One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache within 7 days, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 7 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am 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 page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

So many DNFS should be archived

Another DNF for this one.
It was worth a try

I searched many places but the most obvious place indicated by the hint was bare. CO needs to check.

CO please check.

this chache needs to be checked, had a previous finder have a look and its missing

As per DNF log. Cache check required.

Scouted around. Obvious spots are empty and there is evidence of pruning.
Cache check required.

Looks like it's missing

Look like some work have been done in the area.

Missing

Found 23/6/15 TFTC

Yayyyy found it. Decided to go for a late night early morning adventure an thought lets do some geo caching

This cache had been passed/overlooked countless times so it was a surprise how easy it was to park and seek. A tad exposed in its hide but in excellent condition with kidlet swappables within. Signed and given an overlay of camo ... may it stay for a long future. TFTC

Found in the dark

Thanks

We found it in the dark !!

Surprised cache had lasted this long. Very open location. Tftn tnln

Our first GC!

Nice easy or for beginners.

Cooooool

# 155. With ADAcache, Karbonator and Tweety14. TFTC.

#9 Good find to recover from my last dnf

Cords are a little bit off but the cover was obvious so an easy find
No 7 for today

Found it lying on the ground put it back where I thought it might have come from..... Might need a cache check

Thanks lots of fun

4th visit and saw it on approach! Nice Mother's Day find!!

Tftg.

I thought this one would be, as the cache name suggests, at Darcy Smith Oval ... it wasn't!
Crossing the road, I thought it would be where my GPS was pointing ... it wasn't!
Looking a little wider, I thought from the hint it would be hidden in one of a few places ... it wasn't!

But then I found it ... hidden in plain sight in a quite unexpected place. Thanks casper73 ... nice one!!

10.00am - So frustrating not finding a 'park and grab' cache... What am I missing!? Lucky its close to home, I'll be back... Again!!!

Our first geocache!

My first geocache! Yay!

2.30pm - Sometimes we all need a little help from our friends, or a nudge away from where our phone GPS is telling us to look! TFTC.

Hopefully we'll have better luck next time!

Yesterday was geohubby's birthday and his outing of choice this year was to go geocaching. We decided to hit the foothills of the Blue Mountains and enjoy the warmth of the mid-autumn weather.
With the light quickly fading and the lightening flashing in the distance we had a go at our last cache for the day. With a couple of DNF's I didn't have high hopes especially when the most likely location turned up empty. We were just about to give up when hubby looked at things from a different perspective and made the find. It was up to me to make the retrieval though. Signed log and returned cache before the next lot of muggles walked by.
All in all a very successful day. 18 finds out of 18 caches.

Apparently it's meant to be quite an easy find !! This makes me think it might have been stolen..

Has this been removed as an April Fools Day joke or did I just totally miss what others said was an was find? I am blonde after all...

I hope this cache hasn't been muggled!

A quick find on the way home from Penrith, Thanks

Nice and easy find! Found this one after work. Busy little Park, but it's rather quiet around GZ. TFTC!

I found this with the geo kids. My geo son was so excited because he has the same first name as the cache and oval.

An easy find whilst out caching with Team Webguy.
Cheers,
The Hancock Clan

A quick and easy find. A WP for an old multi was right near here.

The walk across the oval was longer than it looked. I was only wearing thongs and my feet ended up covered in bits of grass.

Found with jamescreer at 1620. TftC

Thanks for the hunting and cache.

Nice quick park, walk across the oval then grab. Thanks for the cache this afternoon between storms.

Tfth pretty obvious spot hopefully muggles dont stumble across this one!!!

First Find! Woo super Exciting!!

Found it really easy as it was in plain site, when we logged in we left something in it (there was nothing but the log book), put a little camo on it when leaving so it wasn't as obvious, TFTC ! :^)

Lucky there no workers here today, looks like there getting new path ways build here. TFTC

So close to 24 caches in 24hours! 3 to go and only an hour left- not sure we can do it Aaargh. Anyway nice easy find. TFTC!

probable location spotted when walking to GZ. It was and the cache retrieved and log signed. Replaced with plenty of natural camo as area nearby is a work site. tftc

Found where we were expecting. Bit disconcerting that what was probably the nearby workmen dumped their lunch right on it though.

TFTC

On a mission and this cache was just needed as a number. TFTC.

Replaced cache and good to go now

This will need replacing

Didn't check the activity before we came ! Most defiantly gone ! Devo

No doubt it's gone, GZ appeared to be screaming at us...

TFTC quick find. Tnln

Found it

A quick fun find, good job

And now have a bug to move on

Nice quick find, decent cache too so left a half geo coin that wants to find its other half. This came back from the UK with us, so please see that it stays in circulation TFTC

A quick park and grab, thanks.

Was nearby to a client this morning and had time for just one, and this one was it. I quickly noticed that it was yet another casper73 hide - I have done several of casper's hides over in the east recently.

I didn't even need the GPS/iPhone for this one as I headed over from the geo-mobile. The container was one I have also seen recently.

Thanks for hiding this cache casper73.

No pen in sistema oh well

I had to make a trip down to the Penrith area for a doctor's appointment, so took the opportunity to find and log seven of my 'unfounds' in the general area. It was 32 degrees at midday and I really appreciated the Blue Mountains temperatures by the time I was finished!

Stopped by here while taking 'the long way home' and quickly discovered this cache's rather bold hiding place.

All was OK and it seems to have survived for some time now. I added a bit more natural camo so that the container wasn't in plain sight.

TNLNLSL.

Many thanks to casper73 for the hide.

A quick find at a training day. Dropped tb. Tftc.

Found under the watchful eye of the CO TFTC

Streak Day # 490 - Nice quick find on a nice evening. TFTC

Nice big container for a place like this! Hope nobody finds it by accident?

The cache was uncovered when I approached so it was very easy to spot.

Signed the log and replaced the cache with a lot more cover this time.

Tks ... casper73 ... GazMag

Good

A quick find in an obvious spot. It wasn't covered well at thr time.
Lucky no games were on at the time though.
Thanks for the cache.

So, what do ya do when the M4 is jammed due to an accident? Your take an alternative route and stop to pick up a cache. "Hello Mr. Huntsman! 'Scuse me while I sign this log."

Been a bit busy as of late, and the recent weather hasn't included a cool blue sky day, more heat and rain, so the bush hasn't been a great option either. Guess it was lucky that this cache was published to keep me going then...
Was travelling eastbound on the GWH and pulled over almost directly opposite the cache. A 50m odd walk back lead me to an obvious spot where the cache was pulled from.
Made sure to cover up appropriately. Sometimes a simple cache like this is what you're feeling like. TFTC.

Found it

I put a few swaps in to make this one more interesting.

Yay found it didn't bring a pen with us. Found with Ren, Logan and Byron.

#2742- Having done six caches out Merrylands way today, five of which belong to Casper73, I was surprised to find that this new one too, such a long distance from the others, belonged to the same CO. Where the heck do you live? You certainly get around.
This one was and instant find- one of those ' aliens from outer space could spot it' ones. I wish you luck, but knowing how busy this park can be on weekends especially, I can't see it surviving too long with nosey, bored kids looking around. Thanks for the six of yours I did today.

I was glad to find this after work nice and quick.

TFTC.

It was about 11 o'clock at night when we found this cache. We'd been in Penrith to watch the production of Henry V. We'd noticed the publication earlier, but Harry was urging us into the breach, and in we went.

After the show we headed towards Old Bathurst Road and stopped on the side of the road. We figured wondered about foundem's multi which we did here years ago. It looks like it's gone. We stumbled across to this cache, iPhones in hand. We saw the obvious spot, and once more we were going in. Thanks

#3,119

Bikerbuddy & I were in Penrith to watch Henry V at the Q. I checked my emails while we were waiting for the performance to start & saw this one had been published right on our route home. So at 11pm, on our way home, we made a quick stop to have a look for the cache.

We could only find one torch in the car, and we only had our iPhones to navigate to the cache, but we still made a quick find.

Thanks

The Booo's found this cache,

FTF @ 6:33PM

We had just finished our shopping at the nearby supermarket when the email chimed on the phone. It was a new publication and the name was strangely familiar, a quick check and sure enough it was less than 200 meters away!!

Quickly finished packing the car wander over was rewarded with a deserted GZ, and easy find and a empty log book.



Thanks casper73 for placing this cache
