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.

NO find since September 2014 and no apparent owner response to NM log from March 2015. Is it really worth persevering with.

Did not find. Pretty sure we found where it was supposed to be. Looks to be muggled.

A few DNF's now, probably needs a visit so it can be checked on....

Had a look for about 10 minutes, but then gave it away.....

Probably needs to be checked.

A few sad faces in Young today

Very prickly!!!! better move away from prickly. so DNF for me. Thanks.

No luck for us today. Searched thoroughly through the prickles, but not thoroughly enough it seems. Passing through the area on a trip from Canada. Even with a DNF, it was a beautiful and peaceful place to take a walk.

Very prickly!!!! Need new log sheets and a new container. Great find!

LOTS of muggles around today, log is very damp! Left travel bug.

Gotcha Tftc lovely gardens

3534. Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1245 on the drive back towards The Rock after a visit to Grenfell. We have been here now 4 times to try and find this cache. The first time was back in 2006 on a drive to Bathurst. We have stopped for a look on other occasions but have missed out every time with just the allergic reaction to the conifers. Today that all changed and we were able to SL. The container has been severely chewed by a rodent and is now letting in the moisture, log dry in plastic bag but contents wet. Finally we can Tnx The Sundowners

Great area, well worth a visit. Tftc.

This cache has to go on my favourite list as I just love the bronze horse. I have been here several times just to admire it and today was no exception less points for the prickly bushes but worth it TFTC The Sundowners

Forgot to tick the favourites box in my log

Even though it was getting late in the day the reflections in the pool were magnificent. Nice hide. TFTC The Sundowners.

again, as easy as pi.Placed it on rock under rock, unlike the last person. Plastic container is being gnawed by local antichines;new paper would be good. No GPS other than Googlemaps & my well-honed ability to read them.

sunny morning, westerly wind out an end to that. Just me & Googlemaps.

A great find while looking around the area.
Thanks.

Plants are prickly.

TFTC! Geomum found it!!!

Took a trip to Boorowa to catch up with my sisters and mum. These gardens are an oasis, loved them. It helped that there was a cache there. TFTC

Found it

Found Jan 1st with rollse, been a bit lazy with logging

Found it this morning

A lovely day for geocaching. We found it- by we I mean our much younger cousin with much keener eyes.

Watch the spikes

Found it with some novice cachers...beautiful place to visit..tftc

Little bit prickly but found it!!

FINALLY!!!!!!!!! We have tried so many times. TFTC

Container needs replacing. Looks good at first glance but the plastic has been mysteriously scraped on the bottom making some holes. With a bit of rain things will get wet inside.

After a long hard day of work outside Young I needed a break and this tranquil garden was just the tonic I needed late in the day. A few muggles in the car park and picnic areas but no one disturbed me as I crossed the beautiful bridge to the Chinese gardens. Circled around to GZ where I searched every spot (some spiky plants there!) until I came back to where I started and found it. Sat on a bench to sign as muggles with dogs came by. Was able to replace without anyone noticing.

Great spot, would never have visited etc...
Thanks!

What a magical place. The other visitors were leaving as we crossed the bridge so we had the garden to ourselves - perhaps the best way to appreciate the ambience. Also just as well because we had to search for a while before the cache was found. If it was not for the cache we would probably not have come here so this is worth a favourite for the beautiful location alone. TFTC.

Few of us lookin, no luck. Lots of muggles.

1619. We searched for a fair time then finally found the container, not in the spot indicated by the hint signed the log at 8am and replaced, This is a magic peaceful place !!
The Sundowners - TFTC and bringing us here to see this !
And a fav point for you Too.

We have tried on three separate occasions to find this cache. We are admitting defeat and walking away with many scratches and spikes endured.

Yay cartwheel flipped drunk into a river naked n found the treasure Ben Dunklin Amy hall Isaac Moore Rachael Brooker! Workfest 2013 took frog replaced with starfish

Tftc lovely spot sooo quiet took a while coords a little out but got it eventually NO Geocoin in it ( wish peeps would log found) never mind

Catching up on old finds, not sure when it was, but it took a long time to locate even with geo wife and two geo kids helping

What a great spot! Never knew this was here. Fairly quiet here before lunch so had a good look around. Cache took a little while to find as it wasn't where expected (close though). The bottom of the container looks like it has been eaten by ants so is probably not waterproof.

Thanks

It took awhile but we managed to find it :3 lots of fun and being a first timer made it better

Thtc. Lovely spot to relax and enjoy the scenery.

Found this cache while in the area. This is such a magic place, so calm and tranquil. At first (after reading the previous logs) thought this is a no go. but still wanted to have a walk around the gardens.
Was about to leave after hunting for awhile and decided to have one more look.
Yah there it was.
Thanks The Sundowners for bringing us to this delightful place.
The Bushies

What a truly beautiful area this is. This is what caching is all about for us - finding special areas you wouldn't otherwise know existed.

Unfortunately we didn't find the cache. We looked along the rock edge and under the very prickly cypresses for quite a length and time, and did find a spot which matched the clues perfectly, but no cache in sight.

Thanks so much Sundowners for bringing us here. Sorry to report a DNF, but logging a favourite anyway.

Bit scratchy.

I can't believe it. After all these years I finally cleared this DNF. In the dark too. Cheers, thanks for bringing me back here. SL took geocoin. TFTC

What a lovely garden! Found it with Jonnyroe and Chelly5. TFTC

Found it with Sareyn, Chelly5 and geofamily. Left travel bug TFTC

Travel Case Geocoin is not in this cache

Container needs replacing. Underside has been damaged by terrain.

Found with some family on their weekend visit to Young.

We found it and put it back where found it

Wow this one was tough! The cache had natural protection that left us marked and itchy. Not sure if the cache was in the right spot as the clue didn't quite fit but we eventually came up with the prize. Lovely surroundings. TFTC.

Very tricky but we found it after being attacked by some plants lol

Very tricky but we found it after being attacked by some plants lol

Took a friend to find this cache as I have found this one before. Cache has either been moved or removed

Found with a little looking aroung. ?......around.... Oh and under.

In Young for an overnight stay, so hunted around town for the caches.
This had to be my favourit in town so a point is awarded.
I was surprised when we pulled up at the location, its really lovely, spent some time looking around.
TFTC The Sundowners

Took me a little while to find! TFTC

This was the best geocache location of the day and would never have known it was here. Favourite point from us. TFTC

Searched for a little while and came away with the goods! What are truly beautiful place

Warm day & nice environs for a tricky find TFTC

# 2579. After 3 weeks of travelling our holiday is about to end. Robmc and I are heading to Beechworth today from Bathurst.

This is my favourite spot in Young - found on my first visit to find a cache, probably late last year or early this year. At the time the Gardens were blocked off with workmen working on the beautiful red gate entrance behind the lions. Each time I passed through on the way north I would detour in here for lunch and the serenity.

Today we came for lunch and a first wander through the magnficent gardens. They are lovely. I took several photos and then we found the cache before returning to the other side for lunch in the rain. It was good timing as suddenly a busload of muggles arrived to enjoy it too. Thanks for bringing these gardens to the notice of the caching fraternity. TNLN TFTC.

Bathurst to Beechworth, the trip home with Bettyboo3747
Great park. Bettyboo suggested this park for lunch, but didn't mention the lovely Chinese gardens.
We walked around and took a few snaps before having lunch on the other side.
Thanks, Robmc.

TaurusSix and I agreed that this was a really nice place to have lunch. Found the cache after a few minutes searching. Then we explored the very photogenic gardens.

3rd time lucky!!

Travel Case Geocoin (TB31MAZ) hasn't been seen since 2 May 2011 when GKachers placed it in Chinese Reflections, and on 28 May 2011 wbfoto wrote "...no TBs in there....". The cache owner needs to mark it as missing.

WanderingAus wandered by on day 114 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, making our way from Darwin towards Perth via Mount Isa, Townsville, Emerald, Goondiwindi, Gunnedah, Young and Wentworth.

Knowing that the WanderingMrs wanted to visit the gardens I chose this cache to be my 5,100th find. The gardens are very impressive and worthy of a visit even without the presence of a cache, but the cache was the cream on the pie.

As we walked around I guessed where the cache must be, and made a very quick and easy GAFF 0 find on my third probe.

My Groundspeak find No 2,860, overall find No 5,100, L Special 5,100th Find Calling Card (a collectors item, see attached photo), TNLNSL, dropped my WanderingAus Happy New Year 2008 Gold GC, my WanderingAus GeoMobile TB and a couple of other travellers in for a visit before grabbing them back again.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Got it on my 4th visit. Def not there on my others.

1078. The daughter, horse, pup and I were at the horsey event at Harden for the weekend and I found a spare hour or two, so ducked away for my daily fix.
Arrived at the park and had a lovely stroll around a very pretty location. invested a good 15 minutes looking, looking, looking, before I found what I was searching for. Happy to blame a wandering iPhone. TFTC.

4817 + 544 = 5361. A weekend run with my kids combining caching, sightseeing and chasing a few Windmills....

What a lovely park !! It was a nice break from being in the car and very peaceful. Quite busy as well, but it was a quick find and we were on our way ! Thanks again The Sundowners !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Enjoyed this place. Found with O319. TFTC

Another great place we would have missed if not for caching.. TFTC

Thanks for replacing this cache. We have had it on the radar for a while and discussed the other day about replacing it as well.
A little bit of stealth was required today, but we found it quickly, signed the log and waited for the muggles to disappear to return to its spot. TFTC

Cache has been restored. Was unable to retrieve the original cache so a new one has been created.

Replacing the cache today. Original couldn't be retrieved so a new cache has been created.

Doesn't look like it's been replaced yet, and no note to say it has.
Is a lovely place though.

What a beautiful spot, so glad we get to come back again to find the cache next time!

This cache has been removed by council workers but I know one of them and in the next couple of weeks it will be replaced and it's a great place to visit

DNF for us, this cache is definitely gone after searched everywhere by 3 geofriends, please archive this cache because of pervious logs was DNFs... please advice for this... thanks

I concur with the others - this cache is definitely gone.

2nd attempt at this one and like others found the spot described in clue, but no sign of the lollies.Will keep an eye out and have another crack next time through Thanks Sundowners for the chance to visit this beautiful park.

The gardens looked a bit neglected and some damage by the usual town idiots - but lots of blossoms made up for it. Just as well as we couldn't find the cache - but enjoyed the visit anyway - logging a Waymark as a consolation prize. TFTC 2BluFish

WHAT BEAUTIFUL SPOT TO HAVE LUNCH. SEARCHED IN WHAT LOOKED TO BE THE RIGHT AREA BUT NO LUCK.

I am pretty certain I found the spot described in the clue however it appears to have gone again.

looked everywhere. GPS didn't help much but I looked under everyplant and between every rock. If it is still there could someone let me know and ill try again.

place been cleand up looks better now tnl pirate coin and badge little muggles around made for easy find
25 June 2011 | 3:36 PM

A few muggles around, made it a little harder than expected.
Definately a few spikes to worry about.
TNLNSL.

A quiet search here this morning and a quick but prickly find. Thanks for bring us here to these wonderful gardens.

Thanks for the cache The Sundowners

took a bit longer to find than expected. but all ok in the end. no TBs in there....thank you

Intersting place we would never have found had it not been for caching. Many thanks for taking us there and for the well hidden cache.

Lovely place and very peaceful this morning. The blood on the cache guardian is mine. TFTC

Stopped in on our trip from NZ to see family in nearby grenfell. Lovely spot we had never been too before. Cache was prickly but coords were perfect and it was found quite quickly. Dropped in GC. Tftc.

Going home at last - Brisbane to Melbourne - Day 5 of 6 - Cache 20 of 26

We decided to tackle this cache before heading out of Young to Temora and were pleasantly surprised when these lovely gardens unfolded before us. After locating the cache and scribbling our names in the log we wandered around the gardens and enjoyed having them pretty much to ourselves. We've been to Young a few times over the past few years, mostly as an overnight stop enroute to somewhere else, and never expected to see something like these here. Thanks to the cache (and 'The Sundowners') for bringing us here!

TNLN & TFTC

(Next . . . "Rockpile")

What a lovely place, I was relly impressed with the gardens it was so peaceful and pretty, cache was a bit prickly though. Thanks for pointing us here.

TFTC TNLN

Found by 12 members of the YBC (mainly haddyn and me)

Very prickly (ouch)

Happy Caching ?

Out with just a cacher today and got to gz for this one and some guys were working nearby.
This tho didnt stop us and after a short search just a cacher had it in her hand TFTC

Found on a day trip out with Mr_Roo, bit prickly, but not hard to find.
Thanks, Sundowners.
