Good Day,

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Travelling around Australia and now super excited to be finally starting our trek to the Easter Geocaching Event at Alice Springs. Big Grin

Visiting Moura and staying at the Dawson River. Interesting coal history in this town. Thanks for allowing Geocaching to be our tour guide today.

Wow they are big dump trucks, and the water truck seemed even bigger. Never mind the Btriples that are on this road moving dirt out to the highway roadworks. Phew it sure was busy here today.

Having worked in a mining industry for many years in my younger days I enjoyed watching the trucks here at work. So much bigger than the ones I recall too. These ones seemed to be twice the size of the ones I worked on. We watched for some time then moved on to find the cache. All good here.

Waved to the lady truck driver who past a few times while we hung out.

A day of Caching with MUM looking for an earth cache.
Started with a wrong turn(maybe a new cache now) and ended with a FTF, a couple of DNF along the way and a lots of finds.
We had a fun day, first of its kind in a long while.

Day six of my 2015 mammoth caching holiday. left Nanango at 4am on Monday 77th September via Condamine, Roma, Augathella, Longreachh, Barcaldine, Emerald, Rokhampton and now overnighting in Moura. So far I have driven just over 2000klm and todays trip was small at 287Klm. Found 22 today including this one and a few bush walks and a few multi's as well.

Arrived here at 5pm. Walked up to the top and read the boards then walked own to ground level and had a very quick find. All OK with this one. TTFTC dbrownn64

#916 as we work in mine regulation in Victoria we couldn't resist the small detour to this cache. Although probably not your usual spot to have brekky we fried up some bacon and eggs here. It's a very long mine! And there is some great info on the signs near gz. Fortunately Mrs BGf spotted and signed the cache before 3 car loads of muggles arrived. TFTC dbrown64.

2:48:00 PM. Thought we were on the wrong road to do this cache when suddenly the turn off appeared. Got to GZ just as some muggles were leaving. Made this find way to hard and in the end a good find by the better half. As we were signing the log a truck in the mine went past blowing his horn. I wonder if he knew what we were doing? Thanks dbrown64.
