Good Day,
This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).
I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.
Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.
Looking forward to hearing from you,

Sadly, we did not find this cache, though we did find what appears to be the log book!
After finishing with my appointment this morning, went in search of a few caches in the area. Am not having much luck with this series of caches here.
Arrived at GZ and looked around and found logsheet wrapped around a branch in the tree. No cache container to be seen. As it is in the open I didn't want to draw attention to myself trying to retrieve logsheet, so I left it there. Last log date 22/07/17 so not sure when cache container went missing.
Cache needs maintenance. (as I left my phone at home, could not take photo of logsheet to verify position).

The closest we could get to GZ was 1m, which had us in amongst the weeds. We searched all of the nearby spots we could think of, but nothing shiny was making itself seen...Maybe daylight will help us in this search. Sneaky Squirrels
We finally were able to do some much needed geocaching due to not having to work today so that we did. Unfortunately we didn't see a Goanna however we did see a water dragon which was also the cache guardian. TFTC!
Find #774

Nice amble along the path to this cache. Found easily, and log retrieved. The log is full up, so a new log is required. Name added and cache returned. Time to walk back to the first cache near the bus. TFTC
Found this with my partner this afternoon just before a storm hit. Didn't have long to sign the log book before the rain hit. Cool cache. Very easy, shiny find.
Was in right place but looking wrong direction. Had to check logs for clue. TGTC.
GPS said I was on the other side of the creek so good eyes and guess work prevailed
Quick find here. No goannas though - they are too smart to be out in this cold! TFTC 
Not as easy a find as our first but finally we did it .. Standing in one spot and I looked up there it was nice and shiny GC .. Thanks this is unreal .. Peace
2nd for the day out with my mrs since it's our last couple of days before we move to the GC

Took geodaughter for a Physio appt and decided to walk and find these two caches. Beats sitting in the waiting room. TFTG
I was on a mission today which soon brought me too this area. Did someone say hills? My goodness this area is hilly. It was my first time cruising around here and for the most part it seemed pretty pleasant.
I made it to GZ pretty early but it appears not early enough to beat the morning walkers and the neighbour across the road that was up doing something in the front yard as I arrived. Thankfully though after a few minutes he went in and I pounced.
For what it is, it still took me a little longer then I would like to admit but in the end I got the little bugger.
No goanna's today but still a great little park, thanx for sharing genyo

After my phone GPS decided to try and send me into someone's front yard I looked at the map to work out the most logical spot. Eventually the right spot was found and the cache was quickly found. A little out of reach for me but NED_Q24 made quick work of it and soon had the cache in hand. TFTC
As our phone tried to tell us to travel in the opposite direction away from the park we decided to look in obvious locations quickly locating the cache and signing the log
We wandered past number 2 thinking it was on the other side of the creek and came to this one.
There's lots of mums walking around with toddlers in prams or on bikes and one parked herself near us but didn't seem interested in what we were doing.
The cache was quickly located and I had to cycle through my collection of pens to find one that would write on the paper but eventually we got there.

Needed to get around and make a find for today and this one was not to far out of the way from where I needed to be. I was soon pulled into the kerb and heading over to take a look. There was no one around which was good and I soon got into taking a look. Somewhere I missed it on the first approach and it took a second look around soon turned up the cache. I got my name in the log and soon replaced and off to get some others things done.

Out in the area for today and some free time presented me with the opportunity to grab this series. Nice little area that deserves this series. I had some good fun and very little frustrations with this series.
Haha. This made me laugh as it was right there and i overlooked it. Haha. Tftc. Recovered and returned

Continued on from 2. Didn't see any goannas. Did see a water dragon though. I soon had the cache spied and signed. Last one for the day. TFTC
That was cool! Also got to see a goanna swimmimg in the creek. Memorable cache
No luck with this one. Looked high and low until I spied a guy sitting on his porch watching me! Quick as a flash, up comes my phone to take photos of a rather mediocre bird in a tree and he lost interest, but I still couldn't find it 
Oh well, there's always next time! Thanks genyo 
Oh PS, I posted the bird pic...may as well do something with one of the photos I took ha ha.

Having a bit of time to kill I decided to take advantage of the situation and do some caching, it was an easy cache to find tftc
Turf thus one has us stumped for a while but managed to find the cheeky cache
True credit to 'DiMorgan'(?) Who i met as i was side tracked trying to photograph goanas :p
Lovely! Tftc!

Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads
Today we headed from Thorneside to Ballymore to watch the grandson play grandfinal rugby.
We took the slow trip to the oval, going by a few caches on the way.
We met another cacher while searching for this cache, geo hubby spotted it. A couple of goannas seen in the area today.
Thanks for placing this cache genyo

Wonderful. Very nice and peaceful. Again had to wait for a few passing muggles but a fairly quick find otherwise.
I was worried with the previous dnf and a creek that looked like a hang out for littlies but a previous log helped and had me looking in the right spot.

Took a little while to find the cache but once in hand it was time to celebrate.

On my way around initially GZ was a bit busy with a construction crew having some lunch. An hour had passed, so in theory they should be gone, and hopefully nobody else was there instead.
I could see that the park was empty as I approached.
No goannas today, but I did hear a water dragon plop in to the creek. 
A nice quick find to finish off this pleasant little series.
Most enjoyable way to spend an hour on the geocycle thanks. [^]
