Sadly, the cache and cammo has gone missing. It was fun while it lasted but it's light's out I'm afraid.

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.

Since nobody has found this since Feb last year, and there are multiple DNFs, i'm putting in a needs archived report. I hope i'm not wrong!

Wished I'd read the logs before I dropped by. Looks like the local kids have turned GZ into a cubby house

Can't see any container.

We thought we would take a look at this one even though there had been several DNF's. We could not see it either. Trying to interpret the hint had us chuckling at the possibilities.....

No finds in months. I have a feeling the cache is missing. Are you able to do a check CO?

No luck again- found nothing to fit the clue

Came here thrice. At first with the headlamp in the dark since I thought the need some special light. Nothing. The second time and after reading logs, again nothing. Rain, moozies and spiders prevented me from further caching. Third time, again no luck.

Having a bad day

No luck here. Pissed off a lot of spiders and left with itchy arms. I'll be back!

#392 (1 of 2 today) (Streak day 47)

Drove to GZ after work - parking just north of the corridor in North Road - in my continuing attempt to complete this series in reverse order (just 4-1 left to find).

Followed my iPhone and could see pretty quickly where it was pointing me. Walked in close and spotted a bong pipe (AKA short length of garden hose) and an empty beer bottle.
And the camo for the cache.

Easy find then.

That clue made no sense until I found it lol

Found on 1/1/14 at 6:50pm. My first find of 2014. Made my way through the grassy field and headed straight towards GZ. Only a few more to go in the ECR series. SL TFTC JordsAU

Has the light fallen off the big Xmas tree? Quick find in the trees.

Stopped on the way home to continue the series. TFTC

No ghosts this evening

Another good find with TuisReturn
We enjoyed touring around the area finding caches

Quick walk to site - good (different) cache cover!
SL TFTC

Found while on a big geo trip away with tmann421.
Sorry for the late & repeat logs as just catching up now.
A great time had, some wonderful places seen, thanks to all the NSW geo cachers.

Quik arvo find en route to home.

# 6925 Found on a morning drive around before going in to ANZ stadium to watch
the mighty Roosters win the NRL Grand final against the Eagles, just for the record.
Not many muggles around here today and a quick find. Funny too. TN LN SL.
Thanks for the cache JordsAU,
Roostaman.

Found it so funny spot.

TFTC. Nice easy one to start. Log is a little damp

Thought from my last look at a street directory that it would only be about a five or so minute walk from Five Ways; how wrong I was! Took me nine minutes just to get to the "road"!
Also thought I wouldn't need the GPS, as I'd looked on Google maps, but saw nothing in amongst the grass where it put me; waited ages for the phone GPS to settle, then spotted the hiding place from about 20m away
Ground is actually very, very tough and bumpy, bit hard to walk
Nice container too, TFTC!

Found it with supasmile, porko2003 and pirry

First day in a while. Great day to cache on a sunny winters day. Love the series. Found with supasmile, sonecas24 and pirry

GPS on few Android phones had us at the front of no 10 on Sheeham st. After a few moment phones got their bearing together and we where soon where we were suppose to be.

Found on dusk with a small torch.
Log book is ok and thanks for the hide.

This was also our 2nd of the series. The geopups dragged me ahead, so the geotoddler got a bit behind, but he eventually caught up and when we got to GZ it was clear where the container was hiding. TNLNSL. On the way back to the car the 2yo discovered that if he was loud enough there was an echo, so I hope the locals were all at work!

2nd find in this series, quick find with the obvious camo! Logbook a bit damp, and sad to see the remnants of shredded logbook paper in there as well TFTC!

And again, this was a quick find on a beautiful day. SL TFTC. Greetings from Arizona, USA.

After arriving at GZ, I wasnt quite sure if the object we were looking at was camo or something completely different! Found the cache soon after with extraordinaryellen TFTC

Found with geoleo6, easy find

Found on a holiday caching day with Carojajoda. Day 7 of my holiday caching streak. Sloshed through the grass to ground zero. Walked past two cache guardians - stunning ibis birds. Quick and easy find. Log was destroyed - all ripped but still in bag. Walked back through the slosh again. TFTC JordsAU.

Out on a caching day with Karennicole we found the cache quite easily and am not surprised that muggles have attacked this one. Local kids (like moths) would be well attracted to this container! SL and replaced cache. Thanks for leading us to this trail.

A muggle found the cache and ripped the logbook and left the torn pages scattered on the ground with the container opened on the ground. So I picked up the shreds and put them back in and left the container out of sight a few feet away.

After working not too far from here today, I had some time to spare after for a bit of a walk. Decided to have a go at a few of these 'ghost road' caches. At times it seemed strange to be wandering along the middle of a six lane highway covered in grass. This was definitely not what I expected. Although my GPS had me zero'd out a few metres away I eventually checked out the obvious 'camo' object and was surprised to uncover the cache. TFTC, Biggles.

Slowly finding more caches in this series. Very surprised to see the "camo" there. Cheers.

out for the morning with minidalek the geokid.
she really liked this one, in her words, "the hint was really cool".
TFTC.

Soggy soggy walk up the hill from North Rd. Stood in teh middle of the paddock but soon saw where I needed to check. Hope the hide survives there! Thanks JordsAU.

Interesting cover up

Found with drdalek and dinkyfish.

Quick find, although I thought my satellite map was a bit off...TFTC

It took a little longer than most of the other caches in the series mainly because I couldn't see the wood for the trees. Eventually looked in the right spot and there it was. TNLN. TFTC.

An interesting house in the back yard of someone's house nearby. Wonder what the history of that was?

Got to GZ, and saw some unique camo - didn't expect the cache to be there, but it was.

Screechy bats made it that much better...hehehe

Strange cache! Enjoying this series at night. Thanks!

I had to find a quick cache to maintain my streak. This was one of a number of this series which seemed to fit the bill. I'd driven past here a few weeks ago but did not attempt it then as there was a guy in a tractor mowing the grass in this section of the road. Today, the coast was clear and after a short stroll we soon had CIH as the camo is not very discreet. Thanks JordsAU.

Found with Mr MR. This is my first of the series and was a trouble-free find. I'm glad they mowed the grass here recently, but if this great weather continues it might need cutting again soon. SL TFTC

The hint was a dead give away, and Satanas666 decided to recycle parts of the hint All still well, thanks JordsAU.

Spider still on patrol! Dropped off geocoin.

The road was soaking wet but the cache was nice and dry!?!

TFTC.

This was the driest cache we found today after we made our way across a sodden paddock. Thanks

Awesome cammo. Very cute! TFTC JordsAU

On my way back to the shop after finding #4 but this was in the way.
Nice easy find and liked the camo item! It'll stay dry there.
TFTC #824

Love the camo.

TFTC.

#1795
I drove over, parked and walked along the high grass towards the trees. Searched and found where I wasn't expecting it. SL, Took the TB and replaced cache and camo. Another one done. TFTC

Lights out indeed.TFTC

That's our fifth today, cool.

Nice, easy cache.
I hope it stays where it is and doesn't get muggled.

After a very warm late March day, which included a welcome swim at our neighbour's, an opportunity presented itself to find half of the caches in this series. We dropped our geosons at our church late afternoon, which is situated just near ECR #4, then the geowife dropped me at ECR #7 and I walked from there with the geodog all the way to ECR #3. It was a great walk, and since there are 10 in the series I will decide which is my favourite when I finish the series.

We left ECR #6 and I was glad that we didn't have to jump any more fences. The grass remained cut for the first half of the walk then past one fence and obviously the lawnmower couldn't get through here and we were back to long grass. Which was a bit of a worry for ticks and maybe snakes. A guy came out of his back fence as we were passing to give a bit of exercise to his shitzus but they were a bit aggressive with geodog after a few sniffs so he took them back inside. We then trudged along to GZ where we found a very interesting camo - unique in my experience of geocaching. I wonder if JordsAU brought it here for the cache or if it just happened to be here?

TFTC JordsAU - nice sized container made for an easier find.

I'm liking the way geocaches take me places I would never have been before...

TFTC

Nice quick easy find. TFTC.

Good spot beautiful gz. Where oh where did u find the camo very smart. On and I love walking through knee length grass. Tftc

Dropped off two trackables.

Reperio at 1720.

Managed to find a park nice and close this time...and as soon as I arrived at GZ, the cache was quickly located. Enjoyed this interesting little series today.

Gratias JordsAU.

Found it. Interesting camo!
Took TB.
TFTC, first find for my birthday

Took a walk in from North Road (the actual original "Great North Road" course I am told) and admired the jerry-built jobs on the left from "Massive Moves". I think a track is forming on the way to GZ. I was headed in the wrong direction before I saw the light. Oh and I found the cache. Signed and dropped off a TB. Always good to have caches that will take TBs, all too rare nowadays.

Thanks!

(As soon as I got home ECR#3 v2 was published... dagnabit!

found with mad056 ,very interesting camo TFTC

Fount it. Nice easy find.

Found with Kenwang227. TFTC!

The GPS wanted me in the open, but really there was only one possible spot to look nearby and there it was. Interesting camo! Thanks JordsAU, the bits of house at the start are certainly interesting.

I thought the bits of house on the other side were interesting, although one bit looks bent. Then I came across something else interesting. Funny what you can find. TFTC

Thanks for the qiuckie,

Cheers

We had left our run a little late today but braved the weather and followed a trail almost to GZ where we saw a suspisious items and then it all made sense for a quick find under lights in more one than one. We signed the log and re hid, TN LN TFTC

Out with evangt & footyfanatics to tackle the Eastwood county road trail. Evangt found this one after spotting something out of the ordinary. Logged & on our way to the next one. TFTC

Found on slightly rainy Sunday afternoon! Easy find

Found it on a warm Sunday morning out with evangt and pdbunce. A nice easy find after a short stroll across the long grass. Yes were also were wondering about the house portions placed on a nearby property. Very strange.

I found the nearby seemingly abandoned houses quite strange. Odd camo. TFTc

Needed one for the day to fill in a hole in the day/month found matrix. Nice little stroll and allowed us to view the interesting house next door from a different angle. Hope this lasts as I can imagine the muggle kids enjoy playing around here. Thanks JordsAU.

Quick and easy find

After receiving an email about the County Road I became really excited at the thought of more local caches. pdbunce, Footyfanatics and I decided to tackle these today. I really enjoyed the concept of following a once proposed road however the reality in my opinion is that other than the 2nd and 9th in the series there is nothing much to see and I found myself more frustrated than having fun. Interesting structure behind the house at the gate that leads to the cache. I guess they got the house transported here with the intention on knocking down the old one. Looks like it became all a bit to hard and here it sits on blocks gathering moss.

I did wonder what the unique container was. Yep, I liked it! Thanks JordsAU.

Nice cache, Bit worried about the AK47, TFTC

Easy find in a pretty unique spot.

Noticed it was protected by an automatic weapon likely left by a kid.

Considering its a new cache, was pretty empty, and looked like an area that the kids play, left a another toy in the cache for them to find.

Thanks for the cache!

Found with team angry birds

Found it

15:00 my fourth cache of this series today and second place in logbook. my the best position...but hopefully soon it will be even better. TFTC

Published

5/02/13 7:22 AM. Cache #426. Current streak: 149 days. Continuing on from #4, I parked on North Rd and walked along a low-cut path in the grass. Spotted a likely area and found the cache under something, along with a large huntsman, who I left lurking there. My second FTF this morning. TFTC and the series, JordsAU. }:)

Easy find on the way home from work. In a remarkable co-incidence, I was working nearby to this corridor just last week and read all about the unfinished road on Ozroads (a great read), all the time wondering why there were no caches along here. I can only hope it stays as open space for a very long time. Beware the cache guardian who was quite toey as I retrieved the cache. Many thanks JordsAU
