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.

Having just added to the growing list of DNFs here, it appears pretty certain that the cache is gone and that the NM a couple of months back elicited no response from the owner. With the area around GZ becoming increasingly overgrown with lantana and other thorny weeds, along with all the rubbish being dumped there, it's probably not a good idea to continue drawing people down there for no result.

The track down to GZ is increasingly becoming a rubbish tip, with a pile of discarded clothing and strange lengths of rubber tubing just before the cache. A search of all the likely hiding places revealed no trace of the cache.

Need CO checking...

DNF for today...
Took us about an hour, but definitely spot there area by show photos from cacher..
re-searched deep dig around on GZ, unfortunately no cache there...
scratched on my arm by thorn ...
PTF for hint, right there area... Definitely no cache...

Didnt know that there were acouple of dnfs on this one, Had a quick search and read the logs. Decided to leave it and continue my walk

Took the awesome steep short cut down into GZ - but sadly no bucket at GZ that I could find. I did have fun though. I must have taken a while though as geowife started honking and checking on my health at least I know she cares ha ha

I then read previous log. Bugger. It may be gone? Or maybe I just had a boy look.

A fun adventure today, through yarramalong and cedar brush creek, and looping back through kulnura and jilliby state forest. 30 or so caches and lots of fun in the 4WD. Not a bad effort with 2 kids in the back (3 and 1).

Looks like it may have been muggled. I'm in another country so I can't check it myself. I loved this one too! Send me a message if anyone finds differently or if anyone wants to put a new one in.

We thought that we found the original cache place, but the bucket wasn't there ? The coordinate was right too, but maybe it wasn't our day to grab this one yet or maybe it's been muggled ?
Thanks anyway basscadetz.

Everyone loves a huge Geocache. This one is the biggest I have found to date. Lots of treasure to swap too. Getting to the GZ was harder than it looked on the map. The mess of vines with barbs on them blocked the path at every turn. I even had to crawl at one point. But after 10 min of bush bashing I found the geocache. The listed TB was NOT in the Geocache. Love it, thanks basscadetz.

Cool find. Lots of swaps. Took a few bits and pieces, left a hot wheels, rubbers, bouncy balls, torches etc

Our last day here so picking up a few we have missed. Came further than expected.
As previous finders have noted, take the track about 250m before the cache. Nice walk in.
TFTC #1149

I parked near to the cache location but it looked as if it was a hundred feet below from where I was. I walked up and down the road to look for an entry but it looked a bit difficult to get down. Headed off to do another cache up the road a bit and had good luck. As I was driving down the hill I saw what I was after. A short walk and cache was discovered. TN L metal australia badge. SL and returned as found. Thanks for an interesting hide. I feel sorry for all the bush bashers.

Found it - easy find once on track TFTC

Found what seems to be the perfect place for it, all clues lead to certain spot but seems to be gone. Maybe owner could check it out?

Found it with jtmooore and COG072 didn't have app at time to log

Good walk and a good cache. Found with jtm00re. Bring along something to leave

Found with COG702. It was cool to see all the bits and pieces people have left behind.

Nice walk from parking spot approaching this geo

1 big bucket, that is way cool thnx

Nice hide biggest container I've had

Awesome

Difficult walk through yhe forrest but a good find

Found easily, although it does blend in amongst the garbage that unfortunately litters this trail. Got a lovely greeting from a large family of bell miners. We left a couple TBs because this container was nice and big and dry!

Great ! Best one so far !

Nothing like a quick bushwalk. Biggest cache i have found so far.

Find #1530 - 3 for today. Found on 12/07/2014 4:55 pm
With only half an hour of light left, thought I'd take the straight line down from the road. Found an impenetrable wall of lantana but managed to find a way around down to the track. It was only a few minutes to locate the cache and do my business. Now to find my way back up in the fading light. Phew! Made it. Thanks for the not so common large cache. TNSLLN

tftc

Great track! Found with sweetnublets.

Thanks - top spot out in leech country!

Found it! after Dad took us down the wrong path a couple of times.
Dad

Bit of bush bashin' fun

TFTC TNLN

Found with my sissy

never again haha bush bashin

Had so much fun bush bashing to find this one! Thank you.

AWESOME BUSHWALK!! GREAT HIDING SPOT

Found along the tourist route on the way into the Yarramalong Valley.

TFTC. Field position log. Full log to follow.

Found 12:59 pm. TFTC. TNLN. Bush bashed from fire trail not much fun, find an easier way out. Came to the nearby Treetops adventure place so was in the neighbourhood.

Cool find left a necklace

Biggest find so far!! Thank god for daylight savings. Great little walk to GZ. SL. TNLN. TFTC. Favourite!

TFTC - a great short walk whilst listening to the birds.

After following the path, the easy way to the GZ, GeoWife spotted the bucket. Full of swappable goodies but we didn't bring anything worthy!
TFTC TNLN - SL

What an awesome cache!
We were to lazy to try and find the track.
So we thought why not, and we went off track. Although we got heaps of cuts from the stupid lantana, it made finding it all the more fun! Our off track approach served us well as we came out on to the track right in front of it!
We hadn't had a trade cache in a while, and were glad to find an awesome one!!
TFTC!!!!!

Scouts Australia Geo Competition. TFTC.

today we went geocaching with geofamily and did a mad trail

Stupid lantana was in our way when we got close to the cache. [8d] and took puffle

Well I thought this would be a quick find, parked by the road and went down to find the huge walls of lantana. I didn't feel too bad about making my way though it, knowing it's a noxious weed. Managed not to get too scratched up. Still took me a while to find this large cache though! Signed log, took the golf ball (ha!) and left some toy stuff for the kids that might come here via the nice path way. Thanks for the cache!

Great cache, Great drive over the mountain, TFTC

TFTC [:x]

Geowife spotted it. Lovely place. Lots of bird life. Saw a lyre bird on our walk in

Tftc tnln sl cache in good order

Found on a 4wd day with ALCAN4x4.
Some condensation but most contents are dry. Chambos

Extreme terrain, but nonetheless a great cache.
TFTH!

TFTC - navigated in straight on bearing so probably why the terrain was significantly harder than advertised. We found the track but was pretty overgrown so came out the way we went in. Excellent cache. Advise long trousers though for future cachers. Took TB to further it's adventures.

Great cache this is what caching is all about. As Martin said "this is a man's cache". Went in and out on the bearing and have the scratches to prove it.

0909 GAFF3 #3 of 30 in a day for the MGSc cache (GC2J6AY) requirement - 4/. So a day was put aside from my week holiday and off to Gosford and West Sydney. The embarrassing thing was I tried to find this a few weeks ago (at night) using the clue for "Mega Fun", and wondered what I got myself into, only to realise today that I'd mislabeled a cache on the borrowed GPSr.
So a nice walk on the track I'd taken on the way out last time, and soon had the cache 'in hand'.
Left: blue pen, scissors, Ziploc bag for the nice logbook, and a Correct Site Marker - surgical marking pen.
Brought through for mileage: Coins - 3Bros, Lighthouses, IconicBridges, B2B, Baa, Neigh Neddy and Oink, Signal 2006, Geocaching Australia 2006, 100 Finds, CITO Tag, Hollandse Klompen (clogs) and Red Racing Ninja #4 TBs, and trackable shirt.

A great day for caching on the 12/12/12. Nice to find a large cache for a change - and in a lovely forest location, too. Left TB. TFTC

2030 - 2130 DNF Had been wanting to get my finds in the Large size up a bit, but no luck tonight. But as I didn't even my laptop / GSAK with me tonight it is no surprise that I took the T3½ way in, only to find a track for the way out. It was trying to spit, so left a few rubbish items in an area that was close to GZ, and saw some interesting things that would be too hard to get out without a machete.
So a GAFF1 DNF
TFTC basscadetz anyway, at least I know the way in now!

We enjoyed this area in 2006 and we are enjoying it again today. Lots of scenic locations and we enjoyed a more intense day than yesterday of caching with Mr Shifterbrains in the navigator seat. We spent the morning doing caches along dirt tracks in the light drizzle and enjoying the different bush locations. We enjoyed the walk to gz and after a bit of searching around the good sized cache was spotted. TNLN
Nice work with the cache thanks to basscadetz.

Easy enough find at night. Might organise an event up here soon, it really needs it. TNLN TFTC!

I seem to be making a habit of arriving at GZ locations the hard way. Another very hard slog through thick bracken and scratchy things. From now on I MUST survey the surrounding area before diving in, as invariably there will be a much easier entry via some sort of track. Having arrived at GZ (with GeoMut having had a ball in the thick undergrowth) the bucket was quickly located. Unfortunately it is currently full of "crappy trinkets" so TNLN.

A bit of rubbish, we cleaned it up a little. Biggest one I've found so far!
TFTC

4th find with Gribbly for the day - took the hard way in, track out. Container was damp - so its more a Bucket of soggy crud TFTC

Blue mars beat me to it

Found!

Certainly was a bucket o fun. Lots of goodies. TN left some halfpennies. Thanks basscadetz

I was heading to sydney for some caching and decided to call in here first, parked nice and close and made the difficult short walk to this big cache, then made the easier walk back to the car just as the rain began to fall.

Thanks.

Found this on a bike ride. Might come back with the kids to the nearby TreeTop Adventure Park - it looked fun.

I suspect the terrain will gradually go up on this cache, the path is gradually getting overgrown

Wet day but a great spot TFTC

Mega cache, good for any size swag !

Oh boy did I (Geomum) go in the hard way!! I came down the hill and hit wall after wall of lantana!! I eventually found a way through and found the cache quite easily. Trekked out the easy way! Thanks for a great, if frustrating and tiring, cache!!

Nice quick easy find

good one

Tftc

Nice find tftc

Interesting walk to GZ. Nice and big and full of swaps

Great sized container in a good location. Bashed our way down from the road through a lot of lantana and thorny vines.

Tricky find today, GPS would not settle but got there by searching. TFTC.

cool day today, very good stroll to gz and wow cache very good... thanks

Nice easy find after a great ride
not many great swappables TNLN
TFTC SL

Straight down around the lantana under the blackberry over the dead branches and finally after all that bushbashing (which I am not a fan of) we found it. We decided to walk the trail west, unfortunately the trail ran out and decided to go up from here( did I not say I am not a fan of bushbashing lol). We made it out and back to the car and on to the nest one.

Scrambled down mountain slope, dense bush bashing which I kind of enjoy... Except the lantana tried to strangle and trip us up a few times lol. Finally made it to GZ

We parked up the top and spotted a few "buckets" down the slope - but there was no 'fun' in this rubbish. We then struggled through 30m of crap, scrambling up and down the slope through lantana but finally gave up.

walked down from the top----had to skirt around the lantana-----found an obvious growers plot(a well dug patch)took bell left hand made jewellery.

Enjoyed the walk bell birds singing. Shame travel bug not there so took took billiard ball left camel bell from Dubai.

First of 7 for the day on the central coast

Found it and drop TB

Nice large cache. And quick to find. TSLS. TFTC
