This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).
I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.
Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache.
If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 28 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

Spent the better part of the day heading North to South, clearing out all the newer caches East of home. Today could easily been called "Phone A Friend Day" as I made more PAF's than I did cache finds!! Lots of tricky hides kept me on my feet. Thanks For The Caches!
Thirteenth of the day - Made a quick find of the replacement cache. Cheers.

No luck, only an empty bag and lots of memories. This is my old hood. <3 KK (and Fazz)
Sorry guys, I went to inspect the geocache and it was not there. Some muggler found it, and taken it. I will replace it.
Not sure what the last finder meant when they said they moved it but it was a DNF for me today. Maybe next time.
Great hiding spot. I didn’t have a pen on me so I didn’t log it, but I didn’t take anything out of the box. Moved it to a nearby area that should be obvious if you have a key mind and eye.
As I'm headed for an Event this morning I decided to do a little round detour to pick up a couple of extra caches along the way.
Nice start. Quick find was made here, muggle free at the moment. Picked up GC. TFTC

Found it. I’ve been coming to this park for 25 years, visiting my Mum who lives in a unit at the bottom of the park in Arrow Avenue. This is my first walk to the top end of the park. TFTC
The CO contacted me to say the cache had been muggled... And found! Thankful, Juno and I returned this afternoon for a quick find. When she was a young pup we'd walk here every morning.
Cheers

have bypassed this one for awhile. Getting closer to my next milestone, i decided to take advantage of being in the area and claiming a smile. So refreshing to find a cache to leave TBs in.

Late night find with dogofwisdom1, TFTC!! Swapped out a Travel Bug for another
Thought I'd grab this recently placed cache this morning on my southward journey.
As I was signing the log an elderly gent stopped to talk about the plaque nearby. He said he remembered when the accident happened up on the sharp bend nearby. He went on his way oblivious as to what I was doing.
Signed and re hid. Dropped a TB and grabbed a TB. TFTC crazysavage.

Having just attended the nearby event I ducked around here afterwards where I made a quick find. Being a soccer parent we are regularly at this park, thankfully the crowds who frequent this park in winter were nowhere to be seen today.
Thanks

After a few big runs this week to knock off 86 more smileys before the end of the year, this recent nearby publication not only gets me my NYE souvenir but also ends my year on a targeted goal of 5500. Not my best yearly total to date but man, have there been some memorable moments, which started with Who Loves Walking (the original) as my first FTF of 2018. Only right I finish the year with its sister hide.
Curious about the memorial plaque, did some research and came across this online by Garth's father:
"Garth had been celebrating his 23rd birthday and gone for a spin on a motorbike with a mate. They’d been drinking and I suspect the bike had no headlight. They drove through a park, straight into a slippery dip. When my son was killed in that bike accident, I thought, nothing worse is ever going to happen to me but the coppers knocked on the door at 4.22am.”

Pipped to the post to a FTC by a couple of hours by Wilbert67 here this afternoon! Knew where I was headed and made a quick find. TFTC!
Fisrt excuses for the late log. Reason: I alwauys log on my pc when I am home. Could not log this one before I had logged all the other caches from today and there were a lot!! Now to this cache, as I was driving back from a very hot day of caching (over 40 in Penrith today) I realized this FTF was still for grabs and I needed a milestone cache for nr 12000, So why not an FTF I thought!! Good celebrations. [FTF}
