As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. 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/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

I will check on this and replace in the next week when I am back from interstate.

Checking this one soon.

Out on a caching mission with ZQX. As we were passing this we attempted to find, but only found a pencil. Almost no ivy left, so am guessing the cache has gone too.
 
03-Mar-15
Oh so sad. Hoped to get this one and another nearby between appointments today but no such luck. Think this one has gone.
 
03-Mar-15
Think this one has gone. No ivy but remains of a pencil, a small eraser and another object that looks as if it may have been in the cache.

Afternoon walk with Geokids and geomutt. Nice little find. #1 for 2015 Smile
 
07-Jan-15
I am so far on logging all of my caches that I have to run a macro to catch up. I do apologies but thank you very much for your efforts to put out caches.
May the Caches be with you bolshie1!
Cheers,
Grim Raider!

Found with ProbablyBex and the geohounds after picking PB up from a Belco shopping trip. We had a lovely explore along the creek, the dogs had a swim and chased a lizard. Nice hide - TNLN - thanks for the cache Smile
 
03-Jan-15
This poor cache needs some TLC. Found it but it was just an empty container. Left a log sheet in a zip lock bag and a couple of toys. Nice spot. TFTC.

Think someone may have moved it because after visiting ur second one ur first one was open and easily visible Razz
 
25-Oct-14
Well hidden!

A nice easy stroll from the parking spot. A few people out enjoying the evening, but had a quiet period at GZ to make the find and sign the log.

TNLN - Thanks bolshie1!

Woot! Neat spot Smile needs a new zip lock bag for the notepad... I'll try to remember one on my next walk
 
27-Apr-14
Came for a bike ride through the area today and picked up a few. Mick and Nick's first was my first for the afternoon. Some muggle avoidance was required but there were enough time gaps between them to allow search, retrieval and return in separate goes.
Agree this is a great spot for junior caching too.
Thanks for the cache Mick and Nick.
Cheers

The two biggest Jr Cachehunters found this one all by themselves while I was cooking up some snags on the nearby BBQs.

We hadn't been to this park before: we all enjoyed the path on our scooters and the playgrounds.

A nice hide, thanks!
 
19-Apr-14
That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Bit damp today but an easy find. Thanks!!
 
15-Mar-14
#1588 - 18:55; I was parked nearby to gather information for a mega multi that I've been working on for quite some time and decided to make the grab on this one while I was in the area. Made my way along the path to GZ, where the iPhone said one thing and the geosenses another. The geosenses won out and a quick find was made. Once log signing duties were completed, the cache was tucked back snugly into its hidey hole. TFTC bolshie1 Smile

Boom.
 
27-Feb-14
Found this on 28 January (just catching up on some overdue logging of cache finds Smile
I decided it was well and truly time to take a slight detour cycling home from work and see if I could find at least some of the caches in the Scullin/Page area ... found 2, then I didn't find the next 1 (muggle kid was too curious 4 me to look), or another a bit closer to home, so I took another detour even closer to home to come and look for this one, which I have also been meaning to go past and find ... yay - found it ... (I hate it when I go looking for caches and don't finish with a find - lol)
Took 3 marbles and a glow in the dark bat, left a short thin ruler/bookmark, a crab, a puppy, a train, and 2 birds.
TFTC ... Nice little hidey spot in a nice big park - lol
(The "camo" seems to be "arranging" itself nicely too Smile

Nice big cache, perfect for the tin-lids, 20 minutes of play afterwards. Great cache, thanks.
 
15-Sep-13
Hey! Highlight of our Geocacher Day. Great size. Great hide. Great swaps! Thanks a lot.
 
14-Sep-13
Found @ 4:35pm, the 4th of 12 found after a successful round of golf

I like seeing good sized containers in places like this, well done! I left "The Red train engine" TB to continue on its journey.

Thanks bolshie1!!

Yet again I encounter a cache with muggles around it - I suspect the really nice day was to blame. Had to go and get other caches and when I came back there were other muggles. As I approached I noticed that they were packing up to leave so I walked slower and they were gone by the time was was at the cache.
 
04-Aug-13
Found at 1745. I was in the area on other business (still cache-related though) and decided to pick up a couple of local finds while the opportunity was there - mostly to fill today's slot in the August cache-a-day challenge, but also just because I could. I had to walk past this one to get to my main objective, so once my business was concluded I wandered back to GZ and had the cache quickly spotted thanks to bang-on coordinates and a flash of colour.

Somehow while retrieving the container I snagged my thumb on some sort of protrusion & tore a small chunk out of the tip, which meant signing the log while trying to stop the slow trickle of claret from making a mark of its own. Dropped off a maze pathtag then tucked everything away again, adding additional camo to help with the hide.

A nice easy cache, and perfect for a first - whether it be a first hide or first find. Thanks for the cache bolshie1 - and Mick & Nick!
 
Cache #18 for today.

Having scrapped my plans for a trip down south I decided to do a day of 'Next Closest Cache' and I let the adventure begin having no clue where I would end up going.

This one was a nice easy one just off the path. I even used the rock as a place to sit and let my legs get a rest for abit before the incoming darkness meant I had to move along

393. The weather was good, it was a day off work and I felt like some exercise so all the boxes were ticked for a day of caching on the bike. I recently found another game I could play while out geocaching, so today was a trial of that...
Quick and easy find - spotted it even before I stopped riding!
Tried to cover it over just that little bit better.

TFTC bolshie1 Very Happy

Another one crossed off my 'to catch littleredshoes' list... almost there!
Just as I was sitting to sign a log, a 2-dog walking muggle came past and commented out of the blue that a red bike was in the water under the bridge nearby - wondered for a moment if it was some sort of Spooks code... Smile

One of eleven caches found this afternoon. A beautiful white Samoyed dog came and said hello, then lifted his leg on the cache; although we didn't know this was where the cache was until after the dog and owner left. TFC.
 
07-Jun-13
A dog pissed on the cache just before we were able to get it. We handled it carefully. I also trod in dog poo. It's a doggy place. Tread carefully. TFTC.
 
19-Apr-13
Great little spot. Had checked the clue so the geolad found it quickly. Left our 2 cents worth. Thanks Mick & Nick !

This is my 390'th. 400 not far away. Left a nice trackable in this nice park where my Kids and I came often when they were younger.

This is the second I did of bolshie1's when I wanted a break from the house. Badja Jnr came too with dog in tow.

Thanks bolshie1. I hope your little ones enjoy some toys and the trackables I left in your two first placed caches.

I am determined to do more like this, closer to home this year.

As a visitor to the National Capital I had walked along the nearby track a number of times before actually putting geocaching on my TO DO list. What a surprise to find such an easy cache, but a good one nonetheless. TFTC TNLN Big Grin

Was cub's first outing and found this first! Thankyou

This playground does not look like it gets much use as it is looking a little tired and neglected. Once close to GZ we made a quick find of the cache - great paintwork to help it blend into the surrounds! TNLNSL TFTC

A great place to walk with the geopup and a few caches along the way. This was #10 for the day in my attempt to reach 1000 finds. No muggles around so it made the find easy.

Took TB

Thanks bolshie1 for the cache.

Reperio at 1945.

Spent a couple of days caching around Canberra, and being this hour of the day, as well as being quite chilly, there was absolutely no one in sight. Didn't take long to find the cache...and it was good to see a nice sized container too!

Gratias bolshie1.
