Bush Bashing with G.G Doonside, New South Wales, Australia
By team_Noah on 23-May-10. Waypoint GC291NA

No updates, probably time to go...

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 within 7 days, 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 7 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.

Cache had been muggled and with no response from CO, perhaps time to let this one go?

KRS is correct would not have come if read pass logs, could see a couple of places where it could have been, perhaps a check is in order.

I'd already suffered a DNF down the road at "Train Spotter - London Street" and hoped to turn my luck around here. Having already seen my first black snake of the season up near Wyong 2 days ago, I was very wary around all the long grass and logs here. Lots of stooping and crouching to look underneath and then I decided to check past logs....Dammit, why didn't I do that in the first place!!! If I'd seen coybear2000's log from last month I wouldn't have come here in the first place. Next cache was "Train Spotter - Knox Road Bridge". Needs a cache replacement or archival - please do something.

Cache has been muggled, have salvaged log, trying to dry but is mush. Happy to return if CO wants to contact me.

Out with Trodectus, got to GZ and did search. We found saturated log and items from cache on ground, no container, definitely a muggled site. As have log and am sure cache has been destroyed, am logging as found, at the discretion of CO.

I'm logging this as a find, at the discretion of the CO.
Came here with Coybear2000. After searching around GZ for some minutes, we widened our search area. Soon I spotted a plastic bag that had a card in it displaying the Geocaching logo. Searching this spot further I discovered the bag with the mushy log in it. No sign of any container, nor remains thereof.
TFTC

Had a good look for this one, found evidence of paraphernalia near GZ but no cache.

There were many criss crossing trails. I had a bit of a bush bash to find GZ but an easier exit. As the previous cacher mentioned the log is mush. I think a river must flow through the hide when it rains. I stood the container upright so that maybe the problem won't persist.

Found, soggy loggy, cache water logged.

For proof I can provide photo of cache upon request save spoiling it for anyone else.

Was certainly a bush bash, but easy find in the end.

TFTC

So over grown. Tried looking for 30 minutes and saw a snake

#26 Walked around the area once to find the shortest route in. Lot's of long grass & fallen logs @ GZ

#1342 (3 of 3 today)

Decided to head out west late in the day to finish off the year. I had a specific target, and hoped I could grab a few more before heading home for NYE festivities.
[center]* * * END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION * * *[/center]
Still time for one or two more...
Decided to try this one.

Arrived at the park, and somehow managed to take the right path first up. And kept going, hoping for something to get closer as all the grass was long and snake-friendly.
Eventually came back to where I was 25 or so metres from GZ.

Used a long stick to hopefully snake-proof my path, as surprisingly there was no geotrail here.
At GZ the search began. So many places and so much long grass obscuring possible hides.
While "walking the plank" at one point got a PAF re a puzzle cache. Tried to help out as I slowly continued the search.

Finally spotted it on the second go around what I thought were the four most likely spots.
Poured quite a bit of water from the container. There was water in one of the ziplock bags as well. Luckily the log was relatively dry, and I could sign easily.

Completed signing duties and used the stick to pave my way back to the track.

Jfindit rang me to decided to travel out to Woodcroft Western Sydney... Early 5am Beautiful cool then after 11am feel bit very hot so keep find few caches then zoom to home at 2pm.. Hide well...Thank

Departed the Central Coast 5:am this morning rumbling down the thin black line along with the exodus of tradies heading south, Heading towards the Western suburbs of Sydney ie Bella Vista, Seven Hills and west to Glendenning, Hopefully picking up a few caches along the way

Thanks for the great cache team_Noah(8D)

Needs a new log as the current one has sustained significant water damage. TFTC

#161 - Geocaching Live for Windows Phone & Garmin eTrex 30

This was the fourth of 10 finds for today. After finding ‘Nano? No no’, I decided to find this cache due to its size for the Well Rounded size cache challenge and to complete another D/T combination. I parked near GZ but then doubled back to find the start of the trail. It felt like it was taking forever to walk through this bush and even more so as I was heading back in the direction of the car. Why couldn’t I just walk straight to it? Nevertheless, I located GZ and the cache. It was quite unique to be in the bush and hear trains roar by. Whilst signing the log, I felt something rub on my leg and I jumped but it was just a thick branch that was previously wedged until my foot. I wasn’t too fond of the large spider web nearby either. Afterwards, I made the decision to walk straight through the scrub and back to the car. Luckily, the only living things which distracted me were a muggle and his dog. SLTNLN. TFTC.

Guess we took the wrg path. Heaps of burrs no cache. Had to leave to take geo grankids to the movies at Westpoint. We will be back. This time we will go straight down the obvious path.

We had seen this one for a while meaning to do it and then saw it was perhaps missing or on the way out. Then we saw a new container had been placed so thought we had better gab this sooner than later. We circled around on tacks and then went the bush bash picking up lots of burrs. We let GPSr settle and after looking in a few spots made the find. We saw a nice green frog which we thought at first was camo. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC

Good little hide, lots of burrs! No geo coin

A successful find.

After reading a few posts here, I thought I'd take a container with me and see if it suited the situation. The log and bags are now in a black screw top plastic container. The cache is in the exact same spot and well cammoed. I hope this is ok with the owner, if not please feel free to remove the container and return to the way it was. A few young muggles around so hope I wasn't spotted.

Took trackable to move on

TFTC

NEEDS a container, any container to protect the plastic bag! PLEASE!
Not sure how Cookie had logged this, but that is right, his amnesia started the night after this!

2010 Not quite late enough to be able to include it in the Night Caching bookmark! GAFF1. But this does help to keep the GeoStreak going along one more day.
Agree that there was NOT a trackable there, but I have written in my caching log book that I left Painted Lady trackable there. Didn't leave a CSM here, as others have said, it is just a bag with a sheet of paper.

TFTC team Noah

Thanks but I was hoping for a bit more than a snap-lock bag in the bush.
No sign of trackable

TFTC A quick find in scrub style park

Tftc! Quick find.

Log sheet is a bit soggy!

With the green grass reshooting where the bush had been burned out it was easy to imagine kangaroos would have called this area home before suburbia encroached.
Found the bag as per previous logs. The log sheet was damp and mouldy so I left another sheet of paper for signing.

A bit of a hunt but eventually found it!

Found

Found it good place

Shame to find only sheds of log sheets...probably due to bushfire? Enjoyed the stroll with Dolphia everlasting and Sevabo.TFTC.

Everlasting found it but only log paper and locker.. Sevabo, Ozcymru and me together again. TFTC

Tftc. No container, just log in a plastic bag.

We enjoyed wander and found only old log sheet, card and key pad... No container. Sevabo bring the resealed bag, put in the under small log cover with branches... Need urgent new cache... With sevabo, dolphia and oxcymru. Thanks team noah. See Pic.

Everlasting found it but the log paper destroyed, Thanks for leading us here

Urgent need maintence as no container - just log sheet etc... see sevabo's pics... Thanks Team Noah.

Found this back in March. Left a maintenance check but didn't real use we hadn't done a 'found' that's fixed now

Decided to straight line this one from the cul de sac. Should have read the description and walked along the track. Picked up a few hundred farms friends on the way and GPS had me in going in circles. Finally made the find. Good to see that some bush has been set aside. Thanks for the cache team Noah and bringing me here

A bit of off track walking to get to GZ. Glad I went during winter though as this is prime snake country. Couldn't find the cache at first due to GPS being a bit spotty and looking in the wrong spot. Once I stood back though and looked at where the GPS was pointing from a few angles it was a quick and easy find. TFTC!

Cache is fixed new log and new swaps enjoy.

Found it but lid wasn't screwed on very well and container was full of water. Log pretty much useless needs replacing. Track able item seemed to be not there.

Partner refused to go bush with me lol

Not the best day to be out in the bush as it is nice and hot which makes the wriggling thinags more active . After a brief walk off the track made a quick find . Needs some tlc as it is starting to stink tftc

Went for this after completing the multi nearby. Trails were zig zagging to GZ where cache was spotted. No TB in container and its all a bit wet inside container. SL returned with extra camo. Thanks for the cache. TNLN

First whole family Cache

TFTC, not a good idea to look for it in the dark! left is as found!

#1440
After a failed attempt at night many months ago, I came back this afternoon. After finding the multi, I figured this should be a breeze. Walked along the track, until I needed to bush bash and walked straight up to GZ without incident this time. Found the cache straight away to SL and TNLN. Then replaced and tried to find my way out of there.

There is something strangly adventurous and dangerous about bush bashing over grass that is one foot deep with pot holes evrywhere. Will I or won't I fall down and meet a sleeping snake, or twist an ankle? Lucky for me, I made it back to the road without incident and just a body covered in those little farmers friends clingy things . Nice cache in/out of the burbs, TFTC.

A pleasant day for a walk, birds in fine form. TNSL TFTC

Quick easy find thanks to GEO-Mike and his keen eyes. TFTC!

TFTC

Glad I carry my gumboots in the car and changed out of my work shoes before heading out for this cache. Trying to keep my find streak going and this one is sort of on my way home. Got to the cache with enough sunlight, oh I long for daylight savings. SL #412 day #25 TFTC

Day 24 of Dry July (That means one week to go!!!)
I had a few hours to spare this morning before work so headed over to this area to try for a couple of caches that have eluded me in the past - this was one.
The absence of heavy rain over the last few months has made this area much less boggy so bashing thru the bush was a lot more pleasant today than I remember it. I zeroed in on GZ fairly quickly and began my search but was empty handed after 5 minutes - Hmmm don't want to DNF this again!!
A check of the GPS and as I looked in the direction it was pointing I spied the hide!! Woohoo 1 down.
Thanks team Noah - SL TFTC

TFTC gave up on GPS and did a grid search.

I thought I was running out of time( which I wasn't) so I really charged in to this one getting to GZ quickly. GPS took a while to settle and a few locations searched but no luck. But when the GPS settled finally, it pointed me straight to the cache. Nice hide. Log and contents are slightly damp, but not too bad. The log book is still sign-able. TNLN SL TFTC.

Tftc followed the track

Was that an actual path or created just by cachers? Anyway, not much bush bashing required. TFTC.

Late afternoon bushbashing, fairly easy, fyi dont wear thongs

Bush bashing in thongs and shorts, but found instantly haha

Finally crossed this one off.
Quick find by Geoson after a bit of a bush bash!
Log was damp but still usable, oh and we did not find any trackable in the cache!

Finally had a go at this one, even though the place is think with high grass and weeds. Was able to nab it fairly quickly in the end.

TFTC.

I was lucky enough to look in the right spot right away. TFTC

Finally crossed this one off the dnf list,cheers.

Bit over grown and Cache is wet but persistence payed of thanks

Awesome!!! Will put it on the to do list.

Thanks team_noah for confirming its still there ,cheers.

all is well with the cache, the area however is over-grown so gaining access to gz should be fun, wear old clothes that you are willing to throw away because its just not worth the effort, you'll know what I mean

Found ages ago but didn't log. SL TFTC

GZ is under water might need checking, cheers.

to wet and over grown

Seems i took every path in this reserve bar the one that runs close to GZ. Made a short x country detour to GZ for a quick find. ty

Poopyface

1250, GAFF1, Not too difficult to get to GZ although it smelt like something was dead on the way through, Geoson soon had CIH.

SL, cache in good condition.

TFTC team Noah

Nice easy find. Have to watch out for spiderwebs on the way in though.

Cache found in good condition and located fairly easily. SL TFTC

Nice quick find thnks to the eagle eyes of trio junior. TFTC

Great little trek to a great cache. Put in a tb and treasures. The kids took a treasure each also. Tftc

Reperio at 0955. Not sure if I parked at the best access point, as there was no trail to be seen...and not that much bush bashing for that matter. Walked in approximately 150m before arrived at GZ, and the cache was soon spotted. Enjoyed the walk through the bush this morning.

Gratias.

tftc tnln sl found with chambos quick find

Whilst looking, 2 kid muggles came over so I sat down & sipped on coffee. Also alerted casper. The 2 kids came over and asked us if we were lost, I said 'no are u?' He said no too lol. Finally they left and looked at the foto for a clue and found it with ease. TNLS

Found after looking around and around and around

Found with Ants4x4 on a short walk from home.
TNLN T4TC

Relogging my old finds.

Found after a short time at GZ TFTC

Now that we have come I wish I'd done my homework before heading here today. Nice open bushalnd with only a few prickly acacias to stop straight line access.

If we had come prepared we would have then attempted the nearby multi but that gives us a good excuse to come back and check this patch of bush a second time.

Cache in good condition after all the recent rain. Thanks Team Noah a good spot.

Find #1102 - 9 for today. Found on 10/07/11 4:17 PM
Found after a brief search. Thanks. TNSLLN

Got a bit puzzled after I'd parked, thinking that the other half of 92NTY6 had already been and found because of the track lines left on the GPSr.. Good thing I figured I may as well give it a shot cos it turns out he had been (with geo-mutt as well) but hadn't found..

Quick find this time round.. TNLNSL (geo-mutt only took a few farmers friends back into the ute (TB4207F))

Thanks for the cache, team_Noah!

Left coin. TFTC.

Nice morning for a nice find. TFTC

Found it on a nice afternoon, TNLN.TYFC

Great little hike in,
Got shown an amazing card trick on our way in.
Signed the book, left an f connector.
Great place to chill

just a quick call in to see this one as we were in the area, log was no good so it was replaced, also topped up the cache, have fun

9:55am
Out caching on my bday, easy find, original log book almost at the penecillin stage, signed the new log sheet.

The log book is growing its own ecosystem.
Time for a replacement.

After bumping into riblit we got to GZ and he had it in hand before I knee it.
Well done.
SL TNLN.
Thanks.
Steveishere

Wandered in and saw a person searching, it turned put to be stevewashere. Grabbed the cache while he wasn't looking.
Log book is a bit mouldy but the loose pages sufficed.

Well I certainly managed some bush bashing on the way out from this cache, probably because I had parked at a logical spot for the multi rather than this one. Found fairly quickly, no swaps. Thanks team_Noah.
