GET ME HOME

Due to a location confilct, something unfortunate happened to this cache.

It has been mistakenly collected by a geocacher with good intentions, and is no longer located at the above co-ordinates.

In an attempt to return this container and contents to its owner (Me) this cache is now a moveable cache.

So now the following rules/guidlines apply to this container.

find it and log it, and move it along. then post an updated set of coordinates for your move.

Prefernce is for it to move hand to hand amongst geocachers where possible at events,or caching days or planned meetings

but move and hide is still acceptable.

Please only move it if you are going to move it closer to the coords listed above.

I will maintian a leaderboard of geocachers names listing the largest distance made good ( moverd closer to target)

so if you're keen on being on the list, move the cache a long way!

I have left the original text from the cache here below for historical reference...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No current cache info below this line

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apparently this is one of the closest locations to where the B&W teams passed across what is the main road west for this region.

We went inside and had a chat to the owner, so he's ok with us leaving the container in his care. so drop in and say hi if you have the time, I'm sure they'll be interested to hear from you.

The owner of the Topar roadhouse told us of another location about 20 miles from Topar that has a cave on it, apparently where B&W camped for some time in this area. It has carvings and names painted on the walls. Unfortunately we could not get an exact location from him, nor had we the time to investigate.

Sadly the local aboriginals have claimed the land and caged off the cave so no one can access it now anyway.

You can find the cache quite easily during the day, but be aware that the dogs behind the fence will probably bring the roadhouse owner to investigate the noise after hours, so probably best to do this one during the day.

G'day,

This cache was given to me by a friend on Sunday. He found it at GZ whilst doing an environmental survey before GZ was cleared for development / constuction. If the CO would like the cache, please get in contact with me. I will be on the Central Coast next weekend, but live in Wollongong.

This cache looks like it's MIA so to stop it turning up in the search lists we'll archive it. If the owner can confirm it's in place they can reactive the listing by placing an unarchived log against the cache.

Could the owner of this cache please update the coordinates of this cache to reflect the State that it is currently residing in?

This bizarre cache needs to be changed to a movable type. Please.

Can't its still a regular cache. Owner has to adjust location.

Can there at least be a "moved" log submitted to get this cache in the correct state?

Ok. Dropped by 38 Ryans Rd Woy Woy and picked the cache up again. Now where to go with it. Out of curiosity decided to head up the road towards some bush I could see to see if there was a good spot around there somewhere. Nothing immediately became apparent but then there was an option.
Cache has been dropped off at S33 30.284 E151 18.361. As this is not quite a movable I can't do a hint. But its at the base of a tall natural object.

Ok so I checked out the coords that was asked to move to and found it was at a house. So I dropped it off at the house location with a note. The note said call me if you know nothing about this and geocaching. Not surprisingly I did get a phone call, the owner had heard of geocaching but he knew nothing about this cache. So I agreed I would pick it up again the next day.

I think I wrote this date on the log for when I first updated the log. LuckyL10n passed it onto me as I live right near Woy Woy and it is sort of a weekly commute for me between Canberra and the coast. Well it was as I am now back and working in Sydney. I will carry it and drop off at the coast soon.

#GA923 - 14:00; Collected this cache from sharkiefan at the Captains Flat Meet n greet Event today. I know a traveller who heads up towards Woy Woy pretty regularly, so am hoping this cache can hitch a ride north in the next week or two. In the meantime, I guess a few of the Canberra locals will have a chance to log it. TFTC GeoMonkeys Very Happy

Found this cache with a gnome in Beaufort. Not where it was listed. I will move it into Melbourne and may hold onto it until Easter (if that's ok) and take it to Canberra with me then. if CO wants to contact me, I can drop it off. such a shame I didn't find this earlier. I was working in Gosford for a few weeks in December! tftc

Found at the Ferns Pyrenees Retreat cache on the top of Mount Cole, near Beaufort in Vic.
We held an event at the nearby Richards Campground for New Years Day today and afterwards Fergzter told us about this cache.
We have picked it up today and will try to find a place nearby in Beaufort or Raglan or Buangor where it can be safe but easy to pick up. We hope to get to SA ourselves in maybe a few weeks, so if it hasn't gone by then, we will take it with us.
Will post co-ords as soon as we find it a nice hidey hole nearby.

Edit 17/1/16
Have placed this cache with a gegnome at S37 26.121 E143 24.580
And we've realised that the home co-ords for this cache are not SA but in Woy Woy NSW.
If it hasn't been picked up by the time we go to an event, we will take it along with us if we can find another cacher who is heading northwards.

This cache is currently in the hands of 'thewhitedoggang' they emailed me to advise of the error that occurred.
No coordinates or location have been given. Pray

as yet they have not replied to any of my further emails so, at this stage all we can do is wait for them to respond.
Unless someone is familiar with the team members and can follow up for me. Whistle

aparently the opub at this locaqtion has been taken over by new owners, and they arent happy about havng the cache there.
so this one has been removed to keep them happy.
i am archiving it, the container is in the hands of a (somewhat) local geocacher who will be hiding it someplace new,to begin its journey home as a new moving container. Embarassed

My first B&W geocache! My first trip out this far west also. Great hide. The dog I found once on the other side of the fence was so harmless - it was a cuddle-puss. The dog in the car beside the geocache was another story - it sounded really mean. Was dark when we arrived here so I couldn't see it. Thankfully the owner of that dog was inside and didn't hear the ruckus.
Took screwdriver, left metal double clip-carabina-thing.

Awesome big ammo box. Thanks for making this easy to find. Lots of trucker muggles about. Some interesting history and my third B&W cache. Great series.

South Australia 2013 with Sol de Lune. We headed off on 12/4 and arrived home on 28/4. The trip was to visit the SA series so more time could be spent at the Mega itself next year. We did a huge variety of caching around Murray Bridge, the Mid North, Yorke Peninsula and Whyalla Region. Apart from one wet night and two wet days we were able to spend heaps of time caching.

Thanks.

I actually camped here on the way west but it was too cold to go looking for a cache at 11pm when I pulled up here. Today on the way home I pulled in and made a simple find before all the grey nomads pulled in for the night.

This one took the longest of any to find due to the bus full of people milling around taking photos of the water views and birds.

After they left the find was made and it was good to see an ammo can.
Now to get to Broken Hill before dark.
