It’s there. And it’s location is perfectly described by the hint. Love Pink Floyd. No need for maintenance. Tftc.
Hi XYZBoy,
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 45 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 45 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.

Needed a little escape so went out with TJ_Awsome to find a few hides.
After search for sometime, we just could not find this one.
After reading some logs, including a find that didn’t find it, I think it needs to have a CO check.

I couldn’t find where it was there was a spot we thought it was in but it wasn’t
Very sneaky haha bit difficult with area closed signs but can still get to it...
Had to wait for some mini muggles to move before we could have a good search. The GPSr wanted us in the playground but we knew to start out. It was just a quest of which side. We did send out a PAF to see if we could grab while the muggles were there or if we had to wait. In the end the muggles left, we found the hide and signed the log and then the PAF reply came in. TFTC.
Second this morning after a great Saturday orienteering event.
Met the same family from other side of the park! Great fun... thanks

Things to do today, but still have time to get in an hour or two of caching.
Found myself around Belrose, and as there were two new-ish caches near each other, decided I'd start there. After that there was a bush bash and a park and grab.
Four finds will do me.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Nice quick find in an almost deserted park - and no one near GZ.
Summed up the likely hide area and found it in the second spot I checked.
Completed signing duties and replaced, then away to the other cache nearby.

Needed the hint as I didn't want to linger near the playground but a quick little find afterwards. Lovely day to be out on a hunt.
Early morning jaunt with the pups. A bit of a rummage in the zone found something suspicious. Cache found and signed. TFTC
Probably today's last find on a productive afternoon of 11 finds. A tricky hide and I was surprised it stayed in place, at first. Thanks XYZBoy.
When the "Mystery at the Museum" geocache challenge was first announced there was no details as to what it would involve, but we knew that it would require finding geocaches of some sort, so intentionally left many of the newly published local caches unfound so as to provide some local "stock" to draw on during the challenge period. And the strategy has paid off, limiting the distances we have had to travel to find caches with particular clues or gemstones, but now that we are into the final stage of the challenge it's time to clean up the geomap of local caches.
This was one such cache, so we took a slight detour via Belrose, during the afternoon geokid pickup run, to hopefully turn green to gold on the geomap. Arrived at a deserted GZ and, thanks to the good accurate coordinates, made a super quick find in the very first place we checked. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC XYZBoy.

Another clue for mystery at the museum. Not as hard as it could have been

Another stressful caching experience.
1. The GPS just wouldn't play the game despite new batteries - what's with this area?
2. It started raining.
3. On the drive home a drunk coming out of the hotel up the road missed my geomobile by just millimetres - didn't look, just sped out. Grrr
While I was sitting in the park, only seat in the area, trying to get the GPS to settle a family arrived which made it difficult. I waited them out, trying to decide if PAF was an option but then I couldn't see who'd been here, so as soon as they left which coincided with the rain starting I decided to just use my geocaching instincts and found the cache in about 2 minutes.
The words Hard Hide in the title is quite off putting but despite that and all the other difficulties I managed to find it and SL.
TFTC - Yes, quite tricky.

The plan today was to collect a few of the more recently published caches with my 20km from home radius.
This was stop number two, thankfully no one in the playground as we arrived. I missed the cache on first pass and must have been just millimetres away !

Found on a rainy Sydney winter's day. Arrived at the GZ to find The Vikings, BoogieRogue, and Morty8888 already there. BR and M8 had already found the cache. Etched my name in the log and had a geochat. It was fun to meet some local caching crew and finally meet one of the Vikings after finding some of his very clever caches about 6 or 7 years ago.

I was just about to jump into my car to go to the post office, when the e-mail with the new cache arrived. Well, I thought, in this torrential rain there shouldn't be too many people out geocaching. Wrong I was. Arriving at GZ I saw two other cachers there already, and a third one arriving by car at the same time as me. Nice meeting you all Morty8888, BoogieRogue and AMobious. A bit of searching followed together with AMobious, as per recommendation from the others, inside the play ground for easier access. Soon the cache was in hand and signed, and we spent some time chatting about Geocaching before going our separate ways.
With torrential rain falling in Sydney, I consciously thought who would be out Geocaching??Checked emails on the way to Chatswood and saw 2 new caches published about 15 mins away so decided to go and see if thy were findable in the rain. As it happened, the rain stopped for a short time and I found myself alone searching for this cache in a deserted playground. BoogieRouge arrived and we signed the log and had a chat. Minutes later 2 others arrived, The Vikings and AMobious and we watched them soon have the CIH. A geochat was had and soon we all went as the rain started again. Great to meet all and put faces to names.
Happy Birthday XYZBoy and have a FP as a belated present. Great hide and TFTC!
