Bushwalker53: With a heavy heart I'm sad to say this cache is no longer viable. I had to sneak in past the big imposing fence tonight to retrieve it and discovered the rope had finally rotted away. It's had a good run! I could hide it further down the hill but it'd be a lot more visible down there and would most likely get muggled. Thanks to all who found it through the years. The old birdhouse now resides in a tree in my backyard.
