One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result 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, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 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.

The CO hasn't logged in for a looooong time Wink 2 yrs and 4 months to be exact. I consider that it is highly unlikely that anything is going to happen by 7 Feb!

TFTC a nice quick find
 
20-Jun-13
After 'untold'attempts at finding this cache it NICE to cross it off the close list of caches to qualify for a Challenge cache in Sydney. (Well, one more to find)
Seems the replacement cache is well covered, and so I hope it survives, especially if the real cache has been muggles. Found about 8 m from where the GPSr showed GZ to be.
Dry and intact. Hedge Hopper TB thru

16-Jun-13
After MVMtBiker had mentioned that he had tried to find this one to keep his streak going, and being unsuccessful, I went and had a look myself. If it still 'there' it may be a lot further away than the 15 m radius that I checked out.
Placed another container and logbook there, so it would be interesting to know if it still there, and whether at GZ, or has it 'migrated'.
 
18-May-13
Nice and dry TFTC

Finally after many weekend and night walks I finally found it. Hidden very well. Dropped TB. TFTC
 
26-Apr-13
Our 6775th overall find.

Found on a day out with Marcus Vitruvius up to and around Harrington and Taree. This took a bit to locate but I had some help. Nothing like scratching around like a chook.

Thanks where's wally walker for the cache.
 
25-Apr-13
We looked for this cache for a good 35 minutes. I'm sure we found where it was hidden. The place recently underwent some maintenance so I think the cache has been muggled
 
06-Mar-13
We are sure we found the spot (two GPSs) agreed but there was no sign of the cache there was evidance however of disturbance at the scene, maybe it has been muggled.

Thanks it was kind of easy. TFTC Smile

Being the only one who hasn't found this one, I was the only one to get out of the car. The other two were a bit impatient and yelled out "It's in the back of the sign". I looked at the sign and though "How do you fit a regular there?" My complete failure to locate it in the sign brought them out of the car. "Oh.. that is a new sign.." Well, obviously! Smile
We widened the search and soon found the cache.
Thanks, Robmc.

Wishing we were locals to skip by the road closure just around the corner so had to take the long way back. Cache was in the open so covered a bit better. Thanks where's Wally walker.

4912. [font=Century Gothic][green]Just as below, the road works are still just past here. Made the find early-ish morning with very few workmen around and none of them concerned with our presence.

We found this one while on a weekend of caching around the Taree areas. [It's actually our wedding anniversary today!] We weren't sure if we could get to this one as the road was closed - we went anyway and found that the road works were just past this cache. Spotted the cache quite quickly. TNLNSL TFTC
 
03-Jul-11
Found this with a mate Marty. It was a great day for geocaching this was the first find of the day. My friend actually found this, I was looking in the wrong spot as my gps was playing up on me under the tree. Great find thanks Wheres Wally
 
20-Jun-11
Too dangerous with the kids to risk them not being hit by a car!
 
19-Jun-11
Thank god it wasn't a weekday here. Probably one of the last spots I would of hid a cache. tnln. Cheers from the Browngang x 3.
 
07-Jun-11
Reperio at 1140. Pulled up near GZ, and whilst there weren't many muggles around, it's such an awkward spot for a cache that it makes searching for it difficult as there's no real reason to be standing there. Took a couple of minutes to find as there cache was completely buried.

Gratias.
 
06-May-11
Found with Bedmaker.
It took a bit of searching at night but we eventually found it.
TFTC
 
06-May-11
Found with TassieGirl on our way home while on holidays.
I'm glad we found this one at night as the nearby facility I'd imagine would be quite busy at other times.
Took a little while with the torch but we soon had it in hand.
TFTC.

A very quiet easter Saturday afternoon. No traffic, no muggles! Cache in good condition. TFTC

Why oh why do people plant caches outside child care centres??? They are not a good place to be spotted. Had a cursory look but with all the mothers going to pick up their kids from school down the road, it was pretty difficult. Couldn't see anywhere to hide a cache of any size, so left.
 
02-Mar-11
Found it No. 3413 ... on a busy corner ... took Geocoin and left Chinese Coins ... TFTC

New Cache placed and ready to be found. Released our See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Do No Evil monkeys to reward the FTF and the next 2 lucky cachers so they can begin their travels.
 
Cache has gone! We have replaced it with a new larger cache in a slightly different spot. Will update co-ordinates tonight!

I think a cache check is in order....
 
06-Dec-10
The start of a terrible run of DNF's today Sad The hint didnt make much sense where my GPS was pointing me (up the main road away from the corner) but the more likely area didnt reveal a cache today. After a run of DNF's it might be an idea to check this one out next time mini-walker attends... if they are still going there Wink
 
05-Dec-10
I think this one may have been muggled. I found a piece of pvc pipe sticking out of the ground for no apparent reason and another brocken piece in the garden nearby - was this the original cache?
 
28-Nov-10
No joy with this cache !!! Kept us bussy for a while then we had to give up and move on.
 
28-Nov-10
Every now and then, some caches need to see the light of day as they haven't been seen for months or even years. Even if it was a DNF a few times you might just get lucky.
We had a very eventful day covering a wide area in and around the Taree district great day out ..Couldn't locate this one, we had a run of bad luck after we stopped for lunch ... Twisted...need more finds

While the geowife was showing dogs at the Taree show today, my goal was to log 10 caches on the 10/10/10. This was cache number 5. Parked almost right on top of the cache. I really like the design of the cache container. I might have to copy that sometime in the near future. Not too expensive to construct either. Sunday was a great day to be picking this one up, for sure.

Thanks where's wally walker!
 
25-Aug-10
Nice easy drive by, though possibly not the best spot to be seen lurking for too long. But grabbed it straight away and the kids were all inside so didn't look suss. Thanks Where's Wally Walker, a different interpretation of a micro container but it works.
 
22-Aug-10
Nice quick drive by because the cache was on the ground in the open. We have rehidden it. TFTC
 
11-Aug-10
Nice quick easy find, didnt see anybody at the near by establishment.

CHecked Cache. All OK!

Great camoflage. Neat driveby to add to the logbook. TFTC where's wally walker. [386]

The summary.
Today we did a push from Newcastle to Taree and back, the tally for today - 20 caches (two needing maintenance), 37 degree temperatures, a scrub tick, a bruised knee and a cut finger. Sounds like a typical day caching ...... with fun had by all.

Found at 3.15pm GAFF1. On a Sunday afternoon no-one was around and the searching was uninhibited. This meant that the good hide was found quickly - loved the container.
Thanks Where's Wally Walker.
 
Checked this out after recent heavy rains. Replaced missing seal on container and replaced cache in location.

There didn't seem to be anyone around in the middle of the day today. So I found it quickly and signed the log. Thanks.
