Hi azmate22,The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, or it may not but in the absence of the cache owner performing maintenance and/or disabling the cache to check it out, 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 4 weeks) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 4 weeks to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.Ngaambul - Matt

With a little neighbourly help, we had some success! Container (and possibly exact location) has changed a little from the description in last activity so don’t be tricked! Have a good look around!
 
04-Jun-23
Found it
 
22-May-23
Checked on the cache and found it in an easy to access location and also nice and dry. However the hint is a bit misleading - nothing to do with "logs". It is at the base of a large 3 trunked tree, placed standing up so that water doesn't get in the tube with a piece of branch concealing it, but you can actually see the lid if you look carefully.
 
14-Apr-23
Went back a couple of times to try and find this one but were un able to locate it at all. Very overgrown also and didn't want to rummage in the long grass and leaf litter..
 
21-Jan-23
Agree, it’s wet

A break in the weather this afternoon meant we could cache and get less wet.... Samuel wasn't stumped by this, and had it quickly. It's quite waterlogged though, and needs replacement.... TFTC
 
17-Jan-23
Cache is very wet, needs replacement.
 
16-Jan-23
After a bit of a walk around here, we spotted the cache, its a sneaky hide, but its also a very damp spot, the cache is too wet to sign, replaced in the same spot as I found it, hopefully it won't get much wetter... Might need some CO attention

Companions: None
Muggles: None
Weather: Grey summer afternoon
Cache condition: Good

It was threatening storms so we didn’t plan anything. As an alternative I decided to go for a walk (not good at just sitting around). I headed up to this little park where I quickly spotted the likely hiding spot - TNLNSL TFTC

Found with the help of Mrs BillHill, doing some caching around the Port Macquarie area where we are staying for 3 nights. a bit weird as it almost looks like private property, cache found 10 metres from GZ.
Log signed and caches replaced as found.

**Thanks For The Cache** azmate22.

This is the 10th cache of 12 for today.
Cache number 2693 at 4:27:00 PM on Thu 22Oct2020
 
31-Aug-20
Cheryl found this one.

If the log sheet is small we may sign as CG. We also visit any trackables that may be travelling along with us for mileage.

Lots of thanks to azmate22 & Loryn87 for placing the cache and adding to our caching adventures.
 
16-Aug-20
Yes, this hide might be in a Public Reserve but seeing as it is overlooked completely by houses where the boundaries of private property are not known it is impossible to find without being seen and/or challenged by the residents. Will pass this one up.

On a stroll around the toun today,
I stopped by this little park.
And after a few minutes of poking around found nothing cachelike Sad
Then the muggles started appearing from everywhere [:o]
So I started pulling out a few bits of lantana,
with the excuse that I was clearing the area of weeds if anyone asked Razz

Gained me a few more minutes of looking time,
but I still couldn't find the cache [:o]
 
Quick find but contents appear to be in poor condition. Perhaps a better container is needed. TFTC!
 
29-Jul-18
After a quick search, one of the Geotwins granted this one. Logbook is a bit wet, TFTC

Last one for a small caching run thile staying with family in Wauchope on our way north. This one was found very quickly, logged and retured just as quickly. An interesting area of 'bush' in suburbia.
Thanks for the hide azmate22.
