No response from owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note.. 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. 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.

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. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every month or so to keep everyone up to date.

as per the help centre info below;

"If you have no response from the cache owner after 30 days then I'd suggest using a Needs Archive Note. Except for in the most extreme cases, it's normally best to give the cache owner a chance to fix the issue before alerting the reviewers".

This cache appears to be gone. Please replace or archive so another can be placed

Time to say goodbye to this or replace it or at the very least take it offline so it does not show up on pocket queries....

We spent a while looking for this today but to avail. Could it have disappeared?

[quote]If you find a geocache that is in need of some help (e.g. container is cracked, logbook is full or wet), please post a "Needs Maintenance" log on the cache page so the cache owner and the community is notified. This log adds an attribute to the page (looks like a colored cross) to alert other geocachers of the needed repairs. Logging Needs Maintenance does not increase find count. Needs Maintenance logs are not forwarded to reviewers.[/quote]

Was dusk but 4 geocachers couldn't find it

I'm thinking this one is gone

Hasn't been found in months. If archived we can place a new one.

You can see where it should be but nothing there.

NO LUCK WITH THIS ONE TODAY. WILL TRY ANOTHER DAY.

Interesting history, however no luck finding it today.

On the way to Canberra for couple of days... easy to find as hide very well thanks

Pretty sure we were looking in the right place but coundn't find it, did find a live little critter in there so reckon it's taken up it's nest.
TFTC

A interesting location for lunch but unfortunately could not find the cache.

No luck today

After reading the last few logs I didn't hold much hope of finding this cache and that certainly turned out to be the case.

Thanks anyway The Sundowners.

Had a good look as well, but nothing could be found.

Thanks for the interesting spot anyway....

Had a good look around at GZ indicated by hint, but couldnt find it.

Found on our travels out of Harden, great spot to learn about local bushrangers.
TFTC

An interesting visit on our way to Temora. I cant imagine it would be hard to find however we were not able to locate the cache.

Area around the hide looked 'muggled' as did the area of the hint!

Was doing a car shuttle for the upcoming St Clement's Way walking trip - Friday 29 April to Sunday 01 May 2011 - from Yass to the St Clements monastery at Galong walking along quiet old stock routes. Called into Johnny Gilberts grave site to log a cache as well. Would have left a Chinese Feng Shui coin for the Year of the Rabbit but the micro was just too small - so left a sticker on the signed log - good hide TFTC - 2BluFish.

On our way to Ardlethan, stopped for a rest and a quick find of this cache.. TFTC

Had a good Idea where it should be but still couldn't locate it.

Last find on the way to work in Harden and a late arvo cold beer at the Royal. The carpark at GZ is certainly more 'flash' than the last time I visited Mr Gilbert's grave. I dont imagine that I shall be so fortunate to have such a well maintained approach to my final place of rest. Many thanks to the Sundowners

How do you make a long trip take even longer?
Cache along the way.
However, caching your way across the country means that at least there is no need to stop every 2 hours for a rest-revive-survive break - the caches are closer together than that!
7.25pm- #81 found on a non-cache inspired trip from Sydney to Adelaide & back (but I could not waste the opportunity to get some smileys).
this was worth the stop to read abou this intersting part of our history, so thanks for placing a cache here - otherwise I would probably keep on driving through.

nice grave
found with aussiepuschaks tftc

Wow this is one of the nicest graves we have seen today, and it is for a criminal; this shows the larrikin nature if Australia at it's best, along with waltzing Matilda, awesome. TFTC

(1:51 PM) Expected a simply drive-by on the way home from Harden and was surprised and pleased by what I found. Thanks Sundowners and geocaching for showing me another hidden gem.

Had given up so read the hint then gave up again then took a break to look at the grave. Had another look and there it was. TFTC

This is a lovely little area. I enjoyed coming here, and reading about mad, bad bushrangers. Someone works very hard at keeping this place nice, and I appreciate it. Oh, I liked the cache, too.

After not thinking the little Mazda would get up the gutter into the parking area we made our way to GZ and after having a look at the grave turned our attention to the cache. After Ju looking unsuccessfully in the obvious spot I re-checked it and came up with the cache.

Thanks for showing us this however the nearby sign show his age differently to the grave marker[?]

TFTC

Found at 1734 hours - have passed this way a few times and wondered who was home, now I know - TFTC

Been here before plenty of times but never to find a cache. Nice hide.

Nice Sunday afternoon drive, and a quick find for this one.
Good day to be outside. TFTC.

2588 - Out for a Sunday arvo drive...

The last time I stopped here the cache had been muggled, so it was nice to see it on line and in place - a nice quick find.

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Out collecting some firewood so decided to pick up a cache on the way. TFTC The Sundowners.

Found John Gilberts Grave, no problem, but as for finding the cache
we were out of luck. It was getting dark and we didnt have a torch with us.

Will definately have to come back again & try next time.

Thanks for bringing us here.

Thank you...

Found it on our second attempt on the way to temora- thanks

Reperio at 0640. Stopped by this one on an extended route to to Albury to pick up a few caches I never seem to go past. I almost this one in the dark, but once I spotted the stairs, I couldn't believe how well maintained this spot was for being so isolated.

Gratias.

What a well-maintained grave. Thanks for bringing us here and for the history lesson.

initially went to the wrong location but by luck actually ended up at the cashe site. 1st solo find was very exciting.

A quick find by torchlight on the run to Canberra.

OK, we were on a maintenance run for the Sundowners on this one. Too nice a spot not to have a cache in residence.

Mr Bunny went with the torch. He looked like he was dancing.

After 30mins of looking no luck think this ones been muggeled

Bushrangers have always played a part in my life as my father knew all about them and the history of this country. I know a lot of songs dating back fro the convict era and I was disappointed when i read the logs after i searched to see that it hasn't been here for a while.

No luck here, like many others before us, sadly.

On way down to Temora Triathlon, Perhaps it no longer there??

Is itstill there ?

I was with FarmerFrentzen when he was looking for this one, it certainly wasn't where it was when I found it.

No luck with this one for me.

Bail UP !!!

The Pirates call to pay our respects to a lander love who also like BOOTY....

only problem was were unsuccesful, and we loked in the fork and found fork all

but thank you as we never would have stopped here if there wasn't a cache here.

Second attempt at this one. Found quickly when the cache was actually in place. TFTC.

My second go at this one so thanks to the cacher who replaced it.

Took the day off work to go watch the remote control turbine jets up at Temora.
Was glad this one was replaced (well done that cacher) and found easily where I looked the first time for a muggled cache.
Great day out watching jets crash and explode, great fun.

TFTC

First one today and made a quick find. Have been waiting for this one to come back online. Thanks to the person who put it back. Have been past this point before tho havent stopped good to finally do it TFTC

Nice little hide to break up the driving, plus bonus I'm the first one to fill out the new log. Thank you for a fun cache.

Seen this one hasnt been found for some time and was comming past on Sunday so decided to check it out and it was gone.had a spare one in the car so i left it in the same spot as the old one was ,Hope no body minds.

Not claiming an DNF for this.....just recording that we were there and the cache certainly doesn't appear to be.

Interesting to read about the Flash's adventures all the same.

Hope the cache can come back online soon.

A check on whether the cache is still there would be in order.

That'll teach me to keep GSAK up to date! A spur of the moment decision to do this one only lead to frustration in the rain (yes it rained!) Anyway it was interesting to see & read the history. Thanks.

Like previous cachers we did plenty of looking but did not find anything.

Day 309 of non-stop caching

Completed a thorough search based upon the clue. Even found supected cache booty (rubber teeth) left on the ground. Muggles may have got this one?

We scrambled up and down, and searched here and there but no cache, suspect it's muggled.

Cheers
MC KENNA

Just backdating this DNF. Had a look on the way to Griffith for the Easter long weekend.
Had a good look around but all we found were some rubber teeth on the ground, which we suspect may have been some "treasure" from the cache.

I've driven past the sign here many a time and always wondered. Today it was a nice spot to stop and rest for a moment. Easily found and signed, but watch out for the ants!

I've been driving past this for over twenty years! Geokiddy took the dog pendant and left JALO badge.

Found 15:10. Driven pass this spot for years and never stopped. To find a cache was a good reason too.

The first on our way to wagga

This one was the last on my list for the journey. I have been past this place quite a few times and even stopped a couple. The cache was found in a "flash", stopped to read the history and on again.

TFTC one of 10 for the day.
Found with Zoratz.

Nice easy find
one of 10 with Badimara
TFTC

Was almost done in a flash but stopped to read all the history. TFTC!

Past this place many times, finally had a look.
SL TFTC

Found at 9.25am GAFF1. So that is where the name "Flash Gordan" originated from! Love to see these places - not good enough for a cemetry was he? Thanks The Sundowners.

Find 5 of a 6 trip find on the way to (and back from) Temora Airshow.
TNLNSL

Good to see Flash getting a bit more belated recognition. Wonder what he would have thought of geocaching?? TFTC

12:38pm
We have done a few caches relating to bushrangers these holidays. A nice spot to stop, though, mounting that sloped edge to the parking area is um, well, interesting.

Cheers

What a lovely view Flash has.

A very nice spot that I have driven by for years thinking I really should stop one day and have a look. Now that I am a geocacher, I have the reason and I am very glad I did. The early spring blossoms were peeping out, and the sheep on the hillside were looking quite content.

Thanks for prompting me to finally stop and check out this lovely spot. And to learn a little more about Flash.

TNLN

nice place to stop for a quick leg stretch. my second successful find for the day on a tigh scedule trip from Sydney to Mildura. TFTC!!!

Out on a Great Southern Raid with Rastas000. Excellent piece of local history. TFTH

Out on a Southern raid in the nations Capital and surrounds.... The Green Gecko keeping me company and driving me around (and crazy, a good thing I can assure you)

TFTC SL

an easy find just off the road with a bit of bushranger history. had a v nice long weekend in binalong. beautiful little place with friendly locals.

TFTC.

131/131 @ 1345 on a Wagga (and districts) Geocaching Odyssey.

This is what caching is all about, coming to spots that few people know about!

TFTC!

A spot I would never have known about and with plenty of history. I actually nearly slept right through it. I woke to the gizmo buzzing about an up coming find.
Thanks

Found at 0900, a bit difficult to access due to roadworks but should be much easier when the roadworks have been completed. Thanks Sundowners for bringing me here as I would have driven past without noticing the grave site otherwise.

Did this one back on the 20th with my oldman, only just logging it today the 30th, Driven past this spot so many times before getting into the caching.

A good easy one to find a little bit hard to get to with the roadworks going on .

Found by Mary & David at 1115. We had been here many years ago (long before caching began). Nice to have an excuse to return. The country here looks wonderful, and the cache is nice and dry. TNLN. Our thanks to The Sundowners.

Another well recommended cache stop with a great story .A new car park is in progress too.Thanks to The Sundowners .

Found 14:30, a great cache in a location that we might easily have missed if not for this cache.

TNLNB, CSI=3, thanks to The Sundowners.

Found by poddy 1. Easy to find driven past the spot a number of times and didnt even know it was there. TNLN

Found at 2:30 pm on our way home from a vintage rally at Cootamundra. We spotted this one on our way to Coota but it was to late in the night to stop. What an interesting grave site. Our 9th find for the weekend.
Signed log.
Thanks The Sundowners for the cache.

This is what I love about GeoCaching... I would never have stopped here & therefore would never have found this little memorial.

Thank you very much for the cache (your 4th I've found today).

What a great roadside location. Would be so easy to miss without the cache to guide me there
TFTC.

First cache on our weekend to Parkes. Thanks for bringing us to this spot, very poignant and an interesting story. I remember seeing some of the Ben Hall/Frank Gardiner on TV years ago. Thanks for this cache.
