Is this cache going to be replaced?

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

.

We had a look for this one today but were unable to locate it.
Given that the owner is no longer living in the area and there has been a long list of DNFs it should be considered for archiving.

Hey guys, I see from your profile page that you have now left town and are living back in the East coast
Perhaps you might find a local cacher to maintain your hide or if you cant do that perhaps archive it so that another cacher can use the location
Regards, Mark

Holland Track Adventure
This trip had been on my 'Wish List' for some years
The problem was Logistics
I had to get the timing right...…….So many Variables!
Weather
The best time of year is after winter to avoid the very worst of the cold and wet, and before the weather gets too hot in summer
We were very fortunate to get nice warm sunny days and mild nights with no rain, the track was mostly dry and the deep mud puddles could easily be skirted around on dry tracks
Company
I did not want to tackle the track on my own as my vehicle is not fully set up for hard core 4 wheel driving, no winch or high lift kit which would be advisable, especially after rain
Luckily I found a group of other geocachers who were planning to tackle the track and I quickly agreed to join in the group
Today was the day
After spending many hours the previous afternoon removing all my work tools and other stuff out of my vehicle and packing in all my camp gear, I was ready to go early in the morning
Stopping to fill up with fuel on my way out of town then continuing on to pick up my passenger Mistraluna
While we had discussed a rough plan of finding caches on the way to Hyden I was not prepared for the coming adventure that this day would prove to become
Luckily we had all day today and tomorrow to get to Hyden where we would meet up with the other members of our party
On the way we stopped to top up with fuel and headed for our first cache of the day
From the fuel station we drove east to Pinjarra then on Pinjarra - Williams road, through Dwellingup, continuing east until we reached the power line road just past East Boundary rd. We made a left turn here and started heading north
The road was quite good and I did not need to use 4 wheel drive
I was thrilled to see a great number and variety of wild flowers along the roadside which I had not seen before
Our journey continues

Day 6
Cache 9 for today
We had a good look around but once we noticed the long list of DNF's we cut our losses and carried on
The view from the top was nice
TFTC (but can you please go and check on it or it may be archived )

It has been 4 years since I visited the goldfields with Chwiliwr on the way over to my very first Oz Mega in Murray Bridge back in 2014. We didn't have time to come into Kal and do any caching on that occasion, so I was keen to come and grab at least a few of the special ones around town. Came to look for this one after traveling here from Hyden along the Holland Track with Team Red Roo, m4yb, megawatt60, SeabreezeOZ and ebenie rounding out the convoy. Amazing adventure, but nice to be back in "civilization" and having a few more caches to find. We were still on limited time, so a quick search with favourite points as a filter came up with a list of must do caches to target this morning. Climbed said hill, admired the view, made my way to gz and gave it a pretty good looking over, but nada, then read the long list of dnf's so gave up on it as a waste of limited time. Another time maybe. Thanks for placing and maintaining (?) this cache for the rest of us to come and find Teamdjbilo

Needs to be disabled until maintenance can be performed. Thanks.

Search it but lots of broken bottles and other stuff. Looked at the other end and called it a day. Maybe next time.

Many dnfs. So a look might be considered.

There has been excavation around the area perhaps it’s been misplaced?

Seems to be missing

Was hoping to find this so I could log a travel bug visit

DNF

??

Could not find it. Seems it may be missing

Couldn’t find it, looked for ages!

Mother’s Day

Getting dark. Searched for 30 minutes.

Nice view.

Found!

Second one we found

Nice view

TFTC Fun find in the dark. Just the one red marble inside, took nothing.

After breakfast I suggested to my muggle Mum that we head out to grab this cache. I may have neglected to mention the hill climbing aspect... Still, after taking the longer route (it wasn't clear if the direct one would go through), we headed around to find a way up the hill - but things weren't looking promising. A nearby road worker called out and directed us to the proper route (around the back in effect was around the front...) and we were off. Another choice of routes, I opted for the direct one this time, not being quite sure if the more leisurely but longer vehicle track would get to the summit or not - it wasn't too hard a climb though. After taking the obligatory photos from the top we headed on to GZ where the cache was quickly found and duly logged. TFTC and a great viewing point for Kalgoorlie and the mine poppet heads, etc

Great view!

Despite the obvious sign of prospecting in the area and its not the original cache it was found and logged then spent some time admiring the view. TFTC

Great spot overlooking Kalgoorlie

Found!

Difficult as container looks a bit like rubbish - hint it's a clear tube looking thing under the large rocks

Tftc still there!

We struggled here! There is a lot of new diggings we suspect fossickers so we hope it hasn't been stolen. Just might not be looking right!

This is find # 24004 for me
On the way to Red Central - Alice Spring. Detour some caches - enjoyed wander outback and signed the log. [^][^] Breathless and beautiful view from top.
Thanks Teamdjbilo for organising the cache and hunt [^]

A bit of a scramble but we did it.

After a DNF here about a year ago during a previous visit to Kalgoorlie, I went back tonight after work and finally got my smilie. I think that I was expecting something larger last time. A prospector was trying his luck on the hill with a metal detector, but thankfully he was on the other side of the pit and looking away from GZ. Thank you for the cache Teamdjbilo, great location and nice views over green and lush Kalgoorlie at the moment!

Camping at Lake Douglas for a few days and picking up a few caches around the area. I lived in Kalgoorlie for a number of years, and have visited numerous times since then, but I have never been up Mt. Gleddon before. Thanks for making me visit a place I have never been - Fantastic view from up here. TNLNSL TFTC Teandjbilo

Third time lucky! But every trip has been worthwhile. Took us a bit of time today but we found it. Then just had to get the muddy kids back down the hill...

Hi there Teamdjbilo.

We found your cache **"Nanny Goat Hill"** at 1:24:00 PM today. (This makes our find count 15657).

We are touring aroundf Kalgoorlie with some muggle friends - so we can only grab a cache or two when we can over the next few days.

The colours of the rocks are quite spectacular after the rain.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour around the area today. We found a wide variety of container types amongst our 5 caches (& 2 DNF's) today. Thanks for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** We found a lid. Cache needed some maintenance, so we made the repair and restored the cache. (See spoiler photo).
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Found whilst having an afternoon of caching.
Walk up is a challenge for the unfit but I made it.
Thanks to Ian n Penny for replacing, well hidden, should last a while.
TFTC

This was replaced back in september obviously someone keeps removing this. Very disappointing.

still have Family around and are going to check this out next week and fix when on days off

lotsa non-finders

CO has moved back to NSW, they wont be able to fix this

no go for me today

No luck for me either!

No luck here today

Unfortunately an unsuccessful search with so many good hidey holes. Good 30 min search ended up with a DNF but hey - it's still an awesome spot.

Didn't find it Pamela Joy

No peln

Gave this one much more than our usual time limit, and widened our search from a reasonably stable indicated GZ. No luck here today though. Our thanks anyway to Teamdjbilo.

No trackable

Anzac Day find

No luck

Looked and looked but couldn't find this one

Walked up the hill and searched for a while, flipped every rock twice and checked every nook and cranny but could not find the cache. Thank you for taking me up there anyway Teamdjbilo, nice views.

Took a bit but found it

Found it, bring your hiking boots!

TFTH

found it, nice view

Bit of a warm day but got the kidlets out for a walk TFTH!!

Nice hide, cheers

Little trekking!! Thanks

On holiday from the UK. Just arrived from Esperance for a short stay before catching the India Pacific train to Adelaide. According to my GPSr GZ was about 800 metres from where we were staying, so I set off to find it. It didn't take long to reach the hill, but I had not allowed for the uphill climb walking in ever decreasing circles. Eventually reached the top and found the cache. By the time I had returned to the start I had walked about 4Km. SLB. TNLN. TFTC.

Great view, as good as Mt Charlotte

Nice walk

Good view from here

Great spot. We arrived just before sunset, and enjoyed the beautiful view. We have lived in Kalgoorlie for 12 years, and have never been up here. Great location for a cache.

Out from Perth for the week to visit half-muggle hubby's brother who's been a Kalgoorlie resident for about 5 years. This is the first cache we've found during our stay when we ran to town to grab some BBQ supplies. Easy find, GPS coords spot on and cache in good shape. Still plenty of goodies but I didn't empty them all out to see if the trackable is still there... fingers crossed it is!
TFTC and the great views!

Nice little trek up the hill. Reasonable view - weather seemed to be turning when up there. Signed log, left Canada pin. TFTH

While staying in Kalgoorlie and a day of sight seeing I needed to stretch my legs. This was a little tricky to find the entrance but once there it was an excellent way to go. Great view from here. Thanks for the cache Teambjbilo

Great views

TFTC. First time up here. Nice views.

Today was our rest day in Kalgoorlie, so what better way to wind down from our trip across the Gunbarrel, than to find some caches before heading back east [?].
Missed the carpark , so hacked a uey and stopped at the information board .
Nice place to sit and look over the town from the top (even watched a plane take off), but we had a cache to find, so off we went again .
TNLNSL.
Thanks Teamdjbilo.

In town again. Third time this year slipping in a couple of caches. TNLNSL. TFTC

Grabbed this and enjoyed last look over Kalgoorlie as we headed back from Pilbara to Adelaide.

It was our first night in Kalgoorlie and we were grabbing a few sights and caches and this one fitted the bill for both especially since it was getting on dark and the views over the area was great and made for a few pics also. Found with my geo daughter after a short search. Thanks for the cache Teamdjbilo.

Road is longer than the track but a lot easier. TFTC

Nice view

Great spot

Good one for our fist find

TFTC! Smallest child's first unassisted find

Great find on WA day. Help from muggle boyfriend who doesn't like geocaching.

After hiking up the 'hard' way I realised I could have walked along the blue chip path and made it there without being a nanny goat haha... Great spot and awesome view at the top!! TFTC!!

Took us a while but found it after a good look. TFTC

Good walk up

Found today at 1500
Moderate walk the way I went in.
Definitely wouldn't wear thongs
No TB's in the Cache
TFTC Teamdjbilo
