I noticed that this cache has been temporarily disabled for a period of time well in excess of the period of "a few weeks" as contemplated by the cache guidelines published on Geocaching.com.

Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it (using the *archive listing* link in the upper right) so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location.

I looked and I thought I did contact the owner by posting a Needs Maintenance after eight other previously logged DNFs.
Did you actually go and have a look yourself Canary or just make assumptions again,you are good for requesting archives but how about you actually contact the cache owner instead of requesting straight out to be archived
Do not believe this cache is here anymore. Would the owner please check and advise. Beautiful spot though. Thank you for bring me here
No luck today - fairly certain I was in the right spot, but nada. Nice spot though 
Turned back for the bike after running around the path. A great view from here on a glorious day but the obvious place is empty. Thanks.
Haven't been to Clifton Gardens for zonks; there use to be an hotel here in days past. Thanks to the generous hint it was soon CIH. TFTC.
Found it but may want to be very careful
As a muggle warned us as they had just seen a black snake!

Misspalot's keen eyes spotted this one. The clue was a good one but I still missed it!
Raindoctor and I continue on a successful trail so far, the clue matched perfectly. Thanks for bringing us here
Found after a short search in the bush. Didn't have a pen so couldn't log. TNLNSL TFTC
This was the last of 5 caches I was going for on the North Shore. What a way to finish up my day. The weather was warm and there were many muggles about. Took the short stroll to HZ and found the cache out in the open. SL and popped it back into its hide hole. Wish I brought my swimmers! Cache# 440 TFTC
Today it's geocaching around Mosman.
Quick find for this one. The beach was the place for our lunch !

4/7/17 Did Not Find with AlphaDeltaIndigo.
I have been keeping an eye on Philma’s ‘Postcards to New Zealand.’ Multi Cache for a while now and, sadly, concerned its time may soon be up. As such, it has quickly bumped up to top spot on my priority list. AlphaDeltaIndigo was also keen to take advantage of the superb weather, so we drove over to Mosman with the target set in our sights. After taking the wrong track, which resulted in a dead end, we eventually discovered a way through and dealt with the overgrowth fairly easily. After we found the cache and took in the views, we made our way back to the car following the easier way out. Is not that always the case! Hopefully this cache can be salvaged before it gets archived, because it is a novel and fun idea that should be preserved. Thanks For The Multi Cache Philma and KiwiGary.
From there, we made our way over to ‘Clifton Gardens’ in Mosman. After, what we felt was, a rather thorough search around the trees that matched the hint, we unfortunately were unable to uncover a cache and had to concede a Did Not Find here today. #DNFpride
Continuing around the Mosman peninsula in search of caches neither of us had yet attempted, I chose ‘HPT1 - No More Diesel!’ to help me increase the number of Regular size finds for my UGC Challenge. At Headland Park, we parked the car at the lot on Georges Head Commonwealth Ave and joined the trailhead behind the residences. An easy find once we were in the right spot and an interesting cache container, which somewhat matches the relic of the past. Thanks For The Cache decentcachers and sydneyexplorer.
While we were there, we thought we may as well stop by ’HPT2 - Up the Steps’, which was a short walk away. It was very much a case of trial and error but persistence paid off, and we soon had the Cache In Hand. Thanks For The Cache decentcachers and sydneyexplorer.
After grabbing a late lunch at the shops in Mosman, we made one final stop before calling it a day, and swung past ’Under the Highway’ in Naremburn for another Regular sized cache. Leaving the car on Park Road, we joined the walking track under the highway and meandered our way towards the published co-ordinates. With limited GPS signal, we relied on our geo-senses for this one, and with some assistance of the hint, made a quick find. Feeling the cache was a little too exposed, we replaced with a piece of cammo over the top to ensure it blended into its surroundings better. Thanks For The Cache EvO1324.
I was not expecting to venture back out for any caches today but the frog started publishing just as peak hour traffic was ramping up. I noticed a new cache over in Woolwich, ’Goat Paddock’, and could not resist, seeing as though it was fairly close by. Traffic was not too bad on the way to the Hunters Hill / Woolwich peninsula and I found a spot to park right near the entrance to the trailhead. Someone was hot on my heels and I was quickly joined by a fellow cacher, one member of the Burkey Turkeys (nice to meet you!). Just as quickly as we had arrived at Ground Zero, we too had the Cache In Hand. We performed the signing duties and confirmed a joint First To Find. While we were chatting and taking in the beautiful views of Woolwich Dock and Sydney Harbour, we were accompanied by bella at waggy, who unfortunately was late to the party this time around. Thanks For The Cache rinsemesocks.
Having attended Equipe des fous’ funeral / thanksgiving service yesterday with bella at waggy, seeing ‘Goat Paddock’ dedicated to our geo-friend is a lovely touch by rinsemesocks. We will certainly miss Equipe des fous and all that he brought to the geocaching game.

Found this cache while out on a Sunday drive.
Great park location will have to come back with the family!

After a wet blustery brunch with family my geoson & I ducked off to find this one.
Found with the geo-son during a rather wet walk to Balmoral. Many thanks HappyPaintball
Lili made the find. I searched too deep. It is actually way more easier than I guessed. The log is really wet so I put a piece of paper inside. Thanks for the fun cache and the view is great too!
First cache of the day and a nice hike around from Taronga to middle head. Nice hide, caching assistant located the tricky container. Couldn't sign it's soaked. Have photos.
Another good find while driving / walking around the area today.
Thanks for the fun cache. SL

Nice to have a cache on this path, may still be there
if not for the good hint. TFTC
Log is wet.

It took me a little while to make sense of the scene I was looking at based on the hint, but eventually it made sense that it could only be in one place, I just need to search a little more thoroughly. Sensible hide. TFTC
A trip to North Sydney Harbour National Park from Bradley s Head to Georges Head with the Family, Betty, bambam had left at this stage.
Taylors Bay was looked lovely from above but was ful of broken glass so bad that it was unusable. So we went on to Clifton Gardens and did the cache.

After spending a couple of hours on the beach here today, we decided to have a go at finding this one. Even with the concise clue we struggled at first but realised there could be no other spot that fitted the description so looked again. Ah! There it is, how did we miss it?! Nice spot, TFTC.

Final cache for the day in beautiful Clifton Gardens. I never been here and I was actually expecting a garden, not a beach. With the hint the cache was found, at a good distance from the crowds, so muggle free. Then I continued my walk across the beach and lawn to the ice cream car for some well deserved ice cream!
Thanks for the cache!

Second cache on a fabulous coastwalk .... looking after all the places where I was 9 years ago .... still as beautiful as before
Visited Clifton Gardens Park today with my family to see some of the harbour foreshore. Spent time enjoying the surrounding & an ice cream on a very warm afternoon. Together with my 7 year old niece, we walked along the trail and soon arrived at GZ. I got my niece to stay on the trail whilst I searched. Soon spotted the container and niece signed logbook. Great find! TFTC.
I love Clifton Gardens and when o saw there was a geocache here I was excited! TFTC I had a great day!
Spot on hint. Took a bit to get the cache out of its hiding place, but it nneds to be placed in snugly, so it won't roll away. TFTC
Took a couple of minutes to find because phone had me 15-20m in the wrong spot. Found a cute little possum at the base of a tree while looking for the GZ. Tftc!
Beautiful track. We had lunch nearby, what a pretty spot. Visiting Sydney for the weekend to see my sister. Found on a beautiful long coastal walk from Sirius Cove Reserve near Taronga Zoo to The Spit Bridge.

Taking advantage of a lovely Sunday for a walk, Ms Atalanta and I found ourselves walking the track which took us to this cache. Without the clue, this would have been very difficult to find, so well was it concealed. Even with the clue, it was far from easy. Still, up for a challenge......

Was just looking at the hide when someone asked me "Are you searching for something? Can I help you?". Good that I was honest - in fact it was EverestHigh, with his son MaxAdventurer joining us soon. So I handed over the cache after grabbing it, and I agreed to join them for finding the following caches. Good idea!
Thanks for the cache - it's nice and easy to find with the hint!

Stopped off on my way home after a night shift to pick up a few caches around the Mosman area. This was my 3rd, and last, find of the morning.
After finding "Bradley's Bushland" I drove down to this one. Parked the geomobile in the Clifton Gardens “Pay & Display” parking area but, as it was before the 8am ticketing start time, I didn’t need to “Pay” or “Display”
Walked the short distance to GZ and quickly located the interesting & well stashed cache container. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. We also utilise one of these "repurposed" items as a cache container in one of our own cache hides (I won't say which one
), but ours is utilised as to imply it's original intended use.
And after admiring the lovely views from GZ, it was now time for me to head home for some much needed sleep. TFTC HappyPaintball.

An easy find (if you can avoid being distracted by the wonderful views) with spot on coords and an overly generous hint! Also met a visiting German Geocacher, SlowFox79, so we searched and found a few caches together, then helped her along her way. TFTC HappyPaintball
