Unfortunately there was no response (or regular update) from the owner within the time requested and as per the original note this cache has been archived. If you wish to replace it please submit a new cache via [this link](https://www.geocaching.com/play/hide).Ngaambul - Matt

Hi Morley196,

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 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

Add extra DNF from me

This is obviously ready for a check by the CO if not archiving. It has been unfound for a long time and the cache should have been an easy find given the hint.

Another one that's eluded us unfortunately.

We are on another short (three day) caching holiday in North Western Sydney, staying for two nights in a park cabin at the Ingenia Holidays Avina BIG4 Holiday Park at Vineyard. Hoping to collect some previously solved Mystery/Puzzle caches, complete some Adventure Labs, and accumulate enough cache finds with our mini seven day streak for this month’s "Wheel of Challenges" (medium) souvenir. Photos will be uploaded to some (most) logs on our return to home base.

Today (day 2) started with an exploration of the area around Riverstone, collecting some Traditional caches and going for a walk around the Riverstone CBD for an Adventure Lab and it's associated AL Bonus cache, but sadly there was also several DNFs. After lunch we headed up to Richmond for a four stage MultiCache and a couple of Traditional caches. A total of 15 finds for the day (day 2).

This was the next one we came to as we drove along Railway Terrace, but sadly nothing cache-like was found at GZ, with no sign of any rocks, fake or otherwise. TFTH anyway Morley196.

Log to follow

Looked as the hint indicated then widened the search but came up with nothing. I think the cache may have gone.

Out and about on a walking tour of Riverstone to find a few new caches that has been published since I was last here, I followed the hint and expanded the search about 5 meters either side of GZ but wasn't able to locate the cache today.

Spotted quickly. TFTC

All good here. TFTC

Found with WaywardWoman while caching in the area. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC

Easy cheers

Found tftc

In the area today and once I'd finished my chores decided to grab a few more caches in the area and this was one of them.

After parking nearby the cache was soon in hand and once the log was signed all was returned as found.

Quickly found once at GZ, signed the log and replaced as found. tftc

#7703 (1 of 3 today)

Busy day, but finally snuck out for a few calendar find caches out Riverstone way. Found all three I went for without any problems. Just had to keep my eyes on the muggles, both on foot and in cars.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Parked close by and... oh, I can see the police station in the distance... Way in the distance. Glad I've cleared out the caches near there already.

Turned to the search and my eye was immediately drawn to something. Easy! Then had to wait until I could make the grab.

Took it back to *The Hademobile* to compete signing duties, then back for the replace.
Now to avoid THAT intersection as I make my way to my next target.

Day 2 of post-Christmas caching with aubeasty and we still had a bunch to find before we reached our goals. Rain, wind and humidity could not stop us and the mix of ALs and trads in the area got us over the line before the end of 2020, phew!

Riverstone, the town of park and grabs. Very happy with that situation too as it was numbers I was after today.

Hint worked well, cache has a little damage. CO, I can send a pic if you wish.

I love these 3d printer creations. TFTC

TFTC. Quick find. OCW MF428 and the Geokid lookoutlexiisabout. Geodog Atlas was not with us today.

Cache Log:
DNF avenged!
We came here months ago to try and make this find but it was at the height of Covid restrictions and felt heaps dodge about looking too hard as we were literally the only people out and about and everyone was suspicious of everyone.
So, we came here today to avenge our DNF.
I don’t remember there being such a descriptive hint before?
Regardless, the cache was in hand in less than 2 minutes.
Thanks for another great cache!

Two ALs and an influx of new hides had me coming up a day earlier for a family function to lay assault on the Riverstone area. Ticked off the last few quick PnGs on my way out of town after a long, very hot but 100% successful day.

Found it

Another interesting bit of 3D work. TFTC

Drove over from the eastern burbs today to complete a couple of Adventure Labs and a few traditional creative 3D-printer caches by the CO. Owing to their placement, most were a quick park and grab. TFTC Morley196.

While out and about today there was enough time to find this cache. The cache was found quickly and easily after a short search. The log was signed and then the cache was replaced as found. Thank you Morley196 for placing this cache.

Easy find, thanks guys!

Today I decided to have an early break from work(ing from home) and head out to grab some geocaches. Wrestling my way through school-traffic it took me a long time to drive from Castle Hill to Riverstone.

Once arrived, I unfolded my foldable bike and started my Riverstone exploration and picked up quite a few caches, a Lab cache adventure and many creative 3D-printer creations.

TFTC!

20 August 2020 at 11:59

Nice one!!! And like other, loggers, I love your 3D creations.

Thank you, Morley196

Riverstone tends to be a place I go through rather than to, so it was good to spend an hour or so around town this morning, using the good old geo-map as my guide.

I particularly enjoyed your cache making abilities ... it's amazing what you can do with a 3-d printer these days. Thanks for your efforts morley196 and, along with goingplaces2, for showing me a good time in Rivo.

No luck even with WaywardWomans help

Drove to Riverstone this morning cv with the adventure lab as an incentive. Turned home with a lot more finds then anticipated! That always good. Lots of interesting containers in the area.

Another nice quick one after completing the AL at Rivo. TFTC.

Quick find Tftc

Out caching with the GeoFamily. TFTC

Find number 4904.

A simple find while caching around Riverstone.

Thanks Morley196 for placing this cache.

My last day of holidays thought I'd have to get a few finds so met up with teamMerlin in Riverstone here to get a few caches along the way. This was a nice quick find. Followed the hint for the find. Gave up looking for anymore as a learner pulled up right where we were going to start looking for Cops come back another time

With cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for bringing me to the area and thanks for placing the cache Morley196

Just doing a cruise around Rivo with ilook4geo and picking up some caches that have appeared since we were last here. There was no problem in finding each one we looked for and muggles were thankfully elsewhere. Thanks go to Morley196 for adding this cache to the game.

Found this one with goingplaces2 and quickly did the duties with as much discretion as possible. Names were added to the log and we were on our way again. TFTC.

A lovely day with sevabo and 2 dog sitters. TFTH

2nd attempted and this time I can see it. SL with skyejam and 2 dogsitters.
Thanks for leading us here.

Another nicely made container. TFTC

Found it!

Pretty straight forward find. Another nice container.

Thanks for the great cache

Found with Twinkletoes7202

DNF avenged. TFTC

Nearly forgot to log.
Returned 2 days after the DNF and located the devious hide submerged and nearly buried.
Positioned it in a more accessible location for quickish finds, TFTC

2nd time lucky.
Even with a suggestion from the CO, thank you, and knowing Wayward Woman who was here just yesterday would have replaced the cache as requested in the info and hint this was still a tricky time consuming find.

This time I was here alone without geodog so I had no decoy and even though it was Sunday morning the road was still busy. I spent quite a while hunting for the cache. Nature is quickly helping to hide it from prying eyes. Finally I uncovered it and avenged that awful blue dnf face. Sat in the geomobile to sign the log.
Replaced uncovered as the cache info says.

#3977
This one was right where the CO said it would be. Another nice bit of 3D printing. I did notice the black base that holds the cache was damaged so you might want to check on that one too. I'll be back sometime to find the rest of the new Rivo caches. Thanks Morley196.

#5336- After a dnf in Schofields, it was nice to get this one. Thanks

Checked on the cache, placement was not where it should be. please replace as found. should be easy to see.TFTC.

Good hiding. Took a while. Thanks.

Nah, not a fan of this one.

Not enough to go off, on a busy road, having to scrounge through leaves and look dodgy.

With the world the way it is these days, this cache needs to either be rectified in its placement or a better hint given.

It’s a big no from us.

Our first day out geocaching after the global pandemic. We have still yet to get our geocaching eyes and fingers back into gear as we were only 50% successful today. Oh well, plenty more caches our there to practice on.

Unfortunately no luck for us today. This one seems to be a bit hit-or-miss based on the previous logs. The local muggle across the road wondered why people park out the front, wander across the road, and look in the foliage. Once I explained what we were doing, he let us continue searching, but as with others, no find for us (even with the updated hint).

I looked up and down until I gave it up but sevabo was still looking for it a long while until she gave it up too so maybe the cache has gone?

??

Once again I had to resort to a paf here, my excuse is that I was looking for something on the surface, when I needed to scratch around the litter.

Like the previous cacher, Martin cousins, I also saw the local police while here.
Fortunately a bouncing sniffing dog and a large plastic bag provided a good decoy and after slowing down they drove on.
I began to poke around in the bushes and expanded my search area but couldn't find anything matching the name of this cache.

Have the local constabulary taken it as evidence???

DNF- Was here long enough to have the police onto me. I had to explain myself and as I wasn’t carrying my wallet on me, gave them my details.
Here too long and maybe a $1000 fine pending.
Only the one cache here in Rivo today as I lost interest instantly upon questioning. Thanks Morley, sorry mate for the downer log.
