Monkey See Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Australia

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.

This location is often flooded, so a new location will have to be found for it.

Checked again and still very wet around here.
Will need to check again in another month.

will be fixed in a few weeks when I return from our northern wander

checked and still very wet. This one will not be available until after the wet months.

The cache is safe and dry, but the access to it is very wet.
Offline until I return from our current trip to check it out

#423 it has been a little time since I have been at the computer to do some logging now it is well and truly time to catch up on the geocache logging and leave the waymarks alone for a little while although it has been fun adding a number of waymarks. Just to keep you all up to date I am on day 124 of continuous caching and have 29 days of caching to log before I am up to date.

This one was done just before the rain set in and with the thought of waiting for some time to get back to this one I decided to go for it and promptly found the X marking the spot but looking up did not see anything so look around and around the location adjacent to the X and eventually was about to give up on my quest when I noticed something on the ground on closer inspection it was a cache container that had a little bit of line attached. This had obviously been dislodged from its correct spot so I collected the container and took it back to the geobus and called the CO to discuss the cache but alas he was on a trip of his own. The decision not to leave the cache turned out to be a good one when the rains came and the area was totally flooded in the latest round of flooding at Wagga Wagga.

Thanks Roostaman and it was great to meat you to return the cache to you.

Took a look at the thistles & chickened out. Already performed first aid on greg for thistles. Maybe next time.

Quite a chalange getting past the vegetation but a good find when we got through

easy find TFTC

Our last find for the day but Mr Bushies decided to have a beer first before attempting this one due to many thorny plants towards GZ...after finished his beer he went down and found it quickly...he reckoned that he should buy a machette to cut down the overgrown thorny plants Thanks Roostaman.

Having been a monkey a number of times over the last few weeks (sometimes dangerously so), this one was a breeze. The hardest part was navigating in through the head-high weeds. TFTC.

Found with o'cholio. Funny watching him disappear into the weeds literally. TFTC

Found it with Morton 83. Greetings from Germany. Tftc

crazy flora thanks for this cache

Worth walking around the weeds

Sweet cache, had a bit of trouble with the log book though. Thanks for fixing this and putting it back online. Lots of prickle bushes on the way to GZ but no real troubles. TFTC.

All fixed again with a nice new cache.
An extra clue has been placed at GZ to point you in the right direction.

Definitely gone, a replacement will be a little while in the making.

Offline now until I can replace it again.

container broken and was found out of hiding place in the open

Found while leaving Wagga after overnight stay. I was interested in seeing this area after the floods. The cache is now accessible but I found the container on the ground. The container is smashed. I found small pieces of the container lodged in a nearby thing so I put it back there. It really needs a new container and paper before it rains again. TFTC SL found!t

Checked again & more water in the area again.
New cache being prepared for placement, so it might be worth waiting
for access before trying this one for a while.

NEF CACHE NEEDS A FAIR BIT OF ATTENTION TFTC

We found this after a bit of a trek to skip the mud and water. I have been wanting to do this one for some weeks but couldn't get anywhere near it. This is really in need of a bit of love and care after the floods as the log is starting to perish and I don't think it is where it should be going by the broken string around the neck of the cache container.

Needs some love after the floods - new log and repositioning.

We found this one, COMPLETELY surrounded by water from the last flood. The two geoteens navigated their way around the HUGE puddle of water and mud. We found this one in its hiding place, but the string holding it was snapped off, and worn out. Some maintenance is required here. We replaced it back on the main truck of the tree, hoping it doesn't fall out or get lost.

tftc Hi Mr Roostaman we actually found this cache sometime ago on our way back from Junee and have only just realised we did not log it, we found it long before all the water rose approximately 8-10 weeks ago . hope to see you a11111111111111111111111

What a fun 4WD track down TFC!

It was a bit damp getting there but it was a nice find. Yet another one spotted first by TCHNurse. TFTC

got very wet trying to find it today after it had been raining last night. good hide

A nice easy find, no problem getting to the cache but no bananas around

TFTC

I expected this area to be under water with recent rain, but as it wasn't the case I walked down to this one, read the description and did what I needed to to grab the bananas. Thanks for your effort.

Found on our Super Wagga weekend with Skullracer1.
Pulled up as close as possible to GZ and took a short....but wet stroll to GZ where it didn't take too long before the cache was in hand.
Everything is so nice and green amongst those huge trees! A lovely area.

#476 @ 9.48am. On our Wagga weekend caching extravaganza with team Haveanez. There seems to be something about "Wagga" and "Micros" . Coming to a location like this and you see that you are looking for a micro the obligatory "buggar" follows. After about 10 mins Dad found the cache - nice to have a smiley face on this one. Looks like some adventurous soul had driven down to this one - pity as it was a nice little stroll to GZ in spite of the wet & actions like this destroys these places.

TNLNSL TFTC Roostaman [^]

Our first find for the day. TFTC SL.

New log sheet in place & good as new again.

OOHH MMYY....another one of these. These type do bring back memories. SL TNLN TFTC.

Spotted easily. Small container! Thanks

Upon finding the X the challenge began. Only to be found quickly.
Could not retrive the log but left a log from us.
TFTC SL & Took Off

When arriving at GZ I was happy to have a really quick find. Could see how this could take some time. Great cache. Enjoyed it.

SL TFTC

Cache had made a slight journey so replaced it where it belongs. Nice little hide.

Lucy junior spotted this one straight away, saving me a lot of trouble. We had to return to the urban assault vehicle for our special log extraction tool, fortunately we had managed to park about 5m from GZ so didn't have to travel far. Once we had safely extracted the log and signed it - yes we managed to squeeze another name on there; we replaced the cache exactly as found and departed for points unknown. Thanks for the cache Roostaman

Out caching with Zak Power Team.

Finally home from Oz Mega and time to log. I let La Kedi be the monkey for this one. We had read the clue on our walk over but just as well we didn't need it as it wasn't until we were leaving that we finally saw it. TFTC

Walked across from The Flats without getting squished by any vehicles, and although I missed the obvious clue to the cache's location, managed to find it after all TFTC! ='.'=

good hide very clever

Found with kwaianna after OZ MEGA, good hide thanks roosterman

1615. I really enjoyed this one. For a bloke in his mid fifties with a crook left ankle a crook right knee and sometimes a lower back problem the last thing I want to think about is monkeys. You must have replaced the log as I found some room to write my find underneath the other finds dated 06/04.10. TFTC. Concealed it a little better then how I found it but in the same spot.

Found in the company of Mooshell. TFTC.

Found on the Oz Mega trip.
Many thanks.

Clever X definetly marks the spot. TFTCSL.

Found after the event wandering the town, TFTC

Found whilst at the Oz Mega Event in the company of Mooshell_22.
Another country cache that was great to visit

TNLN SL TFTC

Found with Zak Power Team. Over from SA for OZ MEGA event. TFTC. SL.

Found on Wagga Wagga Mega caching trip.

Found the cache OK but could not extract the log as had come away from its holder. A clear path leads to the hide area after the weekend. Thanks Roostaman

1309 re-logging due to name change

Nice different cache...try and find the possum next time.

Number 4 of 32 for the day.

Girls caching day

Cheers and thanks for the cache

Visiting for Oz Mega Wagga Wagga from Brisbane and hunting with my regular caching buddy Gunnie69. Thanks for sharing your great city, terrific caches and fabulous hospitality with us. Great to have the opportunity to run in to so many fellow cachers at so many GZs in and around Wagga Wagga!

Had quickly got into the zone this morning so was onto this one fast. Didn't see the possum that we heard later was living right "there"!

Thanks for the cache Roostaman. Cheers, svn07

After trailing another group of cachers for the morning we finally caught up with them at this cache and it was great to meet the Greynomads and even better to meet Jimmymaff as we discovered we share the same name (both given and surname!!).

Anyway, the Greynomads had this one in hand but the log was full so we couldn't make our mark.

Visited Ra's Gecko - SL TFTC

Found with SA_Parrothead and Honeysucker on a little run through Wagga on a Sunday afternoon. TFTC!!

We had to think like a monkey to find this one! And shock, horror - there wasn't another cacher to be seen at this cache! Very sneaky hide though - I liked it!

Found this cache while attending the Oz Mega Wagga Wagga Event.

Quickly found the 'marked' location and a short search later we had the cache in our hands. Signing the log and putting it back into the cache container were the most difficult part of the task for us today

The fun of caching with the geokids - we were almost back to our geovehicle when one of the geokids 'finally relaises' that they still have the lid of the cache container in their hands !!! Dohhh!!! A quick run back to the cache by Mr Ksix and all was put back as it was found !!!

Thanks for the hunt Roostaman

Cheers,
Ksix

Found: 4/04/2010 at 11:21.

Possum still in the tree!. Very clever and took a bit of looking, but log fragile.

Followed the geotrail to GZ, then spotted the obvious hint, then found the cache but I'll be buggered if we could get the damn log sheet out.
Nice hide Roostaman (which I am more than happy to describe if necessary) but our name isnt on the log sheet so if this log needs to be deleted feel free to do so.

Approached this Geocache with another couple from the USA, GZ was good and we could see the x. Hmmmm, then we began looking. All was over soon and the monkey (GIB96) grabbed it for us. The log was full so we replaced it with some paper from our notebook but had trouble keeping it on the little stick and there was one stuck in the container. May need to be looked at after the OZ Mega event with so many visits. Even found a possum up the tree. SL TFTC

The title of this cache came in handy this morning and Svn07 spotted the container almost immediately...

As it was bang in the middle of Mega Event time though, the log was full and we were unable to sign it. So, to complete the puzzle and earn the find, I will send an email to the owner as suggested in the page content for the event weekend.


Cheers Roostaman.

Found during the Mega Event in the company of Team_Ninja and Last of the Time Lords.

This was a very full micro, log book maxed out for the event. We could therefore not sign it but can provide a photo with the cache for the owner if needed.

Thanks

We grabbed this one while attending the OZ Mega Wagga Wagga. The amount of times that this cache has been and will be found this weekend should make it qualify for a record.
Many thanks to Roostaman for setting up this cache.

Found at the Oz Mega Event with Team_Ninja and TeamGeoplesk.
TNLN TFTC

We spotted the possum sleeping above, or at least we spotted his backside that was poking out. Mrs Wibble soon found and retrieved the cache, and we even managed to find a spot on the logbook to squeeze in a log.

Thanks Roostaman!

(edit to fix date - damn fieldnotes!)

found with gib69, SL TNLN TFTC.

Found fairly quickly. With Mrs TiedyeSmileys' wing in a sling, Mr TiedyeSmileys was the monkey today. Took more time trying to extract the paper from the container than it took looking for the cache. Finally managed it with the aid of some tweezers.
TFTC

found it when attending OZMEGA

Hmm, that is a one very squashed in log... Just to make it worse I will log my D coin in and out.

Found as part of the Mega Event. Yeee Haaarrr

Found during the Mega Event. A great time was had by teaming up with a number of geo friends and meeting others at the cache site. TFTC

Found with Little Red Shoes attending Ozmega event. Part of the log was squished into the container, so we were unable to sign, but suffice to say I made like a monkey to retrieve and replace.
The possum sleeping in the fork of the tree didn't seem at all peturbed by the racket below.
Great hide - TNLN. TFTC

A very clever hide. Thanks for the cache

Was searching a while until another group of cachers turned up. They found it easily, and we singed the log
TNLN SL TFTC

Found with WalW and Jemmalong and Blue_Mars whilst at Oz Mega Event

Found whilst in Wagga for the Mega Event.

Luckily, as we approached this one, others cachers had got there first, and they had a suitable lad. He had found the cache. We signed it, and suggested that the lad might like to hire out his services to the next arrivals. I think going on to the next cache might have been more appealing....

Thanks for the cache.

Found on the way into town to complete the Oz Mega activities and some of the local caches. Thanks.
Log was full (sorry, I had nothing to replace with), so will email a photo of the container to confirm ( won't be able to do that until I get home tomorrow night).
TFTC.

Found with TeamGeoPlesk and Last of the Time Lords on the morning we were leaving Wagga. There was a well-defined track all the way to GZ after a truckload of cachers had trampled through to the cache over the weekend. A tricky hide, but not tricky enough for us! TNLNSL, TFTC.

Found with Black Bunny while in Wagga for the Mega.
Thanks for the cache.

1309 There was absolutely nowhere to put my caching name so I signed by initials. The "X" has gone but the cache sticks out a bit. TFTC Roostaman

Found during our trip to Wagga for the Oz Mega Event. Thanks

2010-04-05 14:55:49 This was an easy find and for us a drive by. We parked at the GZ and spotted the cache. I could not get the log out of the container as it had come of the holding device so I guess you may have to replace the log soon.
Regards
Crisp Image and Family

Had 2 attempts at this cache. On my first visit yesterday a possum had decided to make the said tree it's daytime sleeping place.

On this visit the possum had moved on, no doubt unhappy about all the geodisturbance of the previous day. This time I found the cache and found a tiny corner of the log to sign. TFTC Roostaman.

Wow, just follow the caching trail.
Found with Hoojar, Nighteez and Ding.
Cheers

Oz Mega visit with Jemmalong & Family, Gribbly and Blue Mars.
TNLNSL, thanks for the cache,
best wishes,

Another find while attending the mega event. Arhh another micro, but thankfully it was located quickly. TFTC

Found with sully1, followed the geotrail that was very obvious and had the same problem with the log being full

Found whilst wondering around with Cached, Robtas and the President and 1st Lady whilst attending the OZ MEGA event - TFTC

Another Mega Event find that I hadn't gotten to logging. Was a great weekend, thanks for providing caches for us to find!

This was my first solo traditional cache in Australia -- yes, my second week on the continent and this is the first traditional cache I found on my own. I mustered some help on the one just across the road to verify that I was indeed still capable of finding a cache (though the son of the team was the one that spotted it first). Once I knew I did still have a bit of skill, I came to this cache to verify that I could cache alone (though I was well on my way to acquiring over 700 new best geocaching mates! ) I"ll blame it on the 14 hour flight and say that it took a week to get the searching part of my brain to decompress... yeah, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Enjoyed monkeying around for this one. TFTC!

Found with SuperJaz and Bewilderbeest at the mega weekend. It was amazing how much of a path had been worn straight to the cache. I hope it gets better.

Thank you thank you!!!
