One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache within 7 days, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 7 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am 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 28 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.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

This cache has had two needs maintenance requests (one in May and one in June) saying that the cache has disappeared due to logging activity. Today, we were passing, so also checked. The cache is definitely no longer here and the CO has not been active for several years.

Area has been logged not sure if it is even still there

Maybe this should be a Needs Archived log.

Attached is a photo confirming previous logs that GZ at this location has been completely wiped out by loggers. Over two months now

Not a great way to start the day, but that's how it goes CO needs to confirm its still here please

Not a great way to start the day, but that's how it goes with so much logging CO needs to confirm its still here please

There has been logging done here we think it might have been destroyed or covered over with lots of debris. The work has taken place directly over where the cache was logged.

Found with caz17. It was very peaceful in the forest on the weekend. Maybe not during the week.

Found with kcsfinch on a hot, humid Sunday drive. What an interesting area with all the logging happening. Finally found with the aid of manic wombats updated co-ords via the logs. Perhaps the CO should update it in the entry. TFTC

I was having no luck here and was beginning to think the very nearby logging might have done for this one. I read the logs and noticed the cache had been relocated to avoid destruction. I plugged in the new numbers and went around to the new GZ. Had the find a few minutes later. I'll post the numbers the Garmin gave me with this log for reference. TFTC

It has taken a week to get time to sit down and log and a week of

"Hello Mudder,
Hello Fadder
Here I am at
Camp Granda......"

In my head, all.....damn......week.

This was a trip out from Esk on a road that we had never been before and am glad we have now seen. A quick stop and I took some photos leaving geo-hubby and geo-hound to go for the search. A little bit of trouble with the GPS, but common sense prevailed and we have a name in the log book.

Cache was all good. Thanks for the song...oops I mean cache.

A lot of logging going on here with a big pile ready to be collected.
Walked in the gate and down the path, and started looking, it was then that we decided to check previous logs and found that the co-ords were incorrect -- suggest CO change the cache co-ords to that of bulfrogi, as this is where we found the cache

thanks for the cache

found in the company of an old hag

Day two of our crazy driving adventure to fill in the gaps needed in distances needed for the Well Travelled Cacher challenge cache. 1400kms in two days- only 500kms today!

Lots of logging. Take note of previous finders new coords . This was my last find before returning home to Toowoomba. Tftc

Due to recent logging activity in the area the original hide location has be destroyed relocated cache to s027 18.944' e152 15.257' this is se from the original location TFTC TNTL

Out and about with the geokid on a beautiful winters day. A great all round caching day with an oldie, a couple of tree logs, a beautiful view, a decent walk, a puzzle, a massive spider guarding a cache and to finish the day off a tree climb!

The GPS had us going around in circles so we started searching in all the likely spots. It took us a few minutes but we got it. TFTC THENANKS

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

TFTC

On our way to Toowoomba today with a few stops for caches along the way.
Quite a few mountain bikers here when we pulled up but they headed off in the opposite direction to the way we were heading thankfully.
Cache is well hidden. Took us a while to find but we found it.
Thanks TheNanks

Located this cache despite the loud attentions of a couple of local dogs. All snug and dry. Tftc

Found by Sunshine Toledo, Her Majesty and Tiberlich at 10:30am. We walked the track in and found the cache quite quickly. The cache is in good condition. TFTC

Loki picked the not terrain 1.5 route in but of course, soon met up with the path . We were the only visitors at the "camp" site today. Took the easy way back out . Thanks THENANKS

Got as far as the shed when the phone signal cut out had to forfeit as had no idea where to go booooo oh well

Excellent Cache

drove in & went for a walk ..Left beads took dino ...good walk,,& easy find ta TFTC

Found this while on our way to Stanthorpe for the weekend. What a lovely spot. Ticks seemed to like Mr Parko after finding this one. Thanks for the hunt THENANKS

On our way to Toowoomba for an event, so we stopped by to view this cache.
Did not take long to walk down the track to GZ.
After a little search in lots of possible places we found it.
Log dry. TNLNSL TFTC Thanks THENANKS, Wingnut and Leigh

Found on the way to Toowoomba's Gathering on sunday
I have been here before, In the late 70's and early 80's I worked for Ransome Equip, John Deere Industrial Equip Dealer (the Company closed in the mid 80's) , and often visited Camp Granada to repair Timber Skidders and other logging equipment.
I could be wrong, but I thought the camp was large enough to boast a primary school. I do remember quite a large settlement.
Cache is OK
TFTC The Nanks

Just had enough time to stop and grab this before an MTBO race nearby

Almost gave up, GPS was playing up heaps. My partner persisted and we found the prize.
Signed log and replaced, TFTC.
After logging this find we noticed the was a travel bug left just yesterday. My partner had picked it up and noted it was her star sign. After we realised what we found we headed back out, this time it was dark very dark and we did have alot of trouble relocating the cache.
Took the TB, our first travel bug!

Spent the weekend in Crows Nest and decided to grab some caches on the way up and back. Parked as close as we could to GZ and then walked to find the cache in good condition and had already been found today. Busy place.

Hello from Sweden

On our way to Dad's Wedding tomorrow, my brother "Brother Colin" och I decided to do some caching, turning a 4 hours trip into 9 hours [:o)] it was worth it.

Thanks for the Cache

On my north for a few days with my sister, doscrapbooking.
We parked the car nearby and walked the last 100m.
After a little poking around we found it tucked away.
Thanks for the cache. It is in good condition.
Left a TB as well.

Easy find, really keen to come back here and have a proper look around. TFTC

Found on the way back from Esk, thanks for giving us the excuse to pull over. We took the Dog Tag TB.

Great spot! Stopped in for this one quickly on the way home. Might have to come back sometime and have a better explore. Log book is a little damp despite being in 2 snap lock bags and a sistema container, but otherwise the cache is in great condition. Left a 'St Christopher' TB for the next traveller in need of some fortune. TFTC THENANKS.

Wow.....nice middle of nowhere...hide and camp for sure tfth

A little bit of the beaten track ,but still found it without any problems .It was in 3 plastic bags ,but still a bit damp .

Well I got the approach for this one all wrong. Was a case of "not being able to see the paths". I finally sorted out where GZ was and started the hunt. I came up with it after widening my search. The cache is in good condition. A very beautiful area in here indeed. Looks like someone has been camping nearby! TFTC

Ah, another place that we feel we could do a camp over. SL TNLN TFTC

Found Ok

Found this one with muddtrax after a little bit of a hunt. Sometimes its good to use all the features on the GPS to find the hide. TFTC TNLN SL

Found this one with Krossbo on our way to Forest Challenge 5 at Jimna. Got wet shoes trekking to GZ We looked and looked and looked some more and couldn't find it I hadn't walked here to get wet feet and find no cache [B)] Checked where we had walked on the GPS and guess what . . . I had walked all around where the drop pin said the treasure should be Next thing I looked down and bingo . . . I had the treasure. Cache was dry and in good nic. Took Metal Tin ~ Left Metal Bookmark. TFTC!!

Love this bush walk and nice diversion from the road. TFTC

Found at 0943 with Marg. Nice bit of forrest park luckly we didn't have to walk to far into it, but Marg may have a different opinion. Cache OK abd dry. TFTC.

Found this cache at 2:15pm travelling across to the east from Gioondawindi (After being there for Easter for a vintage car rally) Nearly missed the turn in drove down a little bit with 4WD to the gate. walked in easy find.
Thanks The Nanks and friends for the hide.
The Bushies.

Tree cover had me looking everywhere.
T: TB.
James and Patt

A nice short walk from the road - dropped off a TB.

Found on the way to Crows Nest. Nobody in Camp Grenada today so it was an easy walk down to find the cache - thanks.

Found on the TiedyeSmileys Adelaide NSW QLD trip away.

After the geopup was cooped up in the car while we did the Craven Raven cache, this was a good opportunity to stretch his legs and let him run wild for a bit.
TFTC

Ahh nothing like going off road in the Geojero to find tupperware in the woods!

Stopped at the gate and the Geobrats had the prize in hand before you could say park ranger!

TFTC!

On our way to test our perseverence, ruzzelz and I found ourselves with a few minutes to fill in.
"Quick turn on the GPS !! " we yelled in unison [:o]
A few anxious seconds later a cache symbol leapt onto the screen just a couple of kilometres ahead on the side of the road
Cor talk about jammy

We quickly abandoned the car and scurried across the 'campground' in the direction of the arrow.
Just a few metres into the forest we saw the hiding place.
After searching the stump for a minute or so we turned our attention to other hiding places

"Hello mudder,
Hello father,
Where's this cache,
Called Camp Granada?

It was very entertaining,
but now I am aftraid that it's not raining !!"

I celebrated the find with a delicious fruit scone for breakfast
TFTC.

On the way through to shake a sleepy little hill climb nearby we had time to call in on this one. Currently this could be listed as a driveby - we walked in form the road.

Found with Wonder Wits, people of the world! TFTC.

Geoson found the cache while I was back at the car rustling out the chocolate bikkies. Nice-looking spot for a bush camp. Drove most of the way in but the sticks made lots of ominous sounds under our low-clearance '4WD'. TFTC.

( Looked and looked, but quickly. We were running late for the Meringandan pub lunch.. Probably stepped on it...

Neat place though, thanks for bringing us here.

Quick stop on the way to Toowoomba.TNLN TFTCF

Finally, after what seems like an eternity, I've made it back to this place to search for this cache. Found it nearly immediately, with a much better GPSr and the determination not to give up until the cache was found. Spotted something blue, which turned out to be the cache. Lots more fallen branches than last time I was here! TFTC, TheNanks!

229 - Found this one at 1:08pm after the GPS took a while to settle down. Looked in a few different places before we found it in good condition. TFTC.

We took a short detour on our way to Toowoomba for lunch. The cache was found after a short search in a nice little area.

an old chook visited

Took a little time to find due to the GPS being slow to move. Found ahead of weroamin and signed the log. TFTC.

Huh! Yeah I stood back so that gng could get there first, but she still took ages to come up with the bootie. A nice stop on an eastbound trip. TFTC TN left weroamin token.

Took a few u-turns to find a way to get close to this one, only with my 2WD geomobile, it was still a bit of a hike to get to GZ. Lovely forest, great place. TFTH.

Have driven past here so many times on the way to the in-laws but never stopped. Decided it was time to finally drop in and have a look around on the way home from a camping trip and find this one
Nice spot to go for a walk through the state forest.

What a beautiful piece of countryside, a thick fog rolled in as we found GZ at 2 in the afternoon and we almost lost where we had parked the car.

TFTC

We had a bit of fun trying to find the best approach to this one. The lack of satellites didn't help!

In the end, we were able to park within 5 metres of the cache!

As usual, Steve complicated the job of finding the cache until Mrs Steve got out of the car, walked 10 steps and said "Found it."

Cache dry and in good condition. No swaps, thanks for the cache, and thanks for showing us this great little spot!

Sneaky hide, particularly with the GPS going hay wire with the canopy cover.

Visited late in the afternoon. Took several trinkets & replaced with thers. TFTC

A quick find on the way home from the coast. TFTC. TNLNSL.

Found on tour with OMY130. Would be nice to find out some information about the location.

Found on a Saturday Cruise with X&S... Good place for a quiet camp but we went further on.

found at 12noon today. In a light drizzle and very overcast. The GPSr took a long time to settle. Took about 10 minutes to find the cache. After seeing the surrounding country I was expecting to find it in the obvious location but which piece of ???? was the answer. Have found several caches in hides like this. TNLN TFTC

Rated: for Overall Experience

Been past here many times and did not even notice this place. Found it today during a thunderstorm. Great hiding spot. Well done! Took 2 TBs and left 2 Simpsons. TFTC

Found with Skottikus and some muggle friends while passing through the area. Took nothing, left a TB on a distance race and a carabiner. TFTH

A sneaky hide! Found with Search4, Eric and Jill. TFTC! L. TB

Found when a member of LEDGIN'S.

Nice easy drive by cache. On our way home from a weekend of caching,very stiff and sore.,so this was a blessing.TFTC Took nil and left Zulu figure and key ring.

In the book of LEDGIN'S. Found at 1330hrs. Took Badge and Left Heart.

While enjoying a cuppa near this cache we were visited by the most attractive Bitch - we think Kelpie. Her markings were so even and well defined. Wanted to bring her home, however good sense prevailed and we sent her home to where she belonged.

TFTC.

The words of that song just kept at me until I arrived and found the cache at 0830hrs. The lid of the cache was brittle and broken and the contents wet. I replaced the old cache with a 1 litre sistema container and new swaps.

TN (apart from the old cache)
L - new cache.


As I left those words got to me again,

Hello muddah, hello fuddah
Here I am at Camp Granada
Camp is very entertaining
And they say we'll have some fun if it stop raining.

Just received the jungle drums from Capt "konie".He found the cache today but in need of repair so he replaced the log book and cache container..............what a good sport!

ps you nanks don't need to leave home.....ha

It's taken me such a long time to go for this cache - and then this...
Looked through the logs again and again ... no hint at all as to where this cache could be hidden. Checked all the likely places (and there were plenty!) with no luck. GZ kept jumping by 10+ metres, and my accuracy was 40m. I think I will either need to bring a friend next time, or a hint...

An nice find though i almost ran into the ranger's vehicle up in the clearing.

There is a fair amount of moisture in the container (i'm not sure how, with the double sealing.) and the items are wet. It might be worthwhile for the next finder to dry it out some more as the log-book is starting to grow.

Thanks for the cache guys.

When we left Mt Cotton we thought it would be a while before we saw a Nanks cache. Here we were in the neighbourhood of this one so to speak. Good to get one today we didnt have to engage 4wd or get muddy to claim. Nice area. Thanks for placing the cache THENANKS - Mr with Wingnut and Leigh.

Found it easily enough - some moisture has made its way into the cache, but no damage done. Its the sort of spot you would never look twice at while driving past.

took- gold plastic ring, left- frog

Lousy GPS signal today, this was the first of 4 today and reception was shocking at all of them .Found in company of geowife quickly once I was within 10m according to the gps. I think this is the start of a bushwalk mentioned in a book I have.
Took glowstar, left xmas stocking.

KevL

Woohoo! Another FTF. Took a while with my GPS sending us all over the place, looking in all the likely places. But I wasn't going home empty handed and eventually had it in hand.

Thanks for putting the cache there, made me remember a time about 20 years ago that I spent running around that forest with a rifle and pack playing soldiers!
