As there has been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it has been a number of months since the last owner note 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 (next 30 days), just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will 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.

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. 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. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every month or so to keep everyone up to date.

looks like this needs checking by the owners

Lovely walk but alas......no cache at the end of the rainbow. Tried the base of lot's of big trees....

We had a good look and right where our gps was telling us to look we found a suitable spot at the base of a big tree with a few rocks close by. This was the only spot matching the description plus having the right amount of rocks so close by leads us to believe it's been muggled. We have emailed michael's mob hoping to get confirmation etc.

Found some dead animals near GZ but unfortunately no cache. We will watch future logs with interest.

Two sets of eyes had a very good look for this with no luck. Plenty of likely spots but no cache. Expanded the search area, still nothing. Asked the horses over the fence but they where no help.

Any chance of getting confirmation this is still here?

Got to WP1 to be met by a couple of quackers, plus an assortment of hens and roosters - all very friendly - who kept me company while I worked out the maths. Then set off on a lovely walk to GZ, found what looked like the correct spot according to the hint, but turned up nothing. Will email MM with my coords to check that I WAS in the right place (always suspicious, with my mathematical ability - or lack thereof!) but I fear this may have gone AWOL.
The walk was certainly worth it though, so its a shame it doesn't get more frequent visitors.

This gave our brains a workout. Worked out the correct co ords and found cache easily TNLN TFTC

Any easy find once we worked out the maths! Very pleasant walk on a good day. Thanks.

After several abortive efforts - left our data at home, pouring - we finally made it. TNLN. Ta Michael's mob.

Great day for a walk, the ducklings were there and that was cool. Took a while to work out B but due to cheating and asking Google it was solved in no time!

Completed find at 9:05 am. Beautiful morning for a walk. Especially after big night prior. Tftc tnln.

Headed up the track towards gz, after a while I realized I should be on the other track on the other side of the creek. I jumped the creek or more correctly into the creek .No LOL A bit wet but I had the correct cords and this made for an easy find. TNLN Thanks

Late afternoon when I rocked up to my 3rd Michaels Mob multi.
I obtained the required info at WP1 and crunched some numbers in the warmth of the car.
Fairly confident with my calculations I headed off and surprised myself with an easy find. Maybe Im not such a dumb blonde after all
Dark when I got back to the car but I still had 3 more caches I wanted to find before the event that evening.
Thanks Michaels Mob

This was our most difficult search for today. WP1 was found quite easily and the required information retrieved. After calculating where WP2 should be, we set off but couldn't find anything within about 70m which was consistent with the clue. We eventually ignored our calculations and concentrated on the clue. After about 30 minutes the cache was found and logged. We have referred our calculations and the coordinates where we found the cache to the owner for comment. TFTC
PS Thanks to michaels mob we have learnt the error of our ways - check the format of dates, it varies between countries. With this correction, coordinates for WP2 are calculated correctly.

It would have been a shorter walk had I had a map to look at before setting off. A nice walk anyway and an obvoius spot for a hide. Very peaceful late in the day. TNLN

Great day for a walk. Geopup found the cache with the hint only.

I think I looked for and maybe found? your old cache here so it was good to return on a lovely afternoon and do this multi.
As usual it was a well thought out route to GZ once I did my maths.
TNLN
Thanks Michael's Mob.

Lovely little walk on a beautiful day.
Many thanks.

A peaceful walk in the twighlight. Why is it with caches is that if you can go two ways to a cache you always seem to take the long way??? The long way still was a very nice walk with plenty of birds and a wallaby or two! TNLN TFTC

Enjoyed the multi as they always give the grey matter a workout. TN as we had no key rings!! TFTC

Memories of another cache in what seems like ages ago now. Extracted info..then GPSr was telling me to go south for 500m...yer right...as if...but knowing the Mobs caches I thought it was a distinct possibility...started heading off....then finally it made up its mind to go east... vaguely remember going this way before. Shortish walk to nab the cache...birds calling from all over...so peaceful. Good spot for a stroll...TFTC MM...Cheers.

Grabbed the info and went back to the car to work it out.
A lovely stroll around the area and soon I was at GZ. A quick look around and the cache was discovered, logged and returned.
Continued around the path and I wondered abot how big this area actually is.
Thanks for showing me a great area, MM

Perhaps it should be quack quack quack it's back as three ducks waddled up the path towards us as we headed off to find this cache! Took the lower track first only to find it completely submerged in water. Backtracked and went cross country to the higher track. Then 1 mightly leap over a very swollen creek to nab the cache. TNLN. Thanks.

Thanks Michaels Mob for this great themed cache. The whole family really enjoyed the challenge. The dog loved the run but alas came back covered in buzzies. Junior cacher liked the look of Tiger land key ring so swapped out this and left Koalas Australia key ring. Thanks again.

Nice easy find after reading the the description a couple of times and using a calculator.




thnx MM

I am still amazed that after living in and around a city most of your life there are still places you dont even know about. I am sure it is also a nice place but under the cover of darkness and the fog giving very limited visibility I almost had to feel my way around so didnt get much of a look. I was convinced when i saw a vehicle at the other carpark that I had been beaten to the FTF, when I arrived at GZ I have seen some movement and reflection from my torch so I call out Gday, no reply! bit rude!! OH, its a cow!!! Thanks for another fun cache MM
