owner updates the listed coordinates. A great spot for a cache. Thanks for the cache Will&Gary Angus
Rated: for Overall Experience
Taking the alternative route to Nowra today, this was only a short detour! Had seen this park before and tought it deserved a cache, now it does.
