This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.


Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache.

If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 28 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

I wish I had found more of CO's caches before trying for this one today as I would have had a better idea of what I was looking for. This was the first cache of his and I had no idea what I was looking for. Another day maybe.

DNF, looks like it has been cleaned up!

Did Not Find after a long look

No luck for Suscoe today here.
Judging from the last log, there seems to have been a big cleanup in the GZ area.
No sign of a cache for us today.
We turned over lots of stuff.

TFTC
This took a little time to find, lots of rubbish now in the area... almost picked up a dirty nappy.... ewwww
Cheers

dnf for me too

Could not locate anything. Not sating it is missing, just saying that I could not find it.

Very quick find but late log. Tb retrieved. ( passed into a new airport cache) all good with cache. Tftc

#1447 Travelling from Canberra to Melbourne today, so decided it would be good to do 3 caches across 3 states in one day challenge. (Hadn't thought of doing this before, it was only because I had been looking at geocache stats the night before & I saw we had succeeded previously in 2 states in one day) After the tricky one in Canberra earlier in the day it was good to have this one an easy find. Also a good chance to stretch legs both for us and geo-pup and also to say goodbye to our trackable friend Buzz. TN, Left Buzz, signed log. TFTC ozpirate, a driver change and we were back on our way!

Made a slight detour from the motorway to get this one. It certainly would have been a nice trip through the mountains but I was on the way to Canberra via the faster route, so after a quick find, it was back on the road again. TFTC.

On a journey to Tumut for goedad to go fishing so some caching on the way and while there. Nice easy find, however the Trackable was missing. If you did pick up Minie and forgot to record it now is the time to go and record it so her family know where she is please they may be a it worried.

Needed a stop so why not here! Soooo much rubbish though! TFTC

Leaving Tumut, off to tackle some caches in the area while heading to Victoria. TFTC

TFTC. Quick and easy find on the way to Adelong Falls for a walk and a picnic.

Bigger than expected.Quick find with Simpsonfamily15. Thanks from the german explorer turtle:-)

#7950 - 10:10; I was headed down to Melbourne to visit the geoaunt in hospital and catch up with the geostudent while I was there. Being in no hurry and seeking to avoid some of the boredom of the highway, I decided that today would be a good opportunity to take a detour and collect a few caches along the way. The route took me along the Snowy Mountains Highway through Adelong to Tumut, then south through Batlow and on to Tumbarumba before heading back for the Hume Highway and Melbourne. This was the first stop after leaving the Hume and will be nice to get off the 'to do' list as I see it every time I drive south! A nice quick find and sign today. TFTC ozpirate

Nice quick drive by at this one today. TFTC.

Heading 'home' for a long overdue holiday at the beach but wanted a few caches and this suited a quick pull off the Hume along the way. Only 200km down but with 950km still to drive today it doesn't leave a lot of time to stop to often so have to pick my chances for a good park and grab! Quick find then off down the road again, thanks for the cache. Noticed the trail of caches further down this road, will definitely have to return this way another day.

Found with u_c and gm10 no tb found

Found with btm and gm10

Quick stop on the way back to Euroa from Gundagai. Tftc.

#8510 @1020
Found on a meandering drive from Canberra to Melbourne Airport (for a quick return trip to Auckland, NZ for my daughter's admission to the bar, then back to Canberra via the Mega). Easily found. TFTC.

Out and about with Deep_99. TFTC

quickly found the cache after parking right next to it

Found with Geojill_11
Log 1093 Streak Day 308

I managed to accidently park right next to the cache.

Tagging along with the "Rats" on holidays has it's advantages, not only do we get to see our cool country but we also get to do a heap of caching as Dad just can't help himself and has to stop at every cache he can.

Heading across Australia on nearly every dirt road possible we stopped and found your cache as part of our adventure and for that, I thank you! Sorry about the log being a "cut n paste" but tthats just because we stopped at so many caches.

TFTC

The Rats and mini rats found this cache as part of our Purposeful Meander across Oz where we visited every mainland state and territory in 8 weeks.

Apologises for the late log in some cases but we are only just catching up on our logging now that we have arrived back home. Your cache makes up many of the great memories we now have from the adventure. The faceplate style log doesn't detract from the experience we had finding the cache.

Thanks

My last cache before heading for home. Cache found OK, although a bit of rubbish around. Dropped TB.

Thanks,

Another good find while driving / walking around the area today.
Had a great time going from cache to cache.
Thanks for the fun!
SL

Heading to Tumut overnight so grabbing a few caches along the way. Stopped off here and made this quick discovery but not in the first place I looked.
Thanks ozpirate for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.

A quick easy one. Shame about the rubbish. TFTC.

Well almost there, almost back to the big scary Hume Highway!
It has been great collecting caches along this country highway, thanks for the fun.

A quick find to finish up this road.

Second bite at the "cherry" TFTC

Small detour to get this cache from the Hume. Driving that way very often I seem to have run out of caches so detours you are necessary. Quick find thanks.

Found with IamCoust

Found with The Matetrix on a 6 day road trip to the Surf Coast 2016 Mega event. 14 of 121 caches found. Sorry for the generic log. TNLNSL TFTC

A quick find after parking near GZ and following the short geotrail.

Thanks ozpirate for placing this cache.

No 6. Log follows.

Found on our way home from our holidays. Thanks for the cache, it helped us break up the trip.

An easy find to the western start of the Snowy Mountains Highway.

Travelling the Hume Highway from Wangaratta, Victoria to Yass, NSW today and finding caches along the way to stretch the legs and add some smileys. Took a detour along the Snowy Mountains Hwy and SL at 10.30am. Found cache lying in the grass, so put it back where it should be and hid it well again. #3855 TFTC ozpirate - our first of 30 for the day.

Always like a quick find!!

#1748 On my way from Canberra to Albury for a few days caching. Took a quick detour here and made the easy find. TFBMH ozpirate.

Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks ozpirate for the cache.

Quick stop and grab and a chance to rest the legs. A classic cache hiding spot TFTC

Nice easy one on the way to Batlow. The rubbish threw me off a little but soon had CIH. TFTC.

New container to find with room for more.

Nice easy find off the freeway

Quick find. Shame about the rubbish. TFTC

On a trip to Tumut for a day of geocaching with Indianagleeson. First find of the day a quick park and grab. Shame to see all the rubbish around, very disappointing. Tftc.

Day four of our month long escape from Tassie. A quick find and then on our way. Shame about all the rubbish that's been dumped around GZ. TFTC

1:52 PM #1384
On day 3 of our 3-week road trip from Melb to Surfers.
Nice little detour and rest break.

Yipee

Just a bit of touring and catching up on a few easy caches - Log signed - TFTC

Short stop easy find

Quick find with The Storm Man on the way to the Bookham trail. Pulled of the highway for this one and then back on and pulled a U-turn to continue heading north. TFTC.

Today is the day that Joelisa and I head out to complete the "Endangered Species" trail in Bookham and then try to beat his largest cache day and set a new one for me. We woke at 5am and set off from Walla Walla at 5.30. But first, a few quick caches on the way to the trail. TFTC

Heading to Kyabram, Vic. Quick easy find not far from highway. TFTC.

My second day on a caching road trip for the Mega Event next weekend. I was up bright and early to start caching again.
Thanks for the cache.

14:59 HRS

Quickly found as we passed on by, headed for our campsite at Tootool.

Thanks.

Westwards we continue, an easy find today.

On my way back to Albury after a weekend with my geo kid. A few Muggles driving by but all good. Loads of rubbish sadly but cache was intact. Thanks.

Back on this lovely road. first time and loven it. TFTC

Another nice find. Thanks for the cache

Paul M. Tumut NSW

Found with the geo-son during a quick detour on the first day of a drive to Adelaide. Lots of rubbish around GZ but the cache is OK. Many thanks ozpirate

On a road trip out west, so a few caches were in order. I've been past this way a couple of times, but never grabbed this cache. Slight detour and stop saw the cache in hand with the log signed.

Thanks for the cache ozpirate.

Well hidden and not immediately obvious. Cache all good.

A quick find was made on this one. Nicely but simply hidden. We had the location to ourselves. Thanks ozpirate.

Find 123 + 2 DNF's on an overnight trip to Wagga Wagga. Found on our way back home via Tumut. A quick find, thanks ozpirate.

It was road trip time and three days traveling and caching was quickly planned. An early morning start and the first location was Mt Buller. From Mt Buller I headed to Bookham in NSW and stayed there the night before hitting the Endangered Species series of caches, starting early the next morning. Heading South West I stopped at Gundagai to visit a 'dog', continued through Walla Walla and Urana before crashing just out of Berrigan. The third day I continued west to Echuca then south through Bendigo and the final stretch for home.

The weather was good on day one but later that night it started to rain and continued for the next two days. Needless to say I did get quite wet on occasions, and some of the country roads I followed where no place for a 2WD, the Prado would slip and slide but luckily kept moving forward. By then end of the trip there was another 1800 km on the clock, 239 cache finds, 2 DNFs and 5 FTF's just to top it off. Thanks to all the CO's for the caches I found and the places they brought me to.

A nice quick park and grab. Thanks for the hide.

Lots of litter in the area.

Shame about the rubbish strewn around but found the cache sensibly located.

TFTC

Big pile of rubbish but no cache

Out for a morning drive, to pick up a few caches. A quick find here.
Many thanks for placing this cache, ozpirate, for us and others to find.

8817 and 2nd of 36 found today.[font=Verdana] [Green] I thought/think I've found cache/s here before but maybe not? Anyway grabbed this today with a slight detour whilst on my way to Bendigo. Could probably arrange a CITO here. Pity I didn't have any bags with me.[/Green]


Thanks for the cache [Blue]ozpirate[/Blue] and the peak. [font=Verdana]

So much rubbish here, filled a bag nd chucked it in boot but there is still heaps more. Tftc

BettyBoo3747 and I were looking at all the caches around Tumut and figuring we needed a few days in the area. Today we were travelling south (work tomorrow!) and slightly detoured to grab this cache.
A bit of a nervous moment turning back onto the Snowy Mountains highway.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 7037. We (Robmc and I) are on the road travelling south after 3 days based at Jugiong. Wanted to grab just a few on the way home. Another wonderfully warm and sunny day, but not good for a hayfever sufferer like Rob.

Our last cache for the day. Just a quick pull-in around the corner. Will leave others along here until we have a Tumut foray at some stage. A nice quick find but now for the scary bit, wanting to do a U-turn so we can get back on the highway. I reversed quite some distance back away from the crest coming up the hill. Had just done the turn when a car zoomed over the horizon. Not a good spot to want to turn back to the highway, that's for sure.

Thanks ozpirate

Tourists were taking pics of the sign as I approached. Swung back thinking using my hands in bark on a warm spring day was dumb - fortunately no snakes about. TFTC.

Waited a couple of minutes for a muggle to leave.. but quick find after that..

Found this dude in the rain!! Make geokid go find it
Thanks!!

On the way to Chiltern - detour and quick spotted and signed the log. Thanks ozpirate.

Found wirh MegNat

Found with Fit02. Nice easy find. TFTC

Found on a run to Wagga and back with Hoojar (aka H&S).

We'd both found a cache right here before and today another quick little stop on our way through. TFTC!

Found during a twenty four hour caching trip with Steeba. We had headed into the Riverina, aiming to complete the Riverina Geocaching Geotriad Tribute Power Trail in Wagga Wagga (I have found one cache of the Triad, Geocaching HQ) and the Endangered Species Power Trail in Bookham, whilst also collecting the odd cache or two along the way. This was one of many cache finds across a 24 hour period; I hope that you will forgive the generic log. We signed many cache logs over the course of a travels as "H & S."

We took about 2.5 hours for the Riverina Geocaching Geotriad Power Trail on Friday night, and 3.5 hours for the Endangered Species Power Trail on Saturday morning. Pretty good times we thought. We immensely enjoyed our trip, and thank all of the cache hiders for their efforts.

A slight diversion off the Highway... I think I have found a cache here before?

Cheers
