Lest we forget Medowie... Medowie, New South Wales, Australia

As there's been no cache to find or log to sign 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 near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Had a good look and then went for the clue, gz seems a bit off when you read the clue

Checked on the Cache, and it appears to have been removed. As the park can be popular, it undergoes regular maintenance. It appears during one of the more recent maintenance activities the logs along the cyclone fencing have been removed which would have uncovered our cache. Sorry for anyone who has been disappointed.

Logs and cache removed. Sorry. Will have to investigate new location and restore cache.

Talked to another previous finder about this one, looks like it is gone.

No luck today with two cachers searching.

This Is about the forth time I have been back to this one not sure if is still there. Will come back to try again:(

The flowers were still at the alter (pic). Clear skies, Respect and cache.

Driving right past this park on the way to work today. A quick find in the early part of the day. TFTC.

Managed to find with nobody around.
TFTC.

Found this one a few metres from where the GPSr was telling us to go. Might have been due to cloud cover but we finally looked in the right spot. TFTC

Reperio at 1330. Nice little park where there was a game of cricket going on in the distance. Sat down next to GZ and spotted the cache quickly as a bit of it was poking through the camo.

Gratias.

Mrs horseybunch had a bit of spare time to kill this beautiful (almost Autumn) afternoon, so decided to have a crack at this one. Found after a few minutes of looking, was a bit exposed - am suprised it hasn't been muggled. SLTNLN. TFTC.

New to the geocaching game and this is find number 1.

Thanks for the cache quick find no one about TNLNSL

Found after a short look. Nice quite town that we wouldnt have visited otherwise. Thanks!

Mr geo is on a roll today, I was ready to throw in the towel. TFTCSL

Found on a mammoth day's caching of 124 caches in 17 hours around the Maitland and Port Stephens area with The Rats and FarmerFrentzen.

I missed this cache in my field notes but I remember it!

Another memorial we visited today- cache was an easy find which was a bit exposed- tried to put it back a little better. TFTC!

#4824 Found this cache as part of the Rats, Steeba & FarmerFrentzen blitz on the Port Stephens area. We were surprised that this cache wasnt muggled, we found it rather exposed.
I like the unofficial fireplace and chairs nearby.
Thanks

Found during a 17 hour caching spree with The Rats and steeba that yielded 124 finds.

A nice little spot to site and reflect.

TNLN and thanks The Whoarewiis for the cache.

Nice hide, took me a little linger than planned. TFTC

Found on a delightful day caching in the area. Thanks to The Whoarewiis for the cache. I replaced a lost dinosaur who appeared to have fallen out on a previous vist.

A great spot for the kids to get out and take a breather. Loved the memorial- reminding us of the past...Also loved the campfire- a glimpse into the 'olden' days! TFTC TNLN SL

Our 90th find. Lovely little park. TFTC.

Bonjour from French Canadians,

Holidaying from Quebec, Canada. Having a geocaching great time!!
We're home swapping in Nelson Bay for three weeks.
What a great place and also a geocaching paradise.

TFTC, TNLN, SL

Found in company of sister and brother in law. We were impresed with the Memorial TFTC T.n. left a garnet

That was an easy find today while on my way to Nelson Bay.
Thank you very much for this cache!
Greetings, Colonel Dago from Germany

Found it nice and easy on the way to Tea Gardens. Nice park. No muggles to be seen. Phew!
Thanks The Whoarewiis for the cache.

Found by Mary & David at 1305. A very pretty little park, and a lovely place for a memorial. Our thanks again to The Whoarewiis.

Bit tricky getting satelites but found it in the end . TFTC

I have gone past here 1000's of times and never taken any notice oof it.

Found at 9.45 am GAFF1. We had to wait under the bbq shelter while a shower passed and while we were waiting we let the GPS hone in on GZ which allowed us to pounce on the cache straighht away after the rain eased.
Thanks The Wharewiis.

Got the there in the end
TFTC SL

I always find it sobering when I come across a tribute to our fallen countrymen. A quick find after finally believing the GPS rather than our "cacher" sense (for a change). TFTC

We all struggled for this one but as stated once trusting in the GPS it was all done bar the logging. TFTC

Nice and quiet here this afternoon, TFTC

The Community Hall was busy this afternoon with waves of kids darting out periodically to the monument then promplty giggling their way back inside. So found the cache bewteen waves. Thanks.The Whoarewiis.

Had to be quiet because of the church service in the hall!

Easy find. Took nothing left nothing.

Nice easy fnd on a hot day.

Good hide, must have looked at it half a dozen times before Geoson picked it up.

Called in on our way to the port stephens tb hotel, coordinates were spot-on so it was a quick find. Logged TB cache on the way to final drop-off. TNLNSL TFTC The Whoarewiis. [289]

Nice easy find - TFTC! (2/23 for the day)

Another boxing day Cache for us.
Found with the help of Geo-nun.
I think she may have had some extra help with our days Caching.
Signed the log and we were off to the next one.
Thanks for the Cache.

we went there today cause we live in medowie we had a good look around the memorial but could not find anything have to go back and have a more thouror look for it

this one is fun

Had to be careful of the muggles in the nearby Community Hall. Ran into a couple of spiders webs then grabbed the cache unnoticeably. Brought the Silver Bullet through.

I had to go to Medowie so did a little bit of caching while I was there. The GPS took a few minutes to zero in on GZ but got there and the cache showed up quickly.

Left Monumental TB.

Thanks.

Well the heavens were obviously playing games with my GPS - unless GZ is 10 metres behind the cyclone fencing at the community hall!
Ignored the GPS and searched around where I thought it would be no luck - will have to have another look next time I head down that way.

A quick find on the way (OK a big side track!) to work.
Left a Cuban 1 peso note. Took nothing.
TFTC

0745 Third time round !! Was on my way to pick my son at the airport, so thought I've have another go. Thought I'd checked there! but obviously not well enough. TFTC
Took a cache critter coin - to at least go temporarily with Baa and Oink cache critters of my own. Also brought along B2B ingot

Found by snikpohks while visiting family in the area - good hide, easy find. tftc

Conducted maintenance. Placed back in orginal location. Wasn't moved far tho.

I looked here, I looked there, I looked just about everywhere - but no cache. So I walked back to the Urban Assault Vehicle (which had also conquered a few sand dunes today), reread the notes and reaslised what sized cache I was looking for, then followed the arrow straight back to the cache - I just needed to let the gizmo get a proper lock! Thanks for showing me the centre of Medowie The Whoarewiis.
