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.

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. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every month or so to keep everyone up to date.

I don't think its there either

Caching our way around Australia, on vacation from Canada.
I too should have read the logs before trying this one... Too bad dnf!

Spent some time searching for this one, probably need the CO to check and confirm, otherwise I am afraid it Needs to be Archived.

Spent 5mins looking for this one in one or 2 obvious spots based on GZ today and the cache D/T rating. Then I checked the logs to see the previous stretch of 8 DNFs in a row. I agree with the others that this looks to be MIA and the hint is not helpful at all. Could the CO please check this, otherwise I think its time to archive.

Well I checked all over and finally decided it must be somewhere I could see but not check due to my body's determination to obey the laws of gravity, however, reading previous posts I wonder... surely someone agile has thought of that before me!

We wish that we read previous logs before attempting to find this cache.
This cache is deffinately not here

Should've checked the previous logs before trying to find this one today. It's either not there or extremely well-hidden (which I assume is unlikely based on the cache rating). Might pay to check this one again ... either that or the rating should go up.

on the way to bendigo visit my cousin 40th birthday lunch ..i think its miss i look under the tree hole but nothing there ....

We think it's not there any gump

We scaled railway lines, searched tree tops, poked around in tree hollows, looked under seats. B1 and B2 were Gumped by the lack of Forest. We could not find this cache, not even the cookie dough was left. Sorry to say basketballboy321 we were stumped by Gump.

Either this cache is like a box of chocolates, or more realistically, cookie dough.... or it has gone AWOL. Someone has placed half a tube of cookie dough where we think the cache should be, very odd and suspicious behaviour.

Cache not there...

Just checking all OK

Found it on a beautiful cold winter morning. TFTC!

Yus! Found It!

First cache found yet

found while filling in time at woodend, this took a while on 3rd look i seen it tftc

Nice easy drop by on a delivery. Tftc

Found on April Fool's Day while Mr Whit was participating in the MAD ride at Woodend. SL TFTC

This cache formed a pat of my weekend away. We came up Kyneton for the Saturday / Sunday to watch some racing at the Kyneton car club. There was lots of time in between to do some caching.

Quick nice find

GC visit

Found while out on a caching run with Datruk.

Still following Team Coxy & Datruk in Woodend today. Found and SL at 1.25pm. Enjoyed sitting on Forest's seat to eat our fresh salad rolls. A very pleasant and quiet place. TN Left: pathtag. #1008 We kept on thinking of lines from the movie as we travelled to this one so TFTC and the memories basketballboy321

Found quickly in the company of coley_babee, after attending a wedding nearby. TFTC

After attending PrincessDiala's wedding close by, we had decided to continue caching and to try and clear out the area!!

Dropped off travel bug picked up in Hawaii

Found ok. Thank you.

Gosh, we went round and round in circles tracking toward this one. My 'local' knowledge proved as flimsy as my Geocaching skills and I should have 'listened' to the 'lady' who 'lives in' the GPSr of 'Dylan 7a'. She was much more locally 'attuned' in giving directions. That aside, saw the object which gave the cache location its name and then the cache nearby was quickly found thanks to the spot on co-ordinates. Thank you to 'basketballboy321' for the cache and its location. TNLN. With 'Dylan 7a'.

Found with The Quiet Plodder.TFTC

I've see movie 3 times.. love it..
Thanks for the hunting and cache

I hadn't read the cache page, but the name became pretty obvious as soon as I arrived. All was quiet as I wandered over to GZ and soon found the hide, thanks.

Took me awhile to find....but found it!

Coming home from a wedding lunch today when I tackled this one again. Last time I was on the wrong side of the track with Bogonghazy and I wimped out with my shoulder. This time I was on the right side and found it without too much trouble. TFTC basketballboy321

Tip - don't try to follow what look like roads on your iPhone caching app...they turn to nothing!! After a few wrong turns back to the sealed roads, we eventually got to GZ. Interesting spot for a seat. Even more interesting nearby sculpture?

Easy to find. Good hiding spot. No muggles out in nearby houses only one mowing down further on the railway side - hope he mows log area too as grass is getting long! TFTC basketballboy321

Found 12:00, in the company of Muzza.

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks basketballboy321.

Nice quick find in the company of Biggles Bear. Thanks for the cache.

Easy find, lovely day.
Thanks

We are over in Victoria from Western Australia for Geobrother to compete in the 2011 Interschool Equestrian National Championships held in Werribee. This was found on our second day of our two day 'holiday' after the championships. This was the second one for the day after staying at the lovely Campaspe Hotel for the night. Geobrother looked at the spot, but it took Geosister's geocaching brain to find this one. TNLN

This cache was well hidden about 5m from our GZ today. Found with Old Boots. TFTC Greetings from New Zealand.

A quick find while visiting the 'End. A bit tricky accessing it from the other side.

Crossed the tracks to grab this one, train not due until 5.18.

Found by Mary & David at 0935. A pretty little spot that we enjoyed. The movie wasn't bad either. Dropped off "2009 Halloween Evil Micro" Geocoin. Our thanks to basketballboy321.

Nice sunny drive to this side of town visiting a good mate. We decided to hit a few cachers.
Neat little parkland with a bonus attraction see photo attached.....not far from GZ.
Thanks basketballboy for a cool cache....nicely tucked away from view.

Watch out for the creepy crawlies

Found @ 1730 Hrs! Loved the seat!

Found the cache (eventually) after I 'phoned a friend'! I had searched for about 1/2 an hour & re-read previous logs As I was on the phone to Moosetash, a couple of local kid's walked over and asked 'Are you Geo-caching'? I later found out that they were both 12 years old! They stated that their sister had joined via the I-Phone App and that they were going around 'collecting coins'. They stated that they were easy to find & they were moving them / re-hiding them too make the caches harder to find (Thus moving them from there original GZ)! The boys had moved this cache some 9-10 meters away from original GZ!

After I explained why they shouldn't do that, they stated that they would put the coins back and leave the caches alone! They were just interested when they were found & by whom!

They seemed like good kid's!

Signed log & got back on the way to Bendigo on The 'Fantastic Friday Cache Chase'

Thanks for bringing me here.

Found on the way to the Tip with Redink. A good hide. TNLN. TFTC.

First find on the way back from the tip. Stopped on the wrong side of the tracks so had a long hike. SL TFTC

Found at 10:31, as a train passed by. A great little spot, loved the bench! Tftc, tnln

Trying to find at least one cache a day to see how long we can go and as we were staying not too far form here we thought that we would give this one ago as we had fifteen minutes to wait before we could book into our room. We could see how the muggle neighbours could be a problem but being dark this wasn't a problem today, but unfortunately being dark we also missed the view of the mountains. We will have to check it out in the morning on the way out. The cache itself was a nice easy find and we soon had our name added to the log book.
Thanks basketballboy321 for the cache

The last of four caches found today after visiting a potential wedding venue in the local area.
Found the cache after a short walk from the car.
Thanks again basketballboy321.

Found with WOZ on a night cache. At night you don't always see the mud. Ooops

found by Bevfre 11.00am Last find raining to hard to keep going TN LN SL Thank You basketballboy 321

One of my first finds ever (high time) was found in this general area so it was nice to return this morning with featherdown for this and two other nearby new caches.
Thanks

My first find in quite a long time. The railway was non operational today so it was nice and quiet along GZ today.
TFTC

After parking the wrong side of the road, and having to drive all the way round, it was still a good experience.
TFTC

Nice hide. Good to see that I wasn't the only visitor today.

My seventh and final Woodend cache for the morning, I got em all! A damp old Monday morning walking around. Back to the train station after this one. TFTC!

Bugger, didn't park on the right side of the railway line, so made a clumsy scramble across the tracks to GZ, but I saw I wasn't the first to make this mistake, as there were tracks through the grass.........haha.
Tricky little hide to recover, great job basketballboy321.
Found in the company of 6Hinemoa2

The only muggles around here today were a flock of sulphur crested cockies, and they left as soon as I arrived. A quick find in its hidey hole.
Thanks, Robmc.

Quick grab while dancing between the raindrops

Found 8.00pm
Beaten again to the FTF by Romax and a cache that was only a few hundered metres from home too. Took a few mins to find by torchlight but soon found a snug hiding spot.

TNLNSL
Thanks basketballboy321

We read the other logs and saw that the FTF was gone so we set ourselves a night cache challenge.
We set sail around 8.30 pm.
It rained on us a bit then abated.
The cache was found by torch light in it's nice snug hidey hole.
TFTC Basketballboy321

Found by Roma and Max.
Another well hidden, quality container, found right where our 2 receivers indicated we should search!
Thank you again basketballboy321 for another creditable hide.
We look forward to finding more of yours in the future.
