Hi sumbloke,The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, or it may not but in the absence of the cache owner performing maintenance and/or disabling the cache to check it out, 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.Ngaambul - Matt

No luck today. Cheers

Out for another day of caching with Skylizard while attending the Canberra Geobash. This cache was very aptly named. A relatively quick find.TFTC

I am enjoying all the happenings at the Capital GeoBash Mega and today TanSaf and I were out and about looking for nearby caches and came upon this one. Id like to say it was a nice easy find but we looked in lots of places without success until I stood back and spotted it, exactly where the hint indicated. Thanks sumbloke for placing the cache.

Definitely spot and hint, took me around for age, unlucky find.. DNF CO need maintenance

A quick find this evening. Thanks to sumghost for the cache

Cache seems to have gone missing. Replaced the container.

No luck here this evening

Nope, nothing at the obvious clue...

See last few logs.

Not in or around the letterbox

Another dub, but it was a stupid dub

Easy

Cheers DEDH

Didn’t search quite so long!
Logging our second find
This is fun

Caching around Canberra area for a while. TFTC.
Cache and log are dry. Quick find.

Log paper damp but managed to etch a faint scribble with the graphite - TFTC!

Found it right away

A quick find. I could have posted something in 2 different ways here. TFTC

A short stroll before the rain set in to find this one. Actually quite a tranquil place. TFTC.

TFTC. Had to PAF as I was blind the first time.

Driving to the green shed, this cache was a DNF for me a few months ago. The hint zones one in to the empty letterbox, and I was about to call it quits again when TheSkype found it hanging. Tftc

#4189 Second attempt with Green-martian and I. Not in the obvious spot, but found while looking down and pondering on the possible whereabouts.

Cool spot. TFTC. Love the clue.

Found It!
The hint didn't make much sense here but I soon spotted the cache after a short search.

Fourth cache picked up on this Sunday (with a real lack of sun sadly). It was a quickish find at GZ. Thankfully Mitchell was very dead today so there were no muggles to be suspicious of our doings at the hide location. We still managed to discover some possible decoy locations before getting our hands on the log though. TFTC sumbloke

I posted a letter while here!!
TFTC!!

Deadset, that took longer than it should have

TFTC!

#1738 As I was nearby, decided this cache was worth a look. A little interesting with a couple of DNF's since the last owner maintenance, but thankfully found the cache intact in the second place checked. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

I was on my way to visit mum, but could not find the cache. Lots of landscaping work done recently in front of the letterbox. Perhaps this affected the cache?

Couldn't find it either unfortunately

Cache seems to have gone missing. I've replaced it with a standard container.

Just like the other two cachers before us, me and Theskype walked away with only a headache. This cache should go to the dead letter office.

Not today. Thanks for the hunt

Had a good look, but even with a previous find with me, I couldn't find.

Thanks anyway....

Good one

Last week was a DNF as they were just closing the gate when I arrived.
Today an easy fact find

A nice quick find with Aussiepuschaks TFTC

A quick find which answers another of my questions about correspondence going missing. Tftc

Dead quiet today possibly because it is boxing day. TFTC

Previously tried to get this at night and failed. Quick find today. Nice hide.

Took the opportunity while Geokid is in his weekly sporting activity to grab a couple of quick caches in the area.

It’s not every year that you can find a treasure on the 29th of February, so I had to take the opportunity. Found this one in great condition, TYFC!

Spooky spot

Canberra Day 5: Northern suburbs (Mitchell - Watson - Dickson)
The goal of today’s caching was to clear off one of the mysteries I had solved from the northern Suburbs. I particularly liked these puzzles, so if anything, I wanted to get these so that my efforts were not wasted. It was going to be a hot day, so I started off early this morning, and hoped to finish a good amount before the heat starts to make geocaching unfortunately. All went well, and I ended the itinerary for today just before 2 pm with a total of 38 caches found.

This is the specific log for this cache:
Cycled round to Gungahlin Cemetery for the trio of caches within its grounds. The cache here was most easily found and quite apt for the locals. I suppose no one sends mail to the dead? TFTC!

Apart from the dead spider keeping watch from the spooky realm, this was a shoe-in.

Of the 241 caches attempted, 225 were "Finds" and 16 were DNFs. All caches in good condition but generic log due to the sheer amount of how they blend into each other after a while. TFTC!

This weekend represents The Stumble's annual Canberra trip. We travelled from Goulburn through to Queanbeyan via Tarago (food and service is really good at the pub) and Bungendore.
Out of 241 caches attempted, 225 were "Finds" and 16 were "DNFs". All caches, unless otherwise stated were in good condition. Cache locations varied but those prickly trees were the WORST!! We did encounter a few unique hides which we have awarded FPs for.
We left a lot of swag along the way for the kidlets and deposited a couple of TBs that needed moving on.
To all the CO, TFTC and the (at times) challenges in finding them. Apologies for the generic logs but 241 caches blend in to each other after a while!!

That was a bit of a surprise tftc

A simple find while in the area, all is in good condition.
TFTC

Quick find as my cache for the day. Glad I left it for the weekend. Lots of traffic there. Cache in good condition. Thanks for getting me out and about

Oh, I do like a quick find. Great container for the location. TFTC.

Across the street for a friends funeral. This one was too big a tempation to miss. Tftc.

Found on day 5 of streak.nice cache tftc

Day 4 of the pamper 7 day streak challenge and as I was working in Mitchell office thought I would visit and grab this cache, parked a little away to be safe then walked to the obvious spot and quickly found, signed l pig and back to the car for a getaway. Tftc sumghost

Didn't realise this was so big. Think I will have to explore another day. Thanks for the cache
