Logs
Numerous DNF's over the past seven months since the last find as well as requests for the owner to undertake maintenance.
However, it does not appear that anyone has requested that the cahce be archived.
As the cache is on a major highway and likely to be visited by cachers travelling through in either direction, I would like to suggest the cache be archived if the owner is not prepared to maintain the cache.
Apologies if I have offended anyone for making this recommendation.

Sorry to all the cachers that have Looked for this Cache as I had Intended to Disable This Cache But with every thing going on in my life it has been forgotten and with other Priority's I had not kept up with every thing.[v]
Agree with the previous cachers. It ain't there. Found the odd bit of toilet paper which always makes you hesitant to poke around. Luckily there were enough sticks around to check the area over.
Anyhow, still pleased we came and visited Pluto lo learn a bit more about the solar system from the sign.

This one is definitely missing. My GPS even got down to zero feet, and we searched everywhere based on the clue.
Having now read the past logs, I'm confident it's gone.

Was in the area so had a look for this one with HooloovooUK. Couldn't find it after searching where the hint points to and others have tried.
Couldn't find this one even after extensive search. The only one in the series by Bluedog we did not find .
This one is definitely gone - took a pic of the sign and will upload when i get home from holiday.
Hey Pat, this one may be missing. There was an area at the base of the tree nearest the fence that might have been the original cache hiding spot
After a rustle around in what I think is the area, I found a place that may hide this type of cache, it was an empty hollow on the back if the tree closest the fence, it apppears to be missing.
Oh and remember that this is a 50Kph area and not 60, I was doing 62 after I did a uturn heading back into town and an undercover muggle with flashy lights on his car decided I was a nuisance and gave me a ticket
All in all a very unhappy Bezerker for this one

We enjoyed this series. However this cache proved too elusive for us. Never mind, maybe next time we pass through the area we will try again.
The girls tracked this one down on our way North. Only seen one other of these signs before.

Found at 10.15 am GAFF1. The wind was finaly behind us because we were effortlessly travelling along the Newell. Fuel consumption is still dismall, but then we are about 5 tonnes on the road!
Thanks Postman Pat.
Thanks Postman Pat.
Pt. Douglas Trip 09.2. After working out that I mixed up the co-ords, I figured out which one I was looking for. The rain was back, so it was quick dash. I liked the look of the stuff over the fence. Thanks.

Found this one quite quickly after a day at AgQuip, as had the muggle that found it before me, to quote his log, "Found this while having a leak on it" I signed the log and then found somewhere to wash my hands.
Thanks Postman Pat for another cache in the series.

I love pipe caches - always in good condition and dry inside. Easy find with the geokids and left Moose Moose TB who had travelled with us since Warialda. Thanks Postman Pat.
This was our first experience of the virtual solar system an it was very impressive.
Thanks for this one it was a nice easy find. TNLN Thanks

Good spot for a cache, had to watch out for nearby workers in the construction area but with the help of 'Gowza', we found it with ease TFTC
88 - 'BGowza' was all over this one! I was quite fascinated by the scale model solar system... I didn't even know it existed! Thanks for the enlightenment! TFTC
Found at 0915Hrs. This is the first of the "Virtual Solar System" caches I have found. Its an interesting idea. Thanks Postman Pat.
Found it quite easily gps spot on i will have to list this one on a technicality as my very first FTF first in logbook after being replaced
due to commitments i've yet to get to this cache and check it out will do so asap
Looked in the tree I was directed to.
Tried all the obvious places I could find to hide a length of 90mm downpipe.
After all of that, I still came up empty.
Maybe next time, whenever that happens to be!

I found Neptune easy enough. Something that big is hard to miss
Not much luck with the cache though
I found a largish bit of pine bark behind the 'toilet tree' but no cache under it [:o]
So wandered off to have a look at the old boilers nearby

Deja Vu thought I just did this one

A large one for a change and no muggles to speak of made this easy. Thanks again for the series.
Fourteenth for the day and cache two hundred and sixty-five on day ten of our Brisvegas trip, the cache was found at 1855 in the company of chewinprickles on our way home. I was sure we must have rockets on the car as we were visiting that many planets. Thanks Bluedog and Postman pat for the cache.
Another of these planets found, I like these caches - very informative. - My, this one is a LONG way out from the sun!
XC on another trip to Australia on business from NZ.. This time to Gunnedah.. After a day with client I decided to stretch my legs by hunting a couple... Parked rental nearby and found this one easily after reading up the science. Nice placement. Took to table nearby and signed log and dropped in All Aussie Adventurer TB to continue journey.
Replaced cache as found.

Thanks.

Found on our way back home from Goolwa, SA. Our second planet for the day! Was still trying to get the co-ord's happening on the GPS and geohubby came back with the cache! So it must have been fairly easy.
Thanks for another great cache.
Took polarity magnets and ceramic pig (it would make a nice travel bug that piggy! - maybe one day)
Left citrus peeler and surfing mini magazine.

A quick easy find with lillanan still in tow. Great facts and a great travelling and scientific idea. There was a couple of muggles around but they were none the wiser with what we were up to.
Took - Winter TB & LED keyring

Driving through to Goondiwindi and stopped here on the way. It was absolutely bucketing down with rain so none of the family came to help find this cache. And then they decided to drive off without me...Very funny! They came back though, and I found the cache so a worthwhile stop.
Left Back to Gilwell TB,
best wishes,

Nice easy find, didn't know this existed. Thanks for the cache. Took nothing, left nothing.
Nice quick find - another spot to let the geodogs stretch their legs. Found at 6.30pm so we drove straight to GZ without any worries.
Apart from the benefit of finding the cache, I also discovered the road to Tamworth. Nothing taken as contents well & truely jammed in, left a little piggy.
We found our 2nd Postman Pat cache at 5:10pm as the final of 16 on our Northern Stripe across NSW trip. Yet another top cache and our 72nd 2nd to find. As we are booked in at Armidale for the night we made this our last cache for the day as we were on a mission to catch the series final of Doctor Who. For the record, we turned on the telly with a minute to spare. The last few caches we completed for the day were all apt along this theme. Thanks for the cache from D,H,H & A B-A.
Wow another FTF for the Routers, TN L stamps, great series, great container. Thanks for bringing us here........
