No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

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 30 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.

This one has had several needs maintenance logs posted and no response from owner. The cache is obviously a regular stopover of some local muggles.

Quick stopover after work today. Thankfully the area here was deserted and found the container quickly. Was again out in the open and left open. No contents. TFTC.

Muggled!

Muggled! Container is still there but everything else, including the log, is gone.

Nice quick one tftc

Been meaning to do this one for a while finally we got here on a quiet Sunday morning. No log book so we have left a new one dropped gc took alien tb

Found with the rest of Geo family. Looks like someone has left a temporay log. Farewell Spodge and good luck on your exploration of Earth. TFTC.

Found this cache neatly tucked away and empty (as previously logged). Created a new temporary log book out of some packaging and this cache is up and running again. Found a 20 cent coin hidden in the bark of the tree so we added that to the cache.

Found container near GZ. Empty sadly. log book and trackable missing. Have hidden the container as per (I think) original location. Attempted to hide from muggles. If you are looking for this one, please bring a log book to place in it. Canyonero Crew.

Found container empty on ground. Re-hid. Needs new log book. Didn't leave anything. Needs maintenance.

Looks like has been compromised found container lying out from tree nothing in it!

We stopped here to eat lunch on a very cold, slow caching day out with the geodogs.
We headed over towards the cache, following behind the worlds slowest walking muggle and his dog. They eventually went around the corner and we headed in for a quick find. Then Mr Muggle comes back around the corner. Mr N hid behind a tree with cache in hand and I wandered back to the path acting casual A quick chat with Mr Muggle about dogs and he headed on his way again, seemingly without noticing the larger gentleman behind the tree
Anyway, cache is safe and sound but there is no TB in it.
Thanks happyharries

Found on a wet and rainy Monday afternoon. Stairman1 sent me out to do the duty of finding it while he was warm and dry in the car. [:(!]. Signed the log and put it back nice and safe. Took the coin. TFTC

A quick find this afternoon with Goldielover. TFTC

Decided to do a nice simple cache & drop off a new location for the Dojo Kun.
Muggles were every where but we prevailed without detection.
Could not log visit as we there was not writing instrument.
TN - Left Bug.

Found this one after a short walk Nice sasy find and no trackable in here TFTC SL

Found 1821 - 14 For the Day (With redbackspider)
Nice little park, once GPS settled a cache was in hand. TFTH TNSLLN

1038 - 16 for today. Found on 16/04/11 6:21 PM
With Lost_Gecko. A quick and easy find. Thanks. TNSLLN

Up from Adelaide for work and snuck in a couple of caches. TFTC

A nice walk in up the path and we had this cache in hand fairly quickly. It was slightly visible and we made sure it was hidden and the spot looked more natural when we left. We did a bit of CITO at this cache carrying away a convenient plastic bag and half a dozen empty beer bottles. Didn't have to take them far as the Boy Scouts next door had their bins out. Cache was wet, as everything seems to be in the rain today. We tipped out some water but sorry, had nothing with which to dry it. We were soaking ourselves. The log was dry though and we signed our names. Thanks for the cache happyharries.

Good quick find on a cool geocaching day - cool because it kept raining on us. Quick find because the area seems to have been cleared out by people using the spot for a drinking spree. I decided not to leave a trackable for that reason. We covered the container with twigs and leaves. Surprised this one is visited more often.

Easy find. Once again though, showed up to take a teachable that wasn't there. Also, cache was full of water. Emptied it out as much as I could.

found the geocache, was open and all over the place, i put what i could find that belonged to the geocache box back in it! It was my very first geocache!!!:D:D!!!!

A nice easy one and another very much appreciated by the geokids although the playground was a tad busy today. TFTC

A nice easy find and very quiet here today. TFTC

Found quite quickly, and guarded by what appeared to be a double-headed caterpillar, we spent longer waiting for our companions, who were waiting for us at a different spot! A phone call sorted it out, and we were soon reunited. TFTC. =•,•=

It helps if I had put the right GPS coordinates in. Whoops. Lucky the iPhone was pointing us in the right direction. Found by team Micra at 1:50pm. TNLN. TFTC. SL.

Found by team micra after washing our car this arvo at the carwash next to the park. Spent a bit of time looking around the wrong tree thanks to a GPSr operator error!! Eventually the iPhone got there. TNLN. TFTC.

First cache found, out of about 5. Used clue and found easily. Both log and cache are soaked, needs maintenance. Left c3-po, TFTC.

Well this looks to be a busy little cache today. I found the cache and noticed someone nearby so I shot off about 20m from GZ to inspect the cache. Err.. wheres the log? After pouring the water out of the cache, I looked up the person was near GZ. Some introductions yielded it was ISTJ. (Very nice too meet you ) I decided to leg it back to the car and get a new log book and plastic bag. After a chat with ISTJ, I re-hid the cache and thats when I found the log book - under where the cache had been. As the log book was in a shocking condition, I collected it and left the new log book in the cache. TFTC happyharries

Saw there was a geocache near where I grew up so checked it out. Met another geocacher (can't remember his nick) who was there finding it at the same time! He replaced the log book because the old one was wet. TFTC!

Disturbed by muggles. Note book wet. Found in open ground - put back at base of largest tree (assume that's it's home)

Please-please inform me - where is my TB Estonian Girl ?

This was cache # 7 of 30 for the day, on another nice warm days caching. A nice spot to visit, I had no trouble finding this one. My thanks to happyharries for the cache.

Relocated by Norm'Ozzi
Thanks

If the previous logger hadn't moved it so far we might have been able to find it.

At least we know we aren't going blind - didn't have the updated co-ords.

Found this one today while enquiring for a new GPS in the area
Found the box lying on th ground as the wood had been a little treamed by the BCC gardeners.
I placed the box some 50meters further.

The new coordinates are :

S27 30.929
E153 03.645

Still where it says so in the Hint !
TFTC and Greetings From Norm'Ozzi

Cheers !

Found on an early morning run around Camp Mountain. TFTC

Bring the geo kids ,great playground and the cache was easy to find

First find of the day thanks for this one

We were out and about today, and found ourselves not far from this cache, so we headed off for an easy find. TFTC happyharries

Nice challenging one, especially without my lookout/decoy. TNLN

Nice to see the council adding another bikeway. Yes the ground works were a distraction, but with a relatively quick search the cache was ours.
TNLN TFTC

Easy Find

Very Wet, area road works going on near it !

Caching with geokid and geowife geodog stayed bit rainy beautiful weather for hunting

Great little cache! Forgot a pen though so didn't sign. Geochihuahua and I had great fun. Took robot, left dinosaur head.

Second time lucky! Think we saw another geocacher lurking around? We weren't about to give up a second time, though, so we dove straight in.. found it quickly this time. Cache is a bit damp but the log is dry!

Agree with all the previous comments about the mozzies: bring repellent! Got bitten to death in our two minutes hunting.

No luck today--obviously need to come back once my caching skills have improved! My GPS struggled a bit with the tree cover, thought I had it for sure a few times, but no go. Ended up admitting defeat when a group of people arrived nearby to set up a bbq.

After decrypting a previous log just now, I'm sure I know where it is.. might have to go back later and try again.

Found this one today - watch out for all the mozzies

[Happily this one is still active.] Now at the base of a falling tree... [Interesting spot. Second cache with reference to MOTT we have done. TFTC happyharries [^]]

hmmm, no love today... should have taken more mozzie reppellent. Maybe next time.

found it. nice cobwebs and mossies. Love It!!! nice and close to home for me.

Pretty quick find, TFTC

good hide a bit of a pain putting it back but anyway TFTC

found with farcestudios and esp TNLN SL, TFTC!

Nice hide, needs a pencil

Nice Cache...
"MOSSIE ALERT" these mossie is hungry.. All future cache bring the mossie spray is trying to get this cache.

Not far from where we were staying we wandered through the park and located this one midst a cloud of voracious mosquitoes.

found with anddad after a short search

Found at 1515Hrs with bluegonz. GPSr was jumping around a fair bit under cloud cover and tree cover but eventually found OK. TNLN. Thanks happyharries.

Great little spot for a hide - quick find without any real need to worry about muggles. TFTC. TNLNSL.

found it with some ease good spot from mugglers

Took a while to find, but worth it. Beautiful spring evening around 4pm. Took dinosaur, left red robot. TFTC

Good found with friend and dog and lovely park...

A nice walk in the park and then on to GZ to find the Chief at 1045hrs. It's funny how people always think it will be near the obvious tree!

TNLN

TFTC

found with aussie convict and tiny crispy! Took awhile to pin point gz!! nice park with noone around today! tnln tftc

We think that the co-ords are a bit out, probably because it had been found in the open and rehidden. However, it is there and only requires a bit of thought to find the hidey hole.
TFTC

A fun Thursday find (although logged on friday) - quite a few possible hiding spots .... cache quite damp, although the book was nice and dry. cheers

It's been a while since my last Madmyers find so didn;t really know where to start looking. Read the hint and thought OK, that shouldn;t be too difficult.... That was until I arrived and saw all the vines....

I scoured around for 5 minuntes or so then stood back looking for typical hiding spots. Went to a likely hidy hole and bingo, cache in hand.

Thanks to MM for tucking this one away and keeping it safe.

Cheers

Ok we found the cache laying on its side out in the open in plain view. Don't know if muggles had found it and left it out - or an animal has evicted it from it's hiding spot. But we couldn't find anywhere that it even looked like it had come out of so we found a new spot - relatively close by. Our thoughts were that if muggles had found it at least we might have foiled them by moving it slightly. You need to think vines to find it now. Only moved it by about 3 feet from where we found it in the open. Thanks for the cache.

Found it fairly easy, TNLN Thanks

Our very first find in a park close to home. There were two Tawny frogmouths that seem to be nesting very close to GZ. I nearly stepped on one before I saw it, their camouflage is very good and they just don't move. Hiding in plain sight I guess.
TNLNSL TFTC

Another nice easy find. Second for the day. TNLNSL TFTC

After a short stroll through this lovely park we located the cache quite easily. There was a mother's meeting happening nearby but they seemed to have their hands full caring for their little ones and paid no attention to us at all.

Thanks for the cache. TNLNSL

A quick find in a nice park. TFTC.

Found at 1408 with a sister out with me getting a intro into Geocacheing. Cache safe and well in a little bit of bush in a park. TFTC.

Found it
TFTC

Was over this side of town for a job and stopped by for this quick and easy find.

TNLN TftC

Entered into the book of LEDGIN'S. Spotted cache from 20 m away as it was not covered very well. I feared the worst but Chief Mott is fine. TNLN. T4TC.

I was driving past and the GPS went 'PING' so I thought I should try a quick stop/find.
Sure enough, even though we just had a large storm, this cache was still nice and dry.

Interesting how often I spot "workers" parked in "out of the way" spots in parks during the working day...mmmmm. Luckily the trees provided sufficient cover (although I suspect the "worker" was napping anyway). GPS all over like a mad-woman's breakfast - but hey, who needs a GPS with a geo-sign like that?!?!?!? Thanks for the cache happyharries - svn07

Nice park and nice hide. TFTC.

Found it ... TN and left Chinese Coins

Found it fairly easily. TFTF

The tree cover was throwing the GPSr off a bit, but something caught my eye and cache found.

TFTC

Found this cache very quickly. TFTC!

we found it thanks

Accompanied with PatOx for the day. She found it before me. We enjoyed walk along to the cache. SL. Thanks happyharries for organising the cache and hunt.

lots of red herrings!! [trees] found in the end.

Found with Ant24. TFTC! [:o)]

Out this afternoon with Claire_geo picking up a few quick caches.

This was first on our list, a pretty easy find in a nice park that neither of us had been to before.
