As there's been no cache to find for months, 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 the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
7 months have passed since "will replace soon" log. Suggest if not to be maintained then it should be archived. If owner will maintain it soon, then maybe we can find it and log it.
Dropped in here today didn't realise it was unavailable as we are on holidays, Oh well at least that explains why we couldn't find it...
Just went to drop off a geocoin and pick up travel bug but couldn't find the cache. There are a few stubbies there instead.
Been to look for this one on many occasions hoping that it not in place due to floods. Just like stop the world only found beer bottles.

Drove right up to the cache location and found it without any problems. TNLNSL.
It was very warm and still today and the swimming hole looked inviting but, no, there are more caches to do!

We basically drove right up to the cache and quickly found the cache. The waterhole looked very inviting. TNLNSL Thanks for the cache
We had a look a few days earlier but a group was camped under ground zero. came back a few days later after going on the railway - this too was good, and found it without too many headaches. due to holiday mode we forgot to log the find. anyway thanks for the cache.

This is our first ever cache! Found it fairly easily, after some wandering and working out how the Navman works. It's in quite a different site to where GoogleEarth showed it, but a great hiding spot.
Took a martian in a spaceship, left a Telstra armband.

Yarrum jnr finally found the cache with his friends Team Redbacks. It was much easier and far more enjoyable to do, now that the coordinates have been corrected. Everyone thought it was a great spot,the boys had a swim to finish off after their discovery. Thanks for the cache and the opportunity to visit the park.
Left 5 soldiers, took small snake and lizard. SL

Damn Damn....We feel thoroughy beaten by an 8 year old. Spent lots of time looking for this one to no avail. All we got for our efforts were bruises and scratches. BUT we were not the only disappointed people.
Yarrum jnr was keen to try and find this one, but we came back empty handed. It was a bit of an unpleasant hunt. Came back scratched and sweaty. It has a terrain rating of 1.5, so I am wondering if there is some kind of error in the coordinates. There appears to be no public tracks or trails to the GZ, (however you can avoid pushing through all the tall grass and overgrown bushes and fallen trees if you detour onto a private access road). We persevered for quite a while, tried an alternate datum, and even wandered down to the nearby park which appeared to fit the clues a bit better. But alas no luck. We bumped into "The Goons" while we were there,who appear to have similar results to us. We will wait untill someone else has found it before we try again.
