Logs
As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.
So annoyed. Why does this keep disappearing. I will not give up this spot. Really thought it would be secure, fastened with stainless steel wire.
Back to the drawing board
Back to the drawing board
This cache has been replaced for the 3rd time. Hopefully it is a bit more securely attached. Have rewritten log as per what has been logged on geocaching.com.
I will attempt to replace within the next 2 weeks once I can figure out how to stop it getting muggled.
Seems as if it has disappeared,had a good look about!!!!But as Fnsaws (19/9/14) PLUS 4 OTHERS! NO LUCK>>>Thanks Mang 42

First searched on 19/9/14
Came back today (26/9/14) and no muggles around. Gave us plenty of time to do a thorough search of the area. We worked methodically from GZ out to approx 20meters and back again. We looked everywhere. No cache!! It's gone!!

4 of us looked for it with no joy. Did find what looks to be a retrieval wire but nothing attatched
It was replaced and we found it during the Tamworth Meet and greet. FIRST cache!!
What a great cache container, thanks Mang42, nice to meet you at the meet and greet.
TFTC Mang42Found latest regeneration of this cache during the Tamworth Meet and Greet. Thanks Mang42. Had some young helpers helping - telling me if was getting warmer!
Found at 12:02 PM GAFF5. So - wasn't this cache supposed to have been dropped over into the abyss?
Well today at the event we noticed some cachers heading off with tools in the direction of this cache so we thought - ah-ha maybe it is being replaced.
So after the event we went around and do you think we could spot it? We were thinking of a traditional sized bison tube, but when it was shown to us we just could not believe it - that size is a tonka size and what amased us was that we didn't see it
Thanks Mang42.
Feedback: The hint is as useful as a screen door in a submarine! We know it is at the rotunda because the GPS co-ords take you there. However what the hint is supposed to tell you is where in that rotunda is the cache.

Well better luck today, I just happened to be at the location at the time that Mang42 was replacing the Cache which had been Muggeled as I mentioned in my DNF of last week. Thank you Mang42 for making it possible for many of the "Meet and Greet" group visitors to sign off on this one today, and nice to be able to meet you.
Now I did four complete circut's of the Rotunder, and extended my hand into every crevice, I note that it was found on the 11th and 12th but also there was a DNF for the 23rd of July. It is possible that it has toppled of the ledge and fallen inside. Another log reports that it was located with torch light.
I hope to be back in Tamworth for the Caching meet next weekend, and if so I will bring a strong torch,
In the meantime take a look to confirm that it is still there.

Great hiding spot. I had looked here quickly a few times but it wasn't until I used the torch on my phone that I saw it easily in the shadows. TFTC
Great container! Bigger than expected. Nice to see a cache in this park again! TFTC.
Woah! So many hiding places! Top hide, as expected it wasn't the first place we looked. TFTC Mang42.

Another day 'caching in Tamworth, and we are starting to see more and more of the famous landmarks around town - thanks to Geocaching.
Wow, this bison tube is a little bigger than we expected.

Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Today we did a tour around Tamworth, we visited many parks, lookouts & the wonderful tributes to Country Music of which this town is so famous.
The caches we found were interesting & varied. The cachers of Tamworth should all be proud of their well maintained caches.
Thanks for placing this cache Mang42

Getting to the pointy end of the long drive from Murray Bridge to Brisbane. Haven't driven this way for a while so it is great to see so many new caches! Only had an hour to spare in Tamworth so I tried to make the most of it. Thank you for placing this cache.
TFTC. Good Friday with plenty of muggles in the park, however, no muggles near GZ.

Reperio at 1025.
After an enjoyable days caching around Tamworth yesterday, I got up this morning to tackle a few more before heading home to Newcastle. This was another beautiful park...Tamworth has so many of them. I arrived at GZ with some muggles in the distance, but they were far enough away not to draw any attention. With so many great little places to hide a cache, the coords were good that I spotted it in the second place I looked.
Gratias Mang42.

We had looked and looked and both hubby and myself had checked out the hide twice before hubby found the nicely positioned cache. The GPS said the co-ords were good. SL TFTC
While 'in town' for a couple of days I thought I would also try to find some caches. Soon found this one with MVMB. Wow! A second to Find! All good with the coordinates, but unable to leave a CSM.
