Bumbo Lake Bodalla, New South Wales, Australia
By The Mountain Goat on 10-Sep-06. Waypoint GCY749

One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep 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 28 days), just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Looks like this one may be missing...

Nice spot - but looked with Mister JD for 40 minute still no luck finding the cache think this has gone

My first "did not find"!!! Knightech and I looked for it for over half an hour. We found the "obvious" place straight off, with no luck. We then had a really good poke around, with no results. The location was really beautiful. I like geocaching - I doubt I would ever have got to this spot, despite passing the turnoff 100 or so times in my life.

Had to go in twice as reception disappeared. Nope. No cache.

Muggled

Found the spot but no cache

Had a good look around, however, was not able to locate the cache.

100% confident we found the hide, but alas no cache. However very impressed by this out of the way spot. So close yet so out of the way.

Found a likely spot but cache not found, perhaps muggles have been this way.

Now this was a lovely spot I didn't know existed. The cache was lying exposed. We returned it to its rightful place and covered it. It is in need of a new log book.

Good find in a delightful location. TFTC

Unfortunately we could have a bit of a field day with this one in relation to the name. Firstly we bottomed out on a cattle grid on our way to the cache. Then we had to dodge lots of cattle "patties". Then finally as we approached GZ we discovered that one of the visiting cattle had even used toilet paper. Well it was either a very clever cow or a piggy person! This spoilt the cache which was in an otherwise pleasant location. Found at 1535 - took nothing - left a beetle and ladybug. Thanks for the cache.

great spot. need new log book as was over full. tftc.

Great spot. Would have liked more time to drown a worm or two. Collected Wyoming travel bug to take to Central Victoria. Thanks.

We are in Narooma for a few days of relaxation, fishing and of course caching. We decided to head north and find some of the caches on the way to Tuross Heads. The countryside around here is so green and lush. The cows we drove right past were certainly enjoying the grass. We parked not far from GZ and once on the right level we had the cache in hand. This cache has been around for nearly six years so we decided to drop off the Wyoming TB. On the way back to the highway we stopped to take some photos of the very curious cows. TNLNSL TFTC

Nice spot.

GeoKids were still asleep in the car so GeoWife went searching first and then GeoHubby found it later.
iPhone was having us search about 5m away from GZ. As soon as I stopped relying on the iPhone and looked around, I saw a likely (and correct) hiding spot.
We signed the log immediately under E Bunny who introduced us to GeoCaching.
TFTC and a lovely view of the river along with authentic cow smells!

We love this area. Logbook is nearly full. tftc

What a beautiful place, a hidden gem. TFTC

Wow what a beautiful spot so glad we had the chance to look for this cache, we will certainly be going back on a nice day for fishing, picnicing and kayaking and or simply relaxing, thank you

Nice easy find on our day out with Macasmob.
Great place to fish and have a swim.
Thank you The Mountain Goat

Nice location. Found with Aspenology. Would be a great place to take boat out.. TFTC. TNLNSL

follow the smell

What a great place to wet a line with the geokids

Oh what a beautiful little place. Geokid is very keen to come fishing here.

Pooring rain wasnt going to stop us from getting this one. Had to wait for boat load of fishing muggles and land fishing muggles to leave before searching. Got bogged on the way out. lol Advice to anyone.. when its been raining, stay on the road.

Wow, what a top little spot, nice and quiet as well as being very pretty. Didn't take too long to find the cache. Many thanks.

What a big surprise Bumbo Lake turned out to be. Thank you. We can't wait to get the kayak back on the water in summer. Great cache too.

Had a few issues with my GPS but was still able to find it... What a great location, I wish I had a picnic lunch and a fishing rod with me... TFTH... SL TNLN...

Noticed that this one wasn't too far from the highway and decided to take a punt and have a go at this one!
Nice drive in through the curious cows at dusk. This looks like a great spot to spend some time fishing so thanks for bringing us here.
Mr FM headed up the hill to find the cache, while Mrs FM peered into the water hoping to see some fish life.

The log only has 1 or 2 pages left and will need replacing soon.
TFTC! SL. TNLN.

Nice quick find with the Geokids on an afternoon drive. What a beautiful place. Thanks for bringing us here.

Driven past the turn off here I don't know how many times over the years we've been coming south on holidays. A cache gave us a good excuse to make a detour for a quick but prickly find. Great view of a lovely lake.
Thanks!

2:14 PM

A few fishing muggles around so had to find a different parking spot and then go for the find. Definetly has the wrong shoes on for this one as I got a few pricles on the way.

TFTC!

Found on a caching run with ACBC 66 and fitzy_1965.

Out finding some "treasures" with Fitzy and the geokid (Awesome L).
There were some fisherman around but well before where we needed to be.
There was however, a COW going for a swim! (see attached pic). That made for raucous laughter from all of us.
TFTC! Geokid took the orange hedgehog and left a compressed towel.

3487 + 88 = 3575. A run down to Narooma with ACBC 66 and AwesomeL...

A short detour off the highway - a nice spot with a few fishermen and even a cow who wanted to go for a swim ! A quick find at GZ - Thanks The Mountain Goat !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Found today. What a lovely spot. Log book full. TFTC

Took Spinning top and shell
Left Orange hedge hog and yellow car

Nice location, the geowife got bitten by some blackberries on her way to GZ. Several fishermuggles around.

Found this one as we happened to be parked 30m away from it when we were having a picnic anyway! Lovely spot and some of the nicest views to both the mountains and the beaches.

Lovely spot on a nice drive. Pulled up to GZ to find what appeared to be some fellow cachers. Turned out it was DOMSKY from the ACT. Nice meeting you guys. TFTC.

We are going to add this to our favourites simply because of its gorgeous location-wish I'd been on my bicycle.
As we were leaving, another family of cachers arrived. Watch out for the enormous cowpats and the mozzies.
TNLN

Thanks, Domsky

Staying on a friends property on Bumbo Road, very impressed to find a cache so close. Went investigating the local fishing spots and dropped of a TB that needs to get (eventually) to Australia Zoo in QLD. Via any other zoo around (already visited the National Zoo and Aquarium, so please don't take back to the ACT). TFTC

The log book is full and needs replacing.

Beautiful area and one I havn't visited before. Thanks The Mountain Goat.

Found with Juniper! Lovely break from the highway.

Log book full. Took tb, left carabeener. Pat is heading north

Beware the land mines! The local cows have been browsing around the gz.

So glad we turned off onto this road to seek the cache. Such a picture perfect example of the best rural NSW has to offer. Curious cows, beautiful river and a stunning kingfisher to boot - perfect. Anyone thinking about hunting this cache should think no longer - just go down and take a look. Took nothing, left pink cadillac - TFTC!!!!

Easy find in a good spot. Log & contents are a little damp. TNLN.

Another nice spot for an overnighter but the signs say (camping prohibited), oh well the local farmers still share the water for fishing, boating and picnicing and the cache of course. TFTC.

A lovely location off the Highway, but it would have been nice to stay a while and launch the boat. Took geocoin and left a weroamin token.

TFTC left TB. Swapped small toys.

love the river, log book was a bit wet

2nd for the day

Found it - all good. Love this area so beauty - I wish I could stay there longer.... Also plenty cows there - remind me of my childhood... No swap. SL. Thanks The Mountain Goat

On a campervan road trip around the South East of Australia after attending the Megga event in Wagga Wagga.

This was one of the caches we found on our journey.

TFTC

Love this spot. Looks like a great place to fish.

Ah!! Another of those delightful riverside areas the guide books don't tell you about
Great for picnicing or fishing away the time
Cache was damp inside and I did me best to air it out a bit.
TFTC.

A nice location for cache. Cache was wet but log is dry, cache may need a bit of TLC.
TFTC / TFTH / SL

I tried for this cache today but the whole area is under water and we couldn't get any closer than 500m.

A nice find after letting the geohounds in for a swim in the river back down the road.

A beautiful short drive off the highway, through rolling green hills in such contrast to the dryness of the ACT. Thanks The Mtn Goat.

Our last of 7 finds today, with Mrs MPH.

A nice little spot here, but had an unpleasant experience while here - there was a middle aged muggle couple skinny dipping nearby, which if it had been Jennifer Hawkins would not have been an issue......but it wasn't..........(shudder).........

Nice quick find of the cache however and we left the area as soon as possible so as to not require psychiatric treatment....

TFTC!

What a beautiful, peaceful spot, to visit. Our last of 14 caches for the day, and we would have loved to stay here. Sign said no camping, so we moved onTNLN SL

200th cache find! WOOHOO!!!!
This is truly a beautiful spot on this fragile planet. Well worth visiting even if not GCing.
Obviously quite fertile land judging by the number of cow pats around the are of GZ!
Left a fish scale, TNSL TFTC

Found by Mary & David at 1015. Marvellous views. Quite a change to see rivers like this in comparison to most Victorian ones. Lots of people out with boats or fishing rods already. Our thanks once more to The Mountain Goat.

There certainly wasn't anyone around here today, I had the joint to myself.
A really nice spot by the river, unfortunately, no rod.
Maybe next time.
Thanks, Robmc

Another short detour had us a cool area along the river. A few muggles in the area, all by the river, so the cache could be located with hassle.

A great area, thanks again Mountain Goat.

42nd of 56 caches on the publc holiday.

Lovely area!

Time for a Mea Culpa: I found this cache in November '09 with TraineeDiplomat and Aboreham but neglected to log it online at the time.

While the details of the day are now mostly lost to memory, it was an great day with many excellent caches.

TFTC

Again, apologies for the lateness of the log.

Found with TD and BB!

Found at 1100. We were in the area to do the Tuross Bridges and this one was nice and close so included it. Thanks The Mountain Goat.

Dropped into get this one as we were passing by.
Took TB
Left Magnafying glass

Thanks. Dropped off Prawn Star.

Found with Gloriosa. Mugglefisherpeople in locations to east and west but no view of GZ. Plenty of cowpads to avoid. TNLN. TFTC at a nice spot overlooking the river.

A new road to explore and beautiful waterviews. Found with Wahlenbergia. TFTC

Our first find! we had lots of fun finding this, and woke two sleeping wallys to find it together as a team. Lots of fishermen wondering what we were doing!

Left: an action man
took: a lego doll

Found this one not soon enough as the mozzies were just starting to feed

284 (+8=292)

Time to head home from the coast (admittedly via a longer route). Nice spot in here by the river.

Thanks,
Gwen

Ywurry took coin. LN

This place reminded us of caching back in the UK with all the cow pats everywhere!
Nice spot, thanks,

A quick dash up this hill by our driver Moneydork had this cache quickly found. Cheers Gav [2895]

Found this one with Moneydork, Tofska , Rediguana and ADV during our Australian caching holiday.

Starting to fight over getting the find now with Moneydork making an unexpected dash up the hill to find this one. Good spot.

4th for the day, Gold for Rice and bronze for the girls Australian 4x100 freestyle team yaaayy !!!!

Enjoyable little spot. I fisshed here with my grandfather a couple of times as a kid. Didn't catch anything though.

Nice use of cow poo as a camouflage a golden effort...

My satnav refused to believe Bumbo Road was connected to the highway and wanted me to travel 33km in a round trip from the bridge. Luckily I refused to believe it and was there in short order. Quick find, you need to watch where you tread here. Thanks Mountain Goat.

Lovely spot. Will come back and do some canoeing along the river next time.
