Hi Alephroom,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

Had a good look at all levels and crevices but was not to be found. Even robocam didnt spot anything. The centre of the structure appears to have collapsed inwards. Has it taken the container with it? Ill keep a watch for the next finder. Thanks anyway.

Cant find it
 
06-Sep-24
No luck here either

Was unable to search for long due to cache being close to what was a busy car park this morning.A search of area at GZ turned up nothing.

Found some great places to hide it based on the comments unfortunately no luck. Hope it hasn't gone missing

Found It!A quick find here on a quiet Sunday afternoon. What sound does growing grass make?TFTC
 
15-May-24
I found it with the slips of paper and 2 pens. Nothing else
 
21-Feb-24
Last day out with Oldmorty for a while so we made the most of the mild weather and went searching this area for some treasure. There weren't too many option where this was hidden but after Oldmorty dug around with a stick, I put my whole arm in and felt something larger. Yay the cache! Upon returning noticed a wasp returning home to its nest right near the cache. Be careful. TFTC!
 
21-Feb-24
Ventured to the western suburbs with morty8888 to grab some caches, six of which belonged to this CO. After plunging the hand at the last cache I again had first look this time without success. Morty8888 had more luck and couldn't believe how I missed it- I'm blaming it on the wasps nest next to the hole. TFTC

Maybe I can hear the grass grow, but couldn't find this cache. Had to DNF it over 12 months ago when it was missing. Is it still there? 2nd time unlucky again.
 
26-Jan-24
Another DNF for us at this one. There was no problem with muggles but the cache seems to have disappeared again. Checked out where it should be, but found nothing. Maybe we will find it ...... one day. Perhaps it needs to be checked again. Thanks for the try anyway.

My apologies for the hassle.

05-Aug-23
Very disappointed this is missing after someone put 3 Geocoins in it. Looks like it was too tempting. Was chasing this for the county too and ran out of time.

Didn’t find it after looking in the obvious place.
 
04-Aug-23
No luck finding this cache today. Checked the hint and had a good look. Thanks anyway Alephroom
 
15-Jul-23
Surprised to see such a large cache here. Lots of TB. Took one to move on.

A daily cache for me. Thanks Alphroom.

01-Feb-23
Had a good climb up but couldn’t see anything unfortunately
 
04-Nov-22
We had to leave here disappointed as we could not find anything of interest. Maybe it has been muggled. TFTC.
 
04-Nov-22
The GPSr took us to what was the only possible hide for this size container as mentioned by finders from some time ago. It was empty and after having made a very careful search we reckon this one has gone AWOL. Could the CO please check on this one.
 
25-Sep-22
Didn’t find this one. Lots of spiders and webs so we just had to give up
 
22-Sep-22
The signal wandered probably because of the cloud cover. It took me to two likely GZs but the second was the most likely and seemed to be confirmed by the satellite view.
No luck and may have been muggled.
 
28-Aug-22
Today with M R B Searched high and low, in and out and no trace of cache to be seen. As it hasn’t been found for almost six months placement may need to be checked by owner.
 
21-Mar-22
Full log to follow
 
20-Jan-22
Nice to see such a large container hidden here, I’m on my way to Doric at Wetherill Park and why not drop on by this one

Great hide!
 
28-Jul-21
What a great hide. In Wetherill Park to do a delivery and couldn't resist the temptation of this cache. Waited for a gap in the passing muggles out for their lunch time walk and went in for a quick find.

Ok I’m back to actually retrieve the cache and sign the log, would you believe it, I’m back on a weekend and the same guy in his work Ute is parked in the same spot across from the cache haha. Luckily I had BBS with me who helped me retrieved the cache. TFTC
 
22-Jun-21
Excellent hiding spot, I found it and started to remove the natural camo to retrieve it when I noticed old mate parked his car facing me. Will have to return another day to sign the log, sad face.

A regular? At this GZ?

But, there it was. Wow!!!

#8153 (2 of 2 today)

Heading out early - but not early early - to an event with a new traditional nearby.
Everyone was already back at the shelter when I arrived with an hour and a bit to go.

Somehow thew rain held off until I made the grab at the traditional.
Figures!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Quick find after the event

Pretty sure I got First2Find on the original of version of this. No such luck this time.
The camo wasn't the best. Spotted it immediately.

Grabbed, the heavens opened. signed and replaced with better camo placement - hopefully.
Time to head home.

Stopped here on the way home after the GCNSW event and as I parked, I saw GHHH making a grab for the cache. Good timing! We signed the log together and had a quick chat before heading while Zed collected sticks. TFTC!
