Hi Blackwoollydog,

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 28 days) 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 28 days 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.

Did not find- what a wonderful view- with lots of muggels- umm is it still there?
we looked for ages, and clambered around the rocks- to no avail- til it started getting dark- next time perhaps.
Bremer rasselbande.

Look all around climbed up and down no luck TFTC

Ran out of time at the end of an otherwise fruitful day.
Could not find in the obvious places...

Ran out of time so will have to come back to finish this one off properly

Very pleased to have found this one. Initially didn't realise it wasn't on top of the headland, and then found a way down that didn't get me down far enough. Went back up and found another way down - but now I had too many options! Which rock did the hint refer to? How much overhang is required to qualify as an overhanging rock?
I checked most crevices as I passed them, but only as I was considering heading back to the top did I poke a stick in the right spot and see the prize.

I think the coords are a bit out - I've been right beside GZ for several minutes now but they still reckon I'm 8-9 metres away.

All in all, a lot of fun! TFTC!

Maybe didn't go low enough. Kids were playing up.

No go. I think it’s been put somewhere random.

Once I got to the right level it was an easy find.

TFTC.

Out for a walk today in Harold Reid Reserve with JimmyDave, don't think I have walked this neck of the woods even though it is fairly close to me. Nice easy walk with some nice views.

This was our last cache of the day in the reserve and we searched and searched on all levels for a long period. Even after reading the hint and the last activity log we were unable to find.

Sad way to end with a DNF. Had a lovely day on the hunt. Confident we found the location mentioned in the clue but alas no cache to be found

Great location and view. I found the container out in the open at the bottom of the cliff, so unsure of its rightful hide. I did locate the feature in the hint, however could not find a suitable hide location to match the 2nd part of the hint. I did the best I could to rehide, however suggest the CO check it out, as it may have been originally at a higher altitude.
Gets a favourite.

Amazing views from up here, once on right level we spotted TFTC

Another lovely spot! This one took a little longer too. Tftc

Had a good look and just couldn’t find anything

Muggles! Couldn’t sign the log, end of a very successful day around middle cove!

Cool spot. Thank you

Tftc ??

Struggled around the vegetation and the rocks but eventually we decided we would come back later

I was in the area for a chiro appointment and decided to take advantage of walking nearby. This area was not what I was expecting! What a lovely spot to walk! This made me so happy, thank you for bringing me here!

I came from up top, but the most difficult way haha!
TFTC

What a climb going from a lower path virtually straight up. I think Geo-Bunny could have planned this route a little better. This was sitting out in the open, very easy for Geo-Bunny to locate. Awesome location, great view. A rest stop was definitely needed here after that climb. TFTH TFTC SL. Replaced, ready for the next geo-adventurers. Thanks goes to the CO for bringing us to this awesome location. Dropped off a cool TB.
Interestingly, the last time the log was signed was on the 11/11/20. See image for proof of find.

Found it.

Thanks for the cache!

Fun find. Everything dry and in order. TFTC

Smurfyguy looked for this one while I kept an eye on the 3yo and 7 yo. In the end, we decided the little one was a bit too wild for this location and so we'll come back another day. Thanks anyway.

No luck today. Did find a lounge chair covered in a blue tarp.
Messaged the CO but didn't hear back, and with 2 small kids who wern't being that cooperative, I had a good look but was time to try another cache.

Thanks anyway.

Wow - there are a LOT of overhanging rocks - but the youngish geoson found this one - TFTC

Found

Thanks for replacing this cache Blackwoollydog. This location is one of my favourite places in Sydney and it's nice to replace the prior DNF with a find. TFTC.

This is such a beautiful spot, we had no problem revisiting it to finally find and tick it off our list. Happy New Year - stay safe!

A lovely evening to go out for a walk in in the bush.
I parked up on the road and walked up the path to the GZ as the sign said that the gate would be locked at 5.30 and I didn’t want to risk being locked in.
This turned out to be a good thing as it was a pleasant walk.
Getting to the GZ i began searching around and after a couple of minutes came across the cache.
I was a bit surprised when i checked the log to see that it hadn’t been found since the start of the year.
After checking the logs i found that i had in fact come across the container that was thought lost.
After signing the log i put it back and a few more minutes of searching turned up the new replacement cache.
Both containers are in good condition and the logs are both dry.
Thanks.

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.


Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache.

If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 45 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

Can this get a check after all the DNFs?

️

Like the last few visitors, looked but failed to find. Is it still here? Had hoped this would be #70.

2nd time searching in last 3 weeks, no luck after an hour search. Lots of likely spots, but not our day!

Too tricky today

Looked for a while and found what looked like a perfect spot for it but no cache.

Had a long look, but no luck today

Alas, my only DNF for the day that I tried hard for. Searched everywhere but ended up getting rained on and attacked by insects so thought I’d better call it a day. I’ll be back!

Find #: 2,292
Companions: None
Muggles: A few
Weather: Hot summer afternoon
Cache condition: Good

I decided to go for a "practice hike" in preparation for an upcoming hike in NZ, and this area was a pleasant area to explore. This was my second stop. There was a muggle pretty close to GZ, so I tried to wait her out but then realised that wasn't going to work so just moved past her for a quick find. TNLNSL, thanks for sharing this spot with its lovely views

Found it. Had fun. Good view

Found with flappybirds on a walk to get the ten caches in the area, great walk with some amazing views. TFTC!

Today i went caching with pixel101 on a quest to find the 10 caches in this area. This was our ninth one of the day. The description said that it was under the look out so i climbed all the way down to under the look out only to hear that pixel101 had found it up the top right near the lookout. So whatever you do, don't climb down to under the look out it is not down there. TFTC.

Great find, beautiful location TFTC

Great view and wonderful walk

9/9

Thought I would celebrate my 33rd birthday in style. Take the day off work to enjoy the beautiful day. Have been eyeing of this trail for a while and have always been too busy. today was the day and what a gorgeous place. TFTC

I was up here a while ago getting one of the other caches and had completely overlooked this one. Glad to have an excuse to come back. TFTC!

(1 of 16 today)
I Thought to complete my clues for Mystery at the Museum today and collect a few jewels even if I wouldn't complete and ended up breaking my PB for most finds in a day. I also ended with 2 Dnf's one muggled one eluded for way too long and I gave up after 20 minutes.

I thought I'd get my last fingerprint here and I did. Co-ords eluded me and were out by 10 metres, like most of the "mini powertrail" ended up doing. Some good views to Wilis castle and Middle Harbour.

TFTC #132 TNLNSL VISITED 3 TB.

Great day again to go out for a walk with the Geokids.

Nice and easy find.

Best spot of the day tftc

Amazing view

Found with AMobious TFTC!

Found today with Azuljewel out getting clues for the mystery souvenirs. The coords were good, and it was nice and quiet today. This was cleverly hidden and gets a fav point from me. SL TNLN TFTC

Been here before but this is a spectacular view across the water and the back-side of the "castle" which we accidentally ended up in the same street last weekend.
What came first - the Castle or the place-names ?
Cheers

A pleasant Sunday morning walk with a beautiful view. TFTC!

Great views from the top! We started up here, before descending down to the lower track to complete the trail around the reserve. Giving this one a favourite as I enjoyed the whole track and wanted to draw more attention to this lovely area and set of caches. Thanks for setting up the caches along the tails here!

Great spot TFTC lovely view.

Done

Located after a brief search. Seems it has moved from where the hint suggests.
Relocated to a more appropriate spot

This is my 100. good view. TFTC

Start generic comment
Today I went to this area of Sydney to find some caches. Found 4/7 to make an enjoyable day. Some were found quickly, others took a while. 2 things that all caches had: a) a decent view, b) spiders. Thanks to all owners for placing and maintaining their caches.
End generic comment

Couldn't find but don't want to log a DNF. Was looking all over the place but the spiders, heat, hunger, time and my mum telling me not to go any further as I could fall and hurt / kill myself got the best of me. Will be back, though. Thanks for bringing me here and showing me the nice view. TFTH

Found with MT

Decided to pick up a few caches and the mini power trail today, I approached the foreshore loop a from Sunnyside crescent, where the trail very quickly fell apart and had to do a little manual navigation. A fairly successful day of caching

First DNF of the day, I looked at all the sensible areas but came up blank after a good 15-20 mins seatching

Lookout perhaps, but I had to look down to find this one. The previous finder noted that they souvenired the pencil sharpener. Thanks Blackwoollydog.

Very first find!

Went for a drive before a school function and discovered I’d been to this spot before for a Rite journey celebration

What a great location to end the day. Thanks so much.

Last cache for the day - this one is actually meters from an old cache (that unfortunately was muggled recently: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCDFBD_dealer-wins?guid=99a4890a-fbc5-44b9-b495-43ecb9add8e7)

Dejected by our DNF there, this one took a while to find (also tricky for a tall person such as myself). Luckily as we were about to drop a few more levels, caught a glimpse of the container.

A great way to finish off the day - thanks Blackwoollydog for making me come walk this trail again, was a great short walk.

Nice hiding spot.

Took a while after looking in the wrong spot

After admiring the wonderful view, astounded by the castle, I found the nicely hidden cache. Thanks Blackwoollydog.

We drove here today especially to find the caches in this park, but the heavy rain overnight had made the bush very unpleasant so we just looked for this one then headed home. I found it near a great lookout, except the view was blocked by heavy fog and rain. At GZ I looked around for a while before realising where I had to be, then found the very well hidden container, nice and dry. Thanks Blackwoolydog for a great hide, I can't wait to return on a warm, sunny day.

TFTC the cache fits perfectly in the spot

Lovely spot, cool and pleasant this afternoon. Good views, especially of the little-known Willis Castle. Here’s a tip: to find the cache, don’t go the hard way! Thanks.

Tftc!

What a view great start to the walk. Thanks for the cache.

Tftc.

Our 10th cache of the day, and easily our favourite, what a magnificent view! TFTC

Another cool find. Be careful with small kids near the edge. TFTC!

Found it

Great views! TFTC!

Nice hide. And a nice view. Thanx for today.

Cache nr 10 today. Stunning views. TFTC

Last find fort the day with AussieRed. This reserve is such a beautiful place. I don't know why I haven't visited here before.

Last one for the day. Great trip around middle cove!

Thank you for the fantastic view and the cache.

Děkuji za fantastický výhled a za cache.

Decided a nice walk and cache hunt were in order to celebrate the new year... Harold Reid Reserve was perfect for both... what a beautiful place.
