No response from the owner within the last 28 Days and as per my original note this cache has been archived. If you wish to replace it please submit a new cache via [this link](https://www.geocaching.com/play/hide).

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.

Another sunny day, another attempt and another failure. Some photos show the container at the base of a star picket. There are only about 6 of these in the vicinity and a search failed to find any container.

It has now been more than a year since a "needs maintenance" log was posted with no action by the cache owner. Perhaps this one should be archived.

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

Sorry didn't find it.

Has this been destroyed?

Will check for the owner as I have already found and will keep everyone up to date.

Cheers - Harrison

had a thorough look around checking based on previous pictures, but no smiley face for us.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

No luck for us either. Will watch to see if anyone else finds it.

Had to give this one up. Will return if someone else finds as I think may no longer be there

fjmtdk I found your cache TDK landmarks #1- Callan Park Bridge on 8/12/18, 4:21 pm. This is my find 2205 and find # 9 today. Still there, even with all the renovations happening. Thanks for the cache! TNSLLN

The grass is over grown and this cache might not be available for much longer because of the renovation

OCW.,PDG a muggle and the Bebes on the last day of my holiday in Australia.
Walked in circles prior to making the find, TFTC

Nice

Found on 2nd attempt thanks to activity log. TFTC!

A relatively quick find but could be tricky...

A bit tricky!

hard find, bad gps but once found it, was satisfying, not next to bridge, found next to one of two fences nearby

Super small and sneaky!

We had been wanting to take a look at this bridge for a long time now and finally got around to make a visit. Thanks Contactpete for bringing us here.

The GPSR put us right at the roundabout so we had to wait a while for a family to pack up their drone and leave before we could start the search. With the roundabout thoroughly searched we expanded our search radius all the way back to the bridge and included some surrounding buildings without any success. Having wasted far too long on this one we decided to finally give up and try another cache nearby.

Geobiking day around Rodd Island for this sunny Sunday.

Quick found. We met some new geocacher !

Found on day .

Grrrr that was hard but second time around we found it. A golden treasure

Found on 2.9.18 with MotleyRoss

Father day's family walk. Try to clean out caches around Bay Run. Geokid firstly spotted this one. TFTC

Cheeky

Definitely would have struggled without reading previous logs. Loved the bridge and history. Thanks

Found ‘TDK landmarks #1- Callan Park Bridge’ (GC58EPK) with morry9.

Today, I teamed up with morry9, to hunt for more Hidden Creatures (and caches), as we fast approach the remaining days of the geocaching June / July 2018 promotion.

I needed another nine cache finds to complete the challenge and capture the illusive World Turtle (digital souvenir). Looking at my map, the Lilyfield and Leichhardt area had a decent concentration of unfound caches, so I invited morry9 to join me for the afternoon.

We started at ’TDK landmarks #1- Callan Park Bridge’ (GC58EPK), which we previously had to abandon after the security guard came over to see what we were up to one night. A quick Phone A Friend was required with the amount of muggles around and the compass bouncing around the place, but we soon had the Cache In Hand.

‘Blondie’ (GC7HK90) proved to be a quick find in between the groundskeepers passing by while on duty.

A short walk down to the Bay Run and a quick find at ’I’m not pulleying your leg - #1 The Bay Run Series’ (GC7G1RT). It is very cutely hidden, but I made sure to put it back with a little more protection than when we found it.

I played a season of footy down at Leichhardt Park a number of years back, before the ’Leichhardt Park Cache.’ (GC5R6ZG) was there. A nice quick find but do not think it is overly secure. Hopefully it sticks around.

Lots of trash to pick up around ’The End Of Norton Street’ (GC7HZM4) site. I picked up as much rubbish as I could, while we grabbed the cache. The CITO Crusaders strike again!

’Pioneers Memorial Park’ (GC701RC) is a lovely park to visit and a nicely constructed cache to find. We did not need the spoilers in the previous logs but it was certainly well hidden.

We were both confused by ’The Bebe Ammo Can - Leichhardt’ (GC7JTR5). This is not an ammo can? Made a quick find here while taking a short rest along Norton Street.

Lots of passing puppies and their muggle owners meant we had to wait a little before pouncing on ’Barking Mad’ (GC3RCP4).

With the actual bridge closed and needing to be on the other side, we made a straight forward find once we found at way over to ’Hawthorne Parade Troll @ Haberfield’ (GC3TZK2).

It was a fun afternoon out and about in the beautiful winter sunshine. Definitely a good excuse to venture out in the depths of the inviting urban forest, that is Sydney at this time of year.

Thanks For The Caches to the respective Cache Owners.

"JordsAU

Been here a few times used to play footy down the rd. I like. The bridge very cool. Found with JordsAu. Coor out by 6m. Cheers for the cache.

Thanks. Was fun and clues helped

Took some time but eventually got there.

Think battery...

Found

Third find on this productive day

Photo in another comment helped!

ran out of time

It's tricky, fence looks like being dismantled almost, rusty bars. TFTC

Enjoy the Harbour Bridge model. ( From a little distance ) tftc

Coords a bit off photo in another comment helped, soccer game on nearly got hit with a ball, awesome find TFTC

So small, a few meters away.

Cache looks like a battery/bullet, it does not look like a plastic bag (that's dog poo). Consider yourself warned.

I came by yesterday, but way too many games happening. Today, I had most of the area to myself. After wandering a bit, I looked over logs. I decided to look a bit further and saw something out of the corner of my eye. Glad I was able to track this one down. TFTC

#8146 - 13:25; I was in Sydney with the geohoney for the weekend and after arriving at Birkenhead Point we grabbed a bite to eat before she set off for some retail therapy and I went off for a spot of caching. I had DNFd this cache on an earlier visit, but after checking some recent logs and using a slightly different set of coords, I managed to reverse that result here today and bag a find. TFTC contactpete

A tricky one to find surreptitiously with weekend soccer going on around us! Hopefully we managed to blend in with the spectator-muggles. Tftc

Signed as PDG to save log space. The coords were out but looked through logs and used those suggested by Brewmaker. Once I had the correct location and scratched around a bit the cache was located. Tftc

Ohhh it blends in well! Nice cache.

Couldn't find it.

Had ventured to this cache before with no luck but with talk of some updated cords I finally made the find. TFTC

After reading the comments I was determined not to give up on this one, after a lot of looking around I managed to get it signed.

tftc

Today we headed over to Lilyfield, taking advantage of the cheap Sunday $2.60 per head capped Opal Card fares, to explore the grounds of the old Callan Park Mental Hospital and then follow The Bay Run back to Leichhardt North Tram Stop. Utilised Bus/Train/Tram on the way over, and Tram/Train/Ferry/Bus for the return journey back to home. This was the 5th of 7 finds for the day.

After finding "Phoneix" we next arrived at this one, enjoying our stroll amongst the old buildings along the way. We utilised the coords posted by Brewmaker (thanks) to make a reasonably quick find. Signed the log sheet then replaced as found.

Glad we hadn't noticed the string of recent DNF's prior to our arrival, or we may well have bypassed this one and thus missed the very impressive Harbour Bridge War Memorial in the process. TFTC contactpete/fjmtdk.

Find #2293

Tried my best, and judging by the other reports, I reckon it been hidden someplace else, or stolen. But a really good place to hide one and fun for the family.

DNF

Despite the recent DNFs, I had a look as I was passing on the way up the hill to the new caches. No luck I'm afraid.

Dnf?

We didn't find it. But I really did enjoy seeing the replica of the harbour bridge. Really cool!

This is an area I've never been to before. All a bit creepie, really. I can say categorically, that without the hints in the logs, I'd never have got anywhere near this one!!!

TFTC contactpete

This took about 20 minutes too long as the coords are out by about 12m and along with no hint, makes searching very difficult! Only after moving every single leaf and bit of rubbish along the fence did we uncover the lowly placed bison. Please update as was mentioned in the ENABLE LISTING last August. For future seekers, try S920 E561. TFTC

No luck despite photo help

Went to GPS and found 10m or so from GZ. Had to illegally park though as the carpark was full.

Beam me up Scotty

Or is it timberrr...!

Very lucky to find quick. Tftc

Found it around 7:30 tonight, not long after the owner had replaced it. Nice Small cache.

GPS slightly off but found it eventually

Lovely Sunday walk... gps throws you off... very small container... take note of shadow in photo to help you

REALT SUPER SMALL TOOK US 20M hope you find it?

Found after a short search. Gps had us a bit off and had teenagers yelling at us.... Are you ghost hunters? Interesting night..... LolTftc

Came here late tonight to do a clean up of the area but this place gave me the creeps but great history would like to come back during the day. Thanks for b bringing us here TFTC

Never let a dnf put you off. It did take a bit but we finally located and signed the log.

Took a while but soon had log and signed

Took awhile to locate but found in the end

Checked everywhere for half an hour but couldnt find it - maybe it has been muggled?

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

Change cache name

Really enjoyed finding this hide TFTC fjm

Sneaky hide! TFTC!

Great LITTLE cache, TFTC!

Found it with Amanda and Minnie. First time to the park, thanks for the history info!

Found this a little after the owner fjm replaced the cache a bit of time ago

still not there

Went back and replaced the cache. The cache is located in a similar spot on a fence about 10m away from the GZ. I can update the coordinates if needed. The cache has been placed low down and make sure to add camo after finding to ensure it doesn't get muggled. Have fun

Found it around 7:30 tonight, not long after the owner had replaced it. Nice Small cache.

The cache has still not been replaced by its owner Finley. i was under the impression that it was being replaced that day but still nothing, wasted a good hour of my afternoon trying to find a cache that is not there and am very disappointed in the disorganized owner Finley.

In process of obtaining cache container. Will be out soon

Sent out adoption, will be replaced soon.

Regards

Callan Park Bridge was transferred from contactpete to user fjmtdk

Super annoyed to DNF this as it was apparently out in the open. Literally searched for 1 hour and a half and don't find... also as a note to the owner: I bought ur pathtag

After a successful mission around Balmain, I crossed over and made my way to this cache. Despite an extensive search and research through earlier logs I must have put the cloth eyes on when I crossed the main road to get here as I couldn't locate the cache today.....

Found! However had great trouble getting the log book out it was quite jammed!

Yay Team Ward! The location is mentioned in the 'about this geocache' page

DNF for me today. Doesn't help that cache is "10 metres" from GZ by other reports. Maybe a little TLC is in order here.

For the umpteenth time, I seem to have struck out here. Following RS' log, all I found was the lid off a systema tub - this may or may not have been the cache?
CC

Took us awhile ... very sneaky but not . Had to scroll through many logs to help us out for this one . Thanks heaps for showing us this area ... history is pretty random but cool

After an unsuccessful search last year, dropped by again and the coords are 10m out and it is sitting there for all to see. TFTC.

GPS is abt 10m out but as others have said, its out in the open.
