Hi Riser5
This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. 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 a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.
Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.
Regards

Couldnt find this one, searched with Yvettetb, but the amount of broken bottles, cans and rubbish along with the natural leaf fall made searching hard. May need to be checked its still there.
Did a little searching but lots of broken bottles, cans and rubbish on the ground made it difficult to have a good look as we didn't have any gloves
This took a tad of searching as the natural camo had done its job...the container matched all the other debris laying a round..broken glass bottles rusty cans..but yeah a smilie ...seem to remember finding one here a few years back...thanks Riser
Maybe change the D rating for the T rating and visa versa

This was always in the too hard basket to access, but we had a park and a smidgen of time so we had a look. Many minutes later and a few more and I zeroed in on a corner we had strip searched. But out of the corner of my eye, while sweeping with a stick I spied a bit of debris. On closer inspection it turned out to be a swimming pool with a log in it. The plastic bag saved the day. Thanks for the cache Riser5
3 of us had a good look around but soooo many hiding places and gps was all over the place. will go back another day for this one.
Public holiday and no cars in the car park... 6 kids and a million possibilities... Cache was quickly located. Signed and replaced tftc.
Last day of Labour weekend holiday with Merlot58. Lots of possible places to hide a cache in the boulders at gz but we made a quick find.
Spending the long weekend in the area with Jag50. With lots of boulders we did a methodical search and soon came up with the goods
Well that took some hunting to find. After 15 minutes with the GPS jumping all over the place I eventually uncovered. Thanks for placing. Another dot for my streak week.
Well..., I hadn't planned on that today. After a flying visit DNF this morning on the way to work, ( office clothes are not the best for bush bashing and mountain climbing ), I had decided to leave this till later in the week when better attired and I needed one for the streak challenge.
However, a call from a fellow Team G0LD member mid morning resulted in a plan to meet up after lunch for a combined assault. Luckily there was a carpark near GZ, so about 1:30 we commenced our search. There were hint objects everywhere and we climbed high, we climbed left, we climbed right and back down again. Made some interesting finds of old bottles and a pair of fencing pliers, but no cache.
It just had to be here somewhere, so trying to channel R5's caching mojo, I commenced another sweep and then bingo, there was the cache, not quite as far up the mountain as we expected it may be. And yes, the log was still blank, so signed off a joint FTF with Lis at 1:45 pm.
This becomes number 117 for me.
After retreating out of the bush, who should we see but Dodge1923 coming back for a second look also. The cache is certainly well hidden, so maybe the D rating is a little light.
Thx again for putting out these new caches and allowing those who need them, the opportunity to achieve the caching streak souvenir. I will have to reciprocate soon. TFTC

Yah another joint {FTF} with my fellow team G0LD member 0B80B8. I saw this pop up this morning so I left a bit early to grab it on the way to my meeting in Onerahi. I spent 20mins hunting this morning without success. I even climbed into the little cave twice. There were so many places this could be but I just couldn't spot it.
I messaged Pete to see if he was keen to try this one out together after lunch. We met up and again hunted up and down the hillside. I was very pleased to hear Pete say he'd found it.
On our way out we bumped into Dodge1923 who was back for the second time today too. Thanks Nick for this cache to help with this week's challenge
