Dead centre of town Cooma, New South Wales, Australia

Unfortunately, I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore as advised previously, the cache is being de-listed (Archived) to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

The [**Geocache Maintenance guideline**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains what needs to happen with a Disable cache.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article [**here**](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

If you wish to contact me please send an email via my profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

---------

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

I notice from one or more log entries that this cache would seem to be in need of some help - **there appears to be a need for owner intervention.**

The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) I cannot see any log that indicates a recent visit by the CO to this cache.

If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) Therefore, the cache is being temporarily disabling so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) within 14 days, so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?**

You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:

- Repair and/or Replace your cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.

- If you don't plan on fixing it up then please [**Archive it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.

- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (within 14 days). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will unfortunately have to de-list (Archive) the cache on the basis that it has been abandoned.

Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

Looking at night in light drizzle was perhaps not the optimum conditions. But we did go looking at the headstones - a most interesting and mixed history!

Quick find. Log is damp as lid was off. Could not find information about graves. Thanks for the cache.

Log book and cache contents are damp and may need replacing. Could not locate information about graves as detailed in description. Thanks

Tftc

When I saw the title for this cache, I knew what sort of area it would be in. Found this one after a short search. A funeral was being held when I arrived, but luckily it wasn't very close to GZ, so was able to search without being drawing attention to myself. TFTC.

Found with bedlem2

On our way home from Jindabyne to sydney

“It’s in there!” Said the maintenance man. “Thanks” said us. So much for stealth. Interesting to see all the nationalities represented on the graves. Thanks to the Snowy Mountains Scheme. Kutgw

I was on my way to Melbourne via the Monaro and was driving passed not too far from this one. As the title implies, everyone is just dying to go there...
That certainly is a very long, detailed and descriptive hint!
It is always interesting visiting old cemeteries such as this and wandering around. But enough of that, as I had a journey to continue down south. The log was wet which always makes it very difficult to sign. TFTH

After a race in Jindy, I stopped in Cooma for a snack and a cache. Quick find. TFTC

My First for the morning. The cache is wet with the log book soaked. Normally I would put a temp log in but I didn't have one with me. TFTC.

Interesting place for a cache. I wonder what stories the people here could tell. The log is still very damp but we got a squiggle on there.

Runner5ive used to live in Cooma so we decided to do a day trip from Canberra to cache and share some old memories in and around the area.

Trip to Cooma with aramil. Walked through here a few times when I lived in Cooma. Loved looking at the old graves and reading the inscriptions. TFTC

This was a good place to visit on a significant birthday and made me very happy to just be alive! Very wet log but found okay. TFTC

I'm off to Cooma today. I've dropped my lady at work, and now, after a bit of cleaning up and washing clothes, I'm showered, my GeoSchnauzers and her GeoCavoodles are loaded, together with water, and we are off and running. We've pulled into Cooma with probably not too much caching time, and, after consulting logs, decided to go with this one as our second. I'm skipping the ones that are probably missing. For this one, I left the GeoDogs in the car, and went to GZ myself. This one took almost no time. It was well inside the foliage, but uncovered. I reckon the wind has blown much of the leaf litter away. After signing, I covered the cache with leaf litter, and put a small rock on to try and keep it covered. Thanks for the cache.

Drive to Cooma from canberra for day... see friend then shopping buy xmas items.... hide well...
Thanks

Good

This is our fourth trip to the northern island this year. The first three were primarily for family events but with some opportunities to do some caching along the way. The fourth trip is different as caching is our focus. After getting off The Spirit of Tasmania we are heading north to cache at Wangaratta and then Yass before heading into the ACT and Queanbeyan for a week. After that we will travel to Jindabyne for a few days with summiting Mount Kosciuszko being our main target for this part of our trip. Then we will visit Cooma and Tumut before heading back down the track through Wangaratta and Mansfield as we make our way to Alexandra for the MEGA. After the weekend we will continue to make our way south and back onto the Spirit of Tasmania for the “drive” across Bass Strait. We are really looking forward to three weeks of intense caching in great areas and, hopefully, catching up with some geocachers in each of the areas we will visit.

Today we left Queanbeyan and headed south caching along the way. Rather than initially going down the Monaro Highway, we detoured through Burra before rejoining the Monaro Highway at Michelago. From there we went down the highway to Cooma, cached for a little while there, before heading to Jindabyne where will stay for three nights. This will be our base for caching in the area, including an attempt to get to achieve one of the goals for a trip, to get to the top of Mount Kosciusko. We are just hoping for reasonable weather with the weather forecast suggesting a little rain.

When we arrived at this location there was actually a contractor mowing right next to GZ. Thankfully the cache had been placed well away form the edge of the bush. Once he had moved to another area, we went to look for the cache. We had to get inside the bush to search but once there, we were able to make a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks aussie_walkabout for the cache.

***** We are currently writing detailed logs because of a challenge provided by Project-GC. "The Author" Badge challenges geocachers to average one hundred words or more in each log. On 1 September 2017 our average was 86 which seems close to the 100 target. However given that we have found so many GC caches, we have to write many logs with well over 100 words for a long period of time to get our average to the target. Apologies to anyone who finds the logs tedious but it is the only way that we can strive to attain this challenge. After 383 caches (which includes all cache finds up and including yesterday), the average log length is just over 95.8. We are now entertaining the possibility that we might be able to achieve our gaol before this trip ends. Progress has been better than anticipated.*****

I had that moment where I was giving up, but saw it out of the corner of my eye. love those kinda finds. TFTC

Quick trip to Cooma today. Found without too much trouble. Thanks.

Found in the snow very excited with DSD

Nice break on our drive home from the coast

Found on a trip from Canberra to the coast. Nice break in the journey.

Found it. As we were heading back home from the long weekend I thought we should stop to get at least one cache on the way home and this was the one. Quick easy find. TFTC

Interesting dead centre of town, easy find. TFTC

That looks out of place. Easy find. TFTC

Came to look at the Snowy Hydro Display with some friends, but display had just closed. Had just showed them a geocache, so took them here to find another. TFTC. A bit different. Almost like a reverse multi. Thanks for highlighting these.

Still on leave for another few days, so we decided to take a run to Cooma and pick up a few caches along the way. This is the last find in Cooma for the day.

We love cemeteries and this one was no exception. After a very quick retrieve, we wandered around, not looking for the ones mentioned in the description (but found one just by wandering) and noticed a lot of graves with similar construction in one area and in a specific time period. I assume these are the graves of some of the men killed during the construction of the Snowy Mountains Hydro scheme - all appear to be so far from their homelands. Also a lot of infant graves clustered together. It's a very sad but beautiful place. TFTC, aussie_walkabout.

Found with The Matetrix. Coppers cruising the perimeter in their 4WD. Don't think we look too suspicious. TNLNSL TFTC

Found with IamCoust

Visiting Cooma from Canberra this afternoon while my friend went to watch her granddaughter's dance concert, I was able to do a hunt for some geocaches. This was the first one I tried and BINGO!. I found the cache uncovered and visible if anyone should peer in, so rehid with leaf litter and a couple of small stones. Either birds, animals, or even the wind may have exposed it. All safe now and thanks Aussie Walkabout for hiding this one in a peaceful area that we always enjoy visiting in various places. Cheers!

Lovely bit of history. Our first find!

TFTCinteresting exercise

Easy

Nice hint at the spot

Found with GrimRaider on a drive through Namadgi, down to Adaminaby and on to Cooma. We decided to stop and grab a cache in Cooma and thought a nice cemetery cache would be fun. Cache found in good condition. TFTC

Nice hiding spot! TFTC

tftc

Found last year some time on a second attempt. Sorry we can't remember the date.

Yep easy find

Easy find

We had to head down to Cann River to drop off a friend who had been caring for our German Shepherd for 3 weeks after his back surgery. So we took took advantage of the drive and collected some caches along the way and back again.

Lovely drive down to this area, the weather was lovely, although we did strike some fog in Nimatabel which felt a bit odd. But the sun continued to shine all day for us.

Were we can we like to stop for the cemetry caches, although we didn't have enough time to stop to view the residents details. We drove up to the hide and found relatively quickly.

TFTC aussie walkabout

Took us a bit longer then expected hahah! Thanks for the hide!

Good little spot!

Spooky

Tftf

Down here for the day for work at the Cooma hospital (such history in that place too much like Cooma and surrounds).

With the work colleague understanding geocaching luckily had the opportunity to grab a couple of quick caches before heading north home after a very windy Cool autumn day. Tftc tnln

Found. Tftc

Heading towards Bega, we have made an overnight stop at Bemboka grounds.
Amongst todays caches we thought we would reach our 17,000 find.
A great day of driving with a wonderful chane of scenery.
Thanks for placing this cache aussie_walkabout

On our way to Mount kosciuszko and stopping to find some caches along the way . This was our last find for the day . thanks for the cache aussie walkabout tnln sl

Quick easy find. In Cooma for two days and a few hours caching. SL TFTC Interesting head stones

#1669 4 of 16 today.

I was planning to head out to the coast this Australia Day, but the weather forecast was not promising. So this morning I thought about likely destinations and considered Cooma. I've always liked Cooma and it's Art Deco buildings. I took a few pics and generally had a good time collecting the local caches. An afternoon thunderstorm called a halt to the search.

Technically, a Terrain 1 is wheelchair accessible. Maybe a wheelchair with a chainsaw attachment would work. Enjoyed looking about the cemetery.

Thanks for the cache aussie_walkabout.

Thanks.

Great little find. Had to wait for a couple of walkers to go past and then made a quick grab and logged it in safety in the hiding spot. TFTC.

Driving back from looking at my aunties block of land and stopped at the cemetery to look for the geocache. Found it after a bit of looking. Lots of fun. Thanks geocaching!

Parked outside with lots of other cars (school) and walked in. Found quickly in the obvious spot. Pity I didnt have time to look around, but looks very well maintained.

Thanks

I have loved this cemetery for years TFTC

A

Tftc nice easy one for master10

Nice cool spring walk but forgot a pen so couldn't sign! Oh well.
Tftc

I love cementary caches. At least you don't need to die to get in here this way. Tftc

Thanks tool the little one was fun

Found at 3:06:00 PM

A quick find on the way out of town on a detour. It was quiet at the cemetary today.

Thanks aussie_walkabout.

found it nicely maintained dead center of town

Found it tftg not far from our house !!

Found on our 2015 Merimbula trip. After failing to find the cache at Bredbo, it was nice to find this one in Cooma. Before having a nice lunch in town, we drove out of town towards this cemetery, where after driving onto the small road, the cache was quickly found. Peaceful location. TNLNSL. TFTC aussie_walkabout!

The weekend was here! And what better way to spend it than to escape Canberra and head off for a coastal geomission?!

Swung by this one on the way. There were a few muggles wandering around the headstones at the opposite end of the cemetery, but I used the tree for cover to come up with the hide unseen

Thanks for the hide, aussie_walkabout

Nice little easy hide,

Cheers

Tftc reminds me I need to add to my will that my headstone have a cache on it :p

Relatively easy find with JetFuselage. My sinuses unhappy from moving grass in the wrong spot as we entered through main instead of side gate. TFTC

Found yesterday with my Mum (Boeing737), TFTC

Found on our way home from the Mega in Qld, This cache was quickly located and we made sure it was hidden well. Travelling with misschief18, taurus 1955 and Bentley the geodog TB

Gah the spider webs...

My first actual geocache adventure... was fun and i learnt some stuff too... good way to explore a new town!

This one took a bit. I had ideas it was hidden differently. TaurusSix watched on.

Quick find on our way out of town. cache all good.

We found a few caches in Cooma today. Nice town that we had not spent any time in before. TFTC

Easy find

Easy find!

Nice and quiet. Watch out for the sprinklers!

I enjoyed the peace and quiet trying to find this cache and also the lack of muggles.

So, I was feeling a little restless today and decided a solo caching mini mission was in order. I decided to take the GeoCommo for its final caching mission hurrah as its being traded in on Thursday for a replacement Geomobile. Cooma was the target for today, and some caches along the journey.

The Cooma mini mission continued and this was the next target. Parked up nearby and wandered towards GZ. I had to be extra stealthy as the lawnmower man was there so I waited till his back was facing me, ducked in and did logging duties. When he had done a full circuit and his back was facing me again and I jumped out and wandered back towards the car.

Thanks for the cache placement aussie walkabout

Stopped here under shady trees while the geogranny made lunch in the van I searched and made an easy find, it was not there last time! Had no trouble reaching it and logging, why did two previous cachers not do this? No spiders either.

Great cache couldnt gain access into the bush but could clearly see it undernrocks

Great cache could see it under rocks but didn't want to push into the bush

Crazeecat and I have a new geomobile, so we decided to head down the Monaro Highway from Canberra to Cooma, caching as we went.

We have been down this way many times, but have not stopped - mainly because we wanted to get to where we were going.

It is always fun to cache in a cemetery, but unfortunately, this had to be our last cache of the day, as I had to get home to play hockey. So, no time to explore the coords suggested by the Cache Owner.

Thanks aussie_walkabout for the cache.

Another great hide in cooma. Very interesting people to visit here. TFTC.
