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.

Can this one please be put to sleep?

Did it get washed away.???? Visited just after all the rain, i know creek might have been up?? but seeing by previous posts....no one has found for a while??

Hi Happy Harries: Had this cache on our list today only to realize it was LAST FOUND IN 2008!! Could you check it please and if you are not able to maintain it perhaps another cacher in the area would take it on.

Another missing Brisbane cache. Can this be made unavailable?

Wonder if this could be checked for existence or otherwise?

Couldn't find it after searching... must be washed away as previous cacher mentioned.
Thanks

Searched under lots of trees, but couldn't find the prize.
It looks like there may have been some water through here recently? It may have disturbed the cache.

Wow they sure are close to each other! It took us a while to find our way in but having seen a man on the path below we worked it out.

I felt a bit like an intruder coming here, but the cache was soon in hand and I was out of there! TFTC!

Found it on the way home from work.
Recent flooding may have worried the cache!!

Now how does that old 60's song go? "Little boxes, little boxes" TFTC

Found OK.

Found the cache at 3pm. Lovely houses.... Enjoyed wander the path etc. SL. Thanks happyharries for organising the cache and hunt.

No probs with the find, not a bad spot, rather cool, thank you for the placement.

Nice quick find with TheWonderstuff. Enjoying out look around the suburbs.

Yuck...not my cup of Earl Grey. And I didn't find the cache either . GPS leaped about a bit (batteries low). Might try again sometime but in no great hurry - felt a bit obvious in this sterile..oops "stellar" environment.

15th of 18 for us today.

A quick drive through the "Stellar" residential complex on the way to this cache was definitely an experience. The Ksix's come from a "typical" suburban housing block (low set on a big block with plenty of room for the geokids and a dog etc etc). Walking through this complex, we all felt as though we had to whisper and not make any noise at all... It was a really strange feeling. Definitely not the way we would choose to live, but each to their own I suppose.

The cache was located after a short search. The contents were a little damp, so we dried things out as best we could before replacing.

Thanks for the hunt happyharries.
Cheers

No 13 of 15 for the day. The cache contents were a bit damp, but other that that, all is well.

Greetings from South Africa

found with geomum and brother in tow while they dug around the biggest tree they could find I walked up to a smaller less likely tree and there it was tftc

After many months of trying (and a hint from friends), finally managed to complete this one. now for all the others that I have recorded a DNF on

Found it quite easily this morning, it was somewhat exposed. Just can't work out why it was located on one of our previous visits. TFTC

1256hrs had some lunch before grabbing this one, wasn't too hard to find. TFTC.

Found with cool dog micro's are always a challenge

A quick look but didn't find it. TFTH

Found a brief hunt around. Thankfully it was very quiet
at the time I visited. TNLNSL. Hanks Happyharries for the cache.

Just about to give up then a voice from a friend yelled found it. Thanks Friend.

Love sneaking around in these urban areas - think I missed my calling! Nice to see a few prickly bushes though. Went there right on dusk, then had to head to Bunnings for a torch. TNLN TFTC

Found after a bit of scratching around the area! (My gosh!!! I remember when they were building this area! Can't believe the housing!) Recently my HappyHarry finds haven't been too successful, so it was good to log one today! TFTC.

Found in the second place I looked. I found the coordinates to be ok and the hide was very logical. The housing reminded me of similar ones in England which I thought were just as bad! Thanks happyharries.

Not found on a quick zip around with Weekend Maverick to follow up on caches planeed for and not got to on the Ekka holiday..

Searched high and low... This has really been well hidden...

I shall return!

Just looking at the water washed debris, and it tells me that the water must hoot through here during the rains... All in all a nice little place

Found this one after quite a search. The last cacher did a good job of putting it back, so I did too. TN/LN/SL. I drove through that estate [xx(]. Pretty sterile sort of place that's not my cup of tea at all. My son however loves 'em. He's a house painter and these places mean he doesn't have to drive all over the city from job to job. What's that about an ill wind ...?

I guess I'll have to try this one again later.

Cache was sitting there completely visible. Covered a little better with leaves. My 2002 Refidex shows this area as bushland or acreage ... TFTC

Reminded me of Japan in terms of uniformity and density - though not in size. I'd be escaping to where the cache is as often as possible if I lived here. Mind you, if it meant I could stop renting, I'd live here and be happy about it! Didn't see the TB, but it wasn't my turn to rifle through the contents . TFTC. ='.'=

Oops. Did I miss a TB. Sorry La Kedi. Found cache though, safe and sound. Quite a nice little park isn't it? TFTC

Here with Moneydork

A nice quick find. Took U4D Travel Bug - now bound for NZ.

nice path

thanks bitsprayer

Found the right spot after a short look around.

A very different sort of neighbourhood this one. Not sure I'd like to live here.. too much grey concrete and not enough grass! Found the cache easily whilst dodging a lone fishermuggle. TFTC!

Thanks for making this hunt easy as I was killing some time before heading work. Nice area but no way could I live there...too close with neighbours!

Found by Sunshine Toledo at 12:20pm. You wouldn't want to sneeze in any of these houses or everyone in the street would hear let alone anything else. No family arguments here or everyone would join in. TNLNSL TFTC

Find 16 of 33 caches today

Wow, we certainly take for granted living where we do in the 'hideaway' you wouldnt be able to do anything here without the neighbours hearing!!!

One of my few Happyharries caches that I could find.

Relocated to a better position. Follow the path to a small geokid park.

** Coordinates Changed From **
S 27° 29.316 E 153° 06.107
Distance From Old: 247.2 feet
As this development is nearing completion I was able to relocate the cache to a more user friendly location.
Happy hunting.

Hmmm - had a rummage around quite a few trees in search of this one to assess the water damage but unable to find.

Also had the constant feeling that many muggle eyes were upon me from the surrounding boxes [even got approached by a couple all excited about the prospect of living in there????] so didn't want to get too enthusiastic about probing the recently rain-wet undergrowth.

Maybe will try again on another day/time/weather pattern.

Forgot to log a "needs maintenance".

Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky,
Little boxes, little boxes,
Little boxes, all the same

Found @15:20 *Water Damage* I had some small zip lock baggies, but the log is beyond repair and needs replacement. TFTC anyway

Thanks for the cache

Is anyone even living here yet? Cute little housing development, not sure if I'd live here but each to their own. I kind of like my back yard. Found with Mr Nosugref and Eze Fixed on our cache haul of 15 today. This was number 2. TNLN, cache log is a bit wet still. TFTC.

Hmmm, not our choice in housing. Good hide though. Wonder if the neighbours will object to perculiar people invading their space when they occupy their cubby holes? Did this with Dosphaoenix and Eze Fixed.

Mrs NANKS found this one today in the showery rain. Luckily most of the residents were tucked up inside on this dull day. I still felt a bit dodgy amongst the housing, but nevertheless I grabbed the cache, quickly signed it and high tailed it out of there!

Found after scrambling around for a bit. Luckily no one from the nearby homes were around. Thanks happyharries

Nice and quite down at Stellar this morning. Darksiders must sleep in on the weekends. TFTC

(Cache log is very wet)

Kept one eye on the open windows and the other on the nearby workmen. That didn't leave much for finding the cache.

Wandered back and forward and then made quick forage into the suspect area and came up with the goods at the first attempt.

Do people really live here??? Think I will stay with the Crews Inn. I haven't seen my next door neighbours yet and they moved in 6 months ago.

Out caching with Nasty Steve and Family. A very exposed gz. After comparing gps readings and deciding upon a search zone...we came up empty. We searched further afield and once again came up empty. Phoned a friend to ensure that we were indeed in the correct area. Hmmmm out be a few metres. Sent the youngest member of the team over to our 'new' gz and bingo....first spot searched revealed the cache.

Thanks for the cache and a big thanks to Ms Steve

First find for our day of dark side caching with Wingaap. Felt very exposed while looking for this one. Had quite a good look and still came up empty handed. Wingy phoned a friend to confirm we were in the ball park. Sent the GeoDaughter in to conduct a better search and she emerged with the cache. No swaps today. TFTC!

Sixteenth of twenty finds in company with The Garner Family and HawMorFords. Found at 2300. We had an interesting time at this one. To be honest, I don't think it's an appropriate place for a cache, especially for a night time raid. We pulled up and piled out of the car. We saw the owner of the adjacent property at a window; he had noted our arrival. I think he was alarmed as well as alert. In fact, while TGF was looking for the cache, I caught him again stealing a peek at what we were doing, but when he saw I was looking back at him, he quickly dropped out of sight. I think he was either calling for the brown trousers, or possibly the police. We quickly signed the log and got out of there before the terrorist squad turned up. It's a micro, so I made no exchange. Thanks to happyharries for the cache.

STELLAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!!!! I was going to yell it out at the cache site, but unfortunately with the cache being but 10m from someones house & them peering out the window at us (and ducking away when we peered back) Dak's Emu Mob, Mr Hawmorford and myself decided it best if we kept quiet for this one and just did our business and got out of there.

We did just that.

Out for a bike ride today and first stop was a stellar location
This is how I imagined the area would look. Very sterile and unwelcoming [|)]
Good of them to install the bike track though

Co-Ordinates have now been updated.Sorry IF for sending you on a wild goosechase those hills would have been good for your bike legs though.Thanks pirate for alerting me to the error. Happier caching now.

Two degrees below Ground Zero.

aaaarghhhh ! Thanks to the pirate, we were able to pick this one up by way of a slight detour on our way to the Bayside Bash.

Thanks to the happyharries for the cache.

Aaaargh! Thanks to the pirate's. So I shou'd be lookin' two nautical miles away [:o] Aaaargh...

Sorry the co-ordinates are not correct will amend them ASAP.

Oh !!! I see..... I was going to log a DNF - I can now see why i didn't find it at the posted coords. Well done Pirate!

A quick drive by today. The ute didn't look out of place with the nearby construction site nearby. Searched another likely looking tree about 20m from GZ. Still no luck. Feeling a bit conspicuous, so I left [:o]

aaaaargh!FIRST TO PLUNDER!ye' pirates would'nt live here,there be no water!,found ye wanted parrot poster that scallywag if saw, and he told me there be nothin'to see 'ere!,so ye'pirates worked it out that that if ye change ye'04 to 06 ye' be on ye' booty!

A quick stroll by today
I was expecting some high density housing scheme here. Some very nice houses here however. The tree had a poster for a missing parrot pinned to it. After a quick search I felt a bit exposed just standing there so moved on
While the HH's were mowing their endless acreage If was out finding caches. Hooray for CBD living
