As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
Its gone??? Drove past this afternoon and it was missing. Not sure how long it has been gone for.
TFTC! Loggin alot today, so sorry theres no spcific message about the cache, but I really do enjoy every cache I find
Found it...had to make GeoJackCo make use of the thing while I got it, surprisingly he didn't want to! Signed and returned.
I'm trying to catch up on past logs today. I've let 140 caches pass without logging them. So I can't say anything specific about your cache. I'm only 10 years old, and while I love caching, I sometimes like doing other things rather than logging my finds when I get home. Sorry. Thanks for putting your cache out for me to enjoy.
We felt pretty lucky with this one. The find was easy, but that was because no-one was around. When we came back later to have lunch at the takeaway across the road, there were muggles with their kids all over the place - even a kid giving the cache "container" a good going over (The CO should know what I mean). Thanks
No 300- We found this one easily today only because it was so early. A tip- come later in the day(especially in school holidays) and you may as well forget it. Kids and parents everywhere. Thanks
First for the day by geoson. Pulled up to find nearby caches and there was one 14m away! Nice hide. TFTC.
Found this arvo on way home from Mittagong.No one around but I still have to be a bit careful as a lone man around kids playground could look suspect. Gotcha16
This was the second for the day before the weather set in this was the 131 for westmeadconcorde nice easy hard. TFTC
this is the second for the day before the weather came in and rainned us out but great hide. TFTC
All steamed up and nowhere to go HAS gone in for maintenance
Will return it back to service when it rerurns
Not too long i hope

As noted by the previous cacher, this cache needs some attention. The object it was attached to is gone, as well as the magnet it had.
After rummaging around in the litter, it was soon in hand.
Thanks for the chance to come here again, this time my train crazy son got to watch steam loco 3526 steam along next to our car after we did the caching duties.

The object where the cache is is no longer there- just a big witches hat over GZ.
After looking everywhere else for a while trusted the GPSr and soon had the cache in hand. We had fun on the swings and things whilst we were there too. TFTC!

Found it when dropping GEO-son off for his school excursion this morning.

We seen where we though the cache may have been from the car but the find took a little longer due to the nearby muggles.

In another pleasant evening of geocaching with two good mates in Deputy Dog and Homedg, the fun kept on going here I found the cache quickly and we logged our finds, I was a bit concerned with the drunk as skunk locals coming up the road but they ended up being harmless.. TFTC
This was a bit of an adventure.
While we located the cache quickly on a night caching run, the "Zoo" had just closed.
There was a girl hiding behind the nearby monument, and her friends were looking for her.
They were pretty drunk so while they were distracted by "making up" we rehid the cache.
The last thing we saw as we drove off was a guy hanging from the top of the flag pole!!!!!!

Found 20:55 after doing a FTF "No Vacancies", lucky that it was dark and no muggles having a train ride! TNLN thanks.
Could not believe it when we got to this cache. It was late last year when we spotted this magificent train and signed the log then, but did not log it. Well stopped for a rest again in the park before moving on. TFTC
Second time lucky. Nice and easy when the cache is here. It was pouring with rain which meant that there were no concerned parents giving us the evil eye this time round too.
Cheers.

Thanks for replacing this one! It was raining today, but with the steam festival this weekend I am glad we didn't try for it then!
Cheers

Checked as requested today & found it had been muggled.
Temporarily disabled cache until we can replace.
Will have it back on the system soon.

As Chip said, we searched high and low but kept coming back to the obvious location, and finding nothing. A quick phone call confirmed that we were in the correct spot. A cache check is required on this one, as I don't see how it can be where it is supposed to be!
Hoojar and I looked all over GZ. We searched all over the area and came up empty handed. We couldn't understand what we were missing so we called up for a clue. After confirmation, we discovered that the cache is either moved to another area or is missing completely.
Maybe the own could check, but we could see nothing.
Cheers.

Love the area, perfect to bring the kids along another time. I am not a fan of the actual hiding spot but at 6.30 in the morning I didn't look suspicious?

Very tricky - muggle family were close by but we managed to retrieve and replace cache whilst they were distracted. SL.
found this one with out gps great place to stop if you love trains which i do so i made a side trip on my way to the museum
used the eyes in the sky for this find, thank you google maps sat mode lol. this Cache was a nice easy find seeing as how Sgt Rios88 and I arrived in the area and decided to do the cache without GPS. TN LN TFTC Might push our luck and try for 'Garnets in the reserve' without a GPS... on second thoughts...
This was a nice easy hide in a town that is dedicated to the train enthusiasts.
Thanks
Thanks
found 4pm I wonder what line this loco ran on We were over at Thirlmere getting some wine and fruit as there are two nice shops here TFTC Bulba,s
