I had a decent search knowing that the coordinates are out but could find nothing.
I adopted this cache a while ago when the owner left town but it appears as time has passed that the cache has suffered from a severe case of cache creep as well as the area it is in is getting more built up. I have decided to put it to rest wherever it is (even I can't find it now) and leave the area available for a new one.
We parked off the road and walked up to GZ then had a fairly thorough search around there, but became less keen after learning the cache was off coordinates and the dogs started barking.
Nice quick find for us today, just as sun is setting and its getting a bit cold TFTC
Easy find with Eloicius 21/08/2020. Lovely flowers in the area around the cache (:
A single DNF won’t deter me and I was passing close by but a dumb hint makes me think the hider is being obtuse. Better to have no hint than a useless one. Didn’t matter as with no clue as to the type of hide or container, I read a few logs and did a sweep up to 20m from the coords. Nada Just a chorus of bored dogs.
Couldn’t find it
Looked around for a while but no luck
I think it need to be checked maybe due to the weather might have moved or been covered too much

Coords out. Out for a day off cycle touring for a few caches around Dubbo without the full load.
well after 2 attemps and a phone a friend was unable to find but there is one place now i look back on that I could have looked more thoughly , not sure whats happening with this cache as its been moved all over the park , maybe need to consider the container and put it in a good hide once , but will be back for the challange another day
Found after widening the search area.Cache was 15 to 20 meters away from gps GZ Hiot day. Must have ROCKS in my head for playing this game.TFTC
After raising some questions about stopping for caches yesterday, Pa had obviously changed his mind by this morning. We filled up with fuel and made our way down here for a very quick grab

On our way to the Mega. A lot of new development out here taking away the view. Cache found and log signed. TFTC
Found by Mary and David at 1515. Dogs were very loud when we passed by on our way to GZ. We won't make that mistake again when we return to the GeoPrado. How lovely to see green grass after dry Melbourne. A nice quick find. Our thanks to Scratches.
Found very easily. Replaced it covered by more camouflage. I also met the dogs mentioned by a previous finder. They "told" me in no uncertain terms that they counted the pathway as part of their turf, and I did not have their permission to be there! TNLN TFTC
Found today whilst the thunder and lightening do their thing please let it pot rain to help put a stop to this terrible drought,
Thanks for the cache log signed

A fun drive with the family and grabbing a few caches along the way.
A quick find. Sadly our presence set off a few local dogs. TFTC

Day 2 of our road trip from Toowoomba to Canberra saw us landing in Dubbo late in the afternoon yesterday with no time for caching. Up early this morning so we could squeeze a couple of Dubbo caches in before continuing our journey. I got the heads up from another Toowoomba cacher that this one was here and since I was so close I wasn't going to go passed it. A nice easy find here in the chilly morning. So great to be able to find one of your caches and return the log after you have found quiet a few Toowoomba caches over the last couple of weeks Scratches. TFTC
Found 8 June 2018 16:50 with the young geo son in tow after grabbing a hot coffee on a miserable winters afternoon we decided to grab a few caches. This one was the last for the day and found fairly quickly although did set off the nearby dogs. Thanks Scratches
TFTC. We are camped at Eumungerie and being Mothers Day we decided to drive into Dubbo and let caching be a bit of a guide. Quick find although I seem to have disturbed a couple of local dogs that started yapping just as I found the hide.
Travelling in and around Dubbo to see how many we can find in a couple of days.
We may sign small log sheets as CG.
Thanks for the cache Scratches.

Think I had a dyslexic episode here as I took us past GZ to an area that just wasn't adding up.
Mr Beetle insisted that the van GPS that led us here initially indicated it was much closer to the road and as we walked back we found it quickly!!!
Another alarm dog near this one letting everyone know there was a cacher in the area.
Thanks.

Continuing to travel north to Darwin via Port Douglas and grabbing caches along the way. TFTC.
Wheels Out is up for adoption. This was one of my first cache i hid in the area Perhaps my favorite of all the small caches I have ever hidden.
It would be a shame for me to archive it since it is so quiet and such a lovely spot to visit.
If you interested contact me at [email protected] otherwise it will be retrieved over the school holidays.
Kind regards,
TeamBarnaby
Whilst doing a bush bash with the Forensic Police Services, raising money for the Flying Doctor Service for 2 weeks, found some at Hervey Bay. Then went on to Cania Gorge. And back to Dubbo. This one was not well hidden (easily seen from path), so slightly moved. TFTC.
Back today to collect our frisbee from the neighbours yard and while I let the dear geowife collect that I headed back to the gz and made a quick find...only a few metres from where I searched yesterday. The cache was quickly located and logged and even managed to find a path tag for my troubles, Thanks Scratches for the cache.
One of several dnf's this afternoon, with two boisterous boys throwing a frisbee around and into the neighbours yard I just could't concentrate to locate this one, probably there, just didn't find it. (or the frisbee!)
**# 14750** Found on our extended 2016 winter escape trek.
A cool cloudy spring day for a drive around in Dubbo again.
Not many muggles around here today.
Thanks for the cache TeamBarnaby,

TFTC after a week of state nationals for indoor cricket for South Australia and almost made finals but next year hopefully thanks for an amazing Cach
This cache was quite a quick and easy find and it was spotted easily. It was then retrieved and our name was added to the log before everything was returned to the container which was then put back where it had been found. Thank you TeamBarnaby for putting this cache out for all cachers to have the fun of finding.
Today we cached in the Dubbo area, with us was team Tracystone & an 85 year old muggle Grandmother.
Today we toured the countryside ending up along the riverbank back in town.
We had found a different version of this cache previously so we knew where to look for this one.

No muggles makes for easy cache finding. Once wee were near GZ there was only one place it could be. SL TFTC

Today was another nice day for 'caching on our visit to Dubbo.. We started off at a random cache and then navigated by using the "next closest" method to end up logging 13 caches (and DNFing 4).
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

Funny name for a cache ??
Or is this the area that inbound flights lower the landing gear on the down wind leg of the circuit ??
Whatever the reason, I had a short stroll around the retention dam to GZ.
A nice easy find with no muggles nearby today [^]

If you want to remove a cache from play for maintenance you only need to disable it, not archive it!
Nicely placed container - just out of sight of the muggles. There seemed to be some expensive houses around here, but they did not get any water for their lake. Thanks for showing us a part of Dubbo we would never have explored and thanks for your cache.
Thanks Team Barnaby for adding to our tour of Dubbo. Your cache was nicely placed out of sight of the houses. It that big hole a dry dam or a future lake? We will probably never know. TFTC
Saw it from the path so probably a bit exposed. Signed log and hid a bit better in same location. Tftc.
