Logs
Any chance you can check if it is there or has it gone to the big hide in the sky?
Another dnf, with the help of 2 other cachers and 4 others. Goes well with the other dnfs. Would nearly hope it isnt there to help preserve this piece of our past.
Stopped by to check this one. While I did not search thoroughly after reading previous logs, I reckon hint is pretty much a giveaway. Since it has not been found for over a year, guess it is gone for good. Nice place worth stopping anyway, had to take a picture with the local.
Looked for this one twice but with no luck. Im pretty sure this ones gone.Bit of a shame really its a good spot.

Excited about my first cache but was unable to find. Pretty sure it's not there as I recruited the family to search (about 20 of us).
Lovely place. I must confess, I did not find it using my gps. A friend of mine found it and I placed my Travel Bug in it. I did know of its location though.
Thanks for this cache. This is the third time I have visited this cache since I first found it but the first cache I am logging for myself. My golfball is still there.
Lovely drive down here from the top, not as steep as the top sections of the fire trail but fun nevertheless. And a bonus few creek crossings to liven up proceedings. Given the time of year probably not that unexpected that there were few campers around, but I can't imagine this place ever filling up. Beautiful spot and I will have to camp here in the next couple of years.
Easy find with the hint (which I suggest people use to avoid unnecessary damage/hard work). TNLNSL, thanks Mountain Goat.

Knew from the trip preparations that there were caches down here, but not being the driver, had pretty much discounted doing any of them this trip as I didn't want to ask to keep stopping.
As we finished setting up the camp and started reviewing the GPS unit's stats for the trip - max altitude, max speed (which isn't high in a Suzuki Sierra), Distance travelled, etc etc - I decided to look again for caches nearby, and this one was just over 200 metres away.
As I set off to find it, I cunningly handed the GPS unit to the person who'd been the driver, and who has never been caching before, and said "follow the arrow on that" (while I looked up the details on "cachemate" (great program) on my PDA.
He set off quite keenly, and with some guidance as to what to look for when we reached GZ, he had it in no time.
Didn't even know this structure was here, and yet I'd been here before when I was the driver, and hadn't seen it on that trip. But that trip was very short and rushed, so had no time to explore. This trip should be different.
Friend found his first cache ever, but can't log it as he isn't a cacher - yet.
TNLNSL and thanks for the cache. Will be back when my car is road-worthy (or should that be "OFF-road-worthy") and I'm the driver, and can take my time to do all the others on the way here and back.
By the way.
This cache was REALLY inappropriately named this time around.
The people just the other side of the creek decided to cut up enough wood with a chainsaw, that we started to think they were building a house as well as stocking firewood. And then they finished it with an evening fireworks display, that they thought would be best drawn out over most of the evening up till about 10pm, with just one or two more every half hour or so just as you think they've decided to shut up.
Luckily, they, and the only other campers in the whole place, left Sunday morning bright and early, and we had the whole of Bendethera to ourselves right through till Monday evening, because we were making this trip a long-weekend.

Another top cache in a top spot. We never tire of comming down to the Bendethra valley. The sign boards around here certainly have a lot if interesting information. May take Tangles advice and have a read of The Man from The Misty Mountains, see his log for the nearby Three Elements cache.
Thanks MG for another great cache.

The 5th of 16 cache finds on our big four wheel driving adventure tour, this is a great looking camping area, made us wish we had brought the tents with us, the old oven is looking a bit battered though, rocks are falling off or being pulled off it everywhere, perhaps not the best place to hide a cache as people will no doubt be turning over rocks as we did looking for it but it's still a nice area TNLNSL TFTC

We tried this one as a night cache last night but it was a dismal failure. This morning turned better luck. An easy find for our most junior Ozkateer who made out he could not understand what all the fuss was about. I loved the peace'n quiet though. TFTC.
Found at night while at the "Gone Bush" event. Thanks Mountain Goat for inviting us here and thanks to cache track for getting us there.
Let's find this one in the dark of night while at the "Gone Bush" event. Bingo there it is and still dry after the deluge earlier in the evening, when it rains down here it sure does rain.
Thanks Mountain Goat

Grabbed this one whilst there was a break in the rain at Gone Bush 2007.
Had to go up twice as forgot to take a swap the first time.
took nothing

A quick find in the rain! This one was a short walk from where we camped for the Gone Bush event. I was just reviewing the logs and realised that Albida was in the area when we got our DNF last time and he was here again on this day...
Thanks MG for a great cache. The information boards around this area tell of some of the ingenuity of the day.

Whilst down in the valley at Goin Bush 2007, it was a chance to get a few of the local caches. It is good to see this one back in action at one of the key attractions in the valley.

The new cache and log book are in place and this cache is good to go again!
We went out to this one with some pretty specific instructions on where it was from The Mountain Goat hoping for another find but it wasn't to be. It looks like this one has definitely been muggled.
Sorry Mountain Goat. We look forward to finding this one when it is replaced. We might even camp out here during a quiet time.

From Big_Matt's description I would have to say that NPWS have removed this one when they cleared around the area?
I will prepare a replacement cache and maybe relocate slightly away from the oven ASAP.
Stay tuned for a 4WD/Camping event which we will hopefully be holding out here in about two months when the weather cools off a little and camp fires are permitted once again!
Thanks to Matt & Shell for checking this one out.

This is redundant now, but I spent 20mins looking so I thought it would be worth logging the DNF. I may have seen another intensive search on Friday afternoon ? I was camping on Graveyard flat.

I've just received word that this cache may well have been muggled? I haven't gone to check yet but apparently NPWS have been in the area and cleared all around the bush oven where the cache was hidden?
I will check on it in the next few weeks (a little busy at the moment with an event coming up) and advise. Or if someone is going out there anyway and could have a look I'd be grateful?
Let's hope all is OK?

FOUND THIS ONE ON A BIKE RIDE. GOOD TO SEE IT BACK ON THE GO IN A GREAT SPOT
TNLNSL THANKS GOATEE!

This one took us a while to find, not wanting to do any damage, and also worried about the surrounding Bursaria.
This place is totally magnificent, and will be our first of hopefully many visits.
Took glo-stick, left $1.
Thanks, Mark
