As there has been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it has been a number of months since the last owner note I am archiving this cache to keep 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 a reviewer (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will 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.

Our 3rd GC find of the day, on our way to Pitt Town. I had to look for this one by myself, the kids got distracted by the river & watching a powerboat being launched from the boat ramp. For ages after we left, I got "can we go out on a boat like that?".

This hide amused me, but I did wonder how it survives unmuggled.

Thanks Smile.

Another quick find this morning. Loving this winter sun shine. TFTC

Very clever, easy find TFTC
 
18-Jul-12
Found it. Just like previously logs have covered it the best I can. TFTC!!!
 
17-Jul-12
Very quiet in the park today, only 2 empty trailers. Strange if it survives right next to the track, covered as best I could
 
15-Jul-12
It was such a lovely sunny day I was sure this spot would be overcrowded just like the main street. But as we drove to the end of the road, it turned out to be lovely and quiet here Big Grin There's a very scenic view of the river from GZ, thanks SearchnLog
 
15-Jul-12
Found with blossom*, lovely views of the river here. TFTC
 
06-Jul-12
Found on our way to Navshield 2012 TFTC! Smile
 
06-Jul-12
Heading out to Navshield with ozvixen & ruby may we stopped and did a bit of caching along the way. I've been to this park when you cant move for the masses of people. I'm sure I've even done a cache here before.
Today we had the place to ourselves and made a quick find.
Thanks

Got to Windsor for lunch with Geogirl 1 and needed another quick cache. Drove up and stopped shy of the boat launch ramp and walked over to GZ. Had me going for a few minutes, thinking of where a hide like this could be. Then finally spotted something to give me the find. SL and replaced. Camo'd well if covered properly. Thanx SearchnLog, TFTC.

1120, GAFF1, Geoson found this one whilst I was checking out another possible spot.

SL, cache in good condition.

This one should be called the "light switch" ...its been on and off more times than one in a out back dunny on a B&B!
Glad to have timed this one for today. Found safe and can see why it has been muggled and missing etc.
SL and RNTD safe, just wonder how long it will last now.
Any way I have deployed a munzze out here so it will be worth your while to stop and check out this great place.

I don't understand this hide when there is a perfect spot 1/2 mtrs away don't know how long this is going to last,cheers

Replaced muggled cache with a new one.... just in time for the annual Bridge to Bridge.

Good luck cachers!
 
19-May-12
Still nothing done with this cache I see. 4 months ago I logged that it has been muggled. No reply. 1 month ago I logged as needs archived. Still nothing. Can we PLEASE do something with these caches so others can place them in the area and to save people looking for a cache that is clearly not there?
 
13-Apr-12
I feel this cache should be archived or replaced. I logged it as needing maintenance a few months ago as it had been muggled. Still nothing has been done.
 
13-Jan-12
Unfortunately I think this cache has been muggled. We searched GZ for some time before finding a 35mm film canister at the bottom of the hill in the grass. No log or anything is in it. I suggest u go check and if u require the canister let me know what u want done with it. I have it now as I don't know where u had it hidden. Please replace this cache. Cheers.

Finally came here when it was muggle free thanks
 
30-Dec-11
Found with Teambooo, Booo Booo and Glenwarra

First time here was father's day and a quick search with an increasing crowed sent us on our way. Second time was the Bridge to Bridge and we didnt attempt this on. Third time is the charm, no one nearby late on a Friday evening.
 
28-Dec-11
Quick find as some of the cammo had fallen away, we provided some extra cammo when we replaced it. Just had to avoid all the nearby boat muggles. TFTC.
 
28-Dec-11
A quick find before we headed out on our boat. TFTC
 
20-Dec-11
Took so long to find
 
20-Dec-11
Found with Saf23, T0mBEE and our muggle friend Dery who we were introducing to the world of geocaching. Bit of muggle activity around us, so had to be stealthy. TFTC!
 
20-Dec-11
Quick, simple find TFTC
 
15-Dec-11
Nice spot. Never been up this end of the area. Let the kids have a look for this one, and they didn't disappoint.

SL, TFTC.

Quick find on an rainy afternoon driving lesson with my elder geoson.
Still lots of silly stink boats around even in a downpour:)

Easy find.
 
20-Nov-11
Got to GZ and I thought "o'oh, this looks difficult. Boats were lined up to leave the river with the approaching rain. Thank goodness the temperature had dropped a few degrees. After walking around and looking at all of the obvious spots I resorted to a PAF who couldn't remember this one.. rats. Just as I was about to hang up... "what's that?" "There it is, and thanks for the advice" Big Grin I think the distraction of the phone call stopped me from looking too closely.. and there it was.
Left TB.. yes a small one was able to fit

Spotted after a short search, now back to the blues festival
 
22-Oct-11
It was getting late in the afternoon and all was quite at the ramp, and we made a quick find, thanks.
 
18-Oct-11
With a few boats were being pulled out at the ramp so I sat and watched the scenery until the coast was clear before starting the search.
It only took a minute to have the CIH and log signed and returned.
Think the sticky is tree sap.

TFTC

Cache still a bit sticky and a little smelly. But otherwise in good condition.

I agree with previous finders that the cache was covered in something a little sticky, however we found this very easily and signed the log.

Out with Smurfyguy to build his numbers toward the magic 500. I let Smurfyguy do the extraction due to the sap (or whatever it was) that was on the container. A quiet spot today with no boats being launched or retrieved. I imagine this place could get quite busy on weekends! Thanks SearchnLog.

Found while out on a cache run with HomeDG today.
A short hunt and we had it in hand.

4th find this afternoon - still daylight so we kept on going - more to find tftc
 
Found this fairly quickly alhtough I can imagine it won't happen that way for everyone. Such a simple cache that is quite sneaky at the same time. TFTC

From memory this is the third cache to be hidden in this park.
A quick find after all, thanks SearchnLog.

I had hoped to stop by this lovely Windsor riverside area just before dark -- on my way from work back home to the Blue Mountains -- but I got a late start, so it was well into evening when I pulled up near the boat ramp.

However, the 'treed area' that looked so dense on the Google Maps aerial map proved to be well-kept and open, so the search for the little geocache -- using my mini torch -- wasn't as difficult as I feared. And I soon had the sticky little container IH, as we say.

Published coordinates were accurate. All was in good order and the log scroll was dry. TNLNSL.

Many thanks to SearchnLog for yet another northwest geocache.

Found with the family on a caching morning.

A fun cache despite the two GPS's pointing in opposite directions. The container was a bit yuk but it was fun to find. TFTC
Thanks

Cheers
 
04-Sep-11
My GPS took me directly to GZ while my other halfs said 22m away. A quick easy find, which I hoped had not been drilled (and wasn't luckily) Thanks SearchnLog for #4/4 today.
 
04-Sep-11
Did a cache or two in this reserve a while ago. At least one of them must be gone, I think, given the placement of this one. The cache container was a bit yuck, given its hiding spot, even though it's only new. Luckily for me, the WaywardWoman found it. Wink
 
04-Sep-11
We really need to pick our times better, arrived on a brilliant Father's Day afternoon and as to be expected the park was full and the boat ramp was extremely busy. We will come back to this one on a less busy day
 
03-Sep-11
As I drove home from soccer through Richmond I rang home on gut feel to see if there were any new caches here. Three!

As I tried too hard my eldest shone the torch on the right spot first go!

TFTC.

This can be a very busy location on a weekend but this afternoon it was relatively quiet. Coordinates were spot on, which made this an enjoyable find.Big Grin
