No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

I replaced this cache some months ago after the floods had GZ 2mtrs underwater I checked it today when I noticed that it had been disabled. it is still there in the exact same place as the original. maybe sticking your head in further would help.

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 in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

No good today had good look and feel around but no luck this is the second time it has eluded me.

I replaced this cache with a new one after the floods in the exact same spot. will re check it next time I go to town

Owner has not logged in for a year, nothing happening with this one, needs to go!

Can this be disabled please, it has been confirmed as missing.

I checked in on this cache a few weeks ago as it was under water recently in the floods. cache is gone it is possible it may be in under there somewhere. I will replace with a new cache container/log and some swaps today when I go to town.

Scrambled all over and through the rocks at GZ - no luck. Will return.

Left Cowra early in day heading to Albury. This was our first find on the way down and a quick and easy one at that. The hardest part was getting the lid off it. Just as well we had picked up a screwdriver from an earlier cache. This area is a nice welcome to Cowra. Thanks.

A very impressive gateway. Found after a brief search.

thanks

a quick grab as we headed out of town tftc

No luck here tonight. Looked in all the obvious spots, but no cigar for us. Maybe the recent gardeners here removed the cache?
Might be worth a check.
Cheers

looked everywhere not to found

Looked in all the obvious places at GZ but no go. Will try again when the geokids are around.

This took a bit of a stretch, but all good in the end.
Thanks for the cache!

Easy find with Lordjombob55 on the way north to Lighting Ridge.....

Found this cache pretty easily this morning. As previous logs mention there were lots of bindies, not the most enticing of parks. Nice sized cache so I dropped of a cacher on board geocoin.

Reached in and found it - had a little difficulty prying the lid off. Took GC.
Not a particularly pleasant park, and wouldn't want my kids to run around here too much (if I had any). Prickles galore.

Rated: for Overall Experience

nice spot for a cache. crazy amount of burrs there. picked up my first travel bug left an old penny.

Last cache for Cowra on the way out of town. I wouldn't was to have a break here with no shoes on. The whole place needs to be poisoned and returfed. Was just returning to the car when another pair of cachers showed up. Nice to run into Team Young at Heart in the field.

Pulled up and saw norkmeister heading back to the car, the GPS in hand so I called out, did you find it, had a chat, norkmeister is the second team we have found in the field (not including OZ Mega of course). We found the cache, I need a longer Arm I think but it was a nice size cache so I dropped in a travel bug I picked up on the Gold Coast a few weeks back. TFTC

WOw - talk about prickles at GZ!!! We had to scape our boots on the road and with a stick and put paper down in the car - those were very, very viscious!!

Nice hide on the cache though, I was just about to give up when I pushed in a little further and caught a glimpse out of the corner of my eye of something that just didn't fit. Then I spent a couple of minutes getting the lid off!! I think the cache container has been dropped a time or two and the lid is therefore a bit stiff.

No muggles around GZ so I was able to finally do this one. Exchanged swaps thanks.

Found on our way back to Brisbane after attending the OZ Mega Wagga Wagga Event over Easter. TFTC Szandor

I felt thoroughly welcome and at peace during my search for this cache [^]
TFTC at the gateway

Checked this one out last September on our way through without any luck. Geowife was on the money this time though.
Thanks Szandor

Found on a mega caching trip to Dubbo

Found at 18:35 with frogdude and frogbabe - the second on our trip to Dubbo weekend.

This one took a while longer to find than expected, then a bit longer again to open the cache container - the lid seemed almost welded shut, and it looks like previous cachers have had similar problems because the container is fairly battered around the lid area. Anyhow, we finally got in there to sign the logsheet, but a container rethink is probably due.

Nice area - very green.

Thanks Szandor

Found not so easily. Took a little time. Do think some one reported us as a council worker came out as we were leaving the scene. But we did locate the cache. Logged our 250 finds into cache. TFTF

found it, this has been the biggest cache i have found so far, it had some cool lttle toys in it.

Nice placement. Could see it, which made the reach in from the back my full arms length.

No rock pyphons found with the cache. Must try the japanese food.

Was just about to give up when I managed to spy it.
Too many holes here and we were lucky,
TFTH

I have to say that I did NOT enjoy this one. I thought I knew about where it would be, and I was right. It didn't take too much effort to spot the thing. GETTING it was another matter entirely. Especially as Mr Bunny was nowhere to be seen, and there were spider webs (eeek!!).
Picked up a Geocoin from here, too, although it isn't on the list.

Found it, A good search finally came good Had some trouble but saw it before I could touch it.

Nice and easy.Cheers.

Made a quick detour to here before heading back out of town on another road.

Cheers

GeoTeen and I found this on our long way round from Canberra to Derbys Falls for Jim's godson's eighteenth birthday. This cache was well tucked away and it took a good ten minutes searching before I spotted it. Amazed to find that the last cacher to find it was Tealby from the ACT....small world! TFTC

A relatively easy find after first eye-balling the cache - but I was still not so keen reaching in amongst the spiderwebs! Perhaps I have now cleared them for the next cacher...
TFTC - my last in Cowra.

Found this one coming into Cowra to visit my grandparents, only about 5 mins drive from their place...

Cleverly hidden but not too hard. Ran into some muggles emerging from GZ but I don't think they caught on.

Found this one on my way for a little break in Cowra.

Nice find by Soyajam

What a wonderful entry sign! Mind you, the creators probably didn't think of Geocaching, and created rather a lot of possible hiding places! - Found it in the end! TNLN, TFTC.

Quick find, but damn this area is Grand Central Station in the morning. TFTH

Great hiding spot took a while to find.
TNLN. Thanks.

Have travelled this road a few times but never noticed the sign. Maybe it was because i have been heading south. Found without any trouble.

Nice spot for a cache ! found just on daylight so the torch came in handy ! Logging the cacahe on the way to the next , thanx

Had a bit of time before my work meeting started.

Yes, normally my Gateway, but today, my exit point going to home down Sth, TFTC.

Found by RexTrex if I recall; our final cache for Cowra. Nice spot thanks!

Found with Team McWinTrex on our way south out of town. Ready to move on now and head towards home - but maybe just a few more finds down the road ...

My last find on the way home from a seriously fun weekend of caching in the Bathurst / Orange / Cowra areas. TNLN and TFTC.

1101 - Day 3 of the Bathurst Invasion - on the way home via Orange, Cowra etc...

Last of 106 finds for me during this invasion - a wonderful great time had....

Who put the Tank in the City of Peace cache??

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

1956. Found while the neighbour was doing a bit of autumn cleaning of windows and verandas etc. The Adventra got us up close and personal and RexTrex did the reaching.

TFTC and the farewell to Cowra cache.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Last of our 108 finds over 3 days during our trip to and from Bathurst on our Invasion weekend. Now to head off back to Canberra and a good nights sleep.

Thanks for this cache as well.

We spotted another Canberra team at this one and the cache took a little to uncover but we got there in the end.

Thanks Szandor for the cache.

1323+13=1336 with Captain Tomato #3 of 92 on Bathurst Invasion Weekend

My first trip to Bathurst for 34 years – came up through Booroowa and Cowra and headed home via Oberon and Goulburn. Although with that many caches, my memory has blurred, I have come away with a great appreciation of the countryside and seen more of the towns than if I was doing my normal touristy thing. I have seen historic locations, scenic locations, fun locations, tricky micros, easy micros, evil micros – fantastic.

Thanks Szandor for the fun of the hunt and the break in the drive.

Found at 1130, There were 2 Canberra cacher entries the same day not sure how much earlier. A well hidden cache thanks Szandor.

Found this cache with SecretSquirrel-BJC on our Bathurst Invasion weekend.

Thanks for the chance to come here and enjoy an all too brief stop in Cowra. TFTC

En-route to the Bathurst invasion event and nice to get some caches on the way , I've been this way many a time and it looks like the number of caches is growth and thats always good.
all three of us had some fun searching for this one.

thanks

Bathurst Invasion Weekend. A bit of a scramble and a cache was extracted safely. Thanks.

Found at 1105. After sticking my head and hands in all sorts of nooks and crannies, the cache finally revealed itself. Needless to say, this one could have taken longer, but I'm glad it didn't.

Thanks.

Bathurst Invasion with Albida and mtrax. Got to gz and with three eyes looking was a quick find TFTC

296 Found with a quick stop, probably just luck! Nice spot for a stop and hunt. TFTC

A lovely place to stop and have a rest - beware the cat-heads on the geohounds feet though. Cache found nice and quick in it's little hidey hole.

great spot for a cache

Found it ! This one has been unfound for long enough. I was in town on other business and had a few minutes up my sleeve so I headed out for a look. There were plenty of potential hiding spots but the coords were spot on so the find came quickly. SL Took TB TFTC.
BTW, FTF to the suzukifreaks, go team!

Added a travel bug to this one for the lucky FTF cacher.
