Is anything happening with this cache?
It appears to have been missing since November/December last year & despite the CO saying they were 'Going to check it now', about 3 weeks ago, there has been no further communication?

I poked in every crack. Only found a snake. Then had to run from the golfers after a massive scream. Sorry. Maybe another time. X
My legs were a bit stiff from recent exercise so I found it a bit of a struggle to get to the location of the cache.
Luckily it was a bit exposed so that I didn't have to search for long.
An interesting container that may not survive the weather for too long.

Just down in Brisabne for the day to visit the Doc and catch up with some friends. Now what to do with a bit of sparetime but find a few caches. I must admit I looked for some that were a bit easier to find today and not too far off the track. A good selection of caches mostly micro's but none too hard to find. Tftc Zane miko
Needed the hint to uncrack this one. Darned if I can spot the difference between the 2 photos, the graffiti look the same!
A nice new container, TN (even a golf ball nearby)/LN... TFTC

NurseyJuie and I had been out for an afternoon of caching and stopped by this one on our way home. The cache was easily spotted as it was out in the open. I made the grab and we signed the log. Upon trying to return the cache to its hiding spot, I realised why it was in the open: the additon of swag had meant that it was impossible to return it to its spot
Sevlagirls and I were in the area picking up some of the local caches today. We saw this relatively new one and made our way to the GZ. The cache was in plain sight and we made the retrieval through the bars. TFTC Zane Miko

I looked in the spot and couldn't find it at first but after a more detailed seach it was found.
Visited here with LHE Duo this afternoon, after they had been for a look this morning.
We got in and checked an endless amount of spots. As it would turn out after about 20 minutes looking I eventually noticed something, the clue did not entirely fit the spot, but sure enough the cache was in there, along with an extensive population of ants.
Our results were fairly similar to those of the FTF, at around 15m out on the GPSR. While signing the log I took a reading on the GPSr and these coords might get you closer (they may still not be perfect but should get you the right side of the road) S27 26.791 E153 09.937

We had spent quite a while here earlier in the day without making a find. After meeting up with OrionJ we decided to have another look since he did not have it either. It took a while and was where we had looked several times earlier. It is now in the middle of a great nest of ants. Luckily we retrieved it and added our names to the log without any ant bites. OrionJ managed to put it back without too much trouble. TFTC
How very convenient time to publish a cache: when I had just made a G&T and sat down to watch TV, waiting for a quality documentary to start. 15 seconds of pondering, the drink quickly back in the fridge, change of clothes and out.
20 mins later I arrived at the GZ to meed a pair already hunting there. Great to meet you, Minnie & Micky! [^]
We agreed on the coords and assumed GZ. They had already been in action for a while with no result. We joined forced, went through the embankments, bridge and the other side, and also on top of the bridge. None of the description nor the hint made sense to any of us so we just used logical approach by going through every nook and cranny.
After 20 mins I had already given up and mentally settled for a DNF. I was doing my final walk around and just for the sake of it checked a spot. Suddenly some features there matched the description / hint and something was peeking from a little crevice, 13 m from the GZ.
Well, can I just say that some feedback is on its way to the CO on how to improve the cache and make it longer lasting and safer. But a find is a find, anyway.
Log signed for a joint *FTF* at 9:05 pm, "cache" wiggled back and things returned back as they were. TFTC, Another bored person.

just letting everyone know that this Geocache will not be were it says as Im changing what bag everything is in and it may take me a maximum of 5 days to replace the bags
Saw the notification for this one pop up on the email and headed out straight away. It was only 700metres away from where I was!!!!
We got to GZ and the iphone seemed to point us in one spot but none of the desciption or hint made any sense. After about 20 mins of searching we had decided that we couldn't find it and were just about to head off when Ttimdad arrived so we decided to hunt together for a possible joint FTF. This would be our first FTF so I wasn't too keen to leave anyway. We searched either side of the bridge and the troll was nowhere to be found luckily.
After another longer search together we had decided that a joint DNF was in order. Ttimdad did a last sweep of the area and the all familiar "I think I found it!" came from the other side of the bridge, some 13m from co-ords.
Cache removed from GZ. Not sure how long it will last being the way it is though. Log signed for a joint FTF at 9.05pm. Nothing taken so nothing left. Repacked and replaced by Ttimdad. Lovely to meet up with another cacher out in the field.
TFTC another bored person but definately needs some maintenance.
