A Young Cache. Young, New South Wales, Australia
By O319 & Justjessie on 19-Jul-12. Waypoint GC3QTKM

Time to archive this one. When I next go though town I will look for a better spot. Thanks to Noikmeister for confirming it has gone....

Had a look for this without much success. Turns out I was looking in the wrong place and wouldn't have found it even if it WAS there. Thanks to FB I managed to query the cache location with the CO who let me know where it was so I could check on it for him. Turns out is was missing after all!

This is the 1st of 3 caches we didn't find today. [:(!]
[red]We spent quite some time here at around 12:12:00 PM, but we just couldn't locate your cache, so a DNF from us - - - not stating it's not there... just that we couldn't spot it.

Tried again today on another trip to young but still unable to locate!

GPS was off by a few meters. Its still there keep looking! TFTC

Couldn't find it today 24/6/15

Found whilst traveling through the area

Thanks for sharing your beautiful area with us out of towners from WA.

After reading that cache wasn't under the obvious Geomom & I searched high & low while GPS was jumping back & forth. A light bulb moment soon had cache in hand & log signed luckily as sun was getting a little to warm for my ranga skin.

Was concerned about the DNF's and I arrived wondering what I might have to search. Well, with the annual Chinese festival on......and about 200 people crowding the car park on my first visit, I had no choice but to come back today...

Started looking under the obviously item, but GZ seemed to say I should be looking along another line. Had the CO's phone number, so made the call to see if we could find it and confirm it was still in place. After my initial call I was going to give it up, when the cache was spotted....a little hard to see up in the hiding spot, but it was there to see. Log was signed and cache returned ready for the next finder.

I note the hint has now been changed...and my only other comment is that I think the difficultly is probably higher than 1.5...but the good news is it is there.....and unless a muggle is watching a cacher actually make the grab....it should stay in location without a problem.

Thanks for the cache and the assistance O319.....

Stopped in Young on our way home after the long-weekend trip to the Weddin range. Had a brief look around under what we though was the right spot but it was leaking some rather odious scents so we didn't really feel like searching for very long.

A DNF for baby&Mrs gopher today. Searched for a long time but ?

Whilst visiting my sister, YNNBUB in cootamundra this Australia Day long weekend YNNBUB, FrannyJ and myself decided to go for a drive and grab a few caches that we hadn't got yet in nearby Young and try this one again after finding that it had a new location. We looked around for a while and got really frustrated when we were at GZ and looked everywhere, under everything, even found a spot which I thought would be perfect only to find it not there. A nice railway station but no luck again. Not sure whether it has been muggled or not.

Tftc

Took time. Kept thinking under what? worth a fav. tftc

Sorry no luck for me too oops!!! Thanks

Found it with geokids

Had a good hunt with the new coords but couldn't find it. Is the hint still relevant with the new site? We'll have to try again next time we're visiting.

Hint is correct for new location.

Coordinates changed from:
S 34° 18.676 E 148° 17.820

Coordinates changed to:
S 34° 18.682 E 148° 17.841

Distance from original: 111.6 feet or 34 meters.
New location.

Called past today and worked out what happened. The cache was on the back of a down pipe on the platform. If you look carefully you will see the gutters and down pipes have been recently replaced. So have found a new location that hopefully will give less trouble.

DNF

Must have gone... Will see if I can replace it.

Think this one has disappeared

Searched in every possible location after reading logs and we both came up empty... needs checking

Too hard for us

In a good spot

Easy find when the markets where over.

Bit tricky.

Bit tricky.

With about 80 mm of rain this week, I found the cache to be soggy: whose bright idea to park in there? It is now behind there, instead. Think, guys. No GNSS!

Enroute from Junee to Cowra, we Mrs One Eyed & I stopped by the station to look for the cache.
Unfortunately no such luck.
Cheers.

Nice hide and a lovely spot for it, too. Gotta love these old stations. TFTC.

Nice quick find while caching with StumbleTrip!

OOPS forgot to log this on my trip to Young. Had a great time with the sisters and mum but slipped!! away to log this one. TFTC

Having lived in Young before, it was great to get about and see some of the old sights.
This rail station hasn't seen any passengers for many years, but has been kept in really good condition.
The cache took a while to find, as my GPS was playing up and wouldn't give me a good position of GZ. Eventually, it settled down and the cache was quickly in hand. TNLNSL TFTC

I've been a regular visitor to Young lately but this cache was gone when I first came. Happily it's back up and I wandered down to the station this evening to make a quick find. Signed and replaced. There's some dudes who hang around with their cars out front of the station who are there every evening. I do wonder what they are up to...

Thanks!

Good cache, 19mts off the dz.

Cache is supposed to be "behind" the said item at GZ. So can we please make sure it is well hidden from muggle eyes.

haydos found cashe was easy to see when walking down the platform hid it a bit better

A very hot day for geocaching but I went off with gerrynewgirl and 'Haydos', from Miss Megs and Haydos. Cache was spotted from a great distance and I reckon that you're lucky it was us and not a muggle that came upon it first. We poked it behind said hiding spot but it was a good cache. TFTC

found in the company of geo grandson, Haydos & weroamin. good place for a cache. tftc

Ok, all sorted, the cache container is back where it was originally hidden thanks to the staff at the Information centre. Feel free to call in and have a chat with them after you have found it.

See below

have been trying to contact the right person at the Information Centre to try and work this out.

Until we have this worked out, please don't call in and ask for it.

Asked at counter, they have it, due to perceived security issues. Not really a find. Could cache owner come and relocate, please.

Tftc, see note.

Found with tiamanda9966. Please see maintenance note.

Looked everywhere for this, after a while we decided to enquire as the station was open. Cache has been moved inside as of a month ago. ♡ Team Hanno

Called this morning early. Jan and I could not find it searched the obvious place . Guess we will be back one day !

Catching up on old finds tftc

GPS wandering due to the buildings, but I think I had the right spot. Couldn't find it near the expected object and ran out of time, so moved on. Nice building!

Found with jonnyroe and Sareyn but forgot to log! TFTC

Thanks for bringing us to this interesting place. So sad to see all these deserted railway stations. TNLN TFTC

# 6619 Found on our 2013 winter escape trip to Qld and back to Wagga.
Another perfect afternoon for a drive and cache hunt around town
Not many muggles around here today and a very quick find. Nice old station too.
Thanks for the cache O319,

I thought the cache was going to be on the tracks, but luckily bikerbuddy is more sensible than me & looked in the right spot.

Thanks

The most pressing thing to attend to when we got to this great old station was the great toilets at either end of it. Toriaz was already searching for the cache, however, when I got out. I think she was basing her search on two other hides we found earlier in the day, but they were by somebody else. Then I had a guess at another place and had the cache in hand. The cache turned out to be easier than I anticipated. Thanks

Found it! My first cache in Young for a long time. Tried a bit of night caching and came up with the find in just a few minutes. SL TFTC

Nice cache. Pity no trains come here anymore. Found with Sareyn, Chelly5 and geofamily. TFTC

Lovely old railway station TFTC

Wandered around with geo dad - went back to the right spot 3 times before I actually found it! And yes I agree, Young needs more caches!

Lovely old station.

Nice hide took a few mins TFTC

Found it. Tftc

Found it.
Dads first idea was correct

Found it despite gps jumping like crazy

The GPS settled where there was no cache, so I ignored it and used some geosense which rapidly produced results TFTC 0319

In town for our GeoGirl to play League Tag, we hoped to complete the Young caches following the games.

This was an easy cache. I spotted the location a few metres out, and although my compass was saying to go about another 4.5m a quick glance told me I had the right spot.

The log book bag was looking a little worse for wear so I replaced it with a fresh bag, same log book inside.

TFTC.

Once the GPS settled down, we ignored it and found the cache. Thanks.

Nicely hidden - our first on our weekend caching. TFTC

Geokids enjoyed searching the disused tracks for this one.

Day three on our "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" tour, a trip to the Mornington Peninsular (Vic) for an Ex Army Apprentice reunion.
An early morning leg stretch after this place was muggle central yesterday arvo.
We took nothing but memories. we left nothing but footprints,
The hide, the container and the log are all in good condition and ready for the next finder.
Thanks for the cache O319 & Justjessie

After having alternator problems yesterday and being stranded in Wagga overnight while finding a replacement and fitting it we headed off this morning aiming for pprass camping event near Port Macquarie at the end of the week and picking up caches along the way. As we approached this cache we couldn't help but admire the architecture and workmanship that went into the construction of this building. It shows how important the rail used to be to these country towns. It was great to see it being maintained so well. We used the amenities here and it was great to see the old decor still in place. We obviously went to the wrong side of the building first as we always seem to do but at least we did get to have a good look right around it. Once at gz with minimal places to hide a cache we found it in the second place we looked.
Thanks for the cache

A quick find to mark our journey through Young. TFTC.

A quick park & grab on our way from Cowra, where we are house sitting, to temora for the flying day. SL TFTC.
BTW - I still get a laugh from reading your FTF log for my Endrick X-ing cache ! Brings a smile to my face everytime. Thanks for a great log/story !

A delightful find on a lovely old station. Well placed near the Information Centre so we could plan our day in Young. TFTC.

Our First time hunting and we missed it the first time. We went and found 3 other caches around town and came back. Found it within a minute second time round.

Found by the eldest geo kid

Visiting this delightful towne never gets old
Today I finally found the railway station.
A beautiful olde structure which would impress any train traveller.
Except that there appeared one problem when I wandered onto the platform hoping to see a train.
The rails by the platform have not seen a train in years [:o]
I didn't expect that !!
Well at least the cache was a nice easy find on the deserted platform
TFTC and visit to one of Young's hidden secrets
Who ever heard of traveling by train on a bus anyway !! [:o]
I hate buses !!

Found this cache at 11:35 am while on our way back home after being in Forbes for the weekend. Thought we would have problems with this one because as we pulled up the Countrylink buss also did. Not to worry the strickly stayed out the front, while we meandered to the platform.
Nice easy find.
Thanks 0319& Just jessie for the hide.
The BUshies NSW

Out for a drive with Black Bunny, so of course we had to find a few caches.

Had to be in Sydney for some family duties so we decided to grab a few caches on the way back home.

A quick find here today with Just a cacher. I am sure that there was a cache near here not that long ago.

Thanks for the cache 0319.

Had a day in Young with Daughters netball so thought a cache would be good between games.

Have done a few now on or around railway stations and I enjoy them.

It was so nice to be back in Young. We used to visit Young for the Cherry Festival Basketball Carnival in our youth and of course get up to all sorts of mischief. This visit was much more subdued. Thanks for the case and the trip down memory lane. JenneG & Budgy

Had to look twice. Nice hide out:-)

This was a very tricky hide.
Having an overnight in Young so hunting for the few caches in town.

Easy find tftc

Found with Mick_d. Sometimes the quick and easy ones are the best.

TFTC

A quick easy find no muggles today signed log TFTC.

Heading back slowly to Queensland via Cootamundra, Young, Cowra and Blayney collecting caches on the way. This one took some time to find due to poor GPSr coverage. However used common sense to find. Very clever placement.

TFTC

Found TFTC

Was with O319 when he placed this one.

Passing through Young to pick a box of cherries and a cache. Staying at tourist van park (brilliant park) and walked over while kids were put to bed, took awhile to find as I even thought it could be inside the building but had CIH when thoughly searched area. DOH, why didn't I look there earlier? SL TFTC

Fairly quick find. SL - TFTC

Hubby looked all over with no success. I went and found it straight away!

Almost deja vu all over again. There was a cache very nearby in days gone by. Always pleased to find new caches on the long drive back to Brissie. TFTH

The Chocolate Ducks FOUND IT!!!
XD YEAH!!!!!! LOL XD

# 2578. After 3 weeks of travelling our holiday is about to end. Robmc and I are heading to Beechworth today from Bathurst.

Rob and I drove to the Station and walked around to the platform. Up and down we went with our GPSs not liking being under the tin roof. Couldn't get closer than 30 metres with mine. Rob was faring better but kept missing GZ. He had been poking fossicking right at it several times and then I said but have you tried....."there". Bingo! Nice hide. There is something similar in Beechworth and that is why I thought it could be there. TNLN TFTC.

Bathurst to Beechworth, the trip home with Bettyboo3747
Our timing here was impeccable! Moments after leaving the platform a large group of tourists arrived!
Fabulous old station, but as we saw from the tracks - no train has been here for a while.
Thanks, Robmc.

Stealth required as its Cherry Festival day
