No response from the owner within the last 28 Days and as per my original note this cache has been archived. If you wish to replace it please submit a new cache via [this link](https://www.geocaching.com/play/hide).

We have the cache in hand. It's been muggled again, and in a way that is not only inappropriate and inconsiderate, but just plain wrong.

We'll decide what to do with this cache shortly. We have a couple of ideas.

In the mean-time this cache is disabled.

Definitely need to be looked at or archived urgently.

Despite the recent logs had a look but it has gone. Not even a container in which to place a new log.

Found but it has been muggled. It was empty and left in plain sight.

I have found this one prior to me starting geocaching. Dropped in the check it off for myself, but it was nowhere to be found

Hada good look around GZ, thought we saw the perfect hide for it but no luck here for us today.
Thanks.

Gotcha - Not super easy but not too hard either. No log or pen so left a sheet of paper.

No trackables no log and I don't have anything with me.

#2836 - Found quickly through the spiders' webs. Found on a sunny, hot day. Many thanks to the cache owner "the_a-team" for establishing and maintaining the cache.

Day three of our High Country holiday. Staying at Jindabyne and drove to Cooma.
A lovely days caching, with some great spots to visit, and all caches in good condition.

The first think we saw (apart from the very steep road) was the goat sculpture on the top - looked great against the rock lookout.
The view from the top was quite impressive too. We saw several buildings in town we hadn't previously noticed.
Off to GZ. Fortunately there was a small track that we also hadn't noticed but were very relieved to see.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 9912. Robmc and I are staying at Jindabyne but we decided to spend a day caching around Cooma as it was forecast to be a couple of degrees warmer. We had a wonderful day, finding a lot of cute caches and visiting some interesting and scenic places. It was so nice that all caches were in good condition.

Fabulous views from the top, and we wouldn't have seen these without the lure of a cache. Such a surprise to find this gorgeous goat greeting us at the top. Spent a bit of time trying to get a good photo but the sun always seems to be in the wrong place.

Wandered off to find the cache - success. The Trackable dropped in here in September 2015 is already missing. I dropped in one of my own TB's to continue its journey and wish it good luck from here on.

Thanks the_a-team

Nice cache. Not much treasure apart from a used icecream stick! TFTC, cheers, aussieangel

#1674 9 of 16 today.

I was planning to head out to the coast this Australia Day, but the weather forecast was not promising. So this morning I thought about likely destinations and considered Cooma. I've always liked Cooma and it's Art Deco buildings. I took a few pics and generally had a good time collecting the local caches. An afternoon thunderstorm called a halt to the search.

A quick trip up the hill to grab this one. Great 360 degree views from here.

Thanks for the cache the_a-team.

Found, unless you're fit, probably don't bother walking all the way there on a really hot day.

With geograndkid. Thanks.

With Wickedfysh and granddaughter. Been through Cooma many times but first time on Nanny Goat Hill with its excellent view of the town. TFTC

Quick and easy find, took a trackable thanks.

Travelling with Miz Wacket and ZimbaW to the Melbourne Mega Event, we stopped to collect a few caches that had been carefully selected by ZimbaW for quality and location. This cache was an excellent start to our trip, and started Miz Wacket's truly remarkable run of finds for the weekend.
A favourite point from me for the view and the goat.

Cache #1 for the day, found with steelpaw and ZimbaW on our road trip to Melbourne for the Mega weekend, I love goats-what a great spot!! Thanks for showing us this

8:00am

Traveling with steelpaw and Miz Wacket to the Melbourne Event. We have decided to track down some quality caches on the way and this was our first stop. MW found it while I was investigating another great hiding spot some distance away. What a lovely view, and so close to town. Thank you so much for bring us here a-team.

I look at this spot every time I go through, but haven't actually been up here before (that I can remember). A top spot with lots of great rocks. Left TB.

Thanks

Great hide but the track in was a bit of a giveaway

Followed the well worn path. After leaving we walked down some streets away from the main through road and discovered the wonderful historical buildings; gaol, courthouse and post office.

Thanks!!! No TB though

found by geo son, left a heart charm from big geo sons wedding TFTC

Found it !

Made a quick find however extracting the cache from its hide proved to be more difficult than the find. I guess I'm not much of a billy goat when it comes to climbing rocks! Great views of Cooma are had by the goat. TNLNSL Thanks the A-team for leading us to this great little lookout.

Found it!

Travelling down to the snow we went for a munzee and ended up with a cache too. Lovely spot in Cooma. In all the years I have driven past Cooma never thought to have an explore. The family actually enjoyed the stop. TFTC.

TFTC. Nice hilly track. ...

Found second time round after it had gone missing previously. Dropped of trackable AURYN which I picked up in the beautiful Czech republic, so please move it on:-)

Not hidden and full of rocks. Hidden again and emptied of rocks

Gotcha!, and what a great spot for a hide. TFTC, but its a pity Cooma Council doesn't do more to keep the site in a tidier condition

Thanks for a quick find for a Melbourne tourist. SL

Found this one on our road trip down the south coast of NSW.

There were some amazing views from this location.

TFTC!

Tftc, good lookout.

Found what was left of the cache. Snap lock bags pen and calling cards. Signed on the back of one of the cards but the cache needs a new container and log book. Great spot though and thanks for bringing me here.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I am confident that this one has been muggled. My GPS read 1m at a spot at the end of a cacher trail that perfectly matched the clue I found a pen and a short distance away was 2 ziplock bags and some random items which could have been swag. Perhaps and check and replace would be in order? Great location though and I loved the goat.

Theres another close by... keep your eyes peeled

Awesome view! Kids had a blast ... Still cold keep eyes peeled .... There is another close by ...

Lovely to meet you nanny goat , and Thankyou for another astounding view , my 7 year old boy Linken said it was " just sooo beautiful " Cooma ... I'm so sorry , I simply just can't handle your freezingness!!!! Lol , back home to the coast for this frosty family today , Thankyou Cooma for another amazing geocaching holiday

Fantastic place to explore and a neat hiding spot Thanks!

A took a path best traversed by goats... we discovered the easy path after we found the cache. thanks for the cache - A great view. Andrew, Maryan and Lucy

Just moved to Cooma from South Australia. No better way to discover the region by grabbing a few caches. TNLN. TFTC.

The weekend was here! And what better way to spend it than to escape Canberra and head off for a coastal geomission?!

Swung by this one on the way. Drove up to the lookout where I noticed a muggle couple posing with the sculpture taking photos. Luckily for me GZ was well away out of their sight so that made coming up with the find nice and easy!

Thanks for the hide, the_a-team

Tftc gps was very bouncy but found due to helpful hint

On an afternoon walk. Found quickly. A nice spot with good views over Cooma.TFTC. Took nothing.

Replaced the camo, it's a bit more hidden now. TFTC!

Tftc.

Easy find with JetFuselage. Nothing like caching while being serenaded with magpie song . Lovely spot I never knew existed! TFTC

Found today on our way home, TFTC

Got a flat battery on the way home from Eden so I decided to burn some time before the NRMA came along. Trudging through the rain and through a couple of barbed fences I was able to retrieve the cache. TFTC

Found on our way home from the Mega in Qld, This cache was in a good little hiding place. Misschief18 And I just had our little fingers on the cache when we hear a mans voice !!!! Ummm stand still and wait like 2 naughty kids , then a man and his dog walks by and thankfully keeps walking, wonder what he thought we were up to ???Travelling with misschief18, taurus 1955 and Bentley the geodog TB
TFTC

Found with taurus1955 and B/dale Bandits. An easy find. Loved the views from up here. There we were, in the bush, and we had just retrieved the cache container when we heard a man's voice. He was talking to his dog. They walked by on the path. Hopefully we were undetected. Took the TB. TFTC

Day 5 and the final day (hopefully) of our return trip to our home base after the Easter weekend at the Qld Mega in Stanthorpe. This cache was a very quick and easy find. Didn't get to pet the goat this time, maybe next time? Found with misschief18, B/dale Bandits and Bentley TB

This is the sort of cache we love. A super nice spot we would never have found. Loved the nanny goat. Dropped a tb. TFTC

Found with the geofamily. TFTC.

Love this kind of cache as it brings you to a place you'd normally pass by. An easy find at spot on coords. Thanks for bringing us to this viewpoint of Cooma.

Loved the view of Cooma. Even after coming this way for years I've not seen it from this perspective before.

I'm such a mountain goat that I could pass this one up. Gave the goat a little pat and then found the cache.

Found!!!

Omg! What an amazing view!!!

Geokiddies be careful there was a fair bit of glass on the way here!!!

Over in Cooma from Perth visiting my Nanna for her 80th birthday. I used to come up here as a child when we visited and was very glad to see someone had placed a cache here. Beautiful early morning walk with the sun coming up.

Some great views of the area and an easy find.
Thanks.

Tftc walked straight past it to begin with after back tracking a few steps was a nice quick easy find.

Great view. Met other Geocachers. Good idea for a cache. Greetings from Germany

Muggled a couple of German cachers who found the cache just as we arrived on scene. Cache found all in good condition.

Lovely view over the town TFTC

In Cooma for a family event so good time to pick up a few caches. TFTC

We found a few caches in Cooma today. Nice town that we had not spent any time in before. TFTC

Its not the first tree with broken galss but a good adventure

Nice one

First cache in cooma, easy nice one!

Great look out and view over Cooma

Thanks for bringing TaurusSix and I here

Our first Cooma cache, great spot, TFTC

Never knew about this lookout. TFTC.

Tftc easy find

I have never acually been up here so this was a little tricky to find at first but we managed.

Been to Cooma several times but wasn't aware of this lookout. Great location. TFTC.

So, I was feeling a little restless today and decided a solo caching mini mission was in order. I decided to take the GeoCommo for its final caching mission hurrah as its being traded in on Thursday for a replacement Geomobile. Cooma was the target for today, and some caches along the journey.

Absolutely love the goat structure here I took a pict and sent it to a fellow cacher who loves goats lol. Didn't take very long to find the cache at this one so signed and replaced and then headed off towards my next cache.

Thanks for the cache placement the A-team

Easy find, no pen

Great cache unfortunately didn't bring a pen

Tftc

Crazeecat and I have a new geomobile, so we decided to head down the Monaro Highway from Canberra to Cooma, caching as we went.

We have been down this way many times, but have not stopped - mainly because we wanted to get to where we were going.

I had no idea this lookout existed.

Thanks a-team for the cache.

Good hide

Nice hide, scenic.
