I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, Devlin- Brown, 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, Devlin- Brown.
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

DNF Was even peaking at the photos ppl posted to get some clues. So pretty sure we were in the right spot.
Had a good look and feel and couldn't find it despite knowing what I was looking for
I spent 1 hour looking for it. I look at all the benches in the area. I was trying to be stealthy at first. By the end, I guess people though I had an obsession for park benches...
Cute view, had to go by a few times as there were always some muggles sitting on the bench
Found on the last bench that I tried at GZ and on the last surface that I hadn't yet fully investigated.
Got there in the end!
Got there in the end!
Another Sunday morning caching run NOR. We woke up early and headed away early to clear a few of the I found caches in this part of town. Cheers and TFTC.
G’day there Devlin- Brown, I was in this area today and found your cache Hyding in Plain Sight GC83VRP. I added my name to the log book at 11:56 am on 7 March 2021. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

Bolted to where I thought the cache was. I was wrong, I only frightened a spider . There were muggles on the bench! Out and about doing Hyde hides.
Took a little while to find, as the park is pretty busy, but got there in the end! TFTC.
GPS took me to the wrong feature, almost gave up then spotted it, thanks
We saw that this had been replaced so came for another look. 4 teenage muggles were at GZ when we arrived but as luck would have the rain arrived too so they soon disappeared. I was there at 3 o'clock so not sure if dezzabills was there before or after us. TFTC
i was at the gz at 1545 and very methodically searched both park benches. Maybe i was blind???
this cache is definately missing. no nano no bolt nothing. checked both benches all bolts are fixed.
Don’t let old pics distract you. New canister is different. Could not remove log. You may need to bring tweezers. Pic shows canister.
Out for a morning run and there were a few other people doing the same thing around here. I think some were out for the first time in years.
I over shot this one by about 20m then my GPS settled and I went back. GZ had me between 2 likely spots and I chose the wrong one first. Then I went to the other one and sat down to enjoy the view while I retrieved it and signed the log.

It’s definitely there! Small & you need to find the right bench. Coffee caravan nearby is very good too! Thank you!
It's back! And it's cute! The bench is definitely in plain sight, but the cache is not
We had a nice day in the city and saw a lot during the day.
Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Still looking into getting a replacement cache should be back by the end of the month
Knew what to look for but after looking at GZ and surrounding area couldnt locate cache. Think it's gone.
Lovely midday trip for a birthday party, so why not grab a cache or two? Nicely hidden, and a good one for Geodaughter to grab. SL. TFTC.
