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 sometime in the near future, 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 28 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.

751. As Mr roo and I were in the area chasing a FTF and a windmill, in the dark, I (the driver) decided I would grab a few caches on the way home. A quick find and sign and on the road again. TFTC.
 
08-May-12
Farout!! A Truck Scared the crap out of us as it flew down this road!
Took a sec to dislodge the cache from its hiding spot but soon had it in hand.

The Stormcatchers header off the tar and on to the dirt to grab a couple more caches tonight while we were out this way picking up the last of the biker series caches today. We enjoyed the night drive, the last time we were out here was in mnjontour's 4WD in pooring rain so tonight was little bit more enjoyable.

We arrived and spotted the likely hiding spot but ended up having to search a bit in dark before Mr Stormcatcher put his fingers on it to come up with the find. We thought maybe it had been muggled with some damage on the back but it was hiding safely and required a bit of effort to extract.

Thanks growingupisoptional for bringing us out here tonight.
 
25-Apr-12
A pleasant afternoon's drive clearing up some of the missing bush drive bys. Definitely a two-person effort helped. Thanks GUIO

More like 'Thanks for visiting' than 'welcome' for us. Find on the way back down the mountain with WalW.

Cheers
 
12-Jan-12
Found with TaurusSix on a full day of caching. The cache was easier to find than it was to remove it from where it hid. Left GC.
 
A nice easy find, appropriate to start with today as entering Namadgi for a day of caching/trigpoint hunting...

Had a bit of trouble locating this one at first, but a little poking around soon led us to the goods.
TNLN, SL, TFTC.
 
26-Jun-11
No luck either. Sad
Justin should let me know when he's planning a maintenance run, and I'll snaffle this one the easy way. Smile

Oh, and the road down from here was open today. Had a bit of a look, but was very muddy. As we didn't know where it would take us we decided to turn around and head back up while we could.
 
18-May-11
Was it just us or has this one gone astray as well, structure is basically OK though

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Hmmm, maybe the decision to leave this til later was the wrong idea. Not to worry though, it was only a short drive back to get it. A quick find once a t GZ.

Thanks again GUIO.
 
19-Mar-11
Found on the way back after a fairly full day further up along the Mt Franklin Rd. Cache well and truly wedged in place and ZZ7 and McPhan took it in turns to retrieve it for me. Thanks GUIO.

4071. [font=Century Gothic][green]Last time I came out this way I left this for the way back. I decided to leave it as I had just overtaken a car and cleared his dust and didn't want to have to do it all again so I kept going. No problems today even if we didn't realise that ZZ7 had found it previously.

TFTC and the hello.[/green][font=Verdana]

A quick grab with Just a Cacher and Candy Cane 101 on a run out to Bulls Head for lunch. Thanks for the cache on the run out here SL TFTC

Drove out this way with Black Bunny and Candy Cane 101 to have lunch at Bulls Head. Picked up a few caches on the way.

Was right under our noses.
 
11-Dec-10
Easy find, took a bit to get the container out, even longer to get it back in the right spot. Plenty of bullet holes nearby too.
 
11-Dec-10
(4:43 PM) Interesting amount of bullet holes in this sign. Interesting too that it is made of such thick metal that all of them failed to penetrate the rear metal layer! Cache found and retrieved by a child and replaced and dropped out of reach by me. I scrabbled about with a stick for a while but could never quite reach it. Eventually a child was recruited to retrieve it again and leave it in a better position.

Thanks GUIO. Man that road is rocky!
 
21-Nov-10
Scored while doing the "Biker"series Pt 2.

Haven't done a Namadgi cache in a while so this one must make up for it!

Now back for the Bikers!

Thanks GUIO for the cache(s)

One of the caches on the crazy cache run from 2 sticks road to Uriarra Crossing. The GeoSon stayed in the car for this one. TNLN, TFTC.
 
14-Nov-10
Found after a bit of a rough ride. I think that the rain is going to make this road very rough fairly soon. I found the cache after a bit of persistence. Hopefully I have made it a bit easier for the next person. Stick to it if you do not find it at first. TFTC
 
13-Nov-10
Our 4596th overall find. This was my 97th find of 137 total finds for our Canberra and surrounds caching spree with FarmerFrentzen

Found at about 5:08 PM. We have driven past this sign many a time when we lived in the area. It was nice to come back again today. It was a nice little hide that actually took a minute or so to remove from its hidy hole due to the way I grabbed it with my hand.

Thanks to growingupisoptional for the cache.

Found during a mini invasion of the ACT and its surrounds with Big Matt and Shell.

Welcome back to Namadgi. It has been some time since I was last here but it was great to be back.

Thanks growingupisoptional for the cache.
 
12-Nov-10
Reperio at 1000. Always delightful to see a sign like this, which means I've usually got the day off and usually out for a drive or a walk. Like the fact that this one is not a micro.

Gratias.
 
31-Oct-10
Another nice quick find by my muggle mates youngest today while we mused over not being able to get off the road here any more Sad TFTC
 
17-Oct-10
Part of the trip was to check the water crossings, part of it was for a trig. The cache was quick, but I did struggle to extract it. Back down at the river, I was a bit surprised by the trees down this time, heaps of water. Thanks.

Thought for a bit that the missing part of the structure might have meant the cache was gone. But it wasn't. ta.

Persistence prevailed .. think Mr Roo re-hid this one quite well.

ANother find as part of a circuit on a day with horrible weather. Took a while to find it due to numb fingers in the cold and then had to adapt suitable caching implements to retrieve. TFTC
 
29-Aug-10
Thought this was a fitting location for our 600th cache, being welcomed to the national park that we love to play in! Took Pikpik's Fundy National Park Geocoin and left Hammered? TB, then proceeded a bit further up the road for the entertainment promised to the kids for putting up with another geocaching run, snow! TFTC and the incentive to wander back into the Namadgi.

Found with Aussiepuschaks. keep forgetting to log my caches so dad has helped me out today. TFTC

Found with SecretSquirrel-BJC.

One of 26 caches found today. Enjoyed the drive around this circuit.

I finally made it to 400 caches on my birthday today - only took me a good few years! Have passed this spot so many times over the years driving out to Bendora Dam and the Goodradigbee River to do fieldwork, so it was nice to have another reason to notice it! TFTC
 
10-Jul-10
First find on an very adventurous mornings caching trip! So far, all easy going, no problems! The adventure was about to begin after this! Nice hide! Very neat! Chooo ooo *FTF* 1 of 3! Thanks growingupisoptional!
