Logs
I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, familyoconnor, requesting additional time.
An ample opportunity has been provided for the Cache Owner to respond, but since this opportunity has been ignored, I can only conclude that the cache has been abandoned.
Caches archived under these circumstances are unable to be Unarchived, and this location is now available for the placement of a new cache, by somebody else.

###Cache Owner Action Needed###
This cache has been brought to my attention as likely to be missing.
After a string of successful Finds, it has now had a string of DNFs. I agree that this certainly suggests that something has happened at the cache location which requires investigation by the CO, familyoconnor.
The cache will be disabled and I'll check back in 30 days to see if either
- the CO has checked or rectified the apparent problem
- the CO has communicated in a Note log here, when action will be taken
**If the CO has not taken either of these actions, then we can only assume that the cache has been abandoned and, regrettably, it will be archived.**
The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is out there to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.
Thank you

Mightve been the weather or its been move because we even had our super observant cousin with us and couldn't find. TFTC

Mini Me HAD to enjoy all the playground had to offer before she allowed me to go find the cache. Brave little girl wasn’t even scared at all. Tftc
Got a bit of a fright putting it back rather than collecting it haha was a good find thanks!
Thank you! I headed out to grab one cache today, bit couldn't help myself and stopped here to find another. Not too many people around at this time on a hot morning, so I soon had the creative cache in hand.
Thursday or Friday is usually the day when Mr O and I get out on the bikes and knock off a few caches but with Mr O riding the Cape to Cape it was a solo effort today and thus I stayed as local to home as possible. I would have ridden up on the mountain (geo) bike but knowing what the wind is like up here on the light road bike, the extra distance on the heavier steed didn't appeal. Plus the weather wasn't great. The geo-bike got chucked in the car and still I clocked up 14km on my collection of smilies. I was right about the wind - head wind no matter which direction I went in.... or so it seemed.
EUGH!!!!!!! Quick find and no deaths involved. TFTC

Headed out to grab a few more smilies, happy to say we came up trumps with a nice quick find TFTC
Quick find.
A lovely day so we have headed north for a caching adventure.
TFTC familyoconnor this is find # 5219 for us.

We were on a bit of a push to hit a neat milestone this weekend and a trip to this area made sure that we got some decent numbers of cache finds! There was the added bonus of catching up with a few geo friends at an event in Yanchep before making the long haul south towards home. Thanks to all the CO’s, we had an absolute blast today. Cheers and TFTC.
G’day there familyoconnor, I was in this area today and found your cache It’s a bugs’ life GC7VMH6. I added my name to the log book at 9:44 am on 8 September 2018. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!
This cache find brings our total find count to 9992. Woohoo!!

This one took a bit longer than it should but we found the little bug ger in the end. TFTC familyoconnor
Mr atCat wasn't too keen to come back for this one because there's always muggles around, so I decided to come back on my own during one of my walks. I have to admit, I was hesitant to touch this one! But I did grab it and signed the log. TFTC familyoconnor
Took a trip north of the river as far as Yanchep to find some caches. Pleasant day out with most caches found quickly. Thanks to all the CO,S for placing these caches for everyone to find
Headed north of the river to find some caches. Plenty of green boxes on the map to clear up so I will definitely be back to find more. A good days caching with lots of park and grabs plus a few that took a bit of searching to find. Thanks to all the CO,S for placing these caches
Headed North to discover the new suburbs of the Northern beaches up to Alkimos grabbing a heap of park and grabs that have appeared since I was last in the area.
Thanks for a huge day out and a good number of finds with good company. Thanks to the local COs

Creepy! Making the most of my weekly day off work, I went for a drive North to look for a few caches in the rain - at least there wasn't anyone around... Thank you for the hide familyoconnor.
Out with m4yb she to her DD’s and me to the shops. Yay STF here!
Thanks for the hide & smiley

(chwiliwr team catch up of a missing log)
I decided that I wanted to check out this cache off the Better Half and I went.
We saw another cacher there looking for the cache. Log was signed and cache replaced as it was found.

After an unsuccessful first try, I got notification that coords were updated. So I headed out since I still had 45min before an appointment and knowing gz is only 2 streets away from home.
The phone jumped to 6m and back to 1m at various locations and I was nearly giving up and walking back to the car to get the gps out and try with that, when Chwillir came around the corner and asked if I had found it. In the end it was found and the log signed.

Dnf here today. Searched all trees and the fence up to 60m either side of Gz. Checked all tree bases branches , leaves and the ground. Given all the dnf before owner intervention might be needed. Thanks so much.
Spent a good 20minutes here, as previous gc mentioned, only some pines and a temp fence there. Even checked ground to see whether it had fallen out from the storm .
Spent quite a while checking all the trees but still came up empty handed. Either...a really good hide... or it's gone!
First To Fail. GZ is basically featureless save for a tree and a temp fence. Given that the prev cache today was 40+m out I checked trees out to 80m. There’s not much else to look at.
