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.

Traveling home via Snowtown, Broken Hill, Cobar, Dubbo, Forbes, West Wyalong &Temora, finding a good variety of cache types and hides. I visited some interesting historical towns and bush locations, which made the round trip well worth the drive.

I did as much maintenance as I could, replacing damaged containers and full or wet logs.
Signed and replaced.

Many thanks for placing this cache, Bourkebornandbred, for us and others to find.

Thanks for your creativity

WOW. This was so very nearly a DNF. 20mins, I climbed the tree, I swung from the tree, I circled the tree. Then BOOM, right in front of my dumb face. Nice hide.

TFTC.

Took some time to find this one but got it in the end.TFTC
 
07-Jul-18
Found it. Nice and easy. TFTC
 
29-Jun-18
I have been here twice now, without success. The main reason is that muggle-mobiles are Constantly Driving Past! This mightn't be so bad when there are leaves on the tree, but it is winter, and this tree is deciduous, so there is nothing to hide me from muggle-view while I have a Really Good Look. Have decided to postpone this one until spring.

Just doing some back logging of caches we found before deciding on a team name this was found on the 26/5/2018 TFTC

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 arrived in Dubbo on the second day of our road trip and of course there were a few caches to be found in this nice town. After finding a parking spot next to the main road I walked a short distance to GZ where after a bit of searching the cache was found.

TFTC Bourkebornandbred.

We have managed to squeeze in a short break to do a bit of touring. The weather is lovely considering the time of year but we are still hoping for rain which is so obviously and desperately needed.

We were on our way to Sneakiest 7 when we realised we were driving past a cache. Loved the clever hide.
Thanks for placing this cache.

We are taking a few days for a trip around Dubbo to do a bit of caching. Many thanks to the cache owners who have made our trip so much fun.
We should have spotted this before we did and once seen it was no longer invisible. We enjoyed looking for this. TFTC

Day 3 of our journey to Alexandra. Left Nanango Qld on Monday and stayed overnight in Moree. Left Moree early on Tuesday and now it is Wednesday and we are staying in Dubbo till Friday.
Drove out here this morning and parked safely off the highway. Followed GPSr and soon had the horizontal lying container in hand. Took me less than 5 minutes to locate this one.
I use YOF on small, Nano and micro log sheets to save space on the paper.
TFTC Bourkebornandbred.

I've never been lucky enough to have this happen to me before Surprised A work trip, driving to and from Dubbo in NSW Cool
For OHS reasons we all know that fatigue kills and so it is vitally important to stop and take a break, have a stretch of the legs and another coffee or fluid intake session [^] Razz
Over the 3 days I made 14 Smile finds and a couple of those were an EC Cool and a Virtual Cool that I was ever so pleased to find Cool[^]
There were 5 DNFs Sad all up and the 1st DNF was at the very 1st cache stop, although as soon as I saw what the cache was Twisted I didn't have much of a look at all as I couldn't keep my colleague waiting! She was fantastic company for the whole trip and ever so generously patient when I needed to stretch my legs [:X]
We Googled why there are little green roofed cages on the side of the highway in NSW[?], we sang songs Smile, we walked righta round a disused gold mine where my 'not too long arrived from England' colleague saw her 1st Lace Monitor (Goanna) and we saw 'The Dish' too [^]Cool

It's now after midnight and I need some sleep so I'm making my way back to the hotel [)]
Saw this cache and just had to try and sure enough it was found reasonably easily, even in the dark [^]
Then again the hand held sun does come in handy! Razz

Hi there Bourkebornandbred.

This is the 2nd of 4 caches we didn't find today. Twisted[:(!]

We spent quite some time here at around 11:16:00 AM, but we just couldn't locate your cache. It's either not there, a very clever hide or we are just suffering from "cache blindness", so here's a DNF from us. Twisted

Regards
Ian and Penny

These micro sized containers are sometimes a bit more difficult to find especially when they blend well with their environment. However, this one soon came to light and a tool made retrieving the log a lot easier. After this had happened our name was added to the log and the all was replaced in the container again. Thank you Bourkebornandbred for drawing attention to another local feature.
