Unfortunately, as there has not been a response to the last request/s to attend to this cache, or provide regular updates, the cache is being de-listed on the basis that it has been abandoned by the Cache Owner.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained here: [**Unarchive a geocache**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56). If there are components or remnants of the cache, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Georubbish.

If you wish to contact me regarding this cache, please send an email via my profile - [Bunjil,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

This cache is carrying one or more logs which suggest some attention by the cache owner is needed.

The [**Geocache Maintenance guideline**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) indicates that the CO should make periodic visits to check on the cache as well as promptly address any logs that indicate that the cache requires some attention. If you can not attend to the issue promptly, then you need to Disable the cache - I have disabled it this time.

Please respond to this situation (or indicated your intentions including a date) by **19th February**, otherwise it will be necessary to withdraw the cache from the Active listing.

**And don't forget,** once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; [Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [Temporarily Disable and Enable ](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

The mysteriously tractor is long gone unfortunately and from contact with previous finders the cache was located on the tractor. Think this one needs to be archived or CO to rehide and change the description.

No luck today. There's no tractor here anymore. We searched everywhere around a 20m radius. Came out with ww2_nut.

Was not able to locate the fabeled tractor. After a long search and expanded search we were out of luck.

As the description states about a tractor and a nice easy find we came to us with not a tractor in sight. We expanded our search of the surrounding and ww2_nut contacted a previous finder who mentioned the tractor as cache location. Might be time for the CO to check on this cache.

We looked high, we looked low, we looked in, we looked out, but today there was no way we could work this one out! There was nothing at the GZ and reading past logs and the cache notes we were totally bamboozled. Extended our search out to 15m and looked for a lot longer than a 1.5/1.5 'Small' should need - walked away from this one scratching our head.

Thanks for the hunt anyway TheVersteegs.

Last cache for the day good day out with fnsaws

Had to walk in 200 m as the road was washed out only to find that the important piece of machinery is not there any more.

A nice quick find - TFTC

Muggle partner and I were very generously given the opportunity to accompany Moneydork and Tounga to Mildura for the weekend, to attend 2 events
Saturday morning we left Berri and returned there Sunday night. Between that, I found 44 caches , attended the 2 events and had 6 DNFs
According to muggle partner, it was a great weekend I asked if he was now enjoying geocaching and he said 'no. The weekend was just good around the caching!'
Some awesome caches were found and some great people were hugged, met and spoken with

What's a rough ride[?] I'm sure that tractor is no worse than my old Hilux, Harry

Late entry, Did this cache last weekend with Lord Rossatron. It had us thinking for a while as we couldnt find it, we had not looked at logs or pictures until after we had found the cache, Had us stumped though because we did not see any tractor at all lol.....

The hint on this one had us confused, admittedly we hadn't read the description either until now and the logs. Either we are both very very blind or the Tractor has moved on.

Find No. 1118. Found with FUF009 at 1.16pm

Heading up to Mildura for the Annual Port to Port Bicycle Ride Weekend and done some caching along the way. Had to take a detour off the main road to grab these few caches as we were heading into Mildura.

While Mr Tyred n Cranky and FUF009 did nothing else but admire the old tractor, it was Mrs Tyred n Cranky who located the cache. Took pink bracelet - Left yellow dinosaur.

Find # 2627 @ 1316 H

Found with Tyred n Cranky

Once again out annual trip to Mildura so that Tyred n Cranky can enjoy their other hobby, bike riding, and in the annual event of the Port to Port.
As normal a rout was set out so that we could make some finds along the way up.

I along with Mr Tyred n Cranky got a little distracted with the old Tractor at GZ, thankfully one of us knew why we were here and it was Mrs Tyred n Cranky that took care of the cache.

A great bit of agricultural history on display here
And a great cache hide to boot

TFTC and detour down the back roads again [^]

Easy find (cammo was off, we put it back on), Nice bird sounds.

after the thunderstorm i went out on a little caching drive.
luckily, the ride to the cache wasn't as rough as i thought.
nice place to hide a cache, TFTC!

On an expedition to pick up the caches along the Murray River south of Red Cliffs LNTN TFTC

Today was the second day of my holiday, heading to Broken Hill from Ouyen via Mildura, ultimately heading to Port Macquarie. I picked just a number of caches to break up the journey to stretch my legs, but missed Mildura caches alltogether. Interesting piece of history - definitely seen better days. Found the cache quickly.

My thanks to TheVersteegs for the cache.

Great afternoon out with 5 geo kids, great spot for a cache. The Haby babies xxx

This oldie would have been a modern version back in those days, but with that hard seat Hubby said he wouldn't like to do a days work on it. Easy find tftc

This was our 7th cache find in the caching run & we found it at 15:01
So this now makes our total find count 6413.

We took the name of this cache a little too literally, and spent some time driving around the nearby bush tracks before arriving at GZ.

Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent (Around 2 metres)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Spider.
Thanks TheVersteegs for the hunt today.

Quick find on the way home from work. That would be a rough ride. They do not make them like that now. TFTC.
