Since the owner of the cache hasn't contacted me, I'm reluctantly archiving this cache. If the owner wants to reinstate this cache, they should contact the reviewer that first published the cache.
This might need a check up.. there is no black and red sign near GZ, I suspect the local Council has changed/removed it.
this has been one of those ill get round to it well today was the day we picked a hot day to do it but the nd result was worth it
Found with the Nomads in tow. They had found it on a previus visit and highly recommended that we do this cache too. Well, after a bit of a runaround we got to the cache. We would have got there earlier but an error on our part led us astray. Thanks for a very enjoyable cache. TNLN. Greg and Bev
Finally! Special thanks go to Dubbo City Council for removing the sign. [:(!]. Muggle chances on this location are about '0'. When we were at ground zero there were some kids on m'bikes enjoying the damp roads, but we could not even see them. Really enjoyed this cache, must have taken a long time to set it. Took car, left recorder. Thanks Team 80, and thanks for fixing the problem with the sign.
Found it, Took a while to get back to finish the final part but picked it up today whilst doing clean up aust day.welldone team 80 a great cache and well thought out we really enjoyed the run around.Filled in log,TNLN
Great find never been in Beni forest before, sure got the run around. Enjoyed every part of it. Took electrical tool kit and left a green taxi car.Thank you Team'80'
Hmm, could not finish this today had a lot of fun getting to the point of solving the final waypoint but then we found "something" in the the area closeby that made us leave in quite a hurry,oh well thers always next weekend.we should be un spooked by then.
Found again by geograndma Maya, and Ray, at 7:20PM on the 30th of Jan. This is our tenth cache on our stop-over in Dubbo as we return to Melb after the CMF in Tamworth and our fifth today. We again enjoyed a leisurly drive through the bush, away from the flies, to within 190M of the cache location. Maya was in fine form and found the cache easily. The co-ords were very accurate. Run around would be an understatement, but we would have to give it top marks. We took a rubber ball and left a stamp pen. Thanks for the great cache. The Nomads
Did all the first 6 points on Thursday night. I was going to ride out there last night on my pushbike but it had a flat tyre. I borrowed Bronze's car to go out there with and was glad that I did. My car would never have made it. The pushbike probably would of, but with me not riding it. Took M&M's and left 5 golf balls. Thanks to the 80's man for a cool cache.

Yeehar! -
It's so much sweeter doing multicaches and having to come back. The find is that more exciting. Only took a week.
As I said this is perhaps one of the best I've done. A good mix of scapes.
Took Torch and 'Winner' medal for the boys. Can't remember what we left. Was too excited I guess.
Again the scrub posed tracking probs with Lx spinning and variance being 50 to 330 meters. If your carrying an old Magellan add a star to difficulty!

Well what a round about journey. Finally found it after a bit of a bush bash. Co-ords very accurate although scrub caused some problems with readings.
Took the tape and left a ball and key ring
Thanx Team 80

This is probably the best Multi cache I have ever done. The elements beat us on this one for now but we are not giving up by no means. We spent the best part of saturday doing the first part. Ran out of time on Sunday arriving within 300meters at dark on Sunday. Will walk in to the cache itself this weekend coming.
Thanks Team '80' for the fun thus far.
