The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. 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 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 listing and post a new note every 28 days 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.

Got the Checksum here OK.
Not able to locate the cache.
CO may need to check on this one seeing there are a few previous DNF's as well.

Searched the area, but sadly a DNF for us here today. [8)] Hopefully we were just cache blind again.Surprised

We counted and had some difficulty but with the checksum we think we now have th right answers.

Sadly we ended up with a massive GZ and we had no luck.

Thanks anyway dbrown64

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.
Well what I could count wrong here I did. After awhile I had a set of numbers that worked with the check. The sprinklers threw me at first. TFTC dbrown64

Found with Tassiegirl13 while here on holidays.
We'd camped just outside of town on the highway and had decided to spend the day sightseeing around town via way of caching.
We'd arrived and discovered that the Coal & Country festival was on tonight. Nice timing or was it? We thought with everything being set up we may not be able to complete the cache. It was still early in the day so we thought we'd have a go anyway and see how things ended up.
The sprinklers were a little hard to count with so many tents and stalls around but we must have counted the right number.
Once we worked out were GZ was we wandered over and thankfully no one had started to set up there yet.
We stealthfully went about looking and came up with the container rather quickly. A quick sign of the log and we had it back before anyone had noticed we were even there.
We'll do a few more caches today but we're coming back tonight for the festival.

Such an interesting location to have a look at. We must've looked a bit odd because the local policeman drove by and stopped to ask if we were lost. We told him we were simply interstate visitors having a bit of a look around and he was happy with that. TFTC

[Blue]# 12304[/Blue] Found on our 2015 Winter escape trip to Qld.
Another perfect winter day for a drive to Moura for a few FTF's.
I got all the numbers OK & wandered off to GZ for a quick find, thankfully. Wink

Well, I got it right and my name is now on the log. Thanks to Camo75 for keeping it going. TFTC

Well I cannot say I did not find it. I did not get a chance. I rushed to the GZ after work, just as the sun was going down. I worked out all the numbers from the clues after doing the counts. Then a mental block which was Longitude and which was Latitude?
Well after scratching the head for a while, I decided to stop searching as by then it was getting dark.
When I return I will have it worked out and new coords on my GPS and hopefully have my name on the log.

After looking 4-5 times and talking to two geocachers for where they found it and tried contacting CO I believe that this was unfortunately muggled.
I have replaced it with a magnetized eclipse tin in order to keep the game alive.

If the original cache is found to be alive please remove this post and the new cache.

Great puzzle, took a little while to work it out. Thought it might have been juggled, but after a second search we quickly found it. Tftc.

With the checksum satisfied we reckoned we were on a winner but four sets of eyes drew a blank.
Thanks dbrown64

We were passing through town, but there is always time to find a geocache or 2.
Being the Long Weekend the town was very quiet, so the search was an easy one.
This would have to be the cache of our morning, a nice easy puzzle & a clever hide to finish.
Worth a favourite point. Its an interesting sporting location
Thanks for placing this cache dbrown64
