Hi Countrykittykat,The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, or it may not but in the absence of the cache owner performing maintenance and/or disabling the cache to check it out, 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 4 weeks) 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 4 weeks 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.Ngaambul - Matt

Like many before us, we came up empty handed. Could CO please check.

As per others DNF.

Can we get this one checked?

Owner check?

Another DNF for us here this morning.

Couldn't find this one.

Spent a while looking but DNF. Lots of leaves mb hiding it. No luck

Nice quick find in a pleasantly shady spot. Interesting history - TFTC!

Unfortunately log is full and is a rite-in-the_rain type with most of the signatures illegible. However we had a spare roll of paper which fitted nicely with the old log. Nice location. TFTC Countrykittykat.

Need another piece of paper

Found on a 50-cache day-trip to Goulburn for GGGT events #57 and #58. Took two goes to find which end was the correct end to approach from - for future finders, approach from the North! Took a few minutes to spot the cache. Awesome historic location. TFTC Countrykittykat!

Found It!
No one else around here early on a Sunday morning. After a lot of searching I spotted the little cache right there in front of me.

Tftc nice

Nice easy find, good to know some history of Goulburn, tftc.

#14911 - 3:53:00 PM; Dropped in to Goulburn on the way further north for a dinner, to collect a couple of AL bonus caches and some others as I was passing. It looks like I finally picked the right time of the week and the right time of day to have another visit to try for this cache. Parked close to GZ and spotted the cache before alighting the geomobile. A nice quick find and sign, although I had to squeeze my name along the edge of the rather full log sheet. TFTC Countrykittykat

We searched a number of places before we finally turned this one up. Fortunate to have no muggles about this morning.

Our first full day in Goulburn, and what a great day weather wise it was.
We had a number of Adventure Labs in our sight, as we always enjoy them, and different locations put on different slants which gives us ideas for a Lab credit we have to use when we get home..
We tried to pick up any caches we went near en route which becomes complicated, juggling phones, GPSrs and ipad maps for the overview, as well as the car GPS!
We found a variety of caches and hides, generally all in good condition and saw some of the sites of Goulburn.
Our only downside was a flat tyre late in the day, but even then a lovely bloke stopped and offered to help!

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache Countrykittykat.
**SKI Pair****

TFTC. Log was full and wet. Good spot!

The Gong Gangsters (steeba, Hoojar and The Rats) took advantage of an extended Easter / Anzac break to head out for another caching juggernaut through the Southern Highlands and Yass regions. Blessed with beautiful weather we targeted a few powertrails and high D/T rated caches.

After 2 full days we'd collected a plethora of finds, made some new friends, laughed alot, pushed our bodies beyond the comfortable level and most of all - had a great time with mates. Thanks to all the CO's for your caches and those who tagged along.

After a previous DNF, it was good to knab this one after dark.

I had a quick look here pre-dawn and with only a phone torch I decided to move on. Maybe next time

In Goulburn for the day picking up some hides. As Mr Bushy was a wearer of Baxter Boots we were interested in the building etc. A bit tricky working out which way to enter, but we found it in the end.
Nice neat well covered hide.
Thanks Countrykittykat for the hide.

TFTC. Easy one to complete our stay at Goulburn

Another quick stop this morning on a quick road trip with Steeba before work. Ish.

Cheers

Hoojar and I teamed up today for an early morning assault primarily on the challenge series around Marulan/ Towrang but then into Goulburn. What was hoped to be achieved by lunch dragged well into the afternoon but we did have quite a successful day out. TFTC!

Not too much trouble here at this interesting piece of history (still going!).

Pulled up to look. Owners came and told us he asked them to move it, got asked to leave.

That a lot

Got it

Boring

Found on on damp morning. Geo Rabbit had to look up to spot this little fella. SL, contacted the CO to say that the log sheet requires replacement. Nice hide. Thanks goes to the CO for placement and bringing me to this location.

Found on previous phone

Out and about with the Ukester today.

Thanks!

Well, Finalf29 and I had planned to kayak today but definitely not in this heat and wind... so what to do? What!!!... just realised it was 11 degrees cooler in Goulburn... OK time for another Goulburn raid. I had a wonderful afternoon finding an Adventure Lab, mystery, multis & trads and all with my best bud

What an interesting building. This is one of those tricky ones you can't find and then when you do it is so obvious. Tricked us for a little while... but eye level is the key! Thanks

Found

Found him

Found it

TFTC a quick find along our journey. Nice history to see the factory

Tftc loved it

Fun one to find. I had to give up because I saw a dead cat/animal through the fence but hubby was happy to find his first one.

Found with the Geo family

TFTC

Find number 4980

We focused on the wrong location first but soon spotted the cache.

Thanks Countrykittykat for placing this cache.

Day out in Goulburn and the Southern Highlands finally ending up with 25 finds signed and replaced all caches. Found most in the dark with a phone torch. Thanks heaps for all the caches in this area.

Love my Baxter boots!!!Good coords made for a quick find today, thanks

Nice hide TFTC

At first I searched near the building, then I extended the search area to include something that keeps people out. Bingo!

Today was to be my final 'work from home' shift, but I decided to take the day off and head towards Goulburn, collecting caches along the way.
I parked on the wrong side of the building, but slipped quietly around the back to gz. A nice easy find - might be more difficult in summer!
TFTC, Countrykittykat

Good to know that permission is given for a cache. It makes it so much easier to wander and look around. Took a few minutes...TFTC

Quick find! TFTC

A trip to Goulburn was on the radar. Popped down after work and collected nearly two dozen finds. Not a bad afternoon haul. Thanks For The Caches!

Quick and easy find good hiding spot

We spent longer than half an hour looking for this but nothing

We had a most enjoyable day of caching around Goulburn. Sunday is always a great day to do caches in a city. We also ventured out for a bush walk and found the Governors Hill series. Thanks to Countrykittykat for arranging this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

TFTC
Was bit stumped til we looked at eye level

Pretty quiet up here this afternoon so managed an uninterrupted search. Which I needed as it was surprisingly tricky to spot. TFTC Countrykittykat.

cheeekly done

My family and I travelled down from Brisbane to Vincentia to spend the Christmas period with relatives. With bush fires burning in the surrounding areas, we decided to head off to Canberra on 28th December for New Year in an (ultimately futile) attempt to escape the smoke.

I was due to pick up some geocaching friends from Sydney on 2 January for a planned hike in Kosciusko National Park (ultimately cancelled due to closures by bush fires ), but the smoke was so bad in Canberra today that I headed off a day early in search of some fresher air. On the drive there I was able to stop off here for a visit.

Being a public holiday the place was deserted and I did not have to worry about any muggles observing my searching. It took a little while to spot the cache, but once found I stamped my name in the logbook and replaced it as found. TFTC

No one around on Boxing Day. Made it easy to search. Surprisingly quick find. TFTC

Well, luckily we had already navigated and parked at this cache before I pulled up the previous logs. As we wouldn't have bothered if we saw it had DNF's from well known cachers! We almost pulled away again, but I said it was worth a look regardless given we were already here!

So after some careful reading of the past logs, there were enough hints to pretty much give away the location and hide. So all it took was a little bit of a keen eye, before the obvious hide soon showed itself! Quite easy in hindsight, but yes the coordinates are out!

Thanks Countrykittykat, you will be happy to learn that this cache is still here, but a small coordinate update would be appreciated by future finders

No joy today tyfc

No luck for us, read some old logs and still couldn't see it...

A nice little hide the previous logs helped locate the cache. signed dsd

# 5761 I stopped in Goulburn on the way back from Sydney but is was still a bit early for dinner, so I spent just over and hour seeking hidden boxes. I'd previous cleared out Goulburn, but a steady flow of new caches has appeared.
Spent quite a while looking in the wrong spot, but the coords are about 10M out. I read some old logs and eventually made the find.
Thanks Countrykittykat

GPS not so good in the wind today but the geo kid soon found it.

Found with bedlem2 & kazzacosmo

Good eyes our young geo kid spied it

In Goulburn for a couple of days, to pick up a few caches.
Most caches found in good condition, signed and replaced.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Countrykittykat, for us and others to find.

Took a while but got there in the end.
Thanks for the cache.

Found with Gypsy26

I've always admired Baxter Boots but had no idea of their link with Goulburn. A quick visit for us for a family birthday, but we also managed to fit in a couple of caches.

Thank you, Countrykittykat

Visit trackables

Thanks for the great cache

We found this cache a very long time ago and must not have logged it. TFTC. ??

Attended a 50th birthday in Sydney last night. A quick stop here on the return journey to Canberra. Cache soony found. TFTC.

Found today while visiting Goulburn.

I came out caching with All7, working through a list of caches (Mostly in Goulburn) that she wanted to find on our way to the event, at Marulan, that afternoon. I had previously found a few of the caches on her list, but was happy to watch her find them ... or help if needed - not that I was much help, when I didn't actually remember where I had found them.
Thanks to All7 for inviting me to go with her - it was a fun day, driving along enjoying the views of snow in the paddocks and on the hills (snow was even falling in Canberra that morning), with a couple dozen fun finds, a freezing but funny event, and a lunch in a nice warm pub

TFTC - a cache find, and some interesting history to boot ...

Found with friend.. thanks

Found with Nissan 65on a days trip caching. Cool day but better than being at work. Being the cooler time of rhe year made this easier than it could have been.Thanks for the cache

Found with cullum68 on a caching trip away thanks for the cache

Took me way longer than it should have.tftc

Nice historical part of town and a sneaky hide .
Found and signed at 1.10 pm.
Many thanks for the cache hide.

Quick and easy find. Tftc

Read the logs and thought this can’t be too hard. Hmmm. Blended in nicely!
TFTC

I'd stopped in Goulburn to fill up the car and have a break from driving. After getting petrol I parked nearby this cache and braved the cold to GZ. Once there I soon spotted the hide, log signed and all replaced and back to the car to get out of the cold. TFTC.

This looked like an interesting cache so grabbed it on the way. Looks quiet at the factory but guess it is a hive on industry inside. Thanks for the find Countrykittykat.

OCW StumbleTrip in Goulburn today. We approached this location from another cache just down the road but quickly realised we were on the wrong side of the property. A quick divert to the right side and CIH reasonably quickly. Watch out for the silent cop! TFTC

Originally went to the rear of the premises but quickly realised mistake and rectified the situation. Easy find here at eye level. TFTC

Today was a great day out with awesome friends and some great caches. Tankengine, Joolay, Kittykatch and I planned a day of caching up north from home in a few of the smaller towns. We started at 8:30am and were home by 7:30pm. We had so much fun finding caches, seeing the sights, laughing and exploring. Thanks guys for a great day out and lots of laughs.

**THE CACHE** This was cache number one for the day. We parked near by and walked over to GZ. The coords kept taking me to the corner of the building, but the satellite image was looking like it was further down the fence line. After a long search we decided to paf. With the hint we found the cache straight away in plain site. Tftc Countrykittykat!!!

Chooo ooo - found today with the wonderful company of dty73, Joolay and Kittykatch! Today we planned to head out to the Mittagong/Bowral area, and collect a few caches. It was an earlyish start, and we were on the highway well and truly by 8.30am. This one was our first stop for the day - we needed to stretch our legs by now! This one took way longer than it should have! In the end, it was an easyish find, but we had concentrated our search in the wrong area. - I think the coordinates are about 8-10m out - well that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it . - Still a lovely interesting location - I had no idea that there are still boots made in Australia, so a favourite from me! Thanks CKK.

Coords not that good. But Found with Kittykatch, Tankengine and DTY73 venturing up this way to pick up caches in the area. Beautiful day to be out and about and probably the last good weather for awhile. TFTC

Found with Joolay, dty73 and Tankengine on a cache run to Moss Vale. This one took us a while. TFTC

I came to G Town today with a few errands but mainly for the 150th anniversary of the railway. While in the area I turned this one into a smiley. TFTC.

Heading home from a trip out to Crookwell I thought I would stop into Goulburn to make one last find for the day,I seem to be having a shocker finding micros lately as I also struggled with this one,after reaching out to a PAF I soon found it right there in front of me,good coords just a case of cache blindness.
Thanks countrykittykat for the cache

Once everything had calmed down we decided to head to Goulburn for the afternoon to attend the CITO here and do a few new caches that had popped up.

Baxter boots was closed when we drove up to this one but made a quick find and was on our way.

Thanks for the hide Countrykittykat

After a day of rest to recover from all things Mega, fitzy_1965 and I headed north for a few caches while the kids spent some time with a relative.

Ended up with 4 multis & 4 trads so a good afternoon all round with each a quick and easy find and all at interesting locations.

18,100. Found during an afternoon meander cleaning out some new caches with minniek.

After a meander north of Goulburn we returned home for the 3 outstanding caches located around here. A good day for this one as the site was quiet. Quick find at GZ.

Thanks for the interesting history Countrykittykat! !!
