One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Should you like to resurrect the cache please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache

The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.

If a geocache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance it will not be unarchived.

No response. Archive it

Why are you moving it? Was I right? Did you make it premium member only so I could not see what you were doing?

Law enforcement issue. Immediate archiving. Huge fence erected to keep people out of area where huge rocks are that spell Mount Panorama. No trespassing allowed. People will be charged with trespassing here.Cheers

will have to move

A good walk to test the ankles. Such an iconic sign and a few mobs of kangaroos that wondered why we were there on a wet, cold day. TFTC

What cool walk! Thanks

TFTC great view at night. Log is a bit dirty

TFTC hardest part was getting in

Best cache of the day, great spot and kangaroos all around

11:27:00 AM. Went for a wet walk and grabbed this one. Scared a few roos on the way. Log signed. Thanks Scenic Routers for placing this cache.

Finally ticked this one off after many years. Disturbed a few cache guardians and enjoyed the serenity before the trek back up to the car

Found it thanks to the help from the CO. Hubby did this one, whilst geopooch sat up in the picnic area. A quick find was made at GZ (thanks to the provided help) but a hard slog back up the hill
Once again, many thanks Chuze!
BTW we highly recommend all his caches and Joshwa27's too, they don't disappoint!

Drove to the top of the landmark for a bit of a walk around. Found the cache a little worse for wear up here. TFTC!!!!

Cache has been wet so log was very damp - unable to sign but beautiful view

Another one I've been chasing for ages.. Found a good entry point and trekked in. Cache was soaked and couldn't be signed

Next time I need long pants

After looking at this one for many years now we finally made it into the centre of the track! Lovely mob of roos sleeping at GZ that I felt bad disturbing! Cache log was soaked and we couldn't write in it unfortunately and we didn't have a replacement on us.

Start the trek from the park area and walk across the mountain on a slope. Prickles are horrendous and the walk is not 1.5 diff which is just above wheelchair access. More like a 3.0. Anyway, found it easily and enjoyed the view. TFTC

After the Great Race, I headed south to visit a friend in Canberra. I decided to come back through Bathurst on my return journey north.
Time to tackle some if the caches on that mountain!
If there is a T1.5 route to this cache, I am not sure where it is. The cache is located on the side of a mountain!
I squeezed through a gap in the fence and and made my way to GZ. Once there the cache was quickly located and the log signed

Found it but difficult as area now surround by a fence and hilly

On a road trip to bathurst in our trusty geo mobile we decided some laps and caches were in order. After finding a spot where we could pull over we encountered a fence. Undeterred we found a gap and treked down the hill to the gz. We found the cache and the log was signed and we moved on. Log is very wet. Great hide tftc

A few, slow, hot laps and pulled up safely... a long trek around to an opening in the fence soon had us CIH. TFTC really loving all the caches on the mountain. We come often enough that we only do one or 2 a visit lol

Yays

Ok

Got it. Sent Lezzilla over the fence and down the hill for this one. Of course he left the pen behind...

I'm actually getting paid to do this...

Found it turbo ppl

Yet a fund at last in what is really unenjoyable circuit. Tftc

Hard find but well worth it!

Last time we were in Bathurst we didn't attempt this cache, so as we had returned to conquer the mountain we had this one on our list. Ran into the CO at another nearby cache who offered to show us how to access entry to GZ. A nice walk and a great view from GZ. Nice to catch up with the CO's so soon after the Mega. TFTC

Ttfc

TFTC to easy man

tftc too easy

TFTC

Didn't even bother to attempt as we had so many dnfs and there were many logs showing dnfs. A disappointing day of caching on the Mountain.

Big fence blocking the way. Maybe there is a different access.

Can't find it too lol

Visit

Found, great view.
Sentimental find as I lived near here and went to Uni down the road.
Left a hot wheels, took a trackable

Tftc great view

Tftc gotcha

Could not pick a better day to be on the Mount. Clear skies for as far as the eye can see. Geo kiddies found the cache straight away. Placed Travel Turtle TT230A.

My first cache what a beauty!!

Found this one with sloany17.TFTC

Nice cache, good views

Great walk and an awesome view!! Mount Panorama

Great spot beautiful views on fire with partner in crime me D Taylor

My fav cache find yet. Amazing spot.

Found proper cache. Taken away mint tin, to avoid any confusion. Great location, easy enough to find now, when at gz. Park on top of mount panorama, near mcphillamy park entrance and walk 250 metres, with great views of Bathurst. Thanks scenic routers.

we found the original cache buried under what used to be the caches front door !
the cache was completely waterlogged from being buried it had crept 1.5mts from the original hide
we did not find the replacement, so if you do not find a clip lock small container with a folded A4 log sheet, keep looking, it is exactly where the original was first hidden by The Scenic Routers
Cache on

Decided not to climb over the barbed wire!

thanks for taking us to this area, can park near entrance to McPhillamy park and walk the 250 metres to gz, to avoid the big fence blocking access

Cache must b gone, had an extensive search of GZ and a 40m radius of GZ, took the liberty of replacing cache @ GZ in accordance with the clue an on a perfect 0m (GZ). Will email The Scenic Routers later so if they are not happy with this they then come do their thing and replace my replacement ! Lol. Happy hunting.

Tftc

Opps logged the wrong cache didn't find this one

It was too good for us today

A real highlight of our holiday was driving around the track.

We spent a while trying to get to this cache but in the end couldn't find a suitable way to the area without a long walk in the rain.

I couldn't find this geocache, maybe I'll have better luck next time!

was unsure how to get close enuf to it so coulnt find it

Easy find. TFTC

Cache was full of water. Couldn't sign log as a result.

I so earned this find after climbing through a hole in the fence, hiking through brambles and bushes, scaring the roos, and rearranging the debris under many tree roots. The hint is slightly misleading or the cache has been moved, and I was so determined to find this one I sent an errant roll of unwanted wire fence which was sitting right on GZ hurtling further down the slope! Found at last, but had to pour out the water, and the log, although thoughtfully placed within a zippie bag, was sodden and cannot be written on. I signed a new piece of paper which I wrapped in a Macca's serviette, and placed it in the zippie bag... but it won't last. Carefully replaced it, then worried about how to get back over the fence! Made it back safe and sound. TFTC.

I was very lucky because I had my muggle friend with me when I said that I couldn't dare to go down to get the cache because I wasnt sure if I can go through that one so he dared to go to get the cache for me and when he found the cache and it was a full of water in the containter and he couldnt log it because the paper was waterlogged too so I will put the photo to show that we found it. You may need to replaced this one. Also I wasn't sure what you did put 1.5 for terrain because I wouldnt not go there. I believe that terrain should be a little more than 1.5, I would say 3 but it is your decision. TFTH SL

Great location. Hehe I stepped on the A for a second...
Note though the container was 2/3 full of water.. so I couldn't sign but took a photo instead.

Great Cache, TFTC

Please see the previous log - urgent maintenance is required.

We had some free time in Bathurst this afternoon after caching in the morning. So we decided to head up to Mount Panorama to look for some caches in this very well known area. We were surprised at the number of people who had come to do a lap or two. We did a lap, but it must be the slowest on record as it took about 2 hours looking for the caches. This was the most difficult of the cachers. The first problem was gaining access to GZ. 2m high security fences topped with barbed wire are not that easy to climb over. Instead we looked for away around the ned and eventaully we found our weay to the other side of the fence. It was then a short walk through grasses to get to GZ. We searched for about 15 minutes without success. We were just about to leave when we tried another approach and a more detailed search revealed the cache. On opening the container we found it half full of water and the log was a sodden mess. It was so wet that we could not sign the log. Instead we placed the date and our name in dot impressions into the wet paper. The cache is in urgent need of maintenance. Sorry that we could not complete the maintenance as we didn't have any supplies with us. TFTC Scenic routers.

Climbed down to this one and made a quick find. As per previous logs the container was full of water which meant we were unable to sign. Left the spare paper in the car! This one needs to be looked at. TFTC

#35 in my quest to find 60 caches in one day to celebrate my 60th birthday.

As is the norm for a lot of geocachers we came the hard way to this cache, straight down from the track, and under the cyclone fence. I wasn't impressed when Satanas666 stated that because he had trouble getting under the wire with his lithe frame, I would get stuck with my gut! hahaha, not so! so there...

The cache had water in it, and if left here really needs a more watertight container. Thanks Sr...we think....

An interesting clamber to reach the site. As previously said the cache is very wet. Drained it as best we could. TFTC

I think this should be called "King of the Mountain Goats" or perhaps "Queen of the Mountain Goats" or maybe to be politically correct "Ruler of the Mountain Goats", because that's what I felt like by the time I'd arrived at GZ.
A nice quick find though when we eventually got there.
The cache was full of water, the log quite wet and the pen wouldn't work. Luckily, one of our party had a pencil.
Maybe it needs some maintenance.
Beautiful views. TFTC Scenic routers.

We liked the cache location as it wasn't easy no matter which way you approached.

Great view from gz and we had a good rest and drink when finished.

Many thanks for the cache and location.TNLN.

Mr Bushies2 went down there by himself but couldn't find it...GPSr kept playing havoc so he gave up.

This time took the advice from another fellow cacher and jumped the fence tftc

Bit of a hike the way I went in, a few big Roos out and about tftc

Climb under fence. Tftc

This cache was a challenging one to get to without getting pricked by a plant. Looked around with the help of cyberdoc238 and bushranger5889. Moisture has gotten in and should have replacing. Pen also does not work. Getting past the fence was challenging. TFTC

Water, Moisture has entered the container - pen doesn't work, log book damp. May need replacing!

TFTCSL Found with Gambit-78

[Don't let barriers get in your way,] that includes FENCING!! [Found with Bigmidget and a family of Roos!! TFTC SL TNTL.]

got no idea how to get to this cache help!!!!!!

Or more accurately did not attempt this one the wind chill and the desire to remain close to a warm a retreat had me defeated before I had even begun.

Stopped and had a look, but no luck today - the weather was freezing - we just wanted to get back into the car!

Found it, drained the water out of the container & retrieved Penguin parole for a road trip south.
TFTC

We came at this one from the wrong side of the fence and didn't want to risk try to get over to the other side. Perhaps another time.

Went to have a go for this one but was on the wrong side of the fence and time running out.

Think I dcould imagine where it is though, Will have a look another time.

Quick find after a difficult walk. TB swapped. TFTC.

We had just finished McPhillamy Sunset and were on our way to another cache when we met up with Scenic Routers again (I wonder what he was doing up this mountain ????!!!!) He encouraged us to go look for his cache, so we took his advice and reparked the car. I'm glad we did. The wire fence was easily negotiated (just walk around one end of it near where you turn off for the aforementioned cache) and we started our trek to GZ. We did this cache as part of a video we're putting together for our family, so we did a bit of filming of the area and the cache find. It won't be published, however.

At GZ we searched around for a bit because our expectations had us a little stumped (that wasn't a punning clue by the way) But eventually the cache turned up exactly where the GPS said it was, right near the big Mount Panorama sign.

This cache had great views, a bit of a trek, a decent search and a location at the race circuit, which I always watched as a kid. What more could I have asked for. Thanks for the encouragement, Scenic routers, and for placing this excellent cache.

Having met Scenic Routers again today, we decided to go and do this one of his next- a nice walk, except for the blue stingy weeds (which my eldest complained about all the way) but.. an good cache with directed clues and great views. Take the time to do this one- its well worth it! TFTC

TFTC. Thanks for the introduction to coming to bathist Senic routers!

This was a very well-placed cache, although I must give one warning: There are very painful blue plantsthat stick to you and itch your legs into uselessness. TFTC

There's a huge barb wire fence between the road and cache! Over? Under?

neither under or over ! there are ways "around" the fence was put up to stop the roos at v8 stupid car time, it does have ends !!

It was a bit of a hike with a 4 year old on your shoulders.TFTC SL

sent my hubby to go and get this one cause i had to stay in the car with my 3yo and 3 month old. he came back all sweatty. was a good exercise for him. . he said it was a nice view thou. TFTC

Lots of roos and a great view

My favourite for the day. Disturbed a huge herd of roos who wandered just a little down the hill while i found the cache. Left stretchy alien.

Chasing Quasar around the hill, it seems! Nice view for sure! Have left a few TB, including one for the wine-lovers among you.

J Top did not find it
