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 30 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

Moving from Adelaide to Brisbane, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I decided to drive the long distance to make the opportunity a holiday, taking 12 days and passing through Victoria, New South Wales, and then finally arriving in Queensland. We spent the first few days in SA's Riverland, visiting Morgan, Berri and Renmark; and then drove through Mildura in Victoria. In NSW, we stopped at Hay, Parkes, Merriwa, Tamworth, Port Macquarie, and Coffs Harbour, and then entered Qld to stop for a night in Robina in the Gold Coast.
Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I travelled from Hay to . We travelled east via Griffith, Yenda, Barellan, Ardlethan, and Temora where we stopped for lunch. We then spent the early afternoon completing the two Adventure Labs around the town and lake, and then headed north and north-east via Barmedman, Forbes, and arriving in Parkes in the late evening. Several of NSW's LGAs were visited during our travels today.
We also had a good look around this train, with again like others, suspecting what we were searching for, but alas no cache spotted. Either the cache is missing (which we highly suspect), or this geocache's difficulty is far too low. A CO check on this geocache is likely required. Thanks anyway jameskomodo for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Alas a DNF - only place we didn’t check was under postcaps- they were too hard to get off!
We knew what we were looking for, just couldn’t find it today. We look over, under and up all over the fence, but to no avail. Thanks anyway.
Such a good find! So so so sneaky! Loved it and a good trip back to my primary school! Thanks to the hider!
Not too difficult. When I saw the fence I knew we had a good chance of finding this one.
21,674. Found with minniek during our October Long Weekend Outback Adventure.
Day 2 of our October Long Weekend Outback NSW trip. After packing up camp and having brekkie at the Narrandera Bakery (a must do when in the area) we headed off for more caches. This was the next on the list for me. Parked near GZ and we walked over to start the search. Soon I heard the welcome cry from minniek 'found it'.
TFTC jameskomodo !!

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.
Up nice and early, packed and on the road to Griffith via Leeton. All quiet here today making for a quick find.

Find # 6362
Nice quick find. It took thirty seconds to find and ten minutes to roll the logsheet small enough to fit back in the container.
Here in Griffith overnight for work then off to Leeton tomorrow.

We drove to griffeth just for our favorite cafe when we got there we realized it was closed we dropped my sister at swimming she is an exersize feak, anyway on the way we played a game who could say the cars fastest but my brother thought we were having a farting comp because he was doing some rippers ewwww, when we found this cashe it was 11 degrees Celsius when I got back in the car it was 13 how peculiar. We did handstands on the grass and found it yaystay safe stay sanitized and hold onto your toilet tissues
TFTC. By the time I came here my phone battery was running flat. So I checked all the likely places before I turned my phone on. Walked to it and found it before my phone went dead. I’m visiting from The Hunter Valley vineyard area. Love Griffith.
New user had incorrectly marked this cache as needs maintenance when they couldn't find it (instead of logging a DNF). Others have found it since, cache should be all good.
I could sadly not find the geocache I spent about 10 minutes looking on the fence but didn’t find it.
Found on a fine Autumn day for another drive to escape COVID-19. 
Had to go to Griffith for the day for a business trip and managed to find a few while there.
Some good safe hides and a couple of fav's.
Cache condition is OK/good. A quick find and no muggles.
Thanks for the cache jameskomodo,

*FTF* @ 10:11am on 23 January 2020 I started the day by doing the new ‘Locationless Labcaches’ (https://project-gc.com/Home/PGC-AdventureLab?fbclid=IwAR3ZTMW6QWWPQZPrhuRvURy_U2FtJxVeZPAV8a7-HsQnsvsI7orZ_rwqJfk) that were created by Project GC. After making those five finds, I decided on going for a drive. With a few FTF’s up for grabs in and around Griffith plus a couple of other caches which have popped up since the last time I was there, I headed out. I ended up with 12 finds, two DNF’s and a NA. I also enjoyed visiting all the locations that today’s caching took me plus many different hides that made me think in creative ways. TB visit on all found caches and on some of the smaller logbooks/sheets I signed as 23/1 JM. Thank you to all CO’s of the caches I found today for allowing them to bring me and the rest of the caching community much joy.
TFTC ‘s even the ones I didn’t find.
