As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available 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. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Day Two of our Gold Coast to Melbourne road trip. Planning to pick up just a couple of caches on the way. This cache took us for a great walk through the scrub. We parked on the Newell & walked maybe 400m through the bush to GZ . The cache container is fairly rusty, as are many of the swapables. Signed the log. Left a thong keyring.

Dipped some trackables that we're currently bringing down to Melbourne.

Cache offline for maintenance

Nice walk found near fence line needs looking after thanks for hide

Cache needs refreshing tin has rusted out & needs new log

easy walk thru the bush to the cache and then there is a track right beside it but no idea where it starts.
Unique container possibly the original for this very old cache.

If you don't watch where you are walking seed collecting tends to be involuntary. Wish I'd read further BEFORE I had negotiated the fence. TFTC.

Nice walk in to the bush, TFTC.
You can believe how old it is by looking at the tin!
Took path tag and left card + pen.

Well this one was certainly interesting. It was bright and early, and as we neared the cache, we pulled into the first driveway. We spotted a bushland reserve sign and decided it would be OK to grab this one. We parked on the highway in-line with the cache and spotted a gate toget us in the bush From then on, it was a straight-line bush bash

The cache was quickly discovered, and yes it certainly is rusty. Couldn't believe this one has been around for almost 9 years.

A nice walk through the bush back, and we were soon on our way back to the MEGA

Found on dusk by geoson while geoparents were crossing back over the fence they didn't need to cross. For those looking for parking, we parked just off highway at S32 07.389 E148 34.807 which is right next to a gate that you can walk through and then only 400m to cache. This is closest point along highway to cache. As one other log said there is a road just North of cache but wasn't sure of access point, plus we were hoping to hear some birds on our walk (except I think they must have all gone to bed already). TFTC

Made the walk from the Hwy. It was a good 400mtrs from where i parked lonesilentwolf,
Found fairly easy, the tin is a bit rusty and the contents are stained, may need the owner to repair.

I had a quick look at this cache on my way home from a wedding in Walgett, but unfortunately I did not have time to get out and walk to the location. There is a spot for parking near one of the gates, it's just off the road north of the cache. Next time I am passing through I'll make sure I make some time to check this one out.

Found at last was a bit of a walk from where I parked though.

I would add our name to those asking for a parking waypoint. We had a drive around but it all appeared fenced and private property and we couldn't find access. Given those reasons, we skipped this cache which we would otherwise have done.

Second last cache on day one of our return journey North.
A rest after negotiating Dubbo.

There is a hole in the tin

Geo mum on long walk with no pen. a parking way point would be great for us out of towners. cahce is all rusted and needs to be replaced as the swaps are all rusted and wet as well.tried to sign the log with all three pens got the date but only a indent of our name so you can just work out that we were there.

Found with Lordjimbob55 on our way North to lightning Ridge. The cache container is rusted out and the contents have been very wet at some time recently... Otherwise a great area for a quick walk.

Can I suggest that you add a "suggested parking" co-ordinates wayoint to help cachers find the gate to get in?

Drove around and around for almost an hour until we found a gate.
Found with DrDroid, Tentaces and KRangergirl.
TNLN

Our first find in an adventurous day introducing 2 beginners to Geocaching. Nice to walk thru native bush without the nasty prickles.

Our first in a big afternoon geocaching with Tentacles & K Ranger girl.
Struggled to find a path in & i'm sure we didn't go the best was in the end.
Container starting to leak - needs some maintenence.
TFTC

Nice spot tricky little dirt road though. Lots of rocks and logs and pot holes so please be careful
TFTC

Found it 12:37 while heading South to OzMaga...

Like some others discovered a fence along h/way - but also a gate just adjacent to where GPS indicated 'turn left & go off road'

After a few hundred meters through numerous spiders webs & ant nests (large on right at gate making opening & closing a quick step afffair ) arrived & GZ to see gravel track about 10 mtrs away...

Container showing signs of age & environmental exposure, though stil relatively dry inside...

Thanks to Team Geo-Nads for the cache

Off for a night at the Zoo now...

Not sure if we parked in the right spot here, but there seamed to be an easier way out then in. TFTC, TNLN.

19th find of my Dubbo trip.
I had to go over a fence, did I park in the wrong spot.
Suggest a parking spot maybe [?]
Nice walk, TFTC

Nearly gave up trying for this one for the lack of finding a suitable place to park the trike and camper, but up and down the road a couple of times and parked where I am sure we were meant to park. TNLN TFTC

Watch out for snakes! Long standing cache! TNLNTFTH

10:30am nice walk in this area saw a couple of BIG roos , and Mrs K took photos of wildflowers great spot, Thanks for bringing us here-Team Geo-Nads

I was a little worried about bush bashing that far to the cache, but once starting out I could see that my fears weren't justified.
The log was full and the container is more than a little worse for wear. They will both need replacing.
Cheers.

The container is showing rust after six years in the wilderness. Thanks for the reason to stretch our legs, some of these road side caches do not offer such an excuse!

Cheers

Parked off the Hwy and walked around in the bush for a while to find this cache. Geowife was a bit paranoid after coming across a snake at the Black Queen in Lightning Ridge but none in sight today.
Cache tin and contents very rusty, may need some maintenance in the near future.

Found at 8.40am GAFF3. We parked the van on the side of the Newell and then walked the 440 metres to GZ through gentle flat bush. It's always an experience to just stop in the middle of nowhere and just go bush to see what's there. Didn't see any evidence of seed gathering, just some pieces of asbestos lying around.
Thanks Team Geo-Nads.

TFTH Found it after a fair walk in the drissle. TNLN

Found this one whilst out chaching with geodaughter.
TNLN TFTC

Great spot to start the day. The cache was full of water, the logbook fairly full and damp. Didn't have a large enough container on hand but put some waterproof paper in, incase of another deluge. TFTH

Nice walk, we could have done with sock savers as shoes and socks full of burrs, will no next time to be prepared. Quick find TFTC

an old chook visited

A lovely walk into a pituresque bit of natural vegetation with plenty of colourful wildflowers out in bloom. No sock savers were necessary and I didn't encounter any webs. TFTC.

After a shower of rain on a fine and sunny day this was a lovely walk through a natural forest. I'm not too keen on spiders but I think that they had hidden from the rain which pleased me. TFTC TN left token.

Enjoyed a very nice walk through the scrub, with flowers galore. Very picturesque. Thanks for the cache!

Cache needs some attention:- new log book and cleaning as water has entered the container.
TNLNSL.

Finally we have done this one! Cache in good order. Did the 400 metre walk and only got a couple burrs! Found a bit of a path and followed it. Took Floppy Flyer and left a bear toy. Thanks.

talk about getting lost in the bush

Walked in 400 or so metres from a service road near the highway, cost me a pair of socks so covered in burrs were they. Send new socks!!

Placing Coin

Retrieving Coin.

good spot took horse left embi coin no 6

Lovely walk in the bush after far too long sitting in the car. Thanks for the hunt.

I have to admit that having topo maps of the area helped a lot... drove to within a few meters of cache... so didn't have to walk too far. Another interesting local spot I didn't know about. Didn't swap anything this time. Thanx Nads

Nice little walk in the bush, thanks.

I could not find the track that went by the cache, bt the walk in the scrub was fun. Thanks.

An enjoyable and not too long walk into the forrest before an easy find. TNLN and thanks to Team Geo-Nads for the walk and cache.

I parked next to the cache which was fortunate as I needed a tool to open the cache. Don't see to many caches like this these days, surprising good at keeping water out. Removed pocket knife as not recommended as swap items. TFTC

Nice little stroll in to get this one. Easy find. No swaps, thanks Team Geo-nads.

stopped on side of road and made geowife walk in. 20 of 44.

Interesting trek by 2wd and foot. Left Geocoin and took dog clip.

Thanks

Missed the turn into this one so had to do the 200m dash through the scrub with the geokid on my shoulders. Took TB left bouncy balls and an eraser.

found by baby&Mrs gopher at 0910.Very interesting drive in to get to within 20 mtres of GZ.On our way home to Wagga Wagga after our trip Queensland.took nothing Left TB Ramon Tnx Geo-Nads

... had a bit of time left before I was supposed to meet some cachers in Dubbo, and after being dissapointed at 'Horror - Scope', thought why not.
A nice little walk through the bush - cache still there [^] SL, time to make that that coffee appointment. TFTC

Found a pleasant little side track into this cache.
-a sylvanian, +a barbie.
Cheers, TFTH.

Found the cache at 5.30pm. Enjoyed walk along to the cache. Took: Soldier, Left mouse. Thank you for organise the cache and hunt.

Driving past on my way home from a job out of town, so decided to give this one a go. Nice stroll from the road, nice easy find. Didn't spot any wildlife or spiders on the way.

Took car, left electrical tape.

kiso.

We too decided to drive here and almost got bogged in a soft sand spot. Very nervous moment indeed - Oh for a 4X4. TFTC

once we found the righ track , that was after the front wheels of the little 80 crusier fell into a washout, and made life interesting for a while .. this was a easy cache to find nice spot have been past here a few time never realised it was here
thanks

After having a great week visiting the Bronze this was the first cache on my track back to QLD. I made the trek in from the highway and found the cache easy. Thanks for the cache

Lots of spider webs along the way to this cache. Glad they build up higher in the trees and bushes. They must do it for all the wallabies and roos that pass under. The Queensland ones don't build high, so you can't duck under them.

Nice quick find after another nice walk in the surrounding bushlands. TFTC. TNLN.

found it easy nice walk tnln

I don't know whether I was supposed to walk from the highway or not, but chose to drive my way through the maze of small tracks. After making my way to GZ, the cache itself was obvious and presented no problem at all. No swap was made. Thanks for the cache.

Very pleasant area and able to drive within a few metres. Took cricket ball, left bottle opener. Left heaps of flies!!
TFTCSL

Nice bush walk, managed not to make any spiders homeless but only just. Took clips and left cricket ball. Thanks guys.

Just droppped the Bug off

This is a lovely walk through the bush. Almost far enough from the highway to not be able to hear the traffic. Left soldier and took ring watch. Thanks

Drove to within 300 and choose to walk the rest to preserve the paint, found very easy.
TNLNSL, Thanx

Found at 9.05am
OUR 900TH FIND!!!!
and what a pleasant cache it was.
We walked in from the Newell through light open forest.
Cache found easily.
TNLN
Thanks
K&M

Track! What track? Oh, that track.
The quickest route from point A to point B is not always a straight line, but it was a interesting route this time. Thanks TNLN, cache a bit wet.
P.S. Doing a three point turn on wet sandy soil in a VL is fun but not the best idea at sunset 13 km from town on a bush track.

Found this cache as part of Team Horizons on the Dubbo Gold Rush Weekend.

TNLNSL

Thanks Team Geo-Nads!

Found during the Gold Rush Event w/ KittenPie, Swampgecko and Riblit.

After parking the Advance Recovery of Kache mobile in a dodgy spot by the road, Team Mind Socket hitched a ride with the Grey Headed ones for a 700m (as the crow flies) adventure in 3 point turns, and _not_ getting stumped.

This was our last cache for the Saturday afternoon, and the piece of blue metal that made it's presence in my brakes known as we arrived back at HQ probably came from here.

3:44pm
These big distances between the outer caches are taking their toll, the car is now brown, but blends in really well in large mud patches now.

Heading down the newell towards Dubbo, we pulled in to do this one. Again, it was raining lightly so only 2 of us did this one as the girls made some lunch and had that. A bit of a walk in as we do not have a 4x4. Eventually we did get to it and there were a set of fresh tyre tracks right to it.

We swapped some vampire teeth for a ring watch, hid it back and left via a slightly shorter route, partly following track, mostly just through the bush.

Cheers

Found this as part of Gold Rush Weekend. Nice area.

TNLNSL

Thanks Team Bluedog

After webguy let it slip there were tyre tracks at the cache we drove around a found a way in on a track not on my maps. Logged the cache and drove out on another track.
Needed the help of caching tool 520 here.

Took an unmarked track in, Riblit managed to get the frogmobile to within 30mts, could of gotten closer but there was no need.

This was a really nice little walk. We found the cache without any trouble. Such a quite place. No-one would hear you scream!!

We took the little Alabama Geocaching Association coin for a visit and will log it for the kms before it's big trip to Sydney tomorrow.

Took utility knife and left pedometer.

Thanks Nads

Found cache on way back from Queensland, it was great to get out for a walk to find it.Put in key ring and took out red racing car. Thanks Team Geo-Nads.

Found it,What a top spot would never have ever gone here if not for this geocaching,took ball of string left teeth from other cache,excellent spot thanks.Ps;The spider webs are still here.

Seed Pods?! Guess everyone needs a hobby.
Was able to drive within 30 metres of it - but having said that - found a much easier way out then we did going in.
Thanks for the cache.
Took the Puffer Travel Bug.

Found this one easily. Tried to find it a couple of days earlier but had trouble taking the camper trailer down some of the tracks.

A nice peaceful spot without flies or spiders.

Left i! Neville TB. Hopefully someone will pick him up soon because he likes to be near water (but sometimes gets lost.)

Thanks Geo-Nads

had fun doing this one no trouble to find
thanks geo-nads

Needed the walk to stretch the legs! Making the trip home spin out. Took the Jeep and left some coloured pencils. Thanks Team Geo-Nads.

found 12.35pm needed the walk tnln cheers

found this one at 11.49am a good 1 for the passer byers seen lots of kangaroos and wallabys heading into this one. Great spot for a cache. Took fishing hooks and left hanging clips. Thanx Geo-Nad's.

Found again by qeograndma Maya, and Ray, at 10:45AM on the 30th of Jan. This is our sixth cache on our stop-over in Dubbo as we return to Melb after the CMF in Tamworth. We enjoyed a leisurly drive through the bush, away from the flies, to the cache location. We even managed to spot some wild life (and numerous spiders, as advertised). We took a hand painted pet rock and left a star candle. Thanks from The Nomads.

Found by Jaxon of Team Bronze this morning at 11.40. Absolutely perfect caches for the kids. They were so wrapt at their discovery. In true Red Ochre fashion couldn't help but drive right up to it but had it been our forst for the day I would have prefered to park on the highway and enjoy the walk in.

Swapped Tennis ball and Geko Nads Pet Rock for Cars, Feather and Toy horse.

Jaxon, Chandler and The Bronze.
