As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it 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 (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

We didn't know it was de-listed as we downloaded the cache details some time ago. We went for a look, searched all over and didn't find it.

Well, this maybe disabled, but we found it. But...

Well, we looked and looked, and we we had given up. And as we were finishing, we met a friend who had found the geocache some years ago. Sure enough, there it was! However, it was quite a distance from where the gps had us looking.

Found and navigated by Alison (the mum), with some help from geofriends. The coordinates just need updating. The cache was there, not that hard to find, but a bit damp.

I again looked for this cache.... I dont believe it is there.

A lot of ferns and rocks to look at.

No luck today. Happy hunting.

Second try for this cache.
Was not quite where gps wanted us to go.
Still found after a bit of a search.
tftc

No sign of this today. Too many ferns. Too many rocks. Not enough enthusiasm.

Was really looking forward to finding this cache but came up empty handed.
Even came with a previous finder but must have been muggles.
The area around here is beautiful and a great camping area not far away.

my favourite holiday place. Been coming for 40 years and had no idea there were some hidden treasures here. thanks. Log wet but managed to sign it.

great spot, scratched around looking for this one for a while........suprised it was still here after the floods......cache was very wet inside tried our best to dry it out........TFTC.....cach needs some maintenance as it looks like mice have chewed the edge of lid letting the water in....great cahe anyway...

Two of us searching and no sign of the cache. As there has been such a lot of rain lately, maybe it is lost again and needs checking. Thanks anyway wishuwell.

No joy for us today at this one. Had a good look for about 1/2 hr before the heavens opened and we made a quick retreat to the car. Thanks anyway wishuwell

Had a great time rock hopping through here with a geosquirt after a lovely day by the water. Pretty little spot.

What a beautiful area!

Great location!
TFTC

We love this 'town'. We are not the tourist types so we didnt want to camp in Nossa. We found that this place was perfect for us, so peaceful. Would have loved to have stayed longer. As we came here on the spur of the moment a call to my sister got us the coords for this. We spent an age looking for this with only the coords to go on, we eventully came up with the goods. TFTC

There a lotsa rocks there ! Sneaked in while a family had a picnic near by. TFTC

Found What a great location by the Lake TFTC

Nice easy find on 4wd weekend. TFTC TNSL

Found it but our GPSr had us about 4m North from actual gz, where there is a perfect hidey hole under a rock with another smaller rock positioned to make it look like it is hiding something Lovely spot for a picnic and an icecream from the shop up the road.

TFTC

Tclue was a big help for this cache. Nice park! TFTC

Easy find during our usual trip to Boreen Point to buy and ice cream. Thanks

Had a lovley lunch here with and eatmorchikin & Stigglepot , & novice "Moo". TFTC

Had lunch here with "Landylovers" and "Moo". The cache had been muggled and obscene notes written in the log book across a few pages. We removed those pages and rehid the cache. Left Mr Rude TB. TFTC.....eatmorchikin & Stigglepot

Nice and easy cache. We would argue that the level of difficulty is less than stated. Boreen appears to be a fairly quiet but nice town. TftC.

We had a nice look around Boreen point today after camping at Elanda last night. The cache was found fairly easily. Thanks for bringing us here and TFTC.

Nice Park
No Trade

TFTC JM-Project

This was and will forever be our first geocache find!
This can be accessed by canoe if you're staying at the Boreen Point Caravan Park!

Camping in the area so had to grab this one. Noticed the adjacent house up for sale, but received a reality jolt at the $2m price tag. Guess it's canvas for us for a bit longer yet. TFTC

Found it ... took TB and left Chinese Coins

Had help from my new Geobuddy, nice view, rock on... might stay at the B&B next door looks nice..
TFTGC

an old chook visited

Called in and grabbed my usual lunch at this lovely spot, watched muggles rig up their sailing vessels and then wandered over to GZ. No muggles over there today. Nice easy find. Out - Las Vegas keyring, In - Boomarang keyring. TFTC.

Love this area and couldn't resist having a look for the cache. Found easily. TFTC

We found the fern and then looked all around with no luck then geo son decided to look and came up with the goods in no time flat. TFTC

Out with the Storkers doing this one had to hunt around a bit for this one but was soon found [^]TNLNSL
Dropped TB in TFTC

This was a hard find. All I can say is, ignore the clue. You’re a sneaky one, ‘wishuwell’. TN/LN/SL. I was about to write in the log about my fears of being sprung when the neighbours arrived home, headlights blazing at 7:30pm. Lucky for me I was down low at the time so had to sit and wait for them to casually get out of the car and wander inside. Then I made my way to a dark part of the park and sneaked back to my car. Oh dear, the life of a cacher.

Beaten to this one by holster and thehairbear who found it at 1120hrs. Enjoyed a cuppa while the kids played in the park. Great little spot which we hadn't been to before.

TNLNSL TFTC

Found with konie and thehairbear.

Found it with holster and Konie.

Arrived near GZ by boat but it took about fifteen minutes until we had the cache in hand. Loved the location. TNLNSL.
Thanks wishuwell for the cache.

A quick find on our way to the Pub for dinner. Left some balloons. Thanks for the cache. Andrew and Maryan.

Maintenance now complete as we have hid a replacement cache.

We hid a new cache to replace this one. Had to hide it under another rock, but it is only about a metre from the original hiding place.

Agree with Scrub Bull Has been flodded

Disabling this one till we can check it out, sounds like we need to put a replacement as the other one probably floated away.

Had a quick look for this one for you but could not remember where it was. All the rocks in this area have been under water so if your cache is still there it will be very wet.

Lovely spot. Lots of mossies found us while we were looking. Left giant stag beetle, took funny looki' purple man. Thanks!

This was a tricky little hide. I think I made it harder than it should have been as I was wet and cold from the lake crossing to get back to the boat ramp.TFTC.

Out on the lake today to get some other caches. Weather was pretty poor. We chose a wet windy day to do this. As we were hunting for this one the rain came down in a flash. Luckily the Cache was revealled quickly after this but we still got quite wet. TFTC

aaaargh!,another quik'n'easy find,not sure i saw the t.b.in there though!thanks for showin' a great spot.

Found on the way home from a long weekend at Elanda Point. Left behind a mate by the name of Cooee Cobber. Also left a butterfly and dinosaur. Took gorilla and tats.

This one took us quite some time. There are many hiding spots in this little place. Clue didn't help us much Lots of previous digs so we weren't the only ones not to find it straight away. Hate to avoid lunching muggles as well. TFTC

Found Ok

I can Finally cross this one off my list of caches fortunately we didn't get sprung by the local mayor who drove past a couple of times
Found in the company of The Nanks and Liz and Bruce
TFTC

Sunday of the big caching weekend with David from THENANKS and powellbruce. This is actually our 3rd visit to this cache and welcomed the chance to come back in the hope that we would be successful this time. After about half an hour it looked like we were not going to come up with the goods and even powellbruce who had also visited the site before looked disappointed. David (THENANKS) eventually saved the day by finding the cache in what must of been the last rock we hadn't looked out. Thanks wishuwell it really is a good hide.

Number-878 , The Sunday of our great numbers hunt with Powell Bruce and Liz and Bruce Hanish. This is a really nice place to spend some time and find a cache. The look on the other 3 hunters faces was priceless when I called got it. Anyway with a bit of guidance and patience and a 2nd crack at it, we got the rotter. Thanks for the adventures and placing the cache. Cheers The Nanks

Well I think this is the longest I have spent looking for a cache. In the end I gave up and went and had a ice cream and drink. The sugar hit revived me and back I went, found it under the first rock I looked under.
In Ball and Frog
Out Stamps

Well we thought we had a good look around but failed to come up with the goods. Thanks for the challenge wishuwell as it is a great area to visit.

It was a beautiful day by the lake. The gentle lapping of the waves was very soothing as I started looking for the cache
Half an hour later and the soothing lapping of the waves wasn't having the same effect [:o]
Crikey you've hidden this one well I thought
Finally the poking stick hit pay-dirt, or at least plastic. Thank heavens for that
Took dice and left snake... TFTC and a fun time in a nice location [^]

We searched and we searched, we resorted to using the clue, and we still came up empty handed [B)] Will try again another time. It was great to revisit a wonderfull place I used to spend many hours windsurfing some years ago.

1320hrs. Yeah. 2nd time lucky. Been trying to get back here and today no muggles so we could search away. Took a while to find the right rock but we did.
T Key ring
L Rubber stamp set
TFTC in a great part of the coast. Beer at the pub was good too. It is a great pub there.

Searched for this one for ages, rang home for the clue. Was starting to wonder if the cache was still there as it had been a while since it had been found. Were about to leave when Wingaap showed up so we resumed searching and I came up with the goods. Great hide. No swaps.

12.10pm

A cache in one of my favourite spots. Not only that...but I had the pleasure of bumping into another couple of cachers (FatChook & Frosty). FatChook uncovered this one Thanks

This one took us a while but we eventually found knee deep in debri (metaphorically) we left nothing and took nothing.

We have been there twice time. Couldn’t find the cache (SAD) oh boy never mind!!! Maybe come back again one day. Anyway thank you for organise the cache and hunt.

The gang hit the rocks like a bunch of meercats looking for grubs! Finally we found the right nook.Top spot! We all expected to be there for ages from the logs but due to my skilful experience (accidently put my hand on it but don't tell the others),i came up trumps!We did the drink at the local waterhole as recommended and relaxed with the sunseting in the background. The topic "wishuwell's next epic journey.....stay tuned". thanks.
t tb, rubber l golf ball keyring

Spent ages crawling over the rocks looking at all the likely places without any luck. Might come back one day.

Had a search of the area and read the clues carefully. Not successful this time, maybe next time. Lovely area. thanks wishuwell.

Scratched arround like a scrub turkey
Too many mugglers
Further away from prying eyes would be a big plus especally after a long journey for most of us
Great location like all of your caches

It took a girls' look on dusk to find this!

A good hide - we are pleased we have found all in the series today.

As it is getting dark, this is our last cache for the day... Time to go home! TNLN

Thanks to WishUWell you for the series - It took us to places we haven't visited for many years - we enjoyed it very much!

Really not a didn't find as it was a half hearted effort due to the muggles on the BBQ. Wrong time on a beautiful day, being lunch time. Will try again. Still was a great day for 2 wheels.

... another visit ... after confirmation that it had been moved (even though not far) - nice new hidey hole [^] - much better me thinks. Q. As it is a new location, does this then count as another FTF . Anyway, grabbed coin - left 'Spud' TB

Hunted for about 45minutes this morning and absolutely no sign of it. had to make up an interest in lichen and mosses when some muggles asked what i was up to there.

OK - someone is teasing me now...
Spent all last weekend being too slow to grab your coins ... and last night I found out I was too fast !
Saw the coin drop log last night ... and as I was driving past (Harry's Hut to your #11 (it had to be done before I went home))... planned to do a coin swap.
(had already planned a uni field trip for it)
BUT
went straight back to where we found it ... oh no ... it is not there ...
Didn't spend too much time looking around ... (as you did a drop, thought you might have moved it) - I just hope it is alright ... cheers
