According to the logs this cache has incorrect posted coordinates and has an unactioned, archived "needs maintenance" log since 31 July last year.

Adding the changed coords to the cache description is not the correct way to change coords, especially as the majority of cachers download the coordinates without scanning the cache page for changes. You can change the coords with an "Update Coordinates" log or, if the coordinates are too away, an email to a reviewer, with the cache GC code and new coordinates, will get them changed.

I'm temporarily disabling this listing to allow the owner time to change the coordinates.

We stopped for a bit of morning tea up here and I spied the obvious spot right away. Very nicely made cache holder Smile

I'm a bit confused by the co-ords that should be used - I thought I used S 33 25.568 as per the log from the owner, not the posted co-ords for the cache. But anyway, found with no problems, TFTC
 
11-Mar-10
Tried to find this one yonks ago, but no luck . This time with new co ords and bang , no worries . Had to wait for a council worker to move , but in the end a quick find.
 
26-Feb-10
Cache not at listed co-ords oh and I look forward to your threatening SMS you have sent before.
And yes they have been kept.

Another log on 1st January 2010 however the formal Date logged doesn't yet go to 2010. Will return to edit log later.
Second find for the new year. Found 7.40am on 1st January 2010.
Starting out the new year with a few caches.
I had a look at the view in both directions...then looked around for GX. Had to laugh when I found it!!

First find of the year. Nice easy.

TNLNSL. TFTC.

Pulled quick-smart, lucky enough no traffic. This cache is quite easy to get if travelling towards Mudgee and not back to Sydney. Nice easy find. TFTC SL
 
30-Dec-09
Found nice and quick on our way from Mudgee to Sydney for NYE2009. TFTC.

nice quick find and easy parking on the way to Mudgee (From Sydney)

Found after reading the logs about the moved coords. Time to get them fixed up Scenic Routers

The name gave away the location. TFTC.

Found with Edvern on the way home from the orienteering. Got our driver to make a quick right turn! TFTC
 
15-Oct-09
Its easy to change the co-ordinates on the cache page?????? The end is missing, we reckon its gone.
 
15-Oct-09
Luckily noticed the note about changed coordinates for this one. Had to take care approaching this one by car, but once safely parked it was found quickly. Nicely done.
 
02-Oct-09
I don't know if you would really call this a dnf as I didn't actually get a chance to look for it at the cache location. I only had the co-ords that are correctly posted, not the ones in the log and I ended up on some poor blokes property. I don't know WHY the co-ords aren't corrected. Thats what a traditional cache is.
 
02-Oct-09
Not particularly happy with this cache. A traditional cache is supposed to be follow the arrow, not read the log for correct co-ords. Old Mate was not impressed to have us in his front yard on dusk, that is for sure. We back peddled at a rate of notes with him hot on our tail and did hot get a chance to even reach the correct ground zero. Not particularily impressed.
 
02-Oct-09
Quick grab in the rain. Thanks.
 
16-Sep-09
Found 8:40am. Good name for a cache as I was heading to Dubbo via Parkes, not to Mudgee. So now I have gone the wrong way, found the cache and glad it was easy to head the right way again. TNLN Thanks.
 
06-Sep-09
Found while I was still one half of Argeisia a Ca.. was told by the "higher authorities" I can still log these as my finds so TFTC!!! (not much else to write as I originally wrote half of Argeisias comments)

2624.

After the late night visit to the posted coordinates last time I came back today for a very simple find.

Scenic routers, how about updating the coordinates on this one? Might give the locals a break.

TNLNSL
 
08-Jun-09
Found by Mary & David at 1530. We'd noted the new coordinates in the description, so had a quick find. Hadn't come across that hiding method before. Great fun. Our thanks again to Scenic routers.
 
30-May-09
There was a muggle parked in just the wrong spot when I first got here but they were gone when I came back later. This is a rather bold hide, but sometimes the boldest work well.
 
17-May-09
It certainly was a bum steer for us, still the lady at the top of the driveway seemed quite happy to see us giving us a big wave upon our arrival!
Why can't the coords be fixed on this one once and for all?
Eventually got to the right destination and logged our finds!
 
17-May-09
Me and my caching buddy went the wrong way about getting this one however did get a warm welcome from the lady at the top of the driveway,
Nice to see the smiling hospitality of the local country folk!

16-May-09
Quick and easy find once you read the text with the changed coordinates. Suggest to update the cache with the correct ones.
 
25-Apr-09
Nice easy one during a numbers run to catch hanjac before the big 100 caches in 24hrs epic tomorrow
 
29-Mar-09
Had a crack at this one early Sunday morning, the dogs barking and buildings in the driving lights made us beat a hasty retreat.

Looking at this one it needs a coordinate update, any chance this could get done?
 
17-Feb-09
Went the wrong way about getting to this, but find it I did!

Couldn't find this one despite a very good look for it.

This popped up on the GPS on the way home. I had intended to visit it before, but I was never in the right place at the right time. Today I was able to make a quick dash and grabbed an easy find.
 
23-Mar-08
Had to wait for a break in the traffic before making our move. Retrieved the cache and signed the log in quick time.

Thanks to the Scenic routers

Last one for the day. In the dark it was just too easy as there was hardly any traffic

Thanks routers.

Heh, heh !
That was fun Smile
Stopped the geomobile where I expected to be close to something like the wrong way.
Looked at the GPS. Oh!
Led astray Smile
I headed up the road a bit and stopped again. Some puzzlement ensued, so I read the cache notes Red Face
Led astray. So back to where I first stopped for an easy find Big Grin

Another quick grab while passing through. This one took longer to put back than find as some muggles in a truck and a ute pulled off the road in an area that gave them full view of GZ. They would have wondered why I picked that spot to do stretching exercises!
 
26-Dec-06
[Went to the wrong wrong way!] Took the mudgee exit and [found the other one and the cache was easy. 4th for the day, 14th for the long weekend.]
 
17-Nov-06
Found the cache where I guessed it would be. Thanks for the cache.

Drove around in circles for a while until I found a good park, but then finding the cache was very easy.

We made a quick stop on the way to our campsite so that I could collect this one. I spotted the cache from the car and after a few moments to fill in the log, we were on the road again.

Thanks Scenic routers.
 
03-Sep-06
Yes, finally, we've done it. Have driven past a few times but always forget to stop before its to late. Number 13 for the day after being rained out of our plans for the day in Bathurst. TFTC
 
18-Aug-06
Our last day of our 5week trip to the tip of Australia.
Our 35th cache find for this trip. They have taken us to so many beautiful and wonderful places that we perhaps would never have gone to.
Found this one at 2pm on a clear sunny day. The traffic was consisted, wondering what we were doing walking the wrong way.
Signed Log.
Thanks Scenic routers for the tricky cache. Cheers.
 
07-Aug-06
Nice and easy. Not too much traffic at night.
 
12-Jun-06
why did geo man cross the road.....?? to get to the goodies!!
 
04-Jun-06
A nice easy one to break up an afternoon drive.
Waited for farmer Brown to leave the car park so we could persue this one. He looked at us funny, so I hope it wasn't another cacher wishing we would go... Razz
Honest... I wasn't trying to play super muggle... This time...

Scampered across the road while Mrs Wally played the theme music from "Frogger" on her iPod.
Found without any issue.

Thanks for a fun one!

**SPLAT!!**

Nabbed this one on the way home froma trip up north. Have driven by it so many times of late I thought I better make the effort to claim it today.

Thanks to Team Crackers log we knew exactly what mistakes not to make and so had the cache in hand pretty quickly. Cheers
 
12-Feb-06
We certainly went the wrong way trying to get to here. First we drove straight past the exit and had to find a place to do a u-turn. On the way back we spotted the likely location for the cache and somehow wound up back on the motorway. After doing another U-turn the cache was quickly in hand without removing the GPS from the car
Thanks again Scenic Routers

Yeah, the name says it all. Easy find 3 for today

Found it nice and easy after putting corrected co-ords into GPS. Thought the original co-ords seemed a little suss.
 
Nice easy find for our first one for the day.

As we approached the site we thought yes we've been somewhere like this before - we know where to look. However the gps showed we were heading the wrong way. Found after a bit of a look. Enjoyed the nearby view. Thanks Scenic Routers for another good cache.
