Hi Fizzbear,The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, or it may not but in the absence of the cache owner performing maintenance and/or disabling the cache to check it out, 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 4 weeks) 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 4 weeks 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.Ngaambul - Matt

Should have checked the log before coming, but as everyone else said, no cache

the cache literally isnt there lol

I think I found the spot but no arrow or cache

Visited it during 28-days geotrip to Australia, N.Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, Am.Samoa, Fr.Polynesia with Marci, Ch. Sometimes we logged as "MT" or "Jonea" or "MTCh". Thanks for showing nice caches and places. MT-Jonea from Brno city in Czechia EU.

Belated DNF that I visited on 10th March, confirming that recent DNFs factually valid. Adding mine

It was annoying that someone took the geocache but its still fun

Couldn't find today.

Easy to find however didn't see an arrow

A little on the humble side but still nice to find

It was very easy. My dad said it was at the bus stop but it was back up the hill. When we were at the place where the phone said it was straight away I said found it!

Easy find this afternoon. It is hard to access this with out someone seeing you as the highway is very busy. TFTC

Found out about GeoCaching just this week and this was my first one - a very pleasant first step into this fun little pastime!

Thanks for the cache

yay

There are plenty of caches to be found in the mountains but we just selected a few to find with goingplaces2. Found it without much bother and replaced all as found before leaving. TFTC.

While enjoying a Blue Mountains drive and some great scenery with ilook4geo we visited this cache. No arrow, but it was not difficult to find in the end and both names were soon added to the log. Thanks for this cache placement go to Fizzbear.

This cache is quite unloved, which is a shame. I put a few scraps of paper in (all I had on me) in lieu of a new log. Also, even though it says there is a TB, there is no TB. Someone has taken it and not logged. Thanks for the cache, but I feel it needs a little love.

Couldn’t find the arrow but found the cache. Log is full and wet. TFTC

Found it along with our first trackable.
Log is wet and nearly full

Fairly easy but the wall has been painted differently makes more of a challenge as there is no arrow

Quick find this morning, thanks.

Quick easy find.
Left TB

We are on another short (four day) caching holiday in Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains, staying for three nights in a park cabin at the Ingenia Nepean River BIG4 Holiday Park at Emu Plains. Planning to collect some of the solved GFA puzzle caches around Luddenham and Wallacia, then visiting the Blue Mountains from Springwood to Wentworth Falls (over two days) for numerous Adventure Labs and other targeted caches.

Today (day 3) we completed two Adventure Labs that had their various stages scattered around Springwood and Winmalee, and also collected numerous caches of various types (Traditional, Multi, Mystery/Puzzle, and Virtual) that we passed along the way. Also visited an old "2 Dogs" Traditional cache from 2001 that we needed for an "old school" challenge cache. This was our 33rd find of the day (day 3), and 79th find of the holiday.

After collecting an Adventure Lab stage, this was the next cache we came to. Parked the geomobile on the east bound side of the highway, just beyond the median strip fence, then dashed across the road and up to GZ for a nice quick find. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC Fizzbear.

Find #5348

Another quick stop on the way up into the Mountains.

Cheers

#8668 (10 of 15 today - including 5 Adventure Labs)

Headed up the mountains today as the calendar gods are twitchy, and the rain gods are flooding everything near home.
Checking the BOM Radar, I hoped the mountains might be dryer - didn't quite work out, but could have been worse.

Found ten - as well as five Adventure Lab locations - but one DNF and a "looked from a dryer spot but saw nothing" kept me from having a perfect day.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
I headed towards this cache via the *Street Libraries* Adventure Lab. I snaffled four of the five locations before arriving here.
That meant I completed:
#8664 Birds on a Wire Library
#8665 Birds of a Feather Read Together
#8666 Little Book House on Ellison
#8667 Springwood Gumnut Library
###END OF ADVENTURE LAB SECTION###
Parked in the car park a little down the highway. Yeah, probably could have parked right next to it.
Walked there and the search area was pretty obvious.
Summed up the likely spots and got it in one.

Made the grab and took a short distance to ink the log. Then back for the replace - trying to time it all with breaks in the traffic.

Now to finish that AL.

Nice and quick

quick and easy find

Good first find thanks

Quick find on my way home today TFTC

Thanks Fizzbear for this nicely placed cache. TFTC

Pretty straightforward cache. Sometimes you just need an easy one. Thanks for placing it.

Always seen this on the highway. Never worried about finding it. It seemed appropriate to do on extra and last day of Feb. TFTC.

Nice one. Quick stop on our drive past today. Great camo!

Super cute one!

Found it

On our way to Katoomba, we stopped by the side of the road for this cache. We really liked the nice cache, and are giving it a favourite point.

TFTC Thank you for hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.

Love the little hiding place!

Our first cache! The family have been looking for a few this long weekend on our road trip and this is the first one we managed to locate! TFTC

We've just started Geocaching with our young children and has 2 did not finds. Hooray for this one - our very first! Happy kids who are now keen to try for more.

Today I came up to Faulconbridge by train for a few caches. This walk my last stop, quite a walk along the noisy highway from the other walks in Sassafras Gully and the Jackson Park Reserve Loop Track.
Once at GZ the hint helped me identify which property I was heading for.

Didn't need the hint though as the cache was sitting on the nature strip when I got to it. Everything was in good order despite its exposure.
I signed the log and rehid the cache according to the hint.

Spotted something unusual not far from GZ as I walked back to the station.

TFTC # 3550

Quick find on way home to Orange. TFTC

Found it. A quick find

Found on a cold night. Had to fill a blank in my calendar. Like the camo. TFTC Fizzbear

TFTC

Sadly empty. Put stuff in there though

TFTC. Nice easy find. Thanks

Om my way to work

Quick park and grab
Thanks for the cache

Cool

On our way back from Springwood, oldmorty and I stopped for this park and grab. Nice cache with a very generous hint. TFTC Fizzbear

OCW frazeydaze for a days caching around Springwood with very mediocre results. Out of the five caches we attempted we finished the day with two dnf's, two unsolved puzzles and, woohoo, a smiley for a park and grab.

After a pretty depressing day of caching we finally got a smiley on our way home. TFTC and restoring our caching faith.

Found on my way up the Mountains. Picked up TBs that were all muddy
Will have to clean them up before I move them on. TFTC

#4905- I had met a friend for a coffee and realised I had only 65 km to go till the car would be empty. So I grabbed petrol and being 66 m from the cache in the nearby parking area, I swung in to look for this cache. A quick find, then I realised I actually could have parked right in front. Left a TB of mine which I hope someone takes before it starts to rain. Thanks. Glad you are enjoying caching- nine years on for me and still loving it!

Easy find on the way to the new Hartley caches.

Thanks Fizzbear for giving back. Glad you are enjoying caching so much. Easy little park and grab. TFTC

Quick park and grab. Thanks for placing. Tftc

Tftc. Quick find on our way home from scenic world.

Tftc . Quick cache on the way home from scenic world with jaybeem!

Apologies for the late log but I just found a heap of unpublished logs in my draft notes.

Tagging along the Rats on a trip to Mudgee, we found this cache as part of fun 2-day trip to see our big sister. Thanks for the cache.

Heading out to Mudgee for the weekend we couldn't drive all that way and back without getting a few caches.
This was a nice easy one that the mini rat grabbed quickly.
Thanks

#5,730

Bikerbuddy & I did some maintenance on one of my caches today, wandered around doing a few other things, then detoured here on our way home to find this one.

We parked down the road a little & walked up, spotting the camo from the footpath as we walked past. Very cute .

Namaste

Streak Day #2009 - Out with Dave8153 for our daily cache, was a quick find. TFTC

Thanks to Fizzbear for placing and maintaining this cache.

Found today on a walk from Faulconbridge to Springwood.
Thanks for the cache.

logging find made a couple of days ago. Was originally going to attempt FTF but by time I’d organised geokids it was gone. Nice easy one for kids. TFTC

Now this is my style of caching!

I let me son drive me there, I pointed out the hide to him from my seat. He got the container, brought it to me and I signed it. He then returned it and drive me home!!!!

TFTC.

We got into the car quickly and were at the spot in about 5 minutes. Looks like it was a good thing too! I am claiming the real FTF, as I spotted it and retrieved it! High five from dad!!!

Tftc - 2TF (or was it third?). Easy find in the rain, fish and chips for lunch.

3TF. Found with geokids. Cool cache outer cover, nice easy find. Tftc.

As geodaughter and I were getting ready to head out for a ride, this one popped upo. We forgot about everything and drove off. Zonic spotted the house number and was out of the car in a flash and made the find immediately
