No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

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 30 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.

Cant contact owner!! Cache container, contents and even location need replacing! Beautiful place, needs an appropriate cache!

this one needs to be replaced in a different location......
stump no longer doing a very good job in hiding the cache from muggles
could see this one from 60mt away...
too high up to be able to camoflage with branches...
log too mushy to sign

but this is a beautiful and peaceful location

tftc

Log is completely mush. the stump had 'caved in' on the inside so the cache had fallen out onto the path and someone put it at the base of the tree.
New log needed and I suggest new container and tweaked location. Until this is fixed, you may need to ignore the cache but do take the great walk and see the falls. Worth it. I'll try and contact the owner . . .

Found with scotttiew while takeing grandaughter for sleep in pram - had to carry the pram half the way! THANKS SON!

Revisited with dad this time. Dried cache as much as possible, put new snap lock and pen in and removed waterlogged novel. We surprised to women returning who were staring at their GPS - I suspect they'd just found the cache - but haven’t logged it online (hard to read their entry in the soggy log). Posted some pics that show perspective of falls.

nice little walk to the falls. TFTC

Cache was very wet inside, logbook etc needs attention badly - probably replacing

Nice little waterfall - would love something like this outside my kitchen window to stare at while doing the dishes - might be easier to get a dishwasher. Nice walk, could only take a stroller (with big wheels) half way up the track - if you were wondering.
I can't believe it's been nearly a year since this one has been logged. Found it with Friends Dan and Jeanelle.
Took pander WWF box for my enviro-friend and left Golf call to mate with the ping pong ball

Enjoyable walk in nice forest. Beautiful waterfalls, specially now after recent rains. The cache has been a bit wet. I have dry it as much as i could. Thanks for nice location.

Found at 1410 hours, enjoyed the stroll to GZ as I listened to the birds in the trees. It was a little damp under foot today but the ferns and the trees looked great. I was lucky that it did not rain today as I would have been drenched.
Took TB
Left Nothing.

Found it, didn't need a GPS as the cache was exposed. Since Robmc's log (November 6, 2006), 3 muggle's have signed the logbook two (2) in 2007 and one (1) mid 2008.

Signed logbook, Left TB and returned the cache with some extra coverage out of sight of the muggles.

A pleasant stroll along a well formed path. Unfortunately, not too much water at the other end, but the falls still looked OK.
An easy and quick find.
Thanks for the walk, Robmc.

Found this one too. Geojen and Sonia and our dog Tess all came to this one. An easy stroll up the path. There were a couple of young guys nearly one third of my age having a major sook about how hard the walk was up here. We even had to provide some water for them because they were scared to drink the stuff flowing by. Don't know what the worlds coming to. I reckon the falls are named after them.
Sooky La La's.
Anyway we enjoyed it. Thanks.

Found at 4.55pm GAFF1. After spending some time looking for a shorter access to this cache from Mount Bride Road, we eventually bit the bullet and took the conventional route. A pleasant walk of around 25 minutes there and 20 minutes back with the sound of the creek accompaning us along the way. Thanks geofreak. Took: Clamp, Left: Table tennis ball.

Lovely walk through the forest to some small but nice falls. Cache location was a good one but did need the clue with the head cover. T boomerang, L pincers. Thanks geofreak.

Shane and I attempted this the week before however we were unsuccesful as the GPS took us up a track where you needed a 4WD and we made a wise decision to turn back but we ran out of time to attempt again that day. Great walking track with heaps of little tracks going off in different directions. Easy find and beautiful falls. Kids loved this walking track although Ayden tried to get me to carry him with not much luck!!

I really enjoyed the walk up to this cache today, even though it was nice & sunny, it was still cool enough to be pleasant walking up the moderate uphill grade. The bush was beautiful and the track though damp, was not wet or slippery. I found the cache easily with a funny feeling that I may have been here before. There are a few trees across the track especially near the falls, maybe the owner of this cache should come up here with a chainsaw and clear them off. The walk back down was even more enjoyable than the walk up and, even with a short deviation to check out the bottom end of the 'Ha Ha' bike track, it only took 45mins to do the return trip. Thanks Geofreak for making me return to do this pleasant walk again, Rascal says thanks too, I think he enjoyed it even more than me.

Found at 1430 hrs by GString and family , nice stroll up the hill, a few leeches, nice view at the end, plenty of water falling ...

took; perfumed candle
left; panda bear case and info.

thanks Geofreak.

Found at 12:00 midday. This one has been on our to-do list for soooooo long and we finally got the chance to complete today. An absolute ripper day and the perfect weather to complete the walk. The falls were a treat to see. The satellites weren't too great close to GZ but I had spotted what I thought was the final point on the way past and it proved to be correct. Thanks Geofreak from D & H B-A.

Unfortunately the 1.5km walk was too much for us today, as it was raining and pouring and it would have only been about 10 degrees, we abandoned this one for our next trip. I have always wanted to come and see LALA falls, so next time i'm here weather permitting I will go for this cache..

Thanks anyways M.B

This one took some finding I can tell you. With all the tree cover we had about a 100 meter area to cover. In the end we found it in a place we had alredy looked in.

Followed down from Nutcache's cache - possibly not a good idea. Nice easy find - although gps reception erratic close to hiding place. Falls a bit of a disappointment.

This find has been a long time coming but I finaly found a good time to do it. Visited many months ago but didn't have the clue. GPSr reception is very poor here so I took a look at the clue and finaly got back to find it in the first place I looked today.

Left Gold boomarang key ring
Took CDR

2 TBs visited also

Thanks Geofreak

Found 11:00, a very pleasant walk to start the day.

Took Freddo figurine and left a deck of playing cards, thanks GeoFreak.

Found at 14:05 nice walk, but i am glad its down hill on the way back, hopefully all this caching will get me fit.

took batteries and left a candle.
thanks Geofreak

Went to look for this one in the evening of a very hot day. It was very humid on the trail, and we were happy to reach the falls at the end.

We would like to thank geofreak for the additional hint otherwise we wouldn't have found it because GPS reception was very dodgey along the route.

Swapped a stubby holder for a compass.

Regards

Penny & ian

Found fairly easily. GPS was spot on. Took nothing and left a crime novel. Rather more water going over the falls now than in the picture in the cache description!

This was a pleasent walk from where we parked the car. I huffed and puffed my way up. Muzza and Alan-san waited for me to reach them so we could all search for the cache.
Alan-sans GPS was saying 9mt mine and Muzza's were reading 21mtr down the hill. Decided to rely on Alan-sans GPS. I spied the cache before the other 2. Muzza reached it 1st. A joint effort this one. Found at 1010 swapped a padlock for a large band aid.
Thanks Geofreak lovely walk and area. I think it took us 50 mins. Would have taken the boys a lot quicker if they hadn't waited for me. Oh well.

This was the first for the day for Kiwideb, Alan-san and myself. After a pleasant walk to GZ, we relied on Alan-san's GPS to guide us. Kiwideb made a suggestion where it might be, and there it was.

I took a pack of cards and left a carabiner/compass. After making her log, Kiwideb headed off for the car while Alan-san and myself made our logs, hid the cache, and went to have a look at the falls. Kiwideb was most disappointed that she didn't go for a look. She didn't realise just how close it was.

Thanks, Geofreak, for the cache and for a lovely walk in a great area.

Found at 10:10a with Muzza and Kiwideb. This is really a nice area, we hear the birds, the the water tricking down the river off to the side and it's great to see the new growth after rain. It is obviously a walk anyone can do as we passed a couple who were 80 returning from the falls. The cache for found quickly, as I searched one area, Kiwideb searched the correct one just after and it was ours. I swapped a book tape out for a screwdriver in.
Thanks Geofreak for showing us this great area.

Found at 12.00 noon, A lovely walk in with rain and low cloud creating an unreal atmosphere.
The Falls were running well.
A good thing we had a hint as the GPS Gods were being unfriendly today.
Left Sully TB for further adventures after a short rest.
Took crayons
Thanks Geofreak

Found by Mary & David at 1500. The walk wasn't as bad as we thought from the description and the sign at the carpark. Taking our time, we took 1hr 15min car - car and had time for several photos along the way. The path was a bit soggy but the rain thankfully held off till we were back in the car. Picked out the right place for the cache as we approached, and went on the last 100m or so to see the falls afterwards. They would look even better after more rain. Coords worked out very well considering the damp tree cover. The earlier rain had refreshed and accentuated the greenery and the vivid colours of the various toadstools and fungi along the track. Took measuring spoons, left a talking book which helped us pass the time on a recent caching expedition. Thankyou thankyou, geofreak.
