###Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.
I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner.

The cache owner needs to:

* Take action to restore the cache or address any issues such as correcting the D/T rating.
* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log
* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done, and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute which is present.

Otherwise :
* Post a Note Log to request more time if necessary, or provide other information..
**Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this, that is for use only **when you actually do something to repair the cache**.

Alternatively:

* Archive the cache, and remove any remaining geo-litter from the site.

In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page to await owner action by team stilllookin and to take it off the playing board to prevent further geocaching community inconvenience.
[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)
**I will check back in 30 days** to see that action has been by the CO.
If nothing has happened, I will assume that the cache has been abandoned and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache.
*Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*

The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is there, and in good condition, waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

Please see [my profile page](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u=Balayang) for additional information.
Thank you

No maintenance has been carried out. Was last found 3 years ago. There has been Bush fires through the area so it possibly has been destroyed.

Had a look here, not sure if this one has survived the fires, been a long while since last found.
Great views from here

I don’t think it’s here anymore

We couldn't find any cache, we think it was burnt at the last bushfire.

Heading back to Newnes after a morning trip to the Blackfellows Hand Cave. Parked in the nearby parking bay and MrT walked up to GZ. There was a burnt out tree at the coords. He had a look around, but was unable to locate the cache.

TFC, geokid was pleased with the size and calibre of swaps

Found on the way to a 2 day walk on Donkey Mountain. The bottle of nail polish kept some of the team amused for a while.

Found by Sarah, with Swampcreature and some others, at the start of a two day hike up Donkey Mountain.Tftc

A quick stop on the way to Donkey Mountain for a 2 day hike. Found it in good condition exactly where we expected it to be.

Found this one on the way home from a camping trip to Newnes. TFTC!

A freezing cold night camping in the valley and it lead to a lovely warm day. When i check the thermometer it read -7 in the morning.

We pulled up at the carpark and found three blokes taking photos, professionally, of a mercedes sports car. When we mentioned that we were going on a short hike and may be about 20 minutes. They asked us to move our car about 30m. We were asked what we were doing. We mentioned geocaching. One bloke said "Ahh, I told these guys you were probably geocaching." Obviously we had that intelligent(?) and obsessive look. With our pockets bulging with spare plastic bags and logsheets, tweezers, pens, torches, etc. He then asked us to take a TB that he has had for awhile. Anyway, we found the cache. TFTC

Found, our 4th geocache

Found with ~moni~ tftc

Cool spot and amazing view! Loved it.

Was heading to Newnes to camp for 5 days. As we entered the valley my driver stopped near here for a photo. I went to the cache and made a quick find tftc

Whoa! What a fantastic view from here! Thanks for making sure we stopped in this great place.

TFTC

Nice area and great views. Thanks for placing. Signed and replaced.Tftc

Found by the one arm bandit

1st for the day of caching – a very nice clear morning on this day – had been raining over the weekend so the tracks are a lot wet – nice to complete this 1 – a TOP view looking the valley - TFTC / TFTH / SL

Found while visiting the area from Perth WA on a work trip. Thanks for the cache. All in good shape.

Nice easy find on a Sunday afternoon out and about. TFTC

Nice easy find after a 4WD Club day trip to the Glow Worm Tunnel. TFTC

Found with jacksf.
Easy find. Thanks.

Great views! Found with macca88

It had been a long time since we'd been out this way - the road has certainly been improved from the pot holed patchwork strip it had once been hereabouts. We parked at the lookout layby and wandered the short distance up the hill to the cache. Nice views here on such a lovely sunny day.

This was a quick stop on our way to Donkey Mountain. Spectacular views from near the poles.

yebo Team Stillokin
what a place to hide a cache, grande! and grand is the view, which we passed yesterday first time being not aware that we would want to stop here again to get hold of your cache
tftc

Would have been a quick and easy find if it wasn't for that view. We almost forgot to look for the cache!

We are spending a week in the Lithgow area for the September School holidays, staying at the Lithgow Caravan Park. Today we were heading out to Newnes, and visiting a few caches along the way. This was our 2nd find of the day, 42nd find of the holiday.

Stopped off in the roadside parking bay, crossed the road and headed up the steep slope to GZ for a quick find. Great views down the Wolgan valley from up here at GZ. Much better than most people settle for down at the parking bay. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Find #735

Love the view. Thanks.

Found today with pjmpjm while on a Trig hunting expedition.
Amazing views from this spot, well deserving of a geocache.
Thank you for taking us to this place, enjoyed every minute of it.

rogerw3 and I mounted a trig expedition today to find the two Wolgan Gap Trigs. Having finished this task success successfully, we looked for a few nearby GCs, and the Wolgan Gap traditional was just the thing.

What a beautiful place! We couldn't believe the view as we drove towards GZ, and when we pulled over to the side of the road at a very likely spot, we immediately began planning our photos.

The cache was placed as described, in a very secure hiding spot that will kept it nice and dry.

All was in good order. TNLNSL and replaced the container securely.

Many thanks to team stilllookin for taking us to such a great spot.

Giving this one a favourite point for the amazing views . . .

Great views. Love this one because it overlooks my favourite place.

Wow ! What an amazing view & what a road!!! Tnsl

Found this no problem, The cliff refrenced in warning are indeed a worry - but no where near the actual cache.

Easy,

Easy,

Found quick and easy. Amazing views. Left a couple of army men and took a slop keyring. Cache for the 15 year souvenir.

Find #5216

Day 13 of my epic northern adventure and it was coming to an end and we were slowly winding our way home. With the MEGA event in Stanthorpe over for another year, Jamin Appleford and I had some select caches to find on the way including some very old caches from 2000 and 2001.

After camping somewhat illegally unbeknownst to us in a non camping area nearby, we woke to the pleasant sound of the nearby waves. After discovering we were not supposed to camp where we did, I was keen to get moving and pack up camp. Time to head inland towards the Blue Mountains!! After finding Black Panther around the corner, decided to head around the corner to this one. A magnificent view here, just a pity about the power lines..

Thanks to Team Stilllookin for the cache. TNLN

Big things are happening! Are you joining the fun?

Heading back to Victoria with AHomburg after the Oz Mega in Stanthorpe. Stopping for a few caches along the way.

We ventured out this way for the Black Panther cache but couldn't resist checking out this view. We found the cache easily then decided this was a great spot to stop for lunch.

Out for Easter at Newnes so ducked out with Susanscallywag for a quick find.

Out in the area for the Easter weekend, we stopped to appreciate the views and made this quick find. TFTC

A day out exploring a new area. First cache for the day. TFTH

Found on a little trip out to Newnes, So glad we stopped here, great views of the Valley.Thanks for another nice cache team stilllookin!

Found when returning from Newnes, with Mosaikmum and Agelessone. Great hide and amazing views. Thanks for the cache.

A quick find by geokid and myself on our wayy out of the valley following a weekend attending the Glow Worm Trail Running Weekend. Such a beautiful spot!. Thanks for placing a cache here and giving me the chance to step back once more and admire the views.

#2320- The family were on our way for a camping weekend away to explore the ruins at Newnes with TeamCanary, and this was one of our first stops along the way. Not only did I need a cache to fill the blank day in the calendar,but it is always great to grab a decent sized cache and in such a brilliant spot. The boys were happy to take in the awe inspiring views before we moved on. Thanks team stillookin for the encouragement to stop here.

After stopping and admiring the view, it was a short walk to find the cache.

#2,010

I wanted to go camping this weekend, bikerbuddy suggested Newnes. And so I got to make my first visit to the Wolgan Valley .

We walked up to find this cache first, then went to admire the views. Firstly from high point near the cache, then we went across the road to view from another angle. The timid lady with the little dog loved the views, and hopefully she will return to drive further into the valley another day.

Thanks

It's been years since I've been to Newnes. My family came from Newnes (great grandfather) and Lithgow (my father) and I helped rebuild the Pipeline track when I was younger. It seemed a good time to return, since Toriaz had never been to the Wolgan Valley. This was a perfect place for a cache, since the gap is a great place to look into the valley. When we got back to the car we met a nervous lady with a little dog who asked us lots of questions about the area. She had shied away from driving into the valley on her own, but like many people, she appreciated the views. Thanks

Visiting (temporary) muggle friends in Lidsdale this weekend and grabbed a few caches while here.
We tried to find this one last year as muggles using a car GPS but being newbies we didn't have a chance really. We signed up very soon after.
Back again for another shot this year and made a quick find, experience makes a difference. Enjoyed coming out here again. Thanks team stilllookin

No problems locating this cache. The view was beautiful so much so that we revisited in the afternoon for the perfect photo. TFTC.

Awesome views and worth the wander up the hill.

Did this cache on the way into Newnes at night time , so we did get to see the great view from here. I wasn't expecting the cache to be in this location as I was thinking it might be a quick park and grab, how wrong was I! TFTCM
Cheers

Found 2 days ago with geodaughter. 2nd find for the day. Tftc

Great views, rainy today second cache for Easter morning tftc

TFTC TNLN

Another excellent cache team stilllookin. Have been out here several times since I started caching but always put off by the rain. SO when it was still raining today I thought I'd better just do it! The view really is a lot better up here also! TFTC. Picked up TB.

Nice easy find - I drove up the hill and parked under the power lines with a sleeping baby in the car.
I was amazed at how much better the view was from just a little above the road - you can see heaps more! Thanks for bringing me here.

Driven this way so many times, first time I've looked for the cache here. TFTC dropped off snoopy schizle TB

great hide great place to stop and take some photos. TFTC

Found this with cachemagnets and other members of my family - great find for the kids (this was their first cache find) and a wonderful view of the Wolgan Valley! TFTC

Great day out with the family on the way to find the Newnes cache. Cache found quite easily. This find was the first time other members of our family have been with someone finding a cache. They have been bitten by the bug.

Found it! This was my last find for the day before heading down to Newnes to set up camp for the night. SL took a small light, left a dragon. TFTC

Great views - thanks for bringing us here.

Nice cache in a great spot - thanks.

Camping at Newnes, I went to the ruins and forgot the GPSr, couldn't believe it and the river was too high to go back in a hurry. Oh well, I will have to return to Newnes some other time, not a great hardship. On the way home, I spotted this one, and had to go for it. It turned out to be a good spot to stop and view the valley. Thanks for bringing me here.

18:07 Hrs
I was a bit disappointed that Webguy wouldn’t drive up next to the cache. After all, isn’t that what a drive by cache is all about?
I hobbled up the short climb and grabbed the cache anyway!

Thanks Team Stilllookin.

A fairly quick one to find, although Wingnut was disappointed that Webby didn't park next to it. Would have been interesting getting out of the 4x$4 on that slope.

Reperio at 1810.

The last cache for the day, and whilst this one was pretty much a drive by, the views extending out across the east were amazing! We tried to coax Webguy into driving right next to the cache, but I think he more fun watching Wingnut trying to walk up it with a crook foot. A great spot.

Gratias team stillookin.

What a great view, off to Newnes now..

Excellent place for a cache. Ever wondered why trees get holes in them like this?? I do.

Here at Christmas and had to come back

Brought the van and the trusty Jack

Couldn’t say much for the view

Rain and cloud pretty much came on que

No matter, we knew what this place was about

Prefer to come now than in drought

Off to Newnes camp

Not even thinking about being damp.

Found with Lion45BX. SL TNLN

Found while out with Shogana. SL

Found this one after spending a great weekend at Newnes. Stopped at the top of the hill, took a few photos after finding cache. Took 2 x Geocoins. TFTC

After having spent the night camping close to Newnes Industrial Ruines, we stopped at the Gap to look for this cache.
Took two Geocoins, left two others.

found with dad

Great view. Dropped off klumpies TB. Tftc!

BTW don't let the logs referring to 4WD expeditions put you off (like it almost did me). This one is completely safe for a 2WD.

Nice large cache in an easy to get to location. I was out climbing and camping in the Wolgan valley, so why not add a cache into the mix? TFTC. Rescued little GC that's been enjoying the view for a while now...

Great spot! Cache is in good condition. Will come back with the kids.

nice spot TFTC

Picked up on a 4x4 trip with DeputyD0g and homedg. Nice quick find. TFTC SL

We found Wolgan Gap (GC19D5V) on a Lithgow trip to find some local caches and do some 4x4'ing with HomeDG and SherpaNT, my 12th of 16 finds and my 1476th overall find. The Jeep made sort work of the trip up the hill, Quick find TNLNSL. Thanks for the cache, team stilllookin. Deputy D0g.

A nice easy find at the end of a days geocaching. TFTC

Steeba and I found this cache early this morning. I have spent many weekends down in those parts canyoning. The road sure looks to be in better shape than it once was!

Thanks for bring us here.

Cheers

A quick find this morning overlooking this magnificent valley. Have spent many weekend having a look around through bushwalking or canyoning down there. TFTC!

Great place to stop and enjoy the view. Thanks

We were out on a mountain bike ride. It was great to have the road to ourselves. Great views from the location. This would be a good place to camp. TNLN TFTC
