###Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.
I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner.

The cache owner needs to:

* Take action to restore the cache or address any issues such as correcting the D/T rating.
* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log
* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done, and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute which is present.

Otherwise :
* Post a Note Log to request more time if necessary, or provide other information..
**Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this, that is for use only **when you actually do something to repair the cache**.

Alternatively:

* Archive the cache, and remove any remaining geo-litter from the site.

In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page to await owner action by GeoMonster10 and to take it off the playing board to prevent further geocaching community inconvenience.
[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)
**I will check back in 30 days** to see that action has been by the CO.
If nothing has happened, I will assume that the cache has been abandoned and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache.
*Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*

The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is there, and in good condition, waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

Please see [my profile page](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u=Balayang) for additional information.
Thank you

Ok, there are 4 locations here which fit the hint. Had a good scratch and look around to no reveal.

Had a good look around to where gz was a check the other hint areas too- just in case. If it’s still here might need a different rating or maybe I need my glasses !

Had a look around couldn't find but not giving up will come back in better light

Don't know what's going on here, the CO says the cache is still in place but a previous finder says it's gone ???

We gave the hint feature at the calculated coordinates a good lookover on our DNF visit on 21/10/2020 and found nothing cache-like. The cache hasn't been found for well over a year (17 months), and it's only a D1.5 so shouldn't be too difficult to locate. We will keep watching the listing for any new "found it" logs to appear before returning to GZ for another look.

Had a good look around but no luck ️ been to the weir on many occasions but never realised this garden was up above it.

I can confirm cache is gone

Still in place

Taking off-line as (to my knowledge) flood waters have exceeded level of the cache will get out to check on it as soon as we are given the all clear

No luck today

We have travelled from Sydney’s Northern Beaches to Emu Plains for a short 4 day caching holiday, staying in a park cabin at the Ingenia Nepean River BIG4 Holiday Park at Emu Plains, and are planning to explore the areas around Emu Plains, Penrith, Glenmore Park, Cranebrook, Castlereagh, Lapstone, Glenbrook, and Blaxland. Will be concentrating our efforts on collecting the Glenmore Park Puzzle GeoArt and the Puzzled Hearts GeoArt caches, all of which we had solved before leaving home, and also hoping to complete the local Adventure Labs along the way.

No luck for us today at final GZ. Found the hint feature, but it was cacheless, so we moved on to better prospects.

Have co-ordinates, but looks like there is a function on at GZ. Will be back at another time

I was in the area with [@coybear2000](http://coord.info/PR9547H) to pick up car after servicing and we decided to go for a short walk and a cache. We arrived at the listed co-ords, disturbing the sleeping homeless person in the gazebo. We worked out the co-ords and headed to GZ. Started searching, then checked the hint and realized we must be in the right spot. Searched more, and read a few previous logs. Expanded area - there are four potential places that agreed with the hint. Still no luck, so we decided to move on.

Was in the area with [@trodectus](http://coord.info/PR8JTE0) to pick up car after being serviced. Walked to WP and obtained info, did calcs and headed off to GZ. On arrival there were a few places to search, so we started, after no luck, we looked at the hint and there were 3 possible hides, searched these and surrounding areas but no luck today. Sky looked threatening, so we headed off to try another cache for a find.

was put offline due to flooding just realized i hadnt republished

due to flooding the area is currently unsafe... will be back up once flooding goes down and i can check on it safely

It was the day before christmas and all through the house everyone was cooking, time for me to leave the couch!
So I picked out a few caches I wanted to find,taking me to some great locations leaving the world befind.
Once I returned home all was done,now its time to relax write a few logs have a drink and sit around on my .....
Have a very merry christmas GeoMonster10,all the best in 2020!
Thanks for the cache

TFTC. Wasn't too busy being a Friday.

Tftc! I love this reserve. It is a fun place to come even on a windy day.

Found it without much trouble. A great way to spend lunch time on a glorious sunny spring day.

found

It has taken us over two years to complete this multi! We actually collected all the data way back in May 2017 and whilst we typed in the result for GZ, a large group moved into the area at GZ preventing us from making the find. We finally returned to this area on a quiet, cold Sunday morning and made a "quick, 2 year" find. TFTC

3 different spots with 3 july 2005 on it so make sure to look every where

Time for another day chasing mint tins with marj01. With a predawn start we headed from the eastern suburbs out west to Penrith. We started caching at Wallacia and made our way north through the suburbs to Jordan Springs. We had lots of finds which included trads, multis and mysteries; also some dnfs that were too well hidden for us to find or weren't there. I lost count on the number of mint tins found but there certainly wasn't an oversupply. Thanks to all the CO's for placing their caches and TFTC

Found but always have trouble extracting a log from micros so took a photo instead.

Quick park grab info grab cache
Thanks for the cache

Plenty of muggles celebrating nearby the plaque today but GZ was a quite spot away from there. I actually never knew there was more to this reserve past the gazebo. TFTC.

In Sydney from Adelaide for a holiday and getting out and about getting Solved puzzles, Multis and other rare caches close to home and further away

Nice little garden area tucked away in the suburbs. Put my hand on it in the first place I felt

#2701 got to the listed coords and soon had GZ figured and plugged into the GPSr. Headed over to GZ there was someone sitting on two of the benches one of them watched me the whole time as I went from plaque to plaque then back to the listed coords where I had a seat and read and watched until the other 2 wandered off & hot in their cars. So I started heading to GZ again this time I'm watching someone in hiviz heading where I was going I sat on the seat nearest GZ just as I sat down & started reading about the Joker again he walked in and sat at the other seat. I sat there reading about the Joker as many times as I thought I was able too without being too suspicious then got up and headed back to the car. As I turned around to go down the lower track I saw him get up I thought good. But then a family of 4 started heading there damn. So I continued on the lower track read a couple of signs then I climbed the embankment to see the children running around and the parents calling to go, but hurry up. As I got there cool the place to myself quickly grabbed the cache

With cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for bringing me to the area and thanks for placing the cache GeoMonster10

A day trip west brought us to the river

A lovely walk in a very pretty garden.

After collecting the required info a short walk took us to GZ. Even after a good look we all missed it on the first pass !

Tftc

A find while on our outing out west. Got the digits for GZ easily but somehow the three of us felt and looked for the sneaky little sucker and missed it! Amazing how these ones always get me! The joke was on us! Nice gardens. TFTC

A great little multi. Took a while to zero in on the spot. OCW TB & BM. TFTC GeoMonster10

A hot and almost muggle-free Boxing Day around Penrith. A lovely little park that put all fears that we would meet up with the evil Joker out of our minds. Did our calcuaktions and then made our way to a shady spot perfect for log signing. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

After doing another multi on the river I decided to walk to this one as it was only 560 metres away. It was a nice stroll along the path and I made it to the rotunda just as the heavens opened. I was able to gather the information while the rain came down and once it stopped I headed for GZ.

A false start but then I corrected to the right spot and the cache was soon in hand.

Once the log was signed all was returned as found.

TFTC GeoMonster10

new log good to go again

Solved it on a previous visit but gz was muggle central so had to leave without searching. Back today to get smiley in a quiet evening. Log is full but attempted to leave name. Tftc

Another easy multi in a nice park with a quick find in a wonderful garden area.
Quite late in the day so not many people were about.
Signed in the last blank spot on the log.

Nice quick little multi. Tftc

Nice quick little multi. Once at GZ fou d pretty quickly TFTC

I must be going cache blind. Looked straight past it many times before I eventually found it. Beautiful gardens. TFTC

Another easy multi, lovin it!

A quick and easy multi in a nice park.

SL TFTC

This was a nice simple little multi and thankfully we chose the correct level to check out first. With both the co-ords and the hint put together, there was really only one place to look seriously. The container was found quickly, log was signed in the shade, all was returned to its hiding position. Then it was an easy walk back to the geo vehicle to go for the next find. Thanks to GeoMonster10 for bringing us to this lovely park area by placing this cache.

We Love multicaches! and this one was perfect for the kids to work out. Good joint effort by Jaz and Javi

A little difficult, the hint matches four locations, but TFTC

I've run out of nearby traditional hides and so I had a look to see if there were any simple multi's in the vicinity. This one popped up, don't know why I hadn't attempted it before. Took only one geodog with me for the find. SL #3211 on streak day #1830 TFTC

It was such a pleasant day that we thought we'd take an extended lunch and attempt this cache.

After grabbing the information, we took a stroll to GZ where YGAT found the cache in a spot I'd already searched.

Nice little multi, thanks GeoMonster10.

This was a nice straightforward multi and in a lovely spot we hadn't really explored before even though we've been to the nearby club a few times. SL TFTC

I had the day in Penrith for work so took the opportunity to grab a few caches after I finished work. This was a nice simple offset multi that had me reflecting on school day rowing on this river.

Thanks

Cound not fine

13031. Found during a wet afternoon meander around the Penrith region.

Lol - one of those Multi's where a wrong answer can send you a long way wrong ! After looking at a particular "GZ" with no luck I re-looked at me calcs and realised my error ! Once at my 'new' GZ it was a quick find. Signed the log, returned the cache, and it was off to the next one.

Thanks GeoMonster10 !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Found it with my love

An easy find thanks.

In Penrith for hearing test this morning, so we planned a few caches whilst over this way. This was a quick easy find in a very pleasant spot. TFTC

After much searching geo-kid was victorious. And then the pen decided to play up. TFTC

Had to come to Sydney today to pick up a purchase so we decided to explore and grab a few caches. This was a quick find. Excited to get this one to claim my souvenir this weekend. Did make an error in my initial calculations. Fortunately we used the 'check with geowife' as backup TFTC

#3222 (4 of 5 today)

Full log to follow

A quick find once we realised there were 2 plaques with the same date. A lovely area. Thanks for bringing us here.

Out with JJCC on an afternoon cache run around Penrith finding a total of nine caches.

Parking nearby we walked over towards the posted coordinates. As the pergola was fully occupied, we took a photograph of the needed plaque and moved away in order to work out the required information. On successfully working out the coordinates for GZ we walked the short distance and once arrived made a very quick find of the very small container. With the cache safely in hand, we both signed the log before replacing as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition.

Next stop Explorers Memorial.

Ten TBs visited for the mileage - Bob geoMinion, Dave geoMinion, Evil geoMinion, Jerry geoMinion, Larry geoMinion, Salute to the Bush Fire Brigades, Stuart geoMinion, The Ring, Vanlith The Youngling.
TFTC GeoMonster03.

Out with Team Merlin around Penrith

With coordinates in hand we parked near by and walked towards GZ. Reaching GZ we acquired all needed information for the final coordinates. With the new location we walked the short distance. We then made a quick find of a very small cache. With the cache in hand, we both signed the log before replacing as found. Both the log and cache container are in good condition.
This cache is the second of nine.

Came here once before but couldn't grab it as the muggle assent going anywhere, but today I'm back. Lovely peaceful location. TFTC

Nice quick find even in the dark after collecting the clues peaceful river walk at night. Thanks.

After dropping Mel and lil Emily at a brunch nearby with the girls, so I got a leave pass for a bit of caching. I decided to give this one a go as it was at a part of the park here I hadn't visited before. The WP was easily spotted and after some maths, soon started to the final. Wow...what a nice part of this park area...after so many years living here previously, never knew this existed. A great spot, and luckily I had a caching kit with me for a caching tool to grab the log! TFTC

Back in town for a week or so and this one green square on the other side of the free way was saying I need to be converted into a smiley.
I have been down here before but not to the WPT where the info was gathered and then off to the short walk to GZ where the little fellah was soon found, signed and back to the White Beast and on to the next on my short list today.
I thought there were some strange guys in this park today but I may be an little paranoid as they did not cause any problems when they moved closer to my location. I don't trust too many people these days.
Lovely area for a cache and I enjoyed this nice little multi not like the one across the river which I will not even think about doing.
Thanks GeoMonster10 for placing this guy.

A nice simple multi where the family could easily do it! TFTC

Streak Day #1001 - Met up with dave8153 after work to attempt this multi, nice quick find. TFTC

Found with snoopy1976 TFTC

This was a quick well explained multi in a beautiful area. Got required numbers and made a quick find. Thanks for showing me this area. Tftc

The geo-widow had a shopping date with a girlfriend in Penrith so I tagged along ... at least for the getting there bit, because then I went caching in an area I have only minimally touched in the past ... around Cranebrook, Londonderry and Castlereagh. But first I took the opportunity to head to Weir Reserve to grab a couple of newish hides there.

This multi took me to a part of the reserve I haven't been, and it must certainly be a popular spot for parties/gatherings because even at 11am on a Saturday, there were already 2 or 3 groups scattered around doing their thing. One group was even where I had to go to gather the required info, so I took a quick photo of the plaque and then moved away to sort through what I had to do with the information it contained. That done, I headed to GZ and luckily, I was out of the vision of the other groups and so was able to make a quick find thanks to the hint.

Thanks for a nicely put together GeoMonster, which I enjoyed doing.

#4,102

Second find for the day. Easy little multi to work out, and a quick find once I had the final coordinates.

Thanks

Nice simple multi as I Wondering around after returning a replacement for my broken car engine. Detoured to this one near the station and made a fairly quick find. Tftc tnln surprised river was flowing so well but I guess it is controlled by dams.

Completed these two hides by the same CO before a first aid course in Penrith today.
Flash photo of plaque then it was back to the car away from mozzies and had a GZ worked out soon afterwards, CIH in the first place to look, thanks geomonster10

My first found multi cache. And 4th cache for the day.
Found by dragoseraker and butanic panda

Decided the end todays caching spree with this one, fairly easy despite the mozzies and nice scenery too despite the rain.

Found with Dragoseraker TFTC

Met up with Lucky1955 and phlphotos on a warm Sunday afternoon. Lucky had completed the puzzle and all that was needed was to wait for Sir Phil. I was standing in front of the clue, but Sir Phil had the best idea for where the container would be...tftc.

On an afternoon meet with Alnic39 and Phlphotos at this park it was an opportunity to gather the information and take the short stroll to GZ and sign the log in company. tftc

Just spent the day out at mt Wilson canyoning. Only I couldn't stop to find a cache out there as I had a car load of muggles with me.
This one wad nicely placed for me to find after dropping my passengers off.
Quickly solved, but almost thought it was muggled already as the hint matched two places.
Thanks for the cache.

Find Number 3361

The Booo's found this cache!

Gathered the needed information at Waypoint 1 and a short stroll later had the cache in hand, signed the log and returned it for the the next searcher.

Thanks GeoMonster10 for placing this cache

#3493- FTF with bikerbuddy and NickoHeap at 1.30pm.
After a bit of a busy morning, we had to pick NickoHeap up from an early finishing day at school, and he was hot to trot for a driving lesson on his way home. We decided to nick down to Penrith and give him a bit of an extra drive with some new experiences, being on the highway for one.
I know this park because I used to have a cache not far from here, though I must confess to not knowing of this plaque. It is a beautiful spot for this activity though. Bikerbuddy made the calculations, with U.S. Checking as we did so.
This was a deadly simple multi, and again, I just don't understand why multi's are generally so unloved. On arrival at GZ, the co-odds were good, but the hint helped make no mistake for the instant, blank logged find. A beautiful sunny day today, luckily with no muggles in the immediate area. Again, I had never ventured to this pretty part, so thanks, always good to experience a new spot and the multi FTF to boot.

Joint FTF with WaywardWoman and NickoHeap

NickoHeap has an afternoon off from school every fortnight which provides him with another opportunity for a driving lesson on the way home. Today, however, we decided to branch out and get him to drive the first leg to Penrith. The WaywardWoman drove from Emu Plains after NickoHeap took us through the bends of Mitchell's Pass, while I took up drinking in the passenger seat of the car after that.

The day was hot, so we didn't want to be out in the sun too long. Thankfully the waypoint was easy and the questions clear, and the cache not far away. We made a quick find and confirmed, as we suspected, that no one had found it yet.

Strangely enough, this was the first time I have ever been in this park, even though we've lived in Springwood for over twenty years and regularly come to Penrith. It's quite pretty. Thanks

This is one of my favourite birding places - I spend a lot of time here. I came down earlier and got the info required but there were too many people around so came back when it was cooler and no-one around. Quick find and signed log. TFTC

On a really hot afternoon I was glad this was a nice simple multi with not to far to walk. I wonder how long the hide will last.

TFTC.
