Hi glenNally,

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 listing and post a new note every 30 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Don’t bother looking, it’s definitely not there. I’ve been here twice before, but with some quite difinitive intel from a friend, confirming the previous place I looked was empty. CO needs to replace.

There is absolutely not doubt this cache is gone with only the remnants of the attachment there. Should be replaced as has been missing for quite some time.

Think it’s gone

A DNF for me too. Start of the trip first stop.

Thank you gleNally for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

Needs to be checked by cache owner

couldn’t find

Found on previous phone

Looked high and higher again with no luck. Expected this one to be straight forward. Muggled?

Found a hanging thing where it could possibly be but couldn’t find anywhere

No luck

May have been muggled

Missing an M today but great find in a lovely place to visit. Quite a lot of muggles, but a nice and sunny day today. TFTC Clever spot near the big merino, TFTC

Tftc took longer to find

Found

Found it

Quick find, discreetly round the corner to keep away from curious muggles. TFTC.

Very quick find as most people avoided the area while it was raining. TFTC

Fount it

Good

Had to do a bit of searching

Not where it says it is

It was a shared find with TheHudsonsRGIR. It was a tricky find. It’s not in the store.

Yay! Ran into some fellow geocachers TaylahChilby. Took a little wider searching. Repeat, it’s not inside.

Number 2 for today on our Goulburn road trip learner driver hours

So good to stop by here!

So nice to see this again ...

TFTC! Brrrr...

Little find. Log book pretty much full tho

Sneaky sneaky

Fun

Great, quick and easy leg stretch during our road trip lunch break. GeoBoo and I found it quickly. Didn’t have any spare paper to create a new log but photo of old log attached for proof! (Caution, cache container visible in photo, slight spoiler!)

Tftc. Ain’t warm. But it’s warmer than tuena

A nice easy find TFTC

Found it!

Staying in the caravan park next door. Just a short walk to here.
Also took the photo to log a GA cache here.

A quick grab while visiting the Big Merino. TFTH. SLO.

Found it after reading some comments.

Great spot TFTC

Well, first time geocaching.. we had a great laugh and finally found it after a visit inside

Found close to our campsite in Goulburn. All is fine with the cache.
Thanks for hiding.

found it! only took about 2-3 minutes!! TFTC

I like this one, I was looking at the goat it’s of all because my gps was mucking up but I’m glad I found it

Staying at the nearby caravan park while we passed through town gave me ample time to wander over here and make this find... Although I have to wonder why I hadn't found it on previous occassions I have passed by here - and given I had a fairly explicit personal notation telling me where to find it and what it was, I can't help wonder if I had found it years before and never logged it online. Nevertheless, found and logged now. Thanks for the eventual smiley here gleNally.

TFTC definitely not NUTS

Good little spot

Found it! Left a little present

Found after visiting inside. We found a potential spot at the rear of the sheep & nearly got a hand stuck! TFTC

Trip North would not be the same without visiting a big object. TFTC.

Quick find today on our way to Bondi from Melbourne
Tftc
Cheers

Tall

yay!

Found.

Awesome cache beside a wee sheep

My second cache driving from Sydney to Beechworth today. As I occasionally go past here, I’ve had my eye on this cache for a while but it was missing. Then I saw that it was replaced, so I finally had the chance to find this cache. Photo of view from The Merino’s eye is attached. Thanks!

Amazing locations, this was a must see on our road trip! Thanks for the fun!

On our way from Young to Sydney and we stopped here at the Big Merino for a break and to stretch the legs. We were hoping there’d be a cache here... and there is.
Good coords led us straight to it.
Thanks heaps for this cache and adding more fun to our drive.

Quick stop to check out the big merino. Quick find as well.
TFTC!

Returning from a holiday in New Zealand, we are now in Australie to visit family in Canberra.
On our way from Sydney to Canberra, we stopped for a break at the Subway in Goulburn.
It's a nice place to hide a geocache. Thank you for this cache. Greetz from Holland.

A quick stop off in Goulburn and a quick couple of finds. Found the cache the second time I looked at it’s location. Sometimes you just have to laugh at yourself. Gladly signed the log. Thanks for replacing the cache to keep it available.
Cheers and happy caching!

Sunday funday road trip! Of course we had to stop for a photo at the Big Merino and why not pick up the cache too? TFTC

Find # 5596
Found with sesblocker and aries44duo.
We arrived here with a previous finder. They confirmed that the cache has been muggled. Aries44duo have donated a bison tube to keep the cache going.

OCW with The Neighbs and staying at Crookwell. Great weather for some cache finding.
Cache had gone missing as we had previously found it. Replaced the container and log with similar and in same place.

Not there.

DNF

No sign of it. Didn’t want to dig too much in

No luck today!

Didn’t find it apparently is been taken

Cache missing, located the spot fine and also checked with the shop keeper who confirmed the location and that it had been taken

Missing cache

Checked and checked but DNF on Sunday night on the 28th.

Funny massive Merino statue
Quick find on a quick stop

Tftc

Nice quick find. TFTC

Found on our way home after visiting friends further down the track. Stopped for fuel and a much needed hot chokky fix. Nice hide.

The time has finally arrived for a massive Australian road trip with The Kiwi Chicks. We are GraciesGPSfun , thedbees , Ethness, Infoferret , Jude_E and me Nosynel. We might sometimes sign the geocaches as KCs or TKCs. TFTC

Found with Ethness, jude E ,and nosynel as part of the long drive south.

Just love the ‘Big Merino’. The texture of the concrete wool and the shape of his face are sooo realistic.

Thank you for the cache (a favourite given). Nosynel and Jude_E have already explained our hunt and what we did for the new cache container.

Signed KC for Kiwi Chicks (Infoferret, Jude_E, NosyNel and me) who are Australia for the now finished OzMuster. We are on a 6 day road trip - caching all the way.TFTC

Cache was missing. Asked previous finder and it was missing. The shop owner was disappointed it was gone. I replaced it. I am sorry if this offends. This is a fabulous stop which I would never have found if it weren't for the hide.

Thanks gleNally for placing this geocaches 7262 find for me. After a slight detour for a 2tf on a puzzle, we headed off to Albury.

Sadly there was no large event in New Zealand in 2019 but there are a few Mega events planned in Australia. New Zealand will have another large event in 2020 in Auckland. 
======== NZ Mega 2020 ========
Planning for the NZ Mega 2020 event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, 23 to 26 October 2020. Thanks for hiding this geocache.

On a geocaching holiday from NZ following the Ozgeomuster in Wollongong at the weekend. We are making our way down to Albury today. This stop was a bonus. A very cool spot. Checked with the shop assistant who knew where it was and it had gone. Nellie replaced it in the same location. We hope that is ok. Great place for a cache. Thank you for leading us here.

This trip is the....
Mad Mega/AUSmer 9x9 Mission....
I need 9 hidden month caches to complete my AUSmer challenges and 9 D/Ts to finish my fizzy grid but priority this trip is going to the AUSmers.

It was a quick 4013 km trip from Brisbane to the Mega in Wooloongong.
5 states in 5 days (okay, one was a territory) to finish the AUSmer and a few other challenges....

Went through Qld, NSW, Victoria, a loop into South Australia then all the way back across to eastern Victoria for the last AUSmer cache. From there I turned north and went up through the A.C.T and then to the Mega in Wooloongong. Phew!

On the "home stretch" now and will get to Wooloongong by early in the morning. Needing to top up with fuel, I hunted for a servo and headed to the nearest one on the map not realizing what was here. Luckily there was no traffic about as I just propped where I was and stared in amazement at what was before me! I'm a fan of "BIG things" and couldn't believe I'd missed putting this big fellow on my itinerary! Once I'd fuelled up, the next burning question was- "is there a cache here?". Of course there was, so I parked behind it and quickly found the cache.

It's a pity this isn't lit up at night as it's sooo BIG! even headlights and flashes don't reach far enough to get a good shot of it but I tried anyway. Walking back to the car I had a twisted thought that if this thing had been real, then its outputs would have been the equivalent of cannon balls and that would have been Zee End of my car! Time to get moving so I can get a few Zzzzs!

TFTC GleNelly??

A fairly quick spot this morning with 3 extra pairs of eyes along with me today. Thanks for placing this cache here. It may have been Zee End of your road trip, but for us today it was Zee Start!

Find #8 for the day as we cached our way from Canberra to the Oz GeoMuster. This one took a while to find, partly due to the high muggle factor but once we widened the search area we soon discovered what we were looking for.
Thanks for the fun

Find #42 on our geocation to the Mega at Cataract Park via Canberra for a couple of nights.

WHat a big ram!! There were lots of muggles and the GPS wasn't being very accurate but JMorg found the hide after a few minutes of searching. Bought some souvenirs and took some photos before hitting the road again.

Thanks

Good little spot not where expected,gps was of by a lot but found it after 5 mins tftc

On the way from the Hunter Valley to Melbourne. Great cache. Paper a bit wet. Thank you!

TFTC

Oh, MY. We thought we did things bigger in Texas. We were wrong! Thanks for a fun cache!!

Found!

found with Banj Ward TFTC

Day 17 Mainland trip
Out and about caching around Goulburn and surrounds and this was one of the caches we found. We have seen the big sheep many times but never knew you could go inside. A great view of Bunnings from his eyes. TFTC
