Good Day,
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 a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.
Looking forward to hearing from you,

**# 21498** Found on our 2018 mega adventure to ACT, NSW, QLD and beyond.
A sunny Winter day for a trip around while on a stopover at Miles.
Not many muggles around today and a few more good safe hides.
Thanks for the cache chook1968,

We were rather sad when we found this cache as it is in really poor condition. The lid is broken and the log inside is really just wet mush, even with it being in a plastic bag. We made a bit of an indentation in the mush to mark our visit. All was then replaced, but we hope the CO is able to do some maintenance on it as soon as possible. Thanks chook1968 for this cache.
This cache is about 2-3 m away from where it tells you to go, hint is still accurate however cache needs some serious loving.
(Very smelly)
We could not write in log book as it was all saturated despite being in a plastic bag and sadly we didn’t have any supplies to amend this...
The take away container this cache is in has cracks in it and needs replacing. Still fun to find and will check back another day to see if it’s been shown some love and able to be signed!

Found it. Well hidden. Nice Spot. Cache lid is cracked and all contents very wet and smelly. Put contents into sealable plastic bag to try keep dry, but as it's already wet, probably too late. Took trackable.
Was an enjoyable introduction to Geocaching but there was no cache to be found. Was either too well hidden or we suspect been removed by someone.
Have replaced the container of this cache as original was cracked and notebook has been water damaged .
Out and about in the camper van heading west geocaching.
I camped over night at Chinchilla weir.
The van got parked just of the road and I walked in.
A quick find once at GZ. [^] Like the previous finder has mentioned the lid of the take away container is cracked.
Thanks for the cache.

A pleasant walk along the cycle path. Saw a tree withseveral Ibis', Spoonbills and Egrets. The container had a cracked lid, but contents were dry. TFTC
We scratched our heads about the name having come from the Miles direction. Found the cache and then drove on to Gil Weir and realised why the title. Tftc

Heading north for the Alice Springs Event at Easter we explored this area using geocaching as a guide and picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them. An easy find.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Replaced container and put new pen in it.
Please be careful when covering back over so you don't break the container again.
Easy find!

Live in Miles, going to bring another container and pen down as the container is broken and pen doesn't work.
It was far too hot for any walking, so we drove the geo-mobile up to GZ. After a bit of searching, we found the cache out in the open, with the lid cracked and the log and other content completely soaked.
We may suggest to replace the container with a more sturdy one, and also replaced the log.

Travelling home so dropped in & walked to China. An appropriate container which withstood a recent down pour by the looks of all the water. Thanks.
Found as we travelled through Miles. Doubt this cache will be here. Much longer. Looks like council may be cleaning up the area.
Found with geohubby! Love visiting miles and catching up with my granny. TFTF
ran this track yesterday for the fun run. Beef, bell and bottle trees festival.

Found on tour of the area. Container completely destroyed. Swag all over the ground. Log book in the open. Put everything back as best I could and replaced nearby according to the hint, but CO will need to go and fix it up properly. Didn't have a replacement with me or I would've fixed it up. TFTC
Passed through on my way from Brisbane to Roma, was a good little walk to break up the driving TFTC!

Easy find while staying at the showground waiting for the Graham Roger concert.
I must need a dedicated gps. My phone had me searching under every rock to find it
No problem with this one and always nice to see a muggle make a note and return the cache to its hidey hole. Thanks chook1968.
The car's GPSr took us to a spot closer to the cache than the path's beginning at the lagoon, so it wasn't initial we headed down there after finding the cache that the name made sense. Found quickly and easily and in good and very bouncy condition, to see it had been last found by a muggle , who's signed and replaced it. Yay muggle! Back into town to the Driver Reviver for lunch, a cuppa and a comfort stop before heading off towards Roma. TFTC, chook1968. =^.^=

I was in Miles today for work. I had a spare 30 minutes so headed out to do some cache hunting. It was the middle of the day and very hot (Especially in my work cobba). Anyway as I got to GZ the worn track lead me straight to it. Found my first Pathtag as well .
Cache in good condition.

We were parked up at nearby Gil Weir and drove out to find a few local caches. This is a great place to take a walk. A few water lilies were out and so were some other walkers today. TFTC
Day one of my 2015 country caching trip of 7 days length usually and between 2500 and 3000 klm's. Arrived here via the bell at Condamine. Followed arrow on my GPSr and it took me to a very short walk to a concrete path and an even shorter walk to GZ. took one look at the rocks and made a choice and there was the container. No one about. TNLNSL TFTC chook1968

Went for an early morning walk after staying in town overnight.
