Hi LovelyLadyLocks,

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 45 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 45 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.

#2428 parked in the nearby carpark and walked across against the wind took longer to find than I expected the GPSr wanted me in one spot and I concentrated there looked up and saw a spot that I liked the look of, ignoring where the GPSr wanted me headed to the other spot and soon had the cache in hand

With cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for bringing me to the area and thanks for placing the cache LovelyLadyLocks

Good cache, not too difficult to find. Thx!

After doing some research at Kingswood with JJCC today, decided to do a cache run in order to find some target caches for the day in order to fill in some requirements for a challenge cache series (USG) down in Canberra. This particular cache filled in a missing hidden date, so parking the car just off Charles Hackett Drive as directed on the cache page, we made the short walk over to GZ. Extending the search area by about 6m and we soon located the cache hide. With the cache in hand we both signed the log before replacing as found. Both the cache container and log are in good condition. Thanks for the cache LovelyLadyLocks.

The following TBs came through for the mileage: Bob geoMinion, Dave geoMinion, Evil geoMinion, Jerry geoMinion, Larry geoMinion, Mary Hyde's Treasure, Stuart geoMinion, teamMerlin's 7 Deadly Ducks Tag (Lust) & Vanlith The Youngling.

A short stop and a quick find on my way back from Penrith.

Once the log was signed the cache was returned as found.

I took along some trackables for a visit.

Spotted the obvious from about 15m away and bingo, CIH. Did the legals and replaced as found. TFTCM

Back in Penrith area for a week or so again so a little caching is in order and this guy was on my list for today.
I like all the other hunters read earlier logs and they all told you to look west young man so that is what I did. The rest is history.

Monkey Girl had the GPS, and followed it. I looked ahead and saw an obvious hide, so followed my instinct and looked there. Quick find. Probably a better position down here than the hide I remember at these wagons from years ago.

We went back to the wagons, and played a game jumping between the raised wooden stumps.

Thanks Smile

Great place, with some new timers

Slightly off coordinates...7-8mtrs further west will help.
 
09-Jul-17
I couldn't find on my 1st attempt but after reading that GZ was further West than the co-ords given, I was able to quickly find this hide on my second attempt.
Took nothing, left keyring. TFTC.

My client requested a 90 minute delay this arvo.
Quick find once past the wagons.
 
12-Jun-17
Arriving at GZ showed us there was nothing at that point. Decided to read some logs and found that the co-ords were out so we extended the search area and then the find was easy. Our GPS said the cache location was 12 metres from listed co-ords. Duties were done and all was replaced as found. Thanks to LovelyLadyLocks for showing us this park and the old wagons, which we found were interesting.

I got let off work early so took the GeoWife out for lunch at the nearby restaurant.
After we had finished eating, the rain had a slight break in it so, we decided to go out and find this relatively nearby cache.
Very nice area that was hidden to us until now.
On to the cache and the coordinates were off by about 10-15 metres but the hide location is fairly obvious with a slightly wider search area.
Everything with the cache was great.
Thank you LovelyLadyLocks.

My first cache this year, which was both exiting and sad. Exciting because it's a local cache and it was a quick and easy find; nice log book btw; and sad because I really miss caching.

Thank you to The Booos for letting me know the log book was saturated. I did some maintenance today, dried out the log book and gave the cache inside a good wipe down. All ready to go again - cache on!
 
31-Mar-17
Find number 3844

Co-ords with the iPhone where a about 10 meters out but probably to be expected. The cache itself hasn't held up that well to the rain and the log is saturated and contents wet.

Thanks for placing this cache LovelyLadyLocks

I think it was in the first months that I started caching in 2010 (I haven't checked, but that is my memory) that we found a cache in the metal grill that protects the wagons. It was a film canister, probably one of the first I had found.

We had time to kill this afternoon, so the WaywardWoman kindly agreed to me doing some caches she had already found. This one was a little further away from the wagons than I imagined, but in a sensible spot and easy to find. Thanks

Easy find. Coordinates slightly off though
 
29-Jan-17
Found it!!
 
25-Jan-17
ugh!! So much camo... wonky gps.
 
23-Jan-17
GZ had me at a different spot, but I looked at the real spot and dismissed it. Then I read some logs and smartened up! No need to adjust the coords. When you are under trees, everything goes nuts...and it should be obvious eventually. TFTC

Promised the CO I'd hunt down her caches, got this one easily enough

16/1/16. 11:44 AM. Cache #4674.
2nd of 4 finds - St Marys & Ropes Crossing.

A few new caches have popped up in St Marys in the past month, just after I had the area cleared. So I headed over, starting with "The Wool Pack Inn" and then coming here. I checked out several trees, but none had any obvious hidey holes.

I then glanced in a different direction and saw a likely place. Removed some camo and revealed the cache. Signed log and took the TB to travel with me. Next, a return to "c.a.r.e.s. 2 (v2)". TFTC.
