[center][u]MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?[/u][/center]
[navy]This cache would appear to be in need of owner intervention, therefore I am temporarily disabling it 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.

Geocache maintenance is a cache owner responsibility. Your prompt attention to any log that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers, see here http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance
The guidelines advise; "if you can't check/fix it straight away then Disable it till you can." and here's how; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235

Please respond to this situation within 28 days to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (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 28 days so as to keep everyone up to date, or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

And don't forget, once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404 and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 to get your cache up and running again.[/navy]

Had a good look around but no joy
 
30-Nov-15
I am sure I had my coordinates right but no sign of the cache. There were a couple of Muggles probably wondering if I was a health inspector with my blue clip board and Magellen.
 
22-Sep-15
Not a nice location
 
06-Sep-15
Searched for 5 minutes - no luck ! Since there's plenty of DNF's before me - I guess it isn't there anyway.
 
29-Aug-15
Second DNF today. Frustrating.
 
11-Aug-15
No muggles around today when I came back for my second search. Again could not find it. Only one find for the last nine searches but I guess that does not mean that it is not there. I will try again another day.
 
08-Jul-15
Difficult to do a detailed search today as muggles everywhere. Despite that it is obviously well hidden. I will return at a quieter time as I like a challenge.
 
03-Jul-15
Searched high and low for a no show. Hope its not in the oil drop area as that's not very safe, maybe next time.
 
13-Jun-15
Very statigic. Loved it!
 
17-May-15
I think this is long gone. Not a particularly pleasant area with leaking diesel cans and dead end car park. Moving on to better sites.
 
28-Apr-15
Checked high and low, but not a fan of smelly rubbish areas. Gave up and went in search of local information instead.
 
27-Apr-15
No luck couldn't see any mint - Better check up . So add my DNF TwistedTwistedTwisted

QLD Mega trip 2015 with Sol de Lune. On this almost 400km road trip we drove from Canberra to Stanthorpe caching in all the towns along the way with mostly great success. Around the Mega there were heaps of caches to be done including a few power trails. Despite the weather we got all of the planned caches done.

Day thirteen and it was time to head home. We drove from Stanthorpe to Moree via Warialda. Most of the caching was at Warialda, including the highlight, the walk around the reserve. There were a few other fun ones during the day as well. We had a good look here, but did not manage to turn up a cache. Thanks.

Quickest, easiest find ever Team K and S. Exciting tho to find the one and only Inverell cache.

Magpiecottage and I, baby birt, have started a new log sheet for the New Year because all old logs are chockers. Suggest cache owners collect old log sheets as container is getting pretty full.

What a lovely park to visit on our way from Moree to the coast.

Was not sure if i had actually done this cache...looked through the logs to find earthly's log and noticed six people have double logged on this one...that must be a record...ha
 
05-Oct-14
Nice coffee at the info centre after sorting out the cache.
 
05-Oct-14
Found with no problem. Plenty of muggles near info centre but not interested in us.
 
04-Oct-14
Now heading south on a long trip home, we have the caravan on the back so it's not always possible to stop for a search. We parked the caravan to stop for lunch but first, of course, we had to look for the City's 1st Micro. A little cautious because a couple of muggles were sitting at the nearby table but Mrs spotted it and had it in hand at 1.15 pm. Thank youforthe hunt, Team K and S, TNLNSL.

After too many months(even years) of not being able to travel due to health issues, we finally hooked up the van and headed off.
Day four found us in the Showgrounds at Moree.
Next morning it was on to Inverell and then north again.
Stopping here we walked into the town and bought a sausage and onion from a street stall, went to Coles and then back for a quick find and sign.
Nice town, I like it.

We've been staying at Copeton Dam with some muggle friends and today has been the first day we've been able to cache as we head home. Unfortunately it is raining so we'll only be doing park and grabs. All is nice and dry with the cache and now for a stroll over to the cafe for a coffee. TFTC.
 
05-Apr-14
First of many we hope - thanks for this one.
 
05-Apr-14
We always stop by to visit the great visitor centre, so the cache makes it an even better experience. Thanks.

Quiet Sunday, so snuck over from the Tourist Info with no muggles around, TFTC.
 
We arrived near GZ, but there were 2 families there for the long haul. We went and had a coffee, and look through the info centre. Luckily we went in for the dive when we did. Signed the log, and then the same family came back to the same set of seats. How lucky we were to get our names in that log, and go unnoticed. TFTC.
 
25-Aug-13
Thanks for this one, its not only the first but just about the only one. Enjoyed our stay in the town.
