The Cache Cow Liston, New South Wales, Australia
By Aussie Liahona - maintenance assist Team Robins on 04-Mar-12. Waypoint GC3DY99

Due to a log that stated that there have been a lot of changes and earth movements by GZ and that it most likely is not here anymore, the reason we placed the cache here because of the full sized cow statue, we have decided to archive the cache. We are now not allowed into this area as it is part of NSW and we have no idea how long this restriction will last.
We thank all those who've driven out this way to geocache and have enjoyed the drive. Thank you for stopping to find this one and get smiley face.
Cheers and happy caching!

Sorry for the inconvenience.
This may be missing if work has been done around GZ.
We'll check as soon as possible.

No luck today

Gps very unfriendly..couldn't get lower than 8m...used hint but still.no find then noticed 2 previous dnfs..it may be gone

Dnf, didn't look for too long tho

There’s been a lot of work at GZ the cache may have gone.

Kestal and I headed south from Toowoomba on a numbers grab for her next milestone...despite the wet weather this cache is in a dry hidey hole and is very, very dusty...super glad it is safe from the weather or it would have been mud. All good here. TFTC Aussie Liahona.

Eskies5 and I planned a trip to Stanthorpe and surrounding areas to nudge me a little closer to a milestone. With the nudge now being a push this was the fifty-third stop of what would be 58 finds for the day for me. With the rain easing we both jumped out of the car in the hope to make a quicker find before the rain came again. Eskies5 made the find at 12:07pm our time and 1:07pm caches time. All returned by Eskies5 before it was time to head into the next one. TFTC

Found Ok

Well hidden. Plenty of dust

We had loaded up Scooby Doo (Car) & the Mystery Machine (Van and mobile GEO HQ) and headed off for 6 days of camping and caching. Our first stop was a lavender farm not too far from Stanthorpe where we set up the Mystery Machine and headed off to do some of the local caches.
We took nothing but memories; we left nothing but footprints, and our tag.
The hide is excellent, the container is in good nick. and the log is in good condition and ready for the next finder.
Thanks for the cache Aussie Liahona.

Out caching today and this one that I found ... TNLN ... TFTC

Classic mailbox! Thanks for sharing

Nice hide cache nearby and nice drive and got signed and returned same place TFTC

out and about in the Granite belt so I thought I would grab some caches while in the area. TFTC

Decided to spend a day caching in the Stanthorpe area before Christmas.
Well, we got in 1/2 a day before the heavens opened up ..

What a mail box ...

All Good .. TFTC ..

Out with Maski and Skippy on a beautiful sunny day in Stanthorpe - day time temperature quite mild compared to when the sun sets. Only Snow we have encountered has been in this series though the morning white frost attests to how cold it is. Great to have some new caches to do at one of our favourite locations. Thanks to Aussie Liahona for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Found at 2:57 PM GAFF1.
Wow - now that is one big letterbox! The biggest we have ever seen. We started to head for it and then looked at our GPSr and immediately made a "U" turn
Thanks Aussie Liahona.

What a nice friendly cow nearby

TFTC 2175# Out and about with muggle sister and miss millie and miss pat geo dogs on a road trip to Stanthorpe 24 caches and 1 DNF geo dogs went berserk when we pull up beside the cow then we went and found the cache they never gave a bark on getting into the car

That's a very nice letterbox accross the road. Tftc

Just had to grab this one after seeing the cow on our way to the falls. Darwould and Plus Elle from Calgary Alberta Canada.

Thanks

Tftc

Found this one on the way for a picnic to the falls after all the recent rain
TFTC

Being a cow lover this was just the best cache! Checked the cow out - especially as someone in the car said you might have to lift the tail to retrieve the mail. The farmer certainly put a heap of effort into that letterbox! Cache was soon found and on we went.

Now that is some letter box. Cache was quickly found, signed and replaced. TFTC

Whoohoo! That there moo cow should be a letterbox cache!

But we settled for the one on the other side of the road in a log.

Found at 12.30pm on 9th December, 2015. TFTC.

While out and about with Mr & Mrs RoddyC for a few days of caching this was on our list and having recently moved to the country and looking for a letterbox idea, watch out my family I now have BIG ideas. This was one of those caches you walked to the spot turned around and went, how did I miss that. TFTC

A quick trip to Stanthorpe for the traditional but a little early Xmas in July event for 2015. I took the opportunity to tackle the caches along the once was Mt Lindsay Highway but is now Mt Lindsay Road.

I had travelled the dirt section while at the mega to get to Bald Rock but that was just about sight-seeing. Today was different. I saw the sunrise at Amberley, bypassed the traffic jam at Aratula and made a beeline for Liston and the nearby Undercliife Falls. I headed south to Tenterfield and tackled everything along the way, before heading north to Robins Nest and the event and the overnight stay.

I got this one on the way out from the falls as a car emerged from the driveway as I approached. Great letterbox.

Thanks for placing this cache Aussie Liahona

[Teal][font=Verdana]20238 caches found

Decided go to cache in the country instead of Town... Always enjoyed drive the car and plenty to see history, country, animals etc.
Thanks for hide the caches - signed the log.

Again thanks Aussie Liahona[font=Verdana]^][/Teal]

Today we did some post Mega caching finding 83 and 2 DNFs caches. Our aim today was to try and finish the caches on the eastern side of Stanthorpe to Tenterfield and return. We enjoyed the journey that the cache locations took us to especially the Mooooooooooo!!

We appreciate the time and effort gone into placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment.

Found by Mary & David, in company with Alansee and Phetlern (signed as MAP), at 1015. On our last day of caching with friends, we headed southward along the Mt Lindesay Road towards Tenterfield. A great day of interesting caches, waterfalls and historic locations What a wonderfully realistic letter box! We all took photos. Gave it a favourite Our thanks to Aussie Liahona.

Following the fun and games of the Qld Mega, our caching today took on a different focus. With Alansee and maccamob, we headed in a south easterly direction from Stanthorpe. To continue our conservation of log space in those horrible micro's, we signed as MAP. There was time to enjoy the scenery, visit the waterfalls, read the notes on the cache pages more carefully which gave us a greater appreciation of why caches have been placed in particular locations.

What a great letter box.

Our thanks to Aussie Liahona for bringing us here.

Found with Phetlern and Maccamob on our last day of caching in the area before going our respective ways. We all really enjoyed this back road with its many caches.

What a marvelous letterbox! It certainly does deserve a cache . Mrs. Herbz usually keeps her distance from these bovine creatures however, she didn't mind posing for a photo next to this one. TFTC Aussie Leahona an FP from us as it gave us a laugh!

Loved the name, loved that placid looking Fresian standing nearby. TFTC Aussie Liahona

Such a nice area.

Quick easy find, TFTC fav point given for the cow Staying on in Stanthorpe after attending the Q'land Mega which was first class and great fun! )

A mooooo

Enjoy wandering around beautiful country here
Nice hide
TFTC

Out and about with Roostaman and lgoody today. It was supposed to be a day up at Bald Rocks National Park today but the rain has put a hold on that plan. Luckily we had a few caches close by to do. Managed to grab this without getting too wet.
Thank you Aussie Liahona for placing this cache .

[Blue]# 11671[/Blue] Found on our 2015 Winter escape trip at the Qld Mega town.
A slightly damp day today but still OK for caching with The Green Geckos.
We went out to an area we haven't been to this week. Nice cow too.
Cheers from Wagga Wagga in the Riverina.
Thanks for the cache Aussie Liahona,
[Red]Roostaman[/Red].

Heading in to look at the falls today.
We could not bypass Daisy the cow. Geopartner took a photo while I went to look for the cache.
I soon had it in my hand. I signed the log and returned it to its hide.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Aussie Liahona All good with this cache

Loved the cow! Loved the hiding spot. What a great afternoon we have had - taught a new geocacher and helped another to get up to 10! Thanks for this great activity!

Tftc

What a cool letterbox.

Loved this one. We were all very impressed with the cow.. i want one!!!

Nice trip out on the way to Undercliff Falls. That is one awesome mailbox! GPS weren't overly happy with the overcast day and trees, but could see the signature signs from the road as to where the cache would be. Lo and behold, there it was.

Great location. TFTC.

A quick find for my day of caching. TFTC

Another little detour on our back roads journey to Stanthorpe. Loved the cow! Thanks for bringing us here Aussie Liahona

yep I got this one today

TFTC Aussie Liahona

Found on the way to basket swamp falls. Tftc

The old girl was all done up for Christmas when I arrived today. Stopped to take a happy snap before going to look for the cache

Apologies for the extremely late log. Went on our annual camping trip to Boonoo Boonoo with friends and completed Basket Swamp the day before. Everyone else climbed Bald Rock (the hard way) on the day we found this cache. We decided not to this time as we were flying out on an overseas trip and decided not to risk an injury to either of us so close to our flight date. So did something safer and captured the rest of the caches along this road. On return from our trip, I discovered these on my GPS found list. I remember saying to Mr Straddie Heaven - Moooove over this one's mine haha TFTC Aussie Liahona

easy find TFTC

Found while Caching in the area. We had seen the cow on the way down to Rivertree and were pleased to see a Cache placed near here. Nice hide TFTC.

A great letter box but no photo with flat batteries on camera but cricketmad got one and instagramed it. Is that a word?
Now for getting the cache there was lots of possible hides and cricketmad got it. There was a trackable in the cache but not sure who put it here. Will move it on soon. TFTC Aussie Liahona.

Love the cache and love the cow. Therfore I loved the cache, 'The cache cow'. A quick search soon spotted it and had it in hand.

TFTC Aussie Liahona

Found while attending Christmas in June Stanthorpe 2013 and also travelling through the Granite Belt Country, Great Cache. TFTC

We passed this one on the way to the Falls and I was really hoping there would be a cache here and there was mind you I didn't realise the cow was a letter box but I did insist Mr Gap take a photo of me with said cow. It was so life like at first I was concerned there had been some taxidermy of sorts going on but after a cuddle (with the cow not Mr Gap) I realised it was a good replica. Mr Gap found the cache quickly and we signed the log book Thanks for putting a cache here AL

Heading to the falls today and Ms Wig spotted this one.... she was very happy on our return that there was a cache there!! Apparently the first photo I took wasn't good enough, so I had to take another one!!

Thanks AL.

Nice hide love cows TFTC

I wonder where this cow came from? That's also an impressive solar set up on the nearby house.
Cache was eventually found after we left the cow alone. TFTC

Okay, so there was a cache nearby, but really, the letterbox tends to distract you . What an amazing piece of work. I would like to know the what, where and why behind it. Such a delightful find [^].

Out for a drive in the bush, found some good caches while seeing some great sights.
TFTC, Aussie Liahona.

Holy cow !! [:o]

Yep!! I had to say that !!
I feel better now that it is off my chest [:o)]

That is an udderly amazing mail box !!
Actually it is a fe-mail box

I wandered off to find the cache.
A nice easy find in the warm weather today.
So I was not Friesian cold

Day 3 of our trip and now we head to Tenterfield and the circle of caches back to Stanthorpe. Now onward to complete our long set of caches to Liston. Near-by replica is almost life-like!
TFTC

While up in the Granite Belt we did our cache maintenance. Cache is all good.

Happy caching everyone........

Here from Canada, doing a bit of caching as we explore Australia....
Out for some caching fun today with Aussie Liahona.

Thanks for the fun !

Love this cow and so would my old boss, what a great mailbox.. Geo girly took photos while I found the cache.

thanks for the cache Aussie Liahona you have given us an enjoyable drive in the country today

This was our 11th cache in our caching run today.
(So this is our 5128th total find.)

Today we decided that we would travel from The Summit down through the back roads to Tenterfield.
Had we known we were going to do this one, we would have saved our cow swap from the previous cache.

Took: Nothing
Left: Dog
Thanks Aussie Liahona for the hunt today.

Found with Bedmaker on our caching weekend in and around Stanthorpe.
Very cool looking cow.
TFTC.

Found with Tassiegirl on our weekend caching this area.
Very cool cow to have in your front yard.
I’d reckon cheap to feed as well.
TFTC

Cache # 2077, Found @10:43:00 AM.

What a mailbox. Very impressive and lifelike. Heading home today after a weekend of caching in the Stanthorpe area. Still time to grab a few before we go. No trouble with this one

Thanks to Aussie Liahona for the cache

Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.

On my way to Stanthorpe for a caching week-end.
Heading out to the falls. Grabbing a few caches on the way. AAAHHHH the Cow.
Thanks for the cache.

28th find for the day. I'd love a mailbox like that. I don't know what the neighbours would think though.

This would be a cow of a mail box if your letters went all the way down! TFTC Aussie Liahona

What a great cache description you have given this one, Aussie Liahona. I sincerely hope everyone heeds it and leaves the fellow's bovine alone.

And a fine bovine it is - Captain Terror and I had a chortle at it. We made our way to GZ and soon had a cache in hand. It is in good condiiton. TFTC Aussie Liahona - and thanks for sharing the cow with us

Haha, the jokes were flying about thick and fast as Fangsoki and I approached this cache with a fun name. We arrived and a mighty fine cow it is. There looked to be people in the house down the drive, but paid us no interest. Nor did the cows as promised. Headed towards the co-ords and I soon had the cache uncovered. An interesting spot to stop. TFTC Aussie Liahona

We'd attended a 21st at Willson's Downfall....and the afternoon of the next day found us wondering what to do.....what else but find a cache or two. So it was we staggered off into the distance.

The cow soon came into sight and the cache was in hand shortly thereafter.

Cache dry and in good condition

Thanks Aussie Liahona

On a weekend of caching to make up our 1000 caches this is one of the good caches we came to and found. Good mail box.
TFTC

The hide for this one made me think of a cannon ready to shoot the cache cow.
TFTC

Have seen hundreds of interesting mail boxes during our travels but this one would have to take the prize hands down.
Thanks Aussie Liahona

Left home very early this morning and 2.5hours later I was in Warwick ready to begin my 4 day adventure from here to the border and other areas down this way. Did not want to push myself. Drove a total of 485klm today and gave caching away at 1800 just on dark. 45 finds for the day.

Found at 1515. Good hide. TFTC Aussie Liahona

No trouble finding the cow it's big enough. And the cache was in hand and we were on our way to the next one. TFTC
