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.
Sure we found the place but it was nowhere to be found.

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 to find this one. Had the correct place but could not find it anywhere.

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.
Me and DBJ collectively spent about 30 minutes in this one but no luck. We found the right rock, as indicated by prior log photos and hints etc. but there was nothing here at all. Even with my arm flailing around blind inside.

As previous cachers have said, GPS is a little off, although I think I was lucky as I found it in like 2 seconds haha
Probably about 10m away from where it says it was, but hint still works.
TFTC!

GPS seems well off. I almost gave up. Post more when home.
Canister was full of water as it had been lying top down. Very hard to see as the black canister was rotated so the GeoCacheing sticker could not be seen
I let the log dry for a bit on the rocks. Still too wet for my pen to lay ink.
TFTC - I replaced where found but mounted it a bit higher to let water run away. I hope !

I caught up with the muggle family and passed them enough to retrieve this before they saw me.
Easy grab with jcheongster on our way round the lake. Unfortunately we still haven’t been able to procure a pen! TFTC
Nice little find with carloTurcos. Lovely walk but lots of muggles. Didn’t bring a pen
What a lovely day for geocaching while walked around the Lake Parramatta. I took a little while to find it. A log paper is okay. TFTH
We found the cache!! Really good activity but remember to bring a pen to write in it!! 
Another day to walk in an area where there is room to social distance. Sun is out the rain is gone time to cache. Replaced paper
TFTC. Found the cache out in the open with no log. Have taken a photo as POF & moved it to its original hiding spot per the coordinates. Geodog Atlas was with me for the find.
