This has been missing for over 12 months. Needs Maintenance ...or archiving (which apparently we can't request) because the cache owner is not responding at all.
Notice that this cache has not been found for some time. I also noticed that the owner has not logged on since February. 2016. Might be time for it to be removed or replaced.
Fitzy_1965, SpecimenX, Sol de Lune and I (logged as "FASS") headed from Canberra to Orange and surrounds for a caching blitz over the 30-31 July weekend. We logged around 1000kms in the Geo-Jeep, selecting those caches that Fitzy had not previously found. I scored around 130 caches for the trip. The visit was characterised by blue skies, very green paddocks, lots of water off and on the road, a fair amount of mud, and good company! Still plenty of caches to collect and scenic spots to explore on a return trip. Thanks to my fellow travellers for a fun weekend, and the COs for all their efforts in putting out and maintaining the caches.
First DNF for the day, but not the last. SDL was a previous finder on this cache, and confirmed it was not where it should have been. Perhaps a Molong Flood took it for a ride?

I suspect this one is miles away by now - lol. Hope to grab it next time I'm in the region.
Im a local doing the rounds for maitnence and this one seems to be missing may be due to resent rain
Looked around for a while. Resorted to hint and then photo. If photo 1 is accurate then the cache has been taken. No sign of the container anywhere.
On a 2 week holiday and today travelling from Bathurst to Dubbo. Of course we had to do some caches, eh. We stopped here and we stopped there to locate those caches wherever they were placed. I apologise for the generic log, however each of the ones found, were great in their own way. Thanks to the CO's of the caches for placing them where they were. TFTC
On our way to Dubbo from Bathurst as part of our two week road trip from Canberra to Tweed Heads. Many interesting caches found, some we are still looking for and a greater appreciation of our vast country. Thanks to all the COs - you have brought us to some very interesting places!
Found early morning after working in the district and over-nighting in town. Not much flow below GZ at the moment. Many thanks RYLISH
Another cache in Molong with good size parking for big vehicles and it was shady and breezy here on a hot day. Hard to imagine that trickle being a river almost up to the bridge. TFTC RYLISH.
Interesting to learn about to flood, not too much trouble accessing cache - tftc!
Glad the cache maker was with me so I didn't end up with a bump on my head

Yes, it was a quick find in a reasonably pretty park area.
After the find, we stopped by the local pub for the lunch special of the day.
Found at 1.55pm on 3rd January, 2016. TFTC.

Realised we had to cross the bridge, but once there it did not long to spot the container. It looked like it might be a stretch but proved easier than appearances.

We really thought Molong was a well cared for town and looked to be doing all right.

On our way to Yeoval and picked up this on our way. There frogs talking to us , you can clearly hear them say Bull frog. TFTC
Was just at the right fight for this one. Wa shocked to find a large enough container bone dry with no goodies. Changed that by adding spinning top an a bug. TFTC
We're on our way home to Sydney after a night in Yeoval for Dead Men Talking - a play/ conversation between Banjo Paterson and Henry Lawson. Wow! Can't believe how high the water was in 2005. We're guessing the newish overpass came as a result of those floods. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
A nice easy cache on our Sunday mini road trip out west, 16 caches found for the day (4hr's of caching) with not a dud cache in them , only one DNF , thanx heaps to all the hiders of the caches , that took us on roads we had never traveled ! We had a top one, cheers and thanx again
QLD Mega trip 2015 with Sol de Lune. On this almost 400km road trip we drove from Canberra to Stanthorpe caching in all the towns along the way with mostly great success. Around the Mega there were heaps of caches to be done including a few power trails. Despite the weather we got all of the planned caches done.
Day fourteen and wow, the last day of the trip. We did a bit more caching in Moree before heading south. All the way home in one day with only a bit of caching along the way. Thanks.

On the way to Bathurst after the Mega. A quick find. Weather today was like home (Tasmania), cold! Plenty of room to park the geovan. TFTC
Found it. Log is wet I will return and replace with a new log and container. TFTC GT
The second last day of our Christmas/New Year camping trip saw us heading from Wanda Wandong camping area in Goobang National Park via Yeoval, Cumnock and Molong down to Orange.
Not any water in the flood today - but we saw the marks from Nov 2005, over 5 meters

This find was pure luck. We had given up when bikerbuddy found the container on the ground, well down the slope. We returned it to where we thought it should go. Hope it survives now.

There's an obvious hiding place up under the bridge, but the cache wasn't there. We checked the logs and decided we would probably DNF it too. For some reason I looked further down the slope and I found the cache. Strangely, the log had been vandalised, but then placed back in the container. There were only a few pages left. We signed the log and replaced the cache where it was obviously meant to go. We tried to make it as hidden as possible, but who knows how it will last if some determined muggle has their eye on it. Thanks
Out and about but failed to unearth his one.
The cache does not seem to be behind its hide, no evidence of cache at all.

A nice easy walk from the stop off area.
Cache was laying on the ground with the lid off, placed it back in its hiding place.
Thanks.

Not found during a road trip with Kusi88 and Juno out to the Warrumbungles for a long weekend of camping.
Missed the turn off, went driving straight by, will have to stop next time instead!
Cheers

A caching road trip to put web guy out of angst on his recent 'home' releases ... a surprisingly easy find, can only compliment the good burghers of Molong for it staying in place. TFTC
Quick find on the way home from a trip to Wellington for a Virtual cache for August. TFTC
Caught in action by a muggle and his dog. Hard to imagine the water level written on the bridge. TFTC
found this cache with out too much trouble. left a TB lost and found.

easy find today, unfortunately for the nearby fruit salesman we had already bought our fruit from Orange. there has been lots of rain round hear lately as seen by the numerous puddles but no where near the flood zones this area is capable of. caching with rainforest cookie and ratdog 12 today. tftc.
I reckon I might have been getting my feet wet here on some occasions in the past. TFTC TN and left a weroamin token.
found in the company of weroamin (who nearly drove off without his gps!) TFTC.
