"Bug Exchange" Yass, New South Wales, Australia
By The Sundowners on 03-Sep-05. Waypoint GCQDA0

Another one that my app didn't log! Found with Indianagleeson and geokids on 23/2/12

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.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am 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 28 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.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

As this cache has had 3 maintenance requests and no one has been able to find this since November 2013 the CO must not be interested in maintaining this cache (that is a shame), it should be archieved.

Not here

This is gone for sure.
had a very good look
no joy

This is gone for sure.
had a very good look
no joy

The cache has been muggled (previous finder, Rapidlywild, can confirm) . CO may wish to replace/archive as appropriate. Cheers

The long weekend has arrived for us Canberrans, so what better way to spend it than to team up once again with Rapidlywild and set off for Wagga for what was to be another epic geomission?

RW did the driving-so we just had to make sure she was topped up with water and “Mother” from the esky to keep her going safely, whilst I provided the entertainment lol [:O)] We had a great days caching on Saturday, and Sunday’s effort ended in an epic 22hr day on Monday when we arrived back home with a big caching hangover lol. Craziness! [:O)]

Unfortunately this one is definitely gone. Rapidlywild had found this one previously and confirm that the cache is no longer there . CO may want to replace/archive as appropriate.

Thanks anyway, The Sundowners.

TK2 and I had a good look around and we think cache had been muggled

24 of 31 in a wander over the border to the shire of Yass for a fun way to spend Australia Day....except for the 5 DNF's of course. Actually THIS was the cache I was coming out here today for so it was very disappointing to note it was gone. Not so much the cache itself but I had a travel bug that I wanted to get on it's way to Wagga Wagga so thought this would be a good staging post for it. Considered my options in this nice picnic spot and pondered what to do given most of the Yass caches were too small for the size of the TB. Hmmm.... well....I've made it this far I may as well go further.... Bowning here I come....

Methinks this is gone

No found...

No sign of cache although plenty of hidey holes. Muggled???

Pretty sure we were looking in the right spot and there was nothing here.

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

Looked everywhere for this one as I wanted to leave not a duck but even after phoning a friend could not locate it. This one may be gone.

Spent a good bit of time searching for this one but no luck, may have been muggled?

Found it. No muggles and no TB's to be seen. Left a Round Tuit. TFTC

A nice quiet location, no muggles today. TFTC TNLN SL

Found nice and easy but a little deflated to see no bugs never mind just wish people would log them when they get them

SL TFTC

Found nice and easy but no TBs and it still says 10 never mind nice spot though

I dropped past here today to check out some of the TBs listed as being in this cache, but there were none here. A bit disappointing. Perhaps you could mark them as missing. Thanks

For TB

TFTC left "chip and dale" TB

Easy find on the way to Temora. I actually forgot to sign the logbook, sorry! But I took the "Croc Hunter" trackable and the only one left is the two rabbits one. All the other ones listed are not there anymore, as far as I recall. TFTC!

Found during my stay in NSW. First week we were at Sydney, since I went there to attend a conference. We did quite a lot of walking around this astonishing town. Most of the caches were just small mint boxes or nanos, but that is to be expected in such a big city. I'm especially thankful for all the bigger caches that were easier to find, since my time for the geocaching was somewhat limited.

After the first week we rented a car and went to explore the NSW national parks. Since the Blue Mountains were closed due to bush fires (hope all is well now), we went a 1000km to see Mungo park. We saw a lot of kangaroos, emus, wombats and some koalas in the wild. On our way back to Sydney we visited Canberra and some beautiful parks north of it. We enjoyed the drive-in view that allowed us to see more beauty in shorter time. We spent last day in Royal National Park where we fooled around at a beach and in the waves. We did a short walk on a cost track, which showed as how beautiful the ocean and the coast really are.

Unfortunately, we had to head back to our country ;-( I hope we get to visit NSW again some day.

Thanks for every cache there.

Great spot just off the highway.
Good hide and great idea for a travel bug exchange.
I took a TB and please excuse me for not leaving any. We are heading overseas in 2 days and would like to relocate this somewhere different. It will be our aim to find a few overseas and will relocate some back to this cache if we can.
SL TFTC

Nice and easy. We both got the hint at the exact same time. TFTC

Such a pity when tbs are lost there was only two out of the 12 listed in here. I took 2 and dropped 3

tftc took none left none

Great for the kids!! TFTC!

Had to make a quick grab while the lawnmower man work doing his thing.

A quick find - TFTC

No trackables when I got here, so I left three.

TFTC.

We used to stop here as kids but now just drive past. Great to call in. TFTC

Only 3 trackables - took one and dropped one TFTC

Nice easy find!

These are the kind of caches we like while on a long drive home. Quick & easy. No travel bugs to collect.... thanks for cache!

Only one traceable in this cache unlike notice which has 11
People need to log when taking.
Great hiding place well done

Saw no trolls. TNLN TFTC

Quick find. TNLN TFTC

Would have been a nice place to overnight in the van but it was too early in the afternoon to stop yet. A quick find was made but sadly I think the troll got a bird here as there were lots of beautiful coloured feathers and a wing near GZ. Thanks.

Our 14h cache for the day as we head to Gundagai for the night.

I've been meaning to get this one for a few years now. Tftc

Such a lovely location for a hide, picked up Travel Bug.

Found it with fifican. Took the travelbug, will place in new location. Loved the description for this hide.

Nice simple find. As previously stated the 10 tbs identified are definitely not within the cache. I have left one of mine within to hopefully make it on its next leg of its journey. Good luck TB. Thanks for hide

No trolls no bugs no sunshine no muggle made for a easy find. Thanks The Sundowners FTC.

Yep

Found easily on road trip Sydney to Melbourne. Took tb.

TFTC!

We also stopped at this cache. A nice place.
Thanks and best greetings from Sydney
Team sissifalke

As it was school holidays we made an overnight trip to Wagga with the Geokids and jusojara to get some numbers up for the Scouts Geocaching Comp.

This was our first stop and the Geokids loved the swaps. TFTC

Would be a nice spot to break a journey if the weather was nicer. Just a quick stop to drop off a travel bug which I had picked up in Canberra. It has come from Finland and is travelling around the world.

Even though I knew it wouldn't be in there, I still checked the hole in the tree near GZ. To my fright there was a possum in there! Why is seeing animals in the wild so weird? Nice quick find, thanks.

Nice trip to visit family in cootamundra finding caches on the way with Frances tftc

Logging retroactively, TFTC

~Al-Kemyst

This was a quick and easy find, though I think it worth noting that there is not a single trackable item in it. TFTC, The Sundowners!

This was a quick find on our way from Canberra back to Melbourne. TFTC

Quick grab while driving past.

Quick grab. TFTC

FOUND WITHOUT A PROBLEM, 8.30pm, 20/6/13, WOW MANY LOGS, THANKS.

Dropped off two little trinkets and collected 1 trackable

Nice night cache. Dropped off a trackable that needs to get to America. Took the geo-coin to Canberra.

Seven bugs listed as being in this cache, but there was only one to be found.
Not to worry, we dropped off seven bugs and took one with us. I had been hoping to drop these guys in Canberra, but the terrible weather over the weekend put a stop to our caching plans.

Had some fun with this cache. We had been here before, so knew just where to go. Unfortunately, the area wasn't empty of people as it was on our last visit. This time there were people cooking nearby. How long would they be there?? Geohusband sat in the car, giving me the signal of when it was safe to go. I ended up hiding at GZ until they drove away! Lots of fun had, and plenty of laughs when we got back on our way.

TFTC.

Dropped off tb green hummer but no other tbs here. Took nothing.

easy done

quick roadside stop by tftc

Leaving Yass short stop, and a quick find.TFTC

Attempted this a couples of time but the spot was always full of muggles but not one in sight today and we soon had the cache in hand. Being a Bug Exchange without a TB is a bit sad so we dropped off a TB to continue his travel, hopefully southward. TFTC Sundowners

A great TBH cache on the way north.
Many thanks to The Sundowners for breaking the journey.............Cheers.

Swapped orange bead for pen lid

Day 3 of the ANZAB Canberra / Yass / Goulbourn AGM weekend.

Following the AGM the long long trip home.
Having brought a few trackables with me for the trip, I decided on a quick fuel stop at Yass and a chance to swap trackables.
Sadly the inventory didnt quite match what was in the box so I ended up leaving more than I took.

Thanks for bringing me here and thanks for the opportunity to swap trackables.

My apologies to the cache owner for the exceedingly large delay in logging this find.
For quite a few months life has had an awkward habit of generally getting in the way of caching. Not completely enough that I havent been able to go searching and occasionally finding, but certainly enough to when it actually came around to writing and logging the finds. I can only apologise for any records, karma targets or unloved cache days that have been skewed as a result of these late entries.
Thank you for placing the cache and thus enticing me to get off my backside and get out and explore.

TB & GC taken - found it log to follow

See if we can get this guy to Uluru. Great cache.

Nice quick find on the way to Coolac TFTC

Sneaky cache on my way back to yanco. Tftc!

This was the second find I made while heading down to Talbingo with my family. I think the rest of my family enjoyed this one as much as I did. When we arrived at the rest stop there were two ladies talking but they left REALLY quickly as soon as we arrived. That left the whole place to our selves and we made a quick find. Left a VW beetle British racing TB, took a ladybug and sticker. Sad to see that over half the TB's in the cache are missing. TFTC Sundowners!

Horse and people muggles abound but I snuck in!

Geodaughter did scramble and used herself whilst I sorted the TBs Left Hawkey's Owl and Time to conduct the monkey. Took Scott & Jades race back to UK. TFTC

At last the right did of the road to ind the ache and collect 2 Tbs to travel. Left strs I shine. TFTC

What a nice spot to stop and even better trade some TBs nice easy find TFTC

We were headed to albury from newcastle, we saw that this was well stock with TBs so we had to stop, Took 5, dropped 5!

Found on a long drive. The weather is cooling down, a bit of rain, the poplars are shedding. Clue was a big help in getting us back into the warm car. TNLN. TFTC.

Number 9 of 10 for my trip back to Canberra.
I specifically stopped here to drop of "Teddy Claus" TB.
No muggles around at this time 130am

Thanks Sundowners for the cache.

Found on our way to Cowra for a house sit. No TB's to swap but one to visit. Left a cute keyring. Nice to see a Sundowners cache this far west. Thanks for the leg stretch. SL TFTC

After not much success at the nearby Premium Cache, this was just what we needed.

Easy to find. There were no TBs or GCs in cache, despite some being listed. We dropped off some TBs and a GC.

When we left this cache we left behind:
PIP Rabbit
Astreins beste Freundin
Stefan´s Sauerland Geocoin
SeattleWinter Space Needle

Not in the cache when we visited, but listed as being in cache:
"Tenmile Range Peak 6 (CO)" Green Jeep TB
Cordillera
Slimey's Daisy Bug.

I took the TB 'Pirate Tag Long Frog Signal'. It wasn't logged as here though. YFTC.

Found on our way from Canberra to Gundagai. Ate our take away lunch while we waited for another car to go away but they weren't going anywhere so had to do the deed anyway. Left a TB we picked up in Katoomba and took the resident geocoin. TFTC

First cache found,kids thoroughly enjoyed it.

Finally broke a 3 DNF streak despite silly phone and unimpressed muggle partner. My phone had me nearly out on the road but found due tu the clue. Happy to drop off the traveller, sorry it took so long but it has travelled! Lightning Ridge, Newcastle, Sydney and every town along the way. TFTC. Picked up LIL

Disappointed no Trackable as promised. But we fun acting out the three billy goats gruff!

What a pretty little spot, pity it was raining it would have been nice to stop for morning tea. TFTC JenneG & Budgy

Found on 24 February 2012 with indianagleeson and geokids but couldn't log

Nice little cache on our way to sydney. Found with widgertos
