No response from owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note.. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

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 30 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 page and post a note every month or so to keep everyone up to date.

This was burnt out a while ago, and the cache was destroyed.
Looks like the CO hasn't made any move yet.

We had no internet the last 3 weeks so, we can only now log all our found caches.
Found nothing. Everything was burned.

A fire has been through here a couple of days ago.
Embers still smoldering and smokey.
At GZ found the remains of a plastic container melted due to the fire.
Also burnt paper, and what was possibly a melted small plastic toy.

Found what was left of the cache (destroyed - only ? burnt log book cover, melted plastic and a tool which we took) due to a fuel reduction fire in the area very recently. We will upload the photos - one of what was left of the cache and the other of the still smoldering fire in the area over this weekend.
New cache required due to the fire please The Wombat74

Found while on holidays with Doscrapbooking, my daughter from Sweden and her family, and Sweet and Sour,and his wife. A great trip and good to find all the caches on our way. TFTC

On our way to 1770 with my new bride for our honeymoon, tagging along my family, this includes, my daughter 'doscrapbooking', her geo mother 'TricaC2', geograndson 'Sweet Bacon' and the rest, muggle son inlaw and muggle grandson.

The muggles in the family stayed in the car, they had had their exercize for the day on the previous cache.

Easy to find, and nice relaxing walk!

Gotit ,but why so far . Cache nice n dry in its spot..

Great walk enjoyed it TNLNSL TFTC

HMM bush bashing lol found with RRF TNLN TFTC

replaced container, pen and log. cleaned everything else up. all good with cache now.

due to illness have been unable to get to caches, all will be maintained over the easter weekend

No easy way here but through the bush. Log book is saturated but managed to write on out. Tftc

First up - I was to thank us3scouts and seirra1 for a) retrieving this one and b) for leaving it in an acessible position. Certainly seems like someone was being awfully funny (or not) by hiding it the way it was.

Today, I drove toward GZ as far as I dared (I am not a fan of getting the car bogged). I made my way to GZ on foot. The area was all quiet. I got to the familiar GZ to make an easy find. TFTC azwok

Found with seirra1. TFTC azwok

Found the location easily but had a little trouble getting the cache from it's hiding place, it was almost unreachable. After much persuasion and a little spilled blood the cache was in hand. Did a little work to ensure it does not end up like i found it. TFTC azwok

With Fangsoki today to help him locate this one. Have been some works near GZ, and a huge tidy up. The cache is certainly not where I found it years ago, nor anywhere close by. Needs an owner check-up.

I attended this one with a previous finder who confirmed it is gone. Can the owner please look into this or archive if not interested in maintaining? Thanks.

No joy for us today. Not so sure about the 1.5/1.5 Difficult / Terrain rating on this one.

Didn't spend to much time on this one as it hasn't been logged in 8 months. GPS kept taking me to the same spot and no sign of anything there so decided to wait and watch until it is confirmed as present so better luck to the next person

A bit boggy getting there, but found it without too much trouble.

My little corolla made it down the track with ease. until a massive puddle about 200m from GZ. jumped out and found cache with ease, co-ords spot on. TFTC

This a fun cache to do on a lazy Sunday arvo. The boys (big and little) really enjoyed taking the 4x4 through all the mud holes. A good tip to remember is that to much mud and water in your engine is not a good thing Thank goodness for WD40. Found cache without any problem after quite a short walk. Such a nice and quiet area and there was not a muggle in sight. Took the sml tape and toy crocodile and left a highlighter and a leaf marble. SL TFTC [^]

Took my 2WD low-slung Magna along a rough track as far as I dared, but stopped before the wet looking area so I didn't bog myself. Then went by foot the rest of the way. Halfway to GZ I came across quite a good gravel track - why didn't I find that track to go along? Anyhow, I crossed the good track and continued to GZ. Found the cache in good condition and signed the log. Made my way back to my geomobile and returned to the 'beaten track'. TFTC azwok

Found this one fairly fast, although my partner was slightly miffed when I found it where she had already looked. TN/LN/SL Thanks for the cache.

A bit of a rough ride to GZ as we don't have a 4WD but the final walk was very enjoyable .
Australian bush – nothing beats it. TFTC

Not sure why we spent all the money on the GPS lady, she doesn’t know anything about this area. We decided not to drive through the farmer’s paddock, nor up the rough track beside the powerlines. Instead, we followed the handheld’s arrow and found ourselves within 40 or so metres of GZ. Obviously, instinct is something that the Garmin software people haven’t been able to programme into their latest range . TN/LN/SL/TFTC.

Yep beaten and unbeaten track but the cache was soon found SL TNLN TFTC

1st find of the cache run and 2199th total find at 10:24.

What a gread site for a cache. Enjoyed the 4wd trip in and out.

Took: Nothing
Left: Screwdriver
Thanks azwok for the cache.
Ian and Penny

9am - Could have camped here last night, good spot QUIET don't tell everyone ! Glad it wasn't raining Season, Enjoyed this one TFTC-azwok

Pleasant short walk in. Quick find at 0820. Arrived at GZ and there were tyre tracks. TNLNSL TFTC> in dry weather you could drive a 2x4 into here. Well grassed and now there is a distinct Geo car track.

4:22pm
Drove close to the cache but not up to it, did not think we would be able to turn around with the camper on up in there so legged it in. Took me a short while to find it and then the boy turned it up, it's all about looking for these things on the right angle.

Cheers

Gotcha !! TFTC

Found at 1.20pm GAFF1. We managed to find a track that allowed us to the the van and park just 75 metres from GZ. Then a walk into the bush where we stood right on the cache location and then proceeded to look elswhere for 5 minutes.
Thanks azwok.

Found with Caseylee86.TFTC

FOUND IT AS CASEYLEE86 AND 80SERIES1990

Went today after lots of rain and track in very muddy. I loved the track in even if the girlfriend didnt. Nice little walk and everything in good conditioning when we found the container. Thanks

Follow the powerlines

Took a bit of finding our way into this one, found another close by cache before we finally found a track that we could get the car down, ended up parking 60m from the cache. TFTC

WanderingAus wandered by on day eighty-five of a 6 month trip Wandering Australia and made an easy find.

Somehow I seem to have missed logging the find , took some deep investigation to work out the discrepancy between geocaching.com finds and GSAK gc finds, but this was the one[:o)]. The log was in my book and in my text file on the laptop, just hadn't made it to geocaching.com[:o)]. It's now day 127 of the trip, so only 6 weeks late[:o)].

My find No 741, LCC, TNLNSL, dropped my WanderingAus Happy New Year 2008 Gold GC in for a visit before grabbing it back again.

Mud! What fun. Have to hit the tarmac now though and continue heading north. TNLT SL.

Thanks. SM.

Found as member of LEDGIN'S.

In the book of LEDGIN'S. Found at 1600hrs. Took Energex Badge. Left Dinasaur. TFTC.

The GPS had us on a bit of a round about way to this one but found it fine, bit of a walk through the scrub and high grass. Not much chance of this one being muggled - more chance of a bush fire problem.Taken Zulu girl left Badge thing.
TFTC

this is certainly off the beaten track. we went bush bashing. yay . tftc

Go Ruby, quick to find this one her first for the day.TFTH, TNLN

Found it ... plenty of long grass ... Took nothing and left Chinese coins

An old chook visited

Found easily enough during an afternoon drive, recent showers helped cake up the tyres with mud but no problem otherwise. Took coin pendant, Left 2 Xmas Angels. TFTC.

No worries getting to this one. Might be a bit difficult shortly with the pipes being laid nearby. Took nintendo thingy ?? and left metal pendant. TFTC Cheers

May have stopped a little short, had to beat our own way through the bush. Once there, an easy find.

TNLN

Found by Bevfre 9.15am Took Crocodile Left Mondo Thank Azwok

This one certainly is off the beaten track! Took me ages to find access, only to discover that there was a direct track I could have taken... Lots of mud - car needs a good wash now. TFTC

A lot of work going on at the nearby track with a new pipeline under construction. This made the drive a bit of an experience for the Falcon. TNLN.

Good thing the Bedmaker mobile is 4x4 with all the recent rain. Located GZ no problems.
Took: toy car
left: rubber ball

A fun and easy one to find! Thanks

Was an easy find, although I reakon we took the longest way to get there.
No matter how much I looked, I could not see the relevance in the site!?
swapped pokemon dragon 4 wombat keyring

A nice easy find after a bit of a 4x4 drive TFTC.

Saturday of the big caching weekend with David from THENANKS and powellbruce. Went bush for a while and the cache was found without any problem. Thanks azwok

Track in could be a bit of fun in the wet. We just need the Muggles to stop dumping there rubbish here. Easy find
In key ring
Out Dog lead

Didn't find 'Coast Park' cache, little bloke asked if any others were close by. Nice casual ride in the bush. After getting little blokes helmet off, I'm just getting riding gear off, and here he is with the cache held high in the air 'I found it dad!', 5 year olds!
Left Dog leash, took superball.
Continued riding up the track to have a look see.

This was our 21st and last find for the day.

We happened across the right way in (sort of) first time around and enjoyed a nice drive in on pretty clean dirt track. We had no problems finding the cache given the hint.

Unfortunately there are a number of piles of rubbish dumped throughout this otherwise lovely bush.

Thanks to azwok for the cache.

Came up to Gladstone to visit rellies and do a little caching. Veered off the highway to do this one, campervan and all. The only problem was big wet potholes and lots of mud.Found the cache quite easily once we abandened the Pajero.Good hide.
Cheers G.

nice little walk - loved the ant nests camouflaged as rocks with the lichens and moulds growing on them. TNLNSL

Came looking for my mother (Janet TB) but she'd already moved on. The people who'd picked her up must'n have been able to get onto the internet yet.
My mother would have freaked if she'd seen where we'd taken her car (small sports coupe). It had rained recently and the track was muddy and rutted, but we still made it to within 100m of the cache.
Took koala key ring.
Left boomerang key ring and party popper.

Yes, this really is off the beaten track! A bit scary taking the rental car back here what with the huge deep ruts, but we made it no dramas. T Janet TB, L some toys. TFTC, T&D&m

A nice easy cache out in the bush. In good conditions 4 x 4 is not necessary, but I would imagine it might be a bit of a walk when the conditions were less than ideal. The clue gives it away from a distance. TFTC

easy to access.easy find.
grabbed driver dan and dropped of janet tb

Found it after checking out the anthills on the way. Enjoyable walk through the bush. Took : mini campervan. Left : Driver Dan in his DHL Van TB, and rainbow pencil and rubber. All 5 Soccermonkeys on the hunt today. SL. TFTC.

Took a penguin and left a kangaroo.

Wasn't FTF...darn! Mick & Kaz must have set off before sunrise. 5th find for the day and found with Dutch friends Andrew & Ellen who happen to live in this area. Well done azwok TFTC, place some more.
Took snake, left koala keyring.

I was looking last night to see if anyone had found any of my caches recently when I noticed a new player. So off at 6.00 am next day to find the cache. Great hide and another FTF for Mick & Kaz. Good to see another cache in the area. Keep up the good work.
Took Batteries
Left toy snake and race car. Also left calling card.
Thanks azwok
