Is Ned Home? Glenrowan West, Victoria, Australia
By treenz.team on 10-Nov-12. Waypoint GC412ZH

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.

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.

Cache appears to be missing.

Is Ned home? Apparently not and he's taken the cache with him it seems. The second one to dissapear from here! I placed one myself a while back but it went missing before I'd even listed it and while I was researching info about the location. I suppose I could have gone after this one sooner seeing it's quite close to home but again I've left my run too late.

We are having our second honeymoon to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, though really it is our 3rd honeymoon because we had one that involved a lot of flying visits to Brisbane, Healsville and Warnambool after we got married this time last year ( sort of a practice honeymoon) and then we went on the real honeymoon last November (2013) - cruising on the Danube River and of course caching.
For our 1st Anniversary we decided a visit to Pinnacle Valley Resort would serve as a suitable base location for some local caching, particularly today back up to Brown Brothers at Milawa and to visit Glenrowan for some Ned Kelly historic locations.
When we started caching this morning it was 32C, and by the time we were done it had topped 43C.
After a lunch break at Brown Brothers Winery in Milawa, we decided to head on over to Glenrowan and attempt some Ned Kelly related caches.
So after 23 consecutive finds today with Sappy13 and Smart Sassy Siren, we bummed out on this one. Though, reading the cache logs says that the last cachet found this on Christmas Day and found it amongst the grass. Their log does not say whether it was placed back at the correct GZ co-ords, or what. Smart Sassy Siren took a photo of the place at GZ co-ords to verify with CO if that is where the cache is meant to be.
Anyway a DNF for today, but still a chance to photograph a beautiful and historic location.

First DNF for the day with Chaplain Mike. Our GPS x2 took us to within 1 metre of GZ but even after widening our search another 30 metres we still couldn't locate the cache. We found what looked like a possible cache hide however after reading the last log entry from a month ago (where the cache was found in the grass) I doubt the cache coordinates are still valid or the cache has gone missing. Needs maintenance posted also.

Needs checking

TFTC! Found it laying in the grass. Took the racing car eraser and left an army man.

Forgot to log it whoops!! TFTC!!

I love how this takes us to historical places we wouldn't see otherwise! Easy find, didn't take anything

Pity we could not wonder around the ruins

Pity we couldn't explore the ruins

Quick find on an after work drive with the geohounds - took star eraser left dragonfly - tftc.

An interesting place to visit. I am keen to learn more about Ned Kelly. This was an intriguing experience for me. It was an easy find. Should have been a drive by, but took a while for us to leave. Found with taurus1955 and BentleyTB. TFTC

I love this place and have looked for it in previous visits. I wish that there was more to see.
An easy find with misschief18
Left Gold TB

Took Nothing

Now we have learned something else that we did not know. Not even his ghost to be seen. TFTC.

Lovely drive on rural roads to get to Ned's home. Sadly neither he nor his home were there, although some remnants of the dwelling still remain TOok TB TFTC treenz.team

Nice easy find after planting we. TFTC

About to go looking and a car appears on the road. Waited for them to turn into a property and went looking. Found it quickly and easily. Took sharpener, left happy star eraser. TFTC

A little out of the way for us but worth the drive. Swapped coin for TB. TFTC. Saw an echidna and what is left of Neds home.

TFTC dropped of a TB.!

Geo kid #3 found this one while out with oceanic16

Third one for the day. Took the kids awhile to find this one as it was well hidden.
TFTC

Quick find, great place. Brings back great memories of a property long sold.

Ned wasn't home.

Great to see something of Australian Historical significance. A quick 10 minute search and GeoWife and I found the cache.

Thanks treenz.team for the cache.

Quick find on the road to Moyhu. TFTC

# 2977. Robmc and I were collecting a few of the out of the way caches that we haven't managed to do prior to this. This one sure is off the beaten track. We were heading from Beechworth to Benalla via this detour. The chimney is certainly an impressive remnant of the old home and it is a pity one can't get a closer look at it. Retrieved a TB from here that was last seen in Queensland in October. Will move it along in due course. TFTC

Off the beaten track with bettyboo3747.
I remember this location from visiting it with Chewin' and from the painting in the Glenrowan pub.
Not a lot to see here, but historic all the same.
Thanks, Robmc.

Always wanted to see this place as i am a massive kelly fan amazing history surrounds this area thanks for bringing me here!!!

Thanks treenz.team.

An awesome day in Kelly country. The morning started on a high note as a small crowd gathered in Greta to watch history in the making - Today Ned Kelly had his final wish put in motion.... to be buried in consecrated ground - A moving and touching experience to say the least.
The cache...
How perfect - I had every intention in dropping by here after the funeral and to have a cache at this location .....nice! the hide took a little longer than usual to find - it was hidden so well.
Cahce is in good dry condition.

Thx for the hide.

Just pulled in from QLD for some geo fun. Quick find nice spot TFTC

After a great Christmas at home with the kids, the girlfriend and I headed up to her sister's place in Lima. After a few windy and hot days up there I get a call from my fellow The Demolition Crew team member RebelActs who syas he'll be visiting the area with CrazyNatGirl! We decide to plan a day of caching in the Wangaratta area, and hit the easy drive-by's. I'm so sorry for the generic log, but given I'm over 200 logs behind (no internet or pc for the last few weeks) this is all I can manage. Thanks to all the CO's and their efforts.

This was, cache # 7 of 85 finds for the day in the Company of Trailrunning. No trouble finding this one once the tourists had moved on, Now I know where Ned lived. My thanks to treenz.team for the cache.

Took coin left card

13/12/12 17:20 Find #2248 . I had to flex out to Winton to check something out so took the opportunity for a small detour and quick find

TNLN

Cheers treenz team

P.S. There was no sign of Ned

I've always wondered where this (in)famous locale was. Now I know. Gotta love geocaching

Managed to time a break in the rain to quickly sign the log and jump back in the car without getting too wet.

TFTC!

great spot
left 10 cents and took cheeky devil trackable

It's a shame you can't get in closer to the old homestead, although there isn't much left of it nowadays. I found the cache without a problem. I still had one roll for lunch left, so I unwrapped it and began to eat on it when I looked in my rear vision mirror and spotted a white 4WD ute waiting behind me. I thought that it might have been from the water company so I quickly backed out.

It turns out that it was the Harrowangs. We had a good old chat before I headed off for a few more caches on my way back to Melbourne and left them to get back to work. After some email help on one of their caches, it was good to meet them in person. And thanks to treens.team for an interesting cache and for showing me a piece of history I wouldn't have otherwise known about.

#1360 mr harrowang was out this way for work this afternoon, so mrs harrowang hitched a ride out into the country. We were busy talking as we approached GZ & overshot the place. Did a U-turn and when paying attention realized there was a vehicle parked quite close to GZ. Good to meet Muzza in person, as we had been in email contact earlier in the week. Ned did not seem to be home, but we made ourselves at home and soon had the cache in hand. SL at 2.30pm Took: Captain Cook (wonder what he is doing so far inland?)Left: Cheeky Devil TB - hope he does not cause too much mischief here! Noticed that the grass has dried off very quickly this year. Mr harrowang used to visit this site in his younger days when the sign was readable! TFTC treenz.team and a chance to re-visit an historic site. Like a lot of old farmhouses around the chimney is the only thing still standing.

found it. took grasshopper. left kangaroo football coin. a nice drive out here. tftc.

FTF SL @ 10:20am
Just happened to be in the area so I thought I would drop by to see if Ned was home but he wasn't.
I made myself at home anyway and had a looked around.
On my way to GZ I could see in the distance a couple of vehicle parked on the side of the road and people ducking in and out of trees, so I naturally thought it was a Geo Search Team until some cattle appeared and then it was clear that it was just Farmer type Muggles shifting stock so I slowed down and waited for the stock to be herded through the gate into the paddock, before traveling a few hundred further down the road to GZ.
Found the cache and opened it up to find it packed full with lots of swag and an empty log.
Took some swag and left more
TFTC and FTF prize
