Sheep country Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia

Unfortunately, I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore as advised previously, the cache is being de-listed (Archived) to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

The [**Geocache Maintenance guideline**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains what needs to happen with a Disable cache.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article [**here**](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

If you wish to contact me please send an email via my profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

---------

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

I notice from one or more log entries that this cache would seem to be in need of some help - **there appears to be a need for owner intervention.**

Therefore, the cache is being temporarily disabling so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) I cannot see any log that indicates a recent visit by the CO to this cache.

If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) by **28th September,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?

You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:

- Repair and/or Replace your cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.

- If you don't plan on fixing it up then please [**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.

- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (by 28th September). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.

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

Another DNF here. It's been 2 months since the Maintenance log and no action has been made. I hope that a Needs Archive log will create a sense of urgency to look after this cache. Thanks.

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Second DNF for the day. There was enough rubbish in the bushes, so we used gloves and a garbage bag as "stealth" to inconspicuously and thoroughly search the garden bed.

Upside - The garden area is considerably cleaner.
Downside - We still couldn't find the cache.

Did Not Find here today. We picked up quite a lot of rubbish here too. Even with all the rubbish removed from the garden, we couldn't locate the container that we were after. Can the owner check on this one as soon as possible.

Out for a day of caching in the Goulburn area. Found this more than a year and a half ago. Returned with friends but couldn't seem to put our hand on it today. Thorns were thicker than last time too, as well as a pile of rubbish. We did a mini CITO but the area could benefit from a thorough clean up.

Easy find

A massive day was planned to clean up the area around Goulburn and do all of the Taralga trek. Started with a parkrun in Goulburn and then took the clockwise loop to Crookwell, Laggan, Taralga and back to Goulburn. Weather wasn't really on my side, cold and partly wet, but no soaking rain so I pushed through. Great caches and a good series with lots of different containers and hiding spots. I had a great day, thanks to all the cache owners for putting out the caches.
TFTC Wilbert67

Easy found tftc

Couldn’t get through spikey bushes

We woke to a coo morning with quite a bit of fog about, but it soon cleared to a lovely autumn day just perfect for caching.
We set off on a loop in one part of town that had a variety of cache types. There were a few different types of hides and not many muggles in the areas we visited.
Goulburn is a much older town than where we live, so we enjoyed the older buildings and some of the history the place presents.
The connection we made on arrival led us astray a bit, and we searched for quite a while before we spotted the container.
The log is quite damp, but we still managed to sign.

Log very wet.. Pic attached

Out Caching with ESCR, a big day was had out from Wingello to the Taralga Trail, notching up the numbers.

Cache 3289 on 9 Jan 2018

Today was my last day of holidays and what better way to celebrate than to go caching with HappyUke! I got dropped off by my family on their way to Sydney and HappyUke collected me for a drive around Goulburn finding caches. Lots of laughs and chit chat - what else would you expect from old school friends. All caches found quickly and in accordance with the hint unless otherwise indicated.

Good to avenge a previous DNF. But the cache and log need some serious maintenance. Log soggy, container rusty. Took photo in lieu of signing.

Thanks B0tmun for the cache!

DNF

Lots of rubbish and muggles. School holidays is prob not the right time to look for this one.

Lots of rubbish in the area.
Long weekend. I better time to go caching. I drove down from Greystanes on Friday afternoon so I could get an early start on my caching day. As I start to log them I have no idea how many caches I got today my target was 75 on my own.
Today did have a lot of first for me.
Saw my first geo snake which slithered away as I approached. I have a really fear of snake so was shaken for a while.
I saw my first beware of funnel web spider sign and then saw 2 on the cache.
I traveled 606km from the time I left home and then got home again tonight.
Thanks to all the geocachers whose caches I find today. If it was. It for you guys I would not have had a fantastic day. Seen some amazing and not so amazing sights.
Thanks heaps.

Out and about with Happy Uke again today. This time we had ventured south again to Goulburn to try our luck.

Thanks!

Finalf29 and I had a wonderful time caching around Goulburn on such a glorious afternoon. I had planned a really good raid on the Goulburn caches, but a broken water main in the front yard meant we didn't get to Goulburn until about 2:30pm. We still found nineteen by the time the sun was setting. I have had a very taxing week at work, but after a bit of caching... I am now a happy HappyUke!

This is our thirteenth for the arvo. Not what I expected from the name of the cache. The cache is hidden by rubbish and log damp. Thanks

An easy find while taking a break from driving. TFTC.

Today I headed for Mittagong to attend the event there to earn this weekend's souvenir, as tomorrow I'm unable to attend the local event. After the event I cached my way home to Canberra via back roads to Goulburn. Cache very quickly found as it was exposed. I left it covered up. TFTC.

After a day out learning about orienteering with school, I finally found some interest in geocaching and asked if I could tag along with Noodles22 on his caching trip this morning. Catapult07 joined us for a long drive along Wombeyan Caves road before reaching our first cache.
With only 3 hours of daylight left we managed to get our hands on 22 caches. But it wasn't until halfway through them did i decide on getting my own caching name.
Hope to continue on with this game.
Thanks for the cache.

When I heard that Noodles22 was going out caching worth my other brother, newly named Wombat2005, i jumped aboard and joined them. At that time I didn't know how far we were going. After a long windy road and a case of car sickness the we reached the caching ground.
Another 22 to add to my score on this cold day.
Thanks for the cache.

I woke up this morning a bit too early for my comfort, but by the time any plans were made it was late morning already. When I decided to return to Taralga (via Wombeyan Caves Rd) and find the trail of caches leading to Goulburn two of my little brothers asked to tag along, Catapult07 and Wombat2005. Of course they couldn't go on any road trip without their electrical devices to play on, as a consequence we needed a couple of stops to recover from car sickness.
FINALLY we made it to our starting point we needed to stop for a late lunch. AND ONLY THEN COULD WE FIND ANY CACHES!
Wet managed to find 22 before the sun disappeared and the temperature plummeted even lower than it was.
Thanks for the cache.

#2977 10 of 16 today

The local forecast was for rain today, so it was with some delight to see no rain this morning, A quick check of the rain radar & it looks like the rain has skirted south of here. Today I thought I hit up Dalton & revisit Goulburn which always seems to have new caches. There was some thunder as the day progressed, but nothing that interfered with my important work.

My second visit to this one. There were juvenile muggles here last time. Today it was better, although still busy with home buyers.

TFTC B0tmun.

Another good find while going from cache to cache today.
*Enjoyed the drive around.*
SL TFTC

TFTC. Made a find of this one. Had to dodge the bees and the big dog behind the fence didnt like us being there. TB's stopped by for a visit.

Quick park and grab, watch out for the Bees

Got it

**# 16675** Found on the start of our 2017 winter escape trip.
Easter Monday in Goulburn and a day of driving around town again.
And another nice sunny day with not many muggles around.
Mostly good quick finds today for my last day here on this trip.
Thanks for the cache B0tmun,
***Roostaman***

Found with nissan 65. Cold out caching today. Thankyou for the cache

Day out caching between this yucky rain with cullum 68 thanks for the cache

A caching trip to-day, Bungendore, Tarago Goulburn and return to Canberra via Lake George. Loved the woodlands. TFTC

Good find.

I'm still wondering what the hint means, but maybe that's just me. I got covered in little black ants at GZ, so watch out!

Found it

Goulburn Day 2.
We have set up camp at the VC rest stop. Caching with Liz and Bruce again today.
Today we were more in the town area. Walked the Woodlands while it was not too hot.
We had a nice tiki tour of the town on our caching tour.
I read the name, the paddocks where not suitable for sheep. A good name for your cache.
Thanks for placing this cache B0tmun

We are heading to South Australia before heading to the event in Alice Springs. Today we teamed up with Di and Bill from the team DiMorgan and traversed many of the streets of this lovely town to find caches. This was one we were able to find. Thanks to B0tmun for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Day 4
hmm unusal camo not sure about this one , past a couple of cachers driving by..
In town to meet up with the NSW folks during the Goulburn invasion and attempting to find as many of these newish geocaches in this fine town, found with Tealby.
thanks B0tmun

TikvaNZ and I decided to head to the NSW caching event in Goulburn today via Gunning! We found all but one cache we looked for, but missed a few more in Gunning due to high muggle activity (8am on a Sunday)! After the event, we found a few more in Goulburn before heading down the Hume home. It was a great day grabbing caches with TikvaNZ and thanks to all the COs

Our only DNF of the day. TikvaNZ put in a good effort looking for the cache for many many minutes, but came up empty handed and quite scratched. Next time!

Found this cache next to a not do big merino sheep

Should be easy to find?
Isn't.
Bit like a needle in a haystack...
Either I am missing something (quite possible - lol) or maybe a muggle has seen everyone else coming here, and removed it... either way, I have looked for too long already and my arms and legs are itchy from all the prickly grassy stuff (which spiked me through my jeans, stuck in my jeans, and spiked me again... sigh...

Yep definitely "dropped" here! Surprised this type of hide lasts, it turns out I've been city-fied as it wouldn't last long in Sydney I don't think. I didn't understand the relevance of the cache name until seeing the name of the estate and then it all made sense. I can't believe how many estates there are now since I lived here - Goulburn sure is expanding. As we drove off / past, another two finders were there.

I spotted this straight away luckily as it was hidden where I would hide it if was forced to hide one here as punishment.

TFTC.

AngelG27 and I teamed up to share transport and cache our way to Goulburn for today's event. We had an early start to make the most of the morning, starting in Gunning. Unfortunately this was our only DNF for the day.

Find #11 of 3653 at 11:00:00 AM on my Goulburn Invasion day out with mtrax - not my biggest one day total, but it was close, and seeing that I only found 68 caches in total for the whole of 2016 it is pretty impressive given my recent form!

TFTC B0tmun - we had a great day out.

Tftc. Quick find, thanks B0tmun. Quick park and grab on my way home.

Nice easy find, but the bushes were a bit prickly =]

It really doesnt look like sheep country here anymore with all the development going on.
Thanks B0Tmun for the cache

Catching up with logging for the end of year. Found this one on a day-trip to Goulburn toward the end of November. TFTC.

Quick find here, managed to park pretty much next to it!
Thanks B0tmun!

20/12/16 Found by Sniffermutt and 3 geo kids. Swapped fortune cookie note for small pearl.

Found after a quick dash following one of my two nightshifts. Really looking forward to having four days off this week. Hoping to do some bulk caches to end my first year of geocaching with 1000 finds.

"visited" the trackables I had on board this morning.

Tftc tnln

With the buildup of caches in Goulburn getting high again, I decided a day trip was on order. I managed to pick up an old DNF but had a few more during a fun day caching around this beautiful country town.

Thanks.

A quick find on our drive through Goulburn this afternoon. The cache is safe and dry. Log signed and on our way again.
Thanks

Domsky

Nice easy find for me today, TFTC

One day sheep , next day houses. Progress? TFTC good clue

Found it easily thank goodness. Ninja move back to the car to sign and placed back safely. TFTC!

The most stealthy of the family moved in for the kill, brought back to the car for logging and then a stealthy return of the cache was made.
Busy traffic wise here today.
OCWF SL TFTH

Found at 5:00 PM GAFF1.
We were not looking forward to have to wade through the garden bed, but it turned out to be a lot easier than we thought. Nice houses around here.
Thanks B0tmun.

Happy Halloween, At goulburn meet geofriend to around of town for caches for a day...
Great enjoyed around here to easy find as no trouble.
Thanks for having us here

Found with problem.

Spent some time checking numerous bushes amongst the spiky plants. Eventually spotted the sneaky hide. Log wet, but managed to sign.

Thanks

Only merino's seen nearby .
Sneaky hide .
Nice new housing area , thanks.

The first week back for softball was cancelled, so we had to come up with something to amuse ourselves for the day. We collected the Geomum and sent a text to Rapidlywild to see if she wanted to join in the festivities for our jaunt up the highway to clear out the newish posted caches in the Goulburn area. Mother nature was kind and turned on the good weather, and finds were coming in thick and fast with only two DNF's for the day. Great company, a few laughs and the token stop at Trappers Bakery for lunch made for a delightful day.

Lots of rubbish here, took a search along the wall and found it in the last place we looked.

TFTC B0tmun

With the sun shining, plans were put into place with the FFLL ladies and FFLL geomum to head out on a road trip to Goulburn and surrounds for some cache collections. Was a wonderful day it was and with great company

Up the hwy we go, passing the awesome looking Lake George, wow I have never seen it with that much water in it

The GPSr had us all over the place for this one, didnt really like the idea of having to search in such a beautiful piece of landscaping..... There are blackberries growing within here, so we found out the hard way. We eventually got hold of the cache, log signed and cache replaced.

Thanks for the cache B0tmun [^]

Out doing a little geocaching with BAB - This area is just growing every day - Nice to see some new caches being placed - Log saturated - TFTC

This area is growing so rapidly - Great to see some more caches being placed around Goulburn - The log is totally soaked and nearly impossible to write on TFTC

TFTC

A successful day in Goulburn, with 30 finds for the day. 2 dnfs. Caches found were all in good condition. Quick find. Signed and replaced. Tftc

A days caching with steeba and Hoojar had been a few weeks in the planning. The all-important question of where to go, loomed….. A quick study of the gc.com map showed an influx of new caches in the Goulburn area so today we set about finding the plethora of caches that dotted the region.

Under cloudy skies this cache was one of the 70 we found today.
Thanks to all the CO’s for their respective hide.

I was out for a day of caching with The Rats, steeba and Juno. We had been planning and solving for a few weeks in preparation. Our main target area was to clear out Goulburn, which seems to have had quite an influx of caches over recent months, I swear it was not that long ago that I had none anywhere near here to find!

On a cool day we had an early start and managed to knock over around 70, mostly before lunch too! This was one of the many finds for the day. Thanks to all of the cache owners for placing their hides, I look forward to coming back to town soon to find our couple of DNFs.

Cheers

Found on a run to Goulburn for the day with The Rats and Hoojar.

Goulburn has seen an explosion of caches in recent times and we spent our time enjoying our trip around town finding caches. TFTC!

Found this cache, thank you for the hide.

A last minute decision to head to up the highway to Goulburn to make a dint in the caches around the area. Only half a day for me, so met up with fitzy_1965 and specimenX along the way were soon nabbing the caches. A couple of DNF's for the day, however this one was soon found and our names, or initials, were in the log book.

Thanks for the cache......

An eleventh hour plan was set in place with fitzy_1965 and Sol de Lune - so off we went for a great day of caching to Goulburn

A quick park and grab by fitzy at this spot

Thanks for the hide, B0tmun

Kids Found it , left a pink bead .

Found this cache at 3:50pm while in Goulburn for the day caching on such a fabulous day.
Thanks BOtmun for the hide
The Bushies

11718. A last minute decision and Sol de Lune, specimenX and I (in most logs as FSS or FS) were heading up to Goulburn for a big day of caching.

Continuing our campaign to clean up Gouburn this was the next one on the list. No problems with a quick find at GZ. Signed the log, returned the cache and we headed off to the next one.

Thanks again B0tmun !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

I found this cache as a joint part of “Team” Throsbyonchurch and in which name the log book was signed. I now have my own account as I’m old enough to cache myself, so I am claiming a fair share of my earlier finds. As I had no caching name at the time there's no log in the book for me but I’m claiming the find under team ToC. Thank you for the hide.

Found it . -- 2:42 PM -- SL TNLN TFTH. Thanks for bringing us here. Cache in good condition.
After an early arrival in Goulburn it's 'Charge !! Go get 'em' in a ditch effort to clean out all the local caches. Haa, Haa, that did not happen as we have had the most unexpected, and fantastic day in Goulburn.
The last few days I have been juggling where we would go caching today. I even entertained the idea of staying home and starting the spring cleaning. It was a gorgeous day and I was ready to go bright and early, so caching won, and we are so glad we came here.
We discovered the War Memorial was open. Exciting !! All the times we have been here and finally, we get the chance to go inside. Woo hoo. Stunning 360 deg views from the top. And we also scored a visit to the nearby museum. Heard and saw a 1953 steam train from Canberra, echoing throughout Goulburn, it was loud everywhere we went, even up at the war memorial.
Finally, at days end we got to see it filled with water that overflow from the top, and billow out steam which encased us as it blew its horn upon heading off to the station. Memorable !
Anyway, we arrived at this cache and soon had CIH. I was surprised to see they'd named a new suburb Merino Country - interesting choice, and a nearby street, Kidd Circuit - wonder if it was named after the wealthy grazier named Kidd.

This time success! Found on a late night dash after work to keep my streak alive. This time it was a nice fast find. TFTC

Came to Goulburn today to find a specific cache type for a souvenir. Managed to find 3 of those and also 29 others! Can complain about that. (Oh, and another 12 caches when I got home, so that was 44 for the day I'm stuffed!).

Nice quick find here, thanks again botman!

Wasn't feeling the best this morning so decided to grab this one when I dropped two of the geokids to day care. Quick easy find......ok, I knew where it was given I am the CO's mother

Arrived at GZ and seen Cachers there... It was the CO who was checking on it as the last person had a dnf. All good as it had a little bit of cache creep. Nice to have met you all. And TFTC

Found late last night. Had one muggle driver curious what I was up to, but no encounter ensued. Spiky grass planted with the bush left me itching for a while afterwards though.
TFTC BOtmun

Had two runs at this one tonight but to no avail! Sneaky little sucker.

Found late at night after work. Had 1 muggle car driver very curious about my actions, but eventually he moved on. Beware the spiky grass also planted here - itch city!

After going to the doctor and getting non wanted information thought I'd try for a quick f2f to cheer me up. Feeling a lot better now. Thanks for the great hide.
