Eaten Alive Rockdale, New South Wales, Australia
By walk there on 17-Feb-14. Waypoint GC4YR6W

Unfortunately I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore as advised previously, the cache is being de-listed (Archived) to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

The [**Geocache Maintenance guideline**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains what needs to happen with a Disable cache.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article [**here**](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=56).

If you wish to contact me please send an email via my profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

No response to requests for update by message and on the listing.

Is the owner planning on replacing this?

If not, then its time to go.

As asked by private message, is this coming back?

I also used the spoiler photo and searched high & low for about half an hour but sadly a DNF for me. Even got up the tree for a bird's eye view but...nope. Previous cachers have indicated GPS is dead on but couldn't find anything in the vicinity of GZ. A few DNFs recently so wondering if cache is still there or if it's been muggled? At least I didn't get eaten by any mozzies which is a first for me. Thanks for the hunt

Disabling until i get a chance to check on this cache

Second attempt today, as we had an hour to kill. Used spoiler photo in old log, but still not found.

An hour or so to kill in the area while we waited for the family to arrive for picnic lunch. Ok, three caches in the immediate area to collect. Lets go..

After our DNF at the court house, I thought we might have better luck here, but after searching GZ, and then expanding our search, I think they might have eaten it. Sorry to log another DNF today.

Jagged it on way to airport

walk there I found your cache Eaten Alive on 29/4/18, 2:25 pm. This is my find 1981 and find # 4 today. Coords spot on. After a a quick searched soon had CIH. Logbook needs replacing. Thanks for the cache! TNSLLN

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

There were absolutely some mozzies around, no doubt about that. The GPSr refused to settle on a specific location, but with some methodical rummaging through any possible hiding places, eventually the cache was found.

Found if! Bit difficult to get it out.

Had to dodge a few muggles but patience paid off. Found this cache and only saw one mozzie!

You warned us. Mossies out n about.
We got it tho...
Tx for cache

In Sydney for a few days to catch up with relatives . Thought I would take some time out , go for a bit of a walk and find some caches . But alas , I could not find this one . Searched around GZ for awhile but no luck . Will have to try again next time .

Found it after two other tries. Log book was dry but pencils blunt!

pretty accurate gps, I’m happy I came here Sunday morning, when I was about half an hour earlier to the church. TFTC

Pretty sure from reading last comments that it's gone, no sign this morning.

Nice spot, but not enough information or difficulty rate is off.

Been here before but no luck again today.

No joy today spent a while looking but no luck.

Couldn't find it, long look in the park and in the spot between the two tree branches

Glimpsed it when the sun shone on it. Getting it out was another matter. TFTC

Found this during a morning run (away) from the conference that was held in the nearby Novotel. Cache like this one is why I love geocaching as the GZ is a pretty little place that is well worth a visit and an explore and it is a considerable contrast to the light industrial estates and busy roads that are around. I was happy to visit this park so a huge thanks for the geocache.
Finding the geocache was easy, extracting it was challenging and signing the log book impossible as the paper was soggy and my pen would tear it . Cache container placed back where it was found but with the lid to the bottom so it will hopefully drain the moisture out.

Great cache! Nice park but container and log need lots of maintenance. Logbook is wet, tape on the container is gone, container is slightly rusty and the pencils are wet too. Great find anyway. TFTC

Picture of the cache:

Looking for something to fill in time whilst not studying, it was suggested that I finally get around to logging THOSE caches long found but never logged. Some even have funny stories of being visited not only once or twice, but a few even have had a third or fourth visit before realising I've been there done that. The date is as near to the correct day the cache was found. So sorry for the generic and late log. JABs.

Couldn't spot it today.

While on a business trip close by I was lucky to have some spare time for a walk. Not so lucky in my search for this one. The coast was clear but after one hour I had to admit defeat. Had me moving from tree to tree. Not likely to come back to Sydney either. Least the mozzies made me feel welcome. Thanks anyway

Second attempt at this cache and found the stash, much easier to find in daylight.TFTC

1st attempt at this cache and no luck, searched for a while but think a muggle might've taken it, title so true, eaten alive!

We've looked for this several times and finally found it on a beautiful sunny afternoon TFTF

Tftc cache no travel bug though :-/ was hoping to take it to Singapore with me ...

A decent look today with Krishy, but just could not find, even after looking at the hints and pictures.

We went to play in the playground instead.

Thanks for the cache!

The birds here are noisy in the arvo. 2 cockys wanted to blow my cover. TFTC.

Wasn't eaten alive this, should probably count myself lucky
Tftc

The biggest problem here was the muggle sitting on the seat nearby, but we managed to make the find while he was not paying attention to us. Soon all was completed and returned successfully to its hiding place. Thanks to walk there for putting this cache out there.

Out and about today to find a few caches.
Another find for the day. 20+ caches.
A quick find here and no mossies.
Thanks for the cache.

Good find if you have spare time

After dropping some folks off at the airport I had time to find a couple of caches. This is a very nice park and on this early morning no muggles around. Had a short walk through the park and might comeback on day when it's warmer.

Found it!!!

Great hide, first find for the geowife. Really nice park.TFTC.

This was my first geocache with my little one Xavier! We did a few loops around the site but eventually found the hidden tin. Definitely aim to do it when the mossies are at bay No trackable in cache.

Took a little to find it and brought us to a nice place

A quick find after a minute of searching. Great location, I can see why muggles use it for photos. TFTC

Nice easy find on an ANZAC Day morning. TFTC

It took longer to get the log book out than finding it.

TFTC. Nice park.

Coords spot on - even wit tree cover

Lovely little park

Tftc

Wandered about the trees with a GPS that refused to settle down (but was very adamant that I go and look amongst the trees). Definitely mosquitoes here at 19:00, despite the pleasant breeze. Without a hint, I gave up and caught the bus back to Rockdale from the nearby bus stop.
It's a pretty nice park. I reckon it deserves a cache larger than a micro...

FOUND IT!

Thank you we found the mint box

Found it cheers

Finally found it after 3 attempts. Can't believe I didn't see it before. Only took 3 minutes! No trackables in there, though there's not much room anyway. No mozzies this arvo. TFTC. #273.

Found it after a short search. Had to walk in and out of the trees and still the co-ords seemed off. Used my intuition and that worked a treat. Didn't see mozzies but now I'm getting itchy so they must have been too quick for me. Took 2 TBs

Found on way to airport

Had time before breakfast to come and nab this one. Last cache in Australia! Got it now, and was able to leave two trackables inside. Thanks for the smiley!

Nice hide! Not too difficult!

Quick find with geowife without being eaten alive

TFTC

Notre visite de Sydney, passe par Rockdale Park, une balade bien agréable.
Nous sommes à proximité de l'aéroport, car ma visiteuse des fêtes,
va nous quitter pour regagner la France.

Found it gps perfect

All good, easy. Thanks

This was my second attempt at this cache and in total about 2 hours looking in just about every tree in this park and still a DNF! How hard should it be to find a mint tin? Oh the frustration. Even messaged CO for some hints and still no find! This is real cache-blindness here. I will return another day. Hopefully I will have better luck next time when I have the correct tree in my sights. Thanks for the tips walk there in trying to help me get the grab, but I am hopeless with this one. I may need to go to specsavers and bring someone else along with me before I try again. I don't know about the mozzies eating me alive, but those pine needles certainly scratched me badly! Another DNF for Brewmaker.

no muggles around today,the weather was not so good ,we were waiting for a flight to melbourne with time to kill,so went finding caches in the area.thanks for the cache walk there tnln sl

I found this cache on my way to my hotel not too far from here. Lucky for me I found it in the first place I checked and seemed to avoid any mosquitos too. TFTC, Biggles.

Stopped here hoping for a quick find on the way home from the RNP, and it was.
What a nice park, glad I came here.
TFTC # 1181

I am pleased to say I managed to find this geocache without being eaten alive. It was a double victory! TFTC

CO checked this cache today and found it moved to a different location nearby - probably better here so left it and changed co-ords slightly.

Compass coords had me out in the open surrounded by several trees. Searched for ages with no luck. How hard is it to find a mint tin? Amongst the trees? Impossible for me today. Having checked ALL the previous logs and photos I suspect I should have looked elsewhere. Maybe coords need to be updated? I shall return! And those mozzies were a little hungry today!

Relatively easy find for me today thankfully. Muggle & mozzie free because it's cold and windy-only crazy cachers out in this! Thanks for making it a worthwhile outing before work walk there!! Cheers!

Found yesterday with Mizcupcake. No mosquitoes. Careful placement

Found yesterday with Crinklypear5, a cool day today meant no mossies but it took us a few minutes to make the find. TFTC!

Spent ages looking for this one with my son some time ago, unsuccessfully. Came back today with said son again, with renewed determination. Found it! We were looking in the wrong area last time. TFTC.

Found it after 2 attempts

#2160 (4 of 6 today) (Streak day 110)

Decided to travel down this way after dropping Geoson #2 off for work. Found six, and gathered information for two others.

Nice early start to the day. Tftc

J Found TFTC

I walked from the car with no-one around on such a cold afternoon, and found several options but concentrated on the most likely one. Some of the camo has come off so unfortunately it was spotted easily and logged. It was easy to hide better using some natural camo from nearby, though. Thanks for a good hide in a nice park, certainly no mozzies around here today.

Kept being stared at by an old man so had to wait for him to leave. Lovely day for caching, lovely park Ive always meamt to ecplore. Thanks.

Stopped here this morning on my way to the airport to pick up geohubby. The rain & clouds played havoc with the GPS but eventually settled on one tree. A bit of poking around & I had the CIH. SL tftc

We offered to pick Mr & Mrs Hancock up from the airport, as that's what friends do. On the way home Mr H sheepishly asks "do you mind if we turn right at the next right - I'd like to do a cache for the distance challenge". Of course not Mr H - it would be my pleasure!
A quick find just out of the sight of a few muggles kicking a ball around.
TFTC
Cheers.

A fairly quick find whilst on the way back home from the airport with Usat31 who very kindly came and picked us up. We'd already found a cache in NZ today and needed one in Australia to qualify for the Geocaching distance challenge (GC518f3). TFTC
Cheers,
The Hancock Clan

Hard but we did it

Found[Time to Find: 3 min]

Surprisingly bouncy signal meant this one took a while. So many trees.......

TFTC

Tftc

I think the muggles have found it and kidnapped it

Good find. Co ordinates are accurate. Had a BALL!

No mozzies today.

Found the cache just after dark. Glad it's winter so we were not eaten alive.

Stopped on the way back to the Gong from the airport. Plenty of mozzies and a gardener who stopped mowing at GZ for a loooong phone call delayed proceedings but all ended well. TFTC.

Found with pipersand after a little while!
SL, TNLN, TFTC walk there

Cheers
The Odlids

Plenty of mozzies but no cache. Sad

Did

Luckily for us there was no mossies today and no muggles watching us walk in circles. Finally we approached what turned out to be GZ at a slightly different angle and the bright sunlight highlighted what we were looking for. Have driven past this park many times and was pleasantly surprised - thanks for bringing us here 'walk there' and thanks to the odlids for actually bringing me here!

Took us a while but found it TFGC!! Nice little park
