One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am 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 28 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.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Hi, whilst geocaching today we were approached by the local winery owners, they mentioned that they had found the cache and taken it as they were developing the area and that the cache could no longer be there. They gave us the cache, we will relaunch the cache in the area.

Last person to find this

Went round in circles and bingo. Tftc

#323. Easy find. Tftc!!!

In the hunter for weekend and introducing my friends kids to geocaching..2 very excited kids!!

Up here for an afternoon drive and a coffee

Up around the hunter valley this weekend to take in the sights and as a bit of a getaway, we had a couple of caches on the list that we planned to do which would also take us around the area to places we normally wouldn’t go to, a little muddy this evening on the way to the gz but enjoyed the hunt fav given thanks for the cache lilla07

Find # 2866
2:13 pm Wed 2 Jul 2014
Staying with friends at Fishing Point just south of Newcastle on Lake Macquarie.
Today we went for a bit of a drive into the Hunter Valley to get a few kms up on Terry's new car, and to try out some of the interesting features such as adaptive cruise control.
During the day I clocked up 6 finds, this being the 3rd of them.
A pleasant walk through the bush from the car park quickly lead to an easily found cache.
It was in good condition and well hidden.

Thanks for placing this cache lilla07

Yftc!;)

TRTC!! TNLN.

After a bit of wine tasting at Brokenwood, the cache was found! TFTC

A lovely day out caching with Calypso62. Found this cache on a very enjoyable trip up to the Hunter Valley.

Found on Saturday, 24 May 2014
(Log may be signed as ADI, short for AlphaDeltaIndigo)
Caching buddy: GcPhil
Cache condition: Good.
Log condition: Good

GcPhil and I were on the Cachetours Hunter Valley tour!
A quick find in a likely spot... Both of us narrowed in on the cache almost at the same time!

Quick find in an obvious spot. Thanks!

While attending a car Rally, we parked right near GZ - This was one of those finds that you just walk in and the track seems to take you straight to the hide. Great little spot - thanks for the diversion lilla07 - There were a bunch of P76 owners nearby but playing at 'nature lover' and taking photos seemed to do the trick.... no-one suspected a thing.

Attempted from the McDonalds Rd side, but no real luck there. Did see a few kangaroos though.

Re-entered from the Hunter Valley Gardens side, much more luck this way. Had to bush bash through light bush for a short period before finding the actual cache without too much trouble.

Coordinates felt about 10 metres off, but that might just be the iPhone.

Another great Vineyards find with SN, PL and Naty Perry.

Thanks for the cache!

Easy to get.

Good camo but my co ords are being funny today.

Lamphy's were stumped again.

Tftc abit reluctant to wonder through the trees quick easy find abit stumpy

Up in the Hunter for the Easter weekend with the family. I'm the designated driver today, so left them at McGuigan's for wine tasting while I went for a walk to grab this one. Nice easy find amongst good camo. TFTC!

TFTC - quick find before heading off on a wine tour

Quick little find with Rummons - now off on a wine tour!

Thanks for the cache, found on a beautiful autumns day

Found at 12:57pm. My second find in the HVG. I must admit being reluctant to walk through the trees to retrieve the cache after coming across a black snake earlier just a couple hundred metres away.

Anyway, I swallowed a concrete pill and got through to GZ with no drama's, made the find and signed log.

Mosquitos were awful after the rain. TFTC

Very easy. Paper might need to be replaced. It was mouldy.

This cache is near some great gardens that we enjoyed and the Christmas lights were spectacular!!! We found a golf ball while trekking towards the cache (some 500 metres) and so we put it into the cache. It was a great hide at a wonderful place. PS. We second watching out for spiders!! We found one as big as the palm of my hand that we had a close call with!!!

Found it!

Easy find, here for weekend. The HVG have matured since last time we were here.

Wrote in the logbook with a very faint brown pencil, I hope it's visible enough.

Found with paulyman while visiting the Hunter Valley this weekend. It's good to get a walk in before indulging in all the cheese and wine! TFTC

Quick find with snorris. The area around GZ was very quiet today, but I've been at New Years and it would be a different story trying to find the cache then. Thanks.

After getting Lets Go Aqua Golf walked over to look for this one. Was found easy as I saw it 10 meters away as I walked towards it.
After signing log noticed that there was no TB's in the cache the log says there should be 2 there.
Thanks for the cache lilla07

We were in the area this weekend for a wedding, so after the wedding we thought we would do a bit of caching.
Many thanks for the neat hide in a cool spot.
TNLN

Tftc!

Thanks

TFTC! Found with jadeleilahoney and mhoneybadger

I sent my sister off to find this one. She was gone for a while bit before long she returned. Log signed and cache replaced back amongst the vines. From all reports it was a good hide. Cheers

Geokid8 and I went searching for some quick caches while the rest of the family went to the playground. We walked into the bush, and on approach to GZ I saw the likely spot. I let GK8 catch up (he was busy playing with a stick), and let him make the find too, not hard as I had removed the camo. Took the TB, signed the log, then replaced the container and its camo. TFTC

Quick find whilst doing all the other caches at the Gardens area. Signed log, left a penny. TFTC.

Garden ???
We found this after a meet and greet event nearby.
As we approached the GZ and were looking for the best track into the bush we saw a Big GRUB and headed over to were it was standing.
The GRUB had the cache out and was signing the log so we didn't even have to look for it.

We signed it quickly and put it back in as we knew that there would be lots more people looking for it today

THANKS for the "FIND" lilla07

another party was looking so went golfing.

Geocache #493.
Found on Sunday, 25th August 2013 at 1:00 PM.
Conditions: sunny.

Today's finds 7 of 16.

My 392nd find for The Great Scouts Australia Geocaching Competition 2013.

Day twenty five of the 31 Days of Geocaching in the month of August and I headed out to claim another daily souvenir to keep #31in31 streak alive.

I headed up from Sydney to the Hunter Valley for the day to attend the Caching Among The Vines Meet & Greet Geocaching Event. Towards the end of the event, I snuck over to this cache for a quick find. I retrieved the Signal Travel Tag (TB4QTOC). On the way back I returned to the Lets Go Aqua Golf cache, which is within walking distance, to check on mancacher and his geoson, OxfordMasterCacher, who were having some difficulty with their dead GPS battery and so I offered a helping hand.

Another find on a great meet and greet day at the vineyards, TFTC lilla07!!

Found it!

Found it.

It was an easy found, however I am not sure if it should be there. The cache is actually in private property, not sure if the CO has spoken with the property owner though.

Tftf with Evil-1

Approached cautiously given the description said watch for webs and their whoppers! But didn't see anything too scary thankfully! A nice easy find in the end. Didn't see any TB in there though. Tftc!

Very nice

Nice wander through the scrub
