I appreciate the good intentions of SWAG Gang in bringing the situation regarding this cache to the attention of the geocaching community.
Logging information regarding a cache is certainly to be encouraged and is a great way to alert the community to an issue with a cache. However, making direct contact with the CO via email/message and acquainting them of your observation AND/OR logging a 'Needs Maintenance" log on the cache page is the preferable first step. Please only use the 'Needs Archive' log when there are serious problems with the cache or its location, or if the CO has not responded to a 'Needs Maintenance' log.
Posting a 'Needs Maintenance' log on the cache page notifies both the geocaching community as well as the cache owner. This log adds an attribute to the page (looks like a colored cross) to alert other geocachers of the needed repairs. Needs Maintenance logs are not forwarded to reviewers, but they are the first step in the Archive process.
If the geocache has not been found for a reasonable amount of time and the cache owner has not reacted to a "Needs Maintenance" log, then that is time to post a "Needs Archived" log on the listing. Please read the Help Centre article: [When a cache needs maintenance](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=107&pgid=434
**A recent Needs Maintenance log has not actually been placed on this cache. so I am placing one with this log.**

What is wrong with this area?
So many DNF’s. This one has DNF’s going back a long way. I’m submitting it for review as no owner maintenance has taken place.

Thanks for giving a home to my sister's cache after it's trip round the world. We managed it just a few weeks short of a year and in time for Xanthe's birthday!
A quick find and a good sized cache. I dropped off the TB 'Xanthe's Duck Wrath'. I picked it up in the UK and the owner wanted it to go to "a cache in the Seven Hills West area" for their sister to pick up. It was nice to find a cache that actually was a real small sized cache to place the TB in. TFTC contactpete.
Thanking goldenwattle for getting the duck this far. It had travelled all the way from the UK to meet up with my sister and cousin of my geokids. Please leave the duck so they can collect. They've been told so hopefully will be along soon.
My sister and I seem to be following the trail of the Lawrence family today! Happy hunting!!!
Super easy once you know where you are. My sister and I are having a great day in the sun today!!
Took longer to add fresh batteries to the gps before getting out of the car than actually completing caching duties.
Quick find but we felt we were a little exposed by some nearby houses. TNLNSL. TFTC.
Found it on the 2nd July - nice easy find too. Placed it back where we found it exactly.
Walking past today (15th July) I checked and noticed it is now missing.

Nice and easy one. Parked right near GZ, walked over and spotted the cache. I chose my moment to grab it, as there were muggles across the road, but they didn't seem to notice me. Signed, replaced, got out of there. TFTC

Another day on my way to work. Stopped by the roadside, and at first started looking in wrong spot. I had read the description for another cache... Once realising my mistake it was an easy find.

What a great place for a cache except all the surrounding houses make you feel exposed..........
Cache was visible from a few metres away so I reinstated the camouflage. Should be a lot better and it was only time until it got muggled
Thanks for the cache
And coords are also pretty good

Found it my first one on my own didn't have anything to trade tho thank you for the fun cords spot on
Find number.... 3478... but technically earlier.
A rather late log, as we had some how missed this one in our list of logs and our trip to Port Macquarie after the Easter long weekend. The cache was well covered and in good condition.
Thanks contactpete for placing this cache.

The weather today retained does not match this cache name. Oops, the container was exposed and open with contents scattered about. We gathered it all together and replaced and increased camo. Might be a good idea to keep on this one as a cache raider may be onto it. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
Team Omam from the Netherlands has only one aunt left. And as she will have her 100th birthday early February, we decided to join the birthday party. But …., she lives in Sydney Australia! An excellent opportunity for us to explore this continent once again and find Geocaches along the way. We will do a 3.5 weeks trip! At places where we will stay for a few days (Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney and Darwin), we will organize Meet and Greet events. We will try to find mainly caches with high favorite points, caches from 2000 and 2001, earth caches, webcam caches, virtuals and letter box hybrids.

This was the only find for the day. Given the oppressive weather, I wanted a quick and easy find. I am slowly finding the caches in this area so this was the best option. I parked within 10 m of GZ but hadn't realised it. I saw the area and regretted wearing sandals. As I got out of the car and looked at my phone, I realised I was very close and soon spotted the camo.

Super easy. First team to find it in 2016! Put a dollar inside 
happy new year!
happy new year!Super dooper easy find. Great one for the geokids. Checked our trackables in as well.
Quick find and just as well, near GZ was a nest of the biggest ants I have ever seen. TFTC
Second one for us today. Master Q spotted this one straight away as it wasn't fully covered. A shame I left my TB at home as it would have been a perfect cache for it.
Lovely park.

I felt a bit exposed at GZ with the nearby houses looking-on but, thankfully, all seemed quiet. SL TFTC
Found with Jase90 during a day out in Western Sydney in an effort to help me get closer to reaching my milestone goal of 2,000 finds at the last ever Geocaching Block Party in Seattle this August. We started over at Prospect with Madness Gateway and Sydney's Newest- Relocated. Then onto Pemulwuy for William Lawson and Veteran Hall, and then across to Blacktown for Pope's Garden, Train Spotter - Roma and URBAN SV (where we had a long chat with the Cache Owner, nice to meet you!). Back in Prospect we then found Quick park & Grab, for the streakers., For Marissa & Mel's streak, Home Sweet Home, Time to Commuicate. (is it meant to be Communicate?) and Prospect Park First Cache. Heading over to Seven Hills, Jase90 and I continued on to tackle Nice little park & grab and Snowy Reserve Cache. In Girraween we found the Former Railway Corridor Toongabbie, then in Pendle Hill we grabbed Knox's Box and our final stop out west was in Old Toongabbie where we picked up Spot the Geoduck.
On the way back home, we decided we could fit in a few more and we stopped by North Rocks and found 4,3,2,1 and Measure Up. We then finished off the day in Ryde and Eastwood with Up The Garden Path and Beanstalk respectively.
All in all, a fun day out with Jase90 and we picked up some beauties along the way. For all of the caches, I Signed Log and Took Nothing Left Nothing. A successful day out in terms of find rate! Thanks For The Caches to all of the respective Cache Owners.

Found at 11:36am with JordsAU.
JordsAU and myself were out on a day of caching trying to boost our numbers in the area's of Prospect, Blacktown and a couple of other surrounding suburbs. We started as early as possible this morning so we could obtain a decent amount of smileys. We were also heading to the footy in Moore Park later on in the afternoon which meant that we needed to be finished and to head back by 1:30pm.
I have not done any caches out this way in my 3-year Geocaching career but JordsAU had acquired a small handful over the years which meant that we needed to stick to caches unfound to the both of us. It didn't seem to prove too difficult as there were plenty around.
The weather today was stunning, barely cold in the early morning and it even became quite hot in the late morning.
'Snowy Reserve Cache' was the 13th of 19 caches we ticked off today. We parked right next to GZ and began our search, we only needed a couple of minutes to track this one down. Some interesting trinkets and toys inside but we took nothing, left nothing, we'll leave them for the kiddies.
Signed log, thanks for the cache contactpete

After finishing my chores early this afternoon, I decided to spend the afternoon caching.
After a quick search and some GPS problems found this quickly. Left a badge, key chain, and a puzzle took a small ball. Signed the log thanks for the cache

Thanks! I enjoyed it

Find #4 for me & geo-son. We were at Greystanes Creek bike track earlier & geo-son was keen for another so we came by here for a nice and easy find, geo-son is just loving our new hobby. Took nothing, left nothing, signed book & put it back as found. TFTC.

I was about to look at what seemed a promising hiding spot as I walked up, then saw the cache in an easier spot than expected.
Thanks.
