No response from the owner within the last 28 Days and as per the original note this cache has been archived. If you wish to replace it please submit a new cache via [this link](https://www.geocaching.com/play/hide).

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

No luck here today. I think the structure to which this one was attached has been upended and is now dumped to the side. The GZ is just a big pile of dirt. Sorry I don’t have a replacement on hand. Needs fixing somehow or archiving.

Not today..is it under that big pile of dirt?

Major changes at GZ. This one needs work at the very least. See photos.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Together with my son I embarked on a six day road trip from Sydney via Bathurst, Parkes and Dubbo to Bourke and back to Sydney via Mudgee. In total we clocked over 1,700 kilometers and along the way we stopped almost 90 times for grabbing a roadside cache.

We finally arrived in Bourke and would stay for two days. So after locating our B&B, the next items was to go to the Back O'Bourke visitor center. Here we received great tips to spend the next day in this beautiful area, including a cruise on the Darling river, Poetry On a Plate at Kidman camp and a stockman show.
After the visit we walked over to the cache which was quickly found.

On a road trip to Darwin with muggle mate we stopped at info centre and I took opportunity to grab this one. With two options available at GZ, I missed it on the first attempt. Then I spotted it in it's well hidden spot. I always have trouble getting these logs back in place and this was no exception. Nice place to stop. TFTC

Weather has suddenly become cold. Eventually found it after looking at several possibilities

TFTC . Didn’t have a pen .

I spent the day seeking out the caches around Bourke before making my way north to the Charleville area. This was a good little series that gave me a bit of an appreciation of dome of the area’s features and history. Thanks Bourkebornandbred for the cache.

16 people tried, no luck.

We are now on the way soiuth back to Tasmania and stopped in Bourke for a few days and this was one of the caches we found in the area. Thanks for the tour of the area via your caches. TFTC

Today we explored Bourke and surrounds and picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them.

An easy find at GZ.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

We will be staying in Bourke for a little while and hope to grab as many of the local caches as we can find while touring the area.

This was our first find for the day before heading in to the tourist centre.

Many thanks for the hide Bourkebornandbred[^]

Cache found and log signed after visiting the Info Centre. Many thanks for the cache.

TFTC great little spot

Came here on dusk. Abandoned the search after the dark and the mosquitoes got the better of us.

TFTC.

Grand Cache count = 301 total consisting of 284 Traditionals, 13 Multi and 4 Mystery

TFTC, a quick stop heading further into the outback

We left Quilpie this morning heading across to Yowah to catch up with friends for the night but we took the scenic route to pick up five caches and this was one of them.

We decided to get her early this morning but we didn't make it quite as early as we had hoped to and there was already a couple of people parked in the car park. Fortunately they were all inside the nearby establishment. We would like to say that this was a nice quick find but unfortunately we can't as we did struggled with it for awhile before eventually finding it in a place we both thought that we had looked before. We added our name to the log and returned it as we found it.

Thanks Bourkebornandbred for the cache.

On my way home south and staying at the Kidmans Camp for a couple of nights and went out caching for the afternoon
Will be coming out here to check this place out tomorrow
A quick find at GZ after locating one of my pet hates of caches types
Thanks Bourkebornandbred TFTC

Great hide! Just doing a few caches on the way through Bourke! Fav point from us! Thanks for placing! : )

Nice hide

We left Adelaide a week ago looking for the warmer weather, however we traveled in the rain for two days.
Stopped here and made a cursory look around but no cache.
Not good at getting my head below my heart.

Hi there Bourkebornandbred.

We found your cache **"Home #8"** at 10:01:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 17340).

We cached around Bourke today, & thoroughly enjoyed our tour around the town. We ended up finding a variety of container types and sizes hidden along the way. Today we found 15 caches (& DNF'd 4). Thank you for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**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:** Nothing.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Look hard. It's micro.

Nice area - more cool with trees.. thanks

Picked up this one after the outback new show. A great show it was too.

Found at 1142. A quick find after visiting the Information Centre. TFTC.

Had a good look but no luck.

Geokiddies again. Adults put to shame TFTC

Have replaced with a temporary micro for this kind of location

Attempted with the family during our trip to outback NSW.

Unfortunately like the previous finder, this one eluded us today.

Thanks Bourkebornandbred for the hunt.

When we were selecting caches to look for when we were in Bourke we added this one to our list as the CO had just checked it. We were very disappointed that we were not able to find it after a 30 minute search and some help from a staff member who was sure he knew where it was hidden. We hope we were all suffering from cache blindness and that the cache is still in place.
We will look for this next time we are in Bourke

Cache check. All good

What a better way to spend the day than caching with family The X-Trailers. A quick find. TFTC

Found after settling into cabin at Kidman park station
Highly recommend this park to stay at
Cache was an easy find with Earthlight

Found with Mum as 'Jess & Caro'. She is now Carø and I now have my own geocaching profile so we are sorting my logs for caches we found together. TFTC!

Found while getting a few maps...discovered they'd left the sprinklers on overnight too, haha. Cache container lid is damaged, cache was on the ground, but is dry. Signed log, TFTC.

Found it just laying in the ground. Cache is in rough shape.

Dnf. A bit wet. Chap in info centre said might have been moved.
Thanks Gemro

Found with help from the information centre. It is no longer magnetic
TFTC

No luck today - thanks anyway

TFTC looked by myself but on another visit was found by geowife

Cache maintenance all good

Nice easy cache

Searched unsuccessfully, and then I discover it is missing .

Will check asap

Searched for your cache Home #8 but couldn't find it today

Not sure if CO is responding to the needs maintenance logs?

Cannot find anywhere searched for over an hour will try again.

Second attempt to find it out here. Still not here thinks Bourke Born & Bred should come out and check.

No luck but we will be back! K, C & R

Had a really good look and can't find. Perhaps owner should disable until they can check if it's still there...

First DNF

Is it still here? Hmmm looked in al the obvious and obscure but still no luck!

We search all possibilities but anything we touched was super hot. Not for us today.

Plastic container

Nice hide. .... little fingers are good.

Found it

Bulk boars!!! Good find

Found it

A quick find and then we visited the nearby establishment. Something we don't usually have to do as we find geocaching takes us to all places of interest in an area. Found the staff here extremely friendly and had a nice chat about the area before continuing on our way. Thanks.
