Hi Fabfamof4,
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm 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 listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Out for a spot of caching after a hiatus on a day that was to be raining but the clouds parted long enough for us to enjoy the walk around the lake. Was with contactpete, Czech_That_Out and UnicornPrincess418.
GPS was all over the place under the trees but could not find it. Sure we found the spot but nothing was there.

Out for a walk with mummy (spy 79), daddy (contactpete) and BB (Czech_That_Out). Was a long walk and my legs hurt but we did have fun finding these caches around the lake.
Tried looking around but no luck today. I think we found the right tree but there was nothing there.

Way off the path found the tree but even after digging g lots could not find it
Today me and DBJ decided to go for a nice walk around Lake Parramatta. She grew up the in the area, so she knew the trails well, but I’d never been here before. We managed to find almost all of them, and gave a lot of effort to the ones we couldn’t find. I enjoyed the walk, it felt further than it was, but it was quite beautiful, although the water is dirty.
This was the most difficult find of the day. We went to all of the trees in the area to no avail. The GPS was very jumpy giving mixed results for both of us. After about 20 minutes I doubled back to a location I had already looked at and used my phone, flash and filmed what I couldn’t see. Noticing something odd I knew what was at hand. I used my entire arm, my entire shoulder too, and after a few tries I defied death and grabbed the cache. No lid on this one, but got the sign on the log. TFTC, returned where easier to grab.

No pen but found. Was at the wrong tree but eventually saw the right spot. Boyfriend missed the chance to look behind conveniently placed rock. TFTC
Got a bit fixated on one area but then read the clue and found it pretty easy. TFTC
Nice quick one. The container was missing its lid, but the cache is mostly dry due to its location. I added another piece of paper to the log sheet. TFTC.
A third successful hunt for the intrepid hound and I today. This one took a little longer as GPS was variable and I didn't want to cross the fence until I had a better idea where I was heading. Still, I soon had the cache in hand and the log signed thanks to the space pen.
As per it seems many previous logs, the lid of the container is missing and the contents damp. Probably surprising nothing is calling the container home.

No lid on cache but log is OK....had to shoo away a centipede but victory was mine!! TFTC
Found this with BarberBlackSheep while enjoying a lovely Sunday afternoon walk
Great spot.
You could just sit here and chill. So serene.
There is no cache log and the lid is missing.
I tried looking in the immediate area for it but no luck.
Someone stuffed a piece of swag too big for the cache into it and there is rolled up stickers.
I signed the back of the sheet but I think you will need to come do some maintenance. Unfortunately I am bare today so I have nothing to help you out with. Sorry

First day of lockdown and i decided to come out to Lake Parramatta to get my daily exercise and grab a cache at the same time.
Id walked past the GZ before but never come up to try to find it.
I made a quick find once i got to the spot thanks to the clue however i found that the cap of the container is missing.
It really is a peaceful spot.
Thanks.

Man oh man... This is why I normally bring someone with me, I don't wanna do that! Summoned the courage and voila! CIH. Top of cache is missing though...
TFTC!
TFTC!
That’s easy a 2/2.5
No way wheelchair access
As mentioned GPS very jump
Canister had no lid and log was eaten !
Inserted new log sheet and wedged in tight to cater for no lid
Not in this hole but close

Went on a walk after work. Beautiful lake thanks for bringing us here. Found with gusph
Don't make it hard, there's a gap at the end

Great hide. There is a gap in the fence at the end. No need to hop it like we did. Found with Twinkletoes72
Judy found it after a bit of a hunt. I disagree that you don't have to go too far up: it's almost at the top of the rock outcrop.
Log found out of container. Didn't have pen with me but put log in container and attached keyring to hold it down. Container was without lid and previous logs were water damaged - I didn't remove these from container.
Experience with a spider, but quick find! Realised here we were walking the harder track
A little bit of a effort at the start but once I honed in on GZ it was a quick find.
What a lovely day for geocaching while walked around the Lake Parramatta. I took a little while to find it. Replaced log paper also it doesn't have a lid on as well. TFTH
Geocache missing its lid. Everything is wet and damaged. Needs replacing. Libby.
It’s missing it’s cap and needs a bit of TLC. We couldn’t sign the log so here’s a photo.
Another day to walk in an area where there is room to social distance. Sun is out the rain is gone time to cache
