No response from owner. 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.

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.

The same result as the last few cachers. Owner has not responded to maintenance request so time for this one to go.

No response to multiple DNFs & maintenance request. CO doesn't appear to be an active cacher any more.

I have has this one on my to do list for some time as my friend has a property out here on the Duea river. Disapointing when people don't maintain properly. I could also only see remanants.

did not find. think it has been tampered with as a container was laying around. hope it gets looked at soon.

Not looking too good. Found a flat container and pencil on the ground.

guess were all kids at heart, so I thought I'd give this one a go. Worked out the code and headed off, the walk to GZ I saw some lovely water birds etc. Got to cache location and no sizn of cache, seen not too far a container so I can only conclude this cache has suffered a fatality . It was however a lovely walk. Thanks for bringing me here.

It is a great kids cache in deed. Nice counting on the playground and then a nice maybe 500m stroll to get to the GZ. Unfortunately at the moment the cache is wet and the log book is also socked in water. TFTC. We appreciate the special geo kids caches they are great fun for the kids.

Contents and log a bit too soggy. Cache was in full view.

Stopped here for a quick play with the girls on our way through town. They gave lots of help counting the clues, though I didn't fully rely on their answers! At GZ the cache was in full view. Covered it up when finished. TFTC

Had to get a new navigator as our fourteen year old one sent us on a wild goose chase.
Thanks Team Maxi

We did this one in the pouring rain. I stuffed up on the calc on the first try but once my mstak was spotted we were soon at gz ith cache in hand. TFTC!

Our first Multi Cache. Myself and the kids had heaps of fun doing this one. On a caching day with Grim Jeeper. Cache belongings are all wet. Didnt have a spare notepad on me to change it. Still able to write on the notepad though. Thanks heaps Team Maxi.
Took Mr Strong
Left Maze game

Geokids enjoyed doing this one while we were spending some time at the skatepark. TFTC

First find of 11 today. We got most of the required info the night before, and came back to count the bridge. Once we had the co-ords, heading off to walk to cache. It has to be said, that if you are doing this and there is a lot of dew about, roll up your pants or you'll end up soaked as we did. Found the cache with out too much trouble, but its quite damp, and looks like it could use some attention.

Travel Red Racer Visted
Why oh Why GC visited as well.

Had to kill some time while Ultimate did some work on our camper so thought we would try the local caches. It was initially crawling with small kids & young mums. We came back at lunch time to find the last ones leaving & we ate our lunch in the shelter giving us ample opportunity to check the clues. 2 big kids enjoyed the cache. Container & contents in good condition. TFTC

10.56 2 Council workers hovering, but showed no interest. Even us Greys enjoyed this cache TNLN TFTC

WET
As we did not have the grandchildren with us this visit, we left it until early evening to venture into the playground to get the numbers we required, then it was off on a nice evening walk. The cache was in hand quickly, but unfortunately the contents including he log book are very wet...TFTC

Clever cache for the geokids. TNLNSL. TFTC

Nice easy multi
now heading to Merimbula
TFTC

found no problem added to the kiddie kit....thank you

Found without too much trouble as the recent heavy rains had washed some of the "cover" off it.
Contents quite water logged, so have taken it home to dry out. Will replace it later today or tomorrow morning.
TNLN

A fun little trip, herd rusting in the long grass so keep your eyes open. Dropped path tag as we like kid friendly multi's. TFTC

Ps I would replace the log book as it is to wet to sign.

Geo kids had great fun, took rubbers, left ball, marbles and necklace. By way the very wet log

This was the most enjoyable cache for the day. Done completely by my 7 yr old geo-daughter, who enjoyed every bit of the hunt. T camera & Inuksuk GC L Horse. Thanks for a beautifully executed kids cache.

2749 - During a bad week Sol and I escaped down to the Coast for the day for him to sort out a problem...

My first find for the day - I like Multis like this. Collected the info and then the cache was soon in hand.

TN Left GC - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Coin Drop...

Ace7 and I were down in Moruya for a relatives 80th Birthday Party at the Bowling Club and So we completed this one between Mains and Dessert. Had a lot of fun taking Ace7 over to the playground and gathering the info. Ace7 then calculated GZ and after a little play with his cousins we were off to find the prize.
The Cache was uncovered and the log is very damp (as previous cachers noted). We signed the log and replaced as per the clue. TFTC

Completed with my Dad (Toadmiester7). We went to the playground after our main meals at my Great Aunties 80th Birthday Party and took my cousins as well. After gathering the info and a short play on the equipment ( I love the spinning thing) we headed to GZ. It was out of its hiding spot and the lid was off. We signed the log and replaced it where we though it should go. Thanks for a cool cache and the playground. TFTC

The lid was has been off this cache and it was full of water when we found it. We did our best to dry things out but suggest the owners visit to do a proper job of it.

Had an enjoyable time with finding this cache with the kids on our holiday to the south coast. Unfortunately the lid was off the cache when we found it and it was full of water. Spent a bit of time drying everything out before adding a few goodies.

Mini muggle central today. Crystal Warrior found the numbers and I tried to look like I belonged. Then a few quick calcs and off to the cache. Sweet!

Kiddy central today but managed to get all the clues without too much trouble, then off for an easy find.

Cache run on the way from Auckland to the Megga Event in Wagga. Enjoyable multi while passing through T4TC.

Well kids may be able to do the sums for this cache, but as usual "If" stuffed up the math
I do that a lot with multi-caches

After gathering the answers I wandered off and found meself in a swamp [:o]
That was about the time that I decided to reread the notes and redo the calculations

Only 200 something metres out.

Avoiding further mud, I found a new place to have a look which seemed a lot more likely to contain one of the rare "South Coast Regular Caches"
A quick poke around and there it was in all it's regular sized glory [^]

TFTC and stroll around the swampy park

A nice easy multi cache, only problem the humidity was bad, made it like a 5km walk. A great kids playground but we felt we were being watched through a window from the house across the road.
TFTC / TFTH / SL

Good spot for the kids to exercise first , run around the park then find the cache.
I just did the cach & rested.
TNLN. TFTC.

found it

When we first spotted WP1 it was Monday night and the whole area was covered in water so we headed out to do our job of helping the local SES. Today the water had resided and after getting the required info we were soon getting our hands on GZ.
Thanks

The playground was deserted this morning so we hoped we could find the cache unobserved. We need not have worried as the cache was some distance off out of sight. Thanks Team Maxi.

2nd find for the day. Had a few pondering what we were doing in the playground. Thought we must had an accident and was taking details about the park. Had to explain we were doing a car rally. Arrived at GZ and found cache in full view. Filled in log and put back in place but with plenty of covering. TFTC.

Tristan the Travel Turtle Tag (TTQWTC) has come for a flying visit back in time.

A child and father was playing about at this playground when we collected the answers.
We had a lovely walk over to GZ - wouldn't have been so lovely it was any hotter.
Thanks Team Maxi for the cache.

Arrive fairly early, and guess what... the area was occupied, this time of the morning!
Came back and the area was clear. Seemed that a few of my guesses were wrong, so lucky I checked. Completed all the calculations, and I was off.
A nice little park, and just out of passerby's views.
Thanks, Robmc.

Found today after muggles enjoying the location on the 8th. Chance meeting with Sol de lune. Great to meet a fellow geocacher, my first encounter. Found today after failed attempt at Crazy Ivan (boat motor having trouble starting) Logged and replaced. Found with Mr Duncan (GeoDad). TFTC. Nice hide, thanks team Maxi. Thanks Sol De Lune, I hope we meet again in the future... SAC.

1st attempt at WP1 today and it was full of muggles. Arrived for a 2nd attempt in the afternoon to find someone counting objects and checking a GPS......(or iphone as it turned out.) Turns out Pendlebury was in the area trying to sort it out as well. Good to meet you out in the field. Calculations were completed and we set off towards GZ, only to find a muggle couple sitting around there enjoying the sunshine.

Both Pendlebury and I decided we would come back later and try our luck, and we went our separate ways. I arrived back at 3.15pm and with the area clear, so made a quick find. No Pemdlebury in the log book, so I hope you made it back later in the day.

Thanks to Team Maxi for the hide, and to Pendlebury for the chance meeting.

Found with Pinksmurfette and geo newbies. The kids enjoyed looking for treasure.

On a weekend trip to the coast I decided to introduce the world of caching to a friend and thier kids.
They loved it and were very excited to have found thier very irst cache. Hopefully one of many! TFTC
We swapped some toys for the kids.

My brothers kids loved this one, kept them usy for a while though

TFTC

The grand kids really liked this one i didnot even have to get out of the car, the rock wall had them for a while but they worked it out TNLN TFTC.

Little DragonFoot found this one all by himself. He needed a little help with answering the questions and putting the co-ords in the GPS though.
T: elephant, keyring
L: McD’s toys x3 and a new pencil (old one gone)
TFTC Team Maxi

Did this one early in the morning as we had no kids with us. TFTC

Found with Wahlenbergia. No kids around but a nice early morning walk. TFTC

GeoBoyAged7 loved this one. It was all his, including getting the coords into the gps as we approached town. He guided me to the park, solved the clues, worked out the new coords and directed us to gz. He took a toy soldier and left - ummm, something?? while I attended to the log. Thanks team maxi for an imaginative break and a little exercise during our trip north.

260 (+7=267)

Went to this one the evening before but the park was full of kids and I looked out of place. So went back early this morning. A little contemplation over the planks (they are kind of faded) but I soon had the cache in hand.

Thanks,
Gwen

Geokids worked together like an oiled machine.

Even grown ups can find this one. TNLN
Thanks pelusa

mad fun getting more and more fun...very obvious once at cache site TFTC

fun and easy!

Great little cache and hiding place although i have to admit i looked at the clue which really gave the hiding place away, still good fun though.
4x4Kid

The geokids were looking forward to this one for a hundred km before we arrived and they weren't disappointed. Quickly solved the questions although I nearly counted the wrong rock wall (which contains significnatly more rocks and would have taken some time). That sorted, we had to wait for the kids to tire themselves out on the playground then it was off for an easy find. Thanks Team Maxi.

First Cache, Heaps of fun, Took me a while to work out but in the end found it. TNLN

GOOD SPOT, NICE FIND. TEAM MAXI IS DA BOMB!! TOOK A BIT TO WORK OUT VERY FUN.

Great one for the Geo Kids, should be more like these. Took Mr Burns left Lady Bird and Dragonfly.
TFTFSL

Wasnt sure if we worked out the clues right as i assumed the cache would be in the same park itself, but thought what the hell, go to the co-ords we worked out and what do ya know, FOUND IT!

My 300th. Yippee. Its been a long time since I got 200. 3 years I believe. ((Just had a check. Its actualy 4 years and 1 day. I clamed my 200th on the 29th of August 2004!!!)) That would have to be a record I'm sure! For the slowest 100 that is.......

A nice little distraction while working my way through Moruya. And I guess an appropriate cache for me to. I will bring my 3 month old son here when he's a little older on a visit to the in-laws.

Also should mention that this was a busy area on a Saturday morning. Lots of local ball games being played on the sports fields. Good to see so many active people.

Thanx for the fun.

Having broken our record with 4 finds in a day we were hoping to crack 5 but it was not to be. At 4pm Team Wookus found the place that surely was GZ and poked about in all possible places but could not find the cache.

Solved fairly easily once I managed to recognise the rock wall. A little further away than I expected but quickly found once onsite. TNLNSL, thanks Team Maxi.

Tealby A Team completed this cache while the B Team & Biggles303 had fun playing soccer in the adjacent field. Unfortunately the cache was not big enough for the special toy I had taken to leave for future kids, so I TNLN. TFTC.

4 guys (Gribbly, AH, AB, and me), slightly seedy from a bucks weekend down the coast pull up at a childrens playground. The playground is busy, so a car side conference is conducted. The decision made was to skip the cache this time. Most of us have kids so will return in the future with offspring to act as decoys!
cheers,
Wal

This cache is a very easy and simple multi and was really enjoyable to do. Geopups enjoyed their walk to GZ where we found the cache really easily.

Easy cache. Counted all the bricks in the wall around the first WP before we relased the maths did not work. FYI there are 256 bricks.

Our first ever find! The kids loved it, did the swap thing and then off we went to find some more in the Moruya area.

What a way to spend a beautiful autumn morning. Thank you very much for your efforts as it is much appreciated.

I actually had the kids with me for this one, they got all the required information, did the maths, then walked off to find the cache. TNLNSL TFTC. A welcome diversion on an otherwise dreary Easter Saturday morning

Rated: for Overall Experience

Out and about today so decided to drop in and check on the cache, all looks good thanks to whoever put the cache in a ziplock bag, I guess the lid must have been hard to reseal?

A fun quick cache on the way home. geokid2 did the math. took us straight there. T-Bouncy ball, L-Montyburns. TFTC

Found at 1300, lots of small muggles at W/P 1 but no problem getting the answers.

Nice and easy, except for the fact that there were numerous kiddie muggles at the first location! Once off to GZ, it was easy going! TNLN but took coin, thanks Team Maxi.

We agree on the lack of caches with swaps. Well done, the kids appreciated the find.
Good clues with the kids doing the work for a change.
TOOK:- TB Going North, Soccer Ball
LEFT:- $100 note, bouncy ball plus "Kapiteintjes Dutch 2006 Bronze GeoCoin"

A quick visit today to swap out a couple of travellers...

Thanks!

Nice one! Goekid age 6 loved being able to get all the numbers that we needed for this one and had a quick run around too. TFTC. Swapped bob for a croc. Left TB The Bush Banshee.

a nice afternoon stroll to tick off a few caches while having a weekend away.My nephews would have liked this one.

The play park was way too busy today for a close look. I could count most from the car, but had to guess A. Despite this I found it OK. Thanks.

Enjoyed this little puzzle then the walk to GZ. Left little army man and little native man. TFTC.

Don't worry McPhan, you should have seen the looks when three 6 foot six guys found it the day I did!!!

628. Big M McPhanKid and I wandered around getting the required information while being questioned by a legion of ankle-biters about why we were there and what we were doing. Mum kept a very close on on us form her people mover and was visibly relieved when we moved off to claim the cache.

TFTC and the fun.

Rated: for Overall Experience

unfortunately only us big kids to enjoy this one. Took a fisherman and left a puppet for the next kid that comes along.

Geokid and Mrs Furter took off after this one. Nice quick find once we were on the right side. T: Geocoin.
Thanks for the cache.

Just pretended to be a big kid and did this nice easy cache, got the clues and found GZ with ease, TNLN, Thanks Team Maxi

Oh what a wonderful afternoons caching we had. The kids got to run around finding caches that were full of goodies for them to swap. It certainly makes for a fun day of family caching. Thanks guys.
Left Geo-coin- robins Reward. Can't remeber what the kids got because they changed their mind so often LOL.

Found this one with Big mick on our way back up the coast, and even ran into big Matt as we were heading back to the cars. Easy find and a nice walk to break up the drive. TNLN.

Dropped in today on the way out to place a few caches. We dropped into the Red Rose and grabbed the best burger in town, we were sitting in the carpark next to this one watching the boxer running around commenting on how we should have brought ours along...It turned out to be YoungGregB & Bigmickb. We have a quick catch up and provided them with the updated co-ords for the TB motel in the bay then it was on our way.

It was quite a simple find at the GZ once the local muggles decided to move on. Thanks Maxi's for a great first cache, keep up the great work.

I'm glad I attempted this with YoungGregB. The batteries died on the Garmin just as I was plugging the final coords in. Sure I could've just placed new batteries in, but it was easier to use Greg's Garmin. Cache was found in good condition and without trauma. Took a wavefinder TB. A special thanks to Big Matt who caught us returning to the carpark and who helped us with the extra hint needed for another nearby cache. Great to catch up with another cacher again!

Great cache for kids, not that I've got any (yet ) but I can see how this could be a great place for family caching, after working out the sums I found the cache straight away, also found a heap of farmer's friends at GZ too! [:(!]

TNLTB Thanks Maxi's!

YeeHaa FTF! And a new PB (although far from a WR I'm sure) at 1 hour 20 minutes after it was published! I saw the new cache notification come in and thought "Why not..." so jumped in the geomobile and headed for WP1.

It didn't take me long to gather the required info although I'm sure anyone watching would have thought it at least a little strange to see a grown man climbing around a kid's playground by torchlight at 11pm? Nothing that would deter a real geocacher anyway! Back to the car to do the sums and with the final coords entered into the trusty Garmin I set out for GZ.

I must confess to decrypting the hidden hint too although I probably could have found the cache quite easily without it, I just didn't want to hang around too long for fear of being reported as a prowler or something equally difficult to explain my way out of? [:p]

TNLNSL Thanks Team Maxi!
