Good Day,

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

In Brisbane for a conference and naturally taking some extra time to go Geocaching. So conference is over, now time for some serious caching. Heading out to Toowoomba for a few days to cache around the area. We much prefer small towns and country caching to big city caching.

No luck here for us either. Good description but nothing to be found in spite of an extensive hunt.

Easy find. Camping near by.

DNF. Accidently said I did.

No luck with this one on the way back from Dalby and beyond
Thanks for the hunt

Found with Mum and Ranibaskale. I was originally part of 'Jess & Caro' with Mum but now I have my own geocaching profile we are sorting my logs for caches we found together. TFTC!

This was our second time having a gander for this one after no cache last time some months ago. After geokale received his first geokit for Christmas it had to be broken in. Lol... First find for 2018 for GeoK. Tftc

We easily found this one while showing the kids where I grew up. Unfortunately there's not enough room to drop our travel bug!

Even with the very specific hint, I was unable to find this cache. Perhaps it has been moved?

TFTC

Thanks for this one pity I couldn't have a drink

Found it on our way to tara tftc

This was a cool place, loved the history lesson. Cache found as per hint, first name on the replacement log. Thanks for replacing grannysmith1947 & thanks for placing the cache & bringing us here WitchPig xo

No joy for us here today. Looks like this one has gone

In Dalby so stopped off on my way home but no luck with this one. Good hint but no, cache.

I can not see a needs maintenance log on this cache,
From the [Help Centre,](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=57)
>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.

and from the [Archive help centre article](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=56)
>Please use this log only when there are serious problems with the cache or its location. Do not use it if the cache needs repairs, or you didn't find it, or the location made you uncomfortable. Please consider first contacting the owner of the geocache with your concerns. Use the profile link next to the cache owner's name at the top of the cache page to send an email, as well as logging to the cache page about your visit.

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.

After this many DNF's and no investigation by CO this cache should be removed from the page.

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

7 DNFs since October & no activity from the CO in 7 months?
I think we'll just give this one a miss.

Tried to find but was unable

DNF with Muggle sister and Shabby62 on a trip to NT -SA- VIC-NSW and of course QLD

??

Looked everywhere. Stood at the coordinates but no luck. Checked the clue and still didnt find it. Maybe next time.

Out and about but failed to unearth this one.

Dnf- followed all the clues even crawling around to look under. Not successful today.

Easy find on our wat to Toowoomba. Thanks WitchPig

Dicided to head out west today for some smileys and to see what we could find. Stopped in on this beauty. Love the old history tftc

Great little cache. Easy find. I didn't even know this park was there

Found it TFTC

Found it but was under the tank. I tried following the hint to put it back where I hope it's meant to be. TFTC

Chris and Payge found it 6.7.16

Meg, Bella and Jo found it!

Great little spot to stop for lunch. They have done a terrific job with the old station - quite interesting. TFTC.

Easiest find yet....probably say bit to much of a hint tho

Found with grandson Fizzer Jnr who played in the playground with Mrs Jabiru4721. Climbed up where I didn't need to go but found it in the end. Thanks

Lovely old railway station had a bit of a look after grabbing the cache, signed and replaced where we found it. Visited 2 TB TFTC

Fizzer Jrn found with grandad.

Found this one on the way to Brisbane for a boys weekend to the speedway

Easy find, nice stop

With a day off work and my awesome geopartner WallabyTim visiting from the Sunshine Coast, we set out from Toowoomba to conquer a new town. We selected Dalby and set out for an afternoon of exploration. With time to spare, we turned off to Bowenville to secure this cache. It turned out to be very easy as the cache was found in plain sight on the ground. Log signed and cache placed in what is hopefully the correct spot. TFTC

Found with my amazing geo-partner KaleidoscopeCass.

Found on the ground with no magnet. Have put back on the bearer above where I found it . Tftc

Great to see the community maintaining its heritage. TFTC. Found as we head west on the last leg of our 12 month great Aussie Road Trip

Tftc, sl on way to friends engagement party

I can see why the hint is so detailed. Up and under! Luckily my 7 year old is small enough!

La Kedi managed to grab this one as it was a little out of my reach. Thanks WitchPig.

Found, though I did start by inspecting the wrong structure entirely! Then I turned on my GPSr... Even with the excellent hint, I still had to get down and dirty to retrieve the cache, which wasn't magnetised to anything in the spot where I found it? Neatly kept little park, well done Bowen(mango)ville! TFTC, WitchPig. =^.^=

Cool, little cache! Thanks WitchPig! Good area.

I was driving home from Dalby and felt a strong urge to pull in here for a look. The setup inside was impressive but also just a little creepy as I had the feeling one or more of the mannequins were moving out of the corner of my eye...
Anyway, the very clear hint led to a fast find, which was much appreciated so TFTC.

Very nice spot. Travelling out to Bell and it made for a nice pit stop.

Such a lovely little spot. Camping close by and decided to spend the morning finding a few cache. After a play on the park while waiting for the niggles to leave we managed to find the cache with not to many issues just a few spiders.

We were camped out at nearby Bowenville reserve and drove around the area to find a few caches. Thanks for bringing us here.

For Net88’s birthday this year, she, Captain Terror, and I went on a road trip of awesomeness, taking us out west from Brisbane.
A total of six days, our whirlwind adventure took us West through Dalby, Miles, Tara and Surat, and then South through Lightning Ridge (the farthest West I’d been!). Then we’d continue South through Walgett, Pilliga, Baradine, and Coonabarabran to Tamworth. Then it was through Uralla to Armidale, and Maclean to Yamba, and finally back to Brisbane.
We saw kangaroos, emus, baby emus, kookaburras, giant guitars, so many sunsets, and so many snacks, thanks to the help of Snackman.
A nice holiday from work, it was also a great excuse to pick up geocaches along the way.

Each year I like to get out of Brisbane for a week or so around my birthday in September. This year I decided to plan a road trip which would take myself, Captain Terror and catscatcat22 on a 2700km loop of southern Queensland and northern New South Wales. We were gone from the 18-24 September and visited Dalby, Miles, Tara, Surat, St. George, Lightning Ridge, Walgett, Coonabarabran, Tamworth, Uralla, Armidale, Maclean, Yamba then came home following the coast road.

This was the 2nd cache for me for the trip. When we pulled up there was a car load of muggles but as we were emptying our rubbish from morning tea into the bin they left. We headed over to GZ and checked out the station house before starting the search for the container. It was an easy find and soon our names were also in the logbook. With the container replaced as found it was time to take a few photos and get back on the road. Thanks for the cache WitchPig.

TFTC. Probably like so many we drive past these little spots without a glance. Thanks for putting this cache there. Interesting history. Hint very helpful.

My first find:)

Stopped in for a quick smoko and a quick find.

TFTC. Quick find on a drive to Dalby. Interesting history. Looks as if somebody is watching but it is the statue in the station display.

Found on our way to Canberra. Geocaching is great for history, its these little towns that helped shape Australia but we probably wouldn't have stopped normally. SL TFTC

Quick find

My first cache for the day while heading out to Lake Broadwater on my geocaching birthday weekend Jelly the Wonderdog thought this was a lovely spot for a sniff and while I found the cache she snuffled her way around the area. I had to look twice, but I eventually found the well hidden beasty. Left my signature and replaced the cache as it had been found. A very interesting place for a cache, thanks for bringing me here!

Thanks for the cache WitchPig

Lovely little park, nice to see the station here, interesting history! found it after searching a few minutes TFTC

That was a good description. TFTC

Took other peoples hints and all couldn't find though will come back and try again soon. Lucky I past this spot all the time. It will not beat me

On my way home to Townsville (2hrs North of Bowen ) along the Inland Highway. Took a little while to find this one.
TFTC

Tftc...

Located the cache, however no paper in it - found some paper we had in the car and signed it and we were on our way. TFTC

No log book in cache. Placed a strip of paper in it till new log put in there.

On geocaching weekend with Richmond Lad to Kingaroy and Nanango to find some of the caches not found when up here a few months ago. Today was spent in Bunya Mts, Dalby and long way back to Kingaroy. Cache container was empty but some paper put in.

Very quick find. No log to sign unfortunately.
TFTC. Nice to read about the old station.

Miss log book and was found out in the open

Missing log book and found out in the open

Nice one! Found on way home with quick kid stop at park. Tftc.

Day two of our two-day adventure to central Queensland for Beeline_01 and I! Today we return to Brisbane after an overnight stay on a little farm in Taroom. We decide to pick up a few more caches along the way.

We were glad for the clue or this one could have taken a fair while to find. Quite the tricky hide witchpig, but certainly a spot with the visit. An interesting bit of history here that certainly raised the eyebrow as we approached.

Log signed and returned. Thanks for bringing us here.

#366. This was our second attempt. This time we were really determined to find it and we did without much difficulty. tftc

Managed to avoid juggles while retrieving and replacing cache. TFTC

TFTC it was nice old rail station

A very quick find for my first cache of the new year.
No muggles around at 7am either for some strange reason

TFTC

Hidden well had to get the kids to look for this one

Found by the geogirl on way to Dalby! Tdtc

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the "land down under."
As we approached GZ we were disheartened to see that the park was busy with council workers making improvements to the grounds. We couldn't possibly get this one without them noticing our suspicous actions. So we decided to speak with them and let them know what we were up to. There were 3 of them, Ellisa, Ray & Martin from the Toowoomba Region Council. None of them had heard of Geocaching so we filled them in on the game. They were excited and joined us in our quest. After some searching we came up with the elusive little mint tin and signed the log. I wouldn't be surprised if one or more of them doesn't become a cacher!
Thanks for the fun WitchPig!

Thought i would make a quick stop on my way back to brissy. Nothing quick about this one. Im either caching blind today or it has gone walkies.

Nice bit of local history though.

Pulled up at GZ for find number 6 for today and was a little worried about the newish looking addition. After a short search and dirty knees we had the cache in hand with log signed and replaced we were on our way. TFTC WitchPig
