Hi Muff Mafia,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm 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 45 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 listing and post a new note every 45 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Another DNF on this series for us today - looks like this cache hasn't legitimately been found since November 2017 so some great unloved points on offer if it is indeed still there. No luck for us unfortunately.

No sign of cache

Nope. I think this may have gone AWOL. Can the cache owner please confirm?

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Found sign!

had my second look but did not find. i don't think the cache is at gz or is missing.

TFTC. No wasps. Ha ha. Couldnt find cache.

Could not find cache anywhere, have a feeling it might not be there :/ unless it's not at gz

Found it but we cant get it bec there are wasp nest make them angry ... with Rothy6 TFTC

Its still there the problem for us we couldnt get it as 4 wasps wont let us sign TFTC

Found it - not far to Allora now. TFTC

I was enjoying a scenic drive around the Southern Downs,
almost as much as a fresh dollop of cream on a strawberry

No signs of the the olde manufacturing plant,
except for the sign [:o)]

TFTC.

Short walk to gz & made a quick find. Nothing left to see of the creamery. Tftc Muff Mafia xo

Decided went to country for a drive the car. The sunny keep me warm

Plenty to see the animals, narrow road with beautiful scene so enjoyed myself... [^]

Thanks Muff Mafia for organising the cache and hunt

A day off work and the weather forecast agreed with me that it was a great day to head down to have a look up Mount Mitchell. Afterwards, I took a "detour" to grab a few caches, including this one. A quick find and sign. Thanks for the cache, Muff Mafia.

Was a little disappointed there was none of the Creamery left to look at. ( I live on a dairy farm) It would have been interesting. Beautiful area to drive in.
Easy find. TFTC

Found on a road trip with Dannza and forgot to log. TFTC

Tftc. Great cache run.

Woot

Found it. Log is full

Good find today while driving through the area.
SL TFTC

Log was full!

Found Ok

Found by Pete log is full needs a new one

TFTC! We love the way this hobby takes us to places we would never had explored and would once have driven straight by......

TFTC 1864# out and about with daughter and geo dogs miss millie and George

I was wishing we could get some of that Creamery but alas just a memory. We have been away for ten days and Mr RV geo had an appointment in Toowoomba. We had been to Goomari Pumpkin festival and had a business appointment in Cooroy, so in someways this unexpected appointment was a blessing as it took us across the ridge and we avoided all the horrible weather that so many people got caught up in. We hung out in Cliffton for two days till the rain and wind subsided so we were really ready for some exercise and something fun to do on our way home to the Gold Coast. We had little knowledge of what may find us there so we decided to take our time. We had done a couple of these before and really enjoyed the History lesson. This was a nice easy find and we really enjoyed the scenery. Thanks Muff Mafia for the Cache.

TFtc

Stopped off on our way - doing a few in the area .

Signed logsheet 26/04/2016 11:40 am and replaced all as found.

It was nice and quiet out here today. We think it would have been a tough life making a living here back in the 1890s. TFTC.

Tricky little bigger log is almost full tftc

All Good .. TFTC ..

We introduced our grandson to geocaching while holidaying with us. Enjoyed learning about the history of these places. Thanks for the cache Muff Mafia.

Found it. Out doing a few in this area with the geofamily. Thanks SDHS and Muff Mafia.
Is there more information available on these historic sites?

I saw a few cows today,, but not anywhere near this one.

Another nice quick and easy find.

Quick easy find, TFTC

A bit of confusion nearby with a council sign warning that the road was closed. They must have not been back since the heavy rain to remove it because all was good with the road today. Found the cache, signed and replaced it, and returned to the car. Now, where is my phone? I wondered if I had dropped it at a previous cache, but no, after returning to this one there it was on the ground. Phew! [^][^]

After attending the Mega in Stanthorpe, continued our caching journey with iluvtrekking to Warwick.
Had a great day out in both the town and outlying areas collected a few smileys along the way. Always a fan of a series and this one delighted us. Thanks Muff Mafia

Found with richliink on day six of our Mega 2015 Stanthorpe adventure.
We had a great day wandering up and down some country roads out of and back to Warwick. Thanks Muff Mafia for your cache.

Gotcha !!! Picking up a few on the way to the Mega. TFTC

Travelling around Australia in our Caravan with our cat.

Today was a bit disorganised we were to head out and make a delivery to help the Qld Mega Committee but then a Dr's appointment changed our plans with very little notice.

After the Dr's we decided to pick up a few caches around Warwick that we had run out of time to convert into smilies last week. Once those were accomplished it was off on the highway to Cunningham's Gap for our 'rendezvous'

TFTC Muff Mafia

Looking forward to meeting other geocachers at the Queensland Mega event

GC4X31B Queensland Geocaching ---- Event - Stanthorpe 2015 www.qldmega.com

Wasn't paying attention and slightly overshot this location. Amazing how well these locations are hidden, especially being a bit further from the road. This was one of those locations i wish i was a better prepared cacher (i.e. wearing long pants & closed in shoes). With no sticks close by i braved the grass and eventually made it over to GZ. Quick cache grab and sign and i braved heading back to the car. TFTC Muff Mafia, another interesting location.

On a weekend in Stanthorpe and Warwick with geo-friends to tackle the caches of the area. Thanks to all CO's for bringing us to this area to search for there different caches along the countryside roads as well as in the towns. TFTC

Our weekend has nearly come to a close but we have a couple of hours till we meet Team Robins for a chat so what do you do, you cache. TFTC

On a caching long weekend with a group of geofriends. Completed many of the series, trails and individual caches from north of Warwick to south of Stanthorpe.
Thank you to all C.O.'s for placing these caches around this beautiful region of Queensland.

Staying in the area for the Australia Day long weekend. After completing the power trails we then located some caches to tidy up our geomap. TFTC

Out for a weekend of caching with geo friends. TFTC

On a preMega cache hunt and Hitting the power trail and its begaining to fell like ground hog day, we came out for a couple of days to clear the local greens and to turn them into smiles all across the area. so much hard work has gone into the local trails and ill like to thanks all the COs for placing such a trail and maintaining them. log signed and placed back as found tftcsl

tftc..

I really enjoyed this series. Every stop we tried to imagine how things were and how things have changed. We felt like we had stepped back in time, until we jumped back into geomobile. Thanks for this cache and the series! This was a quick find!

A great trip out with Angloj for some geocachetherapy. TFTC

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there Muff Mafia. We found your cache "S.D.H.S. Creamery of 1894" at 11:44:00 AM today.
This was our 4th cache find in a caching run of 15 Finds & 0 DNFs today. (So this now makes our find count 9406.)
[Blue]
Today's cache run was in the company of Team Robins, Rainforest Cookie and Rat Dog 12.
We thoroughly enjoyed our zig-zag route through the countryside, visiting many interesting spots along the way.

Please excuse the boilerplate logs. It's really not an excuse but, we find it really difficult to craft individual logs when we do so many similar caches in a day.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent. (We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Nothing.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

5414 Caches Found
Found after attending the Christmas in July in Stanthorpe. Heading home in a roundabout way trying to pick up a few more caches. Great cache. TFTC

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing

Thanks for the great cache Muff Mafia(8D)

Today we left Toowoomba heading to Allora. We did caching along the railway series, back country roads & out around the many farms.
All the caches we found were in good condition & some wonderfull & scenic locations.

Thanks for placing this cache Muff Mafia

we in dairy country now and Paul's dairies at that. Ratdog and I used to live/work on a dairy that has succumbed to the degruglation and Coles/woolies price wars of more recent time. Its get bigger or get out.
Arrr we love the smell.

TFTC

found it with Rainforest Cookie, I navigate badly then we share the finds
TFTC

All set for a super long week-end in Toowoomba from Friday until Tuesday.
I am in town to find all of the new caches in the area since I left town year ago.
After a morning over at the Dam I am now continuing the day on the south side.
With the phone binging like crazy I thought I would head south in search on some FTF's.
After finding a few FTF's I had better find the others in the area hadn't I.
A quick find here.
Thanks for the cache.

Another quick find for us on our way home. It is a shame that the history of this place was never preserved. TFTC Muff Mafia

If the sign was not here you'd never know. We really do not preserve our history well, rather sad... On a happier note the cache was found and the log signed! Cheers Muff Mafia

Standing here in this quiet spot trying to imagine what this looked like...so wish there was more info/photos on these signs. My father grew up on a dairy farm on Inverammsay Rd in the Goomburra valley.

Out with the geofamily collecting a few smileys on Mothers Day. So after finding this one then dropping half and then having to search through the grass then finding it and replacing the cache we were here for a little bit! The flies were bad here too! Again great history. TFTC Muff Mafia

A quick find today on my way to Toowoomba. Great historical drive.
Thanks

Parked in the shade and walked the short distance back for this one. Ozdog (geohusband) was enthralled with the fantastic native grass species in this general area. Great insight into the history of this area. So changed now. SL TNLT TFTC Thanks for the series Muff Mafia

64 Km from home.
A day trip down to Morgan Park Warwick to watch my mates turn fossil fuel into noise and smiles at the QLD Super Sprint Series.
With Mrs R-F so ‘miffed’ about micros I was surprised she was out of the car and half way to the GZ without a GPS or any other aids by the time I got the engine turned off.

The co-ords were good, the hide, the log and the container are all in good nick.
Thanks for the caches Muff Mafia.

Another early start with nothing to do as I am down in this neck of the woods for a short while. I grew up on the downs and have family who were involved in Dairying and spent a lot of time in the 1960's and 1970's driving on these types of roads and in this sort of country. I got to see a lot of associated infrastructure to that industry. Progress is she not grand. Another NANO and a very quick find. Signed log YOF as this is what I use on small logs to save room as youngoldfella in my big hand takes up a lot of paper. TFTC Muff Mafia.

Easy find.

On our way to Stanthorpe today for the festival and took a detour to try our luck with this new series. This was an easy find. A great idea for a series. Enjoying learning about the local history. My how things have changed!
Thanks Muff Mafia

When the notification came through that this series was published we were both busy and couldn't come out. The weekend came and we checked the series and noticed that Stargon1 only picked up a few FTF so we thought we would attempt. And yes we missed this one. Congrats to Stargon 1 on the FTF. TFTC MUFF MAFIA.

WooHoo! Another FTF! Nice easy one. TFTC!
