Hi Frogstarius,

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, only to discourage people from visiting this location until this cache may be addressed.

**Please note that caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis you will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't just pop out and fix the issue,** geocache maintenance can wait. Once the acute threat of pandemic is over, I will remind you about your cache needing attention.

Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so. However, I would like to assure you I will not be archiving any caches which the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain.

I'll pass by in about another 45 days and hopefully this will all be over.

Ministro - Matt

No finds in almost 2 years. Lots of DNFs and a very questionable FOUND IT. No response from CO who seems inactive. Time to go please!

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

I'm absolutely sure this cache is not there, and the only find since May 2018 is almost definitely a mistake, as I have looked for it with several other experienced geocachers several times and not found it. Can CO please replace it or ARCHIVE it!!

Got the feeling that the last find is a fake and this urban hide hasn't been found in over a year

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

It was very hard because all that the bush in the way

Thorough search did not reveal any cache.

It was dark so maybe that's why we had to DNF this one.

We just couldn’t find it

Found with breezy1719 easy find

Found with and by beesechurger peacceeeeee easy finddd

First find on Aussie soil! Nice quick find, muggle son saw it before me! Tftc

Well that was easy!
Good co-ordinates took me right to GZ where I could see it. Once I'd found it the hint made sense. Signed the log and visited some TBs, rehid the cache and walked back to the station where I'd come from. It was a long train journey for just one cache so I'd better find some more while I'm here!

The paperbarks in this park must be very old judging by the girth of their trunks. Nice protection for the neighbours from the road and cachers from passing walking muggles not that there were any here mid morning today.

TFTC # 2428, Streak day #105

Almost gave up then finally it hit me
TFTC

It was good to be able to hide from the sun while searching. Tftc!

Found it although we were looking harder than we needed to

A quick find on our way back home

Located at 9:11am. Easy find whilst running a mishiver of errands today before the year’s end. Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

After having surgery a month ago I finally feel well enough to get out and grab just a few caches this afternoon after a nap. I got 10 from 10 south of home. Tftc.

*Hard*ly a natural. The cache name just throws you off eh?! There is just no de*fence* in not finding this one!! On the geobike '*carbony*' today for some geo-cache hunting. Took quite a while. Had given up and then just wandered around without focus. Duh. Whoa. Many thanks to the CO **Fogstarius** for installing and maintaining this cache for the rest of us to enjoy.

#4391- Back in the area in which I taught high school for over 20years, so I have driven by here many times. Its funny how you think you know what something is and where it should be and then realise you were completely wrong. Thanks

This would be easy to find if you looked in the right spot. I didn't. I made it much harder then it should be, but got it in the end. Thanks

quick find after shooping !
TFTC

I "tried harder" and found it this time.
Thanks

Gabstar turned and spotted this. Not where we thought it would be but definitely in plain sight. TFTC

Found by Gabstart. TFTC

I looked straight at this and still didn't see it until GAbstar yelled that she found it! TFTC

Apparently only I could see this in front of our faces. TFTC.

I was out and about nearby so decided to head over and find this cache. Parked the car nearby and then it was just a short walk across towards gz. There were lots of muggles using the walkway so some stealth was required. Initially the gps (or was it just me) led me to a spot where I searched for a while with no luck. Then I read a few past logs and that helped to steer me in the right direction. Very clever. TFTH

The cache name is ideal but grossly misleading. Took much time spent here, looking at the wrong spot. Once the spot was found, an easy hide, in plain sight. Tftc

This one is really close to home and after a DNF attempt a while back, I had it on my watchlist. I have been bugged by this one especially since the finds after my DNF attempt! I was back today and wasn't leaving until I found it. Careful not to draw attention from the muggles out of their balconies, I lapped the trees and with frustration setting in, I finally spotted it. Wow! In your face and not in your face. Can't believe I didn't see it the first time around. It's funny what you assume in an area like that. Had to work for this one! TFTC!

I felt a little exposed here but the street was pretty quiet.

After a couple of loops I spotted the cache.

I also spotted about a dozen teabags handing from nearby tree - very odd !

Tftc

Park and grab. Hint made sense on arrival.

Co ords spot on quick find

Attempted this one at 4:30pm. Muggles and school kids everywhere and that's without the passing traffic. Will have to come back.

Didn't know what to actually look for and the clue didn't help me.
Looks like I will have to try harder.

Felt very exposed to the busy passing traffic as I snuck around this random corner “park” but really only had to contend with a large flock of pigeons feasting on loaves of bread someone had dumped nearby.

I had to come twice here today. When I came the first time, there were mugglers around, so I went to fined another cache nearby. I returned to the place at the sunset...easy cache. Thanks a lot!

Quick find while out doing jobs.

Can't beleive i didnt see it... the "in your face" put me off ... It wasnt in my face but it was out there and a bit more obvious than I was expecting

Straight forward find this time. How can this be?? Looked in that spot last time and swear it wasn't there , otherwise I wouldn't of needed to return, anyway can't fathom.
Thanks for the in your face hide, frogstarious

Quick find. Good cryptic clue TFTC. Regards JordanandMichelle

In plain sight indeed. Tftc!

Yes..in plain sight...with a twist...tftf...

Super easy to find, hidden in plain sight

A lot of time without reward, suspect a neighbour has taken it.

Could not find this one.

We look everywhere and even started digging at the bark with no luck. Maybe next time

A cache 57 mt from where I had to go, well little detour was calling me, started search and not too long . CIH. Duties done and back to what I need to do . TFTC

Found it! Felt kind of exposed cause of all the traffic, but I pretended to be struggling to see my phone screen so I could head into the shadows to find it!

Found this one at night, it was quiet with very few cars passing by. Not sure what the clue meant but I spotted this one right away. TFTC!

Felt very exposed here, but found the cache quickly & signed a brand new crisp log. Tftc xo

Cache has been replaced with new container and logbook. Water proofing improved. Maintained by Frogstarius.

LOG is wet and cannot be signed. Needs replacing.

Drove around from the nearby cache and parked in the bowling alley car park. Walked over and spied the cache straight away. LOG completely wet and needs changing. tried to SL, but pen and wet paper doesn't work too well. Replaced. TFTC.

Good find. Logbook is wet. Found with rushjet.

An easy to find site, a little more difficult to find the cache - with 3 pairs of eyes it still took us 15-20 min. Watch out for the neighbour muggles!

#1343

So after two DNFs, I find myself here, looking for a find today.

Parked near GZ and saw two muggles close to the likely cache location. Wandered over and as I was reading the information sign they moved on. The coast is clear.

Wandered over and started the search, didn't take long, but certainly wasn't where I expected it.

Took the log back to the sign to complete signing duties then returned to rehide.
Headed back home, via the previous FTFDNF attempt (still no luck), then out for dinner.

I was convinced that the cache would be somewhere along the lines of the name of the cache, wrong, it was in PLAIN sight!

I went with my brother and he found it then I log it.

Cache maintenance. Cache was still there, all good, reconstructed container.

No luck for me even after 30mins

Quick find with snoopy TFTC

Streak Day #489 - Came back with ris768 after i received some info from a TAF, found the cache but suspect it has been broken due to the detail that a previous finder had described. TFTC

On a busy Sunday I got parking nearby and made a quick find. Lucky as I left my pen on the car!?!

TFTC.

Simple find in plain view. TFTC

1/11/14. 5:31 PM. Cache #1973. Streak day #132. 4th of 4 caches for the afternoon. After about an hour's break after the previous find (also by Frogstarius, "Rocky Road"), I came over to this one.

Once I'd worked out where to park and made my way over to GZ, the phone rang. Canary & I discussed the day's finds and while I was chatting I checked out a few possible hiding spots. Hmm, maybe not the trees after all, I wondered. I then saw another location that made the hint make more sense, and got CIH. I now see why maruce says it's so out in the open, heh heh. TFTC }:)

FTF! On a scorching hot day. I hope the paper(bark) trees don't spontaneously combust.
Thanks for the cache.
