Hi AreWeThereYetOrWhat,
This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, only to discourage people from visiting this location until this cache may be addressed.
**Please note that caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis you will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't just pop out and fix the issue,** geocache maintenance can wait. Once the acute threat of pandemic is over, I will remind you about your cache needing attention.
Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so. However, I would like to assure you I will not be archiving any caches which the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain.
I'll pass by in about another 45 days and hopefully this will all be over.

Searched for it twice today the second time I seemed to have the the place it was meant to be but was not.
19,323. Found with minniek during a meander around the Campbelltown region.
Headed up the Hume for a kid-free weekend caching in Sydney. And as minniek says we even lashed out for a motel instead of camping - Luxury ! This was the next find of the day. We took a side each and minniek came up with the prize. Signed the log, replaced the cache, and then headed off to the next one.
Thanks AreWeThereYetOrWhat !!

A nice weekend away with fitzy_1965 where we glamped (motel) rather than camped!
We cached around Campbelltown, Leumeah, Minto & Ingleburn before heading into our base at Ashfield then into Darling Harbour for dinner.
Was half stumped on this one for a bit. I then found a magnet and tape so knew I must be close.....wasn't long before I found the cache.

Grabbing a few random caches as I headed home from a weekend away for a family function, made an easy find at GZ. Thanks to the cache for bringing me to the area, I also unexpectedly found a perfect outfit for an upcoming wedding when I stopped at the shops up the road!
Found this one when caching with Little Cricket and 007Mushu. Nice hide TFTC
Found with Lucky Cricket and Little Cricket, a nice hide. We were looking on the wrong side at first. TFTC
A very nice park and being a Public Holiday there were some muggles about. My Geo-wife kept watch while I located the cache, signed the log and replaced, thanks.
At an event nearby, so thought why not have a quick look. Not easy to do in a floor length salwar kameez and high heels.
Finally saw the little bugger from the other side of the bridge, so had to climb up and over to the other side. That was when the toe of my shoe caught the edge and pulled half the sole off (oops). I liked these shoes too. Oh well, I’m sure liquid nails will stick it back on ok.
While I was grabbing the cache AddictedGamer and the geodaughter went back to the car to grab a pen. Signed and replaced cache, then headed back to the party to make up some excuse about playing on the equipment nearby which broke my shoe. Tftc & the suburban adventure!!!

Had to be in Campbelltown todat for some shopping and had time to pick up some caches. Normally this area (even more Narellan and Camden) are not my lucky caching areas and I have to leave a lot of DNF's. Today was fine, only 1 DNF and I think that one was on me? Lots of great finds and good caching ideas! Thanks for the caches everyone. Searched on the wrong side first

Taking the half part too seriously, I spent way too long in the wrong place here.
In the end, after about 10 minutes, the cache was in hand.
Thanks for the cache.

What a nice quiet little park. Had no idea that this area existed. A lot has certainly changed around Minto in the past few years. RR1 spotted the cache from the wrong side and RR2 went in for the awkward retrieval. Thanks for cache and for showing us a new area.
I accompanied the CO on a maintenance trip to this cache this morning as she wanted to check it after a couple of confusing logs. Before she did, I had a search for it myself and had it in hand quickly. I think new cachers need to learn/understand the difference between not being able to find a cache (due to still learning the tricks of the trade) and a cache actually being lost. Sometimes, as many of us know, the cache is just harder to find than anticipated. This cache is definitely still here and in excellent condition! TFTC
A quick PNG very early in the morning before the muggles were out. I spotted it and geodad grabbed it. Thanks for the cache!
#3782 (1 of 7 today)
Another day where I need just one find to meet my goal of 5 finds per calendar day by the end of 2017. So had the opportunity to grab more than just that one by heading down Campbelltown way after dropping off Geoson #2 at the station for work - one near home not Campbelltown.
Found everything I went for - HUZZAH! Although I may have been a little early for an event.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
As I arrived here the heavens opened. And there are council workmen.
Waited out the rain before heading to GZ. The workmen are far enough away so long as it's a quick search. Luckily it was, spotted from the other side. Made the grab and took well away - while the workmen relocated even closer to GZ.
Completed signing duties and needed a quick replace.

We enjoyed the park as we had afternoon tea and took the dog for a rest stop. Luckily we had time as the hide took longer to spot than I expected!?!

#966 whilein Minto went for a walk to this one. Got to GZ to look for the troll and spotted it on the other side of the structure so went to the other side and sat down made the grab and signed the log then replaced as found. Thanks for the cache AreWeThereYetOrWhat

Easy to find in dry weather no doubt. Great playground for the mini muggles no doubt. TFTC
Nice easy find in an attractive small park in a very much improved Minto area.
Found on the way home after work before doing the weekly shopping.

Lots of kids about trick and treating, but most were away from the park, so I got down and a little dirty for a quick find.
Snuck around the park late Halloween night for a dark find.
TFTC. Very disappointed I couldn't get FTF seeing I live literally around the corner. All well, next time.

I think that one was trollish enough to count as a full blown troll.
Just keeping my cache streak going and increasing my count up leading to my week long caching holiday next weekend.
Thanks for the cache.

Tftc. Arrived at gz with Mobsey to find Pitman Clan looking. I was lucky enough to get my hands on it first for a shared FTF.
Geo teen had a job interview when I was notified of this one!
We headed to GZ as soon as the interview was done! By then the toddler had fallen asleep so geo teen watched him whilst I attempted a FTF, started on the out of view side as some nearby kid muggles were watching closely - probably wondering why I was poking around, was soon joined by Jaybeem and Mobsey( nice to meet you) who was first to get her hands to the cache. Well done. Thanks AWTYOW for placing another local cache.
