Greetings from Geocaching.com

I have been looking at caches in the area that have been temporarily disabled for a while now and it looks like your cache has been under the weather for some time. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time I don’t think we can do so any longer. Therefore, I have archived this cache. If you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

When repairs to this cache are completed and it is time to have it reposted, it will be no problem. Just drop me a note and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. You will still be able to access your cache page just as before by going to your My Cache Page and clicking the link of your cache.

I will be more than happy to take a look at your cache again to see if it is still is within the guidelines of the Geocaching.com website for cache placement and posting.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks,

Opps I did not realise that this cache had received so many no finds. I think its a total of 5. Sorry for being a bit slack. Spin doc bob has sent me an email with pictures of the location and a good description of where he looked and it sound like the cache is gone. Another cache to be geomuggled.
This is a fair drive out of town so I will have to plan a free weeknd to fix up the cache again. Keep posted for its return.
And once agin sorry to the people with the no find.

Me thinks it's a goner! I took a number of photos for 2 Leg Drive to pinpoint where it should be, but I think Gilbert's ghost has knicked it - typical bushranger. Sad

After a visit to Nigeru in Cowra and heading towards Yass we thought we would make a detour to have a look for this cache again without paperwork, unfortunatley with no mobile reception near the cache we were unable to make a call to see what we needed to find out.
We will be back.

A pretty little town and an interesting sequel to my Bail Up cache. Thanks.
The cache was quite exposed when I found it and there was a note in the log (14th April) from some people who found it while looking for their sheep! (Silly people - it doesn't look anything like a sheep!!!) They wished us well and apologised for moving the cache. As it was spot on GZ for me I left it right where it was, just covered it a bit better after adding a crab measurer to the contents (Just in case it gets found by someone checking for crabs).

Binalong time since anything exciting has happened around here, me thinks! Stopped at the first point and recieved some strange looks from the old folks in town. I dont think they get many visitors. Cache was right on the spot. Cool

Gave Stimpy (Ren must have morphed) a lift and left a set of foam earplugs.

Thanks for the diversion.

Found by Mary & David at 1440. A nice diversion on our way to Canberra despite the 40 degree heat. Thoroughly enjoyed the history lesson and the final location, not to mention the Tangles connection. The caution about the road was well deserved. Found the cache after a short search, took a toy 4 x 4 and left a candle. Thanks to ACT2LD.

No 3 for the day found it at about 4.15pm. Walked over it 3 times. great piece of history and it ties with the Bail Up cache. We took a flouro pen and left Ren from Ren and Stimpy fame. Just beware it is a very busy road

Nice to see my great great grandfather on my mothers side gets a mention. So with keeping with the family tradition we held up the cache. As the cache had no gold we adducted an alien and left a rugged 4x4 before escaping into the hills.

Found 15:35, after a pleasant stop for a quick local history lesson, and then on to the final cache site.

Abducted cow and left alien.

Hello,

Well, this was my first ever find. I've been checking out this site for ages, and been meaning to go hunting for quite some time. But working 60 hours a week as a Surveyor, for a company that specialises in high-precision GPS projects, then you can probably understand why I haven't... until now...

I've been working in the office for the last three weeks designing sewers for a new subdivision (its a crappy job, but someone has to do it), and at about 11:30am I decided to see what caches were in the area. Imagine my luck when I found one just 20 minutes down the road with a Travel Bug (Pesky) in it!!!! I immediately grabbed a handheld, my office manager Bianca who always complains that I never take her on any jobs (she means the ones where I go to Brisbane), and raided the charity lolly display on the front counter.

Had no probs with the calcs and arrived at the final location no dramas. Bianca found the container after a little bit of searching (and kicking and screaming). But unfortunately Pesky had dissapeared 6 days earlier via some dude on his way up from Melbourne - so he misses out on a trip to Adelaide next week. Oh well. Swapped the South Park pen and some animals for some consumable items (yeah, I know you shouldn't put food in 'em but it was all I could grab in a hurry).

Had heaps of fun as did Bianca who finally got out of the office. Cheers...

ps. The last guy indicated in the log book that Pesky may turn up in a cache in Woolongong or Canberra.

Found at 5.15PM A quaint little town that we had not visited before. Geocaching really gets us to some interesting places. Found the cache with no difficulty after doing the maths. We will give Pesky, the traveller, a lift to Wollongong. Greg and Bev

Binalong time since you found a cache here! – Binalong time that anyone might find a cache here! We binalong time searching for a cache here, and never found it here. After fighting barbwire fences, and negotiating sheep, we decided something was amiss… After that we binalong time in the car doing our maths, and grinding through the permutations. Added a few more ingredients slapped in some more dates, and decided to try the dude’s date of birth instead, and bingo – no so binalong time, and we found it! Oh well, I always like an extra challenge.
Swapped a SouthPark pen for a matchboxcarclock. Also left Pesky! Pesky is a traveller – so whoever finds this next can collect him, and drop him off at another location!

Had a lot of fun and thanks for the history lesson.
