Hi wbfoto,The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, or it may not but in the absence of the cache owner performing maintenance and/or disabling the cache to check it out, 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 4 weeks) 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.

Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.Ngaambul - Matt

Had a good look around, but maybe autumn isn't the best time to be searching with all the leaf litter everywhere

Maybe I will come back in summer when there are less dead leaves.

Didn't find it sadly, looked for it for awhile, but, no luck, thinking the current floods took it.. ( 27th Oct, 2023.

Lots of mesh searched....

Took awhile but we extended the search a bit. Got a good view of the feature. Thought it was rubbish when I first saw it but it rattled so I figured it must’ve been it and it was. TFTC

Hidden too well for me

5/7/22

Found it . Thanks bah for hiding this for us.

We decided that it was time to go on a day trip to Cowra to look for some of the new caches that had popped up in the area since we were last there. Texted Rapidlywild to see if she was interested in joining us on for the journey. It was a pretty cold day with the winds but thankfully no rain which was a bonus. No DNF's for us today which was a great and all caches were found pretty quickly and we managed to get all of the caches we targeted with a couple of labs thrown in for good measure.

Quick find at this one signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for the hide wbforto and thanks for a good day out Rapidlywild.

The FFLL ladies had decided they wanted to go on a little tiki tour around Cowra and reached out with an invite, yes please It was a cold day however the rain held off and we were able to achieve our target area and managed to clean up again for a while. We completed 2 labs and a heap of trads and assorted caches which included an unexpected FTF.

A nice easy find here, signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for the hides wbfoto And thanks to the FFLL ladies for a fun day out and about around Cowra [^].

This cache has been washed out from its hiding location due to the Lachlan River floods. Found with water inside and logbook wet. Signed with waterproof pen then tucked the container into the tree.
Thanks wbfoto for the placement.

LONG grass- snakes??

Easy find

TFTC DKCH

A quick little find and an interesting spot.

Amazing tree and an interesting site TFTC and a great location

Found with Jemalong and Family and Sophiescout

What an interesting spot with some fascinating history. TFTC

**Find #: 7021**
**Date: Wed 14 Apr 2021**
I attacked this from the inside and read the markers, very interesting.
Found the cache easily, no issues here.

**Thanks for placing this cache wbfoto**

It’s in a bright pink container

In Eugowra for the NSW orienteering champs. After today's event I went for a drive to do some night caching. A quick find here thanks to the hint. TFTC.

We had to come and find this for a relative of Calypso62 so today was the day. We did search around for a bit, especially near somewhere that looked to make sense with the hint, to no avail. Seeing a log that mentioned a discrepancy we widened our search and hey presto cache in hand. Geoboyfriend wandered off to look at the nearby plaque while Calypso62 and I replaced the cache closer to the hint, and applied some extra camo. Hopefully this is ok. Thank you.

A quick find on a sightseeing tour around Cowra and the region today. This is a great town and I'm enjoying my time here.

My granddaughter's name is Meg so I had to find this cache.

Thanks for hiding this cache and adding to my geocaching adventures.

Going by the previous logs we-think that this cache may not be here anymore. Kutgw

I hav had this one checked I am told it is still there

Grass was too long, saw a snake as driving up to it. Creater may need to come and check if it’s still there.

This was about 7m out on my god, and at the BOT, no mesh to be seen. Interesting spot tho!

Found 1:10pm Wednesday 5th of August 2020
Signed log and rehid.

A bit of unexpected history here today. Took a bit of looking but finally found by ‘D’. SL TNLN Thanks for this one.

It was though to find but me my brother and my best friend found it together witch made it less tough. You need long pants to get through the prickly plants. Also we learned about william James evens. It was also very fun.

Thankyou, have fun *default dances* hehe

Found after a short search, but absolutely love places like this with history! Thank you for bringing us here wbfoto! : )

Well hidden by natural cammo, interesting spot.

12 Nov 2019 & 14 Nov 2019 Caching Trips
With these two days free, I decided on getting back into caching after a recent dry spell (apart from the event I attended on the 9 Nov). On the 12th, I headed for Cowra to start the caches out that way. I visited many monuments which some included: the World Peace Bell, Koorawatha Falls, Wynnefield Memorial and the one of the old Railway Bridges. Most caches were quick finds but a couple ended up with DNF’s or NA’s which was upsetting but hay… you can’t find all caches because you need things to do next time you’re in the area. There were many different types of hides and locations which made it a very enjoyable day out. On the 14th I headed down over the border into Victoria to hit the ‘S’ series trail which has been on the to-find-list for who knows how long now. I headed straight for the far end of the trail to start so I would finish at the closer side to the other caches on the list to find. This ended up being a solved Mystery cache finding day with a couple of Trads along the way. Also while I was in the area I couldn’t say no to visiting, the ‘Ettamogah Pub’ and ‘The Henty Man’. TB visit on all found caches. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found and for allowing them to bring enjoyment to me and the rest of the caching community. TFTC’s

This cache is still there! The hint makes more sense when you jump the fence and look around. Also another great memorial to visit. TFTC and for bringing me here!

Found it with the kiddies

Nothing found strangely. Tftc

Travelling west to complete SES training it was decided a few caches would help with driver fatigue. TFTC

Last minute opportunity arose for a trip to Parkes to assist with an SES course this weekend and being a five-hour journey, it was sensible to take a break from driving every so often. What a coincidence there also seems to be a cache at appropriate intervals. Even on the right side of the fence eventually, the search still took a while due to “autumn camo”.

We are staying in Cowra for the night and took the opportunity to grab this cache whilst we are.

Cache was a nice quick find by the Cat in a historic location.

Thank you for placing this cache here for our enjoyment.

TNLN TFTC

Bit of fun

Tftc. Quick find today. Very interesting little wood with the headstones in there.

Drive to Cowra for lunch and stopped on the way home to find a few caches. TFTC

Pleasant drive and interesting history. A quick find.

Found after an extensive search. Placed back in a spot that more accurately reflects the clue.

Found with Justjessie on a "History of", "Road less traveled" and all the other caches in between four day blitz. Had a great time and saw some awesome countryside. TFTC.

Found after 10mins of searching among all the leaves. Found with O319 on our week away chasing down"history of" caches.
Find number 6116 4 October 2018 1:35 pm

Fitzy_1965 and I headed back out to Cowra today to pick up his car after it broke down here on a caching mission last weekend. Geo-kids GSC2000 and Stardust2410 where with us and signed logs.

Last stop before starting our way back home. I was hoping for a quick find but after heading through the gate and stopping to pay my respects, hopes were soon dashed. Had two geo-kids helping us search and it still took us just over 20mins to make the find. fitzy found it quite buried. I think it is not in the right place but we returned it to where it was found and still fits the hint in a roundabout way.

14090. Found with minniek, GSC2000 and Stardust2410 during a short re-visit to Cowra collecting my now repaired Geomobile !!

Time to collect my car, so off we went for the short and very familiar run up to Cowra where by chance we had some time for a couple more caches ! This was the next find for me for the day. I had DNF'd this one last year - which was frustrating after reading all the logs. Today it still took a while with all 4 of us searching until I uncovered the cache. Simple really ! Lol. Signed the log, returned the cache, and off we went to the next one.

Thanks wbfoto !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Out and about on Australia Day , i love a sunburnt country a land of sweeping plains , an more than enough caches to try to blow ya brain
We found the caches we looked for all bar one, and it had to be in the trilal ow well, the CO might go an check or put it on hold.
Thanx all CO's for the day out, we have more to go back for beyond what we have done, look for to do them , so that's another day [8]

TFTC. Geoson made a very quick find on this one. He had it in hand in under 2 minutes. Can't understand why there are so many dnf's on this one. Thought we would detour on our way home from Forbes and grab this out of the way cache.

Could not find. Found mesh but nothing behind it

Checked on this one. Still there after all this time. Cache and log all good and safe.

TFTC ( Didn't find)

Came here with Sol de Lune, but despite looking for a very long time, we couldn't find this one. I think we may have just been unlucky - who would muggle a cache here! A very interesting area nearby though - I would have never known that this was here.

Beat us today....

Looked for a good 20 minutes before it was time to move on. No doubt will try again one day....

Thanks anyway wbfoto.....

Gotcha tftc

Put a new water proof log in there and signed both logs, thanks for the pink bits
Found this awesome paper @ officeworks toughpaper made for tradies. Took a pic of it cause i find its way way better than that other type of waterproof paper ive seen.

Found. Log is damp but still able to be signed

Interesting historic area. Thanks for bring me here.

Found

Interesting spot never been this way before,thought I'd come here for a look,quick grab even though coords on phone kept jumping around

SL TFTC

Found at 3:06:00 PM, in Cowra for a couple of days so decided to go for a drive along a road that I travelled many times while growing up in Cowra.

Thanks wbfoto

1607, Last for me today a bit of history here,
signed log 4:30p
wbfoto - TFTC.

After a morning spent in Cowra, waiting around for a new set of boots to be fitted to the geomobile, I set off to find a cache for the day
I am determined to break my record of 83 caching days

Here at Meggs Wood I wandered through the long grass in search of monuments and a cache

The cache was a bit harder to uncover [:o]
But after a fight with the siv foot high thistles, I worked me way around the tree to find the caches hiding place

TFTC

Found it! Very dark by now but I still had a look. Just as well I always carry a torch. Not where I expected but glad to make the find. (Find #921) SL TFTC.

Easy find TNLN

Last fro the day and a two hour drive to get home. This seems quite an interesting corner. Some clearing seems to have taken place at some stage, but the cache is fine. Thanks.

Interesting history here - a great place to visit. TFTC

Enjoyed the history and the cache - thanks.

Got to this one and was amused what we found while opening the gate. Saw a rabbit hop away and then found the cache. It started raining so quickly signed the cache. Tho will have to come back and see more that is there TFTC

TFTC Took TB will move on to new location in our travels.Have been passed here before and wondered about the head stones,great history now I know also left rubber.

FTF – I was planning my work trip and combined a few caches along the way so when I found this one last Sunday still waiting for a FTF for over 4 weeks, I thought that a minor detour between Forbes and Cowra needed to be factored in. I was not expecting this to still be a FTF now being Wednesday but sure enough opened the cache and found a blank log . It is nice to come across a location that has some interesting history also attached to it. I exchanged TB's thanks.
