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.

Buggered if I'd know either
 
08-Feb-10
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.
 
08-Feb-10
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.
 
23-Jan-10
Couldn't find this one even after extensive search. The only one in the series by Bluedog we did not find Sad.
 
09-Jan-10
Think we found where it used to be.........
 
26-Dec-09
This one is definitely gone - took a pic of the sign and will upload when i get home from holiday.
 
13-Dec-09
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
 
12-Dec-09
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 Sad

All in all a very unhappy Bezerker for this one
 
09-Dec-09
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.
 
11-Oct-09
The girls tracked this one down on our way North. Only seen one other of these signs before.

found on our return trip to qld after spending a few weeks in Adelaide! TFTC

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.

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.

Geowife was still laughing long after reading the previous logs.
Thanks Bluedog / Postman Pat

2704.

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.

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
 
14-Jul-09
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
 
25-Jun-09

30-Sep-08
Given the last 3 logs are DNF I've disabled this cache (:I)

 
27-Sep-08
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!
 
10-Sep-08
I found Neptune easy enough. Something that big is hard to miss Smile
Not much luck with the cache though Sad
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 Smile
 
07-Sep-08
looked in the obvious place but to no avail maybe next time we come down this way we will have better luck.

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.
 
30-May-08
Another of these planets found, I like these caches - very informative. - My, this one is a LONG way out from the sun!
 
07-Apr-08

27-Feb-08
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.

Took orange peeler and left a whistle.
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

Another find in the solar system series for us. As with the previous ones we really enjoyed it.

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 quick find - another spot to let the geodogs stretch their legs. Found at 6.30pm so we drove straight to GZ without any worries.

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.
