I need to archive this cache because a main component for this cache has gone missing.
Thank you to all that have tried to find this cache.

Found the spot, followed the instructions but couldn't find the pile of rocks, resorted to decryption of the clue...and ha ha....NOT! but as Alan-san has noted the main ingredient does appear to be missing, so we couldn't continue.
[The rain actually helped us on our sixth and last cache for the day. Because it was so wet, we decoded the clue in the relative dryness of the car.] After that, finding the stock cube container and then the cache was an easy process. The stock cube container was quite exposed, and I wouldn’t be surprised if someone picks it up thinking it is rubbish. [Again, we made no exchange and would like to thank Mikita and Pyrenees Kid for a very wet, but most enjoyable day. We will be back sometime, with a map, to finish off the rest.]
The cache co-ordinates were found at 3:40PM on the 19th of July by Maya and Greg, with Ray and Bev some distance away with the GPS's still searching the GPS ground zero. We entered the new co-ords into our GPS's and soon had the real cache. The Nomads took a sink strainer and left a Big Wheels 4X4 car. Thanks again for placing the cache, The Nomads.
Found after a short search. Lovely views on the drive up to this one. Nothing exchanged. Greg and Bev
Found by embi, J and trex as part of team trex. Thanks to the organisers. We had a great day.
Cant remember what we swapped....too many caches. Reached 100 caches today.

The rain had started when we arrived at this location. Other cache hunters were huddled under the only shelter that was there. We all decided to have lunch and a chat.
The other cachers left and we searched for the clues. This was a strange one and I didn't get it so I let the other search for the clues
. Found the clue that sent us to the cache.
It started to rain and I think this was the cache we used my poncho to cover everyone as they signed the log book. A very sad by dry look
Many thanks for the cache and the wonderful area.

it got a bit wet when we got here but got the clues after missreading the paperwork, got to it quickly after that, no exchange.
Found 13:40, after huddling under the meagre shelter with the rest of the crowd as we ate lunch. Oh yes the weather was now very serious about raining. TNLN, thanks Mikita & Pyrenees Kid.
The weather had deteriorated to wet,cold and windy whilst we looked for this one.
We didn't use the hint and couldn't figure out what a rock is defined as.
We made an assumption but decided not to follow it.
Meredith retreated to the car with me close behind as the other cars arrived.
We felt that we would leave this one and others for another trip, and found warmth and comfort at the Avoca pub for a counter lunch.
We thought of you guys huddled under the structure having your lunch.
Thanks for a great but cold location.
We will return.

Found in the award winning company of team trex (nutcache & embi) as part of a great weekend of four wheel driving and caching. No exchange made. Thanks Mikita & Pyrenees kid.
Found in the company of geofreak and embi during the 2003 4X4 winter caching event. No exchange made but fun was had by all. Thanks Mikita & Pyrenees Kid.
This was definitely the highlight of today's caches! Arrived to find Team Derringer giving up without success. We followed all the instructions and came to the correct conclusion. Followed another caching group to GZ - I think it was Mr Blobby who discovered the container. Time for the heavens to open as we all stood under the structure for lunch. A great idea for a cache Mikita!
My notes read Absolutely frozen, led group in wrong direction [B)].
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks

After enjoying a lunch huddled under a small shelter with most of the other cachers, those that had already found it left us to go searching. Found this one at 1:45 in the good company of Biggles Bear, Team Boodi (running solo), and Kiwideb, with Mikita looking on.
No swap was made (again - slack heh?). Thanks to Mikita and Pyrenees Kid for the cache and a great day's caching.

Found by Mary & David with the 4x4 group at about 1305. A bit of prior preparation helped a lot. Took tyre gauge, left utility knife. Then we stood around under what little shelter we could find to eat our lunch in the rain. Great fun all the same. Thanks to Mikita.
