Will replace soon

.

Looked at the photo hints and searched for an hour still sadly could not find if you could plz check to make sure it has not been moved that would be great

.

Could a kind person replace cache

.

No luck here could have been washed away

We were unable to find this one. There is a lot of flood damage under the south side of the bridge, with the concrete coating on the bank missing or peeled back. The approaches to the bridge on the south side are also under repair and the new gravel banks are temporarily fenced off. There are sections of what may be remains of guard rail in the grass below the new gravel banks. If the cache is still there, it's too good for us. Our thanks anyway to Joshwa27.

1600kms drive from Brisbane to canberra - with an overnight roadside camp halfway. Picked up a few new counties this trip, including this one to break the drive a bit.

Thanks *JOSHWA27* for entertaining me at this location.

Found but needs maintenance and new log

Was worried after reading all the posts, but I need not have worried! TFTC

Found it

This was a had find
Loved it

Very cleverly placed. Not where we first went to, but seeing who placed it, it was much more logical. TFTC

We had planned a road trip to Queensland to visit family in 2021, but our travel plans were stalled due to border closures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now that the world was trying to get back to a semi normal state, we decided to have another go at getting away from the cold and head up north for some sunshine and warmth.

Day 21 – Last day for us today our journey would be from Dubbo to Canberra. We were both well and truly ready to be home again back to the home comforts. Nice to go away but even nicer to return home. Many caching stops along our way home and this was one of them.

All caches were found in good condition unless otherwise mentioned.

Thanks for the hide Joshwa27

QPG

Good find

This took longer then it should have. Once I read some logs realised what I was looking for. TFTC

Quick and easy find on a very cold and windy day.
TFTC.

Well that took me longer than it should have!

Nice little Cache!!!! Thank you!!!

Found on the drive from Wodonga to Tamworth thanks for the quiche

On our way to Eistedford in Cowra, stopped to stretch our legs. TFTC

Found while on our road trip south to Tasmania.
A quick find for us after poking around the little hidey holes at GZ.
TFTC

I had a DNF of this on 20/Nov/2020, so it was nice to change to today, with a quick find. Last time I was searching elsewhere. TFTC Joshwa27.

Found with Jondub. It was out in the open, so we rehid. TFTC

Found with Curloo

Cool spot

An easy find while travelling north today.

Day one of a road trip to Townsville with LuckyL10n and we managed a couple of finds around Cowra before moving on. Pulled off the road here at the bridge and soon had the cache in hand. Log was signed and we were back to the car and off for the next one.

Thanks for start to the trip Joshwa27....

#13530 - 11:37:00 AM; Day one of the Townsville Mega adventure with Sol de lune. The plan for the day is to cache our way north to Coonamble and camp the night. The weather intervened, so we headed further north to Walgett and a warm bed there. Collected caches along the way, including this one, which was found in good condition. Logs signed L.L10n and Sdl or vice versa. TFTC Joshwa27

We're driving from Gippsland in Victoria to Brisbane this weekend so when we saw the route recommended by Google, it was obviously the perfect opportunity to try for a find in 3 different states on one day! Unfortunately we may have been spotted by a muggle while here. Hopefully he isn't a curious type.
This find is for New South Wales, that's 3!

Thanks for find #3360
TNLN

An easy find once traffic let us cross the road. TFTC

Cute container

Got it, luckily didn't need to go under. TftC.

Found

Replaced. Same spot

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###

----------

Hi there Joshwa27,

It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is an issue with the placement. The cache has been temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed.

**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.**

#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache and repair and/or replace or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the logs of praise to roll in.

- **Place A Write Note Log::-** Reviewers don't have a crystal ball, so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, or you have been in hospital, or the area is in flood, they can't tell what is going on with the cache.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) and when a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
**Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks, so as to keep everyone up to speed.**

- **Adopt/Archive:-** If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**Archive it,**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when a Reviewer next looks at the cache page, it is likely that they will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) on the basis that it has been abandoned.

Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

**JUST A TIP:-** Have you checked out the new Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own? Have a read about it [**HERE.**](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/07/welcome-to-the-cache-owner-dashboard/?newsletter=PM) You will find your very own dash board [**HERE**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner?utm_source=geocaching&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=COD)

Thanks for your cooperation,

Searched high and low in regards to this geocache.. no contents found. (Washed away by recent floods?)

Possibly washed away by floods??

Took me a while in the rain but I did find it! TFTC!

Tftc

Found TFTC

Charlottes find ! Team ewens!

TFTC

Another quick and easy find TFTC

A nice quick find while driving through. TFTC

Found with Jemalong and Family and Sophiescout. TFTC

**Catching up on my now famous logging backlog, some going back a number of years.?? It started as a series of unfortunate events and went from there... Only seem to manage sporadic bursts so it's been a long haul project for me. This tardiness in no way reflects the quality of the hide or the enjoyment of the find.Apologies to COs for the late logs.The date of this log entry is the date I actually visited your cache.******************************************** Absolutely ecstatic to be on another geo road trip after a covid induced drought on travel! YAY!??Being from Queensland, I know I'm taking a chance on getting back in again, but nothing ventured, nothing gained!?? My aim this time was to get to Ballarat for the Geotour, events and catch up with friends. (Deferred twice already!) Afterwards I'm returning home via the Paddle Steamer? series near Mildura to do what I can of them before I have to return home. ?? I'm also trying to cache in as many LGAs as possible en route and avoid major centres further east being a new game plan atm. Also have to keep up to date with changing border restrictions in case of having to abandon all plans and make a desperate dash home,????? so that adds an unusual layer of challenge to this trip.This cache...which challenge/ why??LGA challenge ?leg stretchStopped here for a quick find on the way home. Discovered I've been pronouncing the name of this place incorrectly.??TFTC??

Didn't know if I should look on top of the bridge or under it and we looked to sketchy when looking so we gave up.

Out in Canowindra for the Balloon festival. Left the group and raced down to grab this cache. Walked down and got to GZ and started searching. After about a minute I checked some logs and saw some friends had found it, So I knew it was there. Another more thorough check of some spots and made the find. SL and replaced. TFTC.

Found with Mrs Oz KEG on our way home from a far western NSW holiday. This one took far to long to find. I made a glancing check in the location of the cache but ended up exploring in more detail everywhere else before doing so where the hide was. TFTC.

With Oz Keg. TFTC

On the way from Canberra to Eugowra, via Wyangala, for the NSW orienteering champs. A quick find here. TFTC.

Travelling from Molong to Cowra
Nice area, but I couldn't find it.
Thanks anyway JOSHWA27

Tftc! A simple find. A very nice spot after rain

Tftc. A quick easy find here today.

Heading to Coolah and collecting a few caches on the way. Thanks for placing this cache - great location,

Well here we are in Canowindra, and decided to make this find as we arrived into town. We had a relatively quick look around, managing to skirt over the cache but a second pass soon after revealed it in its hiding place. Thank you for another smiley.

#4264
A quick find on a sightseeing tour around Cowra and the local region today. This is a great town and I'm enjoying my time here.

Thanks for hiding this cache and adding to my geocaching adventures.

A nice quick find on Day 3 of our journey up to the Dayboro mega. TFTC Joshwa27.

Sneaky hide

No luck here today. Is it still there ?

Coordinates changed from:
S 33° 34.181 E 148° 39.817

Coordinates changed to:
S 33° 34.177 E 148° 39.819

Distance from original: 26.3 feet or 8.0 meters.

Better co ordinates

Squished GZ. No hope of finding this one!

Where oh where could a small sized cache hide? I used both sets of coordinates, checked both sides of the bridge, but couldn't find that elusive hiding small sized cache. If it's in the road guard, one of them has been crushed and if there is a cache inside, it's now crushed too and sealed inside. DNF!

Tried to think like a troll and noted the incorrect coordinates but still no luck here today.

Found it this time. I am sure I looked there last time. Found at cords S 33 34.177 E 148 39.819.

10:33:00 AM: (4 of 5) Find#11964
Trip to Orange found on my return to Canberra
DNF and back again, moving my focus away from the obvious spot and probably about 8m from my GZ.
anyway unusual spot but there it was all good.,


thanks Joshwa27

I think a car has hit gz?

Didn’t find , don’t think this town wants us to find anything will try again in drier weather

Troll was a great hint. Great little hide, tricky and found it on second look. Is indeed 8m from GZ. 0 degrees so fingers too cold to sign log. TFTC

New Bomkins eyes proved useful! Troll clue slightly misleading- we checked that spot twice, used audible clues from stick to help!

Would have found if we had more time- the comments were really helpful but still didn’t manage. Will try tomorrow with another member of the Bomkins!

The GZ is a little off, just think trolls and you’ll get there TFTF

No luck finding this one.

Second attempt busy arvo on bicycle but still no find.

#3714 The cache is there, even though someone ran into it. It just took a little while for it to be confirmed after reading some logs. Coords where a few meters off. Heading from Canberra to Wellington for 2 days. TFTC.

This was a adventurous long weekend drive from ACT to Wellington caching along the way with TheSkype. Muggle bro in toe. It’s not at the most obvious location which had a fender bender accident, but it’s not far away. Tftc

If it was where I was expecting....
No longer accessible. See pic

No find. May have been comprimised by crashed railing.

Couldn't find it near GZ but widened the search and thought about where else it could be and the find was made. TFTC

Took a while to find this one

Looked around - lots of traffic. Not sure whether the bungle on the guard rail effected it.

Cute, different from usual bridge cached

A well hidden cache. All dry and in good condition
TFTC

Found & logged while on the road, while doing the mystery in the musssseum.
Thanks Joshwa27

Quick find with sjg66 on the way back from Queensland, thanks to all the cache owners that maintain these caches.

Tricky one. We eventually found it in a place we had looked but not hard enough.

Couldn't find it. May be next time.

So full of swaps I could barely get the lid back on, tftc @ 1051, it a bit further away than expected

Coordinates aren't helpful as they point to the grass between the path and the bridge. No hint available.
Oh well, a hour was enough looking...

Another one with treasure's. Well done.

Found on 18/5/19 TFTC

Found it. About 8m from GZ.
I accompanied geo wife when she found this one in June 2016 but still found it a difficult find. Had my hand in it twice but didn’t open my eyes. Thanks Joshwa

Tricky but very entertaining.

(2 of 6 today)

Am in Canowindra for 18th and 19th and thought I pick up a few. Found, but took a lot longer than needed as coords were about 10 or so metres out but found eventually. Visited Trackable.

TFTC #75 found with kehorley.

Yaaay!! I'm off on my Brisbane trip. Sad to be leaving my lady and her kids. I shall have to cheer myself up with geocaching ...

I've done some pocket queries and some research on the results. I'm trying to meet lots of targets for Professor Rapidly Wild's UGC series at home, so I'm seeking :

Two caches placed in 2000 - none found so far
One cache placed in 2001 - none found so far
119 caches of size "Regular" - One found so far
20 caches of size "Large" - none found so far
One letterbox in Qld - none found so far
One letterbox in NSW - none found so far
Any puzzles and multicaches I can reasonably find.

I've located enough caches to find on this trip on this trip to complete all but the last target. So we'll see how I go.

I pulled up close to this one. The GPSr was pointing me close to the mashed up guard rail, which, if the cache was in it, would make it inaccessible. However, I reckon the damage pre-dates the latest finds, by ages. So I searched a bit further, and found your cunning hide.

Day 1, Monday - 12 in total.

Find no 6 of 12 today.
Thanks, Joshwa27

Quick and easy. Thank you
