Find # 8,025 for me on 27 May 2023 at 9:48 am.
First thing we did after arriving in Paraburdoo.
Cache was very difficult to extract, but we got there.

Thanks SCAR16, for giving back to the game.

*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

No luck with this one, maybe another time.

Impressive scenery and huge truck here. Lots of bird life too. Thanks for bringing us here.

We weren’t going to stop with 2 previous DNF, on the cache, however MR H the star found it.

No cache but the big green tonka was awesome to see.

Can we have a hint please

.

Driving from TomPrice to Exmouth, we stopped here and besides this huge truck, we found the cache, thank you

Heading out to Mt Augustus, we took the longer road to come through Paraburdoo. Wow….that is one green machine. New coordinates were great, and cache was quickly found. Thanks for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

Coordinates changed from:
S 23° 12.214 E 117° 39.986

Coordinates changed to:
S 23° 12.225 E 117° 39.993

Distance from original: 77.5 feet or 23.6 meters.

Coords updated on behalf of the owner, who seems to have abandoned the cache. Since it seems to be there to be found, I'll give it a stay of execution.

Enabled

Arrived in Paraburdoo then silly me injured my thumb so spent four hours at the local hospital getting treatment (great staff and even better service).
Finally it was time for some caching, grabbed another one first then came to this one since we are staying about 50m away.

Way back a previous finder added the coordinates where they found this cache, smart me noted them so knew where to look. Was a nice quick find.

And yes it is a nano

Thanks for the cache and what a big green machine

###Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.
I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner.

The cache owner needs to:

* Take action to restore the cache or address any issues such as correcting the D/T rating.
* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log
* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done, and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute which is present.

Otherwise :
* Post a Note Log to request more time if necessary, or provide other information..
**Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this, that is for use only **when you actually do something to repair the cache**.

Alternatively:

* Archive the cache, and remove any remaining geo-litter from the site.

In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page to await owner action by SCAR16 and to take it off the playing board to prevent further geocaching community inconvenience.
[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)
**I will check back in 30 days** to see that action has been by the CO.
If nothing has happened, I will assume that the cache has been abandoned and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache.
*Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*

The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is there, and in good condition, waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

Please see [my profile page](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u=Balayang) for additional information.
Thank you

No where to be seen. Sad as that is 3 in the region

That was hard co ordinates moving. Took ages to get out so broke a little of log off so hopefully easier

We ride we failed

Used new coords then soon had it. TFTC

Found this after using the compass for the coordinates. TFTC

That is a big green machine!
A short search with cords in notes and the fitting green hide was found. (Not a nano)
Cache in good condition

Thanks SCAR16

Co ordinates need updating

Found with new coordinates

Found it thanks! As per minargels coordinates

S 23°12.225' E 117°39.993'

Found but could not remove from holder to sign log. With elricks2019 and dimsym

Dnf

DNF.

Used updated coords. Still took awhile due to good hide. Tftc

We headed out on the Para - TP loop on a caching mission, using the updated coordinates we had a nice quick find here TFTC

Was way too hot and 3 muggles, looked in all obvious spots and under the most obvious spot to no avail, maybe next time when I come back for another shutdown I’ll try again, phone turned off twice to over heating

Only had a super quick stop to see this beauty. Couldn't find it in the 10mins I had with the new co-ords but thankful there was a cache here for me to see this magnificent machine.

Now that is green!

TFTC !

Thanks for the cache. Discovered near the green monster when we were travelling between karijini and cheela plains.

She's a green machine alright!

Have tried on and off whilst walking the geodogs to find this one, never had any luck till yesterday. I kept circling the Terex in hopes something would catch my eye! Would you believe i found the little sucker on the ground near one of the potential GZ's my phone was guiding me to!

Being that Minergal & I are locals we took the cache home to do some maintenance on it, cleaned her up & replaced the log! Took her back today & placed it in a more permanent, shielded spot away from both muggles & weather! Minergal will update the co-ordinates! Pleased to have brought this one back to life!

TFTC!!

Thought this cache had been lost, but after revisiting a few times with Panda Dundee, we managed to find the cache on the ground, obiously where it wasnt supposed to be. Having tried to contact the CO prior, and having no response, we decided to move the cache to a more protected area a few metres close by. Have posted new co-ordinates in note. TFTC

New co-ordinates S 23°12.225' E 117°39.993'

Cache relocated to new spot as it was found damaged and unprotected on the ground.

Not located on the Green Machine, so no need to enter.

Shes a beast they call her terex

No sign of it, so DNF for us.

On my way to work, picked up these new caches ftf for us, tftc sl tnln.
