Don't Bulldoze Me! Beaumont Hills, New South Wales, Australia
By AussieCacher on 04-Jan-13. Waypoint GC43TN9

Time to close this cache down

Good Day,

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Coming up to the third birthday of the last find, with no one admitting to trying for it for the last 12 months.
No response to the Needs Maintenance log. time to go unfortunately.

Decided to head back up Windsor Road to Rouse Hill (or as per the first's cache listing, North Kellyville... Well I live close to Ryde (Ordinary, Top, West, North & East so who am I to query it?)
Was hoping to pick up two but my second target was dubious due to DNFs and no recent finds, but hope springs.

Did only get the new one, but the fun will be tomorrow when I want a few and have no time to get them!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Well, this hasn't been found since January last year.
Decided to try for it as I drove past and saw easy access to GZ. Parked around the corner in Bridgewood Drive and expected to have to walk back around, but a missing fence panel gave me more direct access.

In view of the time since the last find, I checked the listing, previous logs, etc as I walked in.
Although the GPS fluctuated under the trees one area seemed the likely hide, and corresponded to a found log. So started there.
A few cacher trails near GZ suggested this was the popular area to search and that maybe some are unsuccessfully looking without logging.

Turned over a lot of leaf litter, and poked into many spots but nothing found. Expanded to a few other likely areas nearby but no joy.
I'm prepared to call this one missing. Unfortunately the CO is usually OS and the designated maintenance may not be reliable these days, so not sure what the result will be.

Made my way back out and off home.
Agree with a few the hint is not useful anymore.

See the DNF log. No finds since January last year, and a series of DNFs since. This needs checking.

Out with JJCC on a cache run from Penrith to Galston finding a total of twelve caches plus 3 DNFs.

After finding the nearby The Bellbirdisnowhere! cache, we continued our bush bash over to this cache. Unfortunately this was our third DNF for us today. After checking the most obvious spots at GZ we widened our search area but still couldn't find anything. We fear this cache may have gone.

Passing through eight TBs for the mileage - Bob geoMinion, Dave geoMinion, Evil geoMinion, Jerry geoMinion, Larry geoMinion, Stuart geoMinion, Vanlith The Youngling.

Out with Team Merlin on a cache run from Penrith to Galston.

Parking quite close to GZ. We searched the area but were unable to locate this cache today.
We will return. Finding a total of twelve caches plus 3 DNFs. This was third DNF of three.

Can this be checked and a better hint as there is heaps of dead stuff lying around

Extra hint please

After poking at this shrub and tree eventually found it. Nice camo. TFTC.

came up empty this time around on two search time, one on the way in and the second after moving over to 'the bellbirdisnowhere' finding that one and coming back for another look here before giving up

Fortunately I didn't get bulldozed, TFTC!

Log follows in open

Quick find. Cache all good.Tftc

Found at 7m. Tftc, one side clip is split, but seems to still b clickin. Tfth

8/6/15. 3:49 PM. Cache #2569. Streak day #351 (new P.B!!!)
4th of 9 finds today. I wasn't having much luck with all the micros around here, so I found "Honey Pot Triangle (HPT)" and then came unstuck again at its nearest micro ("Macquarie Rd"). So, headed over here for a bigger cache.

Parked on Withers Rd and bashed my way to GZ in more or less a straight line. Once here it was an easy find, just to lift the confidence. Signed and replaced, then bashed my way back to the car. I decided to see if my luck would turn with micros now, so headed into Rouse Hill for "Triple 1 Lockout at Purser". TFTC.
} : )

Out in the Hills District from some Good Friday caching on a drizzly grey day - perfect for geocaching! Took the long way into GZ after checking out what the other side was bulldozed for. Not a great trade but must say that this bit of bush is not looking all that healthy. Got to GZ and the container was sitting in plain view. We replaced is where the hint indicates it ought to be. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

Did this at night time but found it. So good.

Clear a way with a stick to avoid bulk spider webs. Felt very rewarding finding this one.

Good Wood......TFTH

Found with Snickersallan, on our way to the local event today, great day for caching

Out in the Hills District with Bluewattle for the yearly Meet and grabbing a few quick finds, great day and TFTC.

I managed to scrape my way through the bush to gz. While the area certainly could do with a cleaning, bulldozers are justa bit overkill.
Found the cache snug and sound in its hiding spot.
Thanks for the cache.

A quick lunchtime find. Cache was out in the open. SL and rehid in the obvious spot. TFTC!

Just as well they left a hole in the fence to let me in

Good find!

another good hide and camo!

Ten million dead wooden things covering entire grounds. Started pouring rain so will have to come back.

I just saw the sun reflecting off the water on top of the lid. Gotta love the rain. TFTC.

I reckon the hippy is a bit late to chain himself to a bulldozer around here. There ain't much left and I wouldn't say there is all the much heritage either.

Quick find tftc tnln

Very disappointed to have to read a religious quote in previous finds. Grrrrrrr

TFTC. Container was completely exposed. I neatly replaced it where I think CO intended it to be.

Fond easily after a little walk through the bush.

I was in this patch of remnant bushland a couple of months ago picking up “The Bellbirdisnowhere!” but overlooked this one that day. I was in the area again today and thought I should put things right.

I parked in Mungerie Road, engaged in a little gentle bush bashing and soon had CIH.

Thanks AussieCacher.

Had wanted to find this cache for some time as I drive past this location frequently, but had simply never had an opportunity until now. I parked in Bridgewater Drive and wander back around to Withers Road then into the bush for the last leg to GZ. Fairly easy find, nice little bushland area, really hope they leave some of it intact rather than bulldoze it. SL TFTC AussieCacher!

dnf

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Another quick and easy find

Had Ute Dog II with me and whilst walking towards GZ she had a fit. Poor little thing! Awonderful lady pulled up and asked if she could help, no thankyou she just has to restand wake up. She is on drugs and sometimes still has one. so we slowly walked on and got the cache and she was ok!
Thanks Acko

Found it with Everlasting and JackJay in Bush. TFTC

With dolphia - good fun - wander in the bushland, signed the log. Thanks AussieCacher.

TFTH

Easy find TFTC

We came across a lot of 'dead wood' on the ground so the hint didn't really help, but had the cache in hand after a few minutes.

TFTC, NazzoR

Day 26 of 31 Days of Geocaching. Footyfanatics and I carried on after completing bellbirds cache. Bulldozer cache located after a lot of bush bashing ourselves. No clear path presented itself however tried to reduce footprints. Cache is dry and in good condition. Lots of development going on in this area. Real shame to see this lovely area being encroached upon. TFTC.

Found it on a glorious Sunday while in the area with evangt. As there was no obvious track it took us longer to get to GZ than to find the cache. TFTC

My find for the day on way to team meeting at RHTC. Wasn't impressed with the bulldozing on the other side of the road. Does it make it right that they leave a 10m corridor of trees? I don't think so. Will this part survive? Hopefully although it's pretty scrubby. Found was made easier by a pen lying on the ground at GZ, I guess from the previous finder. TFTC.

A late afternoon stroll..... Found!

Out this way for my daughter's physie comp at Rouse Hill High. Made this easy find during the intermission. Scooted back to get snaps of the oldest daughter.
Tftc

Kids had fun trekking through the bush for this one.

Reperio at 0940.

Found this one on a great day of caching with Big Matt around Western Sydney, and although we didn't have this on our list today, we were driving right by it and making good time, so we couldn't resist. I always enjoy bush caches...especially on a day filled with so many urban caches.

Gratias AussieCacher.

Our 6831st overall find. Found on a day out caching with Marcus Vitruvius in Western Sydney

This one wasn't on the list of caches to find this trip but we took a wander in a made a nice quick find. The only way I can see areas like this not being cleared is for people to head further west and not buy more houses here, that just isn't going to happen....

Thanks AussieCacher for the cache.

After a DNF at The Pergola, I wanted to grab at least one find today and saw that this was close by. I drove into Bridgewood Dr but there is cyclone fencing all along the perimeter here so I went back out and parked on Withers Rd. An easy access and good coordinates soon had me at the cache. Thanks AussieCacher.

Great spot - hope it stays despite all the development around. Left homemade geocaching badge. TNSL / TFTC

#2 find with kids on our bike ride. Nice bush walk to GZ

Another one of these so simple it is hard caches today. Found by Hammerman. After I had already checked there!?!

TFTC.

Found in the company of Team Canary, nice easy find. TFTC.

Continued our walk and quickly found our way near GZ. About 29m away, gave phone to Team Zump to go make the find and she was very happy to find it herself. Signed log and replaced. On to the next one. Hope they dont bulldoze this area. TFTC.

After some bush bashing GeoMum and GeoSon M found this.
A lovely bit of bush land here in the middle of an ever growing suburbia.
TFTC

1215, GAFF1, After a short bush bash to GZ we soon located the hide.

SL, cache in good condition.

TFTC AussieCacher

I must say this isn't the most appealing bushland being rather degraded with weeds and a lot of wattles that look like they've reached the ends of their lives (they don't live long) so it could benefit from a burn-off. Of course all bushland isn't beautiful but it's often better than the alternative!

Pushed on through the scrub and made a quick find. Signed and replaced.
Thanks!
(134 days in a row...)

Lots of dead wood lying on ground around here. Nice spot in the middle of suburbia . TFTC

I could hear the 'dozers across the road as I walked to GZ, will this spot go the same way? Thanks AC.

Good spot for this cache! I live close by and hope they don't bulldoze this!! I'm lucky I have bush across the street from me that I know will never be developed!!

Tftc

I hope they don't bulldoze this area either, we need some urban bush. My geodogs had a ball running around, I think Oreo was hunting rabbit. SL #750 on streak day #234 TFTC took TB

Kewl spot
Dropped off trackable hamster item

Spent the weekend grabbing some bush caches close to home . Like dkmacca over stepped the mark and had to back track . TFTC

Streak day 81 #966

Wasn't really prepared for this cache wearing thongs, anyway found my way to GZ and had over stepped GZ by a few metres before returning back and seeing the likely spot for a cache. Thanks Aussie.
Cheers
dkmacca

Parked on Withers Rd and was a short walk to GZ following the cacher trail.
Hmmm, looking for dead timber lying down, this one, no, that one, no, Arr there is too many. Then I see it behind me. SL TFTC

Found with geosons. TFTC. CobTod

Thanks for the stroll and the cache AC,

Cheers

out & about on the bike today to pick this one up

Bit of a bush bash....made a nice quick find...T4TC

Nice stroll in the bush TFTC

Was out and about with HappyPaintBall.

Parked out on Withers Rd and made our way in. Many places to hide one of these, but came up trumps fairly soon.

Thanks Aussie.

Stopped on the side of Withers road as the side st. was closed due to road works.
Went in found a nice hide.
SL and Rntd safe.
Steveishere

Another good section of bush land.
TFTC

Lets hope they leave at least some land for recreation, the other side of the road has been devastated!!

Made my way to GZ from the housing side, this may been a little longer but the end result was all good.

Located the cache, signed the log and replaced.

Tks ... AussieCacher ... GazMag

#1,630

This took a little to find in the fading light, but I finally spotted this sneaky hide. Glad we came here in the evening though as in the heat of the day this area is ripe for 'joe Blake's given all the dead wood around!!!
I hope this area is regenerated as currently it is a real mess.
SL TFTC

PS - was a bit confused by the terrain rating (more like a 1.5 or 2 max)

sevabo and I were through the burntout bush and scattered logs on the ground anyway we arrived the right GZ and sevabo found it before me. TFTH

One last cache before I try my luck at a milesotne with a tough cache down the road. I parked. Walked through the bush and found GZ. Walked around for a little bit, before I saw the cache. The realised I'd left my pen in the car. DOH! I found some burnt sticks and used that to sign the log. I'm sure the CO believes I was there. Let's hope they don't buldoze this place down, as the way things are going....it may well happen. TFTC.

accompanied with skyejam and found it easily Thanks AC for the hunting...

Found this one after the event, 2nd to find, be careful of snakes in the hot weather. TFTC Aussiecacher

Found as part of the Fifth Annual Hills Event. We parked on the road side and made our way in. Took a little bit to find as was well covered. Lets hope they dont Bulldoze. We opened the log to confirm we where **FTF**. We signed the log and re hide. TFTC

Thanks for the scramble through the bush
