Hi bdonl,
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 28 days) 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 28 days 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.

It seems that the tree the cache is in Is fenced off. I did see it and it looks like one of the other jars but couldn't access as there was a fence around it.
Down in The Gong for the weekend... Finalf29 for war gaming and me for a spot of caching.
Tried to grabbed this on the way to my brother’s... I could see it but a construction fence was in the way. Sent photo to CO. I’ll be back, thanks

Found the co-rds to be out a little acording to our GPS.

Took a while to find. I still don’t get the clue that well. but covered it back up at the spot
this one had us stumped for a good while, were still not sure what the hint means but we got there eventually
We had an enjoyable walk in a circuit to find these caches today. Thank you bdonl
Got it. Log is a bit mouldy from all the rain. Nice swags contained within. Thanks for setting it up.
Greetings from Oakdale 1A Junior Girl Guides After completing the Mother's Day Classic Walk for breast cancer this morning, I decided to spend the rest of my mother's day finding some caches
This was #9 of 12 today in the Wollongong area. After finding 'Emu Patrol' I elected to follow the fence line along towards this cache. Soon I came to a little footbridge across the creek and then turned onto Vickery Street. There was really only one place it could be and that's where I found it - quite exposed. After signing the log, I popped it back in and covered it up a little better with surrounding natural camo. The Minnie Mouse TB was not actually in this cache, I had found her in 'Emu Patrol' in quite a sad and sorry state. She's now enjoying a detergent bubble bath at my place ️ TFTC!

Visiting the area from Maitland on a wet long weekend of geocaching. Quick and easy find in the rain. TFTC
A local dog had me all nervous as the own came to see what it was barking at. Yes! Me! TFTC
It’s nice to see the Guides have been learning about caching. Left a TB and took Red Vespa TB
Quick find in an easy spot. Still puzzling over the meaning of the hint, but didn't need it thanks for the cache, a yellow jasper stone left behind.
Even attending a CITO a few metres away last week, had decided to leave newish local hides for needed days/souvenir points. However today, the lure of a birthday treat to myself with some smileys was too strong so, killing some time waiting for dad to finish a physio appointment nearby, I easily patrolled the park for the animals.
#8370 (11 of 12 today - including 5 Adventure Labs)
Another calendar finds day today... 15 just isn't enough, right? Right!
Decided to head south to Wollongong and finally pick up an old puzzle that I solved so long ago I can't remember how I did it! And my scant cache notes don't overly help.
Got seven physical finds plus all the locations of an Adventure Lab. And thankfully the rain (mostly) stayed away.
Aaaaand only one DNF!
An enjoyable day while the Geowife is busy and I'm free to go wither I desire!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Walked from my last find, and just had to wait for a few parent muggles and their children to walk past before hitting the logical GZ and making a quick find.
Took away to put my ink on the log, then back for the replace.
Time for one more.

I teamed up with Wazza9 during a CITO Event in Wiseman Park Reserve. We made a few finds while in the area! A quick find here. TFTC
TFTC,
In the area doing a CITO. We had filled our bags by the time we got to this cache and built a pile of rubbish near by for the Council or locals to move,
Cache in good order.

Got a tip off about a trackable here, so we have nabbed it. Thanks widge76 for our 1st one
Forgot my pen, sorry, co-ords had me out in the middle of the road, which I am not blaming you for, I think my phone has a problem with co-ords sometimes. Anyway found it and had a lovely walk through the park. TFTC
Find 370 for the tribe.
A lovely patch of green space. Geokid and I located the cache without any difficulty. SL and replaced as found.
Thanks Gwynneville Junior Girl Guides for the cache! Sounds like you have a good time with your badge earning activities, what fun to learn how to use GPS and maps with geocaching!

Easy find, but too close to muggle neighbours. This could end up getting canned, like the soup. OCW Brewmaker. TFTC bdonl
Cool spot. Found some walkways we had never seen before. Signed the log for Mr. P. Tftc
Another quick find. Still don't understand the hint haha and similar to the last cache, I didn't find a pen within the last 200m so signed with dirt again! TFTC!
Would have found it much quicker if I didn't read the hint, which I still don't know the answer to even after finding it. TFTC.
Nice to see some more new caches appearing after lockdown, and by some new geocachers.
A nice easy find as I strolled around Wiseman's Park getting some exercise and some fresh air. Found this one in the first spot I looked.

Plenty of FTF opportunities recently which I missed but made short work of this one. *FTF* TFTC!
Great to see some new caches coming out, especially new caches so close to my work. I raced out the door, but was beaten to all three by a fast moving Steeba. Oh well! Congratulations on your first three hides girls. Well done.
Cheers
