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.

given the previous logs and no action has been carried out this one should be fixed or the location given up for another to use the area has seen flooding and not sure of when the water level was high last time in that area I did not find any remains of a cache or any evidence of one being at GZ and from you previous cache I found in Grenfell this one must be in the hands of the gods, it appears to have completely disappeared. with it being last found 06 Jul 2011. and in need of maintenance then.

Found this one today out on the ground. Well and truly in need of maintenance. Couldn't fix today sorry. You will need to replace container and put in new log sheet. Thanks for the series.

Got to this one today and made a quick find. The container is in need of being replaced, sorry didnt have one on me. TFTC The Sundowners

Found it!

well we found what was left of it, COMPLETLY destroyed and needs ergent maintenance, looks like a cow chewed it and spatt it back out. Would have replaced for you if we had one with us at the time. TFTC anyways

Found what is left it, cache is completely destroyed. Would have left a new container if we had one at the ready.

Cache is completely destroyed. Would recommend archiving till replaced.

We've fixed it up as best as we could but it looks like a fox got curious

Found it but highly damaged

Found it but highly damaged

A short round trip to this part of the world and the chance to do some caching along the way.
Again we battled the grass and prickles. The cache is soaked and log very wet.

Nice quick find with th kids, very long grass and a few burrs.

Quick drive by on my way south.

Reperio at 1000. Talk about making yourself an easy target for snakes. After parking a close as I could possibly get, the short walk to GZ was quite slow, being on the lookout for anything that moved. Once at GZ, I went to the prime spot for a cache, and couldn't find it. Had a bit of a poke around in the waist high long grass, and after walking around in circles a bit, the cache location was finally found hidden among the grass.

Gratias.

Quick find, however after recent rains vegetation is knee deep. TNLN thanks.

stopped for a cuppa and took a walk TFTC Took Dolphin left cat.

Found with McPhan. TFTC.

3347. [font=Comic Sans Ms][green]Pulled up in the carpark to find ourselves a bit short. So drove down the road and ended up parking further away than the first time. I'm nothing if not consistent as in bad. Managed to grab the first few grass seeds of the season too!

Rated: for Overall Experience

With all the rain it was a bit muddy just getting from the carpark to the pavilion today [:o]
It was lunchtime and so after finding the cache I sat down and had a bite to eat before continuing my caching journey
TFTC.
I took Buggity Bug travel bug with me.

Found with Black Bunny. I think I'd recommend retiring this one - some of the rubbish in the area is quite disgusting. I'm sure it was nice when placed, but people can be careless and yucky.

The Mad Bunnies are off on another adventure - this time on a cache PLACING trip. We are on a mission to place some caches for Geocaching Australia for the 150th Anniversary of the Burke and Wills expedition.
Nice little walk to this one. Thanks, Sundowners.
Unfortunately the container is cracked. We didn't have a replacement handy. We cleaned out the rubbish, and put it back.

Found at 11.30.

Great overnight van spot.

Took Geocoin.
Left TB Butterfly.

Our 2nd cache with Melbermans. nice walk through the grass. nice weekend with cousins, aunt & uncle & grandma

4stubbiestravelling north took the time to wander here. Glad it wasnt summer wouldnt like to do this one then.

Found cache whilst visiting family in nearby Grenfell on our trip from New Zealand. NIce easy find. TFTC.

This was my first visit back "home" where I grew up, since taking up geocaching. Started with this one down near the Nags Head Bridge, just a few km's down the road from the farm where Mum and Dad still live. This spot was the scene of many local gatherings under the banner of the "Nags Head Bridge Aquatic Club", started during one of the many droughts that have plagued the district, and designed to get all the local farmers together to "drown their sorrows" in the dry creek bed! This was usually held on the long weekends, and generally featured some sort of fireworks display (back in the days when you could still buy them!), a bonfire and plenty of grog! Us kids would usually set off on our adventures in the dark, climbing underneath the old wooden bridge, throwing rocks at roadsigns and seeking out wildlife in the trees by torchbeam. Back in 1999, the old wooden bridge was replaced with the one there today, with the bitumen track leading toward the rest area through the creek serving as a detour while the new bridge was built. The sign on the shelter proclaiming it as the "Judith Mitton Pavilion" is a light-hearted jibe by one of the local farm pranksters, and refers to a lovely woman who still lives a short distance away on Pinnacle Road and was instrumental in the formation of the Guinea Pig Racing Club, which holds "race" meetings during the Henry Lawson Festival on the June long weekend. Well worth a look for a bit of fun if you're around at this time of year. The cache itself is an easy find, and is in great condition. There is a bit of water in the billabong at the moment, which is a nice change from the last few years when water was a lot more scarce. Thanks Sundowners, for taking me back to this place and reliving some fond memories!

Nice walk to stretch the legs and a cache as well. TFTC

No: 3 in the series for us today. I cant say I had the probs with mozzies that previous finders have had, but there were some about.
While jnr Rat and I did the cache the rest of the family took in the info from the bridge plaque.
Thanks

Found on a mega caching trip to Dubbo

Found at 16:50 with frogdude and frogbabe - the thirtieth on our Dubbo weekend.

The mozzies at the previous cache had phoned up the mozzies living near to this cache, and told them that all the ingredients necessary for a big party were on the way. And so we were greeted by a swarm of them as we trekked through the bush. I got so distracted that I signed the logsheet, put the cache back, then found that I'd brought the logbook back with me to the Stealth GeoBeast. So I ran the gauntlet again, replaced the book, and raced back to the closed windows of the Stealth GeoBeast. And off we went, windows now down to get rid of those mozzies that had followed us inside.

Looks like it would be a good place for a cuppa in non-mozzie season - it's probably why the guinea pig races are held then...

Thanks Sundowners

Short detour soon had this one in hand.
JABs.

Found on my west by nor west caching lookaround. Altho I could have looked for this one tomorrow saved time by adding it to today's list. TFTC

Another good spot for a break TFTH

It had been raining heavily when I found it. The nearby creek was overflowing and running fast, but the cache was not in any danger. Contents still dry. TFTC.

Nice visit,

Another easy one hardest thing was dodging the swarms of grasshoppers TNLN TFTC.

an old chook visited

Beaten again, but hey I got to enjoy the natural bush surrounds. TFTC.

Oh that gerrynewgirl! I put too much emphasis on the hint and poked my hand into a muddy hole in a stump but no, it couldn't be there. Good co-ordinates then took me right to the cache, so I was a bit bemused by the hint. TFTC TN left token.

Eba ended up driving almost to the cache to pick me up after I found this one. Nice peaceful spot today.

Another van friendly spot and a nice quick find. Though while walking through the long grass I was a bit jumpy to every little noise...

Thanks to The Sundowners for the cache.

Only one to find in this series.

Sorry it has taken me so long to log this one. Cache location was accidentally edited in GPS so we ended up crossing a paddock a kilometer East of ground zero before determining something was wrong and returning to where we thought the cache was in the first case. Then it was an easy find with Team Gumby.

On my way to nyngan from melb

GOOD SIZE, great hide I was scared i might see a snake here but luckily they were some where else.

Cheers

Dorik and friends.

Great spot for a coffee break while the women got the morning tea ready i went for a short stroll to find the 3rd cache for today. Took a rubber bear and left a tyre gauge.
Thanks Sundowners.

a quick stop on the way through, SL TN LN

We pulled up here and there were people using the picnic facilities and we thought that we may not be able to complete this one, looked at the distance on the GPSr and realised that it wouldn't be a problem. The GPSr led us to a very likely location that turned out to be correct.

Thanks again Sundowners

Found 13:55, a nice easy find.

TNLN, thanks to The Sundowners.

Just a short stroll into the setting sun to find this one. Thyanks Sundowners.

Another cache bites the dust on the Presidential Xmas Tour.

Thanx Sundowners

There were muggles nearby this one, so I zipped around the corner & stealthed it back via the bush to sneak up on it.
