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 28 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

Not there please replace cache

When a cache is said to be down and under but it's not down and under the obvious thing you keep circling outward looking under other things, right? But for how long? An ex-Scout disappointed not to get my hands on this cache, then realising several other DNFs came before me, maybe it really is gone? I didn't have badges with me to swap and would've had to return for that purpose anyway. Perhaps some other day I will be luckier.

DNF for us too. Geo Kid’s woke every creepy crawly in a 50m radius looking for it.

Looked for a while until the local school came out

Feeling a lot better (and a few kilos lighter) after a few days of feeling really "euwwwww". So I headed out a bit later in the day than I'd hoped for a few finds. Went for four (the last two as the light was dying) and found three.
Given how I've been lately I'll take that.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Started here and what seemed an easy search went around and around with no success. Spent far too long and the spot I deemed most likely had a lot of camo-like rocks but no container.

Finally gave it up as I had spent far too long here. Hopefully I just missed it.

Nice to find this one after having no luck in Lithgow this morning. TFTC.

Thanks for the geocache not in the obvious spot but the geo wife found it
Tin ton family

tftc, great to see people supporting youth organisations

Thanks for the cache.

As we commence our journey to the Red Centre event, I needed a find for today on my calendar, so spotted this one not far from the main road and decided to give it a go. Found the path easily enough and looked in all the wrong places until geoboyfriend came up with the goods. Thanks!

Found on a warm night after a very hot day, hoping for a cool change soon. Did not swap any patches but the ones in there were interesting and good to read. TFTC Mel_Adz

We headed out to see family today the long way and picking up caches along the way. we ended up doing about 26 caches for the day and enjoyed the variety and the hides, some straight forward and some more challenging. thanks for all the COs for the caches and the smileys we collected along the way.

Found with Nurreg TFTC

Found today with LovelyLadyLocks. Cant wait till our kids can do scouts! TFTC

A quick find. Tftc

A cache i found back in January. I have a Cub's TB "Mowgli's Adventute" that wants to visit cub/scout places so i drove by the 1st Blaxland Scout Group on my way up the mtns. Thnx

TFTC

Score yet another for the geowife whilst Geo hubby looks under every damn rock ledge in sight. Tftc

after a quiet weekend went for a drive this morning from home via Windsor to Penrith then onto Blaxland and Springwood and home via Winmalee and Richmond picking up 5 GC and 5 GA caches an the trip. Not working has its advantages.

Parked near the scout hall and made my way the short distance into the bush to make a quick find. Re-hiding after signing the log. tftc

Thanks for the find

Found while up here from liverpool on work

Nice spot to rest from slow traffic. Took travel bug XmasTagZ. TFTC

Nice easy cache. Dropped off a Flinders Ranges cloth badge and picked up a travel bug TFTC

Found it with snoopy1976

Streak Day #893 - Found with dave8153 for a quick find. TFTC

First stop on a mini roadtrip heading towards Bathurst. Gps took a while to settle (25m then 4m while standing still) but area pretty obvious to identify hide and grab easily.

Found on a 3-day road trip with MizMaz. TFTC

A quick and easy find. Log and cache in good condition. Tftc

Visited with phlphotos and dropped off a TB.

#378 found on a day out finding some caches in the Warrimoo area. got to this area but the GPSr took me to another spot and I was looking the cache in a different idea from the hint till I spotted the real meaning of the hint, signed the log and left a TB. Thanks for the cache

Nice hide.
Tftc

dropped off geocoin

# 162. With ADAcache and Karbonator

#14 and going strong!

Gz was a little off but an easy find none the less
No 12 for today

Started out at 7.30am, to grab a few caches on the way to an event in Katoomba.
Cache found quickly, and in good condition.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Mel_Adz, for us and others to find.

Ducked out in a break in the rain to find this one. I used to belong to this Scout Group some time ago. My name should be up on the board there somewhere. I loved my time in the scouts and it certainly contributed to my growing love for the bush. So it was fitting to find this for the 15th anniversary of geocaching.

Nice easy one to start the day
Sorry I didn't have any badges to swap

This took longer than needed as from the hint i assumed it was under the rocks which kept me focused on those areas for a while. A quick read of the logs and i spotted the cache soon after. Thanks very much.

Log.. Hint!

TFTC!

Found this awhile ago however geoscoutkid would like to come back and trade a badge. Great cache. Thanks

to
"Just popping out to get a hair cut (And grab a few caches on the way home!"

No better way to spend a lazy Friday

TFTC!

A good quick find. TFTC

Nice easy cache lots of badges

A quick and easy find. Did try to find some of my old badges I kept from many years ago, but could not find them in the short time I had before we left this morning.

We found swapping scarves was more fun, though a lot more expensive and usually a one swap deal til you got a new one.

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

A quick find, as the cache was in an obvious spot. Thanks.

been there done that

number 3 for today, an excellent cache, and a quick find almost walked straight past. TFTC

Nice cache TFTC

An early morning walk with a cache thrown in. A great way to start the day. TFTC

Nighthawk spotted this one right under our noses, good hide.

Great one. Lol. Looked for a few minutes. Then found it. Right under my nose.

Great one

Right under your nose

A nice easy find. TFTC

Fun find, there are some awesome badges in there, dropped off a girl guide badge. Yes a GIRL GUIDE has been here. [:o]

Great idea for a swap. We were up at Blaxland for a bbq and went looking for it as a spur of the moment thing so couldn't leave or take anything....Tftc

Quick find on a sunny Good Friday - found by three girl guides from Mt Riverview Guides.
TFTC

Nice and quick one. TFTC!

Quick find on my way down the mountain. TFTC

A nice easy find after venturing into the nearby valleys.

Sorry for the late log. Did this one with the Rats while we headed out west.
Dad brought me past here as he was sure he'd already done it. Appears he didn't log his last visit

Thanks

Heading out west this afternoon we decided to grab a few new caches along the way.
Driving past here today I wondered why there was a closed chest on my gps. Stopping nearby I went straight tot he cache I found my name on the log. It appeared I hadnt logged my find from the 12.2.14
Anywat today the rats and the mini rats added our name to log again, oh and logged it this time.

Thanks

Nice easy find, no badges to swap though! Tftc

Didn't take long to spot this one, nice little hide. TFTC.

Nice easy find. TFTC.

This one was my closest to home cache for a month. Thought it was time to go and find it. TFTC.

Out for a run fixing some things on my car and the geodad and I stopped to find this one quickly. Just the sort of caches I like especially while I'm rehabilitating my knee.

TFTC

Our 100th cache

Great hide. Walked past it a few times without noticing it. LOL! TFTC

the app wasn't navigating to the right spot but found on the walk back to the car. Will bring my scout boys back here

The app did NOT update, but using people's hints we managed to find it!
Took a photo of GZ for anyone in my predicament. TFTC
