One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Did not find this cache after a thorough search. In light of the many DNFs, could the CO replace the cache or archive it. Thanks for creating the cache.
 
22-Sep-15
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.

We drove to within about 20 metres of this one and then wandered down to the creek. I wondered what had happened to the old bridge. It's hard to imagine the creek swelling enough to knock it out. We had to look in a few places before I finally eliminated enough possibilities to find the cache. It wasn't until the next day, when I saw a sign for the nearby stadium and its sports teams, that I understood the meaning of the cache name. Thanks

#2780- For the spot, there were quite a few possible hiding spots. We saw something we thought may have been left out of a cache, and then spotted a cute baby doll nearby. Soon after, bikerbuddy had CIH. Thanks.found on our way to the Hunter.

In the area, sort of anyway, to view some houses to purchase. Got PoppetHead park, had time to do this as well, before the next appointment. Parked the car, walked over, a few muggles in the park, took interest which soon wained. Found the structure. Found the cache after a short search. IS this where it stood, or has it been dumped here? Pretty significant historical for its railway history. TFTC littlescotty34.

Riding the road bikes to this cache wasn't terribly clever. Luckily we were rewarded with a very good cache. Thanks very much! After cycling some more we passed the juniors field and then it finally clicked why the cache was called what it's called!
 
30-Aug-14
Got swooped a few times by pies in the ride to this spot. We took a small detour to grab this one before heading back up to mount view Road.
My geocaching coach spotted this one.
Thanks for the cache

21-Apr-14
We were having a leisurely trip down to Sydney to attend our church conference and visiting some relatives over a few days so we had some extra time to grab caches along the way.

We were heading down a quicker route south and this popped up close by so we just had to grab it!

This was a nice quick find and we headed off South.

Thanks LittleScotty34

So very pleased to have found this one at this location, maybe it was me that suggested a hide here if it wasn't I at least thought it as I come every year for a dog agility trial. Not going home with any prizes but glad to go home having found a cache. SL #1318 on streak day #625 TFTC

We looked for half an hour and couldn't find it Sad
 
05-Jan-14
As mentioned by other finders, the general area is quite disgusting with all the garbage strewn around. When we arrived at GZ, a car with three or four young men was parked nearby. It was not clear what they were doing, but when they saw us, they took off.
Searched a while around both the structures since the GPSr could not decide where it wanted us to go. Eventually found the cache in a logical place.
 
05-Jan-14
I would like to apologise to everyone for the amount of garbage dumped in the area, this was a clean area when the cache was placed. The reason for the location was to introduce tourists to the complex but not so that it could be muggled easily. There are two options here, if you find the cache do your part for our beautiful country and take some trash away with you, or I can move the cache to another location and make it a micro which I won't be able to do until I return to the country. Happy caching

While staying in Cessnock for the weekend, I picked up a few caches. tftc.
Crusty.

Nice spot. Shame about all the people that dump their rubbish here. Took a little while to find but worth the search.

I replaced the battery (not sure why someone would leave a battery that can corrode and leave acid in the cache) with a Xmas ornament.

Found in the company of Arseiam, TG, and my son. Actually Arseiam found it after I had totally searched around it's hiding location. Nice relics.

I was initially dismayed by all the nearby dumped rubbish, but it turned out quite fun with some interesting objects found and many photoes taken. I put freaky Elmo and a doll in the trees, and Arseiam removed a box of 'trash'. SL. Thanks for the cache!
 
02-Nov-13
Picked this one up on an afternoon walk with the dog. Thanks
 
10-Oct-13
Found at 10:45 AM GAFF1. We were expecting a bit of an adventure as we drove into the scrub, but then our hearts sank as we saw all of the rubbish strewn around. A good spot for a cache ruined unfortunately by morons . So we donned on our gloves and started our search thinking that we were going to be here for a while, but with great co-ords the simple hide was spotted - with a sigh of relief let me tell you!
Thanks littlescotty34.
 
29-Aug-13
Replaced the temporary glass container with the proper container today.

Happy Caching.

Discovered with jfindit before a very successful and enjoyable Event at Hunter Valley Gardens. Found several caches before and after the event. Met and chatted with old and new faces.
Curious old bridge, wish I'd seen it in its day as there's not much left now.

Found in company with Doc-Who on the way to The Hunter Valley Gardens for the Caching amongst the Vines Event. Nice Cache, TFTC
 
25-Aug-13
Although the footy was on, there were no muggles in the vicinity of GZ, thus making the search much easier. After only having a look in a few areas, the cache soon revealed itself. TNLNSL TFTC

Another interesting spot around town. There was a rather freaky hanged Elmo near GZ. Glass jars aren't recommended as cache containers.
