I knew the cache was well tucked away, but surprised more experienced cachers couldn't find it.After returning from a holiday out west I checked today and not only is the cache missing, but also the corrugated iron artwork that was hosting this cache - only the star picket left.Will replace cache and update coordinates in a few days.
Came back for round 2, in the dark with strong torches. Still no nano to be see on Skippy or elsewhere.No one seems to have much luck here.We will leave it at that for now.TFTAdventure.
Experienced cachers not able to find. I will check/replace when we get home at end of Oct
Hi gregandjudi,The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, or it may not but in the absence of the cache owner performing maintenance and/or disabling the cache to check it out, I'm 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 4 weeks) 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 listing and post a new note every 4 weeks to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.Ngaambul - Matt
DNF, 5 people searching. Took note of nano comments from past finds but no luck.
Found It!Even with the hint, it still took a bit of searching to find this little one. Cue the nano rant...TFTC
The cache was enabled when we were staying in the park. Talk about close by! It took two visits to grab it, and I didn't look closely enough the first time. Thanks for adding it here!

Too tough for us. TFTc anyway. Walked through the holiday park afterwards which was very impressive
Checked all of the potential locations given the clue, no avail. Wonder if it has been lost to the latest flood.
Cache found with dalerious on what turned out to be a wonderful day of caching.
We can assure finders that this cache is still in play . The hint tells the story. Don't be mesmerised by the image looking at the man from behind.
Thank you gregandjudi for providing this cache.
Out and about for a day of caching with dalerious and Cybergran V, trying to find enough smilies to earn a souvenir that was on offer .
We decided that our place for hunting caches would be Echuca, and then off to Rochester .
Somehow, all of us had just enough unfounds in the region to get us over the line; well, almost. dalerious and I figured out when we got back home that we were a couple short, so the mad dash was on to make the cut off. We ended up getting a huge bonus on a mystery ftf, so that topped off the day nicely.
All the caches we searched for today were found, and were in good condition .

I seem to recall looking for this cache once before. [8)] Not sure if I didnt post a DNF, or just forgot to log my find. [B)] I have been known to be guilty of both.
With all of us chasing the latest souvenir on offer from Geocaching HQ, catnap777 and I took Cybergran V on a day trip to Moama, Echuca and Rochester picking up loose tricks here and there. Some caches were new to us all, but for the most part, at least one in our party had it already found.
This cache was one for cat' and I to sign. [^]
TFTC gregandjudi. and thanks Skip for looking after it.

Looked for this one with the kids when we checked out of the accommodation but couldn’t find it
Hello gregandjudi thank you for the cache
No dingos here today so the cache was easily found.
This was one of many caches found on our way back home from Newcastle seeing our grand children.

Nice tricky cache. Haven’t logged since it seemed bit difficult to fit it back in the log. TFTC

Second cache of the day took a while despite having a really good hint from overhearing people discussing the cache at an event the other day. Then a local passed us and gave us a better hint, or one that confirmed what I’d overheard. Eventually a PAF narrowed the location even closer, but I found it in the end in a very tricky location, well hidden.
Geoturtle37 and I really should have been almost home by now but we are still about 3 or 4 hours away. More if you take in essential caching along the way. We were pleased to make a quick find here and amazed at where the water has been up to. Thanks for placing the cache.
Found with +Wife and EveTheStaffy after the ANZAC Day event.
The cache guardian turned a blind eye as we continued our search.
All in good order here.
Thanks for the cache gregandjudi.

Found the cache and logged the log as 6ACDDE gregandjudi, Thank you so much for placing it.
Eluded us this time, but will try again next week (hopefully) when we return for a wedding.
Cache and contents ready to be found, but be aware you will need to walk in from Chanter St intersection as road is closed t all but local traffic due to flood damage on road surface.
Even though the water has receded, the road in is quite damaged and closed to all but clean up crew traffic. Water has been head high at GZ, or waist high if you are the iron man.
The river is up, and may be for some weeks. Many roads are impassable even with a 4WD.
Large maintenance run planned for when the river goes down. Some caches may have floated downstream, others innundated and some should be high and dry, just T5 at the moment.
We do not recommend any flooded caches be accessed by boat at this stage, or to attempt by 4WD. It would be good if the roads had a chance to dry out before getting chewed up with high clearance vehicles.

Oh there's more than one!!
Here at Dungala for a funeral, all set up early so thought I would check the Geocaching app and sure enough this one was 85m away from the function centre. A quick walk through lots of puddles and although I searched the wrong one first, I soon had the tiny hide in hand.
Nice hide TFTC

Crossed the river for a few caches before our paddle steamer ride. Third time lucky here but was still a quick find. Glad I didn’t come yesterday with the exodus back to Melbourne.

just a couple from the HHH series in Moama before we make our way back to Wangaratta with R from beavar. The Dinos were behaving today and kept their distance while we SL at 4.25pm #9047 TFTC gregandjudi
We had booked for a few days stay and then looked for nearby hides. We found this on our first day as we explored and the kids tried out the pump track alas we didn't have a pen.... rookie mistake.
However of course the kids were to be on the pump track many times during the stay and this time while I wandered down after them I made sure I had the pen in my pocket and signed the log.
I lovely area with plenty for the kids and a very quiet stay which we enjoyed.

Staying at the resort over the weekend and pinched my son's bike for a quick ride to find this cache. Gps off a bit but after reading through the comments found the cache. Happy to find but not happy rolling up the tiny log. TFTC.
Found a redback spider but no cache. Difficult with lots of muggles driving past. From other cachers it seems we need to look closer next time as it is very small.
Dnf after a quick look. Have to move on to the next ones before we go back to VIc!
Yay, we were excited to be going into NSW as the border bubble has opened up. We wanted to find all the caches in Moama today. Overthinking it here....Doh! Clever hide. TFTC
So tiny! So well done! Such fun and feeling proud that this mini thing was even found. Have signed it and now it's time for the next rare breed
Staying very close by for a few nights and grabbed this one this morning as the area was muggle free, actually the whole region is very quiet thanks to the Victorian Government school holiday lock down. No Victorians holidaying interstate so us New South Welshman had the resort almost to ourselves, so sad to see yet another Murray River set of towns have their busiest time of the year ruined thanks to City dwelling Premiers making snap decisions on a whim. Rant over! Cache found after a short search, thanks gregandjudi for the hide.
Now the restrictions are eased, putting caches back on line.
Enjoy, and remember to sanitise regularly.

Back online when the government allows us to travel again.

Foggy morning walk after the rain. Thought I'd get out nice and early without kids. Found in a nice tucked away spot. Tftc.
Our first visit to the fabulous winter blues festival, a lovely stay in the nearby holiday resort and also a birthday weekend away for me. We loved the natural setting of this place and the other fun loving people staying. I especially loved the duck that we watched walk from the pond to knock on our cabin door with its beak each morning. The kids play area is out of this world with the dinos, volcano and helicopter! This was the only find during our weekend, as we were leaving for home. The log was very snug and I was worried I would tear it so I took a pic instead if required. Thank you gregandjudi
