What a circus!
Working from a very old pocket query we managed to find this one, some 44m NW of the posted co'ords. The container has almost disintegrated and the logbook has all but decomposed! Collected up the geotrash for disposal.
Travelling homeward: Naracoorte SA to St Leonards Vic multiple breaks and lots of smilies in 12 hours.

Our thanks to nedc for bringing us here.

PostScript: Only when we went to log our find did we discover the cache was archived in April 2013.

As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner 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 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

I was heading for another cache when this one came up and confused me no end. I stopped to look anyway and found it as had another searcher, about 40+ metres from GZ. The container is not waterproof and while the log is currently dry, it has obviously not always been so.

I took some coords - S37° 15.102 E141° 43.722.

Plastic containers don't rust but in the end if the owner is not able to maintain it, or have it maintained, it needs to go.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm 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 30 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 month or so to keep everyone up to date.

Coords are miles out and have never been updated, cache is pretty much a write-off (ie rubbish by definition) and the owner hasn't logged in for over 2 years. Time to go, even if just to save people their time and effort searching for something that's not worth finding and not where it's meant to be.

Needs new log book and possibly new container. Log is wet and container is rusting.

Found after a long time searching. Cache was 42 metres away from co-ords and was soaked.

Was just about to give up due to approaching thunderstorm - lightening all around and rain had just started coming around, but smarty geo dad found this one - funny we had parked beside it. TFTC. All contents wet inside.

found it, 47m away and wet.
cheers

Found this cache today half full of water. Tipped out water. However did not have any spare equipment with me to replace anything. All contents are waterlogged.

Easy enough find, disspointed that it's not waterproof anymore though. Sorry I didn't have any spare replaceable items with me. Tipped water out, couldn't SL unfortunately.

I was on a roll today but couldn't find this one. Sure I had the right tree and there was a caching big stick resting against it as well. Had a good look around but maybe I was in the wrong place. My etrex was a bit all over the place. tftc anyway nedc. Nice spot.

We were very fortuanate that we were able to get a few extra days off after Easter and after attending the Oz Mega event for the first four days we decided to head across to this part of the country and spend a few days picking up some local caches in the Riverland area. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and we are now heading home hoping to grab a few more caches on the way.
Our thanks to nedc for the cache.

Logging all my old finds...

Nice spot that is good for a break on our interstate trip

Thanks for the cache!

Cache was not at posted coords. Thanks for the better coords jugglinggogre.

When found the cache was full of water - definitely not the right type of container for a cache. The contents of the cache are in poor condition, the log book was swimming inside it's ziplock bag - I didn't even try to make a mark on the slimy thing.

Despite the problems I appreciated the scenery at GZ.

Thanks for the cache nedc.

Coordinates were about 50m out but found it after reading other logs. Pen in container doesn't work either. TFTC

I found this cache while staying the weekend at Harrow. It was 45 mtrs North of the co-ords. What a lovely area. tftc, tnln.

Found after a heap of guess work and hints from the previous loggers. Didn't have the coords from Beakers Bunch but it was enough to know it was 40 to 50m away.
Made a waypoint which is
S37o 15.102'
E141o 43.726'

Cheers

Found @ 10:56

seeing as this one was on the way into Balmoral from the last cache, couldn't miss the find. I was glad to use Beakers co-ord also! Have posted mine which are very similar!

TFTC

Will have another look after reading other comments.

Thankfully we had previous logs with more accurate co-ords. We would recommend using Beakers numbers to save yourselves a lot of mucking around. SL TFTC

Found by Mary & David at 1125. We hunted around for 15 minutes at the posted GZ with no luck. We then checked previous logs and found Beaker's coordinates. After we plugged those in, our new GZ was about 40m NW from where we had been looking. That's not enough error to be the usual datum issue. Went to Beaker's GZ and, sure enough, there was the cache. Our thanks to nedc.

Easy find once three trees were found, didnt need the cords. About the same as beakers may need updating, or change the name to "The Three Trees"
tftc sltn Cheers

Found with Lowus on our Western Victoria caching day.
Only found thanks to the previous logs. The coords were out some 46 - 50 or so metres.
For others having a look for this cache try these coords:
S 37 15.100, E 141 43.725... that may make things a little easier.

This was one of the harder of the day, alot easier with 2 people.

Found the cache today at 2.00pm with beanie.



Pulled up at  the coords and looked every where for at least



20 minutes and could not locate  Looking at the last log entry  I then thought this can't be the right spot.



Beanie back tracked down the road a 100 m or so and spotted three trees



in a row.   Went to the middle tree and had the cache in hand.. I would suggest



that the you check your coords and edit the cache as they were out a fair bit.



I also had a few little
gliches when I put out my first caches.



Left a smiley badge and a key ring and took a dice. And a FIRST TO FIND



Thanks  nedc  for the cache

Coordinates have been checked an have found to be the same as the ones listed.

Please check and fix. This definitely isn't right (as per our DNF).

We have absolutely no idea what's going on with this cache. We visited the published coords, which look absolutely nothing like an old road next to a new road, and found signs of searching, with a square-shaped indent in the ground (such as a container), but no cache. Extended the search outwards and still found nothing. On the drive out, we noticed the old road, so we pulled over and had another extended search. Again, there were signs of searching, and some very likely-looking hiding spots, but no cache.

I would almost say for certain that this cache has been taken (very unlikely) or the coords are wrong. The fact it was published on the 13th and still has no finds are testament to this.
