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Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.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.

just passing by ...

For some reason this came up on our GPS as available, which I guess it is although unable to be accessed for the reasons mentioned by others (nearby property has fenced it off with electric fence strands).

Anyway I'm logging it, obviously as a DNF, for my reference so I can give it a go again in the future should we pass by and it's available!

--------

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

----------

I've noticed this cache is carrying a maintenance log which really does need to be addressed by the cache owner.

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)

It does not appear from logs that the CO has visited this cache recently, so it is being Disabled to remove it from search lists.

**There needs to be a response to this situation (or intentions indicated) within 14 days, 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:

- Check on the cache, repair and/or replace the cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked 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 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 (within 14 days). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. For ongoing issues (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to speed.

- If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**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.

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) it 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.

As per previous logs there is an electric fence around the Station and unable to access GZ.

Even though we could not get to GZ it is a nice spot to visit. Thanks for the cache.

Completely fenced off with private property signs

Didnt want to go over electric fence but loved the old station. TFTC

Cannot access the place. The fences are electric and donkeys are going crazy.

Awesome little hide! Spoke to the owner of the property and asked permission to enter the donkey's yard!

It’s a good idea to speak to the owner before going I property. Friendly man and donkeys! Tftc awesome part of history.

### Easter trip 2018 ###

----------

We've planed a trip to Jindabyne this year.
To get there, we took the inland route via Canberra where we've stayed for one night. We've then continued on to Jindabyne and have stopped at many interesting locations on the way there.
We've walkes up to the summit of
Mt Kosciusko on Easter Saturday. We've taken the main range walk up to the summit of 26km total distance. Great challenging hike past the blue lake and many other little mountain lakes.
The view up there was magnificent.
Back in Jindabyne, we've walked around the lake and have visited the sculptures near the lake.
We took the coastal route for the way home back to Sydney staying in Batemans Bay for the night.
We've stopped at many interesting locations and have visited some caches along the way as well
Thank you to all the owners for showing us the places

Team sissifalke

Was not 100% sure if we were allowed there but did find it, thanks for the cache

Most beautiful site for a cache ever! Easy find, just needs a little persistence... TFTC

It's not super micro and therefore not that difficult to find. Amazing location and amazing place for some great pictures. Thanks for this great cache!

Couldn’t access. Farmer has electric fence up and his donkeys guarding the station. Cool little building though. Wish we could have stopped for a look

Found this while on a motorcycle trip through this area. It's lovely country. tftc.

Found the Jincumbilly traditional cache at Jincumbilly with GeodudeAU. SmudgeyCat SM. My 100th cache log.

I was passing by with SmudgeyCat and saw this funny little place. A nice old country station. There were a few donkeys nearby and other assorted farm animals too. The owner was also not too far away so had to try not to be seen. Not an easy one to access here. Found with SmudgeyCat SM. TFTH

Can't get in has electric fence around it but donkeys are so cute

Found with InnocentApple. TFTC

Found on a one month road trip around Australia. Gave a pat to a curious but friendly donkey. TNLNSL TFTC

I will have to look up the history of this line. So many of these country lines are vanishing. I hope the old station stays around for many more years. The little donkey wandered over for a closer look while I was locating the cache. I took shelter in the waiting room to sign the log, thanks.

Pelusa found it

From the recent logs I expected to be disappointed here but I was able to step over the electric fence and make furtively for the station building where I quickly found the cache. The donkeys seemed unperturbed by my presence.

I took a couple of photos of what remains of the station before skipping back over the fence.

It's certainly a problematic situation, I'm glad I wasn't spotted by whoever has commandeered what could still be public land.

Thanks for placing this cache Jimmymaff.

I would have liked to find this as I'm sure I won't be back this way again but there was an electric fence all around the area. I see others have noted this as well. A shame........

Couldn't get in cause of the electric fence. Farmer not obliging either. Will be calling council

Well - I couldn't get to this one. I'm sure the land doesn't belong to the farmer, but he certainly seems to have claimed it as his own, with his donkeys in there, and an electric fence all around! I couldn't find where to turn it off. Maybe you could move the cache out of the enclosure, or, let people know how to turn it off? Nice station though.

My family and I pulled off the main road and soon enough I had a scary encounter with the electric fence. Then What I saw on the other side was not the cache but some beautiful little donkeys. My Geodad EverestHigh had already used the GPS and found it By the time I even got there.The friendly donkeys led me to the area of the cache when I realised that their resting place was at GZ .Great cache !!!!!! TFTC Jimmymaff !!!!!!

Quick find at a great little historical station. No goats, but the cutest miniature donkeys. Had a chat to the owner of the donkeys (and the electric fence). TFTC Jimmymaff

Quaint little station, had to step over the fence and avoid the goats
Was a top day to be out and about in the Monaro.

A nice old railway building. Very windy and desolate today. Cache found OK.

Thanks

Quick find thanks

Ran into a Electric fence that we think should not be there but we found a spot to turn it off. Once on site easy found. Thanks for the chache.

The ground was a swamp around the building, as it has been raining most of the day. Eventually found the cache. Was surprised that the door latch was not locked--cool old place. TFTC.

Hoped over the fence, explored the area, waved to the farmer.. and logged the cache. Thanks Jimmymaff.

Hard find, tftc

Fenced off with an electric fence so did not attempt with kids.

Find #1252 logged at GZ at 16:59, will update shortly.... T4TC Jimmymaff!

What a beautiful building. We would never have come here had we not been searching for caches
The farmer is replacing all of his electric fences around the buidling at the moment so becareful you get zapped.
5th find for today.
TFTC
Jenny and Mark

Terrific spot! Never would have come here otherwise. TFTC

We had to scale an electric fence. Wondering if the cache is still here.

Definitely worth the stop and time for pics. The temporary electric fence and the curious flock of sheep made this cache more interesting. What an awesome spot, TFTC.

[purple]Found this Cache on our Long way from Thredbo to Bairnsdale!!
The wheather was a Little bit better than the last days, and so we can find some really nice Caches!

Thanks for hiding!

We were driving from Melbourne to Jindabyne when out of the blue M4nd1 asks if there is a cache nearby. Being in the middle of nowhere we assumed there wasn’t but checked never the less. Wow there is one just a few meter up. We quickly pulled over and for a moment thought it was in private property. On close analysis of the location found a way to get closer by car. Wow, a train station in the middle of nowhere. Got some great postcard quality photos and a few hours’ worth of research and conversation regarding the abandon train line. Yet still have some questions like, when the train line ran did it pass through private property and if so where the owner compensated or does the government own the narrow piece of land and now that its abandoned the land owner have claimed it? Never the less, we glad M4nd1 asked and that we stopped.

On our way to explore Bombala and hadn't done any caching preparation.Spotted the lovely old abandoned station and said to each other "great place for a geocache" and luckily Jimmymaff thought the same thing! What a great place to stop and explore. Able to fit our path tag in the container. Thank you Jimmymaff.

Lovely spot, lovely idea - BUT - the flies and the long grass!! Very wary of actually looking for this cache due to the height of the grass but pressed on regardless.

Found with taurus1955 and BentleyTB. The resident of the nearby house is obviously used to people walking here. Wouldn't stop for a picnic today-too many flies! I love old stations, so this was a great place for a cache for me! TFTC

What a great place. I was imagining what it would have been like in its heyday. Thanks Jimmymaff

Had lunch here - note, undercover room available in old railway station waiting room, but sitting on the waiting room step duringa nice weather day is excellent. Out third visit by bicycle touring, this time start along Avon Lake Rd past Boco Rock windfarm construction headquarters,, Springfield Road, Nimmitabel for coffee and cake at Bakery, Monaro Hwy with turn off southwards to Ando, then back along the Bombala- Dalgety Rd. Neat 85km loop.

Nice little stop.

Out on a long-weekend-long caching adventure with BatgirlandCo.

I love these old stations! Thanks for a reason to stop!

The train arriving at platform one has been delayed....by around 30 years. Day two of a wonderful extra-long-weekend caching trip with Doppelfrog through Namadgi, Cooma and Eden.

found while out and about discovering

What a wonderful spot. Found on our way to Eden. Tftc

A welcome leg stretch on a long drive. We were amazed to find a train station out here. Real curiosity. Wouldn't it be nice to see it restored and some information about the line's history displayed. Guess it is a bit remote. TFTC.

Lots of hiding places. And a good reason to visit this place again.

Found while on a small diversion on the way home from Canberra.
TFTC

Cycling past we decided to have morning tea here along with Tuross Head cycling group, whom I introduced them all to the game of Geocaching!

Found a nice big brown snake skin as well! BYO pen.

Cool

No luck for ann0b3lla or myself. Did find this guy tho!

We like taking minor roads, and enjoyed thsi drive very much. Old railways through out the world have stories to tell. TFTC

Nice old sration TFTC

Great spot for a photo of days gone by. The grass has been cut around the station, which makes avoiding the snakes easier. Can't work out how we didn't find this on our last visit. TFTC

Found at 11.30

Hard to find.

Eagle eyes finally spotted it. - WELL DONE

TFTC

This was anything but a quick find for TaurusSix and myself. We went over the place a few times. Found a rather large lizard, which distracted me for a few minutes. Eventually found it where I had thought I had looked earlier.

1272. A quick find on the way to Mallacoota to meet up with the SA cousins. A very interesting little spot. TFTC.

On our way from Perisher to merimbula after a days skiing. A top spot and enjoyed the spot. Found it with awesome 5 tftc.

Found this on the way from jindabyne to merimbula, nice way to have a rest stop, TFTC

Found today with AwesomeFive and EmLach, great spot, thanks for making us stop there!

On our trip from Merimbula to Melb.
Thanks for the cache

I reccon this can be cold a true country cache! I am glad Hoojar made this little detour from the Monaro highway on our long caching trip. Hope these building are preserved for a long time to come!
TFTC Wilbert67

An absolutely classic spot for a country cache. An enjoyable stop on the drive home.

Today was the fifth day of our excursion out of Tasmania touring from Melbourne to Canberra and return via Gippsland. We visited a number of towns and areas today between Cann River in Victoria and Cooma in New South Wales, via Jindabyne and we were lucky enough to find some caches along the way. The day started very foggy but cleared quickly to a fine day with changing proportions of blue skies and broken cloud. Seeing this now abandoned railway siding reminded us how important the railway was to the development of many areas of Australia but, with the improvements to all forms of transport, particularly road transport, the importance of railways declined and the demise of railway stations and sidings is a very clear reminder of the changes. It took a few minutes of hunting around but the cache was soon located. TFTC Jimmymaff.

There seem to have been a lot of railway lines around here that are not in use any more. Anyway, they make grate places to see when caching. Thanks.

Lifes'changed a lot since the Bombala train ran, cant imagine waiting or getting off the train in late July here.

Found in company of Norkmeister

A lovely little station that was very picturesque. I was amazed that the place hasn't been trashed yet. The neighbour came out to check out what we were doing, but just moved his sheep and went back inside. Cache found a few metres away from where the GPS was saying. A normal hide in the end. Found with Daedalos on our caching holiday.

Thanks Jummymaff.

What a great place to stop for a look around - felt a bit silly for a few minutes because we couldn't find it at first, but did in the end. Loved the atmosphere inside the old station, too.

What a nice spot for a cache, on way to Vic from Pambula. TFTC. TNLN.

Slight detour on our way home from Paynesville to Canberra. TFTC

I have a calendar with thischistorical station on it. And here I am . TFTC

lovely old station. TFTC SL TN L: troll ring

Fund number 7 today. Co ords a bit out but still a great spot to stop for a look round. TFTC

Found while out on a caching run through the area with fitzy_1965 and AwesomeL (and finally logging it !!).

Thanks for the Cache !

3934 + 204 = 4138. A loop through Cooma, Jindabyne and the region with ACBC66 and AwesomeL...

I love these old country train stations - such a shame they have closed these lines. AwesomeL and I made the find at the same time ! Thanks Jimmymaff !

Cheers....

We used to travel this way often when we lived in Jindabyne (pre geocache) if only we knew what was hidden at the old railway station.

4318. [font=Century Gothic][green]Had a very nice truck pull over and let me by to get to this after turning off from our designated route to nab one of the few remaining for me to scoop up on the way to Vic. Cute little spot watched over by the nearby neighbour. Find made easily - once I moved from where I was searching. [xx(]

Found this cute little station at 10.25am. A bit chilly in Jincumbilly this morning. TFTC Jimmymaff on our way home to Victoria after spending Easter at Tura Beach.

Found this cache on our Southern Trek.
Very nice spot to take a break from the driving.
We had just seen a snake on the road and we became more alert about snakes in the area. We did not see any near the cache.
It is amazing that this building could still be in the area. The train tracks had some shrubs growing around it.
We saw some train carriages as we were driving away about 70m away from the station.
TFTC

Found the Station, found the cache and found no train.TFTC

The olde railway building looks a bit lonely out here on the grasslands [:o]
Sad to think that it will never see another train
Decay has set in and the concrete stumps the building sits upon are starting to fall apart.
Still it should last as a cache hiding place a few more years yet

Its amazing that this would have beed a major railway line once and now its nothing more than a council dumping ground.

On the first day of 2011 we were travelling via Dalgety to Bombala and to Bendoc in Victoria to explore Erinundra NP. The local map by Cartoscope shows the abandoned railway to Cooma. Love abandoned railways and rail trails. 'That looked like an old rail station, let’s turn back for a look. Bets on for a cache to be found.' Great spot, hope station doesn’t get blown away for a long time yet. I guess the neighbour with the old railcars keeps an eye on things. Spacious camping by the river at Dalgety with the pub a stone throw away looked inviting for next time.

Quick find. Nice spot. Had gone past it when turned gps and phone at same time so wnt back to it it and was then distracted by messages. At first site didn't believe it was a real station.

What a great spot! Although I have to admit to being a train buff. Great to see that someone is loking after this little old station. Grass had been slashed and the sign was freshly painted. Thanks Jimmymaff for bringing us here.

Our first cache stop on our trip to Sale and this one was a must (and you will know why it was good to get this one first). Once we arrived at GZ Ju and So headed off with the GPSr and started looking in some obvious places but didn't come up with the find. Once I made it there I soon had the cache located.

This little siding would have been great in it's hey-day. Hopefully someone will adopt and restore it.

TFTC

this was our first ever find. never logged the find as we were members back then and thought it might have been a one weekend thing.
