As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. 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/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Went for a ride on my bike to check on the cache and sure enough it is gone. Why anyone would won't to steal on old screw top container with some trinkets in it is beyond me. Anyway thanks for the email, I am going to disable this cache and see what I can come up with.
 
14-Nov-13
Tried to find it today but we are nearly 100% sure its not there anymore. Maybe the ownner could check it?
 
27-Sep-13
Maybe a case of severe cache blindness but I couldn't find it today. A convenient place to stop for the geokids on our drive to bundy.

Cheers

Found at 2:26 PM GAFF1. We came the back way to this one although it would have been a lot easier to access it from the Bruce Hwy. When we found the large container we found that it did not have one TB or GC in it! What sort of motel is this one Razz
ps - the old cloth is being used as a bit of camo nowWink
Thanks mick & Kaz.

On our way to Hervey Bay we stopped in here to grab this one and drop off Red Brian TB which has travelled all the way from the UK and is heading for Airlie Beach. I had originally picked it up while in Adelaide and dropped it off at the Gold Coast but happened upon it again while heading north for the weekend. TFTC

Borrowed a bike from friends and came out from the 23rd Australian Scout Jamboree on a ride to pick up a couple of caches to round off hunting in Maryborough. Was wondering about wriggly sticks as GZ was approach so looked for geo paths, found one but it turned out to be the wrong one. Soon though the awesome container was in hand. Picked up the Lone Scout TB, so yes a geoscout has taken it for a run down south in ACT.
Thanks for all your hides in town Mick & Kaz, was very pleased to find them while visiting your place.

Did this cache while attending AJ2013 (Scout Jamboree) at the local Showground on a very hot day. Lots of cars going past to attend to the Jamboree and saw the likely place to hide a cache once I approached GZ, TFTCM

Farewell Maryborough, farewell AJ2013, farewell Lone Scout TB. Thought it appropriate to leave you in Maryborough with the Jamboree. Maybe a Geoscout will pick you up as they leave. TFTC
 
09-Jan-13
I am sure that I will be one of many, many Scouters to have find this during the AJ2013 camp.

Cheers

Found it. Drove almost 2200 kms North to see our son at the Scout Jambouree at Maryborough QLD. We have arrived and did this cache to find out where he was. We'll be back tomorrow to see him on Visitors day. SL TNLN TFTC
 
05-Jan-13
There were four or five GCA movables outside the main highway gate of the Jamboree, so I headed out on a walk to grab them in the heat. Once found, I realised this was just over a Km away, which gave me an excuse to not only down the highway walk to grab the find, but also gave me a chance to place the set of bingo movables in a new spot for another AJ person to fins, while at the same time getting a possible couple of bingo squares completed (I never get around to checking if they were the right numbers to actually do so).
Arriving near GZ, the geotrail took me to the wrong spot at first, before I realised I needed to follow the next trail as well, at which point the find was easy.

Grabbed the trackable, which moved on at the GCA meet & greet the next day.

Thanks for the cache.

Found with datruck, saulman1010 & team coxy on a day off from AJ2013. What a way to get away from 8500 screaming scouts - caching rocks.

We were on holidays in Woodgate (without an internet connection, so we are logging late), and today was time to go home Sad But we thought we'd grab some caches on the way Smile

We had this one on the GPSr, so we stopped nearby. But what a trek to get there! Through knee-high grass with JZ (kid #3) on my back... eventually we got there... to find it right beside a road. Arrghhh! Well, the road didn't appear on *my* GPSr! Anyway, after a short search I found the cache, in the second spot I looked. All nice and dry. And because I didn't know where the roads went, another trudge back thought the grass...

17/08/2012 22:20 6 of 8. Now I have arrived in Maryborough and passing the Transport officers checking the large trucks in bot the North and South directions. I found this was the closet cache so I stopped on the Showgrounds road and went bus. I was approaching from the back so saw the hide immediately and despite the large size and screw lid the original logbook was soaked and so I signed the new log from Liz and Bruce. I used the more open track to exit the bush area. I was hoping no-one would get funny about my parking on the curve but no-one even slowed down. TFTC mick & Kaz TNLN SL

Travelling from Bundaberg to Maryborough we were able to collect this cache. Nice to have a reason to stop. We were interested to see that we could stay overnight at the showgrounds nearby along this road with a power site costing $15.00.
Thanks to mick & Kaz.
 
07-Aug-12
I'm not surprised that no TB is at this motel. Its damp & need some TLC.
A quick find

Parked and then realised we should go around the back which we did and a quick stroll to GZ. Found quickly.

TFTC
 
17-Jun-12
Bit of a bush bash led us to the cache with the co-ords being absolutely spot on. No TBs in cache.
 
08-Jun-12
Container is certainly big enough for swaps but did not leave any travellers because it had water in it. We drained the water but it needs a visit to dry it out properly. TFTC.
 
26-Feb-12
Gps decided not to work to within 30m, what a radius to work with. After sloshing thru all the water here, finally found it. Much larger than I ever imagined. Lost my exchange token. So nino. Tftc

Smile0645 First for the day, an east find on the way to the showgrounds for a festival today. Thanks to Fangsoki I was first to sign the new log. I did manange to drain some moisture out of the cantainer, but at 0645 the air is still very damp, needs drying out throughly in the near future.

This was my last find while caching in Maryborough. I found some suitable parking and made my way into GZ. I found the cache after a small hunt. Unfortuantely, it was quite wet, including the log. The log had gotten to the "slimey" stage Sad I went back to the car and got a new log book and plastic bag. I have left the old log book in the cache for the owner. The cache is still a bit damp - but at least it has a dry log book. TFTC mick & Kaz Smile
 
Found during our Great Aussie Adventure Road Trip. Signed log: TNGD. TFTC!

Pulled off the highway here to find this cache on our way home from a very successful event in Bundaberg today. We were on a high from the event and needed to do a few caches. This was one. Found the easier way in and found the cache safe and happy in it's hiding spot. Thanks mick & Kaz for the cache.

Found as a part of Team SaintsMadHouse and now that the kids have grown we each have our own accounts to finddd geocaches with separately wherever we go!2nd time lucky for us! After looking on the google maps we had a better idea where to look. Found it easily after talking the wide track in to find after the cache that there was a geotrail just 20 metres south that would have saved us having to clean all the grass spurs off our clothes. Took a TB and left 3 TBs.

We decided to take a drive to Maryborough today and look for a few old multis for which we had obtained final coordinates some time ago, but had not yet visited GZ. We took the opportunity to also search for this cache and took a TB and geocoin. TFTC Mick & Kaz

One could say this Hotel is lucky to still be standing, there has been a rather large fire in the area, the fire men must have been aware of its importance.
Found on our way from Childers to Elanda Point for a few days camping.
Took Nothing
Left Two bugs and a coin

Our great running record for the day was gone. No luck on this one and lost satellite! that hasn't happened before. kept trying for half an hour with the cover dropping in and out and left. Followed what looks like a large wide geotrail and looked in the obvious spots, no luck.
