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 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Not even a cache, just rubbish at this point in desperate need of replacing. Nearly tempted to just throw it out myself.
Don’t like the dumped computer and gloves in the cache

In need of arching as owner hasn’t been active since 2015, cache resembles trash more than a cache. Not fun at all to find.
Another quick park and grab. Container damaged and log book wet. Photo taken if required. Needs maintenance.
Really? Yuck. Wet and disgusting again.
Desperately needs maintenance or archiving and removing. No thanks for the hunt this time.

We are on a five day holiday to the Central Coast, staying at the NRMA/Big4 Ocean Beach Holiday Resort (caravan Park) in Umina Beach. Looking to do some of the many Central Coast Adventure Labs, visit some previously solved Puzzle/Mystery cache GZs, and to collect any other caches we come across during our daily travels. Photos will be uploaded to logs on our return to home base.
Today we visited Empire Bay, Kincumber South, Avoca Beach, Copacabana, North Avoca, Terrigal, MacMasters Beach, Bouddi, and Killcare Heights. Completed two Adventure Labs, and partly completed another, and collected a variety of other caches, including an EarthCache, a MultiCache, and numerous Traditional caches. This was the 22nd of 25 finds for the day (day 2), and 27th find of the holiday.
Stopped at this one on our way back from some walks in the Bouddi National Park. The cache was a quick find, but it's in a terrible state, and the logbook is soggy and unsignable. There's not much left of the actual container, and it's just wrapped up in a plastic bag, so it needs some urgent TLC. TFTC creepi.

A quick roadside find on the way to a night hike to Maitland Bay. The container is trashed and full of water.
Thanks for the cache
Thanks for the cache
MY FIRST FIND!!! Great find kinda of scary to pick up (spiders) also a really great bush walk
Doing this instead of Boxing Day shopping, not disappointed , don’t love shopping
Second day of caching at the central coast. Today it's Terrigal and Boudhi national Park. A bit more overcast, but still warm and humid. Early start makes it easier for sure.

The box was broken but it was still fun, I just took a pin in exchange for a cool pencil rubber
Found the cache, very easy find but the cache is absolutely destroyed and needs to be replaced. It may be good to re-hide it in a location that isn’t going to be disturbed by muggles.

This was tricky we had to bush bash but we found it and not just 1 we found to an easy one and one at the correct coordinates
Found with Shaneo58, while down at the Central Coast, trying to do a Adventure Lab in the area. We were not allowed into Bouddi NP in areas as the helicopter was dropping stuff in for today and tomorrow. The Gz was out by 15 metres, and cache in need of fixing.
Cache replaced as found. **Thanks For The Cache** creepi.
This is the 2nd cache of 9 for today making a grand total of 3177 at 9:15:00 AM on ThursdayJun2021

Easy find, does still need to be replaced I’ll bring a fresh container next time!
I have replaced the cache with a new one, it is a grey small systema in the fork of a small tree.
This cache needs maintenance before it disappears, the remains of the container are broken on the ground and contents placed in a plastic bag, which NPWS could throw away.
TFTC,
3rd off 3 finds for the day.
In need of some TLC.
Tent camping at Putty Beach for 2 nights and catching up with an Outdoor Activities Group who I have not seen for over 30 years.
Today I needed to find 3 caches to lift my daily finds for the 28th to 5. A personal challenge set for me by Grub Fred.

3rd find of the day, quick find after reading logs. Extracted damp log book from remains in the plastic bag, stamped log and replaced. Thanks to creepi, needs maintenance.
Once we read the description and found the path it was a quick find. Box in a bag now as it is broken and we signed the log the best we could as it’s wet. Nice bit of history about the path, TFTC
Found during our little break away in a new area to us.
After a bit of bush bashing, where my coords led me. Took the obvious track and quick find
Box is broken, contents wet
Thanks

Looked for longer than we should have and we found the cache that as others have said needs replacing
Met up with teamMerlin and TARDIS 0061 back in Kenthurst area for a day in the Central Coast to try to do the three Adventure Lab caches. After doing the Wreck of the Maitland we stopped at this one but it has been damaged a long while ago as per previous finders
The log book made me feel that I didn't want to touch it.

Meet up with TARDIS 0061 and phlphotos for an afternoon caching on the Central Coast to find some adventure labs and mystery caches. Visited Bouddi National Park first and after completing the nearby Wreck of the Maitland Adventure Lab we stopped at this cache. Unfortunately this cache is in desperate need of some TLC - container is broken, full of water and the logbook is now a slippery mess. We took some photos of what was found, but hopefully this cache can be fixed ASAP. Thanks for the cache creepi.

Found it but cashe needs urgent repair as completely smashed and logbook is wet.
Lookout was amazing and worth the walk

Struggled to find this one but after needing more of a hint and looking through previous logs I realised it's in much need of maintenance so it was a pretty half ar*ed search the last 5 mins I was there...I would love to go back and try following the old overgrown walking trail though...As well as actually find the cache.
Found the remains of this cache, as others have said the container is destroyed and totally waterlogged. No point trying to sign the log
Parked next to the good trail into the bush here. Looked around where the co-ords pointed me, went out to the road and looked along the roadside, had a look down the trail, but couldn't see any cache. Checked out the logs and it sounds like the cache is in bad shape. I must admit my searching was only half-hearted after checking out the logs, but still this is a DNF in the end. It looks like the cache owner hasn't been caching for years, so I figure this cache is not going to be maintained any time soon
CO were off, stick to the faint track. Container is totalled, lid completely snapped in half. Put it back upside down log dry but everything else full of water.
#6128 (4 of 7 today)
Headed up to the Central Coast for some caching today. Started a little later than I’d have liked, which restricted the number of finds. But I did deliberately target the three caches on Blackwell Mount to start with - that initial walk up is a tad steep.
Then grabbed a few others before heading home.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Went around and around in circles for a while before I spotted the largely uncovered cache. Someone had cleverly turned it upside down, and as a result the contents were nice and dry. Unfortunately, the log is largely a solid mass. But I still managed to sign it. Then replaced - again upside down.
This does need a new container, though.

Nice easy find off the road, cache needs some maintenance though. The lid is broken and everything inside is soaked wet and you can't sign the log. Took nothing, left nothing. Thanks for the hunt. Matt and Court
Nice little hide but like many others have logged it is damaged and filled with water. Was unable to write name on paper. Needs maintenance ASAP please
We were down here for a family lunch. Stopped by on the way out. Found the big container easily enough but the lid was broken and the container is soaked and so is the log. Managed to partially write my name. TFTC
My 7 y.o. son and I found this today. The lid is badly damaged and the container was full of water. We poured out the water, but the ziplock bag was also damaged and the log book very wet. Sadly we didn't have time to dry it out but we replaced the ziplock bag. It coddle do with a proper dry out and a new lid. Didn't make it to the lookout, but we did some some views on the way back and it's a really lovely place. TFTC.
Found. After this weekend's record Rainfall the broken lid meant the container was half full of water
Drained and replaced. Unfortunately the logbook is also soaked. Found with winsonderrrr

Glorious Spring day, perfect for some caching. Took awhile, with a man and his car just metres away. Very obvious in the end, my gps had me a bit off. Cache needs replacing with broken lid, going to get wet if it ever rains. TFTC
Traveling South to a friends engagement party. we just had to stop for this cache. SL TNLN.Thank you very much for this cache,
Needs some maintenance, pens dont work and container not watertight. Didnt have a spare to leave sorry. Just did the trip out to Bullimah Spur...thx
