### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###

----------

Hi there Rescue-201,

It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is an issue. The cache has been temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed.

**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.**

#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache and repair and/or replace or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked and [**ENABLE your cache**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ). Then sit back and wait for the logs of praise to roll in.

- **Place A Write Note Log::-** Reviewers don't have a crystal ball, so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, or you have been in hospital, or the area is in flood, they can't tell what is going on with the cache.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) and when a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
**Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks, so as to keep everyone up to speed.**

- **Adopt/Archive:-** If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**Archive it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56), so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when a Reviewer next looks at the cache page, it is likely that they will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) on the basis that it has been abandoned.

Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

**JUST A TIP:-** Have you checked out the new Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own? Have a read about it [**HERE.**](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/07/welcome-to-the-cache-owner-dashboard/?newsletter=PM) You will find your very own dash board [**HERE**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner?utm_source=geocaching&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=COD).

Thanks for your cooperation,

New fencing has muggles this cache

Thanks

TFTC interesting spot

Came to Wagga Wagga with Tankengine initially to attend an event or two, but due to unforeseen circumstances the events were cancelled. But we thought why not come anyway, there are so many caches here we have to pick up and there will be plenty more the next time we come back when the events are live again.

This cache: A very quick find and what a special place. Nice location!! Pity the container is starting to deteriorate. Tftc Rescue-201!!!

It is just sitting out in the open. Both the outer and inner container are perished. TFTC

What an interesting place. Thank you for the Cache. Took a swap and placed a few.

I made a quick detour to find this cache on my way to Wagga for the day. The cache was quickly spotted. I had a look at the Pioneers. Thanks for placing a cache here for me to find.

First find of the new year (2021) with Adventure-f0x

Quick stop and grab

TFTC and bringing us to this spot of importance!

After a lovely two days adventuring around Wagga Wagga with BarberBlackSheep after our original new year's plans in Canberra got cancelled it is time to head back to Sydney, not without grabbing a few caches, of course.

The weather is amazing today which is making for a pleasant drive home.

This was our first find on the trip home, arrived at GZ and spotted the hide immediately and signed with a fresh new year!

Happy new year!

Quick find at this tiny cemetery.

Found it. Great history. TFTC.

Thankyou

When I was up at Ungarie a few weeks ago and I started the WWW trail I hatched a plan. I knew the rest of my family was going away for the school holidays and so I decided that I would head to Wagga for an overnight trip and try and find 100 caches in a day for the first time. At that point I had collected 50 (and then last weekend I got 54) in a single day, but triple figures was really only possible with a powertrail - and the one The Drovers had set up was worth the effort. So I took a day off work and headed up to make the attempt before everyone gets back tomorrow. Thankfully the weather was not as hot as yesterday so it was a pleasant day driving the blue road grader on the trails north of Wagga.

Up at 5:30 with the first cache at 6AM and by 4PM I had the 100 caches - in the end I got 117 (1 multi, 2 virtuals, 3 earthcaches and the rest Trads - the one solved puzzle was too busy even at 6:30AM). I saw one big Brown Snake, added a couple of birds to my annual list (including Crimson Chats near Gumly Gumly), and saw lots of Caper Whites. Also got plenty of grazes, banged both shins on logs, got a splinter under one fingernail, and suspect I will lose another after dropping a rock on an unlogged Roostaman hide. Climbed a few trees, founds some clever caches and generally had a fantastic time.

This slight diversion was very unexpected - a very solemn location and a favourite point added for bringing me here. The lid of the cache is cracked (may not be waterproof but has been taped together) and I did not see the TB (wish I had grabbed it as it6 has been in a couple of my caches). As I left some Crimson Chats were on the fence so nice to finally find these (there has been an irruption in SE NSW and northern Victoria).

Quick park and grab. THTf. Took nothin, left nothing

After dropping the child at at Borambola for a camp we thought we would sneak some caches in.
Couldn’t believe that we found little I.k Brunel in this cache, only weeks earlier we had him in our possession and took him on some adventures and left him over an hour away closer to home.
Nice to see him again but left him for an adventure with someone else. Safe travels little dude!

Lovely little location. TFTC

Great easy find

#3425 On our way from Canberra to Lockhart for the day. Signed log, replaced as found. TFTC.

Quick find driving from ACT to Lockhart, this was a pleasant stop over cache. Tftc

TFTC. We are in Wagga for a grey Nomad festival. Having been busy with volunteer duties over the last few days it was time to go out and find a cache or two. These small cemeteries are dotted through out the country and a poignant reminders to our pioneeers. A quick easy find after reading the headstones.

Nice easy find with my son and daughter. Beautiful day for caching! Thanks to rescue-201 for this one!

Tftc. Quick find today.

Thankyou, gorgeous little spot to see.... a little bit of someone's history

Tftc first find for a new geocacher today

Returning home to wodonga from Wagga area. Close on 100 caches for a 24 hr period I had no time to log every cache individually. I would like to thank all Cache owners for there effort in placement of caches. If there was any problem regarding a cache, I would certainly inform the CO via message or log depending on the issue if any. Cheers.

What an interesting Cemetery. The Saxon Family Jonathan & Anne had a total of 10 children which today is a lot, but back then it was the norm.

This is a family of with a lot of tragedy in their life. It started with their youngest dying a little over 3 yrs old, then 5 yrs later their Ann the mother died of cancer, a couple of weeks later the father past of a possible spider bite which lead to blood poisoning.

Their daughter Francis married Thomas Cowell and they had 2 children. All was going well until Thomas sister-in-law grew jealous of their children and shot dead their daughter.

It seams that this family was set for disaster from the beginning. I do hope that this did end and they have a much better life today.

Thanks for bring us to this piece of history, I do like these type of places, Rescue-201 Lil Donna

TFTC!
What a different little spot!
Found with Shellumbus and RedLeader&Fox2 whilst on our Hidden Creature Adventure.

Out to gather some mythical creatures with indianagleeson and shellumbus. I have a toddler so seeing the little ones grave made me tear up but it's great to see these pioneers are still remembered. The log was full, added a new one. TFTC.

T4TC - Didnt know thus was here until i seen this cache. Also some beautiful old ruins near by.

Made my way on the short drive up the dirt track to GZ and made a nice quick find once there. TFTC.

Found straight away thank you

Found on the 18/02/2018 at 2:11:00 PM

My second and last day of my last minute decision to travel into the Riverina region to cache.
With an early start and a full cup of coffee I was ready to hunt.

In the end I totalled 81 finds for the day, and got back home just after dark.

Thanks for the caches.

TFTC. Quick find by torchlight after last light to drop a trackable near the airport so he can fly!

Beautiful memorial. Sad. Nice easy find. TFTC

TFTC easy park and grab

A sad tale here.

I have a day off, should I or shouldn’t I go caching. About that time I received a message from a friend saying if she could get a lift to Wagga and that made my mind up. Yes! I will go caching today! It started out with cloudy, rainy weather and ended up fine and sunny. Thank you all CO’s for fun and for the caches I found today.

I would never have known that this location existed unless this cache was placed here. TFTC and the for the history lesson of the area.

Suscoe was out and about this morning heading to the east of Wagga.
It was a clear morning with blue skies approaching and a delightful day emerging from the night.
The countryside changed from the city to the country and we enjoyed all the views as we headed around the roads.
Thanks to Rescue-201 for this hide, an interesting location.

Heading north to Sydney and grabbed a few caches along the way to break the trip up and this was one of them.

After parking nearby the cache was soon found and once the log was signed all was returned as found.

Always pays to read a cache description BEFORE looking or it lol. God a little out and had me wading through waist high grass. Once it settled a nice fast find! TFTC

A quick find whist out and about with the Croker Crew. I love the old grave type caches. Thanks for the Cache

A quick find while waiting for a plane. Very interesting spot. T4TC

Quick easy find. Thumbs up

Accurate coordinates and easy access made for a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Rescue-201 for the cache.

Log a bit tatty but found a spot to sign

Too wet for muggles and dogs this morning on the way to school. Easy find. Tftc!!

Thank you for taking me to this nice little memorial that I would never known existed. TFTC

Nice easy find with the kids

Another look into the past. Dropped off a Geocoin. TFTC

Came to Wagga to attend an event, so making a weekend of it. Up early to grab a few caches. Enjoyed making this easy enough find and the history about it. It is so dry, the area desperately needs rain.
Thanks Rescue-201 for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.

Interesting place. TFTC

Needs a new container tftc

Found with my parents on our way home to Canberra after a weekend in Wagga. Interesting spot. Container needs replacing though. TFTC

Took a walk from the RAAF Base down to this cache this evening. A small reminder of how different the modern pioneer spirit is from that of those who got us to here. A bit ironic using some of the best that modern technology has to offer to find reminders of how basic life used to be. Well worth the walk.

TNLNSL. TFTC Rescue-201.

RIP family

What an amazing piece of history nestled in the area. Never knew this was here, I love caches with history!! Thanks so much for bringing us here!!

Travelling Wagga with BAB - Catching up on a few quick caches - Log signed TN swaps left - TFTC

Found by edmil and maddie. Third find for the day. We like these caches that turn out to be little gems of history. It is an un-signposted piece of history that we would have driven by if not for the cache. Log signed.
Our micro compass Rose Geocoin dropped by for a visit to acknowledge the historical aspect of the cache. We use our Geocoin to mark caches that take us to historical places or to caches that are a little less ordinary.
TFTC

Never been out here and thank you for bringing us out and showing us this part of history - TFTC a quick easy find - Container is starting to deteriorate a little but still holding up well - Some good swaps in here TNLN - Log signed

#1404 5 of 27 today.

Today B737 & I made a return trip to Wagga Wagga as we notice the RGGT trail had been maintained. I was behind the wheel this time with B737 as navigator. Jetfusalage stayed at home manning the playstation. We'd missed about 9 of the series last time & were keen to complete it. Today it was quite a bit warmer than our last trip & it was interesting to see how the scene had changed.This time it was much drier and we had our first experience of grass seeds in the socks for the summer. We really like Wagga Wagga. It's clearly a prosperous country centre with heaps of caches. But it's quite hard to plan a route around an unfamiliar town. We had a knack of seeking all the most difficult or missing caches and spending way too much time looking for them. We'll just have to come back I guess.

A very interesting stop. Reading the headstones made me think how hard rural life was back in the early days.

Thanks for the cache Rescue-201.

Quick find on a day flight from Canberra with StrangeTrousers as pilot to pick up the rest of the RGGT trail and some others in the vicinity. I love old family cemeteries like this although it's always sad to see children passing so young. The headstones look recent too, it's nice that someone still cares enough to maintain the memorials. TFTC Rescue-201

I was a bit hesitant to be going on this road, but it was going on dusk so thought I could sneak up and grab this one. A quick grab and then off. TFTC

Wow nice hidden spot! Never knew this was here! Tftc!

Nice place.

The last one for the night..it was about 12.30am, the near by dogs frighten the ______ out of me.. lucky they where just checking ... but I sware if it had of barked I would have_______ myself.. they just walked up to the front of the car was when the lights where put on they where staring at us....
But all good and back to the Motel for some much needed rest.
Found with Arielisme
TFTC

Found with mlroberts73, last cache for the night and probably good it was, after being scared by some bats at an earlier cache, this one had the near by dogs come checking on us much to mlroberts73 horror.
I heard a tinkling bell as I walked back to the car, I spotted 2 eyes in the darkness looking at us, I told mlroberts to get in the car, she didn't argue lol
After hitting the lights so we could head off, there were 2 dogs just standing there, they were probably harmless, just checking on what we were doing.
We were happy that they didn't bark and draw attention to whoever may of been in the house.
Thanks for the laughs on this one.

TFTC - interesting cache, with history.

Find 25 + 1 DNF on a trip down to Wagga Wagga. After stopping in Gundagai for lunch we continued down the Hume highway to Tarcutta before heading back towards Wagga. A quick find with Chocolistick03 not too far off the highway. Thanks Rescue-201 for the detour to an interesting piece of history.

My first one.
