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

No luck this time

Hi

Searched high and low but no joy today

Nope. Spent ages looking all over this area in every hinted at thing I could find. No luck today.

It's not far off the track!

The container is broken and needs replacing.

A disappointing start to our caching day. Bad luck. Thanks for the hide.

We found it and it was very hard to find

ANZAC Day find. Went passed it a couple of times but found it. TFTC

After a lovely night talking and camping at Bendeela with The Hancock Clan we did a few caches on the Saturday.

I'm not sure if this has moved as the hiding spot didn't really match the hint. Mr Hancock spotted it as I was a little further down the hill. He didn't remember finding this ten years ago!?!

TFTC.

Mr Geo found this one. The bottom of the container is broken but double bagging has ensured the log is dry. Fantastic walk through here. Kutgw

Relatively quick find with some help from previous logs

This is our 2nd day in Nowra. We have driven through Nowra a number of times on our travels north away from the Victorian winter, but this is the first time we have actually stopped here. We are having a great time exploring the area and seeing the sights thanks to our own tailor made geo tour. What better way to get to know a place than thru the locals knowledge. So thanks to all the CO's that have hidden caches for us to find.
This is a great area to walk and cache in but few it can be a challenge to receive good GPS reception! So it was with this one.
We went up and down several times and searched and searched and then found it as we were giving up.
A great walk.
And a great cache now that we have found it!
TFTC

After a DNF in 2007, and another in 2011, I thought that this nemesis was going to allude ke again... Thankfully this time I found it.

Cheers

Another nice day down in the Nowra area. Focusing on the southern side of the bridge, I found a dozen along the Shoalhaven River and Nowra Creek. It was nice to catch up with Bonfire7 while I was down. Overall, a great day out - Thanks to all the Cache Owners for their caches.

Found

No luck today trying to find this one

dnf on this one. phone gps just wasnt up to the task of narrowing it down today.

Search high and low and came up empty handed not today

We have walked Ben's walk many time, often with visitors to the area. We have looked for this cache on a number of times but always on the return and by that time not had much time. Three weeks ago found it but didn't have a pen to sign the log so today went down and signed the log.

Thanks for the cache.

We searched and searched.high and low. Unfortunatly we didnt find it. Will try again another time.

Looked everywhere but could not find.

Tricky one! Just about gave up.. If you're stuck come down the hill a bit. TFTC!

Think this may have been muggled had a good hard look but no luck

Found after awhile

Container was broken

Went too high

We finally found this after a hint from a fellow geocacher. Can't believe we missed it on other occasions! Thanks for the cache

Quite hard in the dark! No suprise there though. Good hide!

Container a bit busted. In need one. Great hide though!

Found it with @Jayden_linnane. Took us awhile! Awesome spot. Container needs replacing.

Awesome find with Cody Buckland and @jayden_linnane. Container is broken tho

Thank you for this cache, enjoyed finding this (:

Had a team of students searching every rock crevice we could find but no luck

Very clever

Found it with bonfire7 nice spot

Had some fun on the bridge
Tftc

I placed a new cache nearby so thought I'd test my memory and try and find this one without igear.
Found it in a pretty sad state. It needs a new container and a larger logbook and pencil.
Still has a great view and relaxing atmosphere.
pelusa

Tftc!

Out on a caching weekend in the Shoalhaven with Jaybeem! TFTC!

This was nearly a DNF. Looked around for quite a while then decided to continue walking Bens Way. Decided to have another go on the way up to the car park. Took the right track this time and it was an easy find. TFTC

Cache container badly damaged.

Grandma took me down to the wobbly bridge while my little sister was in hospital, and we soon found the treasure. There's a hole in the cache box, looks like something tried to eat it.

Had found this one before when the container and log were in dire need of maintenance, but neglected to log it! So finding ourselves with a few extra minutes, we popped along to it again and having been here before we put our hands upon it straight away. The container is still damaged in the corner and a new piece of dry paper to sign but maintenance needed. SL TNLN TFTC The Sundowners.

Just an update, that the container is broken in the bottom corner and there is a concern that items will be lost. Thanks Sundowners

Not sure if the Cach still exists??

Thanks for this cache, it is such a lovely walk

Yes, a bit tricky with the co-ords but the hints helped alot. TFTC

TFTC that was great fun. Log signed

Container has been chewed and log is wet

I read the hint and I was thinking that it was a massive rock but in the end found it TFTC

To a bit longer then I expected but nicely done

Compass jumped all around - had a very long, extensive search to no avail.

Great walk quite easy find despite tree cover TFTC

Lots of possible spots. Gps jumping around a bit. Prolly easy muggle spot. Will have to try another day.

We walked down by the split and found that cache, then walked up the steps but didn't find the cache. We will have to try again another time.

Found again with the geokids

Done and dusted. Good easy find. Took bug will take care of it.

Find #95

It took a bit of searching to find this one. As always it is to found in the most easy of spots.
Log not signed as it was wet and needs replacing. A photo was taken as proof of find.

Great little find with the 4 boys under 13, however a little testing with only one adult when the ground is slippery. Took nothing however left a travel BUG MRKD12.

a bit of scratching around but got there in the end. my gps had me 5 metres away when i found it, as other have said, tree cover and cliffs. not too far from the trail

A quick easy find while taking a leisurely stroll around Ben's Walk. A nice sunny day, love the walk and the area. TFTC, great location.

Broken box, with log saturated. Could not sign

Great find with friends took a while but got there in the end

Took a long time to find. Finally found by the missus

Was misled but found it else where

Higher up the track than I thought.

This really needs new book and cleaning out

TFTC!

A bit of a walk down from the showground and like a previous log I first searched too high. When the big rock rolls it will really roll!

Gps says it is in the river. Will try again at low tide.

Log is very wet and needs a replacement.

Cache log is wet, but the cache is awesome!

TFTC Sundowners

This was another nice cache to find, but it is need of a bit of drying out.
TNLNSL, TFTC the Sundowners

1645 GAFF1 While the log was moist I was able to sign it along with MVMB. Could do with some silica gel I guess.
Will add a book for the Challenging Cache elective of the DGSc.

Log to wet to sign. Was out in the open put it back where we think belonged. Tipped the water out of the container but unable to sign

Came in at this one from the wrong side and were looking to high for a while but got there in the end.

Found it. Bridge needs a little bit of repair.

Another nice one, Our group was a bit put off by the location in regards to the clue, but eventually stumbled over it.

Not a bad find , deffinatly not where I thought it would be .

Come back with Matt and found this one

No find today. Due to some bad weather of late the bridge was also broken. Nice walk but disappointed with our first DNF. Not giving up, will look again soon.

Dnf. Searched around with the geokids but no luck.

My GPSr went nuts over this one, but eventually went with my initial suspicion and managed to jetski the cache. Nice!

Thanks from Team Luna May, nice walk, nice cache nice view. Secret Harbour WA.

TFTC thanks to mum for finding it

Took a bit of hunting but found it eventually. Then found the bridge - & the speccy view looking back of the hanging rocks we'd been hunting under. Woah!! Found with Winter Wolf.

Last one of a very successful mission to Nowra, with 11 finds and no DNFs. I thought this one might be a DNF though! Like others before me I explored what seems to be a likely spot before heading further afield and making the find. This bridge and path seems to be a popular shortcut with younger folk as I had to hide from a few groups passing by as I searched. Resisted the temptation to leap out of a cave screaming at them. Nice spot here, TFTC!

I didn't expect this to be here. My nine year old insisted to go the extra trek and found it while I fumbled around down below.

A fairly lengthy search with the GPS bouncing about. Looked a past logs, moved spots and made the find.

a bit of a scramble but success with Bushwalker Sam

In town for the weekend so the geowife could attend a horse comp, so I spend a few hours caching around the area.

This was a quick find on a Sunday morning....

Thanks for the cache

#1,409

We'd parked near the Grandstand cache, then realised we could easily get to this & another nearby cache as well.

So we changed out of casual shoes & into boots, and set off. It was nice to leave the suburban micros behind and get into a nice walk out here. Didn't take long to get to GZ, then we started looking. And looking. And looking. There were a lot of places a cache could be! Then one of the logs gave us an idea of where we should look and bikerbuddy found the cache soon after.

Thanks

We scouted around for a few minutes and weren't finding it. I read a few logs, and one of them gave me a clue. After that I had it within a minute.

There was a huge rock close by which I would have expected the cache to be hidden in. It's the kind of thing that might have been done in the mountains. Anyway, thanks

Found it after a lot of looking around. Cache very wet and in need of maintenance. Pirate picture removed and replaced with blue penguin train.
TFTC.

This one was tricky. The hint doesn't help all that much. My geocousin found it before I did! TFTC

Found with snorris. The GPS went crazy around GZ. Found when all but resigned to having to log a DNF!
