Unfortunately, the interest in maintain this historic cache seems to have evaporated.

If the CO can't respond to an enquiry, then there is no choice but to assume there is no longer any interest by the CO in this placement and they have abandoned the cache - taking the next step and de-listing - sorry.

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Georubbish.

Hi Echo & Spice,

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed as well as to remove it from search listings.

**Please note that caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis you will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't just pop out and fix the issue,** Caches where the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain will not be archived.

Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so. Alternatively, what you need to do is place a Write Note log indicating a date when you you expect you might be able to attend to the issue/s.

**When I next check on the cache, if there is no acknowledgment from the CO as request above, the cache will most likely be de-listed (Archived).**

Bunjil

Counldnt find it unfortunately:(

Had a decent hunt here with GeoSon and no luck.
Suggest a CO visit to confirm.

Couldn’t find it, maybe check on it?

Possibly not here any more.

Great ride

Second try, second failure. Would be grateful for a hint!

With geo kids 1 & 2 in tow, we made a quick stop here after the division athletics carnival at the nearby athletics track.
Parking was great but with the GZ backing onto or what seems smack bang in the middle of a school and community centre facilities, i though this might prove difficulty not to raise suspicions here.
Relatively muggle free with only a handful of muggles hanging around, I made a quick grab and retreated to the safety of the car.
There was a great “Salmagundi” of problems here.
The cache container is in great condition but the same could not be said for the logbook. It was in tatters, damp and mouldy. Reading previous logs it appeared that it has been in this state since 2017. So I grabbed a spare logbook and writing implement from my car and replaced it into the cache. Sent a message to the CO informing them of same.
The co-ords are fairly spot on here and the hint not that helpful but sort of relevant, it’s a relatively easy find. No need to get dirty here.
Not sure if it was a community garden or part of the school nearby but it made for a nice photo anyway.
Thank you for the cache dak’s Emu Bob (maintained by Echo & Spice)

We did not find it

This adroit clandestine hoard induced a debilitating aggregation of discombobulation, in essence catalysing intractable scepticism pertaining to my proficency to fabricate consequential lexicon

Looked for ages! No good.

Came to visit one of the long time cashes. The log is a little damp and manky but serviceable. It’s early morning so nobody was here to watch me scrabble around.

Find number 7382 at 11:26:08 am
Out of bed and running this morning, it'caching time
Finally, been here a few times now but always tooooooo much traffic, today was nice and quiet.

Well I couldn’t find it. Spent about 10 minutes. I was about to give up. Thought I’d try for a bit longer with a different interpretation of the clue. Still no joy. However...there still might be some joy yet...Even though, I’ll admit there are words in the description I’ve never heard of (so, thankful for the meanings), I shall be making a citizen’s arrest on the word police today. A lot of big words were used in the description. Impressive. However...the three word hint has a spelling error. Well, it’s correct in the USA, but not in British English. It’s centre, not center. It even gets underlined in red to let you know it’s not correct. If you, the CO, are from the US, I somewhat understand, and let you off with a warning. As a lover of words, you should have taken a little more care before publishing. If you are indeed an Australian by birth...well, into the slammer for you! No excuse for a lover of words!

Last time I was here I aborted the cache as muggle painters were painting the rails right at GZ. Today very deserted so i made the find without hassle. The log book is in very poor condition, but I did manage to sign. Couldn't really play the game here for this one. Cache all back as found.
Thanks guys.

Didn't find

Last time I looked I didn’t find it but I went back with my sister and found it somewhere I had looked but not hard enough

Me and my brother looked for around 30 minutes and didn’t find a thing

Found 24/9/18

What a bugger to get at.
TFTC

Out and about picking up some unfound local caches with my geo husband. As we approached we wondered what word we were going to get to have to put into our log. But unfortunately there were no words to be found. The log book takes up the whole of the cache and it is in a very untidy state. It was disappointing but thanks for the cache and smiley face.

This is one cache which my caching friends have done but I have not so I am keen to find it as well. Having looked once before I thought I would try again. This time it was wet so there were less people milling around Gz. I started out looking for hides as I had before. Having checked the places likely and some locations indicated by the hints I moved further towards Gz and checked again with no luck. I then moved away checking other logical spots and finally found the cache. Definitely a case of making it too complicated. Thanks Echo&Spice

Easy

TFTC!

Got covered in spider webs and dirt only to not need to be! Fun find tho!

Good fun

Great find with friend

Found it. Thanks to dak's Emu Mob (maintained by Echo & Spice) for placing this cache.

Yep, it’s still here!

Found with Ashab88 12/02/18

HINT: is not below waist height! Do not need to get on hands and knees!

Definitely took a while we looked to much into it hahaha the clue beneath near Centre was the best clue

Lots of muggles around so it was hard to look properly.

Did not find

Couldn't find, can someone send me a hint please

Hard to find but hint makes sense once found!

Hard to find but hint makes sense once found

Hard to find but hint makes sense once found. Not much getting dirty required.

Dirty and messy and nothing in hand

Could not find the treasure

tricky but a good "walk"

????

Too many muggles around and I wasn't dressed for getting under where I imagine the cache might be. I'll need to come back at night!

Thanks

Yay. Lucky aside from some soccer players, its empty here...cause this took me a little while. It all about neon in the right position!
And...battery on 5%

Went at midnight, searched high and low but found nothing

This took a bit of searching, thankfully with my being there just before dusk I had the place to myself. Much crawling about beneath, should have trusted the GPSr more as the hands and knees wasn't necessary. As noted by previous finder, the log is damp and in need of some TLC.. thanks..!!

People around giving me funny looks this morning but managed to find it. Final word of the hint was a bit misleading though. ..maybe it has moved from its original location? Anyway it was a good hiding spot. Logbook was damp and mildewy. Owner please check.

First time didn't find it. We came back for a second shot at finding it and we did.

Almost exactly two years after I failed to find this one I headed back to take another look. There were a few people playing tennis nearby and some people arriving in the car park for cricket training but I was able to park nearby and search uninterrupted. It's tricky to spot by either sight or feel but after a bit of searching around I spotted something. I changed my approach angle and a short time later I had the cache in hand. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Nice to get this long-standing cache off the list at last! Thanks for the cache Echo & Spice.

Couldn't find it anywhere it just kept jumping to higher numbers

I have not found it but I am sure it's there as yesterday someone logged a find. So will come back with my kids to do the dirty work

Glad I bought my daughter to find it. It took a little time but worth the find.

Spotted this one by looking under from the other side. It took a little bit of time and effort to retrieve with a muggle and his dog playing fetch near by. Send me a word and I will play along with the game. TFTC

We found it.
Note- What the heck, we will take up the challenge of this one.

Found with ELLISBR. Geocache was covered in ants x

Took a little effort to throw my head under but then spotted it. Didn't care for the ants all over it!!

It has just been brought to my attention that we had only logged this with a note requesting a word.
This was found but not logged at the time.
Please accept our apologies. We remember this as we love words.

Please send me a word honorable cache owners. I would love to play your game.

Yey found . This has been on my mean to do list for months. I live around the corner and kept saying must get that!well hurrah. Nice sunny sunday wife is ill how better way to keep well and find some caches on my bike. 1st one down onto Karrook park tftc neighbour

Really deep in there. Really dirty job to get there!!!

Spoiler

On a adventure with friends and I was the unlucky one that had to get dirty.
TFTC

Might need to search the SPOILER

Have us dirty knees and lots of spider webs around.

Found after a short search. Didn't have to get quite as dirty as I did once it was located. Terrain rating and clue more helpful in retrospect...!

Went to this cache because I really liked the idea of it, so a shame that the word list isn't still there. Found the cache and signed the log, but would like to get a word to log the cache in the logophile tradition.

Went out Geocaching today with the family and I thought I'd show them one that I found here because it was in the same general area. I let them look around for it until they found it, but they actually found a different one to the one I found, so there are actually two here

I looked for this one with a friend a while ago but I couldn't find it. Turns out I was only 2 inches off it but that didn't make it any easier! I was with a different friend today who pretty much gave up straight away. But I persisted and found it.

Thanks to Riley for his clue.

Found it on the double line

Tftc good spot found with Don0110

Out and about to find some caches my non prem friend can do. It wasn't too long after we found this cache and we're off to find the next. Tftc

Great hiding spot! Must have been a quiet Sat at the tennis...

Good find on a Sat afternoon.. Tennis quiet today!

Having done this one in the past as a young scout was coming back to mark it off in my official geocache name. Unfortunately was unable to find where I have found previously. Will endeavor to come back at a later date and find.

Took a while but found. Good hiding spot

Almost gave up but persisted and found it!

Quick stop off on our day with no kids. Tftc.

Found with the brother and sister instead of cayfs and cayfs but will deffs be showing them this one! Good hiding spot but gave me dirty knees!!

Found it.. thank you

Good call!

Found after moving some actually inconvenient rubbish. Tftc

Found it after a search be wear of the webs

I found it

Found with maffn

Easy find for the kids

Joint find with McLovin11

A little hard to find, best not to go on a Tuesday or Thursday night or during the day Saturday.

Shame the word thing was gone :/ Spooked some kids breaking into the tennis courts and peaked the interest of two nearby council workers, but got it in the end. Thanks for the cache!

Someone's in for a treat

Found it and the 20c has multiplied

Found with Happy Feet and Happy Pants on a hot Christmas Day...

Whilst some took the opportunity sleep off their Christmas Lunch, Happy Feet, Happy Pants and myself decided to head out and clean up some of the 'local caches' on a hot 34° day... A beautiful day had by all, topped of by some good walks, great company and many laughs...

A short stroll, a short search, found the cache, stamped and returned...

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for my enjoyment Echo & Spice...

Took: Nothing

Stamped Log...

Staying with family for Christmas, so a great opportunity to grab a cache or 2. While everyone was snoozing after a big Christmas lunch, Sanp Happy, Happy pants and myself, went for a short cache run. This was a quick find thankfully on a hot afternoon.
Thanks Echo & Spice for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.

Found this afternoon with family while out this side of town for the Christmas break. The cache was soon located and logged and then we escaped the heat and retreated back to the comfort of the air-conditioned car. Thanks Echo & Spice for the cache.

While in town for the Mega on the weekend we picked out some old, and archived and unusual caches ,this was one TFTC
