Holy Cow ! Katherine, Northern Territory, Australia
By Kerr NT on 16-Dec-07. Waypoint GC17ZEW

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.

Should you like to resurrect the cache please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

From http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache

The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.

If a geocache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance it will not be unarchived.

Have placed a replacement cache on behalf of the CO and cheekily claiming this as a find.

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 listing and post a new 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.

No luck here

Hmmm leaving it for another day

Sadly no find here for me today. Hopeful I'm just being cache blind.

Yes found it! TFTC ^^

The old experimental farm. TFTC. SL

Our first find in the NT, and means we have now found a cache in each state of Australia. TFTC

This cache is very close to where I spend a lot of my time so last year when I looked at the string of "Did not find" logs I decided not to bother. After a chat to my mechanic yesterday, who, with his family are keen geocachers, I had a change of heart and successfully found it after his insistence that yes, it was there, it's just not where everyone thinks it should be. A pair of dropped tweezers on the ground gave it away. The tweezers are still there, I've just moved them to where they are not so easily visible. TFTC

We are staying at a nearby caravan park after visiting the west coast having attended the Red Centre Experience over Easter. I took to my bike today to see if I could find the caches in two of Katherine 's PTs.
OK, this isn't part of the PT but a person would have to be crazy not to grab it on the way. Took a little longer to find than it should have, but eventually I had CIH and signed log as SG as I often do in small caches to save space.
Thanks for placing this cache for us to find Kerr NT, a clever hide, and gets a FP for your effort.

Interesting spot TFTC

Still travelling NT after the Red Centre Experience but now moving towards Birdsville in QLD for the Big Red Bash.

Staying a few days in Katherine to attempt 'lots' of the local caches we hope.

Today Mr Felix jumped on his GeoBike to tackle the things that freak you out series. All in all an enjoyable and fun ride. He even popped in to visit the local airport whilst out that way.

Grabbed this one along the ride.

Nicely hidden here, had us searching for a bit, but then aha! TFTC

Holy cow TFTC

#6992 - 12:40; Day 18 of the Alice Mega Road Trip with Sol de lune, albida33 and fitzy_1965, so signing logs as A.L.F.S. Following a night in Mataranka Springs we continued enroute to Darwin after attending the Red Centre Experience event in Alice Springs refreshed after a swim to start the day. We were headed to Adelaide River to spend the night, passing through Katherine and Pine Creek The caching picked up again today after a couple of quiet ones as we covered some big distances. We managed 47 finds and 10 DNFs along with a few trig points for the day. All caches found were in good nick, including this one. May not have stopped if I'd seen the earlier logs, but all was good today. TFTC KerrNT

Alice trip 2017. Day 16. Another day of driving, today took Sol de Lune, Luckyl10n, Fitzy_1965 and I from Mataranka to Adelaide River. Long distances with fewer caches until we arrived at Katherine. Great country along the way. I'm glad I did not see the logs before I found this one !

Thanks.

13437. Next find of Day 08 of the Red Centre Experience Roadtrip. Heading North.

I flew into Alice Springs to meet up with my caching mates Sol de Lune, Albida33 and LuckyL10n (signing mostly as ALFS) to attend the Red Centre Experience and then venture up north to Darwin and then east into Qld before heading south for home - a three week caching trek.

Next stop for the day. Glad we didn't read all the DNFs on this one as it was a quick find at GZ fur us! Signed the log, replaced the cache, and it was off to the next cache.

TNLN - TFTC !!

Didn't find maybe owner needs to check cache

Don't think this one is still there

I have a feeling that it may have fallen off the bull & lost in the grass, unfortunate

No luck for us.

Had a good look with the kids but could not find

He sure is one big bull.....
A nice quick find but the magnet is missing.
Signed the log and replaced in the same spot
as found.

Thanks Kerr NT

Little Squirell

Quick find here while on the trail. Love the sign.....can't miss the general cache location

Today we explored Katherine and surrounds using geocaching as a guide. Yep like pthers a different place to hide the cache, kept us going a bit, co-ords very good. Signed TT and magnet is missing.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

TFTC nice work Rachied couldn't of found it without u

Wasn't expecting that!
Found- Aimz & Rachied

Today was our last day in Katherine and we were heading out to visit the Cutta Cutta Caves in the afternoon. We had a little time to spare so I decided to stop off and hunt for this cache...mostly because finding it would fill in another day on my "Finds by Placed Date" calendar to bring the count up to 350 out of 366. I hunted for a while and was about to give up when I finally spotted the cache.

Thanks Kerr NT for putting this cache here...a rather cheeky hide.

Found it

2 week holiday in the nt cross caching trip with geoparents who have come from germany for a visit.
Unfortunately 2 weeks go so fast and after having driven down from darwin to alice springs and uluru we have to make our way back to darwin for our flight back to cairns but not without finding a few more caches

Needs a new log, as per previous post. Sneaky little bugger...

Just thought it was a good time to pick up some more caches before heading out of Katherine and continuing our travels. TFTC.

Quick find, Log is full. TFTC

Tricky hide. Needs new log. TFTC

TFTC, took a little bit to find and some nonchalant acting for the muggles.

Tftc

TFTC needs new log

TFTC - all I can say is where there a gate there's s cache, awesome spot

Tftc

Found it!

TFTC

Nice and easy!

Took a short search but we got it in the end. TFTC

[Teal]As we head from town to town as part of our "Purposeful Meander around Oz" the Rats and the Mini Rats found this cache. Dad did most of the hard work here, the detail of our find can be found in the Rats log. Sorry for the duplicate log but it takes nothing away from the find.

Thanks for being part of our great adventure.

As we head from town to town as part of our "Purposeful Meander around Oz" the Rats and the Mini Rats found this cache.
This could have quite easily been part of the themed trail nearby

Thanks for being part of our great adventure.
TFTC

Found with some help

Thanks for another nice easy one

A quick find whilst in Katherine for some work. T4TC. Had a look for this one a few years ago with no luck, better luck today!

[Blue]# 9832 Found on the NT leg of our S.K.I.D.R.O. adventure.[/Blue]
A warm morning drive around while on a short stay at Katherine.
Hardly any muggles around at the moment and good quick finds.
Sneaky and a good safe hide. Thanks for the cache Kerr NT,

Quick find on a morning that's heating up. TFTC

11523 caches found

good co ords making it a quick find

took : nothing
left : nothing

Thanks for the cache Kerr NT

Had a quick search but did not come up with the goods. Thanks

Found fairly quickly whilst doing a few caches on the Stuart Highway near home.

I came back and found this one really easily..... must have been the light TFTC.

Quick find. TFTC.

Found it!!

Easy fond thanks to mini cachers.

Heading towards Katherine, on our 2nd trip around Australia.
HOLY COW !!
A tough little cache to find.
Thanks for the challenge, Kerr NT.

On tour from Melbourne to Darwin and beyond using our fantastic game as a self guided tour .
Thankyou for your cache contribution as it made for a memorable road trip - tftc .

Together with Juekru and ariele23
We didn´t find this Cache during our Trip through W-Australia from Perth to Darwin
TFTC and greets from Austria!

Easy find my GPS took me straight to the cache. I must admit I was going to start looking in the most obvious spot.
Dropped some TB's in for a visit.
Thanks for the cache

Another day of caching in the Katherine region we have decided to head south of the town.
A nice looking cow to distract us from our task, but a quick hunt & we soon had the little beast in hand.
Thanks Kerr NT

Oooh. A great little micro near a place that anthropologists working in this area know very well.

There was nothing udderly amazing about this cache
It was definitely a load of bull
On arrival at GZ, on the pushbike, I was [u]steered[/u] in the wrong direction by the GPS !!
This find became a test I tickled which turned into a real balls up
Good job no body was watching ... too closely ... as I felt around for a cache
Eventually common sense came to the rescue and I looked more closely at the GPS.
I had cast ratings all over the place until now !!

At the place the GPS pointed, I finally spied the cache

Mooooo!!

On a Trip to the top end for the V8 Race weekend 14 days of driving and racing
took a bit of looking before we finally found it

Heading up to Darwin for the V8's grabbing a few caches on the way. Big cow but only a small cache. TFTC.

# 3153Found and logged at 9:35:16 AM
One of 15 finds for the day while traveling up the track on my way to Darwin
Thanks

Had a quick look for this one last year but didn't spot it then. This time we took no bull from this one and soon had the cache in hand.

TFTC

Cheeky little hide! TFTC

Fast grab we split up to go get boots for the gorge and by the time the second half made it back it was found. TFTH

Pretty simple find....pretty small though. SL

Many thanks from Peter for this cache on the 13. Australia Trip (2012/2013).
Cheers Peter

Armed only with a tip from a fellow GeoCacher that there was a Cache near the bull (with balls!) i found it within minutes, tftc Kerr



Why do people say "grow some balls"? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding.

Heazle1 tftc

Loved this spot. Found it on my way into Katherine. TFTC.

Second bite at this one and found easily after help from owner
TFTC

easy find TFTC ...put more paper in there as old all used up ..plenty of space to roll onto
so original posts still there ,,TFTC

TFTC. Didnt have a pen so couldnt sign log.

No bull about this one. Thanks fr an udderly good cache. All is well although the log is quite full and we didn't have a replacement of this size, Sorry.
TFTC

Found reasonably easily with the help of good coordinates. I am not at all sure that cachers should be going around without pens. Seems a bit wrong to me! So very basic.
I would have driven to the nearest shop for one, which is not very far at all.

Nice hide on the trip Sorry about late logging plenty of 4 legged help. Dashbram

This was our 7th cache in our caching run today - and we found it at around 12:07.
(So this is our 4599th total find.)

Found easily. Don't beef ooled the coords are spot on!!

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Thanks Kerr NT for the hunt today.

A quick late afternoon find. First nano which gives a good idea of what I'm looking for next time I come across these little blighters! TFTC.

Have to admit: OzFlameHunter found it. But he couldn't get to it. That's why it's always handy to take a women GCing
Nice hide - TFTC

This must be a well hidden cache. Spent a bit of time here and couldn't find in

2 different visits, no finds
Oh well

We resorted to PAF a few weeks ago for this one to return today to find the little blighter sitting IPS, SL TFTC and the fun

A nice easy find getting good finding these little blighters.
TFTC

Very small looked passed it at first but with some log directions found it after all..

Found it eventually, I was about to give up when hubby finally looked in the right spot.
Very difficult to see. TFTC

Spent awhile at this one, no luck but

After suggesting this cache should be archived as its owner hasn't been on there profile since 2009 I decided I would email a friend whom had found this one some time ago (I was going to send owner a message for a hint). Got some advice where this one should be. It was a little aways from where I looked the other day but Hindging on the fact that there where some DNF's I didn't spend hrs here looking. Thought as I was here for a few days I would call back today and have another look. Spent 10 mins looking at what my EAF said to look at then suddenly spotted this little black thing in the ground as it was a bit buried I am guessing it has been there awhile. SL and replaced the little black NANO where I was told it should be. TFTC

Had abit of a look here but could not locate it either

After checking owner profile as was going to send a message to get clue decided it was waste of time as owners last visit to web site was may 10th 2009. So I am guessing they are not going to check cache if the account hasn't been visited in such a long time

No nothing- again, terrible day in Katherine no luck with any finds

Hit the spot at 14.15 pm
After 3/4 of an hour searching we gave up.
Think the cache is ripped.
Sorry, but the cow is enormous.
Greetings from Holland

Cache is a NANO canister not a micro - may help you look in the right place.

Nice big cow!
