Hi just_kirsten,

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.

Found where chat was, but not there any more.

It’s been removed
Can see the fixture but no cache

Dnf

Found the cable tie and key ring in the tree that exactly matches the photo but the key ring has rusted and the bison tube is missing. Thanks anyway.

Found an old pair of Bonds undies hanging... can't imagine that's the camo?

Bush bash. Luca and Dad

Looking at the spoiler photo from a previous finder, you have to wonder why we missed it.
Not the sort of day any cacher wants. We were after 5 finds to bring our total on the grid for the 7th March to 10 and thought a trip to Wollongong would avoid Sydney traffic and allow us to complete our task in 3 hours. 6 Hours later we got home with 3 finds and 9 DNF's and to get the numbers, completed a few Adventure Lab stages. No idea if we or the caches were the problem but before returning, I will check the logs.

Wow had to go a bit in the bush but found none the less

Nice litle hide k.e-a_26.
Thanks for the challange

Found with C0mpmatt. This is number 200 for my birthday. The log was wet so I didn’t want to risk unrolling it. Have a photo of you want it. TFTC

Found with Beckatoza today for her 200th find on her birthday. I was clearly blind to miss this one. TFTC!!

Simple find given the hint. TFTC!

Coordinates were jumping everywhere but managed a quick find non the less. Muggles everywhere on this beautiful beach weather day. TFTC

Found after 5 or so minutes, bush very overgrown!! TFTC

Hell yeah

Easy find

Took 10 mins but eventually found it. Tftc

Found quickly and easy

Find number 5716

After a little hunt we soon had the cache found and the appropriate signing duties competed.

Thanks just_kirsten for placing this cache.

Hidden away, bushed.

Nice easy park and grab TFTF

Quick and easy. Thanks

TFTC

Nice and easy find! Hope Maz enjoyed it. TFTC

Great little hide

Quick find. OCW Brewmaker. TFTC just_kirsten

After 2 DNFs we had instant find here. But like others have said, the log was a pulp. Luckily I had tweezers and a spare sheet of paper to replace. TFTC

Not too long a search to find it. Just left warrawong after a movie (war with grandpa - 3/5 ??) and thought we would try our luck. Log was too damp to extract did take a photo for proof. Can send photo if needed. TFTC

Found after a 10min search. No spiders today. Log is a pulpy mess so didn't sign. Tftc

Found thanks,
Log was damp and might need replacing

Heading to the pool for a swim this morning so what better time to have a shot at this one.
A nice little hide which was easily located with the hint.
The log however has turned into a wad of soggy paper so I was unable to sign.
TFTC!

Cache is still in place

Searched for a solid half hour no luck

Sneaky little green man - TFTC

TFTC. Great nano cache. Easy to spot when looking at aerial view and coords

Cache is still in place, area has overgrown considerably since placing

TFTC

Might need to search and see if cache is still there

Did not find

Love it!

Tyftc

Thanks Max (in honour of).
TFTC.
I’ve never been down to this spot before so thanks.

TFTC

Great find

What could have been a tricky search was made easy by the well defined geotrail. Not that we are complaining. TFTC

Found with fitzy, minniek and albida during the mega. Thanks !

18,417. Next find during the OzGeomuster 2019 The Gong.

Morning of Day 3 and down the mountain we go again. Ater the CITO we - myself, minniek, GSC2000, albid33 and Nibletricecakes - headed out to grab various caches around Port Kembla and Wollongong. This was the next one. Phew - well away from the busy playground ! Quick find just as specimenX pulled up - gotta love Megas !

TFTC k.e-a_26 !!

Oz Geomuster 2019 Wollongong at Cataract Scout Park. Day four was another day of caching around Wollongong wit Fitzy and MinnieK. We started by finishing the Wollongong LAB caches up near the Bulli lookouts and then went to the Pt Kembla CITO. After that it was a fun day of getting caches that a few of us as possible had not done before.

After the mornings formal activities were over, it was time to get into some local caches. It was made more entertaining by meeting up with different groups of cachers at each place we stopped.

Thanks.

**Albida**

A group of five of us from Auckland, New Zealand have embarked ourselves upon Australian territory to while away the time here at the MEGA and to gather up some old caches and see the country wile we’re at it.

We did this cache after the MEGA CITO. But I can't remember anything about it.

All logs while in Australia were signed as NZ MEGA 2020 to save space. We are FMZ, Agazo, rustynz, harisree and myself.

Day 4: A group of Westies (rustynz, harisree, Gorby, FMZ and Agazo - temporary Westie visa holder), are in Australia from NZ to attend the OZGeoMuster MEGA in Wollongong. All logs have been signed NZMEGA 2020

We had attended the nearby CITO, and whilst in the area made the detour to find this cache. Thanks k.e-a_26 for the hide and bringing us here

Day three of the OZGM19 Mega saw fitzy_1965, Alibida33, GSC2000 and myself heading back down into the Wollongong area for the day. Started the day off in Port Kembla with the CITO.

One CITO duties were done we just cached our way back to camp at Cataract Dam.

All caches were found quickly and easily.

Nice fast find on the cache.

Out adventuring with Joolay Kittykatch and Smitten Granny on my first full day at the Mega in Wollongong. Such a diversity of caches today, with CITO’s Puzzles, Trads and even the odd Trig. Thanks everyone for the awesome day!

Arrived in Sydney from New Zealand Feilding on the 5th July and early next morning headed straight to do some caching in the Mega area and happy to finally get the opportunity to collect some light house puzzle caches. a great series enjoyed by so many fellow geocaches great to have a trail and enjoy a Mega close by. Thank you for taking the time to place so many variety of caches we know how many hours it takes to put out a geoart. You chose a lovely area to explore well done. A nice quick find here today cache was all good placed back where we found it. all set for the next fellow geocacher to find.

Team NZ Mega 2020 found this cache right after the CITO. The log need a new paper. TFTC.

Up from Canberra to attend the Mega at The Gong! Had a blast over the 4 days which focused on socialising, the events, grabbing all of the lab caches and a few others along the way!

After the CITO I swung past this one and made the easy find. Easier after many cachers had made a geotrail to it!

Thanks for the hide, k.e-a_26

Had a search but Couldn't find today.

Log later

Quick find here by team NZ Mega 2020. TFTC!!!

Found with Canberra crew while attending the Oz Geomuster. TFTC

Signed as Joolay, SG, NBR and KK. Up from Canberra for the Mega. Been a great weekend. TFTC

Found while attending Oz Geo Muster 2019. TFTC.

This was a nice quick and easy find as the co-ords were good. Met some cachers we knew at this one and had a short catch up chat. All names were added to the log before we wandered off to go and look for the next cache on the list. Thank you to k.e-a_26 for a nice easy to find placement.

I followed the geotrail for a quick find. Log was ripped and needs replacement. TFTC k.e-a_26.

After attending the nearby CITO in the morning, we picked a couple of caches close by to do. Met other cachers there and had a lovely chat. Thanks to the CO for this cache placement.

Found with the udual mob of cachers from Canberra- Kittykatch, Joolay and Nibletricecakes. TFTC SL

Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks k.e-a_26 for the cache.

Arranged with Rapidlywild to head up to the Gong for the Oz Muster as only one of the FFLL team would be able to attend this time. Accommodation booked so we were all ready to roll. We had already knocked off the Light house series a few weeks ago and the Scout series quite some time ago so it was going to be easy going for us. Had a lot more time to do all the lab caches and adventure labs and other caches around the area.

Made quick work of this one, then we were on our way.

Thanks for the placement k,e-a_26 and thanks Rapidlywild for another enjoyable weekend away.

A weekend adventure up at the Gong with FFLL#1 was planned and put into action. We had already done the scout series, and we had collected the lighthouse series a few weekends prior to the event. This meant we had more time to dedicate to the Adventure Labs, Older caches and some more unique caches. Was a great weekend away and always alot of fun with FFLL.

FFLL managed to find this one rather quickly ! Awesome work! Log signed and we were on our way.

Thanks for the cache placement and maintenance k.e-a_26

Found with Jet. Quick park and grab.

Quick find with Paris TFTC. ️️

Quick grab for the geokids. TFTC

Found with nissan 65 on our way to the airport. Thanku for the cache

On our way to the airport thought we would take a slight detour to grab a couple of the new caches in the area with cullum68 thanks for the cache

Found on a day caching in the Illawarra with Bonfire7. TFTC

Dnf

I found the cache really quickly but after got the chance to roam along the beautiful beach of Port Kembla.

#6113 (6 of 6 today)

After taking a caching break yesterday I was after a few finds today.
I had been hoping that the Mega in Queanbeyan would give me an extra local Government Area for a Challenge Cache, but alas it didn’t.

So where can I get another LGA? Nowhere close to home, obviously. Decided on Shellharbour. And I spotted a trail on Lake Illawarra. Unfortunately once there I also noticed that a number of those caches had recent DNFs. Did try one but it had signs of likely muggling. So bypassed the others. But that meant a bit more walking for a few less caches than expected.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Can’t believe I went past an NFC cache on the way here. Oops.

Relatively quick find. Once I was in the right spot it was obvious. Signed replaced and then hit the highway to hel... home!

TFTC. Nice little quick find with the family. NJMJ Tribe...Nailed it

A nice simple find to finish off our day's hunting in Port Kembla.

Tftc
After a long break we are back into it and heading to five hundred today.
On our way now to see monkey see monkey do.
Boom.

This was questionable?
Arrived at the carpark to think theres a micro in amongst all that!...why?
Glad i was with a previous finder who pointed me in the right direction
Cheers!

Slightly spikey retrieval but an easy find. Log is a little damp but still ok for signing. Nice area here. TFTC!

2nd attempt. Also saw an awesome spider.

Out and about early NYE to beat the heat and traffic. Nice quick find, certainly getting around the 'Gong and taking the locals to places they never knew existed.

Tftc, nice park to play in

Blends in tricky spot

Back in Australia for a quick visit home, spent the morning getting back into caching with my aunty Maz, mostly her own caches hidden since I was last here but also some of her friend Kea’s. As this one has special significance, thank you to Kea for removing the premium status briefly so I could log it.

#210
A second find before going off to the office.

The log book if a bit water damaged but a good easy find for the kids

Nice hint, helped on a blustering windy day!! TFTC
