Good Day,
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 a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.
Looking forward to hearing from you,

Wednesday. Slow Puncture was out and about today with Just a Trifle. No luck today for Mrs S. P. and Mrs J.A.T. We spent ages looking under what seemed like every rock. Found some animal trails and, apart from the numerous rocks lying around, found ourselves in grass that was head high. Hopefully this cache is still here.
This was the only DNF we had on this trip.
Thanks ***JJ_FJ_JJ***, for showing us this place anyway, hopefully we will be back!

The cache is up there my GPS said and so I followed through the very long grass and prickles. Thinking how this was indeed a rough track. At the top is was apparent there was a proper track. Lots of places to hide a cache and I did not find it but enjoyed the view. On the way back down the real track, as I exited I noticed the gate has been locked with a chemical warning sign on there. Owner might want to check this out and assess. Thx for the puzzle!
Unfortunately had no luck with this one. Had the clue worked out with no doubt to the answer, and found a rough track to the spot - but couldn't locate it. Will try again in the near future, hopefully with more than one pair of eyes and more time. Thanks!
Day six of my 2015 mammoth caching holiday. left Nanango at 4am on Monday 77th September via Condamine, Roma, Augathella, Longreachh, Barcaldine, Emerald, Rokhampton and now overnighting in Moura. So far I have driven just over 2000klm and todays trip was small at 287Klm. Found 22 today including this one and a few bush walks and a few multi's as well.
Worked this one before I left homed. Arrived at GZ and took some looking. TFTC LL + KT

It was a long time ago I solved this one. Morse without the normal spaces always has it's challenges but with a little brainpower and logic (and maybe a little experience with morse) I had this one bowled over pretty soon. The co-ords then sat saved away waiting for me to be out this way and find the cache.
And that was to be today. The fourth in the series for me and followed the roads marked on the GPS as far as I could, then it was two feet and a heartbeat for myself and Dad, who came along to check things out. I had a squizz at the plaque of the way through before heading to GZ. The GPSr bounced around a bit, but eventually settled and I headed into the long grass for a quick find. On such a hot day, the breeze rolling up the hill was most welcome. Added my name to the log and recorded the hint for the bonus at the end. TFTC JJ + KT a fun puzzle and great spot for the cache

Couldn't workout the Morse Code since no spaces between letters but conveniently girl4god20 helped out by giving us the coordinates. Happy to pass them on if someone needs them or maybe if someone that has worked out the Morse could put the answer in the spoiler photos.
Tough one - retrieved the travel bug stuck here for 6 months. Also took mini first aid kit. Left bucket loads of stickers and a Tissue holder from Thailand. Our gps coordinates were significantly off today so spent a long time looking. It's nice finding "old caches" that haven't been found for a while. Never knew about the Air Ace even though lived here many years. Great cache!!
Worked this out the best we could and sailed in on a wing and a prayer. Yes, got it Left a TB. TFTC
signed log 5pm, , after working out the Morse - this one made my hair a bit greyer, but I learn't alot, collected a TB on the way, and some exercise, TFTC- JJ + KT
Did my homework. Enjoyed the puzzle. Spot on - I arrived within 2 meters of the cache. TFTC. Dropped in TB A sense of Canada.
Just a note to let a cemetery bound TB record it stop near a cemetary cache. I couldn't find Morgan's - Harrisia which starts in a cemetary and one of the clues is obtained from an angel with a broken wing, so this cache overlooks the cemetary and is part of the same series.
Two logs in a fortnight. Previous log gave me food for thought, so ignored GPRs and followed my nose. Thanks for the puzzle. Strange how the monument is fenced off, strange place for a monument really. TFTC
" Where have all the cachers been, long time passing." (15 months since the last find. After "Rocking around the GPS GZ "I said where would I hide a cache? Looked at a few possibles and then there it was.Grabbed the Kittyhawk TB to move on .It's been here too long.TFTC
No luck with this one. Steve decoded the coordinates, and we set of to GZ. We passed a monument that gave us some hope. We seemed to be in the right area at least.
Looking for the cache was a little like trying to find a needle in a haystack. There were dozens of potential hidey holes to check. We searched for about half an hour before Steve cut his foot on some broken glass. Probably not the best place to be in thongs [:o)]
In the end, we decided to give it away and move on.
Thanks for the fun!

The first of the Morgan caches done and in the very pleasant company of the Dooghan family. We had done our homework on this one last night so were fully prepared. Bit of a search and the cache was found. TNLN. Thanks JJ + KT.
Our third cache and we undoubtly thought that this was to be a Maski FTF as I had sat up the previous night with dots and dashes going everywhere and I had the solution
Everyone must have done the same exercise as many had trodden the path before us [:(!]
TNLNSL TFTC Sorry I took an old bucket we found near the site and I enjoyed the history of this cache

finally after 2 hours almost the day before working out the clue I was all set. 6th cache found for the day at the Mt Morgan BBQ Event at 3:15pm. Bugger, bundyrumandcoke beat us to it. Logged the find, and got the clue. We tried blocking bundyrumandcoke from getting past while leaving the cache, but wore his dust instead hahaha. Fun cache...

2nd to find! Always 2nd!!! Spent a fair while the night before working this one out! Took a while again to find it... Our eyes are not as well trained as Map Monkeys (600+ finds) but we got there! TFTC Took TB
2nd and final cache of the day ...
After the lunch tackled this one with Map Monkey, after looking at the GZ for 'Long Wait' and going - nah...
Nice little stroll with another view over Mt Morgan, Map Monkey lost the bet on the attached clue - and I know that he hates being wrong !!!

Thanks again

With time running out to find all the days caches, I again cheated and bought the answer to the puzzle. Heading to the cache location, I found the road blocked by some familure vehicles, and a gate. I tried for another way in, but had to return to this one. Bypasing the vehicle queue, which by this time had grown, and the gate, I rode up to the top of this location, passing StyleCamper on the way. At the top, I found NellieHope, Ausbettsee, and Coowonga searching far and wide for the cache. This was the cache that provided the comic relief for the day. I walked straight to the cache, in spite of cries of dirision from those who had been searching for goodness knows how long. With StyleCamper arriving on the scene, it became a gimme for about 4 teams.

Once at GZ, the cache location was somewhat obvious to the well-trained eye.
Another piece of history which i would never have guessed was here. Whilst discussing the clue for the final cache, i even guessed the wrong answer to this clue. Who would have thought. Wow.
Thanks for the cache location and the great views over the town. Found as part of our great day out at the Mount Morgan Event.
