Unfortunately, I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore as advised previously, the cache is being de-listed (Archived) to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

The [**Geocache Maintenance guideline**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains what needs to happen with a Disable cache.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article [**here**](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

If you wish to contact me please send an email via my profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

---------

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

I notice from one or more log entries that this cache would seem to be in need of some help - **there appears to be a need for owner intervention.**

Therefore, the cache is being temporarily disabling so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) I cannot see any log that indicates a recent visit by the CO to this cache.

If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) by **27th September,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?

You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:

- Repair and/or Replace your cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.

- If you don't plan on fixing it up then please [**Archive it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.

- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (by 27th September). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will unfortunately have to de-list (Archive) the cache on the basis that it has been abandoned.

Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

Three of us searched and failed to find it. The neighbour and the owner helped.

Can this get a check?

We were disturbed by a neighbour who knew about the cache, since she'd seen people looking for it in the past. She proudly wanted to show us where it was, but then couldn't find it. Later, we had lunch here and the owner mentioned that she'd seen us looking. She also knew about the cache. When we said it appeared to have gone missing she asked should she replace it. She has been on this website before and knew of other caches in the local area, so we suggested contacting the owner to ascertain their wishes. She may or may not. It might have been a thing of the moment, but she seemed quite positive about having a cache out front.

Found at Easter thanks

Found

Doing a big trip with a heap of gear in tow from goulburn to Dubbo as we are moving there in a week we decided to get most of our belongings to dubbo before we moved and what a perfect opportunity to grab a few caches on roads we don't often travel. Great scenery along the way!

6904 Located by baby&Mrs gopher at 1740 on a drive to Bathurst and further north. The locals were more then helpful here. Had a joke and a yarn with a beer and a wine thrown in. They talked about 2 crazy QLDers that had been there yesterday. Little did we know Liz and Bruce had been here just before us. Cache in good condition. SL Tnx TheWobblys

We have had a wonderful time caching around Bathurst and on the back roads, love the rural scenery. This was one of the caches we targetted and found. Thanks to TheWobblys for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Found with cullum68 on a few days off thanks for the cache

Found with nissan 65 on a few days away caching. Thanku for the cache . Cache replaced. Happy caching

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.
Had a really good look. The publican (who also used to be the local policeman) came out and said "It's been missing for ages." Needs replaced.

Had a really good look. The publican (who also used to be the local policeman) came out and said "are you geocaching?" I said yes and he said "I think it's gone no one has found it for ages". Probably needs checked.

Great pub - we spent a fun Saturday afternoon in there with the locals.

We couldn't find this one.

Fail...

Couldn't find it

Unfortunately we were to early to go inside but found the cache ok
TFTC

Found it en route with our neighbours to Louth Races from Nowra. Stayed overnight as its our neighbours sisters pub! Richtonlea, Wayne at the pub says the motorbike is yours for $500

Neat little spot....had the black lab trying to lick me to death as he/she sat in the general area. Cache was soon grabbed though and all was good.

Thanks TheWobblys......neat little stump.

#4710 - 12:00; Off on another day run with Sol de lune. This time we are headed to Blayney via Goulburn and Crookwell and many small towns in between. A few more in the 'History of.....' series are on the radar, along with any other caches along our planned route. We had now reached Trunkey Creek and parked the geomobile outside the local watering hole to grab this cache. Managed the find before continuing on our way. TFTC TheWobblys

hmmmm couldnt find it, but hubby was eyeballing a discarded motorbike across the road, wants to buy it lol

Found without help from the locals . Apparently, from reading logs, many know about this.
There was only one very elderly man sitting outside the pub. He asked me if I had lost something. I said yes. He replied that it had been very windy lately and he could understand that. I kept searching and he went back to his beer. TFTC TheWobblys.

Found with help from local

Cheers!

Several drinkers sitting out the front right next to GZ. Gave it a miss...

**Smilie #3668**

Linden/6 & Immyky, heading from Brisbane to ACT, following a few windmills along the way.
It would NOT be right to ignore all the caches en-route! LOL ...
Day 3, Orange to Goulburn.
Our 55th cache on this trip.

After a few minutes of serious searching it was Geo-Mamma who claimed the find.
All quiet here & we just beat a motorcycling muggle who arrived as we wandered back to the Geo-beast.
Left our mark & replaced as found.

**TFTC Wobblys **

Leaving Canberra for Bathurst, we decided to "go direct" and pick up some caches north of the Hume Highway.

As we were standing on the footpath outside the Pub, we heard a call from up the road: "Are you looking for the little tube?" "It's .......". Then when signing the log book, the Publican came out and inquired as to what we were doing. Of course we had to explain what we were doing and what the benefits were for his Pub. He was enthralled!

Found at 2.40pm on 2nd January 2016. TFTC.

Found it!

Had a little bit of help from a local tftc

Nice location. Easy find. Cache needs a bit of attention, looking a bit soggy.

Arrived just in time for the pub to open. Quick and easy find with Snow.15

Quick find. Tftc

Tftc

A nice easy find while passing through on our way home.
Thanks.

Top spot for a linger and a lager

Visited with NSW Lone Rover Crew and others.

The Log sheet is full and needs replacement

Found along with the NSW Lone rover crew and a couple of muggles. Pick the wrong time of day and the job might seem impossible, but after a friendly prod in the right direction by a couple of locals enjoying their local, we were in and out in record time.

Found with 4 old members in attendance

TFTC and a great Weekend !

Tftc

Found it with a little local support. TFTC TheWobbys

Found at 8.55

Found with the help of a local.

TFTC

Found it! Out clocking up some driving hours for the geokid. Got a bit of help from the locals It's hard to be inconspicuous when everybody knows what you're up to Log is damp but I signed it anyway. TFTC
suzukifreak_1

found with imgettingannoyed

had to play the annoyed partner as imgettingannoyed had to retie both his shoe laces

WOW this one was a toughy!

the cache was very quickly located, however extraction was nearly impossible due to some muggles sitting almost on top of the cache enjoying a beer.

bought an ice cream from the pub sat and ate it slowly hoping for the muggles to move on. well that was a failed idea!

so we decided to leave it , but it's not like this one is just down the road so i was very annoyed that we were going to leave it. So i employed the re-tie shoelace method, grabbed the cache hurriedly signed the log in the first place i found and then stuffed it back.

So hopefully the ache is still there

found by imgettingannoyed and Alex Mclellan as part of the Scouts Australia Geocaching Competition

A nice quick find today which was great after a DNF nearby (again!!).
The log was a little damp but not too bad.

TFTC. Sorry I've taken so long to log the find.

Watch out for smokers! TFTC

There were enough of us to mill about and grab this one without being spotted (We think). TFTC

Nicely hidden and we were able to grab it without being seen. Thanks.

Locals seemed to be oblivious to the loitering cachers, but were probably watching from inside through the window.

Found it after an early morning road trip from Tuena. Found with LonelyRA

An early morning run up as when we were here last week muggles were schooner in hand over GZ. TFTC SL

Did not even bother to get out of the car for this one. We saw the Black Stump, but we also saw a lot of blokes and a lot of motorbikes right near GZ. As such we left it for next time.

Sigh!

The cycling duo were unable to locate early in the morning.

Too many muggles - lovely sunny day and they were everywhere!

No horses about today, or muggles, except Santa, his just hanging around , cache located quickly.

Now heading to Brisbane for a Speedway meeting, I picked this up as I traveled the back roads. Very hard to search without being noticed. I had a yarn to a couple of old timers enjoying a drink on the front porch. They knew about the cache and the "weird" people who turn up looking for it. tftc.
Cv.

Found after a short search. A nice small town. A guy was staring at us from the pub. TFTC

Found it while traveling through the area, lucky action at the pub was a bit slow
TFTC

Found this while out caching with The-Don.

We were in the area for a week while staying at The Black Stump Hotel, Trunkey Creek.

Thanks Wobblys

Very quiet around town at this time of morning!
We all had a look, but Webguy came up with the goods. Saw an interesting frog in one little hidey hole.

Thanks.

2am

No one around to wonder what we were up to. Webguy extracted the cache from its spot.

Cheers

Yes, it was 2am when I pulled this one from its hiding spot. No horses, no people, no dogs, no mosquitoes, seems everything was tucked up in bed!

Cheers

Bathurst 11. I am not sure how I missed this one last time. I am glad I only noticed the pub was open after I had finished the business. Thanks.

Out for a weekend's caching with Black Bunny. We could have chosen better weather - it rained and hailed and poured and there was thunder and lightning, and we got wet and muddy, and had no dry clothes to put on. On top of that, we took the dogs, so we had wet muddy dogs, with that distinctive wet dog smell, in the car all weekend as well. Black Bunny was very keen to get a few caches, as his average was dropping, whatever that means! I think we managed that, as he came home with a smile on his face.

The first find of the day on a run to Orange with Just a Cacher. Pulled up at GZ and after a quick search we soon had the cache in hand. SL TFTC

Tftc. Just before finding I was sprung by a local Muggle. Lol. She knew what this was about with friends into caching. Quick find while she looked the other way.

Found this while everyone was looking the other way during the Annual Trunkey Show. It would require a lot of stealth if people were enjoying the view at the pub!
Tied up my 'hos' as directed for a quick find. TFTC!

It looked like there would not be many places to look but i could not find a cache. Albida

I approached GZ with my GPS and had made a decision about where I would look first, when one of the chair-warmers sitting outside said to me "That must be a good GPS - you're really close" Really good icebreaker that was. Abandoned my plan to sit on the gutter and retie my boot lace. Grabbed the cache and then had a chat with the locals. Although one knew all about caching, the other three were completely new to it. After showing them a handful of Geocoins, I think we may have some new cachers in the pipeline. Really fun afternoons entertainment. TFTH

I found this cache on a quick trip to Goulburn, I was limited for time but while I was in town, had to look for this one. Soon had the cache in hand but I was hoping that I didnt have a red back spider in hand as well! Cachers beware of redbacks especially if geokids are looking. Great spot for a cache though, nobody was around so my efforts werent under scrutiny! TFTC

Arrived at the black stump to find they were having their xmas party for social club members, so we were stuffed.

What better to do than sit back on a hot day and have a couple of quite ones, and very nice they were too. Decided I would just have a little wander and next thing I know the publican is saying "mate right idea, wrong spot". With a point of his finger the cache was soon in hand and no one was wiser apart from geowife and the pub owner.

Had a good yarn with him and it turns out his cousin caches and found the one there. He thinks it is very cool.

So for any new people going for this one, stop and have a chat and maybe a cold one. Neat place, neat people.

This is a must for Budokan as I know he enjoys a gin and cider in relaxed country pubs. On your hit list mate.

TFTC SL

The last one on my trip, GC at least. Found a shortcut from Neville & soon had the cache in hand. The locals were all inside enjoying a cool beer on a hot day. I quenched my thirst, until Tuena at least, with a squash. Thanks.

Geowife ran decoy by taking the kids in for an icecream. Was able to park next to this one and with an open door reachd out and grabbed this one.
JABs.

I guess the afternoon of the NRL Grand Final wasn't the best time to attempt this one. Two locals, decked out in their Parramatta Eels gear were keeping the seats outside the pub warm, and weren't looking like they were going anywhere soon. Maybe I'll pass by again one day. Thanks anyway Wobblys.

Found this cache at 12:30pm on our way home from Bathurst to the Southern Highlands. Caching as we go. We were looking forward to having a chichen schnitzel for lunch, but they don't do lunches anymore.
Great little town.
Thanks The Wobblys for the hide.
The Bushies.

We came out just up the road and thought we might grab a cache ! very quick sign and dash, thanx for the stop ! we have been here many times

I was waiting for the other team, who found this one 3 hours before me, to log their first to find but thought it would be better to log it so others don't try and only get Third to find.
Even with a local sitting at the window having his afternoon refreshment, this one proved easy to locate an grab.

YAHOOO!!! the first FTF for the M SITE crew. Was a coincidence that we found this new listing when browsing the site, this cache is close to our HQ so took a detour on the way to town on the off chance that we'd get there first. This will always be a tricky cache with peole about (but that is all part of the challenge). After locating, "sneaked" off to the ute to leave our mark.
Thankyou
