No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace 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.

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.

Can't be too many hiding spots except
Under a pile of train track rubble.

Time for an owner to travel the line and
See if it is still their.
I originally meant for this to be a needs maintenance, but obviously hit the wrong button on the phone. However when checking the status of the owner, they haven't been on for about a year. I am leaving it as a needs archived for the spirit of geocaching but reading the story I feel very bad about it. Maybe if somebody is watching they could reseruct it and Ministro can also read it and make the decision he feels necessary.

Was sceptical if this was here after a couple of more experienced hunters recorded DNF's. Had a decent look but pretty sure this has been muggled.

Had a look for this one but could not find it. I contacted a previous finder who described the general area where the cache is located. This is an area I looked, but not as thoroughly as I might. I will return for another look in a week or so when I am back this way.

Came back today (24th Feb 12) and had a better look but still could not find.

Failed to find this one despite our best efforts [B)]

Nice and easy, once I found a place to park.
TFTC.

After grabbing the nearby End of the Line 6 cache, and wanting to grab another cache before tackling the muggle-prone Leapfrog hide a kilometre or two away I came to give this one a try. Muggles again, but I waited a few minutes for one to go down the path out of site, made my approach then had a couple more coming the other way to wait for (I passed them then back-tracked) before I had GZ to myself for a quick find. I made my cache a short distance away as I was worried about more passing muggles but I needn't have as the coast was clear for a quick rehide. TFTC

This was a quick grab this afternoon, had to remove more wildlife, a snail that haldane either missed or was silly enough to get back on! I never knew WOZ but I am glad to see him remembered in this way. Thanks train smash. Took the TB

Exploring the area around our new home. Needed to remove some wildlife from on top of the cache! Luckily they were only snails.... TFTC Left TB

Found this one with my two boys so I had more that one eye on them at times as a train rumbled by. A quick find and I hope he find peace. TFTC SL

Thanks for the cache, Lovely morning spent with the youngest puffling.

Been meaning to visit this one for a while. out in the car today. easy grab. Thanks Train smash.

Quick 30 meter walk from the car. Found straight away. Took TB. Thanks for the cache. Oh... a train came along while I was there and my dog wasn't too happy about that, he might not want to come geocaching with me any more... Ha Ha Ha.

Got it on the way back to the car. RIP. Thanks.

very quiet around this morning.
was able to find easierly.
thankyou. a lovely thought for your bro. [:x]

I hope someone places a cache for me when I die - what a lovely thought. Not too many muggles allowed for a quick find.

Quick and easy find. Not many muggles around. TFTC!

Nice distraction for a couple of grumpy kids while the other was busy at sports.

I found your cache today, and was saddened to read of the loss of your brother. Thanks for the cache.

Found after doing some maintenance on my cache 'Future Stars'.

dipping my personal TB

Out with team coxy

Condolences to the family and friends of Woz.

Easy walk up find. Thanks for the cache.

Went by in the afternoon, and it was a nice to find a cache in one of those little spots you find tucked away in the suburbs. I had no less than three trains go by in my brief stay. However, no-one walked past until I had found the cache and logged. I cleaned a few snails off the container. TFTC.

After class, it was time for a caching run with caching buddy Trailrunning to grab some caches along the north eastern suburbs. Weather as usual was lousy but we kept on. Found quite a number of caches and few DNFs today.

Easy find this one was. Had slugs growing on the cache container. It was also raining when I got this. TFTC Train smash

Well I'm not sure I would like to be in that underpass tunnel when a train went over. Thank you for the cache )
Took the coin left by Happy Chappies. Off to Ballarat soon, so it will come with me.

oops. forgot to drop geocoin.

After completing the nearby End of the Line I took the short backstreet drive to this spot. Not what I expected, but was pleased to find the peace and quiet to look in private. After a check of a few spots the cache was located in its very tidy hide, signed and returned with a koala GC to keep it company... TFTC.

A nice quick find ones the muggle disappeared into the underpass.

Found it. Glad it wasn't in the nearby bag of dog crap

My second cache in Australia! (i'm from Sweden) Tftc

Found this one fairly easily with djb67. Got freaked out because the train came past and caught me by surprise. It was lucky I was a safe distance from the tracks. I took nothing and gave two marbles. Like drjim7 said, sad theme.

Great hiding spot and a perfect day for a find.

Found on a lovely sunny august morning. A train passed by as we were signing the log. Took TB. TFTC

Found today with grandson who loves this game and headed directly to the cache. A great way to keep your brother in your thoughts.

Thanks for the cache, a lovely tribute.

A snail liked this cache. Sad theme.

10 August 2011 | 9:11 PM Dropping Rescue Unit #6 here. I found it sitting in this cache, but didn't take it. I went out for a quick grab and this is one of the closest to home. Still getting used to the new garmin asus Android A50. I was wearing my headlamp for this one. I was going to get out a handheld torch but really didn't need it as the headlamps are so bright. Being cold, dark and damp there was no muggles anywhere to be seen so I was able to zero in on GZ with no problems. TFTC Train Smash TNLN SL

Nice simple cache found without anybody nearby, well, not counting anyone on that train that passed while I was signing the log anyway.

Thanks Train smash.

11.05 On our way over to pick up 80 degrees for a caching afternoon. While in a quiet moment there for respect a man stopped to check if I was ok. I was touched, it was the nicest thing that has happen in a while. I assured he was ok and he told my why he had asked.
Thanks for sharing.

After nearly a month break from caching, while we re-plastered the kitchen, today I was back and not only hiding a new cache and re-enabling one of my other ones, but also finding caches! This cache was my fourteenth of 15 for the day. On my way to my planed final cache for the day, this cache was just off the side of the road and was irresistible. I was able to find the cache after only one train passing. The cache was in perfect condition, I signed the log, but didn’t take or leave anything. Thanks for the cache Train Smash and RIP Woz.

Quick easy find. After afternoon at our cuz's place! Tftc took nothing, left mini water pistol.

Found after a bit of searching around. RIP Woz.

Wasn't planning to cache today but Slink1 says "what else have you got to do?" Then I realised the answer was "Nothing" - So off caching we went. TFTC SL

Nice quiet Sunday unplanned caching outing with my mate Dunko Quick find TFTC SL

A few minutes poking around in likely places, and there was the cache. RIP, Woz.

Found on my second attempt today, the graffiti removal team were out yesterday in that spot! Dont think they did much tho! TNLN TFTC, sorry bout Woz.

R.I.P Woz. TFTC.

Out for another night caching run tonight with my good mate Blacklegend (Marshy). Parked in a nearby street and walk down te path to GZ. Had a couple of trains go by while we were searching before I found the cache in its hiding spot. Signed the log and rehid the cache. Thanks for the hide.

Found on a night out caching with my good mate Marty (Quasar3671) and C@H. Another legendary night caching run. Last one for the night and took a little bit of hunting to locate, got there in the end. Time for our traditional can of UDL Gin and Tonic... Or maybe several... to end the night. TFTC.

I was looking at the map and wondering which side of the railway line I need to be, as it turned out it wasn't a problem. I went through the underpass to right side. No trains or muggles to be seen.
Thanks, Robmc.

I found a rock with a soft drink bottle top attached which I thought must have been the cache - it wasn't. It didn't hold 200ml. Thanks Train smash.

Quick find & well hidden

Out on a lovely (and all to infrequent) day caching. Had my 4 yo and a friend of mine with me today.

Like many others, we took FAR too long to find this one, despite sitting and pondering within a metre of the cache a number of times. Nearly kicked myself when I finally found it, just as we were about to give up. If it is OK, I'd like to know a little more of the story of Woz.

Found @ 0815 with ADAcache. Good hide and we must be going blind not to have found it quicker. SL TNLN TFTC

Good little cache, a nice walking track too

We made this harder than it should have been! Searched and as time was no longer on our side, we decided to move on. Then I thought I'd ring the help line! After being told to try here we made the find.

Found it about 11:45 am while walking the dog after an unsuccessful attempt at night when the dog was not co-operative.

Had already planned a morning caching in this area when this one popped up last night. Today Lochb and I espied the tunnel from the other side so ducked through to where she soon made the find.

I can totally sympathise with the reason behind this cache, thanks.

Alansee and I had a discussion about Melways vs GPS maps on the way to this cache ... and it turned out that my iPhone plus Groundspeak app shows the underpath in topo map view... no more need for Melways! . TFTC

As I pulled up my car, the Eudes duo were just returning after doing this cache. This is the second time that I'd run into them today, not including the cache event. After a brief chat, they left and I headed to GZ for an immediate find. Thanks for the cache.

Scratched around here in the dark looking for the clue. Neighbours dogs loved us scratching around with torches. We did the bolt when heard a man coughing from the other side of the tracks. Will return in the daylight when we are less spooked

The was second of our post-event caches this afternoon and a short search soon had us with the cache in hand at 16:40. We also had the added bonus of meeting up with muzza again upon arriving back at the car. After another quick chat, we all went our separate ways.

TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks Train smash.

Found last night good spot not where I thought it would be! Rip Woz tftc

Joint *FTF* with 80degrees.
I made it there first but only by about 30 seconds so I devised a cunning plan to let 80degrees do all the work and find it. That worked well so after jmandea on patrol arrived and we (well,... they) noticed that another nearby cache had been published it was off as a group so that I could trial this new style of lazy FTF caching at the next spot.
As always it was great to meet up with other cachers in the field especially jmandea on patrol who I'd never met before.

Cheers Train smash, thanks for bringing me to a spot I've driven past before many times but never stopped at.

Visit with some TBs (forgot to do that with my log last night)

Published

**** Joint FTF**** With stagetree at 6.00pm Arrived at GZ to find stagetree looking - agreed to share the FTF - cache was found by Mrs 80a short time later and just as we finished SL when another suspicious person approached who introduced herself as part of the jmandea on patrol team. Just replaced cache when another one hit the deck - so decided on a group assult - off we went to the next target. TFTC Train smash

Oh man, this is 2 mins walk from home for me.... The problem was I'm not there!

the coin was picked up from coopers back fence placed and wow you lot were on it b4 it was published ..nearly cheers all

Stagetree and 80 degrees got here first! 2nd to find!

I have been waiting all week log to go out and bag a swag of caches tonight, as Monday nights are set aside for a bit of me time and I chose to cache. Only problem was tonight was wet and miserable and I think I had wet shoes within minutes of starting out. Not a great start for caching. Anyway I had my first find by 5 pm so I was happy to start that well, and by 6 pm I’d finished five. Then I started a few multi’s and then it slowed a little. All in all it was a good night, with a few DNF’s but mainly a good bag, and home by ten pm. Thanks Trainsmash
