Old Stock Yards - Barooga State Forest Barooga, New South Wales, Australia

Unfortunately, I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore as advised previously, the cache is being de-listed (Archived) to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

The [**Geocache Maintenance guideline**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains what needs to happen with a Disable cache.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article [**here**](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

If you wish to contact me please send an email via my profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

---------

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

I notice from one or more log entries that this cache would seem to be in need of some help - **there appears to be a need for owner intervention.**

Therefore, the cache is being temporarily disabling so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) I cannot see any log that indicates a recent visit by the CO to this cache.

If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) by **28th September,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?

You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:

- Repair and/or Replace your cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.

- If you don't plan on fixing it up then please [**Archive it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.

- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (by 28th September). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will unfortunately have to de-list (Archive) the cache on the basis that it has been abandoned.

Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

DNF

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Needs maintenance

We were in a bad patch for some DNF's in the area. Not sure if someone has come through and taken them or our cache blindness was in max today.

Like bill from barooga (who had found it before) said, it's gone. (From someone else that has found it before.)

One DNF on this sort of hide, is not worth an owner maintenance flag. Cleared for now.

Someone had used it for stock or ponies recently and the cache has gone

Thanks Blacklegend. Another great hide. I can see a pattern emerging in your hides. Quick find

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one of the list

nice area thanks found it

Victorian Murray River region caching weekend 2015. Once I found a track to get me here I was happy to see the likely culprit quickly, but getting the log out was a much harder challenge. I eventually found a tool that worked and managed to sign this very creative cache.

Thanks.

On about my 8th try with the grass a bit shorter walked straight to it found it right on the coordinates. A great day it's true but now I'm going to have to get a new dnf to obsess over still a beautiful bit of in town bushland tftc

I almost gave up on finding .this one. I went round and round the yards and walked away a couple of times but the gps was right on it. Very sneaky hide.

Loved this cache Blacklegend. Wasn't sure what to expect but sighed with relief at GZ as I've done one like this before - ver sneaky! Had to make use of some of the surrounds to help me out. Just wanted to log this one before the TBs I have with me visit the TB motel down the road, have more logs to follow. Fave point for you!

Wow that was harder to spot than we were expecting . We are experienced cachers and this one took us a good 15 minutes searching. We have seen cache containers like this before but we werent looking for this type of container here... well not until we had exhausted the more expected avenues...Well played blacklegend... well played.Tftc.

Drove to Cobram to do some sightseeing, and pick up a few caches while in the area.

After scanning the area, the odd thing out was soon spotted.
A favourite point from us, for the camo - great job.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Blacklegend, for us and others to find.

Grass was long and dry and I was worried about snakes especially since I nearly walked into one while walking on the other side of the lagoon. Long story short I still can't find this one.

DNF the grass was a little bit long

Found it again! Took the relatives down to look for it. They all gave up and started throwing sticks in the river- not me- found it again!

Coords show a likely spot bit no good. This may be my Achilles heel ha

This looked a bit like an unloved cache as was beckoning us to come and find it. There was a bit of water on the track and even a fallen limb, which we pulled out of the way, then it was on to this nice little oasis. After reading the logs, we thought it would take some looking but geo son, walked almost straight up to it. Used a tool to reach log. Nice clever hide, worth a fav. Thanks again Blacklegend.

What a way to celebrate our 100th cache!! This cache had us beat for over 2 years!! Several attempts and several eyes to help over the years with no success... One more try - and FINALLY FOUND IT! We wanted to mark our 100th with this one as, well... we just HAD TO! Amazing cache hide, very creative!! (Do have to thank geo-dad for help on this one though)! Thanks for the cache blacklegend, you had us for quite some time on this one!!

Found the track in after a couple of false starts and drove to within about 15m.
That's when the fun begun. Did a circular narrowing of GZ as the GPS wasn't happy with me bringing the car down here in the first place. It soon settled, and I got lucky with a quickish find of this well placed and suited hide.
Adding a fave Ads, just love a bit of effort put into a hide

Well, into the forest we did go, and after a couple of wrong turns micheena and I managed to navigate ourselves to the stockyard. Thankfully for my second attempt at this cache I had a second pair of eyes on the job. Without to much looking
the cache was soon in hand. A very clever camouflage too! SL TFTC

got it. good one

At last- sad thing was CB found it after 5 minutes and I said that that could not be it. After reading everyone else's comments re great camo and needing a screwdriver, I went back out today and it was what CB found. GREAT hide!

There were 13 of us searching for this on a chilly winters afternoon. Not sure if its survived the tornado but I love a challenge and will be back!

We read the logs and thought we'd have a look. Track was very slippery after heavy rain. Read prior logs but after half an hour gave up the search. Pretty little spot.

Well I spent 40 minutes searching around the stockyard, but unfortunately I have come up empty handed. Blacklegend your prototype cache is very good I lifted moved and pushed but nothing. I may need some extra assistance to find this one, I'll be back for another go at it.

I found me way down one of the side tracks to the stockyard.
Doesn't look like it's been used in a while !!
Unfortunately it looks like someone has been sawing bits out of the railings to use again, probably in furniture
Good, seasoned bits of river red gum are not easy to come by !!
Meanwhile I had a damn good search of GZ.
The obvious spot to look didn't give up any caches and so I widened my search before reading the cache notes again for clues.
The previous note gave a valuable clue
Well sort of..... it suggested that the cache had moved from the 'obvious' place.
So I kept poking around !!
After 45 minutes of grass seed and prickle filled entertainment, I spied something that fitted the bill for a 'hand crafted' cache [:o]
I reached over to pick it up.... nup!!.... just a ....wait a second.... Ha !! Gotcha
I had kinda suspected this sort of camo, but darned if I could find it for ages [^]
TFTC, it gets a fave for location and sneakiness

It's still there. Checked it today.

It was 8 metres out from what I remember.

Enjoyed the walk into these old stockyards but a degree of frustration as the GPS kept changing its mind and would not settle.looked everywhere possible but no luck. Very disappointed that vandals are sawing off many of the planks comprising the stockyards. Thanks for bringing me to this historic place

We walked the last section into this cache, although I suspect we could have driven. The grass had grown up around the stock yards, and it made it a damp walk in.
We searched for a while but had no success.
Thanks, Robmc.

Couldn't find it even after a fairly extensive search and worse--- in company with a previous finder.
Maybe next time.
Thanks anyway.

no luck on this one - will try again.

Found today after giving up last week.
My very first find.

Found today at lunchtime, I went in last week just to find where the stock yards where and if I could get in with my 2WD. Not a problem. I had an idea what I was looking for as I have struck one other like this (probably it's twin). Excellent cache there Blacklegend you excel once again ... TFTC.
The grass is long so be aware of snakes and I didn't lose my keys this time in the grass.

We had a very hard look for this one but still no luck.

Could not find as GPS had us 100metres over the other side of the water and I was not going to get wet. Nice drive perhaps another time.

micheena - wasn't on the ball last time in the area, (2 days ago), but out today to collect missed opportunities. After finding right track, spend a bit of time looking, our GPS seems to be a bit out from your co-ords, (as we found out, the pattern continued for the rest of the day).

Found after the footy in Barooga today.Another nice area,interesting yards and great well hidden hide.Love the camo.
TFTC Blacklegend

Couldn't find it but i was a good drive in the rain there.

Found in the company of the Earthbound family, walenators and the Farmers 5, good camo in an interesting spot. Geotrail led us to the prize.

Another nice hide, very nice camo this one.
Co found the very well hidden container as Lostmonster was just admiring the area, a top spot for a cache.
Many thanks........TNLNSL.

Plenty of roos on route to GZ with Walenators and Earthbound crews in hot pursuit.

We soon found the nicely hidden stash and signed the paperwork.

Thanks to Blacklegend for a nice cache and well planned weekend.

On arrival at the Gz,what a wonderful sight was had. The cache was found rather quickly but we had trouble opening the container. Eventually we got it open and the cache was signed and returned its hide. Thanks again Blacklegend. Found with the Farmers 5, and Earthbound Control TFTH...SL....TNLN

#1720 Found with Haveanez and DJ Rascal on the Cobram & beyond caching weekend. This was an interesting place and probably a great place for the stock yards with plenty of water around. Top spot and a nice hide, thanks heaps Blacklegend [^]

We followed the geotrail to this one and looked in all the places where we found the grass flattened by previous searchers but Big Ez had found the container some distance from where my Gps was saying 3mt.
Really liked this area and wished I had packed the camera, something I didn't even consider bringing on this trip.

TFTC, Cheers.

TFTC, difficult find at night, found with Roostaman, Fred6603, and Hinco

There were kangaroos spotted on the way in to this one! A bit of early morning activity for all of us. In convoy with Farmers 5 & Walenators. TFTC

Found with a cpl of our best caching buddies, Skullracing & DJ Rascal on this cool Sunday morning! Enjoyed the drive to this one, and certainly followed the caching trails around GZ before Big Ez located the container. A nicely camo'd one too.
The Geokid was searching for "Drop bears" & cicadas whilst we searched.
A great spot for photography. Many thanks BL.

Found with Fred6603, Hinklenator and Hinco by torch light after a big drive around the area after the BBBB Event. A very nice hide that we had seen before, but eluded us for quite a while in the dark. TNLNSL TFTC Blacklegend,
Roostaman.

*FTF* #11 at 15:52 with Spladem. Found during 'Blacklegend's Bush Birthday Bash' event held on the Saturday in Barooga. We turned off the main road and headed into the Barooga State Forest for some 4WD caching. Using the satellite image on Spladems ipad and the set of park maps I had we made our way along the tracks to GZ. The weather was starting to fine up a bit more too as it was very cold earlier on in the day. We arrived at GZ and started our search. Spladem found the well cammoed cache and we had to use a screwdriver to pry it open. Another empty logbook revealed itself and we high fived. Thanks for the hide.

*FTF* by Quasar3671 and I, whilst here for BlackLegends Birthday Bush Bash Bonanza, We'd long stowed my FTF Geocoin, however we were now finding that we needn't have, We parked up close to this one and made the short walk accross.. I'd readied my self for a long protracted search, somehow I instead found it real quick in a now familiar arrangement.. Qusasar returned to the well stocked 4bi to collect a screwdriver kit to assist with lid extraction due to swelling and we were soon extricating the clean logbook for Find #1265

Found with Roostaman, Hinklenator and Hinco. We eventually found our way in to this one in the dark and after quite a search by torchlight the very cleverly camouflaged cache was spotted. Liked the camouflage on this one.

Thanks Blacklegend.

TFTC *FDF* Found with Hinklenator Roostaman and Fred6603 just about to give up on this one when it was found, clever hide.
