Logs
As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it 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 (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.
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 page and post a note every month or so to keep everyone up to date.

Looks like the owner is not very active and probably won't be doing any maintenance on this cache.
Should be archived.

From what I have been told by a previous finder, the large "immovable" rock where the cache was hidden under has been removed 
.
Cache owner should disable this one and check it out.

We were there for about an hour leaving no stone unturned.
The co ordinates sent us round and round in circles and sometimes it said in the middle of the tar road.
Like the last person here we kept on getting sent back to the yellow posts.But nothing was there.
Are we looking in the wrong place or is it MIA.
We will be heading that way again soon and will re visit if it is there.
Because Scooby Doo never gives up.

DNF at 4:15:29 PM. Couldn't find anything at GZ. Just grass and some bits of cement. Was there supposed to be something big and immovable here, 'cause if there was then it has moved.
Confirmed with a previous finder that there was supposed to be a rock in front of the 4 yellow posts, but it is no longer there.

Three days left to bag 1000 caches in our first year. This is 961.
This was a little different. An easy find. SL. Shanks bradleyscradley

Last cache for the afternoon with muggle brother and true to form the mozzies were still out in force.
Left a short note in the book and did not take anything or leave anything.
Will have to wait to do the other cache here as running out of time and do not want to get locked in the graveyard at night.
Thanks to bradleyscradley

Had a Christmas drink with my little grandson who passed away in 2008 and wrote a tale before heading home for the big lunch, TFTC bradleyscradley!!
(Late logging of Find - 1/2/13) Found with Cookie after a road trip North.
Nice to be able to share the driving and a few caching stories rather than having to pedal by myself.
Told of my current plans to have a Challenge (Streak) cache.

Found while getting a lift with G Cookie. Back in 2007 we (MAP's, then Wingham Pathfinders) has spent an hour or two trying to find another cache.
But the tale told here was of our collective 'road trip' with MVMB and G Cookie North to help him get his 75 x caches found in a month (on top of finding 30 x in a day), and getting some of our D/T grid filled up a bit better.

1400 GAFF1 Don't think I've found any other caches in here before, but have spent many hours trying to.
Probably should have tried on the way home some time, as it is a bit of a distance to the next u-turn if you miss the first spot.
Think I told of trying to get x 30 caches in a day, hoping it would be today, but had to put that on hold due to so many DNFs.
Left: another Ziploc bag (Mr Strong) to double bag the book, and a Correct Site Marker - surgical marking pen.
Brought through for mileage: Coins - 3Bros, Lighthouses, IconicBridges, B2B, Baa, Neigh Neddy and Oink, Signal 2006, Geocaching Australia 2006, 100 Finds, CITO Tag, Red Racing Ninja #4 TB, and trackable shirt.

Headed to Newcastle today with Liz & Bruce to find a few caches & to visit the many locations around town. A nice quick find after arriving at GZ.
Our daughte lived opposite this cemetry when she was going to Un. It sure is a large one with some oppulent graves & tombs.

Our last cache for the day in our big day out around Newcastle with DiMorgan. Cache nice and dry.
Thanks to bradleyscradley.

Left a short note today as life is too short to write a full story but will write an obituary when I'm living here full time.

Found it fairly easily, lots of muggles about, had to come back later in the afternoon. TNLNSL TFTC
Joint find with Fullymad. Left a story about our adventures today on our very first Geocaching expedition. TNLNSL TFTC.
Half way through the park and my daughter gets a blow out in her shoe, damn bindii's. left a little story in the form of a poem. Hope you all enjoy.
This would have to be one of the oddest caches that I have found.
Being said, I arrived at GZ, and there being only one obvious spot, the cache was soon in hand.
I entered details in the log and then replaced bag with a heavier plastic variety, which may help it last a little longer.
Most cachers don't write long logs, so don't get your hopes up to get many stories in your book!!

There were only a few rabbits about when we found the cache. Rain is predicted later on today and as there isn't a container and the bag already had holes in it I can tell you a tale of a soggy cache log book by morning. TFTC.
Nice and quick find with pitty. Not to sure how it will hold up in the wet though, I've found many soggy books and logs in zip locks bags before. Needs a container.
Reperio at 1430.
Saw this one published yesterday, but as I had already found a cache for the day...I left it until today to head out and find it. I was only here a few eeks ago completing the multi nearby, and have become pretty familiar with this place. Pulled up next to GZ...and with only one logical spot to search, the cache was quickly discovered. Only problem is that the cache doesn't have a container, and needs to have one. Not only is this against the guidelines, but being where it is...it won't be long before the log book becomes wet.
Gratias bradleyscradley.

Joint *FTF* with Big Matt & Shell. 16:45
I had started the drive home when the notification fro this one came through, the necessary U turn was made and it was off to Sandgate. I had covered half the distance necessary when the phone rang, it was Matt saying where are you headed, surprisingly we were of to the same spot. We arrived at the GZ about 40 seconds apart and the hunt was on, it was only a short time later that Matt came up with the find, nice hide for your first attempt and TFTC bradleyscradley.

Our 6044th overall find.
I rang Unibolt on the way out of work to see if he was going for this one, as soon as I knew he was I thought why not duck up and say hello. When I arrived, I saw him scratching his head. We both looked around for a while and eventually I turned up the find. Just a tip for you the guidelines http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=308 define a traditional cache as " A traditional cache consists of at least a container and logbook and is located at the posted coordinates. " You should probably get a container for this one. A nice *FTF* on the way home for a Friday.
Thanks bradleyscradley for the cache.

Decided to let my geowife sleep in so I took the geotoddler and geobaby to a look at the dead centre of town. Fortunately I've never had to come here before. I loved the different religious areas. Especially the Macedonian section. Also was intrigued by the old train station on the way out. Tftc.
