Due to limitations of NOT being able to alter the environment to make a safe placement for a geocache at this location this has been permanently ARCHIVED. But, may be brought to life on Geocaching Australia yet.

As there's been no cache to find or log to sign for months, 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 the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

What are the locals, or muggles, or pirating geocachers doing?
I'll be back !
(And I KNOW it was there Australia Day)

No luck here, scrabbled around the back of the memorial for about 10 mins but turned up nothing.

TFTC Cookie. What a wonderful way to spend dusk, I have had a great day and topped it of by finding your wonderful cache full of suprises. Took Aussie Oven Mitt with thanks; Left a Pandora style Braclet, Five Blue Stones and an Aeroplane Jelly Card. [:X]

What a thing to commemorate!
Its as interesting to note that we did commemorate such things in the past, as it is to go and see the memorial itself.
Thanks Grahame Cookie for a nice walk to a forgotten and hidden memorial

Took trackable, left toy

Merry Xmas!

That one was cool. Dropped a geocow trackable in there. Nice lot of geobooty for geokids there too. Took my mum, sister and her husband for the hunt, they never even knew that memorial was there and we have lived in the area most our lives

TFTC A well hidden cache we found it fairly easy love these ones as we drive by thanks for the hide

The council should maintain the shrubs so the memorial remains visible.A great cache with a great theme !!!! TFTC SL

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 ..I filled this to the absolute maximum with toys for Geokids...You cant even see the memorial from the road..not to sure if to many people even know it exists...TFTC SL

28th cache on a 50 cache extravaganza. Never ever would have known the memorial was here

16:29 - nice find near the end of the day
Took the Aussie track-a-bear TB.

0930 On way to Wingham, and had the Aussie, Aussie, Aussie TB in my pocket. My sincerest apologies to DOMALZAC for misplacing it, and keeping it of circulation for so long. Hopefully it can get going soon.

Wow, this is one forgotten about memorial! Good cache. Took Aussie Koala, left car keying, sorry I didn't have anything for the theme. Tftc

Sent from my mobile device.

Nice easy find here and a nice satisfying container. But it's one very well hidden memorial. No trains going past today while I was at the scene but I did see a freight in town later on by chance. No swaps, thanks Grahame Cookie.

Nice quick drive by one we worked out where it was! You can't really see the memorial from the road for the trees! TNLN TFTC

This cache was muggled 3 days ago!!!! Luckily the muggle read the stash note (See! ALWAYS include one in your hides and left a very detailed message. We may have a new convert.. which is good cause he has taken the Geocoin. Hopefully he comes to play and brings it back or logs it. Cheers from Sydney (recovered it well this time! hehe)

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found at 1450. If not for the cache this hidden monument would probably never have any visitors. Thanks Grahame Cookie for bringing us here.

Found on rainy afternoon. Found cache uncovered so logged and put some leaf litter over it.

That was an easy find today while visiting Taree.
Thank you very much for this cache!
Greetings, Colonel Dago from Germany

Found by Mary & David at 1020. How wonderful to see a big container, well-stocked and dry after lots of soggy QLD micros. Our thanks to Grahame Cookie.

Found it No. 2649 ... had nothing Aussie to leave ... TNLN

found it at night also found a few spiders, took australian stubbie holder left AIS pack and torch, TFTC Grahame Cookie

Finally had a chance to come and do this one! Really close to my parent's house, but keep driving past without stopping!! Nice easy find. Took TB and huge paperclip, left sheet of aussie flag stickers. TFTC

Found GZ by the clues - No luck with GPS today. Thought it may have to do with cloud cover. Got home and Geohusband told me he had been fiddling with GPS and had changed the Datum. No wonder I kept striking out. Arrgh!!!

Took Aussie Flag Geocoin and Thong Keyring.

Left Lost Keys TB, Hide a Kache Magnetic Geocoin and Bouncy Ball.

Dropping by to drop off a coin from Port Macq - Aussie Flag Microcoin. Seems appropriate!

This is an example of why I love geocaching, we would never have known this was here if you hadn't placed a cache here. TNLNSL TFTC Grahame Cookie. [383]

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.

Great easy cache to get the confidence up. Took the GC for a walk towards the beach, Added bonus for this train spotter was seeing an XPT go past while we were signing the log.

Thank you for a nice easy find.

dropped off LIZARDTOADZ Decypher coin (PCXQWZ)

Parked at the nearby depot thingy and walked up the to the cache with geoboy and Daedalos. Cache was found easily while geoboy admired the train tracks. Plenty of aussie-themed swaps in there still. Took a sheet of stickers and left a shark. They're aussie aren't they?

Logged from my phone using the Geocache Navigator by Trimble

Found with Norkmeister. I wish the Geoboy had not chosen the Aussie Flags stickers. I now haave them all over my clothes.

I couldn't resist one final cache before it got dark.

Quick find of a well-stocked cache. I took the trackables. Thanks to the GillyGang4 for my Christmas present.

XNSL. T4TC.

WOOHOO find number 100.******Christmas Present For the next cacher here-details below ******
We went out today- Christmas Day to get the 2 caches we needed to get to the magic 100.
A great cache too- I love themed caches
We took the thongs and left a very snazzy dogs paw metal bottle opener/keyring.
Also dropped in a TB- pirate treasure and retrieved the birthday TB
To celebrate this as our 100th find we have released a new coin here.
++++++ We have left a little wrapped christmas gift for the next person- an unactivated trackable turtle TB- Merry Christmas from the GillyGang for the first to get there and retrieve it. So we will see who is watching the this site at Christmas- it doesn't matter if you have already found this cache or even is you are the owner, the first to retrieve it gets the present.
We are feeling so good I think we'll put another gift out today in one of the caches we own- so check it out on our profile.
TFTC and Merry Christmas.

I was returning home when I decided to stop and get this cache, I didn't have my gps with me but it really isn't needed. Great cache full of swaps even though I didn't swap any. Another top Cookie cache!!

Quick find with the Emongs. Well hidden cache and also hidden memorial too. Swapped a TB for a TB. Warning to anyone caching with little people... make sure they dont grab leaves or sticks from oleander and chew them as extremely toxic plant.

TFTH Took Aussie Bottle Opener Left Aussie Bear Thanks for all th egood caches in the Taree area.

Found at 3.05pm GAFF1. Why this line of oleanders is here is a bit strange - but it looks quite nice when in flower. The stone with the plaque was found right where the GPS indicated and thankfully the cache placed in a spot where it was expected to be and didn't require a huge expedition into the undergrowth.
Thanks Grahame Cookie.

Dropping off Donkey and Monkey TB

After piano lesson asked mum to come and grab newish cache on the way To Wingham High School. I thought I better go down the hill but it didn't lead me anywhere. So continued on going by the road. Saw an orange work sign and and just behind it their was the monument. never knew of a monument here, but it is more history of the area. Thanx! Cookie!

Swung by and grabbed this one.

Nice cache and hats off to those pioneers that got a railway to Dungog up and running in 1913. I'm thankful that finding this one was far easier than what they must have endured. TNLN today as I had loaded this one via GPRX and didn't read the spiel.
Thanks GC for another magnificent Manning cache

1.45 pm our third ftf !!!! drive past here daily and have never seen this memorial took aussie stubbie cooler left simpsons rubber, giant paperclip and carabena another gr8 hide tftc
