Logs

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 sometime in the near future, 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 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.
 
06-Jul-15
It has been well over a month since two NMs and well over 6 months since the first of many DNFs.
 
06-Jul-15
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.

Can confirm previous comments - nothing here. CO please either confirm or temporarily disable until fixed. Thanks.

Had a good look for about half an hour, owner needs to verify its still here or it needs archiving. We suspect Geomoccasin is no longer looking after these as so many are already archived and others so obviously patched up by searching geocachers like one we patched up this morning!

With all the previous DNF's we didn't bother to stop here.

Hopefully the CO can confirm with a log that cache is still in play.

Home for a school reunion and taking my boys to some of my old haunts. This is in a park metres from my parents' home. Spent many hours playing here as kids. Pity they took the old steam engine away. Apparently it was dangerous for kids. My siblings and I spent many hours playing on it as kids and it never harmed us. Nice easy find to keep my reluctant geokid#2 interested. TFTC

On a geocaching long weekend with my brother Richmond Lad. Staying in Kingaroy and searching around the surrounding areas. As part of our weekend we included a drive over to Dalby to collect a few smilies! Will need to return another time to collect some more. This one took some searching but finally found the tricky hide. TFTC.

The Crookedclan visited Dalby today for our daughters gymnastic competition at the PCYC. We were a little early and with 30 minutes of warm up's I had just over an hour to squeeze in as many caches as possible before the competition started.

This was the sixth Dalby cache for the day with five finds and one tricky DNF so far. After ruling out the garden nearby, I expanded my search slightly and found it in a likely place.

Thanks Geomoccasin

A very good explanation of your caching name. Ours is the nickname that my mother has called me since I was born. Our car has the numberplate muf52, our trike muf 03and our GA cache name is muff and the name on this site, is of course, muff1.
A lovely park, we lived very close to this one back in 2011 for a year. SL TFTC

Heh heh !! Caching in moccasins !!
I can imagine sore feet from that sort of footwear Razz

Well you might ask what's in my name … like “If” ?
Just my initials and nothing to do with '[u]if[/u] I will find the cache' Wink

I had driven past here yesterday, but it was muggle central.
This morning I just had to wait patiently for five minutes until the cleaner finished and left Smile
Then it was a nice easy cache find.

Having got the Friday off work, we chose to make a four-day weekend out of ANZAC Day and head West. With the plan to catch up on a couple Caches in the Bunya Mountians, we chose the Jondaryan Woolshed to camp at and circle out from there. Trouble was, there were too many around here to be focussed. Smile

From our camp, we headed into Dalby for a day of driving around and geocaching.

Nice convenient place to stop!

TFTL! (Thanks for the loo!) Smile

A quick find for Tassiegirl and I while passing through town.
With no muggles around this was another easy find for us.
While looking for the cache I seem to have a bit of Deja Vu.
I’m sure I found another cache elsewhere in this park years ago.

Our Big Weekend Out West
Again Mrs R-F has taken off with the GPS and left me to ride shotgun, wandered around behind her for a while and then went somewhere else and found the cache in the first place I looked,
Took nothing but memories and left nothing but our tag and footprints.

Hide, log and container are in very good nick.
Thanks for the cache Geomoccasin.

9416 kms travelled in 21 days, one awesome eclipse observed near Mt Carbine in Northern Queensland and 712 cache finds, including a small handle of FTF's.

This was a trip I'd been planning for over 12 months with the main reason being to observe the solar eclipse on the morning of the 14th of November. I had decided to drive to Palm Cove and back, where my penthouse accommodation was located, while the rest of the family flew up and back. I love the drive and the unknown adventures that lay ahead; and I even think the last time I did one this big may have been for the previous eclipse in Australia which occurred over SA.

Apart from the great experiences, awesome scenery, and the characters met, the other reason to drive was to also do some serious caching, with the plan to stop at some power trails along the way including the Fruit Run and A.S. series near Stanthorpe on the way up and the Mid North Coast Wander series, just out of Port Macquarie, on the way back.

I had five days to travel each way with ten days in between spent in Palm Cove holidaying with my family. My route up took me from Melbourne to Tocumwal and up to Glenn Innes, through Toowoomba, Rockhampton and the coast road to Cairns while my route back was a bit more erratic. Heading from Cairns to Townsville then via Charters Towers to Rockhampton. From here it was through the amazing mining region to Roma then across to Dalby down through Stanthorpe (again) to Armidale, Port Macquarie, Wagga Wagga, Tocumwal and then home - phew.

Today I made my way from Roma, through Dalby and Millmerran and onto do some more of the A.S. series out of Stanthorpe that had been added; before crashing in the car in a great little spot I found just off the New England Hwy somewhere south of Tenterfield.

The hide location became obvious once I arrived and after a short search I managed to locate the nicely hidden cache. Another nice little park in town. Thanks for the hide.

Since we could park close we left the device charging so our day wouldn't be cut short due to battery failure and went for it. Took a couple of minutes but we were successful. Thanks.

Out for a long drive today, 400+km and 24 caches later, round trip.
This was another stop along the way. I have finally made it to Dalby after a long drive.
This one took a bit of finding but I do wonder if an unsuspecting muggle will accidentally find this one.
Thanks for the cache.

This is a new one, like real new, since our 2010 visit, gps a bit dodgy here but made the find, although I have doubts about its vulnerability to non-cachers. Van friendly caches are good for us at times.

Quick find at 0956. I coud see the container in full view from about 10m away. There is very little space to hide this container. Much better GZ little distance away. On our 2nd trip Toowoomba this week for a visit to mum. I had to wait a short while for a family to leave as dad was waiting in the car while the family used the facilities. TFTC.

Edited to correct woeful spelling. Used my I pad

[FTF] Found this one after a brief wait for a suspicious looking muggle in a blue car (or was it you geomoccasin? Big Grin ) to move on. Discovered to my delight that I was FTF despite having known about it for 24 hours and expecting to find that someone had already got it. Top stuff. TFTC.
