Hi moom3,The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, or it may not but in the absence of the cache owner performing maintenance and/or disabling the cache to check it out, 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
Unfortunately this one seems to have been ruined by the rains. As a previous logger mentioned, there is rubble everywhere and GZ is now a construction site. Hopefully it gets repaired quickly!
Spent a good amount of time searching but came up empty. There was a lot of rubble in the area, which makes me think it might have been displaced by recent floods. Despite our best efforts, we couldn't find the cache
DNF road workers turned up a few mins into us looking, floods really tore up this spot, wondering if its still there, lots of rubble in guard rail and it was also damaged
*In the area with woolwood9 heading to the MEGA Event.* We cached from Sydney to Canberra, then after the MEGA, up through Yass, Cowra and Bathurst to return to Sydney.We had a great 3 weeks and enjoyed finding many good caches. SL *tm/ww NZ**Thank you for putting this cache out for us to visit!*
Over in the area heading for Canberra to attend the Easter Mega with tmann421Tons of caches done while here and this was one of them.Enjoyed the touring around and all the containers foundLog signed tm/ww NZThanks for the placement and the effort put into maintaining these hides for us to find.

Found this cache on our East Coast Trip Day 8 in company of Bazzars. A quick stop and a turn around after travelling the fantastic Sea Cliff Bridge. Fantastic views. Thanks from D B-A
Doing the Gong Ride again, (13th-16th time...not sure)...but so happy to have a series of caches along the route. Did not find them all, but that leaves some for next year!
Found, signed and off on my ride. TFTC

Found with a newbie. There is a crack in the lid. I’ll be back soon for the rest of the series.
Took a run along the scenic coast to clear some unfound icons cluttering the map and complete the second souvenir of Signal’s Swamp Labyrinth. Good co-ords and clues made for easy finds on 14 out of 20 in the series (1 disabled and 5 with too many previous dnfs to spend too much time also searching). Some issues with parking but had pre-planned safest spots to stop before setting out and completed in the correct order to be on the right side of the road.

Heading to the Shire for dinner with friends, so left early and decided to target the start of the *Coal Coast Series*.
Went for six and got them all. HUZZAH!
Almost got to my friends' place on time, too...

Huge huntsman was guarding this GC. I screamed ?? but thank goodness my sound was drowned by the traffic going past. I'm not a fan of spiders at all. Retrieved GC, signed and shoved container back after first poking at the spider to chase it away.
Out caching with Meritonnn enjoying a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Blue skies and gorgeous ocean views along this series. TFTC
With itchy arms from the last cache we headed here. That damn grass gets us every time. No itchy grass here thankfully, lol . Quick find between traffic. Tnsl Tftc
Went out and checked on all caches that have been placed so far in this series. All are still where they should be, and have replaced a few logs.
TFTC,
Good to turn a DNF into a smile.
Had no idea what we were looking for last time but with some experience, we made a quick discovery and it took longer to recover it so we could stamp the log.
Visited trackables.

On our return visit today, Wazza9 quickly located the container, stamped log and replaced. Thanks to moom3 for this series.
Spent the day collecting caches in the Illawarra. Completed the Coal Coast Series along with a handful of caches in my 50km radius. Found most caches in good condition, with decent coordinates and helpful hints. Thanks to all Cache Owners for their contribution to this recreational activity.
Not our day, might just be cache blindness.
3 finds today.
We are continuing to work on the personal challenge set by Grub Fred to lift our daily cache find total to 5 or beyond.
It is great to have this new series available to help us out with only a 2 hour return trip.
Today we drove past our first target, oh well, always next time and managed one DNF which might be there and we just didn't see it.

Raincoat on, time to brave to the wild weather and find some local caches on a morning off in Wollongong's northern suburbs.
Quick find.
Cheers

Just a reminder for people to read the description of each cache, as more hints are mentioned. Also to look at the whole cache page itself. Will be doing a maintenance check on all caches with DNF’s tomorrow (27/10/20).
Thanks again everyone, appreciate all of the support and guidance. Will be doing the last lot of caches in the series this weekend (07/11/20), if all goes to plan!

Tried to finish off the rest of the series around here this afternoon but fell a couple short. Most were quick finds. TFTC!
I kept running into the same two walkers as I completed this series. They seemed a little suspicious of my activities, so I had to wait a little while for them to move on. A quick and easy find. TFTC
We parked nearby and walked to this cache and the next two. A nice walk. TFTC moom3 and mrwhiskers76
Couldn't believe how busy it is here this time of the morning.
Thanks for the cache moom3 and mrwhiskers76

A great afternoon to get out and do some caching. It'd been quite some time since I'd cached in the northern suburbs so there was plenty to choose from. What I should have realised is, being a weekend it'd be very busy with plenty of muggles to spoil my hunt.
Nonetheless I bagged a handful of caches for my afternoon in the northern suburbs.
Its funny watching people come out of this street.... I could have spent hours laughing here.
Thanks
