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.

Cool

A bit wet out after first rain in ages. With a series of DNFs as last logs the search was brief but thorough with no luck.
 
06-May-19
Looked and looked and looked but still no luck.
 
19-Apr-19
We did some searching at GZ, trying to match the contents of the hint, but nothing found.
 
16-Apr-19
Having a bad day - another DNF here. Both our GPSrs took us to the same general area, but we were unable to find the cache. Checked the hint, but it didn't help. Our thanks anyway to Sneaky Gopher.

Found after a while
 
13-Mar-19
I had a quick day trip to Orange for dinner with my daughter (& got to town early to drop the car off for new tyres at Tyrepower). With some free time, I wandered over for a quick grab of this one. Except I made some assumptions about where it would be, so it wasn't such a quick find after all Good hide, TFTC!
 
10-Mar-19
Stopped for a lovely lunch in the shade of the station. Bit of a hunt and then cache in hand. Sweet! Thanks for the cache

A crisp morning drive out to orange for an afternoon event soon turned into a hot day. On the hunt with Minniek, Fitzy_1965, mynamesjeff and deathkiller.
 
10-Mar-19
17,680. Found with minniek and Nibletricecakes during a run up to Orange today.

With an event on offer up in Orange today we used that as an excuse for a day trip caching along the way. Next stop for the day. Stopped nearby (at the station actually) for our lunch. I remember finding the original cache here years ago with Sol de Lune - we both have fond memories of this type of place as we grew up with a similar set up in our backyard - no kidding. After lunch I wandered over for the cache. Quick find at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache, and headed off to the next one.

Thanks Sneaky Gopher !! Fav Point for the memories.

Took Pathtag - TFTC !!

Nibletricecakes mentioned that she was thinking about heading to Orange for an event today. So with no other plans, fitzy_1965 and I decided to join her. We got two of my geo-kids, death_killer & my_name_jeff_1, up rather early to meet nibletricecakes in Yass.

We all piled into one car and headed off for the day. All piled out here for lunch at the train station. The kids were fascinated by the whole set up here. Fitzy grew up with model trains in his backyard so was able to give some insight into how it all worked. Then fitzy wandered over for a quick find before nibletricecakes arrived to help him.

Out ‘n about with m4yb getting a few caches.
On my adventure returning to the Midwest district after a 50 year absence. Yay first one in Orange, probably walked through here many years ago certainly well before the mini trains. Did find a “fit kit” closeish to GZ, I CITOed it.

Thanks for the hide and sneaky gopher

13-Nov-18
Spending a couple of hours here while my lovely partner attends a meeting. A short stroll to GZ from the Main Street soon had cache in hand. Cache was exposed so I added some natural camo to make it less obvious. TFTC, Sneaky Gopher

Arrived GZ and started searching despite GPSs not settling. Widened search area but to no avail. Due to limited time, had to try for another cache.
 
01-Jul-17
Came to Orange on a heritage train with Coybear2000. We had a little time to go for some caches.
We'd had lunch and so decided to go for this one. Arrived close to GZ, but GPSs wouldn't settle. We searched around a bit and became aware of some muggles watching us. We found what looked like a sharps container, and as we were short on time we decided to move on.

29-Sep-16
Do Syringe cases count as geocaches?
 
27-Sep-16
Found it!
 
20-Sep-16
TFTC easy find
 
10-Sep-16
16:23 Found it, but not before I found two sets of underwear and syringe boxes first, one of which was open. No actual syringes were spotted on the ground in the open, but do be very careful.

This is not a terrain 1 cache in the rain; wheelchairs would have difficulty with the waterlogged grass.

For the safety of future cachers, I suggest adding the following to the clues:
magnetic
no need to get branches in your face
