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 you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 45 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

Cache does not appear to be here anymore. Checked a few areas in line with the hint and no joy.
Being the father of bubbgirl08 she wanted to add this to her finds, and since i have already found this cache i was very confident on it location, but could not seem to locate the cache, i would suggest the owner just visit the location to make sure it is still there and that i am not needing a visit to specsavers to get my eyes check lol
Had to wait ages as the local mums group played right near by. Finally access without looking weird. Nothing to be found. Tftc
We moved to Macquarie Woods today from Bathurst as it is such a lovely place to camp. We enjoyed our geocaching between here and Orange. So green now after the recent rain and we loved the scenery. This series was a little beauty. Thanks to Squick for hiding this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.
Not sure if you’re able to pull out the micro size piece of paper or not, but it’s my first micro cache. Yay!
A big day of caching between Orange and Wellington and back. Great weather, able to squeeze in a parkrun as well and caches were all found straight forward.

Apologies for the late logging and cut 'n' paste but now Mr & Mrs Castoff are back in the UK at the same time we're catching up on the Geocaching adventures. We took hundreds of photographs but were too busy looking at stunning scenery across NSW and New Zealand to make copious notes. Beautiful part of the world. Couldn't extract the log but photo available if required. TFTC.
It took a bit of a search but we got there in the end. Interesting history TFTC
Found but couldn't get paper out to sign. Will have to add tweezers to our caching arsenal!
I have replaced this cache a little higher up than it was but in the same location. They have recently build a children’s playground nearby and I am hoping the higher location will mean no little muggles find it. I hope it is not too high. Please replace in the same spot as that will keep it well hidden.
Out with RoddyC while house sitting in Bathurst.
Caching to day will take us to the Orange area.
DNF for us today.
TFTC, Squick.

Hatzofff and I are in Bathurst for a few weeks house sitting, and of course have time for lots of caching. Today we decided to visit Orange.
Mixed bag for us: salt a DNF.

Out of the 20 Series of this cashe, there are only 10 available. It is very underwhelming. 6.1km of walking for Mirco full logs, I felt this could of been better especially considering the deadly spiders & flying golf balls.
Nearly gave up. First micro one, thought it was rubbish until my daughter opened it.
No bananas for me today. Noting the other DNFs I suspect the cache is holidaying somewhere else.
I looked high. I looked very high / I waited for gaps on the traffic and felt even higher. It may be there (or I was looking on the wrong sign) but I couldn’t find it. TFTC anyway
Took about 15mins of persistent looking but finally found it with geo-son on shoulders - yes a tall friend would be helpful. Good fun & geo kid loved being the finder. TFTC
TFTC Miss 12 spotted this one while climbing on the fence after Mstr 8 kicked at it, which made it rattle.
Jack Brabham was the first racing car driving I remember as a kid. He was awesome. tftc
Hi there Squick.
We found your cache **"Gnoo Blas #1"** today. (This makes our find count 17896).
Today we headed out from Bathurst to attempt the "Gnoo Blas" racing circuit in Orange, plus any others we came across on our travels. We started at #1 and went anti-clockwise around the circuit, proceeding to log most of the caches before heading back to camp. In hindsight we thoroughly enjoyed today's cache finds, but were really disappointed that we had to produce so many "Needs Maintenance" logs.
Please excuse our cut-n-paste logs - we know it's not really a good excuse, but we find it really difficult to craft individual logs when we attempt so many similar caches in a day. [:(!]
We found 16 caches today & DNF'd 11. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found most caches within a few metres of where our GPS said we should be looking. [:(!] (We did have to look a little further afield for some though). [:(!]
**Cache Condition:** Most containers and log books were in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Nothing.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny

Found easily, however the log is damp and disintegrating and should be replaced.
I'm heading home to Canberra from Brisbane where I was visiting my Mum who has just had a hip replacement. She is 92, and going great guns, with walking much easier than when I last saw her. As a domestic slave, I am had an easy time - Mum didn't need much care which is great, so I did a little geocaching and walking with my GeoSchnauzers. I spent most of my time walking with Mum and ferrying her around. Had to give her needles for a couple of weeks too. Brought back memories of daily injections for my deceased wife, for her multiple sclerosis.
We're in Orange. We drove here yesterday throuh heavy rain for the final quarter of the trip. I have developed a cold, and am going to saty for two nights. Today I am bludging in my room, with a walk in the park late in the day after the sun comes out.
There are a few DNFs on this one, but I had no trouble.
Find no 3 of 5 today.
Thanks, Squick

It was getting late this afternoon but I really wanted to cache on. Mr GT was getting annoyed so I thought, he would love to see the old race track. Salute his interest only lasted a minute upon arriving at the first ood this series. I only got to find the first 2 before he made it clear it was time to go home. 
I will be back to complete the course eventually.

A glorious day to be out and about in Darkness' home town.
Purple loved the area and learnt a bit about the race track as we travelled around. But boy oh boy there were some really tough weeds to contend with - ones that made you go oooo.
This was a sneaky hide but we found it.

I had mixed success around this circuit today, but still enjoyed the experience and the exercise!

Bathurst to Orange
We have set up camp at the showground overnight. We completed the lake walk in the morning then onto the Gnoo Blast in the afternoon, finishing with a tiki tour of the country side before heading home.
A great location to place a series, read lots of the information boards . Favourite point given for the series.

11201. Headed up to the Orange region with AngelG27, Sol de Lune and specimenX ("FASS") for a fun-filled weekend of caching. Lots of caches found, a few not found, and a lot of laughs had as we toured around over 2 full days as far north as Wellington which resulted in 124 finds for me.
An early start and after a quick stop for brekkie we arrived at the GB loop to get some big-ish numbers early on today. Interesting bit of motoring history around here. Quick find at GZ which is always good on a caching run like today. Log signed, cache returned, and we were off to the next one.
Thanks again Squick !!

Found as part of an Orange and surrounds geomission with fitzy_1965, AngelG27 & Sol de Lune (signed as FASS to save time & space 
) Top weather, great company and lots of laughs meant for an epic weekend of caching all round! 
Moving right along on our loop of the area and it was another quick find for us [^]
Thanks for the hide, Squick
