Given we are the seventh logged DNF since last November, it seems this one has dried up. It needs to be temporarily disabled by the owner until they have an opportunity to check on the cache and take whatever action is necessary please.

Couldn't find this one. Spent a lot of time looking and searching with the spiders, but nothing found.
No luck after a search that was a little longer than would have been appropriate for the D/T rating, I hate DNFs, but had to give up on this one.
I found this cache as a joint part of “Team” *Throsbyonchurch* and in which name the log book was signed. I now have my own account as I’m old enough to cache myself, so I am claiming a fair share of my earlier finds. As I had no caching name at the time there's no log in the book for me but I’m claiming the find under team ToC. Thank you for the hide.
Found it thank you for the hide. Just completed half the RGGT series and have to head four hours home. Found this on our way.
Found it . -- 5:22 PM -- SL TNLN TFTH. Thanks for bringing us here.
Amazed !! Barely saw any find numbers in the 600's we have ripped through them incredibly quickly this month.
Travelled 4hrs to attend two events in Junee at the Monte Cristo and the Licorice Factory. Completed the first half of this series as we had to head home a day early due to a couple of factors, one being the threat of the Murrumbidgee flooding which caused us to lose our pre-booked accommodation for the weekend.
*** NO trackables found in this cache ***

Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. Unfortunately the contents were wet, particularly the logbook. It was still signable. Thanks ozpirate for the cache.
We found your cache Dry Country on our camping holiday with GeoJess [woof] from Ballarat around NSW and back in search of warmer weather and a few caches

Night time find on the way to Wagga Wagga. This stretch of road gets a lot of traffic. TFTC.
There were a number of new unfound caches in Tumut when we arrived back last night, but with the weather today we had to pass up the FTF opportunities and head for Wagga.
The misty rain continued for much of the journey but this pullover was too good to just drive past. Especially when there is a cache to be found.
We had a couple of false starts before Mrs SKI found the little fellar and the log was soon signed.

Together with Spade52 I traveled for almost 6 weeks through Down Under Australia. We made our trip, using a Spaceship rental car, visiting the 5 most southern states of Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Australia Capital Territory. Spade52 was the navigator and I the driver. We mostly avoided the motorways and mainly used the coastal and local roads that led us through many small nice and rustic villages and sleeping towns. We stayed in motels, backpacker hostels and occasionally a campsite. Luckily the weather was very agreeable during our trip with nice temperatures and very little rain. We especially enjoyed the nature, the rain forest, the wilderness, the (for us) extraordinary indigenous flora and Australia's wildlife. On our trip we visited many geocaches. All CO's thanks for showing us many interesting locations and special spots.
Today we continue our tour on the Sturt Highway to Canberra. On the way we visited some interesting spots and also found some geocaches. This geocache was easy to find. Very nice hide.

Found by Mary & David, at 1530. A lot of km since our last find, but at least we seem to have left the rain behind. We've travelled the last 4 days in such horrific weather, it's a relief to see some patches of blue sky and a blink of sunshine. Beautiful country, and some magnificent gums. Our thanks to ozpirate.
Find 121 + 2 DNF's on an overnight trip to Wagga Wagga. Found on our way out of Wagga heading to Tumut. A quick find, thanks ozpirate.
After setting up at the Bowering Caravan Park we set off to do some caches. At first it was so hot and then down came heavy rain. We got pretty wet while getting this cache but we enjoyed the experience of caching in this pretty town. Thanks to ozpirate for placing this cache.
[teal]Sorry for the late, we're just catching up on our logs from the last few weeks of our trip.
As we head from town to town as part of our "Purposeful Meander around Oz" the Rats and the Mini Rats found this cache.

I'm doing a GeoCaching tourist trip - The GeoSchnauzers and I are off to Wagga Wagga and surrounds, just under 200 kms from home. It's Monday morning, and we're off in good time. Once out of Canberra, the first cache I haven't found is past Yass. I've booked into a cheap motel which will accept the dogs, I'm kitted up with dog gear, geocaching gear, computer gear, for geocaching, and even gear for me to wear.
Monday. It' s a beautiful day, sunny, and promising to be hot for spring. There's a cooling breeze. On getting to the first location, I've found my GPS hasn't had some of the caches here loaded - I loaded in a circle from Wagga wagga, and have now found it didn't quite reach to here. So I'm using my tablet, and, where necessary, entering coords into my GPSr.
No 6 of 18. It's not dry today - the countryside is lush and green, after the recent rains. Nice spot, thanks for the cache!!

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.

Found on our Wagga Wagga trip. On the Sturt Hwy now and heading straight for Wagga Wagga. We knew that this was on the other side of the road to us, but we didn't realise that it was a non-overtaking lane. We quickly crossed to the other side with the car even thought we shouldn't have. A quick find and sign at GZ. Wasn't dry today - it was gentely sprinkling over the paddocks. TFTC ozpirate!
A quick drive by on this one! TNLNSL, thanks for the cache ozpirate.

on my way to OZ Mega event in Murray bridge with Darzee Di. 6th for the day tftc ozpirate
ACTchil and I are travelling to the OZ Mega in Murray Bridge and I just had to get some caches on the way to make my 500 before we got there. Easy find, been lucky with the easy finds today tftc
Found this one during our month long tour of SE Australia. It is our intention to find as many caches as possible during our stay and as a result logistics dictate that this generic log will have to suffice .Hope the cache owners, to whom we extend our gratitude for their efforts, will all understand the reasons for this.All good wishes from us both.
