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.

No joy for the tribe here today. With plenty of people who had found it before and state that it is no longer where it should be.
TFTC! Great spot.
 
11-Jul-22

24-May-22
Loved looking for this one! Fiancée and I searched high and low and this time I was the finder! Brilliant hide. Couldn’t sign but pic taken for evidence.
 
23-May-22
A miserable wet day so no muggle problem. A bit lucky to be looking at the right angle at my first attempt. Log dry so all good. TFTC.

Great spot but! just not our day.
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.
 
03-Feb-22
Great hiding spot k.e-a_26.
The log book looks a bit screwed up inside - pic sent to CO
Thanks for the cache
 
03-Feb-22
Finally. I swear I’ve looked in this spot previously. So glad to have the DNF turn into a smiley TFTC!!
 
29-Jan-22
Found it after a bit of time searching. Hardest part was waiting for the muggles to leave to place the cache back
 
20-Jan-22
Amazing! Searched every nook and cranny and finally got there. It helped that we went when the gates were locked so no one was around. Always loved this spot. Tftc

Needs checking. Nothing at 0 m.
 
02-Jan-21
Took a leap of faith, but no evidence here, so..."that's me in the corner, that's me (with) the spotlight, losing my religion. Trying to keep up (my cache rate), and I don't know if I can do it." CO please do a cache check in good faith, so people can find it.
 
21-Dec-20

Great view though and we saw a paraglide launch

Took Mr Gaztek’s mother out for a drive today. We pulled the car right up to the gun emplacement. While Mr G was assisting with the walker, Mrs G went a-hunting. And there it was! The Neil Armstrong reference from Rainbow Spirit in August 2019 was helpful! What a fabulous view. We talked to a couple of paragliders who decided not to launch because there was not enough wind today. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

Came to the OZGeomuster, and was down here for the CITO event - came looking for this afterwards - seems a few of us had the same idea Smile ... Lots of us searched up and down and around and looked and looked and looked - then I found it Smile
(Think it might have been the second time I looked there too - lol)
TFTC - interesting spot, and a fun search with a nice bunch of people ...

I departed Seattle on Tuesday evening to begin an eight day adventure in both Australia and New Zealand. I flew to Los Angeles and then on to Sydney landing early on Thursday morning. I am here for the OZGeomuster 2019 "The Gong" Mega event down in Wollongong as a Lackey geocaching ambassador. I will be spending the next four and a half days down in the Wollongong area, geocaching with a lot of the locals. Then I will return to Sydney and fly over "the Ditch" to Wellington where I will spend two days before returning to Sydney for the long flight back to the "States" and finally home to Seattle.

Day five of my eight day adventure and today is my last day down here because I am flying over to Wellington, NZ early this evening for two days of caching. The first thing that on the schedule is to attend this CITO event so I teamed up with Marcus Vitruvious and ChildOfAtom to clean up this area. I did enjoy exploring these old WWII gun bunkers as well as the view from this area.

This was a short walk uphill from the CITO event, the view was awesome and it turned out to be a quick and easy find.

Found it while here for the cito. Thanks for the views and cache.

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.

Whilst we were clambering around Hill 60 collecting rubbish for the CITO, we had to take a short break and visit this cache.

Thanks.

Enjoying being at the OZmega and having a look at the Wooloongong area today.

Came down to the CITO event with AyKayEm so it was a nice change to have a competant navigator to reliably direct travel rather than that silly dyslexic Google maps!

Went off to find this one with AyKayEm after the CITO event and met up with Runawayz and nathan260492 enjoying the sun. This was a bit of a hunt and even a few muggles were drafted into the search for this one. AyKayEm came up with the goodies here and we all got our name on the log and returned it to its hide before going off on our days adventures.

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.

This was the first of our adventures today, but close by the CITO we were about to do. I walked right around the building and eventually I found the cache and signed in for our group. The cache was definitely ground level today. The views were stunning and the weather warm and not hot. Thanks for bringing us here k.e.a 26.

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

Its a new day, and we are keen. We ended up parking in the upper carpark, and took the short walk to the trig and the traditional cache. Part of the MEGA is a CITO, and as this is the nearest cache to the event, we all came for a look and a search. Thanks for the hide k.e-a_26 and for bringing us here Big Grin

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.

Grabbed this one whilst CITOing.....quick find today.
 
08-Jul-19
Great to be at this beautiful location as we spread out from our campsite at the Mega.

Ran into Lackey Jeff and some other cachers whilst up here - so great to have the chance to chat.

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. many geo cachers at the location today the view is amazing thank you for bringing us here. stunning
