I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

A new cache container is under construction at the moment and will be up as soon as I can get away from work.
It should be ready in the next week.

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 you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 45 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

Dnf

Think this one is gone, considering it’s such an obvious exposed spot.

Looked around but not sure if the new concrete has anything to do with not being able to find.

A long weekend brings with it a weekend of camping and caching. fitzy_1965 and I decided to do a loop from Goulburn out to Naranderra, Griffith, Condoblin and back home so I could pick up the last few counties out that way.

Unfortunately, I didn't have much luck in finding caches whilst in Leeton. No luck here today and again fitzy can confirm it has gone. Base appears to be new.

DNF. Thought there was only one place it could be but couldn’t find it

Dnf

Found it

New cement ??

Tftc

Our first find! Was hard but noticed it as we were walking off

In the Leeton area for a few days and in the town itself today with time to grab a handful of caches I admired the work of Walter and made a discreet and quick grab of this tiny cache Thanks TheScoutWizard

.

I woke up this morning with the smell of smoke from the bush fires. When I went for a look outside, it a dark orange colour and I could barely see the end of the road. With this knowledge, I quickly got my Geo-bag and hopped in the car and drove off in the direction to Leeton. I chose to find the caches around Leeton and Yanco today as there were two FTF’s up for grabs. Also this will also be my first time in Leeton since the 2013 Riverina Swimming Carnival, so I’ll get to see some of the changes around the area. I saw the caches pop up about a week ago and was very surprised that they were still unfound. When I arrived in Leeton, it was a very light layer of smoke and it stayed that way until the last cache I found in Yanco then it started, slowly getting thick but I still had 4 caches planned… so I said ‘screw it, I’ll go get them’! After finding these caches I drove home in the now quite thick smoke arriving home which was still the same as when I left. I enjoyed my day out, the places I visited and all the caches I found. TB visit on all found caches and on some of the smaller logsheets I signed as 5/1 JM. I would like to thank all the CO’s of the caches I found, for allowing them to bring enjoyment to me and the rest of the caching community. TFTC’s
Today’s totals:
19 Finds (17 GC and 2 GCA)
1 DNF

This one could only be in one spot and this lead to a quick find. I hope this one lasts. TFTC

We were up in sunny Leeton for a family Christmas do at my sisters place, and as we were staying a who,e 300m away from this one, how could we not grab it!
So here we are, a bit dusty from the night before, but not going too bad considering....and dad went solo for the quick find and sign while the ladies made sure the car air con stayed working.

A new cache container, a new log roll, nice and shiny!
Come and find me!

Righto.
Time for a look, then.
I'll let you know when I get there.

Pretty certain that this one is MIA

Out and about but failed to unearth this one. There has been some new work in the area.

Found it

Found it, not quite in view of the ambulance station but close enough

As we began our search we were approached by a lapsed cacher and we had quite a nice conversation with him about the town. He did not help us but it was a quick find for Mrs LHBfans. Very clever artwork nearby. TFTC TheScoutWizard and dragonxpup. Found 28/9/19 11:32 am. Cache 1755 for us.

Found and logged using the Cachly app for iPhone.

On a short break and drive with a view of grabbing a few caches to fill in some missing New South Wales and Victorian LGAs along the way. Today as we head back towards home we stopped off for a hunt for this little blighter. Took a bit but we found it, with the cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. The cache container is in good condition, but need a new logsheet. Thanks for the cache TheScoutWizard and dragonxpup.

The following TBs came through for the mileage : Bob geoMinion, Dave geoMinion, Evil geoMinion, Jerry geoMinion, Larry geoMinion, Mary Hyde's Treasure, Stuart geoMinion, teamMerlin's 7 Deadly Ducks Tag (Lust), Vanlith The Youngling, Hidden Creatures Geocoin TB, teamMerlin's Football, Malta, Nat the Travel Bug, Signal from Pahrump

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

Had fun finding it

Tfc GPS was not working well today also new log needed

Thanks

Found after midnight.... nice & quiet then.
TFTC

We call this 'water with flare' Not your boring water tower, that's for sure. Thanks for placing a cache here and making sure that we visit.

Found during an epic long weekend of quality caching around the Riverina with fitzy_1965. Lots of km's covered including some fun wheeling in the beautiful countryside meant for a thoroughly enjoyable trip

What a cool sculpture! Very clever how these are made! Wandered around and made the easy find of the little bugger.

Thanks for the hide, TheScoutWizard

18,538. Found during a meander west of Wagga with specimenX.

Day 2 of our trip trying to go for crossing off previous DNFs and for harder/longer to get caches deep in forests and reserves. Bonus urban cache. This was a pretty quick find thanks to the eagle eyes/fingers of specimenX. Having spent most of my life living in Canberra its great to find these other gems where the Griffins were involved.

Thanks TheScoutWizard !!

On our travels from Brisbane down to Mount Buffalo we searched and found som Geocaches. Thanks to all owners for the Caches.

Found while exploring Australia for 3 weeks from the USA with my husband ACLCoordinator, Dirkster007 and Detour429. We signed the log LADD to save time and space. Thanks to everyone who placed the caches we found along our route while we visited your beautiful country!

Found on our trip to Australia with lincolnsaunt, ACLCoordinator and detour429. We signed the log as LADD to save space. TFTC!

Found on our 3 week trip to Australia with lincolnsaunt, ACLCoordinator and Dirkster007. We're on our last few day headed back to Sydney from Ayres rock. We've had so much fun in your beautiful country. Many thanks to the CO's who placed these caches so that we may continue to enjoy this game we love. Signed the log as LADD to save space. TFTC!

A 3 week trip from the USA. Traveling with Lincolnsaunt, Dirkster007 & Detour429.
We are signing logs as L.A.D.D.
Thanks to all the owners for providing stops for our trip!
Tftc!

Quick find while at the Art Deco Festival. Cache OK

Booked into my hotel, so a little time for caches before dinner. Tftc.

Accurate coordinates and an object which fitted the hint perfectly led to a quick find. However it took a minute or two to extract the cache from its very snug hide. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks TheScoutWizard and dragonxpup for the cache.

NSW Council Area #123!!!

An easy find but it took a while to get the log out!

TFTC.

Thanks for the cache

Day 2 of KmanNZ NSW/VIC Summer Roadtrip 2018. Tocumwal to Wagga Wagga via Griffith. Hot as hell, glad to have air con. Goal is to reach 1000 finds for this calendar year.

***NO CLUES OR HINTS IN THE FOLLOWING TEXT***

Since moving from New Zealand in 2016 I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches.
So far I’ve knocked off 4 of the states. VIC, SA, NSW and A.C.T all multiple times.
No two areas are the same here and almost every place I go to is stunning. The beauty of caching is that it takes you to so many places you would never usually find.
Thank you to all the cachers out there for hiding and maintaining their caches. Especially to those who put so much effort into creating unique and fun hides.
I enjoy finding well maintained caches in fun and unique cache containers. No one likes finding a mint tin – but a find is a find after all.
I’m currently working on a Project-GC challenge to get the average word count on my logs over 200 words.
So please ignore the rest of this log as it is just nonsense and song lyrics.
Well she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin' that there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
Yeah, and if she had to die
Tryin' she, had one little promise
She was gonna keep
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
Well, It was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
She could hear the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves crashin' on the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful, when
Something that's so close
And still so far out of reach
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
Well I'm a-runnin' down the road try'n to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that want to own me, two that want to stone me
One says she's a friend of mine
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand, and take it easy
Well, I'm a standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flat-bed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win, though we will never be here again
So open up I'm climbin' in, so take it easy
Well, I'm a runnin' down the road tryin' to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover who won't blow my cover, she's so hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy
Come on baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
Oh, we got it easy
We oughta take it easy

Approaching this cache all I could think of is I want to climb the water towers. Guess I'm not the only one since the ladder doesn't stretch all the way. Handy ambulance nearby to. Cache found in good condition. Tftc

Here for a one day business trip. Early start with a quick walk into town. Read the hint and found obvious place to start but not where you traditionally find these caches.

Was a little panic moment where I thought I might struggle to find the cache and then.....oooooo you sneaky little thing.



Second cache in Leeton!!

Better head back to motel in case my work collegue who thinks I am mad actually confirms his theory because I am late due to coaching.

TFTC

The water towers are certainly unique
No plain olde water tower for our Walter !!
It had to be embellished with a frieze [^]
Nice to see that the third tower designers kept the theme going

The towers perfectly compliment the view back down the hill towards the ROXY [^]

This cache took a while to show itself
It certainly blends in well

TFTC.

Found while I bumped into 3-Kings!

Found with Murf who spotted us being stealthy! Great to meet a local cacher

Tiny as. Good hide

Quick find may won’t last long to east to get

27.7.18 sneaky spot.

First to sign the new log book

Come and find me!

I'm a magnetic nano on something round.
Rusty, too.

Hi there TheScoutWizard.

This is the 2nd of 4 caches we didn't find today. [:(!]

We spent quite some time here at around 12:38:00 PM, but we just couldn't locate your cache, so here's a DNF from us.

Regards
Ian and Penny

Thanks for the great hide on a road trip to Leeton for Easter

Found it ! Happy Easter

Found out and about during a work trip

Super quick find in most obvious place

Tricky one. Thanks

Tocumwal - Narrandera
We stopped on the roads where suitable to pull over with a caravan on, to find a cache.
We have now set up camp at The Showgrounds, quiet a few campers here.This can make it to frustrating. Only took a short stop at each cach as wanted to return to the aircondition in the car.
I had family in Leeton so we did the day trip over. Mostly micro & nano caches in town.
Thanks for placing this cache TheScoutWizard

thx

New years day walkabout.
Looks like were only the second group to find it
TFTC

Had lunch here – hoping for the find – next time

In Neranderra today, a little detour for this cache today. Great spot. TFTC

A last minute decision to watch our nephew play his junior rugby league grand final found us in Leeton today. Quick park n grab after the game. All good with the hide. Tftc.

A new cache container and a new clue.
Come and find me!

Muggles have struck again.
I'll replace the cache soon.

Day one of the Alice Mega Road Trip with Sol de lune. Grabbed our snaps of the trig and gave this one a go, but came up empty handed today. Next time perhaps.....?

Updating

All good. Tftc

Out for a day of Birdwatching and caching with baby&Mrs gopher.
Birding at Fivebough swamp followed by some lunch in town. Next some caches. A quick find. TFTC

5750. Time to combine some caching and bird watching today in company with thomo31 at 1405.
Spent some time at Fivebough Swamp with lots of water in it. Came back to town for some tucker and to grab a couple of caches. With past knowledge we made this an easily located container. SL Tnx The ScoutWizard

4946. Found with Relish64. Out on a Saturday arvo mini geo mission and this one was on the list.
A nice quick find after eliminating a few options.
Thanks for the cache and the fun.

Clever cache!

Very clever!

Found at 12:13 PM GAFF3.
OK - now heading out of town a bit and the parking is somewhat easier. Looking at the towers, we wondered how hard would it be to "design" them? They are just big silo type structures with X's around the top rim aren't they They are also an indication of how the town grew over 40 years.
Took a while to locate this cache as the GPSr just would not indicate any particular spot. So around and around we went until finally we looked in a spot about 8 metres from GZ where we thought such an item would be hidden. I had looked there before, but wasn't expecting such a sneaky hide [B)]
Thanks TheScoutWizard.

Mum was all over it!

Yet another quick grab being shown the ropes by a new caching buddie Nomes11 and makingitcount and the fam

Out and about with the family, a quick stop by and we had the cache TFTC

thank you for the find

We walked up the hill to this one and commented that these would be the fanciest water towers we have ever seen. We read the signs near GZ an\d took some photos while we waited for an ambulance to leave the station. At GZ we noticed a familiar hide and soon had the log signed.
TFTC.

Quick find. Thanks for the hide.

Best camouflage we've found. Fantastic. Finally got one myself

I should have checked this one before.
I hadn't noticed that it had gone missing.
Thanks for putting it back and putting a new log in it.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.
We found this one lying on the ground and the log was nowhere in sight.
[8)] We had a piece of paper handy for a log and replaced the cache where we thought it should go but on reflection we should have placed it on top and not under. [8)]

I like it

Another one off the list
