Hi MelcMD,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

Please check that this geocache is still in place, it might be missing

No luck for us today. Perhaps it’s gone missing. TFTC.

Still couldn't find it

Couldn't find this one today

A most enjoyable walk around the block...and the busiest intersection to look for the cache! TFTC

Finally got there. So many rookie mistakes in looking for this one. Tftc

First AL for me so ended up with some mild confusion before the hint led me to it , had been sitting there so close to my work, should have done it earlier!!

Just couldn't find it

Thanks for the adventure! In Wollongong to get our vaccinations and picked this one up for our daily cache. TFTC Dr Figgy

Tftc. Great AL and bonus cache.

During our forced Covid -19 lockdown "6" we were going through our note for our trip to QLD Mega and noticed we had missed logging a whole day of caches. Now catching up with those logs. We completed the Adventure lab back on 22/4/21 and have no idea how we missed logging this Bonus,
We enjoyed our walk around the hospital especially since the sun had decided to come out for awhile. Collecting the different stages was easy and interesting with a comic twist. .
With no math to do we headed off to GZ where the well hidden cache was spotted after a short search and our name was added to the log..

Again sorry for late log.

A quick find with helpful hint and accurate coords. OCW Brewmaker and the Bebes. TFTC MelcMD

Having done the AL ages ago it was time to find the bonus. Quick find with perfect hint. TFTC

Found this one by torchlight after quickly completing the adventure lab

This was fun and easy. TFTC

I solved the AL on my last visit here but I didn’t notice this cache until I got home. A quick find on this visit through, thank you!

Out with mrwhiskers76 today, we parked in the hospital car park as the first 15 minutes are free. We quickly parked and ran to the gz the hint made for a quick find. We signed and replaced and ran back to the car. Thank you for a great cache!

A fun and interesting Adventure Lab and a nice find here

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 MelcMD

Even at 11pm I had to wait for AGES to avoid looking sus. I misread the hint at first so spent a while slightly in the wrong spot, then started checking other areas. TFTC

What a wonderful Adventure Lab.
Really straight forward and easy to find the answers for the questions.
Great to learn all about these Doctors.
Thanks MelcMD for this AL. Deserving of a FP.

After getting a bit of a hospital tour with the AL I received the coords for the bonus cache and with stealth made the find and signed the log. TFTCMelcMD.

Lunchtime find of the cache and the Lab. Didn't have a pen on me, so took the attached photo.

Cheers

Heading through here in the late evening I stopping by to take a look at this new lab adventure,i found parking worked on the lab then soon found myself at GZ signing off on this bonus,nice one!
Thanks MelcMD for the lab experience

Using the cover of darkness I was able to get this cache. After doing the nearby LAB cache I made the short distance to lay my hand on this bonus cache.
Thanks

This AdvLab bonus stood out among a flurry of new notifications as it was less than 1.2km from home so quickly jumped on the app but couldn’t find the adventure. A case of cart before the horse? Waited a while, tried a few more times and eventually put the bonus on a watch only then to be notified I’d been beaten to a local first by an out-of-towner. Confused, checked app again and realised the Adventure had been set to private (not public) and could only initially be accessed using the QR code. Too late to now rush out at night, got up early this morning (to beat the visiting hour parking issues around this precinct) and completed the medical experiment easily before then moving on for a 2TF at a familiar GZ (one I had suspected as soon as I’d read the hint).

Quite enjoyed this tour of the hospital on a Sunday afternoon stroll. We managed to park not too far from the bonus cache so it all worked well. Enjoyable. TFTC!

I was in Nowra when this cache popped up. After having lunch with Bonfire7, I took a scenic drive along the Princes Highway towards Wollongong.

I managed to score some free parking 'around the block' and sorted out the Adventure Lab and Bonus with little difficulty. Managed to claim another {*FTF*} for the day.
