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 sometime in the near future, 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 28 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.

This cache has not been found for quiet some time. Needs the CO to check to see if its still there.
Its three months since the first needs maintenance was posted & still no action taken.
Maybe its time to achieve it.

Pretty sure this is gone. When I get back to sydney I will email owner with pics of the site for confirmation that it is or isnt gone. Tft scenery! Awesome.

Despite looking very hard we did not find the case sorry

Had good look but didn't find it.

Nothing found, but great view nonetheless.

Worth the trip for the view anyway

After a very long search with Angus88 it was a very disappointing DNF
I think this has definitely been muggled

Smee1961 and I knew we had a big job in front of us due to previous logs but we took up the challenge and can now add weight to the theory that the cache is gone. TFTC. Angus the great GeoWestie assisted by grey nomad carer Lis Brown on a journey from Shepparton Vic to Geelong Vic then Coolah and Port Stephens in NSW and back to Shepparton before going to Tasmania.

Would have to agree with previous cacher, cache has gone looked in EVERY nook and cranny, nothing

Would have to agree with previous cacher, cache has gone!! looked in EVERY nook and cranny, nothing

I reckon this one's been muggled. I found a 'crevice' where people had been scratching around, nothing in there though.

On the road to Bingara with enough time for a cache with a view. Took an army man for my collection and left a Rabbitohs badge. TFTC.

Great spot. It took a bit of finding after dodging he Tiger Pear. I made the dogs bark with my sneezing and then I tried calling out as well.

Thanks for the cache. Crikey it was easy when we found it. It shouldn't have been that hard for us...
Great cache and terrific views.

Nice spot with great views, found the cache after a bit of searching, TFTC

Found it

TFTC nice spot

Found on a trip to visit relatives, a great view from here. TFTF

GPSr gave me the run around for a few minutes in 38 deg. but soon had it in hand. TNLN T4TC.
Chambos

Found after over night stay in manilla. Tftc

Found with geopartner after his brilliant detective work. Was in the process pf phoning a friend when eureka he got it. Definitely need to watch out for the cacti mozzies and snakes. Tftc great view

Tftc found with geopartner. Coords are way off its about 10 m up from gz. Also would suggest that you maybe use a stick to locate cache as hide would be a favourite place for venomous wildlife to hang out

Found by team handlel

Good hide lucky quick find

Getting dark now, co-ords are out a ways, found it easily once I widened my search. Car filled with mosquitos while I was up the hill.

Yay!!! 3rd attempt!! And shiffo was the lucky bugger!! Yay!! Yay!! Yay!!!

Travelling North in company of a Non Caching Muggle friend to Bingara Northern NSW. To visit some friends on a property there. This was supposed to be a non caching trip. But what the hell. If you stumble across one what are you supposed to do. Have driven through Manilla many times have never been to the lookout before. Great views. Nice cache. TFTC

Tftc - Andy

Geoson found this after I'd looked here twice.Other logs helped with locating.Travel pass here often and have not been up here before.TFTC

This afternoon went out to spit rock dam and on the way back found it in the dark! Nice hide in a top location. Thanks for the hunt.

Excellent hide. Found on our way home to moree after an overnight trip to tamworth. Cache is in excellent condition but the bag for the log is split. Almost gave up looking until Geowife told geohusband where to go and bingo! Cache spotted! TFTC

Had to give up running out of time. Great hide. Beautiful views. Will be back.

It was hot in my riding gear as I searched for this one. The clue didn't help me, so I left without finding it.
Crusty.

This was a hard find but we eventually got it after reading a few logs. Great view of Manilla.

WOOT!! Found it!!
Saw a baby brown snake :\nLots of tiger pear
Took a while to find- make sure you don't give up! This cache is very unlikely to be muggled!!!
The cache is at arms distance and about 8-10 metres uphill to what coordinates said.

No luck ... searched for ages .. could not find.. nice spot Manilla

couldn't find this little fella, but the pricks found me. Love the view and the challenge. TFTC

Found and logged at 11:15
On a weekend visit to visit relitives + picking up a cache
Great views
Thanks TehPepper

Found with m@m@ while on geoholiday.

was about to give up on this one when the grand Trebor insisted we stay on , we did and we bagged it

Third cache for the day found with the geo girlfriend (pk) took TB left keyring
TFTC

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

No luck here as one of the kids was sick as I pulled up for a look. Will have a better look next time

Find quick and easy with 2 muggle friends. Dropped geocoin. Beautiful views of Manilla. TFTH

Found it just as the rain was starting.

Great views, found this after visiting Split Rock Dam

Found it while on our paragliding holiday in Manilla

A quick find on the way to Barraba for work

SL

TFTC

Found at 10:12 AM GAFF3. We didn't think we could get our van up due to the terrain rating, but it turned out to be a breeze. Could even turn around in a very neat "turn-around" circle. We then got out and appreciated the vast scenes all around - just wonderful. Now for the cache - we looked at the spot where the GPSr said and to our dismay there was nothing. We eventually found the cache at a distance of 10 metres and there was a huge who hoo when we found it!
Thanks TehPepper

Passing through Manilla with the van having spent a couple of nights at Split Rock, decided we needed to get a cache in the area.
Took Soccer Ball
Left Flag Badge

great spot tftc taking tericera to new location

Found with "STELIAM", left glowstick and dropped off a geocoin, took small puzzle toy. TFTC-SL

Great views on a sunny day, TFTC

Almost gave up. Really good hiding spot. No pen, left ours. Lovely view. Happy kids. TFTC.

Came to Manilla for an auction sale . . and a cache. An easy find if you look from the right spot-not that we did this straight away! Some nasty little prickles in the area but a great view and lunch spot. Left TB, TFTC TehPepper.

After a long day of successful geocaching, arrived here as the last site of the day. Followed coordinates and scoured the site to no avail. Had quickly found a spot where there were several zip lock bags hidden...but no cache. Not certain if the muggles have found this one so will keep a watch in case another GZer finds it.

With flood waters cutting off heaps of roads, I decided to get back home a different way.Got some great shots of a very swollen Manilla River. Perfect spot for a cache. TFTH

Great views! Family loved it. Swapped a small item. Thanks very much!!

Alas DNF. Was so confident I would find it amongst the boulders but gave up in the end. Being bitten by a bullant didn't help either. Spent a lot of time looking but had to move on. Nice views however.

Found it. Love the view, we are just behind you wilbur6bug.
Jameskylejoel

Love the view and the cute paper mâché stars

Found while passing through on the way home from Tamworth. All the work was done for me as someone or something had revealed cache. May be local muggles as there was a stack of fire wood near by ready to go. Oops, better stash & go as local muggle has arrived to check the view.

Pulled up with another car already here, so a quick look at the views and they left as we headed up the path towards GZ. Some nice views from up here too. Took a little while to locate the cache and we were soon on our way again.

TFTC

This one was a doozy! Our first for the day, but with Abel E doing field work in the middle of town, Abel A had to make the lone 1.5km walk from the work site to the lookout. Left the work place at 8am, and got to the lookout at 8.40am. Luckily the weather was perfect, so I wasn't too short of breath. Then came the hunt. Made countless references to the iphone reading past logs and the clues over and over ago to see what I was missing, but finally, after an hour, I spotted something in a place which I had thoroughly checked before. Great cache in a really nice location. Great views of the rivers and the flood plains. Placed the cache back where I had found it...then had to walk back to town! TFTC

Reperio at 1300. For the second cache in a succession, Darwinian and I were treated to some wonderful views. A quick dash up the hill and we were soon at GZ, but after a good 5-10 minutes searching, we were still cacheless. I don't know what made me do it, but I wandered over to the fence to look at the views there, and looked down and spotted the cache a good 8-9m away from GZ.

Fantatic spot.

Gratias.

Well now I know that I should not have pushed my luck. This one was clearly not meant to be a found it! I searched for a good half hour and nothing....dear o dear.

I took a wrong turn somewhere and drove the geomobile for a few k's along a scenic road hoping that a turnoff toward a lookout would appear.
No such luck and I started to think that I might actually have to walk up that steep hill in high thirties temperatures [xx(]
So I tried another road and wha'd'yer know ?
There was the magic [brown]brown[/brown] roadside sign I had been looking for pointing up the hill

Finally at the lookout I hopped out to experience the full heat of the afternoon sun and wandered off to find me a cache
A paraglider was wobbling along a few hundred feet above.
Meanwhile down on terra-firma I was losing my cool and after a fruitless 20 minutes of searching was starting to wonder about my sanity [:o)]
Nup !! I'm not giving up
With heatstroke a possibility I stubbornly stuck at the search for another couple of minutes and found the cache at arms length

After all that I finally noticed the view.
Nice !!

TFTC, I will file it away.
In a manilla folder....of course

It took us a little while but we got there. Our GPS on my Android phone might be slightly out. With my GeoKids the BestCrew on way to Tamworth the back way from our home in Gunnedah. We took the yo to and left a black pen because the Rookies took it.

Great view from the top. TNLN.

Whilst there is a turning circle at the top, it's not really suitable for big rigs or caravans.

NICE VTEW OF THE VALLEY GOOD HIDE LEFT RED ROCK

GREEN GEOKO

Climbed all over GZ and tried all the obvious places suggested by the clue but no luck! good exercise though!

Nice stop on a long drive, good way to stretch your legs.

Our first ever family geocaching adventure!! We had great fun finding it. But beware the tiny tiger pear cacti. TFTC

Took a wrong turn but eventually got there. Bit messy, but good view. Made some swaps. TFTC.

Found this cache at 3:20pm on our way north to Goondawindi for a vintage car Rally with our Morris Commercial 1928 truck.
Fantastic views from lookout.
TN LN
Thanks TehPepper for the hide.
The Bushies.

easy found.

At last, one we were able to find. Bit of garbage up here though which is a shame. TNLNSL

Easy find after looking for a long time at the first "obvious" spot ended up being a dead end. TFTC.

Found easy after a walk wading through the muggles last one for the day getting mighty tired thanks heaps

Hmmm...a few others seemed to have been having difficulties with this one and we had to do a little searching ourselves. Co-ords seemed to make me want to disregard the hint, but after letting go and looking looking looking, we came up trumps. Garnet out, horse rubber in. We actually made this a breakfast stop, after spending the previous night at Keepit Dam, and it was just the perfect location. Thanks for bringing us here.

Not so easy a find but grandma garnets came up with the goods even though I had to retrieve it. Great view up at this site. Left a garnet took a spring thingo. TFTF.
The Garnets

Nice place. Didn't know about the road and couldn't figure out how to get there without going through private property but found the road and ended up as an easy find. My 5 muggle companions are converts.
Took key ring left high fashion sunglasses (well one of my companions did anyway.

Yep, no problems finding the cache here, on my way north to visit family in QLD. Loved the view and took some pictures to make a panorama out of it. Loved the wild sunflowers at the bottom of the hill. Dropped into the rest stop on my way back to grab some flower heads for seeds. TNLNSL TFTC.

p.s. logging my Geotalk Coin through.

Found the cache in the first place I thought it might be.
Took little heart slinky,
Left big multicolour slinky.
Took TB

Checked on the cache today. Still right where it should be.

Nothing has to be moved to get to it.

This cache appears to have been muggled as weroamin and myself searched every nook and cranny and came up empty handed. SOB!!!!

In company with gerrynewgirl I came up empty handed for this one with only two possible explanations. Either the co-ords are off AND/OR it has gone missing. With two different GPSs we both got the same GZ (the tree and stump), but we looked in every other possible nook or crevice without any luck. Thought that I had it at one stage, but I pulled out an old fashioned Coke can. The town view was much better from GZ anyway, so thanks for taking us to that locale.

Had a good look for cache but to no evail, same nice site tho

Great view, had a lovely morning tea stop here. We never would have known it was there but for the geocache.
T - Puffy animal L - Flower Travel bug TFTC

All is well with the cache.

Merry Christmas.

I will check it at Cchristmas time when im down there.

I had the same results as dentos. searched long and hard with no results their was a lot of trees down searched in the stump and all the rock crevess it might have gone missing or there was a place i didnt look great views thanks for the views.
regards Angel Dust.

Looked for ages but no luck. Nice view though.

Passing by on the way to Moree. Took the short detour up to the lookout to admire the view.
Find #100, worthy cache.
Picked up Tommy Trojan Geocoin.

Barcoo
Found it, nice view. Took key and left Tommy Trojan Geocoin.

An easy fine but a good stop over to stretch your legs.
