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.

Just like the others, couldn’t find this one

Unfortunately after looking for quite some time, I couldn’t seem to locate. Looks like a few others have had the same problem

Passing by with Trodectus on the home after visiting a friend nearby. Parked near GZ and walked, started searching a few likely spots but came up empty, read a few previous logs and think that cache may have gone missing, CO may need to check.

In the area with Coybear2000 and we decided to try for this one. We spent some time looking in many places, before checking previous logs and seeing that it hadn't been found for some time. We didn't have any luck either.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Tried on the way to other caches and again on the way back, but. No luck

Wanted to try this one but there was too much traffic. Will have to come by another time

Not found on my adventures while HanorahTLG is doing audition at the NSW Drama Unit.

Has this one been muggled?
We searched where we thought was a good place but no luck.

Ding! Another troll down and I grow closer to levelling up!
I've ridden past this spot many times going to and from my physio.
Today I wasn't going past.
Today I was coming for this cache!
Thanks Rinsemesocks

Definitely not as nice as the other areas in Petersham, but a quick one, tftc

This was an instant find as I spotted it as I approached. However, due to muggle activity, I had to bide my time before I was able to grab it.

Good one, thanks rinsemesocks.

All good

rinsemesocks I found your cache West Street Troll @ Lewisham on 6/1/19, 2:49 pm. This is my find 2227 and find # 9 today. Another quick and easy find. Thanks for the cache! TNSLLN

Thanks for a quick and easy one!

Unfortunately missed this one

Since November 5th I study Englisch at ILSC for 1 month. After the school I walked around and was searching some caches. Here I found the box after some search.
Thanks for the cache from Bonn, Germany

I am currently working here in Sydney. And when I am not working - I am geocaching.
So I found your geocache and I am happy to have a new Smiley on the map so far from home.

Cool one!!!

Quick easy find. TFTC

Based on the hint and other notes I was 100% sure I knew where it would be (not many other places it could be) but didn’t find it

Needs new log! TFTC

Third find of the day

Found with MotleyRoss

Loved the hiding spot and a fun find. Not gonna lie i did climb the wall first thinking it would be up there

An evening of Geocaching around Petersham with a group of Venturers. After a bit of initial confusion, the group spread out and eventually found it in a logical hiding place.

Looked pretty weird searching for it. Eventually found its hiding place

Good view of the intersection of cars and trains

West is best tftc

A bit of a stroll around the area to find some caches today while out and about. While I found all 6 I looked for unfortunately everything was a mint tin and I couldn't drop off any of the travel bugs I have had with me for too long. Nice quick find here before meeting a nice local cat in a front yard that was quite friendly and her owners told me she was called Daisy. Thanks rinsemesocks.

Today we headed over to Leichhardt, taking advantage of the cheap Sunday $2.60 per head capped Opal Card fares, to go on a caching walk from Leichhardt North to Petersham. Also stopped off at Pyrmont for a solved mystery/puzzle cache. Utilised Bus/Train/Tram on the way over, and Train/Ferry/Bus for the return journey back to home. This was the 7th of 8 finds for the day.

After confirming a missing cache at Petersham Park we next arrived at this one. The general location was familiar, having DNFed a previous version of the cache some time back, but this new version was in a different spot. Over to the new GZ and it was a nice quick find in the first place we looked. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC rinsemesocks.

Find #2606

Quick find in the most logical place

Crossed the road, heavy traffic, I wonder if it is there and yes, CIH, thanks rinsemesocks

Found it hiding

Great spot

Quick find while driving from one CITO to another CITO. TFTC

Another mint tin troll by rinsemesocks done. TFTC.

Where could a magnetised mint tin be? With cache in hand, ReverseG and I signed the log and continued on our merry way. TFTC!

This is a little intersection troll! Got up to the GZ and found ourselves in a slightly busy intersection, so had to be discreet. Speed and stealth won the day, and the cache then proceeded to have its log signed. Back in its hide, and then we were off again, transitioning from Petersham to Lewisham.

Found with Foreignnebula!

A relatively easy cache. There is still heat in the sun, making the wait for opportunity to retrieve and replace a bit unpleasant.

2nd one.. nearby is the star wars mural cache..

TFTC - nice afternoon walk thru the burbs ! Quieter day for Muggles.

So many cars. Knew where it had to be. Had to wait for right sequence of traffic lights

A quick easy find at a very busy intersection that we have driven through hundreds of times before.

A quick find here while in town.
Thanks for the cache.

Thanks. Easy find

Have a little faith and stick your hand in

Geodog, Peppa and I aimed our walk past this one today after Stueygow confirmed that it was still in place and hadn't fallen off the bridge.

I made the find quickly in a very RMS style location.

Thanks for another on in the series

TFTC

Went for a quick cache close to home. Took an extender magnet just in case I could retrieve it,following previous log saying it had fallen behind fence. No need for the tools and found the cache, I guess in its original hiding place.

We were looking for the cache and couldn't find it, then sorchaphoenix saw it lying on the ground on the other side of the fence. Looks like it fell down. Nerds replacing or recovering (if possible). TFTC!

A short walk to GZ for another easy find.

TFTC.

Easy as, got to like that.

Tucked away nicely

Corrected my older log that hid this cache on my map behind a found but revisited and this time with a find, TFTC rinsemesocks

There will never be a time that this is not a busy intersection so it’s all about timing. I waited until pedestrians crossed and traffic was flowing before going in for the grab at the obvious spot (although I did try some other spots first just in case RMS was trying to trick us).

3rd times the charm! Tftc

Found it.

Found

I am in town with a few hours spare before I need to be in the rocks for beers at 3:30 and got it in my head that I would walk my way cache to cache from Lewisham into town. It's probably for the best that I have no step counter or I might doubt the enjoyment I've gleaned from my jaunt.
This was my second for the day and was a bit of a challenge to locate and not even less easily retrieved at peak hour. It just took some patience and a wee tad of confidence to do the business. Done and dusted.
My thanks to the cache owner for being my guide today. Cheer cheer!

-- This log is trackable ! --
-- Feel free to discover --
-- Please mention, in which cache you've seen this code: --
-- 3TABQX --

A quick walk past the gz convinced me there was really only one place it could be hidden.
But how to check at an extremely busy intersection?
I settled on nonchalant, and dipped my hand into the void as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
My hand closed on the prize.
I forced my exterior to remain placid, whilst my heart leaped. I scurried around the corner to complete signing duties, then replaced with the same laissez faire motion that retrieved it originally.
Tftc.

Did not find...gave up...probably muggled? Idk...searched with marcus and oscar...logged this on wrong cache accidently...anyways TFTC

Another quick cache grab.

Bit tricky

I needed two caches today for my personal caching challenge for 2017. After some contemplation about my wounded knee and the possibility of falling between the train and the platform on the return journey as the gap is so huge I set off on public transport to get today's caching fix.

This one was a simple walk from Lewisham Station, but all those steps down and back up to street level from the platform - they need a lift. Now I can sympathise with elderly people.

Once at GZ it was obvious where to look but first I had to look at the traffic and watch the cycle a couple of times so I could make the grab and replacement while everyone was on the move.

Signed the log and visited some TBs then walked on towards Petersham. It's flat, the knee can do that.

TFTC # 2170
(glad to be able to make this find RMS)

Back in the game! As Jomingara took a morning tea break I found this one in the most logical spot. TFTC!

Raindoctor -- my geocaching guru -- nailed this. We were on a bit of a roll early on today.

Found by the boy. Nicely hidden.

Almost a park and grab tftc

Nice very quick easy find TFTC

A nice quick find to start a mornings caching. TFTC rinsemesocks

Took a while to find this one, I checked where it was hidden right at the start but obviously not well enough The last person had hidden it quite well!
TFTC! Lots of caches around this area!

Beautiful weather on a long weekend Sunday calls for some caching action. So Smigglepot and I wandered around the Petersham area to visit the caches there.
- - -
Just as I said to Smigglepot "a straightforward hide would be ..." she's retrieved the cache.

Just the one today.
Out early and made my way to this one for the day's find.

Parked *The Family Chariot* close by and then walked past a laneway in which I'm positive I found a previous hide by the CO - and not a typical one!

Cars everywhere - will pretty much always be like this unless you arrive at 3am. Initially looked in the wrong place, but no viable hides. A quick cast around and one spot stood out. Made my way there and spotted it just peeking out from its camo. And what looked like sway on the ground nearby.

Timed my grab for when most vehicles were in motion - ie hopefully watching the road, then took a short distance to complete signing duties. Put in the swag item just in case.

The replace was delayed by a pedestrian muggle aimed straight at GZ.

Easy find before proceeding to petersham landmarks #7. TFTC

This is a bridge I have driven over countless times over the years, but this time for the first time, I arrived on foot. Busy with cars not looking at what I was doing, i felt invisible and quickly located the cache. Thanks for the umpteenth time to RMS.

A quick park and grab

Motorists merrily yelling at each other and ignoring us TFTC

The last one for today’s exercise

I will be away for a little while and, although, I'm not really into geocaching numbers, it felt kind of weird to leave things at 797 - so today I set out to see if I could make it 800.

Rinsemesocks to the rescue!!! Thankyou!!

On a bright sunny (hot) spring-summer Sydney day, this fine cache was number 799!

And as I edit this log, I not that Kid Ron Satan is stalking me!!!!! We must have just missed.... ha... G'day!!

22/9/17. 10:49 AM. Cache #5304.

Just the one cache so far today; in Lewisham. Easy park & grab on the way home from today's deliveries. TFTC.

Yet another diversion on the cycle home. Classic RMS hide, no problem with the traffic both on the road and pavement, just needed to take a look over the bicycle at the right time. TFTC RMS #412

Too easy! Joint 3TF with MaxAdventurer. Met team Jaybeem just as we were signing the log. TFTC RMS

Tftc. As we approached GZ, we saw other people near the spot. Turned out to be EverestHigh and MaxAdventurer who still had the cache in hand.
