Cootamundra Marble Cootamundra, New South Wales, Australia

Unfortunately, I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore as advised previously, the cache is being de-listed (Archived) to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

The [**Geocache Maintenance guideline**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains what needs to happen with a Disable cache.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article [**here**](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

If you wish to contact me please send an email via my profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

---------

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

I notice from one or more log entries that this cache would seem to be in need of some help - **there appears to be a need for owner intervention.**

Therefore, the cache is being temporarily disabling so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) I cannot see any log that indicates a recent visit by the CO to this cache.

If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) by **27th September,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?

You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:

- Repair and/or Replace your cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.

- If you don't plan on fixing it up then please [**Archive it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.

- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (by 27th September). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will unfortunately have to de-list (Archive) the cache on the basis that it has been abandoned.

Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

Spent a little bit of time here and could not find.

Kathryn and Erin July 1, 2018. Could not find cache!

My GPS led me to a wattle tree. No sign of a regular cache, which should be about the size of an ammo tin. (Or any sign of any other size cache.) I checked the neighbouring gumtree and then others. I even glanced at the water tank, some distance from GZ, although with that being used to stuff used toilet paper behind, I didn't examine it too close. Having not been found since 2017, this needs a CO check.

Has not been found since 2017. Needs checking.

Searched quite a wide area for this one with both the GPS and Smart Phone, poking and prodding everywhere but no chocolates this time. I'll put on my Watchlist in case I come back this way soon.

I was confused by the stated cache size, but previous comments suggested it was smaller. I didn't know what to look for and the app had different ideas. I'll try again next year...maybe.

Quick find as we were leaving coota from our short whirlwind tour. Tftc!

Found quickly and my lst cache find for the day.

Not where I thought it would have been going by the cache name.

Easy find. Not much room on cache but took butterfly & left marble

#3347 15 of 23 today.

I tried to gather some likely suspects for a trip out to the coast today, but was particularly unsuccessful being father's day and all. So I decided instead to head out past Yass to Bradman country - Cootamundra via Binalong. It started out as a lovely warm spring day, but a change came across with some very strong winds, but it stayed warm, hitting about 23C - the warmest I've been since about April !

I think this cache is now a throw-down micro/snall. I had a look around the marble but could see nothing "regular".

TFTC Team Horizons.

Quick find of the smallest "regular " cache ive ever encounted. The wattle was beautiful!

Left a butterfly from the beaufighters and took the fish. Tftc

Thank you for the cache!

Great find

Another good find while going from cache to cache today.
*Enjoyed the drive around.*
SL TFTC

TFTC. Coming back into town from Beaufighter , we stopped here on our exploration of the area using caching as a guide. A quick park and grab and we were quickly on our way.

A good find

This was easy to find. The geo kids could easily do this one. TFTC

Last one for today, getting a bit warm for jumping in and out of the car, TFTC

Log soaked!

We travelled to Coolamon today from Harden and grabbed a few caches along the way. TFTC

"a decent size for swaps" hehe very good. left pirate coin. thanks

Nice quick find on the way home TFTC

Great

Found at 1:49:00 PM with DogBoyOz

I was a bit confused by the cache size in the listing. This is currently a micro, not a regular. Other than that all good.

Thanks Team Horizons

Quick find! Tftc

A lovely welcome to Gundagai. TFTC

Found it

Took rubbish LN. Need to bring paper and pen for log.

Found the cashe but this is really tiny :/ hope I'm logging the right cache

Nice hiding spot! Easy find. Smaller than we thought we would find. Constant muggles.

Found with rubish.net. Not difficult. Busy highway.

This is very small but with lots of swapsies. Look carefully but don't follow the caption to give you hints. Gps not as accurate here so good luck

A lay day in our golf week so caching it is. A perfect Autumn day to see the sights. Nice welcoming present. Ants are plentiful and territorial, hopefully a sign of rain. TFTC Team Horizons.

Nice little hide. Left a penny TFTC JenneG, Budgy and Bernie

Quick easy find TFTC Travelling slowly homewards after a six month stay in Tassie.

On holidays and today travelling from Canberra to Grenfell and travelling through various towns. I apologise for the generic comments however, logging this after at home after my holidays were finished. All caches were great to find and thank you to all CO's for their caches and locations. If I wasn't a geocacher would I have visited some of these areas. TFTC

A quick find on a warm day. TFTC.

The day had come to head out on another geomissin with Rapidlywild, weather was awesome so what better way to spend a Saturday then go caching out in the country side.

Nice welcoming sign here and cache was located quickly.

TFTC Team Horizons

Plans were made with one of the FurfacesLL ladies to do a country drive through some towns in a big loop and clean out a few areas. Main targets of the day were Cootamundra and Junee

We had plans to leave at a certain time, however, I foiled those plans when I woke up late, however we still left at a reasonable hour

Thats a pretty impressive slab of marble and a nice welcoming into Cootamundra. GZ identified from a distance and made nice quick work of finding the cache.

Log signed and cache replaced, off we go towards the next cache. Thanks for the cache placement Team Horizons

We are headed home today from Wagga Wagga and picking up caches along the way, this was one of quite a few collected. An early start so mugs weren't an issue. TFTC

Easy find

A quick find.
Also found a lot of bull ants ha ha.

Sizing not quite right. TfTC Tor and Betsy geocaching westies are now touring australia.

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there Team Horizons. We found your cache "Cootamundra Marble" at 2:04:00 PM today. This cache makes our find count 12011.
[Blue]
We passed through Young today, on our way to Cootamundra and decided that as the weather was reasonably sunny we like to make a dent in the local 'caches. We started off at a random cache and then navigated to the one the GPS said was next closest, and so on. We ended up logging 13 and DNF'd 3.

[Red]This cache is a Micro, not a Regular. [/Red]
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape, we put in some more paper.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the Land Down Under" ...
Log book very full but we managed a spot to sign.

Thanks for the fun Team Horizons!

Arrived in Coota to grab a cache or 2 as we passed through

Definantly not the cache indicated on the details
And a new log will be required soon.

Found it, nice easy find

Found after a day working in Coota and a quick find this time after a DNF last year. Cache is actually only micro-small size, good for a geo-coin perhaps. Many thanks Team Horizons

Trip Coota to clean it up. Nice day for it too. Tftc

TFTC log book wet

Second attempt

Found it while it was raining and lighting

Found it, it's definitely a small or even micro not a medium sized cache. False advertising in this one.

Another quick find upon leaving Cootamundra, on our way out towards Harden and Yass today. It was an icy cold start but the day is going to be a nice sunny one. TFTC Team Horizons.

Found with Pacmania. Thanks

We finally arrived and found this one quickly.

Thanks.

A quick find after working all day

Found whilst traveling through the area

Thanks for sharing your beautiful area with us out of towners from WA.

Heading south on our way home from Coffs Harbour. Nice easy find. TFTC

Found on trip home from biochemistry residential. TFTC

Found on my return trip from the Stanthorpe MEGA, slowly making my way back to Melbourne, I love the name of this town.

Many thanks for the placement.

Found it

Heading home to Victoria after the oz mega in Stanthorpe
Picking up a few caches along the way to show the route we've taken

This needs some work:
1) description needs to change to a micro
2) the decomposed lolly in the cache needs to be cleaned out ...

We were looking forward to a regular... and I was surprised to find a micro. WTH?!?

Fancy a muggle turning up with a camera just as we started looking

Nice little drive by
thanks Team Horizons

Grabbed Isle of Man Schools Geocoin back- Returning it to Isle of Man

TFTC dropped off Isle of Man Schools Geocoin - Its warm here today folks

Out spending a couple of days with my eldest daughter finding caches in the Yass/Bookham/Cootamundra regions. Getting to the end of a long day of caching. A quick find. Find 129 plus 3 DNFs for today so far. A great start to 2015. Thanks Team Horizons.

Another find on my summer cachestravaganza. Woohoo

A quick find with my dad and sister.

Today we travelled from Yass to Wagga Wagga using geocaching as a guide.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Even with the risk of bad weather, we headed out with Roostaman, to pick up some caches.

Cache was located, after a short search.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Team Horizons, for us and others to find.

Continued on from Hanomag on my morning walk. Looked in the area of the sign for a regular cache which it proved not to be as I checked somewhere that couldn't fit such a cache. Signed and replaced.

Thanks!

Tftc left some thing small took nothing

This time this was a quick find – the size of cache through me last time. TFTC / TFTH / SL
