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.

Pretty sure it's been washed away. CO hasn't been active in a while and hasn't replied to messages.

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.

Searched and searched but just couldn't find

We entered the wrong point and had to wade though lots of mud from the building of the new housing development. After finding the track we searched all of the surrounding trees to no avail. The grass was long and the fallen tree branches had all rotted. We called off the search as the rains came.

Found it, but it was exposed and full of water

Found but, log full of water

Log full of water ...needs new log and log bag please

Need new log and log bag

Unable to write in log..but nice walk

Nice walk was unable to write in log

Logbook too wet to write in. Must have been a victim of the floods. Tftc

One cache was found. A lot if water was drained. A log was signed despite being not unlike mush.

Recent flooding filled this one up completely. Log needs replacing. I emptied the container out as it was full to the brim! Contents sodden. TNLN TFTC

Our gps went crazy, look on same side as seat and you will be close

Under a log

Found ,a nice brisk walk .

Quick find, nice walk

My coords were off but easy find

Catching up on some caches done while on holidays.

After spending the day in and out of the car with caching - most near the parking area - this one was a nice change with a short walk to stretch the legs. A lovely walk to the cache with lots of birds and animal life to see along the way. An arrival I found that the cache was out in the open and very visible to passers by. Signed the log and returned to hiding place covering with some camouflage material.

Nice easy find, camo on the lid has faded though, making it stand out a bit.

Darn magpies had my heart pumping... Major dislike for their swooping!!

Nice little park, cheers!

TFTC!! Was a bit of a walk and a pretty good hiding spot.

TFTC nice area, birds whistling, lovely. Thanks for the trackable.

Loved the bush walk great cache

Excellent hide! Thanks - smells terribly of tobacco!!!!! Urgh!

TFTC!!! Loved this spot. The cache was visible so after we signed the log (& took out a cigarette butt ewwwww) we hid it a little better. Thanks =)

Been taking my son to soccer here all season. wasn't till today that i realised there was a cache here, awesome little path. thanks heaps for the adventure.

I think we went the long way but we found it in the end

Nice walk thanks

TFTC...OMG the windiest day ever..Lovely little trail. Dropped off "Scruffy the Dog" for his next adventure.

Found it!! Yay

Very good hide

Great spot - never been here before TFTC!

Familiar location, bridge needs some maintenance.

You need to be prepared to climb.

Inside container is moist and sticky as per log, should only need good clean up.

After a long day at work I came detoured out here to make today’s find. I had put the recommended parking coordinates into the car GPS and as I arrived I wondered if I should even attempt this as there seemed to be a lot going on in the area. I think it was just sport going on on the field, but maybe also stuff on in the hall or church nearby. Either way it was on the other side of the road and I was heading away from all the noise. As it was near dark I grabbed my torch. I went to the other given coordinate, which was a trailhead for the path to GZ. After following it for a very short while it seemed to be heading away and past GZ, so I left the track and started heading straight to GZ, perpendicular to the track. This was short lived as there was a billabong blocking my way. I headed back to the given path and continued following it all the way around to GZ. The cache was easily spotted out in the open with its lid off and log gone. Someone else seems to have found this recently and made a mess of it. I found the log still in its bag (nice and dry) a few metres from the container. I walked a little further along the path to a seat, so I could clean and sign the cache. The inside of the container was wet, and smelly, and had leaves and strange small balls in it. Sorry, I did not have a rag on me so could not clean it out properly. I put it back where I thought it should go (matched the hint perfectly) and tried to cover it the best I could. It may have to be moved nearby if it is muggled like this again. As I was leaving I realised the path I had been walking was actually a full sized concrete pathway, that was very over grown and so covered with leaf litter you could barely see the concrete.
Thanks for the spooky walk in the dark and this great location!

Found at 1:35 PM GAFF1. I was drawn to this blue bag that was hanging on a tree, but it just turned out to be a blue bag hanging on a tree
So I went looking around fro a more traditional spot for a hide and as I was passing a spot, the bark camo just looked a bit too ordered and yep - there it was! Love it when you can see a spot the looks likely and then prove that it is the cache location.
This whole area is going to be totally built out soon.
Thanks morgans2320.
PS: - looking at the hint now - it is no longer as per the hint!

A nice little bit of exercise along the walking track by the lagoon. Drizzly today so no muggles to worry me.

Coords were good even under foliage so it was a simple find.

TN L number puzzle.
TFTC

This was a fun trek

0010 GAFF1 Was looking for a place to stay over on my way to Newcastle, as the older son who lives in Jesmond had gone away for the weekend, and this looked like a nice place to pitch the tent.
Hunted around to find the cache. Dry and intact, and coordinates good enough (3m) to leave a Correct Site Marker - surgical marking pen.
Will add a book mark for the Night Caching elective.
Type 1 of 4 caches today, plus a waymark or two.
Brought through for mileage: 12-12-12 Event, 3 Bros NSW, Auckland NZ'13, B 2 B Travel ingot, G Cookie Earth Cache 10 Year Celebration Coin, Iconic Bridges 2012, cache critters Baa, Neigh Neddy, and Oink, Natures Camo CITO, NZ Mega 2013 GCookie Coin, Partysmurf (Mr. Blue), and trackable shirts.

While Cookie was setting up the tent I went and found the nearby cache. A little further off the track than I was expecting, but the coordinates were good enough.

This was a great little track. I found access the long way...thinking the track was on private property. The trail was so flowy and nice on the bike with an awesome view. The cache, a good size container was found within a few minutes. Overall a good experience

TFTC Morgans

We thoroughly enjoyed the walk around the billabong, not realising it was as large as it was. Its size certainly is hidden from the road. WE were interested in the fact that the cement path stopped at a gate, and all the fences on the other side that go into the water. We wonder how much is private property.
The cache was located quickly once in the right area, even thought eh GPS was a bit jumpy due to the tree cover here.
Thanks morgans2320 for showing us the billabong and the great birdlife around here.

TFTC! Got to see a few Kangaroo's on the walk too.

Pretty cool little place

A neat little spot

easy find, grass has been worn down a bit, great walk

Great hide! It took me over an hour of looking yesterday. Today I found it in under 2 minutes once I figured out what the hint meant Thanks for the great cache! [^] (Took The Vikings 'plastic cheese', left a slinky, pen and bouncy ball)
TFTC

Done

nice hide

Another good find while in the area.

Good hide
SL TFTC

Walking along the path we found the correct place to go off the track.
So I decided that Scooby Doo would go right and I would go to the left.
Scooby Doo was right and found it very quickly.
But which way had we walked along the path ???
And was the right side , right or was it the left side ???

Hope I didn't give any clues away.

Thanks again Morgans
I love your trickey hides

Eaay find.

A lovely spot I didn't know about when visiting friends.

Rounding up a few caches we have missed around Maitland and Bolwarra.
A pleasant walk to this one for a quick find. We passed this one up previously because it was too wet. Has dried out quite a bit now. Thanks morgans2320

good hide. tftc

TFTC easy find after slippin down the muddy hill. ohwel good fun

nice hide, great spot thank you for another great cacher. I put bolt in container.

We must have come at it from a different angle as there were no concrete paths today. A quick dash was made from the car to GZ where the find was made within seconds. Was great to see so much wildlife around the billabong this afternoon. Found with Mr CDM261. TFTC.

Found on a beautiful Sunday afternoon with Mr Dazndky.
We stopped off to find this one on our way home from the Tocal Field Day - a fun day. (Got to watch my little 4.5 month old granddaughter pat a baby duck - just priceless)
Lovely location with lots of roos around in the nearby paddock.
Thanks for the cache.

Out caching with Spikeymikey and this could have been placed in a better spot, but it was interesting to see the work that has gone into this area. You don't normally get concrete paths that old in wetlands.

Easy find, right where GZ said so. Took out a play money $10 and left a mini turkshead. TFTC

Found fairly easily after fighting all the spider webs across track.

After a short jog to GZ through the slushy grass and the board walk I finally had it.
Hot, humid and sticky here today.
Thanks for another cache.

A nice spot for a cache.

TFTC

Found in the dark with phone light.. Some people just won't quit...!

an easy find, there was another cache here years ago. Nice to come back again.

Great second time round

Great second time round

Nice and easy find, and quite a nice little walk.

TFTC.

A beautiful little area. Had a nice walk around the track

Reperio at 1200. parked the car only a short distance away and made my way to GZ where surprisingly I saw another car parked only a few meters away of GZ. Luckily they moved on quickly and I made the find without too many hassles.

Gratias.

Quick find lovey walk.

Ok I have just spent an hour trying to find haw to get to dathe's forest cache and this was the next in the gps. only problem is I was sure it was your mount bolwarra I was looking for and thinking why is the gps taking me down hill. So I checked the details and relised my mistake. carried on and found the cache easly and a very nice little billabong was a bonus. Thanks for bringing me here.

A really nice walk from the parking spot down to the billabong. At GZ the GPSr was changing its mind all the time but with the help of the clue we easily found the cache.
Took nothing, left a plastic 'cheese'.

very nice spot

Found today with Team Unibolt
enjoyed the walk around pond
Thanks morgans

Nice walk around the billabong, It seem to have been taken over by huge flock of pelicans. TFTC

There was lots of bird life about as I walked along the path towards GZ.
Made a quick find just as the phone rang and scared the you know what out of me.

TFTC

Even though the heat was getting to us mr stevens and Dames went after it and Dames ended up finding it...5th for the day and Mr Stevens Cant Believe it....Great spot...TFTC...Go Team_Stevens

This one was an easy little cache, but with a little surprise at the end. The walk was quite pleasant, and I definately needed the exercise. Thanks Morgans.

Ruffasgutts4x4 and I had a blast caching around the area. Thanks for all the caches. SL (No stickers for me

Poor old Billabong looked more like a ces pool today very still and green, but the walk was a good one, though it's getting a bit hot now. I found the cache easily and continued back with Aussie Cacher Thanks for the cache

After failing to find it a few weeks ago with our inaccurate car GPS, we came back today with our new handheld GPS and were happy to find it. TFTC

Took a nice stroll from the tennis courts and back, very pleasent area.

Thanks.

We had a nice walk & found cache - love the alarm system! Took car & lizard. Left pokemon toy & dsi game case. TFTC.

A peaceful and pleasant place. TFTC

Found while out caching with The Cashman and The Don.

Nice easy walk out to the cache.

I like the container.

Thanks morgans

Found this while doing the more-than2320 tour of the Coalfields with TheWobblys and The-Don.

Now this is one of those spots that I love. A place that you would have never found without geocaching.

It is a shame that it has not been maintained since it was established.

Plenty of wildlife in the area. Be careful of snakes as we saw one near the cache.

As we were logging a large kangaroo went bounding past.

Thanks morgans a great cache

Rated: for Overall Experience

forgot to log this one after find.

This is our 4491st overall find.

Found at about 11:35 AM. After seeing the billabong from the hill above we drove around and found a park and went for a short stroll through the wetland. It was a nice little area and a quick find. The hills around here could be used for hill sprints for the fit inclined!

Thanks to morgans2320 for the cache.
