Not so Grand Mulbring, New South Wales, Australia

One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result 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 within 7 days, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 7 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

No-one has found this for 12 months (except for a claimed find by a noob) and a request for maintenance has not been acknowledged, which is a bit disappointing. If it can't be maintained, maybe it's time to let this one go?

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am 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 28 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 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Searched for ages but couldn't find it.

Looked for a while. Could someone please confirm if it's still there.

This cache is MIA. Visited here today in company with a previous finder and there is no trace of it anywhere in the area it is supposed to be.

Found it!

Not sure if its still here but couldnt find it.

Thank you for this wonderful cache. It was a beautiful place in an incredible country.

I think this may be missing as spent a long time looking with no result.

Looked for ages. Must be missing or stolen

I think this one might be missing? Looked everywhere that could possibly be magnetic

Tftc. Nice view

Cute little grandstand and a cache too, a bonus.
I've been in some of the best grandstands around the country watching cricket and AFL and from the back stalls here its one of the best views of the ground of anywhere I've been.
There was a game on here today, and just like when I turn the TV on at home and someone gets out next ball, well I found the cache, sat down and someone got out - sorry kid.
Great little place and an excellent spot to stop and stretch the legs after driving from Sydney.

Love the old grandstand. It has character. Love the cache too. Tftc.

Lovely old grandstand. First find for my muggle sister in law. TFTC

Out this way today on our way to the Hunter Valley Gardens to see the Christmas lights. A nice little country town this one. Got to gz and there was a guy mowing the oval so each time he went around past us we stopped searching. Pity about the graffiti on the stand. Found quickly TFTC

Easy Peasy

Great spot here in Mulbring! TFTC

Mulbring unfit for play!

The stand at Mulbring!

Tftc
Quick find while dropping a local back home.
Stand is still in good nick for a country ground.
Nice hide

Found it with wolfboylost

found with casper73

More like a 'didn't get to look' than a 'did not find'...

On the way back from Cessnock my son and I popped by here for a break and a cache search. We followed a couple of people up into the grand-stand. Other geocachers perhaps? No, it turned out to be a local with a boy who was maybe his grandson. The bloke was a nice chap who launched into a series of tidbits about the history of the oval and the town. He praised the quality of the pitch and said that England had played here. We both wondered about the merits of having a big tree in between the grand-stand and the field (!). He spoke about the nearby land being sold and of out-of-towners buying in and having trouble adjusting to the small-town mentality. He mentioned that there used to be a police station nearby, and how the stand used to have wobbly wooden steps. And he gave me a potted history of local cattle rustling!

After about half an hour my son and I said goodbye and left, skipping a cache search so we could get home in time for Dr Who. Well, I didn't find a cache but somehow I feel we got a Grand introduction to Mulbring!

Don't know how many times as a family we had stopped off here to eat our 'fish and chips' after a day of hunting fossils in a quarry not too far away. Great memories.
0110, GAFF1, but it did take a while of hunting around and around up and down before MVMB saw it.
All good with the cache, and I believe the coordinates would be good, but unable to leave a CSM.

TFTC!! Took a bit of searching but we finally came up with a smiley. Thanks =)

Beautiful country, thanks for encouraging us to get off the mainroad

Used the old one.... Still found it. Great view.

TFTC. .very nice view

GcPhil and I were on the Cachetours Hunter Valley trip!
Oh boy! This cache had us going round and round! we just didnt realize that it wasnt as low as we thought!
Had to take help from the guys at Cachetours!

Very tricky hide - had me stumped for a while. Nice tree!

TFTC - soooo pleased to find this one. We tried once before on a cold wet winters day...not much fun. But today....

Found this on a trip to Mulbring. TFTC.

Found, full log to follow.

Found at 10:39am with Calypso62 and JordsAU.

We drove up pretty close to GZ when approaching this cache. We hopped out and began our search. After looking around for 8 or 9 minutes, we finally clicked and realised where its resting spot could be given we had exhausted most spots in our original search area. I spotted the container but left it in position so the boys could make the find themselves.

I rather enjoyed this one, the open view was a great sight and the cache itself was also creative.

Out on a scout of the Hunter wine country. A quick find once the right elevation was achieved. A great view of the field..... and a lovely tree stuck right in your view. Somehow, I don't think we'll see and Ashes match played here in the near future!!! Thanks Team Unibolt for the detour.

What a quaint little place this was....I would never have detoured into Mulbring if it wasn't for this cache, but glad I did. A simple little hide (It was in plain view so I tucked it away a little more when I was done), good clue and a nice view from the grandstand TFTC TeamUnibolt

Found it

Another down!!!

TFTF. Saw it from the bottom. Look up!!

Had to search a while but looked to the heavens for an answer

easy cache. nice hiding place

Peaceful little spot today. Found With wally_vi and hanni09

Great cache, there was a nankeen kestrel circling it [^]

Found this one the second try. Needed to think a bit more outside of the box to find this one!

Found it with carstenscrew

Big family gathering to find this one

I was on the way up to the Hunter Valley and the dogs needed a break; this seemed ideal. There were few muggles around, probably due to the 40C heat, so I was able to search in peace. I had an idea on arrival of the likely hiding spot, which was of course wrong, and it took a little while to get altitudinally aligned and to fully understand the hint. A-ha! Thanks for the cache

After searching in all the obvious spots and finding nothing we looked at the photos and spotted something suspicious from the outside of the building upon closer inspection we had CIH. Good placement.
SL TFTC

On my way to the speedway at Kurri. Got this one on the way thru. Had us looking and thought we had covered all hides. Read the hint which gave us a the hide. (Sort of). Tftc TU.

Found on way home from work, with some locals playing stay he nets on the other side of the ground to lend the proper atmosphere. TFTC

Would be a great place to watch the cricket except for the tree in the middle. TFTC.

Another day,
another find.
TFTC!

After a day out at Richmond Vale Railway Museum I decided to drop by here to pick this cache up just as the sun was about to set.
After parking right near the grandstand went up the stairs and had a look around did not know where a magnetised cache would be on a brick and timber structure but then noticed something and after reaching out to it I had the cache in hand.
After signing log we sat in the stand for 5 mins looking around the view of the game must have been better before the tree grew so big.
Thanks Team Unibolt for this cache.

Nice easy find

Beauitful day today, again go out for geocaching to Maitland caches area... Via stop re - searched, quickly to find as good spot, wow good one than yesterday searched age age then CO advice... thanks to Team Unibolt...

Sneaky sneaky. Looking all around the obvious couldn't find it.....read some logs.....look at that ha there it is. TFTC.

Yeah , Found
We not long started the morning off with 2 DNF so I was determined to get this one or we were going home.
Went up and down those damn steps about 10 times before I looked more closely at the information and had an idea.........
Once I had the right idea I could not see it but I could feel it and soon had it in my hand and the logged signed.
We had lots of fun running to another spot to see exactly where the cache was from another vantage point.
You have to be pretty tall to get this one.

Thanks Unibolt team

This one has been on my radar for a while. But I never seem to pass through this villiage. Driving through town today, i pulled up and played 'stairmaster' looking for this cache. Whilst contemplating how real that wasps nest looked (it was cold and the wasps were not moving) and how it possibly could make for a cool nano, I second guessed myself, looked up, and then had to play 'stairmaster' again.
TFTC!

Nice find in a very sneaky spot. Searched the top first then spotted it from below. Had lunch at the nearby picnic table. What a fabulous day to start a Hunter Valley long weekend.

Grabbed a subway and found a delightful park to eat it. Looked on the GPS, there is a cache 93m away. After devouring our lunch we headed for the grandstand. Finally found it after looking"outside the square". A great spot to have a cache. Thanx for bringing us here.

The holiday is coming to an end, we are heading south so after camping at Mussellbrook and picking up a few more caches on our way home.

The building is showing signs of age on the outside but the timber inside still looks great.
This would be a great vantage point to see the game and would have been a very popular spot in it's heyday.

This well hidden cache took us a little while to find but we got there in the end.
Thanks Team Unibolt for the cache.

Nice pit stop. Thanks.

Very sneaky. Brought us a few grins. Tftc.

Second time back only one muggler around tftc

Nice hide quick find tftc

wow this is one of the grander country grand stands I have seen. must be great to watch the cricket from here. quick find and TFTC

streak day73 #945

Tftc nice spot

Just listen to the HINT....

WOW What a gem of a place and the hide superb. TFTC

what a fabulous spot! talk about a piece of australiana. just classic. thanks for bringing us to this great spot. definitely worth a favourite point.

Too many mugglers

A great little detour on our way home from a weekend in Cessnock. A good spot for a coffee break too. T F T C

After spending the morning at the Maitland markets it was time to do some caching. We were organized today and even had a list of caches we were hoping to find. This was one of them and we enjoyed the hunt. We used the picnic tables nearby for lunch - very nice.
Thanks to Team Unibolt.

Love mulbring, who couldn't. A grand old stand, I'm sure I've been here before, very very long time ago. Cool hide had me thinking....
[green] - Found It . TFTC! [/green]

What a cracker of a town, and one of the best country stands I have ever seen. I could live here! TFTC. ??

We've driven past lots of times and never realised what a beautiful little town lay just off the road. What a great cricket ground too! Nice easy find - tftc Team Unibolt

New container & Log. BYO pen.

Muggled, will replace in two weeks after interest in the area subsides.

I'm sure we killed an hour hear today with four sets of eyes looking. Great hide or did someone take it? We will visit again another time in the near future and hopefully find it.

Thought it would be a good way to cap off the rogaine, but not to be. I'm blaming the cramping legs tfth

We could imagine 'how McDougal topped the score' at Piper's Flat as we sat in this special place (great poem for the lovers of Oz poetry). Great location and clever hide. TFTC.

We had the area to ourselves and parked right next to GZ. We hunted around for a few minutes finding nothing before stepping back to survey the area and sure enough something was spotted that turned out to be the cache. Took coin. TFTC.

Found with my boy Zalgar.
Sorry, Im so far behind with my logs Ive decided to cut'n'paste to catch up!

TFTC! Zhaomin from China

Took some finding! Well placed cache. Heading up to Muswellbrook for my strata meeting it was a wet and rainy day so didnt do too much caching. This one promised to be a quick hunt and luckily the rain had stopped. Not at the first GZ I guessed, then read a log and made the connection but still took me a few minutes after that. I had a geocoin tiny enough to fit so it is now in residence.

Cheers!

Rated: for Overall Experience

One of eighteen on this wintery and sometimes wet day. TFTC

Reperio at 1145.

I met up with gd at GZ this morning as we targeted this cache for the wrestling requirement of the Geosportz competition, and as we pulled up, we both had the same idea where to find the cache, but that wasn't to be. After a brief search around the general, we stepped back a bit to take in all the likely spots it could be, when gd said 'That's probably it'...and indeed it was. Snapped a photo for the competition, and after a brief chat, we were on our way. The view from the grandstand is still a good one, just needs a little bit of a fix up.

Gratias Team Unibolt.

MV said it all in his log. Cache stands out if look in the right spot.

Thanks.

no luck this time. looked in all the usual places. will try again another day.

Nice cache TFTC

Nice Cache, Nice little Stand, TFTC

Doing a little caching in Kurri area this afternoon and had time for this one one the way home just after sunset. It didn't take too long to flush out the cache with our torch as it was in plain sight. Signed log and replaced it a little more discreetly. Thanks Team Unibolt

Nice spot TFTC!

Last time we came to look for this cache, the stand was full of people watching a game at the oval. This time we had the whole place for ourselves and could systematically search for the cache.
