Flushed away Gwandalan, New South Wales, Australia
By knot just scouts on 17-Feb-15. Waypoint GC5MZZP

As there's been no cache to find for a long time, and it appears to have been abandoned, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

knot just scouts

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 you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 30 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

Checked on cache today and could not find any sign of the container.

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

Cache hasn’t been found out maintained in well over 12 months despite cachers looking for it

Cache is missing from location. I found where it should have been but is now missing

Found the spot where I believe it was meant to be, but cache has now gone.

We goind the GZ.
A local resident agreed and acknowledged we were onto it, but wasn’t surprised it was missing

Nice easy find today, didn’t have a pen so couldn’t sign the log! Thanks for the hunt! Matt and Court

Cool hide. no need for belly crawling! TFTC

I was in the area today seeking out caches with the fingerprint or footprint clue in the current Mystery at the Museum promotion. Reading the description and hint beforehand, I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but yes, glad none of the muggle neighbours appeared to be watching as I got down on my belly to retrieve and replace it. As others have mentioned, the original log strip is completely full and the piece of paper Kavaju added is now also full.

Thanks for the hide.

Found on a nice winter day doing the rounds in the area near Swansea. Yes the paper is full now. Thanks For The Cache knot just scouts

The girls droped off today, one due to feelling slightly off the other needing retail therapy, the boys went out to get the caches on the other penninsula. Another good afternoon no DNF's today, now to head home and see the damage to the credit card.

We set up camp at Mannering Park and were well positioned so we could head out and do some caching. We teamed up with the Snakepiters and enjoyed the find in this scenic area. Thanks to knot just scouts for hiding this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Found it

catching up on some VERY backlogged logging while in isolation. found with banj5150 (banj ward), log has been dated back to when it was found. tftc

Found with Beary_Unicorns on a very hot Saturday morning, visited trackables, tftc

Like my previous log from other cache, I really feel uncomfortable sneaking around so close to houses. I gave it a try and got the cache very quickly before someone arrived. Absolutely no space on logbook to sign. I left a tiny piece of paper with my name & date.
Thanks Knot just scots

Logbook completely full. Needs replacement.

Got it

Needs a new log

Found with dlturner today but could not sign as log is full. Dlturner has put a photo on her log as proof of find

CO needs to replace the log.

Found could not log log full.

Out and about caching in the area with Tassie Trekkers after attending the OzGeoMuster over Easter in Morisset and this was one we found. A clever hide. TFTC

While still staying at Morisset we travelled around the area with whitewebbs collecting a few caches and this was one of them.

An easy find at GZ.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

15,649. Found during the OZGeomuster 2018 with minniek and Family - and today's addition to the car was Albida33.

Mega Day 3 - Headed out early after a yummy Scout-supplied Bacon & Egg Roll. Our aim was a loop of the lake targeting a selection of caches. First find of the day. Parked nice and close and we soon came up with the find. Signed the log, replaced the cache, and headed off to the next one.

Thanks to all of the COs for their caches !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Headed up to the OZGeomuster Mega from Goulburn. Early start again for day 3. All puzzles solved prior and caches quickly found today unless otherwise mentioned. Signed log as AMF or MAFF (depending on who signed) for myself, fitzy_1965 and the geokids (B0tmun, Lovetherabbitohs, DeathKiller & my_name_jeff_1). Albida33 was our car companion today.

Cache easily found after a muggle drove in their driveway. Log was unable to be signed as it is full. Photo attached of log as proof.

Oz Geo Muster weekend Easter 2018. Day 3. Today I headed out with Fitzy_1965 and Minnek for a lap around Lake Macquarie and lots of caching in the bright sunny heat of the central coast.

Thanks.

Last day for us at the Mega. What fun we have had. Meeting new people catching up with old people (like YoungOldFella). Tonight went off with a bang, but today we had unfinished business. We had a list of at least 20 more caches to find. We are not leaving the Hunter without more smilies!

Well that was undignified and a bit different. Scratched our signature in pink on a full slippery log sheet

Thanks knot just scouts

Luckily it was Easter Sunday so there was no construction happening today. Quick find but very creative. TFTC!!! log book full so i took a picture. #1273

That was a bit different! Log is full but there are faded spots here and there.

Grabbing caches as we're attending the Oz Mega. Perfect weather. The lol book is full, couldn't write, but took a picture if you need it. TFTC

thought id quickly grab this cache before school, TFTC

Found with my Dad today....

Find #1901
We had the morning free so dropped back to the Gwandalan area, we managed 7 finds between showers. We would have found a handful of trigs as well, if the GPSr could read a zipfile, or maybe if I unzipped it first!
Funny there are heaps of beautiful waterfront hides just around the corner.... Why am I on my hands and knees in a drain?? Thanks for the smiley though....

Little hard

Once you know where to look you see it straight away . Awesome first one . Now I’m hooked

Had to trust the GPS rather than instinct on this one. All good in the end. TFTC

when I arrived at GZ for this cache this afternoon I thought this can't be right so drove down closer to the water but my gps was saying that was wrong so I drove back to the cul de sac and read some previous logs. I have never found a cache in a place like that before, i wonder what the neighbours think about people on their hands and knees or in my case bottoms looking through that structure. Thanks for the cache knot just scouts tnln sl

Parked right on GZ. No wet feet, knees or bum! Quick retrieval, log signed, replaced, and on our way! For next finders, please replace log in lid as too hard to get out otherwise. TFTC knot just scouts

Nice hide, you would never know the cache would be there. Good coords helped. Also talking to a neighbour TFTC

Nice find

We're out geocaching for my birthday. The whole tribe is here including the Geodog. TFTC.

Didn't have tweesers and couldn't sign log.

Found with ThePlumb01, neighbours walked past as we were signing log. But put it back safely

Great find. TFTC

Nice day to come down and do the Summo series. Good coords led me to the right spot for a quick retrieval. Getting it back in place was a bit tricky, especially with a full tummy as we had just had lunch. All good in the end. Thanks knot just scouts.

Stopped where the car GPS told me. No, this can't be right - it's private property. No it's not!! Down on hands and knees -yes, there it is! Got it!! Then putting it back.......

It's not common with these containers in these locations.We stopped the car as close to GZ we coiuld and opened the passenger door. Hagar crawled iin th egrass and soon found the container. Repalcing it was a different story - but it all went well.

Found it. Tftc

Found with 3ferrets a few days ago and forgot to log it! Cool hidey hole. SLTFTC!

Found it on hand knees. !!!

Great little hide. Still space for names on the small scroll. (Write Small)!

Out and about today exploring the northern end of the Central Coast geo-style. I haven't been to Gwandalan before, so it was interesting having a drive around the place before/after doing this cache. A quick find here but it took a bit more effort to extract (and subsequently replace) the log. Thanks to 1st Gwandalan Scouts and jonesy65 for an "interesting" hide.

??

Great little find. Good place to hide.

Thanks for a random hide!

Quick grab, thankfully no crawling or wet feet. TFTC cheers

Found it
Didn't get wet

Found by Henry and Zoe

Henry and Zoe and family found their first geocache! Thanks!

Another sunny day is another day to go geocaching.
A quick find here.
Thanks for the cache.

Had an errand to run in Gwandalyn today so figured it was a good opportunity to grab a couple of caches.
Despite a muggle jogging back and forth past GZ this was a simple find - what wasn't simple was getting the log from the bison... I set it back in the lid to ease the pain for the next finder.
Thanks for the hide!

"Flushed away" makes this one easy to find.
Still nice to see the water views around the area.
Thankyou

Little miss thought it was very cute. Ta!

But exposed out in the street when getting this one!

6969 Cache Found

The Apprentice Geo Dawgand I headed up the Thin Black Line this morning towards Gwandalan under instructions of the Geo daughter and send on a quest to buy mixing bowls for her 60 year old Sunbeam Mix Master. After successfully completing the mission it was on to find a few caches in the area for oyr own enjoyment. Felt just a little bit strange finding this cache, A strange man and his dog peering into a stormwater drain in a suburbian street, But all good in the end

Thanks for the great cache and adventure knot just scouts

Geoboy was geared up for this one. TFTC

When I first approached GZ, I spotted the only likely hiding spot and thought "surely not.." but sure enough, it was there! Thought I was going to be sprung by the neighbours but a nice and easy retrieval meant for a quick getaway
Thanks for the cache!

#4423

Decided to attack some of the caches around the Lake Macquarie area and found 17. Some of the caches we were able to get the GEOLUX right up close, while some we had to walk. Had a great day out but had to call the day early when the rain set in.

TFTC knot just scouts

A quick find as there were no muggles about. Cache was in good condition. TFTC knot just scouts. [1801]

Out today with darkside dan. today we had a day exploring the lakes around the central coast. Unlike yesterday we didnt get the numbers but the quality of the caches was greater. We ended up getting 27 caches and had a great time together. Thanks for the caches

A quick find with a guy watching us from his house

Found with Mr Roo as part of a 2 day, 600km, 20 hour, 109 cache road trip. Mmmm, smells good.

Good spot picked by the scouts. Nicely placed and the first placed looked was not the right one. We initially headed out to the stairs at the waters edge (good spot for one) but this was off the crescent.

Strange spot for a cache but their all fun
Tftc

Night caching with TOMBI saw us heading down to the Gwandalan Peninsula. We thought this one might have been in the park surrounding the lake. so we were a little bit surprised when the car GPS said we had driven past it. So we did a u turn in the cul-de-sac and parked near the final location. when we hoped out there was really only one place it could be but we thought that it was not a very good place for a cache. but sure enough there is was. Signed in the car and returned to its home we were on our way again. TFTC

Found on a short night caching run with Orrsome86 out on this peninsular. After finding Community Pride we headed over to this cache and were really surprised by it's apparent location. There was one spot I thought it should not be, but sure enough it was there. It is well sealed and secured, so should last a long time. Retrieval was tricky, so I let Orrsome do that. I put it back. Afterwards we went and found the home of two lovely looking scaly breasted lorikeets, before heading home.
Thanks for the interesting hide and up close bird watching experience!

First day of our break up here.
Not what we were expecting but easy enough.

The little people got to it a lot easier than I could. TFTC

I was a bit wary of how wet this would be today, but it only took a pair of wet knees to spot the cache and log it. Thanks for the hide, no-one seemed too interested in what I was doing playing around the drains.

2nd to found with wolfboylost

Found after quickish search

**FTF** Woohoo an FTF for my 900th cache. A quick find in a much less adventurous cache experience than I had envisaged. Slightly disappointed lol. A cool placement though. Today is day 63 in my present streak of a planned 150. TNLN TFTC
