As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm 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 this in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.
So many DNFs, and the owner doesn't appear to be active any more - perhaps this one should be archived?
Unable to find - but believe we did find the spot it would have in. Found on NY day but had to put 31st .
Looked and Loooked but could not find. Think we know where it should be. Read other logs and think this is just not there. Should have read logs first before going out to search. Just drove past sign that said unauthorised vehicles prohibited. Anyhow, it would not be that far to go for a walk to get to the cache.
DNF
Maybe this one should be made unavailable until it can be checked?
Also there is signage up about unauthorised vehicles...

My first attempt at finding this cache in the park was from the wrong track through the grass, on foot.
I wandered the last 50metres or so from the geomobile and looked around for 5 minutes but found no cache [:o]
That will learn me not to read the cache notes
So realising I had missed seeing the cache, I drove the geomobile around onto the potholed road and this time saw the cache through the windscreen from a good 30 metres away [:o]

Found while on the way back with poor Turbo 1 as he had to retire from the Bike Tassie after sustaining an injury, devastated as he was poor Turbo. Had to lift Turbo 3 up to get this one. Great hide. Thanks from the Turbo Chickens
Found GZ easily enough, trouble was how to get my hands on the cache!! Ah, big stick did the trick. Rehiding it took longer than finding it . Then I was beset by 5 muggles on trail bikes!! Took PTFE thread, left glitter glue. TFTC
Walked across from the road and nearly got sprung by muggles on a 4 wheeler who came from nowhere at high speed.
Thanks centurionTAS
Thanks centurionTAS
I am just tall enough for this one, the offside was not. We had no clues or text and came in from the Southern end and experienced all 500 pot holes! I was a bit slow turning the GPS on. Took D-shackle and left piece of coral.
Good to see this one in its hiding spot this time instead of o the ground empty,
nice easy find,
thanks centurionTAS

Easy find. Easy retrieval, no special equipment needed, don't know why people seem to be having difficulty with it....

Well I have to say a big thank you to Mr CP for our numerous phone conversations throughout the morning. He had forewarned me that I was going to run into difficulty with this cache so I knew I needed to put some real effort into it.
He was right about not being able to get my car to GZ and a step ladder isn't something I carry around on my back (although I know another cacher who has been known to) so I came up with another option........... the esky in the boot of my car !!!!......ok, now I know I can't be super brilliant all the time and emptying the eski before I lugged it all the way to GZ just didn't cross my mind but at GZ it worked a treat and with the extra height and a small amount of scrambling I had it (the cache that is) .....then I had the light bulb moment and thought if I drank what was in the eski then it wouldn't be so heavy to carry back to the car...... good thing Mr CP didn't come back to check on me otherwise it might have been my last cache for the day.
Thanks for the cache centurion Tas ..red tag loves a challenge

Found this one when I was Mrs Cheesy Pig. I have struck out on my own and am now logging the caches I found in my previous persona (but not the ones found only by Mr Cheesy Pig of course)! Let me know if you would like me to find it and log it again but under my new name.
12:49 pm - This cache proved a very tricky hide for shorter cachers. In the end the cache was retrieved, the return was an interesting spectacle though .
Took bouncy ball left keyring torch. Thanx Centurion.
As an addendum on Saturday I was contacted by the female half of Red Tag who was caching in this area and had trouble with another "top shelf" cache. I haven't heard back from her but I doubt she stood a chance at getting this cache in hand.

Yep, 5commer3 found the said cache obviously not where it was supposed to be and not in the correct condition....damn possums! I guess they wanted in on the action. I have replaced cache and restocked with some goodies in it's original location albeit with some extra cover (slightly larger container needed extra hiding) please try to replicate this, when you find it you will know what I mean
go get 'em kiddo's!

We had a look for this one on the way home from GT,
Didn't find a cache with a log book and goodies inside but we did find what may have been a cache container lying beside the track with a hole in its side,
If this cache used to be a 500ml screw top painted black inside it is now in my 4x4 and will be laid to rest in the recycle bin,
no sign of the log book or other contents if it was the cache,

Almost out of reach...very neat hide....which again should be muggle proof. Once the track in gets upgraded this will be quite a neat area...quite nice down at the lake. Enjoyable stop over ...TNLN...replaced torn ziploc. Many thanks again centurionTas...Cheers.
I was running short of time so I parked on the highway some 140m from cache.
Had quite a morning around here finding 6 CT caches along the way.
Many thanks for your efforts and keep them coming!

Nice hide !! With height not on my side i was glad my son came with me. Took shark, left bouncy ball.
Knocked off work, headed into G Town to grab a coffee and then straight into a bit of caching before the drive home. Found all five ‘newish’ caches that have been placed in this area recently so was a good morning
The last of the five finds and another well placed cache, used the clue as time was getting on and I really had to get home and catch a few Zzzzzz as I have to go back in on night shift tonight.
A quick find, swapped the D bolts for a cockatoo fridge magnet and home to bed…
Thanks for all the caches ‘centurion TAS’ Looking forward to seeing a few more of your hides popping up.
