Hi Sicad69,
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.

Have been wanting to do this cache for years and just happened to be near by and thought “why not “. Nice easy find, did the legals and replaced as found. TFTCM

In Baulkham Hills for some park caches. Every park has long grass and is wet underfoot. Our weeks of rain aren’t over yet but we are grateful for a rare sunny Sunday. Cute little container and not a muggle in sight. SL TFTC Cheers… Gaztek
Quick park and grab after Morpheus.
Fave from me - expected a mint tin, expectations exceeded!

Quick find by the wife, on a beautiful winters day. First time I've seen a big screen TV at a local sports park!
Thanks for maintaining the cache

After completing the CO's nearby Adventure Lab "William Thompson Masonic School" I decided to check out some other hides owned by the CO.
A quick find at a nice oval. TFTC

A simple find on a nine day. The only other people in the park were a mother who was running around the oval with her two kids.
The container is in good condition and the log is dry.
Thanks.

Quick find! So much fun. People were looking at me like I was crazy! I couldn’t sign the log, forgot my pen. Will come back with a pen.
Guarded by a redback used a stick to help grab it but didn’t open the cache to sign it as I was a little too scared, tftc!

On the way back from some geocaches, I stopped at this oval. A cricket game was in progress but that did not prevent me from finding the cache!

Nice camouflage job. If I did not work in electrical, I would not have found it.
Even with a pack of muggles at 10 paces this was an easy find right under their noses.
Madly trying to get the remaining caches needed for Mystery at the Museum, getting close now.

Log paper thin and totally full. Managed to put my name over a faded one. Needs a new log asap.
Nice oval, never knew it was here. Tftc

Driving towards home after attending the Clear Waters Mega. Stopping randomly in counties that I have not collected a cache in previously. Quick find at the GZ. TFTC!
Down south visiting family for Christmas. I managed to sneak away today to grab some caches, after my first cache was a big fat dnf I went to get some breakfast where I bumped into an old friend also in town visiting family he tagged along for a few finds and did well, beginners luck I think It has been a slow caching month so it was nice to be out Some great caches today and this was one of them!

Got here just as a rugby game was finishing, don’t think anyone was paying much attention to me.
Made the find easily.
Now off to Mother’s Day afternoon tea.

Found with Little Shoes and Shoes Jnr (who had it in hand before we had a chance to even start looking - the geokids are getting good!)
Drove here after collecting the 3x Stevenson Creek hides. Use to play cricket here in my younger days before the concrete walking track exist, Quick find in between phone calls, thanks Sicad69
Found by Mary & David at 1150. What a sight for sore eyes. We thought we were back in Ireland with such emerald green grass. No rain at home since late January. Wonderful to have sunshine too. Our thanks to Sicad69.
After DNFing it last year I thought I would try again. Walked straight up and spotted it straight away. Can't remember if this is the object I saw but couldn't move last April but in fact all was very easy this time with nobody around and the log quickly and easily signed. Nice to tick off a DNF and convert it to a smiley. Thanks Sicad69.
This cache is quite close to home and one that I have driven past many, many times since we moved to the Hills.
After all that rain on the two previous days I decided to have a look at the flood retention system on the creek where I have found other caches before. It was quite impressive to see it in action -- previous times I have been there one could walk through the tunnel in the dam wall. Now there was a good flow of water through it. On the way back from there I finally decided that today was the day to pick this one up.
We parked in the street nearby and then took a stroll over towards GZ. There was only one person at the oval: a lady in a wheelchair, exercising her dog. I was very impressed at how she manoeuvred her wheelchair on what seemed like quite a wet grassy surface. The small front wheels on the wheelchair were probably not ideal for that terrain, and that reminded me of a final year engineering project when I was a student: to design a wheelchair more suited to rural conditions in Africa, i.e., one that could be used on rough terrain and on unsealed roads.
In the end, I didn't take that project. Instead, I chose one on pelvic fixation. No!! That's not quite what it sounds like -- it was actually the design of an emergency fixation device (a clamp) that could be used to manage severe pelvic fractures by emergency personnel before a patient reaches a hospital. Now what were you thinking?!?!
Anyway, I digress over this small / micro cache ...
The GPSr led me very close to GZ and a quick look revealed the cache. This embodiment of container was bigger than something I've seen before and worked very neatly.
All was good with the cache. I added my name and returned it to the spot where I had found it.

Found a sore pigeon who need a lil help. So took to vet. Poor thing.
