Berrigan Rest Spot Berrigan, New South Wales, Australia

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.

Should you like to resurrect the cache please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

From http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache

The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.

If a geocache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance it will not be unarchived.

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.

With so many DNF i think this needs archiving?

checked under every rock. no dice!

We tried to locate this one while spending a couple of nights in Berrigan but the coordinates place gz in the roadway and a search of the area failed completely. May it needs to be archived?

Just went and check it out as I already found it and it have gone missing

Just to make sure this one has really gone walkabout, a check by the CO would be appreciated. Thanks.

A timely stop to wash our hands after all our caching activities. Unfortunately there was no cache to be found in any rocky bits today. Time for a check by the CO. Us, we are off to the lunch shop!

I think it might have been taken otherwise we must have just missed it despite leaving no rock un searched

Hi

With Crystal & Emma!

Found by the hint on todays signal my gpsr was 18 mts away some days are a bit like that. Thanks Mr David FTC. Logs FULL

Good home town find

Another drive by cache on my way through town with Prin666cess

Good find with Sabelais123:)

On your way little fellow

Found today so nice to be out and about and collecting cache's thank you for this nice easy hide.

This took much longer than it should have. We found the coordinates would not cooperate, probably due to the tall trees in the vicinity. But the main problem is that the area has recently been heavily mulched, making the cache more difficult to find. The log is full and needs replacing.
I took Whiskers the Cat TB and left Peanut Race 3 TB to continue its race

Travelling from A to B we had a lovely stop at C.
C= Berrigan Rest Stop.
A cuppu a cake and a cache, just what was needed to recharge the batteries.[^]
SL TNLN TFTC Mr.David.

Should have been an easy find but the tall trees had the Garmin in a hissy fit. In the end found it by the hint.
Thanks Mr. David for a nice stop for lunch.

Gps had us walking circles for a moment but then we saw the container in plain sight. Tftc.

A relaxing morning just touring the countryside with Indianagleeson, red Leader & fox 2. Tftc

TFTC!
Found with Shellumbus and RedLeader&Fox2.

Tftc left a bug xx

Quick find on the way out of Berrigan. Thanks for the cache.

3/3/15. Jeandog. Found easy although coordinates are a bit out. Thanks,

Found ok, co-ords were a little out, but the hint made it an easy find.

Thanks again Mr David....

[:(!] After the launch of my geoson geocanoe which he had made from marine ply and then we had lunch with them, we then headed off too Albury to be with our son and his family for a couple of days, we grab this one on the way there.

I like it

Another one of the list

TNLNSL TFTC/TFTH/TFBUH Mr.David [^]

GZ was about 15 metres off by our GPS
TFTC Mr.David.

Work was taking me to Finley today - a little way out of my normal area, so I was able to grab a few drive-by's on the way through.

This one posed a bit of a challenge during the hunt, but eventually was revealed.

TFTC

Staying in the nearby van park and going to the Berrigan Gold Cup. Just had time before the races for this one.
TFTC Mr David

As someone said was about 19 to 21 metres off coords but hint was good. Went to check some broken concrete and then returned to the rocks and saw it.

We looked under all the rocks we could find. But could not find it. : (

Found quickly, we checked out a caravan that was for sale right near the GZ so we didn't even look suspicious today lol TFTC

#1657
Found this one with the help of the hint. Today, the cache was discovered 21m away from where my GPSr indicated GZ to be. Very quiet here today. Thanks Mr.David.

Tftc found with geopartner. On way to Victoria

Our first time in Berrigan very pretty town found the cache after a bit of searching , the coords were out a bit.

A great hide. TFTC

A nice easy find this morning
Not much chance of any of the passing muggles on the highway, or even in the rest area paying any attention to you [^]

TFTC !!

Heading home to Melbourne after spending the weekend visiting family in Leeton. A quick find, while the guy in the truck parked nearby took absolutely no notice of us.

Found with help of micheena and thankfully I was with her because the cache was about 20 metres out. SL tftc

2389. A nice quiet spot here today and a quick find. Grabbed the TB. TFTC.

Took awhile to locate this one , as we were watching the start of a horse race over the road at the Berrigan race course, then put our heads down and found the cache . It is a little damp. Thanks.

TFTC found on our rd trip drop in Fred fireman & Tb

A quick drive by while heading to Albury. TFTC Mr.David.

A bit of traffic using the rest facilities (long weekend may have something to with it). TFTC

After a great weekend in Echuca we packed up and began our meandering north picking up a few different caches along the way.
We pulled up here and were very impressed by the park and the way it was being maintained. We had a bit of a search around whee the GPSr was indicating and came up with nothing so we decoded the clue and then expanded our search a little.
We located the cache 23 metres away from where our GPSr indicated today but still find able with the clue.
We made use of the amenities before heading off to the next one
Thanks for the cache.

An easy find on the way through.

TFTC

The coffee and cake happened here and incidently, lunch after we'd been north then returned.

Bettyboo, Chewinprickles and I slipped over the border for a few quick caches today.
We stopped here for morning tea. Got all the food and drinks out to the picnic table - then went looking for the cache.
It was pointing across the road for us, about 22 meters from where it was eventually found, but the clue helped.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 3094. Robmc, chewinprickles and I were heading over the border for some caching today. It was a somewhat frustrating day with a few DNF's along the way.

As we had been on the road since 7.30am this seemed like a good place to have morning tea. All our GPS readings were varying between 21 - 23 metres when chewin came up with the hide. Many other cachers have noted this so maybe it is time for an update of the listed coordinates. TFTC

2416 Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1305. The co-ords show the gz on the corner so are about 23 metres out.Even so made a quick find with the clue. SL Tnx Mr.David

Nice quick stop TFTC

Spent a day travelling from Leeton to Tocumwal, searching for caches on the way.
Most were found & in good condition.
TFTC Mr.David

Found it although the co-ords were 19meters out for us!
TFTC Mr.David

What a great caravan park and picnic area, all quiet here tonight. There must be something in the rocks or ground near GZ as the GPS compasses stopped and read that we should be out in the middle of the road.

This was going to be the start of a total clean-out of Berrigan's caches but the GPS pointed me to the middle of the highway, and the rain started again.......

Didn't write in it cause I didn't have a pen!!

A nice quick find, thanks for the rest.

Windy day no wonder the park was deserted TFTC

Found the cache quickly this morning and added some swaps, thanks.

Find 5 of 11 this afternoon with Chaplain Mike around the Berrigan area. SL TNLN TFTC!

Find 6 of 12 with Smart Sassy Siren, heading for her 250 find as todays task, will we make it only time will tell TFTC TNLN SL

The Co-ords were about 16 metres out here

We all had a look for this cache and Geoson came up with the hide.TFTC

Found it, 23m out.

3743rd total find at around 11:58

A nice, quick, drive by cache on our way from Albury to an event in South Australia.
We didn't stop in the area, but continued on our way.

Thanks Mr.David. for the cache

A quick find with e.gregory1. TFTC

A quick find. Thanks Mr.David for the cache

Easy find but coordinates abit off. Thanks for the cache

We were alone at the rest stop so it was easy to have a quick look around. The coordinates, I think, are about 18m out....I ignored them and looked for the obvious places for a cache....took about 2 minutes
I think the town gardener would come across this one too easily too?

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Her Majesty at 12:35pm. This was a cache found after attending the OZ Mega Event in Albury. The cache was found after a few minutes search. We found the co-ords to be out and S35 39.664 E145 48.852 worked best for us. TFTC

FOUND CO-ORDS A FAIR WAY OFF BUT AFTER A BIT OF HUNTING FOUND CACHE. TFTC

Second DNF of the trip. After reading the previous logs, it could just be that we were looking at the wrong location.

Not quite accurate but easy enough to find! Mini geocaches found it:-) made a visit to the hospital much more fun for the kids!!! TFTF

Nice easy hide. TFTC

#135 was this going to be a good day or not 6/25 for the day with 4DNF's so a reasonable day was had with 600 or so K's covered.

Approached GZ and started a search the coordinates had me in the middle of some trees with rocks at the base so began the search around one tree then remembering that this was another Mr.David cache i must read the logs and low and behold skullracing has been here and provide new coordinates put them in and had the cache in hand in a matter of minutes with the log signed at 1322 and cache replaced back as found i was on to the next one.

Thanks Mr.David for a great spot.

Thanks to skullracing again for his excellent coordinates the cache was found in next to no time.

#2185 Continued our trip around the area & Berrigan was pretty busy this morning but luckily the rest stop was deserted when we arrived. Again the co-ords had us a little off so we took another set which may assist future finders. Our thanks to Mr.David for the hide.

Found and logged at 11:35, Heading home after spending a few days caching along the Murray
A nice hide and a quick pick up
Thanks Mr.David

Lovely rest area co-ords out a fair bit thanks Mr.David

Tftc found after a bit of searching good hiding spot

This one took a bit of finding. I had a reading of 22m from GZ. Oh well, a find is a find. Thanks.

Me and my two boys headed up to Cobram to see Great Nanna (or grape nanna as my two year old calls her) as well as catch up with Marshy (AKA Blacklegend).
Today we grabbed a few caches in Tocumwal before meeting up with Marshy and a few of his kids before heading over to Wagga for a day of caching and fun.
A nice driveby cache which we found after a short look. Signed the log and managed to slice my finger open on the rock when replacing the cache in its hding spot. Better crack open the bandaids.
Thanks for the cache.

micheena - Found after a bit of searching. Clue sort of helped. Clever hiding hole. SLTTB

TFTC Mr David. A find to geoson during a quick stop

I think the co-ordinates are out on this one. Had a look round where I thought it *should* be, but turned up nothing.

Good one

Took a little while but we found it. Co ords seemed a little out. TFTC

Found it, good hide.
TFTC.

Eventually found it,
due to the GPS stuffing up,
& Mr.David came to help us,

Was a bit difficult to find.

Found this cache with Katie.Catherine,
Was starting to get a bit dark when we walked from "The Silo's" To here, so we had to start using a torch, once again though we thought the coordinate's were wrong, then the owner of the cache "Mr.David." Came to RESCUE! and gave us an helping hand.

Took a key ring
TFTC Honey.

Nice hide, quick find TFTC

Nice easy find. TFTC

Found this morning on a quick trip over and around Berrigan/Finley area for a few caches I hadnt yet got.Nice area around the rest spot,drove up pretty close to Gz and parked up behind where the arrow was pointed.Both my Iphone and GPS had me pointed in the middle of the road.In the end I found this cache and my IPhone and GPS had 28 meters to go.Spent far to long looking for this little fellow.

Published

Published

Oops

*FTF* gone from when originally published. Full log to follow.

Ok, so here is the full log... This was the 3rd of 3 FTF's for the day, and a bit of an unorthodox way of finding this one. When the publication came out, i was able to dump the GPX file to Geosphere, as I always do. This was the second of three alerts to hit my phone.

With the coords grabbed into Geosphere for all three new Berrigan caches, i headed off, and did my usual FTF stuff. This ended up being the last one i went to, there was a strategy going on here. At GZ, found the coords a bit out, and putting me near to the road, but at a likely spot based on the published name of the cache.

Hmmm, maybe Geosphere generated an error in the coordinates. So, went to check the cache page... It wont load. Hmmmm, what else to do. So, having completed a cache in Melbourne which relied on the projection of circles, i had the brain wave to project a circle from my home coords (where the new cache notification is generated from) based on the original distance published in the notification, to see where that would put me...

Obviously it was going to be a line that curved through the town, but, the line did confirm that the approximate location was correct. A projection like this would only give +/- 50m accuracy. So the coords were probably close. Time for an extended hunt, a FTF was on the line.

After some 25 minutes, with me and Jasmine, James and Jemma hunting, little Mr James and I spotted something, which turned out to be the cache, in a likely spot. This was one of the most rewarding FTF's i have done, i have to say, just due to the way it panned out.

Turned out the cache had been up for a short time, then again disabled by the publisher, which was why it would not appear a short time later. Coords, found this one about 20 to 22 out. I should have taken a set of coords for you.

TFTC Mr David, had some fun here.
