Unfortunately, I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore as advised previously, the cache is being de-listed (Archived) to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

The [**Geocache Maintenance guideline**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains what needs to happen with a Disable cache.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article [**here**](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

If you wish to contact me please send an email via my profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

I notice from one or more log entries that this cache would seem to be in need of some help - **there appears to be a need for owner intervention.**

Therefore, the cache is being temporarily disabling so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) I cannot see any log that indicates a recent visit by the CO to this cache.

If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) by **27th September,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?

You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:

- Repair and/or Replace your cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.

- If you don't plan on fixing it up then please [**Archive it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.

- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (by 27th September). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will unfortunately have to de-list (Archive) the cache on the basis that it has been abandoned.

Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

Here with Bethungra Rover Crew but couldn’t find the cache. Think it looks like it has gone.

I note that it is almost one year since this was last logged. I have been here before and things have changed! There is a brand new shiny barbed wire and mesh fence, very high with sturdy padlocks, quite an area of cement and I venture to suggest the cache location has been cut off from old grannies at least. You'd need to be pretty nimble to scale this lot. Anyway, I stand to be corrected and will put it on the watch list.

Nice area. Thanks for placing. Tftc

This cache is very wet. The container is not waterproof

Very wet. Unable to sign, photo attached. TFTC

Great camping spot. Love it here

**Mission Bethungra**

Having some time off work and being around the area I decided to collect up the area between Junee and Cootamundra which happens to be the Bethungra area. I started after lunch and finished about 5:30pm.

A quick find. TFTC. This is what I don't like about Geocaching, when caches are damaged/missing and haven't been replaced yet. It was a nice spot though which made me happier.

P.s. Log was socked so I took a picture of it instead.

Out for a few hours of caching with The Doggles. After doing the cache up the hill, we wandered down and found the one at the botton. Unfortunately it is broken and it was full of water. Tried to dry it up with tissues but it very definitely needs a replacement. Lovely spot and we had a chat to some fishermen on the way back to the car.
Thank you dade5 for placing this cache

Found the cache easily enough but probably not where it had originally been put. It really needs replacing with a more weatherproof container. At least we got our initials on the paper to prove we'd been there but it was quite sub-standard. Pity, because it is a great spot and enables one to read the necessary warning notices nearby re the dam. Thanks anyway.

Had heard this was a good spot, so went for a drive to explore. Couldn't find the cache until we found something some others had signed lying in the grass on the ground. Plan to be back soon, so might replace it then if we remember and the owner hasn't fixed it by then.

Found at 11:21:00 AM

Bashed straight down the hill. Cache was actually dry and signable, but I think someone left a scrap of new paper in there.

Thanks dade5

Top spot and a few on canoes today .
Thanks for the cache invite.

Desperately needs attention from the CO. The log is just mush and the container is broken..

Plans were made with one of the FurfacesLL ladies to do a country drive through some towns in a big loop and clean out a few areas. Main targets of the day were Cootamundra and Junee

We had plans to leave at a certain time, however, I foiled those plans when I woke up late, however we still left at a reasonable hour [:p]

After slogging it UP the hill, we ventured our way DOWN the slope towards this one. Weaving in and out of the blackberry bushes towards the cache, it didn't take us too long. However, the cache needs attention from the CO, the container is broken and the log is SATURATED. We managed to get the pen to leave our mark however the log sheet is literally just mush.

Thanks for the cache placement dade5

The day had come to head out on another geomissin with Rapidlywild, weather was awesome so what better way to spend a Saturday then go caching out in the country side.

Nice easy approach to this one from the other cache close by... Straight down. Found the cache at GZ but was unable to sign due to it being mush but tried the best we could. Took a photo also that I will attach.

TFTC dade and taking us somewhere off the beaten track.

Doing a quick trip to pick up lone caches between Junee and Wallendbeen. Almost stepped on a good size brown snake while heading down the hill to this one. Also, cache is in very bad condition. Unable to sign log so took a photo of it instead.

Urgently needs maintenance. It would be apity to lose this one

Found it, certainly needs maintenance, unable to sign the log. Great history about the dam.

Note pad is very wet and the box is broken

Found it

A very wet log due to broken cache casing

Found with Pacmania. Thanks

Found the foot track into this one and finally spotted the cache (should have read the hint!). Container is broken in half, but it still hangs together. A nice relaxing spot.

Thanks

No troubles here though the cache was a bit sun damaged.

Thanks for anther dade5, good stuff.

9255 + 1043 = 10298. Found during a run through the Temora, Junee and Cootamundra regions with ZZ7.

After Junee we headed up towards Cootamundra. Stopping in Bethungra we drove out to the Dam. I'm sure I DNF'd a cache up this way before many years ago. Today we parked within 100 odd metres and walked along the path to the wall and GZ. Quick find - lovely views ! Signed, returned, and were off back to the car and the next cache.

Thanks again dade5 ! The cache container needs some TLC.

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

3769. Found with Relish64 and the geohound on our road trip from Canberra to Narrandera. A nice walk down from the heights and the cache was easily located.
TFTC.

It's been a long time since I've visited this spot. Look out for the sharp thistles and blackberry bushes... ouch!!!

Another find - TFTC
With Darzee Di and ynnbub

Went out with my sisters ynnbub and geoglors to grab the caches we hadn't got in the area when visiting cootamundra haven't been to the dam since I was little. Tftc

Today we travelled from Yass to Wagga Wagga using geocaching as a guide.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Wagga & The Rock December 2014. Sol de Lune suggested a trip west to get caches we both had not done concentrating on some of the Wagga Multi's that have evaded us over the years. We had a successful trip culminating with the event at The Rock. Thanks to all the locals who helped us when we cried for help. It seems there is monitoring going on here as we was a light flash at us and panels over the other side of the lake. Thanks.

Found with Albida on a 2 day trip while heading towards Wagga and The Rock....

Managed to get the car up to the end of the track and then hoofed it to GZ. Once there the cache was an easy find. The log was signed and all was fine......didn't notice anything amiss with the container.

Interesting spot and yep, even though it was hot, we took note of the sign!!

Thanks dade5.......

Replaced container

That was better, all down hill. Container needs replacing.

found on a warm winters day. great location. Thanks from team denmar

[:(!] Went for a weekend caching run to do the ES Series (Endangered Species Power Trail), after spending the night at Burrinjuck Waters State Park (I recommend it), I was once again on me way back to my abode and picking up a few caches along the way and this was one of them, parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was located and it was in hand in a matter of minutes, once the fog had lifted, the sun was out and it was a marvelous day for caching after experiencing the previous day of miserable weather.

I love it

Found with Tassiegirl13 while down on holidays from Queensland.
We'd camped here last night so what better way to start the day off than with a little walk around the area picking up a cache or two.
Great spot that we would definately come back to again.
It was a little wet by the time we made it to here.
Thankfully it was a quick find so we could head back to the warmth and dry of the car.

Another great view

Walk down the hill from Bethangra heights to bag a second cache TFTC.

3174. Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1120. Moved the cachevehicle down beside the water's edge and had a great stroll towards the wall. Lots of birdlife here this morning and we spent some time on the way back observing them. Our first time to walk the track here and enjoyed the wander. SL Tnx dade5

Nice hide and great walk along the water with my sweetheart Mufftop101
Very ingenious hide

Not many muggles around here today, and a nice camping spot as well. TN LN SL.
Thanks for the cache dade5,

Found at 10:34:00 AM, a short detour on the way to Cowra. Found this one on the ground so placed it where the hint says it should be.

Thanks dade5
