Hi adventure-f0x,
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 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.

What a lovely park . We looked in the most obvious spot, and examined a few other possibilities but no luck. Co-ords took us to a clearing in the trees - might be power lines messing with navigation. Another day.
Found It!
The coordinates are 20m out but the hint took me to the right place and I soon found the cache.

GPS was 22 m out but got there by doing a nice big lap. The last cash of a fairly epic night, thank you
TFTC Thank you for hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity. Thank you for the hint as GZ was 18m out.
I thought that I had convinced myself that I was finished for the day as I still had a couple of hours drive in front of me but somehow I ended up here. I wish that I had followed my geosense right from the beginning as I eventually found the cache about 18m. TFTC SL
Headed west today to grab some of the caches in the Pemulwuy Series plus a few others. I enjoyed the series and most caches were found relatively quickly.
Thanks for the hint here DarkAvengerx.

adventure-f0x I found your cache Prickles on 2/5/21, 1:40 pm. This is my find 3191 and find # 5 today. A quick and easy find. Coordinates are out by 20 meters but with the generous hint had no problems locating this cache. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN
After a dnf at another cache it was good to find this one relatively easily.
Once at the GZ I followed the clue and soon came across the cache.
Thanks.

Our Friday afternoon post-work geocaching jaunts are getting to be a regular thing. We’ve had a really nice walk around the neighbourhood and admired 5he number of well-kept parks. This one was no exception. And we didn’t get pricked! SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
Prickles by name but not by nature thankfully! A good hint meant a quick find here in this nice patch of suburban green. Tftc!
Will check on this asap.
Visited location: The area has changed, seems like ther shrubbery and cover is gone.
I have dropped off a container about 10m away at an obvious location.
I will amend co-ords and bio soon.

DNF for this one, had a good look all around GZ, also looked at previous logs for hints. I looked at the base of all the trees within 10 meters of GZ, no sharp spikey plants anywhere, Cache needs to be check by CO. adventure-f0x.
Attempted to find this at 10:56:00 AM on 23Feb2020

No prickles and no cache. I looked next to everything the hint says and was unable to locate it. Could the owner plz do maintenance sonwe can find onother cache
Found it log was a bit wet but signed cache had water in it that was drained thanks for the cache
Final cache for the day in Greystanes where I started my working life and did much of my Learner Driving. It was a newish suburb in those days. I don't remember all this bushland around all those years ago.
Fortunately the council has cleared much of the weed in this area so I didn't get any prickles. I didn't miss out though as I got my dose at an earlier cache!
Lucky for me this find provided lots of unloved days.

A quick find. The logbook really needs replacing as it's soaked and mouldy. I didn't have any with me, otherwise I would have done it.

Geodad got to pick the afternoon’s activity for Father’s Day and chose to head out geocaching. Geoteen was reluctantly dragged along for some family bonding time.
An easy find to rebuild our confidence after a couple of DNF’s

Interesting information about how the grass mowing has changed to preserve the bushland.
Cache container appears to be in good condition, but the log book is still very damp. Would need to be left out to dry for while.
Thanks for the cache.

The log bog is quite damp. Nicely hidden, but I'm sure the neighbour wonder what's so interesting over here.
Quick find once at GZ. Walked past at first then turned back and could see the sun reflecting off the cache.
Log is soaking wet.
Thanks for the cache

I feel the pain of previous finders.......I hate those prickly things.
A dry summers day is perfect for this cache......not a single prickle to be seen, making for a very quick grab

Quick and easy find tonight. No prickles for us... Maybe coz we didn't wear pants. Lucky it's a warm night! Lol! Tftc pants off Tuesday
Nice quick park and grab for our last one tonight. Was a bit concerned about all the prickles from previous logs, but alas thats ok we have a plan. Shorts off and in we go, lucky its a warm night. TFTC
Night caching with Pitman Clan, AWTYOW, Lt Work and Brizzle11 - I found this one! TFTC
Found by Gabstar, watched as we all left clean except for Mr brizzle who was cover in prickles, TFTC
We warned Mr Brizzle11 about farmer friends prickles.. he seemed confident that he could avoid..yeh right until afterwards... they will find you! tftc
First find of the night and it was Gabstar that spotted it first. The newest member of Brizzle11 had his first encounter with farmers friends, which greatly amused the rest of the crew. TFTC
Located at 12:10am. OCW Coastblue who had previously made a find here. I’m embarrassed to say I’d spent the better part of twenty minutes a few weeks back trying to find this, all to no avail. I’d come in from the wrong direction and left covered in a mountain of prickles and very angry. This time, with much better guidance from Coastblue, I made a relatively quick find and signed the log at the car and then quickly replaced the cache. This was our last cache for the night. Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!
Heading up to sydney for an interview for a new job (fingers crossed) and couldnt resist the urge to grab some caches along the way. Left a few hours early to ensure i had time to grab a small handful along the way.
Lucky im not in my formal clothes yet just shorts and t shirt. Got a scratch and dirty Haah. Discovered the tb here but had a few tbs as it was so left for the next one. Thanks adventure-f0x, DarkAvenger-x

Blow my whistle... found it. Put a trackable in this cache.... a yellow jeep...
Quick find I though I got away with zero. But oh no. Thanks for the placement Cheers
The geocaching gods are with me today. Read the details in the car and didn't even need my GPS to grab this one. Just walked right up to it. I thought I found a way in that missed the prickles... boy was I wrong! Unbeknownst to me, my backside was covered and the park neighbour was watching me pick them off my clothes... awkward! Thank you for a laugh! TFTC!
quick find this afternoon, not so many prickles about at the moment TFTC
Streak day 136
