Logs
As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been longer than 28 days since the last reviewer 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 28 days), just contact us (by email) once the cache is in place, and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.
Just performing some long overdue maintenance on this one should be back up and running within a few weeks.
Found it, couldn't even sign it as it was jammed in too much and was breaking. NEEDS MAINTENANCE!
Thanks for the cache. But it is oh so sad. It was on the ground and could see it easily as we approached. There is no lid on it and the logs are jammed as tight as in the cylinder. We pulled the first bit out and found a place to date and initial. I was able to place it 'up and under' which is hopefully out of the weather. The usual geocache stick on the ground will help with its position. But it is very vulnerable. RoamingParsons from Bargara near Bundaberg.
Found it. This is our second time we have looked for this one. So pleased we found it. Dylan Thomas Ryan Emily Allie & nanny
Up in the North East for a Christmas/New Years Break we found ourselves finding a couple of caches.
We were about to give up when we found the container. It was jammed with the log and we got it out and added our names to it eventually.
Thanks for placing the cache.

Today we travelled from Wagga Wagga to Alexandra in Victoria using geocaching as a guide.
Found cache on the ground, placed up off the ground.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Weird one. Found it lying on the ground under the SIGN half destroyed from water damage. Needs replacement. URGENTLY!!!!
So I was out & about with geobear9 this morning grabbing a couple of caches while it was a public holiday.
Off we went in the geomobile with a good feeling today was our day, figured there wouldn't be too many people around so we'd head here to find & sign the log on this one.
Heading towards GZ & I spot a caravan that looked like it was parked exactly where we needed to be.
"Oh no, what's that caravan doing there, either they're lost or they're caching" is what I said to geobear9.
In my mind I'm thinking.... of all days.... really......today please don't be muggles.
What a pleasant surprise to see the geocaching sticker on the van!
Turns out it was The Drovers.
Our first meeting with cachers while out caching.
What lovely people they are The Drovers.
We chatted, swapped stories & numbers & of course signed the log.
By the end of it all I felt like I'd just made some lovely friends.
What a great day and a great thing geocaching is!
Thanks The Drovers for everything & enjoy your travels, hope to see you again. Thankyou iamdvs & jakester12345 for putting this cache here.
Heading south for a couple of days, to cache around the hills.
Arrived at GZ up with the caravan in tow, and geo-hubby checked strolled over
for a quick look while waiting for muggles to walk on by.
A vehicle then pulled up behind us - more muggles we thought, but were delighted to meet
geobear 9 & arielisme. Geo-wife made the find, the log was signed by all, and the mini event started.
After discussing caching information, phone numbers were exchanged and new friends were made.
Gotta love this hobby !
Many thanks for placing this cache, iamdvs, for us and others to find.

The cache needs some maintenance urgently, the original log is soaked and the container is very battered, I couldn't get the lid on properly.
Found as Nicnax with PapaGrouch. Second time I've looked for this and was successful this time. The cache needs some maintenance though, the original log is soaked and the container is very battered, I couldn't get the lid on properly. TFTC
Found it on 4/9 but forgot to log it. Added a new log and a pencil as all the contents were a soggy mess. Also left some foreign coins in cache. Geo hubby and I felt quite mischievous finding this one. Excellent hide.
Didn't realise climbing was required here, and it was only as a last resort, as I'd looked everywhere else. As stated the cache is mush, and it didn't help that the previous finder had left it out to dry, and there'd been a storm overnight. Thanks iamdvs, nice start to the morning
Log is stuffed and only laminated Geocaching instructions are readable. Plug of immovable sodden mess in bottom of cache. Left open to dry out. Suggest placing it upside down once dry.
On the way to the Wodonga event. Looked all over but with the gps putting me in the middle of a grassy area and the amount of traffic on the road and turning into the institution, kept going towards the event.
It took some skills to find this one. Great cache but unfortunately found a very wet log inside which could not be signed.
Had a bit of a look for this today with no luck. Will have to try again another day with PapaGrouch, maybe he will spot what I have missed.
Finally found it on second attempt, very wet. Good hiding spot and good first find, on our way jr379 and gemgem
Hi it seems this one is proving hard to find of late however was still found about a week ago I will get back to taking a look for it and doing some maintenance as soon as I can. For now I will leave it open unless it goes cold for the next few weeks. Good hunting iamdvs.
Had some fun watching geo buddies look first. Then had a primate moment and came up with the goods Fun cache. TFTC.
3482. Found by baby&Mrs gopher. The container is very wet and log is full. The cache was found out in the weather and now needs some TLC. SL Tnx jamdvs
Came here for a geokid's soccer gala day, searched before game with no success. Came back after game with more agile geokid's easily found. TFTC Sam, Fi & nassy
The designated driver today grabbing some caches along the way with J+J.au. and Wilbert67. Nice excuse to stretch the legs. Thanks.
Took a while to locate, we had a monkey with us. Log need replacing, very damp , TFTC
Second time searching for this cache and still no luck. Looked carefully in all places possible using the provided hint, as well as using comments from other cachers. Only one find in two months worries me, any chance this log could be checked?
A quick find but a great hiding spot!
Logs were damp which is a worry after the hot weather lately. Also original log is full so signed small sheet which is also filling fast.

didn't find it but found half the log book on the ground, looked for a while. so many creepy crawlers
Looked for ages and only found the remained of a log book and a snake and lots of wasps, someone may need to check its still there and replace the log.
About to give up and thought I haven't looked there yet - dog was screaming - any way found - 2 nd cache ever on the way through. Thanks for the entertainment.
Signal was jumping on both the Garmin and HTC phone. Once I was down to 1m and in the middle of the grass. Too bad. This should have been a passing through cache on out way to Melbourne. Searched the obvious things around it without success. Thanks anyway
After confirmation that the cache was still there I headed out to give this one another go. I have seen a lot of caches since I last tried and maybe the experience made this a fairly easy find today (I'm sure I looked there last time though!). Signed an old, slightly damp, log and got out of there before something crawled on me. Tftc iamdvs
And Thanks to IndianaGleeson for checking it was still there!

Confused newbie. I've tried looking everywhere. Spiders, logs, signs, off GPS coords. Time to regroup.
Found with geofriends, been here a million times would never have known it was here
Tftc. Had a look before but had to abandon due to traffic as it was dark and we were using torches. Much better in daylight.
We decided to have a quick trip into Victoria for the weekend to find some caches, so that we could have some colour on the map for that state. This was a DNF for us despite climbing on and inside the sign. We even widened the search area a bit but found nothing.
Found before the wodonga meet and greet. A quick yet clever find after reading about the slightly off
Coords. TFTC.

Yay... What an adventure. Geodad got scared by a frog, geoson got to disappear, & geo mum bumped knee... Interesting cache, thanks.
In near by tree found lots of spit fires lots and lots of the them good cache
Looked all over the place even in and on top of the two most obvious places still I could not find it
any tips or hints would be great
any tips or hints would be great
We had been here before but never without muggles around so we never had a chance to have a proper look. Mr. Lost Wanderer looked all over and then decided to go back to the most obvious place for another look. Found it then. Thanks for the cache.
My gps put me out on the grass with 3 or 4 possible hiding places within 10 meters. we searched each of the possibilities until we came upon the right one

This ccahe took us about 10 minutes to track down and when we did, our GGPS indicated that the cache was about 11m from wgere they thought GZ should be. The cache and contents were in good condition. TFTC iamdvs.
#714 found on this my 223 day of continuous caching and an early morning assault was planed after a previous muggle interrupted attempt failed this was because the GPS had me at a tree and reading the descriptions I had on the GPS did not reveal any clue to the location I had checked this area and revisited it at the other end and bingo the first place I looked was the booty.
Thanks iamdvs for bring this to my attention and allowing me to make the smiley.

Found today with the whole crew, and a newby!
Find # 556. 5.00pm. Found easily, but needed help retrieving!
TNLNSL. Thanks.

Well I was very gld to get this one off the DNF list. Jared and I searched for this one some time ago. Probably didnt help that the co-ords are a bit out and we overthought the clue!
Great find by MrsChops today! TFTC TNLN SL

Tried to find this one for my first cache earlier in the week, but gave up when started to get dark.
On my second try with a bit more knowledge I found it.

We could have been stumped by this one. Luckily I don't stump too easily!! Looked nearby and found the cache.

Find number 8 of day 4 at the Albury - Wodonga 2012 Mega Event. LouiseAnn and I had a brilliant Easter Weekend at this event. A huge thanks to the organisers and all of the local geocache owners who’s caches never failed to impress us. We had packed up and bid farewell to all our friends (new and old) and hit the road to cache our way home to Melbourne. The clues and coordinates for this one had us searching in completely the wrong areas, in the end e ignored both the hint and the GPS and did some good old fashioned cache hunting and we finally found the cache. Thanks for the cache iamdvs.
Pathfinder24 and I were so excited to be able to make it to the Oz Mega this Easter and were sad this was the last day. After the CITO and packing up the tents (didn’t take too long) and packing the car (took quite a bit longer), we headed off for more cache along the road home. We picked up quite a few caches on the way out of town, and this cache was one of them.
We were lead quite astray by the clue for this cache. Eventually the good old fashion way of cache hunting, and not the co-ords of the hint lead to the cache discovery.
Thanks for the cache iamdvs.
