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.
We often drive through here on our way to Sydney and so thought to have a look for it but no luck on the way up so we tried again on the way back but,....... To no avail. We really had a good crack but as per the previous on or 2 people couldn't find it. Maybe needs checking.
Stopped off at this one on the way to Junee. Spent a bit of time playing in the park (no, never too old). Unfortunately no matter how hard we spent looking we couldn't find the cache.
Still glad we stopped and spent some time here.

On our way from Gundagai to Junee we stopped and made this quick find. Thanks "FoxeswDownUnder"
Found on our Wagga Wagga trip. Heading towards Gundagai to head back home to Canberra. A short drive from Junee to GZ where we found this small town that was very interesting. Went through the cool looking gate for a quick find. TFTC FoxesDownUnder!
[:(!] While in Wagga for the week I picked a few caches and this was one of them, parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes.

Have been planning another trip down to Wagga Wagga. But had to postpone it while the Geo Dawg was recuperating from her knee operation and now she has recovered it is time to put the plan into action. Rather than travelling down the boring concrete strip called Hume. I decided to head out West through Bathurst, Blaney and then South to Cowra, Young hence Wagga Wagga with a view to complete the RGGT Series and find others caches of opportunity along the way. Got out stretched my arms and bingo. Great cache. TFTC
Had to read the hint a few times but got there in the end TFTF Great little spot on our way home with M.C.Wilson
Out with Mrs Doggle this morning. Great little park. Mum made good use of the whirly-gig and she's 70 years young!. TFTH
Out with The Green Geckos. The memorium plaques were so sad, but the park was lovely. Had to have a bit of a go on the equipment. Such a child! Best whirly I've seen in 60 years. Thank you so much for taking us there, the area generally was a little surprise.
What an interesting little place - not many people about anymore. Not too much of a stretch - geocaching weekend with Nitrate1 TFTC 2BluFish
Up there! Some creative work with a magnetic wand and it was ours. Thanks for the cache.
I know I am vertically challenged, so this called for some ingenuity. Had a magnetic tool and so teased the cache down the post and returned it the same way. Lucky htis is a very quiet road! TFTC
It'll be about a month until I'll be going by this again, If anyone has spare paper they could put in before then would be great! Other wise, i'll replace it soon.
An easy find on our way from Gundagai to Narrandera. The logbook is full but managed to find a spot. TFTC
We've never driven this road before and wouldn't have it weren't for this cache. The names on the honour roll tell a sad story of this little area that gave so many. We're intrigued to learn more about Flying Officer Cooper who won the Distinguished Flying Cross. Must have quite a guy! It's a caching cliche to say, "thanks for bringing us here" - but thanks for bringing us here. [*D]
Travelling from Tumut-Gundaghai & on to Narrandera today finding caches along the way.
Have seen some beautiful scenery, dry land & good caches to make the trip interesting.
Left our caravan at the railway station to do the caches around town, so much easier.
Good place to stop & rest

Found on the way back to Canberra driving through the most incredibly spectacular electrical storm. There has been fork, sheet and fanastic ground strikes all around us, not to mention the huge downpour of rain. The local bushfire brigades are out presumably following up the local lightning strikes.
Thanks Foxesdownunder for the hunt and the cache.
PS the log sheet is full.

Took longer to sign the log and roll it back up than it did to find cache. Log book is full so will need replacing. TFTC
A nice rest on the way to Junee for TaurusSix and I. Got some leaflets and ideas of where to stay as well as a cache.
#663 found on day 182 of continuous caching and with the day of collecting wood I just had enough time to grab this one on my way home. Nearly didn't and would have had to find another close to wagga if the wood had not been to my liking in the area.
This was a very interesting location although appearing not to be used any more the information contained on the board was very informative and will have to come by this area again to read it in more detail.
Thanks FoxesDownUnder for this wonderful location.

great little cache in a place I spent a lot of time about 30 years ago playing tennis and school concerts in the hall nearby. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
On our way to Gundagai...luckily Mr Bushies2 spotted it quickly. Thanks FoxesDownUnder.
4037 + 207 = 4244. I couldn't make the Coota Event on Saturday but I could do a similar run today !

A great day to dust the cobwebs off the motorbike and what better way to do it than to go caching. Found at 1435 in the company of Rooataman.
Thanks FoxesDownUnder.
Thanks FoxesDownUnder.
I struggled with this one, but when I got at an angle where I could see properly it was not that hard after all. I just have to be more patient. Thanks.

A bit out of the way, but thought why not pick it up anyway. A quick grab on a nice little hiding spot. Thanks foxes, good to finally come across one of yours!
We had never been to this village before . It has a nice park with plenty of potential ,but a lack of TLC has let it slip which is a pity as its a great park .
The information sign has plenty of history of the local mines which we enjoyed reading.
Many thanks to FoxesDown Under for the cache and hide.

Took a minute or two to 'see' it, but no problems once spotted.
An interesting littlw spot that I bet would have some great tales to tell if it could.
As the gate was opend when we arrived, best that we shut it before we left.
Thanks Foxes....nice little spot for a cache and reason to stop.

The geocaching tools came in handy for the nab! Scored with Winglen, SolDelune and The McPhan on a wee trip through the area. Yes pity the park is a bit neglected however the history made up for that. Would love to see a cache near the nearby trenches and mine areas.
Thanks FoxesDownUnder for this one.

4515. [font=Century Gothic][green]I think the hardest thing about this cache was pronouncing the town name. Interesting that the cache and the rubber ring were in the spot separately. Sol replaced the rubber ring and we replaced the cache and back onwards we went (which is fairly obvious really).

To pick up some unfounds we chose this back way from Gundagai across to Junee. The sun was teasing us, looking like it might come out and warm things up but the day remained very cold and overcast. Anyway, there was a warm welcome at Eurongilly with a cache. Nice little spot, thanks FoxesDownUnder.
Found at 1.45.
While hubby was getting rid of cobwebs
eagleye wife spotted it.

We decided to travel through this area on our way to Narrandera, so we enjoyed the break here during our journey. I was hoping to see the cache from the ground without having to "feel" for it, as there are a lot of large spiders making this board their home. I eventually had to use the fence to gain a bit more height and spotted the cache straight away.
As others have said, the container won't close properly, exposing the log scroll to moisture. I remedied this by removing the oversized O-ring and now the lid screws up tight. The O-ring has been wedged next to the container.
Thanks FoxesDownUnder.

A quick grab on a drive out to Junee. Thankfully Black Bunny has long arms and made the grab. I was not looking forward to fighting the spiders here today.

First nano find ever for us. Gz was a bit out, but we figured it's probable location without hint. You HAVE to try the old original merry go round in the park here.
My first nano and did not now what to expect. As a result it took about 10 mins to find, even though it was right in front of me.
Great to see an old school merry go round in the overgrown kids playground.
Good fun
Quick snack and then after we had the find.
Completed with Nilmerg5 and Felony1

Tftc nice quick find on a lovely drive through this part of the country thanks for bringing us here
Found this one quickly was sad reading about how a local family lost so many sons in the world war 2 then lost some grand children in vietnam. The thread on the container isnt screwing up might need a new container. TFTC
Spent the day doing the caches around Junee. A quick find and another micro ticked off. Thanks for bring us up this way.
Enjoyed our drive along the 'back roads' to get this cache and head back into Wagga for the afternoon.
Searched a couple of little hidey spots before locating the little sucker.
Many thanks FoxesDownUnder.

TFTC, *FTF* went for a drive on my day off, found after searching and avoiding the eight legged guardians. Took longer to get the log out
