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.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am 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 28 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 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

No luck for me so DNF for me. Thanks

Going by the NMs and pleas to replace this cache, and nothing has been done, it may need to be archived.

Found but cache really needs a update
As if stuffed.

Found cache....it's cactus

Thank you for this wonderful cache. It was a beautiful place in an incredible country.

A quick find after initially looking in completely the wrong spot. this marks day 53 of my present streak. TNLN TFTC will need desperate maintenance - container buggered and log decomposing

Cache was rusted and full of water with no lid on container
Log still in cache but destroyed by the rust and water
Looks like it was replaced upright with no lid at sometime.

Will need to be replaced totally unusable

Had lunch in the park while waiting for geokid who was at a party, thought I would have a look even though there were a few DNF,s
Found the cache but totally cactus and unsignable.

Several DNF. Can CO replace, check or Archive.

Searched & searched for this one last night & couldn't find it anywhere/. The kookaburra was having a good old laugh at us.

is it still here

Is it still here

Found it thanks for the cache. Needs to be replaced

Missing, couldn't find it... Presume it's been taken away to be fixed

Nice quick find. Had to be a little stealthy though. TFTC.

Yep

TFTC...Cache is a little rusty but secure. Take care the little birdie doesn't get ya....

Tftc

Needs a lot of love.

Having done the where I go nearby we saw the D level and thought we should try. A look at past logs suggested the cache was not in the best condition and on the way out. We parked close and waiting for a gap with the muggles. We then let the GPSr settle and being near an obvious spot we steeped in and made the find of the black wrapped mint tin in the first place we looked. We opened up the log and it appears a number of recent finders are not signing or finding the original cache and log. See photo attached. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC

In Kurri Kurri for work today, so detoured here in the morning...nice little park with some interesting features...but sadly I couldn't find a cache today (or a snap lock bag...though there is a bit if rubbish I didn't investigate closely).

Found

Found it!

Had to stop for lunch and a cache. Thanks Acko

Found during a morning mountain bike assault on a few caches around Kurri. (well at least found the zip-lock bag). I had to content with a nerf gun toting kid and his muggle family on the other side of the hedge. Im sure the large statue was having a good laugh at my expense. Many thanks Team Woodbats

1045 Not sure how MVMtBiker got to log this one and I missed out, and on going through my log book noted that I found p11 - 12 of logs, but not sure what had happened to the rest of the log book.
Brought through for mileage: 12-12-12 Event, 3 Bros NSW, Auckland NZ'13, B 2 B Travel ingot, Iconic Bridges 2012, cache critters Baa, Neigh Neddy, and Oink, NZ Mega 2013 GCookie Coin, and trackable shirts.
TFTC Team Woodbats - sorry about the late logging - 9/2/14

Found it, but a little confused about what, and how much we found!
Cookie had been sitting down trying to look inconspicuous feeling around for the cache, while I was taking some photos, when he found a page from 11 - 12 of the geocache log book. So we placed that in a ziploc bag I had, and hide that.

Headed North to The Hunter Valley early this morning to Kurri Kurri, Cessnock, Belbird and Paxton in company with ALL7 to do some exploring and hopefully find some caches. Great cache. TFTC

Parked here for a couple of minutes on our way to christmas lunch. Saw the amazing Kookaburra sculpture and knew instantly there would be a cache here. Unfortunately couldn't find it. Am sure we will be back to try again sometime!

Second time lucky! I (Chukymum) sat down and inconspicuously felt around the area behind me, trying to avoid Muggle stares. Within a short time, I felt a familiar shape and voila!

Glad to finally mark this one off - DNFs sit and mock me

TFTC Team Woodbats!

Parked at bakery.
very busy bakery.
must be good stuff.
I liked the giant kookaburra,
should have put it in him.
TFTC!!

Quick find thanks for bringing Us here. The log is wet and may need replacing

looking for close to the road quick one's in the dark, not this time.

Didn't find it

We'll try again another day. - A lot of teenagers were staring at us too.

Found cache in Rotary Park. Clever spot.

Haven't been up this way for yonks, found 11 for the journey before I had to return to Newcastle via Darby's Pies (Curried Beef, yum!), TFTC Team Woodbats!!

Found it - heaps of muggles but no problem - needs maintenance.
Tftf

Was in Kurri Kurri for a 3 day training event. The venue was the Community Centre, right across the road from this cache. So, one morning before the training I went looking for it - as it happened, the same day that the market was being set up, so had to be a bit stealthy.

Lots of muggles. Gave up.

Had a look for this one this morning on the way to Richmond Vale was running early so thought it a good chance with no muggles about the last couple of times I was here it was muggle city.
After searching around a bit where the gpsr was pointing happened to look closer to the edge and found the cache lying in the garden on the wood chips out in plain sight.
Took back to car to sign the log found ScoobyDooMysteryTeam new log and signed old one is a mess.
Replaced cache back in what looks to be the hiding space the gps was showing.
Thanks Team Woodbats.

Got to clean up an old DNF! Found in logical spot but in need of some love. Co ords very good. Cheers from Sydney

Rated: for Overall Experience

We found it after looking around for quiet a while.
And ended up in the same spot where we started.
We even looked in the hole up the cooks b_ _ t.

Done at night time.
The only muggles that were around were a whole heaps of oldies getting on a bus across the road.

This was a great hide however it desperately needs maintainance.
The paper inside was completely wet so I didn't even try to unravel it.
I just put it back in the plastic bag and added my own paper and message for anyone else who comes along to find it.
The note says that it is a Geo cache and please sign your name below until the owner is able to maintain it.

Hope thats okay.

Me again
Just adding a "found it" because our total caches found total didnot go up.

Thanks Team Woodbats

Tftc. Found with Kano555

Quickly found where i didn't want to put my hands, quite wet so didn't sign the log, found with WebbyHRT, tftc

Very very wet log had to sign bag needs maint tftc

Arrived at 3:50pm

Though this was the perfect day and time to go searching for this cache, we just didn't have enough time left in the day to spend searching for this cache.
Without a hint or any other information other than it was a micro and without having a GPS that worked properly, we had to give up on this one and leave it as a DNF.
Better luck next time I suppose.

Had a go at this one yesterday but had to abandon the idea when a muggle came along and sat down for lunch will try again another day

TFTC. Found on second attempt.

heaps of muggles was a good find

After spending the morning at the Maitland markets it was time to do some caching. We were organized today and even had a list of caches we were hoping to find. This was one of them and we enjoyed the hunt. The kookaburra told us where to look.
Thanks to Team Woodbats.

In the dead of night and not a muggle insight I nabbed the cache and got the hell out of there before the kookaburra could give me away. TFTC

Our 6561st overall find.

A quick little grab today with no muggles about. I didn't even know about the Kookaburra here.

Thanks Team Woodbats for the cache.

This is a lovely town, we even picked up some of the rubbish around the cache. The Kookaburra is fantastic! TFTC.
Cheers,
GrimRaider

Too many muggles. Lunch time on a week day is surprisingly busy. Found a skittles container but it was completely empty. Hoping that wasn't it. Will search again soon.

Lovely park with lots to see. Great kookaburra and plaques to read. Loved the placement for this one tho would be tricky when more muggles around. TFTC ??

What a great little town, I love all the murals & the big Kookaburra.
Didn't take long to find this little one
TFTC Team Woodbats

Easy find with no one in sight, thanks guys. SL

Muggles, Muggles everwhere, Will return

Took us a surprisingly long time to find this one. Was about to leave when one last look yielded success.

Quick find while strolling arround Kurri Kurri. TFTC

Doing a little caching in Kurri area this afternoon and hoping the rain stays away. High muggle activity so had to keep backing off till the coats was clear enough to have a dig around. Poked about in a few spots until we had it. Thanks Team Woodbats.

this one took some time in the middle of the day, had an idea where it was, just had to wait until muggles cleared before grabbing, harder to put back as it was coming up to school time. managed it just. TFTC

Tftc quick find .

It was a great afternoon for a ride and geocaching was a good excuse to head up this way.

This time I found the cache with out any problems I don't know how I missed it the first time. It must have been the suprise that I got when I saw one of my releatives is one of kurri's finest.

Great hide found on a cache finding spree while staying in the singleton area early last week
Tftc

After searching twice before and living 5 min down the road a decision was made for a night mission to finally find this cache. Using no torches and nothing but our hands the prize was ours within moments. How had we not found it earlier?

To avoid suspicion, I pretended to take a photo of geowife while she retrieved the cache. Why we'd be taking a photo in that particular spot I don't know. Perhaps we just love tidy towns.

Interesting park

In town for the speedway. Found this before getting directions to the track. tftc.

Quick find a a big day out with headchef, spikeymikey & Luke. Brings back memories of playing in the Maitland Coalfields Junior comp, thanks for the hide Team Woodbats.

Nicely hidden!! Took us about 3 times to actually find it though

Finally found! Tophodin made the find in the end. Kicking ourselves we didn't get it earlier. TFTC!
Nice kookaburra.

Found while being watched by the nearby Kookaburra. Spotted the cache and made a quick grab to avoid the passing foot and car traffic in the street. TFTC.

Accompanied ALL7
Nice hide
Thanks Team Woodbats for the hunting and cache

certainly some fine gentleman here
and a MASSIVE 3 m high kookaburra
(quite exciting for the kids)

fattyacid and family

Enjoyed the visit back to Kurri [lived here 20 years ago]and enjoyed the cache area.
Nice hot day to drop off Roo and Birdie.TB's
TFTC

We were invited up here to the hunter valley by the local commercial balloonists.
It was their 30 anniversary of flying in the valley so 30 balloons were invited.
A fantastic weekend was had and some caching thrown in was an excellent way to fill the day.
another nice park, thanks for bringing us here.

Cheers for the Cache.

Found with my brother and my dad.

Fund with dad, my brother and some friends.

Another quick find for my son, he was in good form today. We took some nice touristy pictures of the kids in front of the kookaburra as we strolled around this nice park.

Thanks Team Woodbats .

I like this park, every time you turn around there is something different to look at.TFTC.

Bedawn was pointing out some of the murals in this town to me, and apart from the giant kookaburra, I noticed some even in this park. A pretty part of the world. I was still dithering around when Toriaz's eldest found it. Thanks

#9 lol - so many fine achievements in the area - an the footballers get the title of finest! Originally thought the kookaburra might have had a red face, but after a brief look a discrete hide was found

Found on a trip with Blue_Mars, AH and all the Familys.

TFTC was simple to find in the daylight

DNF though it was at night

Found - TFTC

Reperio at 1310. With the weather continuing to bring rain for the day, it was great to be able to park so close to GZ. The one good thing about the rain is that it kept everyone away from the area, so it made finding the cache nice and easy. After signing off on the log, I couldn't resist having a closer look at the kookaburra...What a great piece of artwork...not to mention the murals painted on the nearby toilet block and shops across the street. Had a read of the history here too. Great spot.

Gratias Team Woodbats.

Lovely park - took lots of photos - loved the big kookaburra! I tossed the sodden log & just left the dry one - should be easier to remove from the container now. TFTC.
