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no response (or regular update) from the owner within the time requested and as per the original note this cache has been archived.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

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 more previously solved Mystery/Puzzle caches, complete some of the newly placed Adventure Labs and SideTracked caches, and accumulate some "units of fuel" for the new "Cosmic Quest" souvenir challenge. Photos will be uploaded to logs on our return to home base.Today (day 1) we travelled out to Vineyard, going via the M2 & M7 Motorways from Delhi Road North Ryde to the Sunnyholt Road exit, then through Acacia Gardens, Parklea, Quakers Hill, Schofields and Riverstone to reach our accommodation. Collected numerous Traditional caches, a couple of SideTracked caches, a previously solved Mystery/Puzzle cache, and a five stage Adventure Lab with AL Bonus cache that we passed along the route. A total of 18 finds for the day.Stopped at this one for a quick look, but sadly failed to find any trace of a cache. TFTH anyway 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 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Adding my DNF to this one.

I note that this cache was reported as needing owner intervention back in December 2022. There's been no CO response and since then, there's now four DNF logs.Time to bring it to the attention of a Reviewer to determine the cache's future.

Add extra DNF. Pity.
Watch listing

This DNF may have nothing to do with cache. My device took me to a house with a difference (or maybe my eyes failed me in fading light).

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

The container is missing the lid and the log is exposed.

Log to follow

Found it - log to follow

Out and about on a walking tour of Riverstone to find a few new caches that has been published since I was last here, thankfully this one proved to be a fairly quick and easy find. I managed to drop the log while grabbing the container, which took a little while to find, but in the end I was able to SL and replace as found. TFTC Morley196!

Found container no lid log on ground after search got. Log then lid amd back in place tftc

Took a little minutes but got there, thank you, and thank you for doing all the work with all the caches around here

Another quick find once I worked out the sticky solution. Nice hide

Cache in good condition TFTC

Looked everywhere

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.

Tftc. Finally back in the area to do an adventure cache and decided to give this another go. Nic to turn the frown upside down.

What a lovely little church. Quick find after reading a few activities. TFTC

Ultra cache blindness from 2 of us. TFTC

Quick find. TFTC

Thank you to the CO for placing this one. Had a hard time finding it the first time around as the GPS sent us next door.

Eventually found this one.tftc

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!

Took a bit longer than expected as I think I was looking for something different. Ended up being something different!

Took a little bit of poking around, but got it in the end! TFTC

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. Wanting to do different ALs and various traditionals in a logical order for my records, ended up doing a few loops of Rivo and came past here a few times throughout the day before finally stopping to make the grab. Some renovations or a working bee in the church hall so stealth was still required.

Found it

Holy Moly. I love Led Zep. Quick one again. TFTC

QAEPAG. Seek and Ye shall find, and we did. OCW Brewmaker. TFTC Morley196

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.

3rd attempt at this one. 1st time the heavens opened & bucketed down as I arrived, 2nd attempt muggles were cleaning car. Today as I knelt a bunch of muggles walked out the church
"Tied" my shoelace till they left then proceeded to find cache. Duties done TFTC

A damp log. TFTC a quick find along our journey.

Nice easy find, thanks!

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.
This was a good find. TFTC.

Nice!!

Thankyou, 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.

Back in area today and happy to replace our last DNF TFTC

Thanks for replacing. After a previous dnf, happy to be back to make the find. Tftc

Found while caching in the area with WaywardWoman

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.

Velcro and 3D printed. Nice. Tftc

Find number 4901.

A nice easy find and good container. All still in good condition.

Thanks Morley196 for placing this cache.

Out caching with the GeoFamily. TFTC

Returned to make the find after my earlier DNF, weeks ago, thanks for the persistence Morley

Finally turning the blue sad face into a yellow smiley, a quick one this time TFTC

Arrived early after school drop off. This was a quick find.

#7199 (4 of 5 today)

Another calendar find day today. So headed out Riverstone way for some numbers.

Went for five and found all of them. Also tackled a multi near my first find of the day - getting as far as the coordinates for waypoint 7, before heading off for more finds.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
For the second cache in a row there were muggles over the road. But this time their trucks gave me the cover I needed to search.

Luckily it was another quick find. Grabbed and only got part of it... Now where is the log? On the ground. Sigh.
With all the bits, I took them a short distance to complete signing duties then back for the replace.

Just be careful which way up you replace the cache as the top might come off as it sits there waiting for the next person.

cache keeps getting destroyed, more secure spot

We decided to clean up the rest of the caches around this area while out with ilook4geo. Eventually this one came to light after a bit of searching, but it seems to have wandered a bit away from the listed co-ords as our GPS said about 13 metres when we found it. The log was signed and all was replaced as found before we moved on.
Thanks you to Morley196 for placing this cache.

Just going out for a few caches today with goingplaces2. Found this one after a bit of a search. Log signed, all replaced, job done. TFTC.

Moved again slightly more secure spot. TFTC.

????

DNF- perhaps the notes of it requires maintenance is the reason

Out for a Rivo frenzy this afternoon. Found this on the footpath inside the gate. The cache is broken. I have left at the bottom of a post.

Hi Sahua - the container is broken and will not screw in to itself. Suspect a victim of the whipper snipper

With intel from two previous finders, it’s not where it should be. Couldn’t locate the certain container it should be, thus I presume, “only god knows it’s location”, thanks Morley

Need to check.

Had a quick look here today but mrs jaybeem wasn’t comfortable loitering around the church.

No luck for us today, hope still here as lawns have just been done

No luck for us today. Hopefully it just tricked us and isn't missing. Tried looking and feeling several spots but unfortunately nothing.

Nada, not today. Muggle doing the lawn. " I'll be back"!

Tftc

We enjoyed a walk around Riverstone seeing some nice older houses which have been well maintained. Caching is a great way to explore an area and get some exercise. Thanks again Morley196

TFTC! That’s one tight log!

Found, but could not extract log to pen it.

Started looking for this one when the neighbours started doing stuff in their front yard. Will be back.

Thanks for the great cache

#5338- This one took some finding since the GpS was jumping everywhere today. I felt it before seeing it. Thanks

Nice cache. A little help from Geofriend. Thanks.

Found this one after a little bit of a search, maybe 5-10 minutes.

The coordinates off a bit. They had us in the middle of the road and if you check the maps, the spot does too but with a little search in the usual places, it’ll be found.

The cache itself needs a pair of tweezers to extract the log but apart from that, it’s a great little cache.

Thanks for the cache.

Found it with skyejam and thanks for leading us here

sevabo found it before me. TFTH

Bless me, I had to paf this one!

Found with Deep_99 to keep the streak going. Haven’t been able to come here since church services were suspended, looking forward to be able to come back weekly. I have always wanted to place a cache here, glad someone has finally done it. SL #4492 on streak day #2877 TFTC

Found with ris768 while out for a walk in between showers of rain thanks Morley196 for placing this cache

Final stop on my walk with geodog around Riverstone. He didn't want to go any further as there as lots of bindi eyes in the grass nature strips around here.

Near GZ there is a lovely historic church. I like a bit of history so I ventured inside the property to have a better look and read the foundation stone.
Geodog liked it in here and had a rest on the grass while I checked for the cache which was a quick find from where he had plonked himself.
After signing the log and returning the cache I used the tap inside the establishment fence for him to have a drink.

We headed back to the geomobile and then drove down to the Lindt factory. After all this staying at home my supplies are running very low!

Another ftf now 1 more in area then to go back to the dnfs and attempt them again

Tftc cute little thing!

This took a bit of looking and it was only because I saw it from a different angle that I was able to grab the cache. Did the legals and replaced as found. TFTCM
Cheers dkmacca

I spotted this from a couple metres away.

TFTC.

Needs work
