Wentworth Mine- Lucknow Lucknow, 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Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.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 **27th 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 27th 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 not here I don't think any way

With Mrs one-eyed, we tried to find this one, and failed to read previous logs.
No such luck .
Cheers
one-eyed

Should have read previous activity, doh. Not here

Wandered in the direction of this cache without checking previous logs . Seems the cache is definitely MIA. Will hope it has received some maintenance by our next trip this way.

With all the dnf's this needs a check by the CO.

Needs checking

Another to add to my list dnf's this week. Did as the hint suggested to no avail.

Pretty sure I know where this on was originally as I thought I spotted to location but on checking closer it would appear to be gone. However the visit to the mine was well worth the trip

It was pouring rain. The track I was flooded. I was driving my recently purchased 4WD. I had fun.

Cache was high and dry. I opened it under cover. All contents in good condition. TFTC

Nice hide, found on our way to Forbes

A quick find on our way into Orange with drobbonz and kiwisteve2. Here from Portland Oregon visiting friends for the holidays. Tftc

Bit of a test for these old knees. Thanks for bringing us here, SushiKitten

Interesting place, although such a hot day!

The Booo's found this cache!

The Booos are heading home over the mountain after a short overnight tour into the Parkes area.

We missed this one as we passed through heading out to Parkes, Pulled in to make a nice quick find and a surprising container. Content are a little damp.

Thanks SushiKitten for placing this cache

Found the cache!

Did this cache as the family (The Booos) are returning over the mountain after a short overnight tour of Parkes.

Thanks SushiKitten for placing this cache.
TFTC.

1:23:00 PM. Parked and walked up the track to this one. Better half spotted it and I retrieved the cache. Log signed. Interesting history lesson as well. Thanks SushiKitten for placing this cache.

easy find but was disappointed to see a GLASS container

a quick find on a cold cold day. TFTC

Found today with whitemushroom on our extended western tour.

Thanks for the cache.

A day-long backways roady for History mysteries and trigs with rogerw3 taking in a wide sweep west of Bathurst.

Worth the stop and wander around the GZ. Thanks for the cache, SushiKitten

Found while out and about caching around Bathurst with CAD .... Found this cache on our way to Orange - Interesting history Soon spotted what we were looking for ... T4TC:)

An early start to the day after a good breakfast TFTG 4th

Container all ok today, rained from getting out of the car until I got back in. Too wet and cold to have a better look around. Tftc.

My third day off an Easter camp caching holiday at Carcoar dam. Today I had gone towards Orange for a couple of power trails and the various caches along the way.

Thanks for the cache.

Have put a new small jar in the old spot with a few swaps and a paper for log. No writing tool though.

Either your luck's in or your luck's out. No Lucknow for us.

Sadly it seems everything is gone now. DNF on 3rd January 2016.

Cache container missing - non-useable biro and parts of previous logs are all that remain. Tidied up as best I could, but sorely needs attention

Found a biro and parts of the log strewn about, but no container at all. Pen didn't work, neither did mine, but I took a picture of what used to be the cache contents. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to stop here and have a look around - always meant to!

As per my log.

I found the cache open and spread about, I put as much of the contents back as possible, it probably needs some TLC.

A good hint made for a quick find. Cheers

Fun to find a little bit messy to find aswell

Found in the way to Orange and would never have known the extent of the gold mine without this cache! Tftc

Out caching on a beaut spring day. Quick find . TNSL TFTC

Paper log damp. We cleaned container and items. Placed fresh paper in zip-lock bag.

Winter weekend in Bathurst and Surrounds with Sol de Lune. After a great nigh camping in the clod we started caching towards Orange. I had missed this one a few years ago and now I know why, I was looking under the wrong thing. Oh well, sorted out today.

Thanks.

Grabbed while on the way back to Vic. Thanks SushiKitten FTC. Got on my knees but didn't get as wet as the log is****WET.

WET WET log

Found it but log all wet. Tftc

Contents of cache were found all over the ground (see photo). Would CO please fix this one up and consider changing location, as it looked like a muggle had done it.

Sneaky place in a good location, but container was out in the open (see NM log). TFTC.

Container half full with gravel. Damp log so was unable to comment on it. However it's a great spot to place cache

Visited with TB

Today the container was half full of gravel, only a couple of pieces of damp paper inside, and a plastic bag outside on the grass, but container still in a good spot. Interesting area!

What a cach!
Cach very damp new log placed inside a plastic bag for use. TNleft a badge.
On a road trip with Deb she found her 1st cach Yahhh

Log and contents soaked. Needs repair. Took photo as no way to write. Tftc nice place

Quick stop here before heading to east.
Nice hide
TFTC

Have been here before. Fascinating piece of history. Quick find, log was a little damp but signable. Thanks for placing.

Time to leave Orange, despite its "appeal", and head south. A quick stop here, and onward.

TFTC

Easy find. TFTC

Nice and easy. Was a little muddy though. TFTC

I found it but it was opened with the lid off and the contents spread across the ground. I put it all back but the paper was damp. So I replaced it with a small dry piece of paper.

Well placed at an extremely interesting location. If we had more time and the mine was open I would have been very tempted. Thanks sushi kitten.

Easy find. Especially using my new Garmin GPS. TFTC

Found on the way home

Seventh find on the way from Orange to narella. With the sistero. NaomiM89

The second last day of our Christmas/New Year camping trip saw us heading from Wanda Wandong camping area in Goobang National Park via Yeoval, Cumnock and Molong down to Orange.

Last cache for today before heading towards the last night's camping in Vittoria park.

This mine is an interesting relic of our industrial heritage. It would be nice to have a closer look sometime but it seems closed to visitors. Nice hide. SL TFTC

This was the first of a number of caches picked up on a drive around a loop from Lucknow to Byng via the back roads, returning via the Mitchell Highway from Guyong.

We’ve been meaning to visit the Wentworth Mine for years but have always sailed past. Thanks SushiKitten for placing this cache to encourage us to stop.

Nice little hide TFTC

We're on a roll

TFTC Sushikitten

Always wanted to stop here, so heading home from Dubbo today Zhaoy and I pulled in to check out the history. Nice little cache and very interesting area. Hard to believe all the activity that once covered this sleepy area now.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found with Zal on our trip to Dubbo Zoo. Thanks!

Easy

Nice, easy one. Thanks

My girls found it, had a look through the wentworth mine it's open on the first weekend of every month.

Found during a road trip with Kusi88 and Juno out to the Warrumbungles for a long weekend of camping.

We went very close to driving right by this one. Thankfully we spotted it just in time. Climbed down the embankment and made a quick find. Very interesting location that I did not know about before.

Cheers

We also stopped here to find this cache on our 4 day trip from Sydney to the beautiful Billabong Safari Wilflife Camp at Dubbo Zoo.

Thanks for showing this nice places and nice hidden spot
Team sissifalke

Found it

Gotcha Tftc

got it.

Thanks for the cache nice walk

Tftc

Nice little stop to learn about some local history. Tftc

Very nice location. TFTC

Quick grab on the way back to Bathrust. Nice spot thanks.

The extent of the underground workings of the mine is amazing but the financials for the Wentworth Mine do not seem to match the claims for the mine's richness. TFTC.

Great little historic place we enjoyed very much.
Thanks for the cache hide.

Quick stop on the way to Dubbo.

A nice place to stop. A easy find. The entry log was damp and will need replacing soon it is nearly full. TFTC.

An easy find with a beautiful scent.

1st found on the way home – this is a very nice park - TFTC / TFTH / SL
