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.

I was glad to see this one had been found recently.
Made my son come for a ride with me and we did the 2 caches out this way then rode home through the Sheepstation creek reserve which actually ended up being the long way home.
I made this cache harder then it needed to be, I didn't need to do that, just look, it's easier then it seems!
Thanks for having a cache out my way Bristracker Wink

I knew that this had been disabled after a few dnf's but I was on my way past so thought I would drop in and check anyway. In the rain with a torch, I scrambled under the building and started checking all the possible places the cache might be - if it was still there. I checked around the ground as well, just in case it had been dropped somewhere. Eventually, I made my way to one spot and found the cache. I was very happy to see it, climbed out and sat on the stairs to sign the log.
It was a fresh log sheet - so I'm not sure if the log book was replaced recently or the whole cache has been replaced and not yet updated online.
In any case, the cache is still there.
Thanks for the cache Very Happy

I noticed that this cache has been temporarily disabled for a period of time in excess of the period of "up to 4 weeks" as set out in the cache guidelines published on Geocaching.com. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other caches from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever. Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it (using the archive listing link in the upper right) so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location.

If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 30 days detailing when it will be replaced, so I don't archive the listing for non-communication. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every month or so to keep everyone up to date.

That's two people now who haven't found it. Admittedly last person was a relatively new cacher but still I don't want anyone spending time on this one if it has gone.
so I'm disabling it until I can get a kind cacher to go check on it for me.

With Net88 and /dev/gc0c getting about this part of the world after somehow ending up here when we planned to be several dozen kilometres south. Oh well, such a nice area up here! The area was a proper ghost town when we arrived, not a soul to be seen as we undertook my favourite form of recreation.

With a look at the cache page, the hunt was on. It was not exaclty a comfortable area for me to be looking, but the mind was willing. /dev/ and I were fossicking and looking about for a long time when Net spotted the beast some distance away. So we headed over there and signed the logbook. A nice spot to stop (and the gents facilities unlocked - convenient!). TFTC bristracker Smile
 
23-Aug-13
Found this cache whilst out for a day of hunting with Captain Terror and /dev/gc0c. We all started searching at one end in particular, I moved on before the others and spotted the cache in the opposite end to where the guys were looking Razz I even managed to find it without getting too dirty Big Grin Thanks for the cache Bristracker.
 
23-Aug-13
With Captain Terror and Net88. Net88 found this one.

Found on a quick trip out this afternoon. TFTC. No sign of trackable.

06-Jul-13
We had the place to ourselves and with the help of the hint I found the cache quite quickly. Signed the log then headed along the road to find its "twin". TFTC Smile
 
20-Jun-13
I've had my eye on this one for some time now but as luck would have it each time i zip past the facility is being used / occupied by muggles by the thousands. While out at a friends place today I thought I'd give it a go and - what luck - not a muggle in sight. Smile

With great directions and coords it wasn't long before I had the prize in hand.

Container and contents all in good order

Smile Happy day. 2 caches so far found. Took out charm and put in braided bracelet.
 
08-May-13
Out for a quiet weekday of caching. When we pulled up at this one we didn't think we would be able to look for the cache as there were lots of cars in the parking lot and the doors were wide open, so we thought we might have unwanted eyes watching us. We were wrong however as there was nobody there, so we were able to make a quick search and find the cache quickly. TNLNSL TFTC
 
11-Apr-13
Thanks Wink
 
09-Apr-13
Without the additional hint, I don't think we would have found it. GPS kept leading me to the bin.

No-one at the hall, but lots of activity in surrounding houses. Had to sit for a bit until it was clear.

Geokid found it quite easily, and without too much bending for her.

TFTC
 
08-Apr-13
I made it harder than it should have been. Smile. TFTC. No TB again.
 
17-Jan-13
Wow, my back hurts! Good fun.. TFTC Smile
 
12-Jan-13
The car park was empty so I knew that I would be alone but there was activity on the other side of the fence so I had to use some stealth and spent 15 minutes of crawling around under the building and re-searching some areas at least three times and I was walking back towards the car in defeat and had one last look and spotted the cache.

Thanks bristracker.
 
31-Dec-12
GPS kept taking us away from the cache location, but we got there in the end Smile
 
29-Dec-12
Found it. Easyfind. TFTC
 
05-Dec-12
Just down the road from Rural Rest. GPS a little off, but the hints led me straight to it. TFTC. SL Left a couple of extra do-dads in the container

It was Thursday again, Yay!! My caching day Smile The lovely Lady membsec and myself had planned on heading to the darkside to try rounding up a few caches. But instead.... We had been lured north with the hopes of a FTF. Unfortunately the FTF was already taken. So seeing as we were up this way we continued finding the caches in the area. There was one here and there that we both needed to find.

I have been watching these further out caches for a while now, glad I am finally getting around to finding them. This was a much needed cache as we had been on the caching trail all day now and I was in need of finding a ladies room. The cache earlier had some amenities but they were a little scary Surprised We found the cache without a hassle and in good condition.

With a base near the Glass House Mountains we ventured out to get a few caches. An enjoyable assortment of hides and we enjoyed finding this one.
Thanks to bristracker.
 
15-Sep-12
Found @ 1110 hrs

I pulled the Geo Wagon up in the carpark of the hall. According to Mr Garmin Gz was 6m away Big Grin

It must have been my lucky day the first place I looked I came up trumps. Surprised

I took the cache back to the wagon and did the deed with the log book and also left behind Travel Kitty TB. [^]

Log and container is in good condition. Smile

Found it. TFTC. Was a little off my geo co-ord, but the desc mentions "passing muggles"... Use it to your advantage.
 
20-Aug-12
under the cover of darkness..with a torch...this was a quick easy find. TFTC. After numerous attempts during the days of the week but with this little hall constantly busy, we crossed our fingers with a night visit and were successfully rewarded.

Easy find without GPS as close to home and the clues were easy. TNLN TFTC

Seems the local rurals were recreating when I visited last night. Drove into the carpark to have a look, but had to leave when the paint started to melt under the lights back there Wink.

1257 - The last time we were caching in the area, the hall was being renovated and the cache was unavailable. We returned to the area today to pick up a couple of recently placed caches, and we picked up this one as well. We found it in perfect condition in its hiding place at 1:05pm. I am happy to report it is still in good condition and ready to be found after three and a half months. The hall and its surrounds look much better than it did a few years ago - this is a great, well maintained place now. Thanks for the cache bristracker.

The GZ was easily located and being a weekday afternoon the site was deserted.
After a brief search the cache was located...high and dry. Thanks bristracker for yet another enjoyable cache. TNLN.

Assisted Bristracker by placing a new cache for geocachers. Signed the log before placing the cache. Everybody enjoy! Thanks Bristracker

After reading logs I think it best to disable this one until I can visit the area and decide what is best for the future of this cache.

turns out the whole area is fenced off now, looks as if the building is getting re-stumped, no chance of getting anywhere near GZ today or for some time.

As others have mentioned, the place was lit up like a Christmas Tree. When we pulled up we were greeted by the neighbour's barking dogs. Initially we thought the noise was coming from GZ. The cache was found after a short search and then we were on our way. TFTC bristracker
