This cache has gone missing multiple times I’m tired f replacing it as much as other cachers are tired of not being able to find it. Time to let it go.

I had a very good look with a torch and a good prod and as I have tiny hands, also a good feel. I really think this one has disappeared.

Day five of our journey from Innes Park ( Home) to St Arnaud. Saturday night in Goondiwindi after driving 765 Klm. Sunday Night in Bourke after driving 654K. Monday Night in Dubbo 475Klm and Tuesday night still in Dubbo. Wednesday night we are in Hay after 564Klm.
Apologies fort boiler plate logs. Arrived and searched and searched and nothing where iit ws supposed to be. Walking away thinking DNF annd Mrs youngoldfella saw a roll of paper on the ground about three meters from GZ. You guessed it. The cache log. It is now in a clip seal bag inside a regular eclipse tin right in the middle under that object. Line trimmer should not reach this. TFTC.

Found during an epic long weekend of quality caching around the Riverina with fitzy_1965. Lots of km's covered including some fun wheeling in the beautiful countryside meant for a thoroughly enjoyable trip Big Grin

After a DNF at this one ages ago as it was missing, it was an easy find here as it was out on the lawn! Surprised Looks like a lawn trimmer had whipped it out from it's hidey hole. Signed log then placed back where it belongs. Good to turn this one into a Smile

Thanks for the hide, wbfoto Cool

Thanks wbfoto !!

A good spot for a lunch break in the shade.
Thanks for the cache wbfoto,

After a wonderful time in Barcaldine attending the QOGM 2018, it is now time for me to head back to Victoria. I travelled from Barcaldine to Parkes in the company of Team Crackers. Geoturtle37 and Papi4506 joined us for the trip down to Blackall. A vehicle issue caused me and Team Crackers to stay an extra day in Blackall to await the finish of the public holiday on Monday so that the required part could be purchased and fitted before the journey continued.

Quite a few stops were made to quench the thirst for another cache find and I thank all the CO's for their caches and the enjoyment they provided to the caching community.

Nice quick easy find for us here today. Thanks for the cache and thanks for bringing us here.

Cache has been replaced Recently. And has been found by others since it has been done. It’s there I checked again today. It’s obvious that this cache is a problem for a certain cacher. They seem to be the only ones who can’t find it. Instead of trying to get it archived maybe they should just stay away. Or do what most others do and take a spare container and log sheet and just replace it if they believe it’s not there. This cache only seems to go missing after they have been there?

Hi there Reviewer,

RE: The cache ""

I'm following up on my "Needs Maintenance" log which is now well over 30 days old & there has been no action by the CO. The cache appears to have been abandoned and should be archived.

Regards

Ian & Penny

Sorry that this one is missing again. It was replaced. I believe it’s a whipper snipper that is the cause. Will replace again. When I get back home in a few weeks. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hi there wbfoto.

This is the 1st of 1 caches we didn't find today. Twisted[:(!]

We spent quite some time here at around 11:56:00 AM, but we just couldn't locate your cache, so here's a DNF from us. Twisted

Hi there wbfoto,

RE: Your cache **"barnado park"**

We are really sorry to report that the cache is missing.
You promised to replace it over 9 months ago. It really needs some owner TLC.

Regards

29-Sep-17
In West Wyalong for a couple days out this afternoon to pick up a few caches. Don't know how the previous cacher found this one. I had plenty of time and muggle free to search this very thoroughly. I had hands stick and mirrors. No sign of it. Will put a needs maintenance on it. TFTC
 
29-Sep-17
With all the dnf's and a suspect log prior to my visit. I have made a thorough search with all the tools of the trade and no sign of it at all. CO needs to take a look.

Thanks

I've never been lucky enough to have this happen to me before Surprised
A work trip, driving to and from Dubbo in NSW Cool
For OHS reasons we all know that fatigue kills and so it is vitally important to stop and take a break, have a stretch of the legs and another coffee or fluid intake session [^]
Over the 3 days I made 14 Smile finds and a couple of those were an EC and a Virtual that I was ever so pleased to find Cool[^]
There were 5 DNFs Sad all up and the 1st DNF was at the very 1st cache stop, although as soon as I saw what the cache was Twisted I didn't have much of a look at all as I couldn't keep my colleague waiting! She was fantastic company for the whole trip and ever so generously patient when I needed to stretch my legs [:X]

DNF! Sad Hoping for a quick find of an easy cache but once again there were several DNFsSad
I tried everything here and it seems I'm now not findng a cache in West Wyalong tonight after all SurprisedSad
2 DNFs Sad for 2 cache attempts SurprisedTwisted

No luck 2day
 
15-Aug-17
Found GZ quickly but even with little hands getting right underneath the appropriate cache hide we could not find the little blighter. Think it needs to be checked.
 
05-Aug-17
No luck for us today despite a thorough search. Next time !
 
05-Aug-17
A short 1000km round trip out to West Wyalong and back with fitzy_1965, AngelG27 & specimenX. This was hopefully the last test for my probation to officially head out with the gang on future geomissions as a fully fledged 'caching wench' Very Happy We signed all logs as Charlie's Angels today. Had many stories and laughs along the way.

Unfortunately a DNF for us here today. Searched as best we could. I got my hand right under but came up with nothing.

This was gone last time we were here, easy find today.
 
20-May-17
TFTC. We are camped at the West Wyalong Showgounds, mainly waiting out the rain. They got 28ml in the last 24 hours. Rather than rushing off North we though we would spend another day. At least it gives camping grounds a chance to dry out. It is a sunny Saturday and having walked the town we head toward Wyalong and Yidda finding caches as we enjoyed the sunshine.
Not too many mugglets about so it turned out to be a quick find.
 
17-May-17
Heading to Darwin by the long way up the East Coast grabbing caches along the way. TFTC. Big Grin
