No reply from the Cache Owner. It appears that the Owner has not logged in for months.
Happy to look after the Cache or to use GZ for my own Cache as I go up there often and is a good site.

I visit quite here quite often as my partner's family lives just down the road. As you can see from the logs I like the location and have tried to help the Owner a few times by replacing the Cache. Have even tried communicating to him but no response.
Just checked an hour ago. MIA. Also there is alot of new gravel around which leads me to think that more work will be done here.
I won't be replacing the Cache until the council have finished with everything.
Will also send 1 last email to the Owner. May then ask that this Cache be archived or transferred to someone else.

I know this was replaced not long ago however it looks like the council has been through there with a grader a pushed over some small trees and alot of dirt. If the owner is to far away to check on this PM us and we can work something out.
Visited GZ. Cache was MIA again!
Replaced the Cache again.
Have not heard from the CO.

On the 29th Dec last year I replaced the entire Cache container as well as contacted the Owner. The replaced Cache was definitely findable and well out of the way of vehicles, trimmers, mowers etc.. I expect to be up there during the July school holidays. Will check and put something there if missing - if the Owner is OK with that? Its a great location!
Noone has found this one since December, 2011 when the last "needs maintenance" log was posted...could someone please attend to this one..bit of a drive up here and nothing to find!
Searched with Glenlei DNF ,found parts of a plastic container. Needs to be checked because this is the second time DNF.
Took New Geocachers Flying 49 to search for cache but could only find parts of a plastic container may need checking.
10am
Visiting partners family down the road. Replaced container and doubled snap lock bag the log. Placed cache back where I found it a few months ago. Won't be run over now!

Spotted from the car. Move by a friendly logger I suspect. Container needs replacing. See pic.
Container has been stepped on or run over. Needs replacing. Contents are all good.

11am. Searched high and low without luck.
Rainy and cold day. After such a long time since the last find, suspect that it may be missing.

Found 5:55pm great hide no wasps but dangerous hole, watch out geo kids. CPM2440 & niece. Took fuzzy bear left empowerment bracelet.
This cache couldn't be any more convenient. I was visiting a friend in the area that lived in throwing distance of this cache, so before we popped round we flew up the road and found the cache. The wasps were certainly not inactive.
Cheers.

Not sure about the logs saying no wasps! There were quite a few active, but thankfully not near the quickly located cache.
Cheers

Found it with no worries at all! Directions are spot on! This was our first ever cache found, so very exciting for us 
! Swapped a few things- lookout for the eye ball! haha!
! Swapped a few things- lookout for the eye ball! haha!Found this cache on our way north to Belingen for the night. There has been plenty of rain in the area recently so everything looked nice and green. We found the right roads to the water towers and soon had the cache in hand. We both decided that the Bowraville racecourse looked really good and that we should make an effort to attend a meeting there in the future. Many thanks for the cache Richo123
Found at 12.05pm GAFF1. We thought we were going to be in for a difficult drive to get here after TomTom insisted that we had to go up some minor track. But we followed the instructions and it was a very simple drive right up to GZ. Then we couldn't see the cache even though it was actually in plain sight - we are conditioned to look for well hidden sneeky hides!
Thanks Richo123 - glad those wasps have long departed.

A lovely quick find once we found the right road. We drove through town and saw Wilson Road on the other side and followed this for ages but saw no Valla Road. We came back into town and spoke with a local who said we needed to be on the Macksville side of town to find Valla Road. Valla Road has no sign we could see, but it is the road directly opposite the racing track and right beside the wood sawmill. As soon as you turn into Valla Road then Balance Tank Road is the first on the right, which is only 50 to 75 metres from the corner and drives right behind the stacked wood from the timber mill. From there it was as easy as pie. Thanks for the cache. TNLNSL Some very pretty country views from the road to the cache.
Tower of paper was find number 70. Took TMNT left magnetic eclipse container with pencil and logbook. TFTC. SL
FTF A place I would have never have visited if not for this cache. Thanks for bringing me here.
No problems finding the cache.
