Macks boat shed blocks Macksville, New South Wales, Australia
By GeorgieShrinks92 on 15-Feb-11. Waypoint GC2NZ8Q

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.

Could not find this one! Run out of time

Not Found cant find no cache there[Time to Find: 32 min]

Well we were definitely looking in the right spot according to the description and hint, found a great pile of litter on a block but nothing to be found under it. Checked other spots for a while until someone from the neighbouring business came over to see if we were OK. We explained the hobby which he thought was interesting and was quite happy for us to come his side of the fence if necessary. After about 15 minutes we had to admit we weren't going to find it this visit, despite searching a bit of the surrounding area as well. Thanks GeorgieShrinks92.

Nice hide. No one around made it easy. Forgot to bring pen so couldn't sign log. TFTC

Surprised myself that I found this one so easly, a friend told me that he missed it, It had good clues.

We were here in 2011 just after the floods when this cache found it's way to the Pacific Ocean. No problem finding it today SL, TNLN, TFTC

Found with 'vaggfam' and my cousins. (First of the day). Thank you.

Found on 2nd attempt. No pen on me but have photos if required. Thanks.

By the boat shed I mucked about for a bit, but couldn't find a cache [:o]
Maybe there were more clues in the previous cache finder's logs ?
Or even in the terrain ratings

OK !! So I'm not looking hard enough

Next spot I looked, a full 300 mm from my last spot and I found a cache

Nice spot by the way !!

Finally found with a little help about 300mm from where I looked last time.

Thanks Georgie Shrinks for the cache, left a fridge magnet.

SL

There is only one obvious location for the hide, and it appears to be not there...

Would be great to get an update from someone who knows.

Pat

A quick find of a small small.
A bird fell out of the tree on the other side of the ramp while we were there and landed in the water. It really looked upset when it surfaced. Never seen that before.
Thanks.

Found after work one night.

Easy find.

SL TN left sinker

No luck in Macksville today at either if the caches we tried. Luckily we picked up three in our way here or we would have lost our confidence. This one wad hard because a guy was hosing in the adjoining yard. We just couldn't keep poking around. Next time.

Found late in the arvo, props to mum. TFTC

Found it whilst in Macksville for the day

Forgot pen, Pic of log book attached.

A reasonably quick find though only a few names on log sheet
Most likely not the original container
TFT hunt

Near enough to the beaten track that a short detour would not hurt - extra enjoyment came from the XPT that crossed the bridge while we were there (myself being a train spotter/rail fan) TFTC quick and easy find

DNF - searched high and low, even phoned a friend for advice with no luck... searched all the cement blocks... think it may have washed away... may need checking...

Quick find

Because of trying to get a Challenge cache up and running on the Mid North Coast we were a bit behind in the logging of caches found while heading North on our road trip with MVMtBiker and Grahame Cookie.
Not sure if we will get a chance to check on the cache tonight (15/2/13) as we head to Yarrahapinni or not, but hope it is still there.
As the others mentioned, we were surprised that we weren't the only ones in the area, tho the others were in a boat fishing, listening to music.
Hope they weren't distracted by our LED headlights.

(Late logging of Find - 31/1/13) Found with MAP's and Cookie.
Nice to be able to share the driving rather than having to pedal.
Why would you want to fish at that hour of the night - okay, why were we caching at that hour ?
Left zip bag
TFTC George Shrinks 92

0005 Another 'day' / night, and another Calendar day filled. This time out caching with MAP's and MVMtBiker, along for the drive.
I was surprised at the fishermen on the river at that hour, and they were probably wondering about the goings on on the rivers edge. But did they need to have the music turned up that LOUD?!?
GAFF3, had to go back to the car for an extra clue.
Left a Ziploc bag for the logsheet.
Brought through for mileage: Through: Coins - 3Bros, Lighthouses, IconicBridges, B2B, Baa, Neigh Neddy and Oink, and Travel Unicorn Geocoin, and trackable shirt.

# 2499. Travelling north with Robmc today and we are collecting a few caches along the way. Made our way to GZ which was amazingly quiet and had a quick scramble for the cache. It didn't take too long and we were on our way again. TFTC

Travelling from Port to Maclean with Bettyboo3747. Grabbed enough along the way to keep us awake through all the road works.
Some one had been on the ramp before us as it was dripping wet - made it a bit slippery. The title gave a great hint though and the cache was soon in hand. Nice spot.
Thanks, Robmc.

A short search soon had the cache in hand.
This would be a nice spot to wet a line.

Down this way for the afternoon. There was no log book in the cache, so i left a scrap of paper in it with room for a few signings.

Cache n go on my road trip, lovely location, tftc

Heading up to Gumma Reserve for the week end so thought we would find a few caches that need to be found. The week end has been windy but its always good to find a few caches.

Thanks GeorgieShrinks92

Took some geo newbies for their first find.

Quick find while passing through to stretch our legs

We were on our way home from the Gold Coast when we decided that this would be a good place to rest, let the dogs stretch and us grab a cache! Luckily we did the cache straight away because we were soon swamped by inquisitive local kids who wanted to know all about our dogs and why they had color on them!!!

Nice find, we needed a reason to stop. Thanks for helping us along the way home.

An easy find. It looked out of place to a cacher, but not to anyone else.

Found on the way home from a holiday on the Gold Coast. A quick aand easy find though the old legs didn't like that bit of aclimb after sitting in the car for a few hours. TFTH SL TNLN Picked up TB and will drop of down south. Cheers 4 now.

Great quick find, thrilled this is back in play. A train went by as well, bonus

Lamb TB visited

Out on an overcast day to drop off some TB's collected in Parramatta Sydney. Lovely spot to stop and take in surroundings. Waited briefly for train but being a public holiday no luck.

Wandered down to GZ with the geo-son but was initially thwarted in our search by a muggle parked in his car at the top of the ramp. Nevertheless geo-son scrambled over the bank and the cache was found just as the afternoon northbound XPT rumbled over the bridge. Many thanks GeorgieShrinks92.

Lovely sunny day beside the river. Tftc TNLN

Today I decided to attempt GeorgieShrinks92's caches in the Nambucca Valley. They take in rivers, creeks and beautiful farmscapes. I had an excellent day out.

This one was a quick find that gave a me a new perspective on the Nambucca River. It was very quiet at the location when I was here but the large number of trailers made it obvious that there were plenty of people out on the water.

The 'needs maintenance' attribute should be removed as the cache is in perfect condition.

T4TC.

Pretty easy find but a few muggles around. Kids don't miss anything. Thanks GeorgieShrinks92

Managed to retrieve the cache in spite of lots of muggles. Thanks Georgie Shrinks92.

Had to wait a few minutes because a bloke was at the waters edge on the phone for sometime. Quick find after he moved on. SL TFTC. cloudglider

TFTC,
Second attempt to find this cache, last time was after a flood. Visited trackables learning about Australia.

Very peaceful spot on the river today. The Geowife especially enjoyed this one as she grew up in Macksville so insisted she show her favourite spots she knew when growing up.
no swaps today but thanks for bringing us here.

beatific macksville

We have driven through Macksville many a time. Always in too much of a hurry to get to out holidays, so have never made the time to get this cache. After another holiday up north, being washed out, we had the time today. Pulled into the boat ramp with the caravan on, so that would have looked weird. After a 50 point turn managed to drive out forwards.
Cheers from Browngang

Found in the dark, SL TFTC

Cache high and dry..a quick find..TFTC GeorgieShrinks92

We decided to do the "stand back and look" first with this one, then went straight to it, not obvious unless you are looking...TFTC GeorgieShrinks92!

Quick find on our way home from the Taylor's Arms ANZAC day service-lovely day out. TNLN. TFTC.

Found with Skypirate. Geo Dad MrDamage took us here to search for it. Not too hard.

Found on our way home. We arrived at the boathouse and had to wait 15 mins for a boat muggle to launch his boat, park car etc before we located the cache quickly. TFTC

Found with Max. Not quite where the clue stated but close enough! TFTC.

the hint didnt really help.

Number 3. This is getting interesting. Great hints. Very helpful!

I didnt read the description initially and ended up scrambling around the blocks over the water. Having not found it I thought I should read the cache and 1 minute later the cache was in hand.

Located 5:50 PM. Not too hard to find took nothing but left a small boxing monkey. TFTC Was tempted with the badge as I plan to make a camp blanket.

Nice simple find with Glenlei

Nice easy find. Thanks!

Quick grab, passing by, just seen a huge lizard on the ramp. TFTC

Just moving the NEW HINT to the top of the logs for future cachers to see more easily.

you are looking for a 250ml Sistema lock n lock at top of bank at GZ between thin sheoak and the wire fence under brick slices and sheoak needles close to concrete slab. Please replace camo to keep cache hidden.

TFTC

TFTC easy find dodging the rain
Accompanied by Missluckie and Allturners

This was our 2nd attempt on this one. Using the hint, we quickly found the cache in a nice little spot by the creek. TFTC

Found by Geo kids Christopher & Samantha had to wait for muggles to leave, finding Nemo was easy even with high tide.

Found easy enough, although the tide was up and I nearly fell in. It didn't worry the kids who jumped in and were nearly taken by a savage mullet.

easy find,helped by relies,took pencil topper and left fish.tftc

Late night caching on the final epic trek south ..... water level was down and GZ was spied from the ramp ..... a quick relocation and the cache was in hand.

TFTC ..... TN L Aussie Skate Synchro Badge ..... SL

Found easily with a hop, skip & a jump! Tftc

Found today on our way to port. Tnln. Sl. Didnt notice tb.

This is my second attempt at this one.

found this one onthe way home from a stay in Cofffs, tide was up so we took the 'alternative' route!!

nice easy find, river high due to l9ots of rain in the past few days - but cache a o k!!.

Found on the way home from Queensland. Easy find but bogans were staring at us hahaha

Thanks For The Cache
found this one while on a Geo-Trek Caching holiday with TeamBooo, Booo's Dad and Booo Booo to Queensland

Walking towards GZ,thought we were going to get wet feet,but no,not a problem.TFTC.

Nice spot for a cache with lots of fish jumping late this afternoon. Cache went missing with high water. It is now replaced and you are looking for a 250ml Sistema lock n lock at top of bank at GZ between thin sheoak and the wire fence under brick slices and sheoak needles close to concrete slab. Please replace camo to keep cache hidden.

Didn't find this one and seeing the extending no. of DNF's I'm suggesting the owner may need to have a quick look to see if its still there.

Cache must be gone. Turned up and the search was on but the hint did not reveal the cache.
There are so many recent DNF's I would suggest checking the cache out.

Not found

2nd DFN of the day with only 1 find all day. This cache is definately not where the hint suggests nor any logical place nearby.

Only a quick search but no luck

Cache gone looked for ages wasted time

Had a good look all around, hint didn't reveal it. Given the previous DNF the cache may be gone.

Searched high and low at GZ, and could not find it.Perhaps it was taken by the recent flooding as the area showed signs of having been inundated

Reperio at 0930. After making our way through the hoards of traffic and fire crew, and with the street partly blocked off due to a nearby fire of sorts, we parked and wandered over to GZ to make the find on the cache.

Gratias.

Travelling up the Pacific Highway and looking for a cache we hadn't found in the past when we spotted Macks boat shed blocks. A quick deviation had us parked with 40m of GZ.

Only took a minute to locate the cache and from GZ you could certainly see the Bream swimming around nearby.

Signed log.

Thanks for the cache

Replaced the old log page for a new one.

Hey geocachers, I will be updating the size of the geocache in the coming weeks. Macks boat shed blocks will remain in the same place

Have changed the coordinates..much closer now. Also the travel bug has headed to Newcastle.

Please recheck your coords - I agree with "Hoojar" a few logs earlier... coords should be more like 30 42 356 152 54 963.
Unless you fix, downloading GZ won't really help others.

Coordinates changed from:
S 30° 42.411 E 152° 54.912

Coordinates changed to:
S 30° 42.355 E 152° 54.960

Distance from original: 423.1 feet or 128.9 meters.

New coordinates.

Drive from Brisbane to Forster, caching along the way. Nuvi had GZ way, way off. Rereading clue and description, we found ramp, reread logs and managed to find cache. GZ coords need readjusting. TFTC

Found with TassieGirl on our way home while on holidays.
The original co-ords had us obviously in the wrong spot.
Went through a few previous logs and found some alternatives.
Using those combined with the hint we soon had the right spot and had our names added to the list.
TFTC.

Found with Bedmaker.
We went to the posted co-ords but all that was there was an industrial place and railway. After checking previous logs we found the correct co-ords and cache was found easily.
TFTC

TFTC GeorgieShrinks92. This is my 100th cache so it's a centenial celebration cache hunt and didnt come without a challenge. Water level up the boat ramp was quite high today possibly after all the rain, so had to find an alternate route to get to GZ. Once there all was well and found cache quite easily. SL. TN. LN. Yippee 100....one can only aspire to reach 100 years old and get that all imortant letter from her majesty, Mmmm I wonder if she knows of Geocaching?

Needs a new dry log and co-ords changed to:

S 30° 42.355 E 152° 54.960
