Found GA1335 "Dammed if I do, Damned if i don't!" by SG-3 today at 1237hrs with GoldJ.
The cache was last found by Team Bubble Tea on the 10th April 2012.

My log read:
"Hi SG-3
What a pretty little spot.
Was not dammed or damned either way 'cos with GoldJ's company; finding this cache was a DAMNED good experience.
We logged this cache at 1237hrs

It's remoteness is definitely the reason it does not get found more often.

GCWRZ0 Craitbuls Final Quest - Berrins Peak
I made the find on 01/01/2011, 608 days after the previous finder on 03/03/2010 and the 9th finder since it was published in mid 2006.
This cache as the name suggests is the final in a series and the owner stopped caching and let one of the caches get archived shortly after I began caching. I worked on this for quite some time and searched a line approximately one kilometre long across steep and heavily vegetated terrain over several trips to Mount Gambier to eventually make the find making this possibly the hardest cache I've ever completed. The missing cache and it's clues have since been restored making it a lot easier to calculate GZ and it has since been found another 5 times.

"What the ?" Had been the topic of discussion for sometime on Geocaching WA page and hadn't been found for 19 months so a few of us thought why not ?

The first waypoint was gone but with inside intel, we had way point 2 and continued from there.

The cache was found after much bush bashing, scratches and bumps. But we'll worth it in the end and very rewarding to also rescue a long out of circulation TB.

Had a great morning out with wileyclan, damomo and cabbie1

Found GCYK3H "Tim's Field of View" with GoldJ on the 15th April 2013 at 1050hrs; this cache was last found by TimTamToo on the 28th September 2011.

Has probably not been found for such a long time because of its remote location, having to get keys for boom gates if you don't want to walk and the weather conditions on given days when cachers wanted to make an assault on this trig.

Overall, we had a great experience!

Today being April Fools Day (1/4/2013) I set off to find GC1GVRM "Up, up and ... be quick" by pjamesk. I logged the cache at 1330hrs.

It was last logged by Wilco on the 18th May 2011.

My log read:
"Hi pjamesk
Had planned to do a couple of caches on the mountain today but the wind was making the clouds move too fast so this cache became a better option.

Firstly, I must aske if DnAs held hands all the way in the moonlight?

Secondly, I too found the wier by not following my first instincts!

Thirdly; it being the 1st of April 2013 and starting my walk on the Lime Kiln Track; need I say more than this cache made a BIG APRIL FOOL of this cacher - stop laughing - probably 6 to ten extra km, took more time than I'd anticipated and climbed more "HILL" than I had to!!!

Fourthly; I logged the cache at 1330hrs.

Just to help the next cacher; even though pjamesk has asked us not to; I will tell you that I transported the log book from WPx to WPy; a total of xy metres up the hill.

The name is true - Up and up and up ...
but you can't be quick
If you're too slick
You'll make yourself sick
Take a walking stick
To help you complete this caching trick!

TFTC and cheers
OldSaint."

Probably not found before now as it has a remote location and the log book can be in one of nine WP containers on what can only be described as a very steep climb!!

On our short road trip to the big island we found a cache called 1152, GA0341. It's coordinates are S35 02.510 E147 24.821 and it's not far north of Wagga Wagga. The last find is listed as 10 July 2011.

We found it fairly easily so not sure why there haven't been any finds for so long. It's right beside the highway so almost a drive by and on a major road. Strange.

Jointly found on 15 Feb 2013 by pjmpjm and rogerw3

Lack of logs since its publication on 8 June 2007 could be due to its relative remoteness, position at the end of a steep trail up a mountain, and the fact that you initially have to pass through a kind of private outdoor 'museum' of old aircraft and vehicles. And of course it's a multi.

Very rewarding find in a beautiful spot.

While I was doing a run today (30th of Jaunary 2013), with Sol de lune, and we found a cache called Just A Cache - GC3B4K3. This hadn't been found since the 26th of January 2012, so a bit more than a year. This may have been because it's a long drive to GZ in such a remote area. A very nice place though. Great idea for a locationless. Thanks Cached!

Hi cached
Found GA0931 "Acting the Goat" by sirius Tas on the 14th Jan 2013; which was last found and logged by "deadolga" on the 9 Oct 2011.

My log read:
"Hi sirius
It is really impressive atop Goat Island.
Loved it even more whilst on top and the big seagulls started dive bombing me.
The view are tremendous.
The off to find the cache-what an adventure that turned out to be.
Even had to get "serious" about it!
Finally located and signed the log at 1134hrs.
Tide was well out when I started the assault on this cache but got wet legs and feet (up to the knees) on the way back! STOP LAUGHING!!
Thanks for a great adventure.
TFTC and cheers
OldSaint."

The reason for the long delay maybe due to the positioning of the cache, having to have the tide right to access the island and the fact that it is a multi involving a sometimes difficult place to access.

GCRMHE - Beach Track

Admittedly it did end up being a 7km return trip (on foot) along a nice stretch of beach..... but not too difficult especially given the great weather.

I started at Brunswick Beach (GC37FGJ) which was found about a week ago walked about 1.5km to Simpsons Creek (GCRMHD) which was found in the last month and another 2km to this unloved cache which was last found In October 2011. Now for the 3.5km walk back to the car.

No finds in 2012 so happy to show it some loving at the beginning of 2013.

Thanks for the cache. Cheers!!

Another unloved cache to log. This time GA0306 'Those were the days'. Again, not sure why it hasn't been found more recently. Probably because its a puzzle cache and they seem to scare off a lot of cachers. It was a fun puzzle so well worth the effort. It was last found on 17/9/2011 and I found it today (21/12/2012).

GC2Q94M - WanAus 172 - LKA Calingiri.
Last found on 27/11/2011. Found by me 20/12/2012.
Not sure why it hasn't been found in so long. Possibly because its a multi requiring you to stop and get some info. I must admit I've been passed a few times but have never had the time to stop and spend the time getting the required info. In the end I didn't even have to leave the car to get it so it didn't take much more effort than a traditional cache.

We were on our last bushwalk for the year, this one being around Altona Coastal Park and Cherry Lake, and as usual, I'd loaded both GC and GCA caches for finding along the walk route. One of the GCA caches, Carpobrotus Glaucescens (GA2187), showed up as not having been found in 53 weeks ! Sure enough, upon opening the logbook, that proved to be the case. It's a bit surprising really as it is only about 40 metres from the walking path, the way to GZ from the path is quite easy and the find is not particularly difficult .

Amazingly, the cache was placed in May 2010, some 31 months ago, and had been found 27 times before we found it yet it has been just over 12 months since its last find on 3 December 2011 .

Many thanks for the 2-for-1 opportunity Cached and hopefully these 'unloved' caches get a bit more activity over time.

Often working in Cas I've been known to take a Tetnaus jab as it was spare and already drawn up.
So when I found this cache out in Tullamore I reckoned it
1> needed to be claimed as an unloved cache last found 31-JUL-11
2> was called DPT/DTaP GC2Z9QD all about Tetanus and the cache is surrounded by so many rusty Tin boxes and old glass bottles; you wanna go there as it must be Historical from old days when they logged the forest.
3>and I rekon the cache description MUST be the reason nobody has looked for it!!!!!

I found this unloved cache last year but just became aware of this opportunity to log this GCA cache.
GC1JP3P Stag (Beetle) Party
I found it on 29/3/2011
The previous find was on 19/9/2009
It is fairly remote and a bit of a bush walk through some leech ridden bush, which tends to be pretty damp, but also a nearby bridge was out of action for quite a while which added to the remoteness.
The location is S42° 42.719 E147° 51.283
What an exciting afternoon this cache provided.
Today we started out from Swansea, after a walk along the foreshore resulting in a cache find.
Then we left Swansea and headed for Orford. Things on our agenda included the Three Thumbs Lookout and the forest walk where this cache was hidden, both of which were recommended by the manager of Swansea Cottages.
We had a call from a some friends who had left sahead of us saying the mist meant that the Three Thumbs Lookout view was not too good, so we decided to have an early lunch at The Getaway in Orford.
After that we headed down the dirt road towards the forest walk, and went up to the lookout anyway, which wasn't too bad as the mist had lifted somewhat.
There was a sign saying that the road was closed because a bridge was out, but we took a punt and continued along towards Copping in case the walk entrance was before the closure.
We found the start of the track near the grave, but it was too wet. We continued towards the other end along the road, and found a sign saying the track entrance was 1.5 km ahead, just as we hit the road closure boom.
We decided to park and walk down the closed road. We came to the bridge work and walked across the half finished bridge which was pretty much finished except for the road surface. The workmen said hello as we walked across, and then we started down the track.
The track was very overgrown and at times it was a pretty hard slog through the overgrowth. We had to cross the creek on stepping stones and frequently climb over fallen trees. Eventually we reached the cache location, and after a brief search I found it where my GPS read 5m. There were none of the bracket fungi there at the hidey hole so maybe their lifespan is limited.
The last log was nearly 18 mths ago so I was very pleased that we found it.
The cache was perfectly dry and in excellent condition after such a long wait.
Then we tramped back out, removing a few leeches along the way. Pam is a very brave and supportive wife and made me very proud with the casual way she handled these leech episodes.
When we emerged and approached the bridge, the workmen were packing up and offered to give us a lift back to our car. While they were packing up they suggested we walk the boardwalk on the other side of the road, which we did, and what a fabulous experience that was. Lots of water running down the rocks making it a real rain forest experience.
Then they drove us back to our car and even opened the boom gate for us, so we could drive through and over the bridge, and continue through the closed section, saving us about an hour off our trip to Port Arthur by avoiding a return journey to Orford. We thanked them profusely and Pam gave them some brownies as a reward.

The whole episode was very rewarding, and this cache will remain one of my favourites and one of the highlights of our visit to Tassie from Melbourne.
Thanks for this memorable cache, and the great experience Team Bubble Tea.

I thought I had found this before, but it turned out it had been the GC cache it used to be that I found. Anyway we stopped and found it, & then I located my log from the GC find, s the logbook covers both existences. A confusing deal.
To me, obviously the reason it is unfound so long is the distance from the main caching zones, combined wth it being GA.

I have one (East Hills?) that seems too challenging for most, and has acrued many many months unfound.

I noticed this locationless cache when a photo came up on the GCA home page. I recalled finding a cache recently that was unloved, so thought I'd claim a find.

I was going to claim it for GC19QQ1 Memoirs of a Cacher, but when I checked the logs I discovered Id found it 11 months after the previous finder! Doh!

But then I remembered GC22685 Forster Frolic, which I found on 9 April 2012 and was previously found on 12 December 2010 by Darwinian. Forster Frolic is a puzzle cache, which isnt unusual in Canberra, but probably contributes a bit to it being unloved. However, it would mainly be unloved due to the fact that its a bit out of town and requires a bit of a hike and a hill climb, although neither are particularly strenuous.

I had a lovely walk to find the cache, it was a beautiful clear, still autumn morning and the views in all directions are just fantastic.

Thanks very much Cached for the cache

Cache was in plain site - I reckon somnething has gone screwy with the co-ords, because the CO took me straight to the cache.

Probably because it is on the outskirts of the Newcastle area and is in a high traffic area, requiring patience and stealth.

Strangly enough, i also found the same cache as Walw today, GA1887! Over 12 months without a find, then two visitors in the same day!

Considering he logged it, (and found it first..) i guess i'll have to make this into a DNF.

Found GA1887 today, Magnetic Hill in Penrose State Forest. I'm a bit surprised about the lack of finds on this one...Less than 2 minutes off the Hume Highway, and a short 10 minute walk to find it!

Just discovered these locationless caches and realised we could claim this one.

We found the puzzle cache Minty Well (GC1WCKC) two months ago after not being found for just over 15 months. The nature of this puzzle is very "wordy" and I had previously passed over this thinking "Too hard!" We were going to the area for an Australia Day BBQ, so I decided to have a closer look at it. A quick google had the puzzle solved in no time. The difficulty is deceptive. This is quite clever and I enjoyed it. Unfortunately we didn't take a photo but there is a nice piece of history at GZ.

Actual find - 26 Jan 2012

Hi Cached
Yesterday, I found the cache GC15W3G "It Takes Two" after finally being able to put the co-ords from the two needed TBs together, When I got to GZ, the cache was covered in cob-webbs as 2y'stassies were the last to log it on the 8th December 2010. Nine more months and I could have got 2 years unloved. Nevertheless, can claim this cache with yesterdays (3 March 2012) find.
As it is a puzzle cache, the original co-ords have been designated, not the found co-ords for obvious reasons.
The cache has not been found for such a long time because one of the required travel bugs had been taken back to NSW with a cacher when they found the TB not realising it had to remain in Tasmania and I think the other has been dropped into the blowhole at Blackmans Bay.
Pjamesk is now doing his best to replace both TBs so that the life of this unloved cache can be extended.
TFTC and cheers;
OldSaint.

Found GCQRCJ PaddyK Cache 008 : The Captain's Reserve today. LAst found on the 31st October 2010. I think people may have been searching for it in the mean time as there was a fair amount of cacher type disturbance near to GZ but obviously no one has come up with the goods. This cache consisted of a series of waypoints all of which where in good condition.

Found the Wongi Waterholes cache today, GCXV8N north of Maryborough QLD. This is less than 10 minutes from the highway, an easy find in a fantastic location yet not found since 17th October 2010. I'm not really sure why this would be the case, maybe the dirt road in puts people off? Still, an excellent location, definitely one of those hidden gems found through the help of caching!

I also found the Little Ragged Blossom's cache in Enfield on 8 Dec 2011 - GA1850. This cache was also hidden by the McAdies and was last found by roundcircle on 29 May 10.

Another cache hidden as part of the 10th Anniversary of Geocaching in Australia.

Not far from the Snugglepot cache. A little further down the Ballarat to Colac Rd and this one was off a track after doing a right hand turn off the main road.

Even easier to get to than the Snugglepot cache.

Cache was a plastic container painted black.

Reason why it hasn't been found for 79 weeks are the same as my previous log for the Snugglepot cache.

thanks for the chance to log these unloved caches.
They are both well worth a visit.

I found Snugglepot's cache on 8 Dec 2011 - GA 1849 after it was 79 weeks unfound.

The cache was hidden as part of the 10th anniversary of Geocaching in Australia celebrations by the McAdies. The cache is located in the Enfield State Forest but not far off the Ballarat to Colac Rd.

It was last found on 29 May 2010 by roundcircle. The cache is a nice ammo can with a nice booty of goodies. It was hidden is an accessible spot. Not too hard to find.

To reach gz you need to take a dirt track of the main road then travel a couple of hundred metres before doing a turn then travelling down another dirt road.

I think there are a few reasons it hasn't been found for so long. The area of Enfield whilst really good isn't that well known. The Ballarat to Colac Road doesn't really take travellers but mainly locals and the main reason I think is that with the wet weather we had since last Summer the tracks in would have not been that easy to access and would stopped people from trying to reach gz.

The cache is well worth a visit though as are all caches by the McAdies.

Today we found "New Beginnings" (GC2EKKP) by Tk2.

We found this cache on 2nd October 2011.
The previous find logged on this cache was 6th September 2010.

We assume it has gone so long as it's a micro cache hidden out in a rural area, and is along a track that is "dry weather only."

Coordinates are: S33° 29.423' E138° 22.504'

We attempted this cache earlier in the year, but took the wrong route to it, and not having any alternative maps with us, decided to abandon the hunt. It's a really a great spot, and deserves a lot more finds than just one per year.

Thanks Cached, neat idea.

Last found 8/1/2010. (20 months unloved)

Three absolutely brilliant caches found on the one adventure "Up the Creek".

Our group consisted of Fangsoki, Team Herbz, stairman1,dosshell, captain terror and myself. It was an epic adventure involving lots of rock hopping a bit of clambering and some hacking at lantana with a machete.

Stairman1 collected all of ticks on our behalf, I took a leech for a bit of a ride and captain terror blazed a trail home with the machete that Mr Herbz had brought along.

Some great caches that really need some more loving for geocachers visiting the Gold Coast hinterland.

Discovered this interesting and, for a time, somewhat mystifying multi together with rogerw3 and Cousin Drew from the USA.

Why was it not found for a period of more than 19 months? I guess it's because it's in a relatively remote area and is a multi. Maybe WP2 stopped a number of searchers too.

Found this one on 14/8/2011 being a mystery cache in the centre of Adelaide requires info from 4 multi's which may be why this one has not been found in a while, Cache name GC1KKCV Deltora Monster, previously found on 7/7/2010, can not leave coords as this would give away the solution, not often one in the centre of Adelaide goes unloved this long

WanderingAus wandered by on day 24 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, after dropping the WanderingMrs (aka SWMBO) at Coconut Grove Senior Cits for another couple of hours of line dancing, and spent a good 20 minutes attempting a GAFF 0 find of GA2044 A Rainforest Loop by Denisjoh & Robjoh without success. All I knew was the name, the size, and the difficulty and terrain. I checked every log, tree and rock for about 20 metres from my fairly consistent GZ and couldn't come up with the goods, but I was prevented from searching one likely area by a large tree which had been felled by Cyclone Carlos, which battered Darwin and Top End on 15 February 2011. Even ignoring the "wheelchair accessable" terrain 1 and extending to 10 metres from the path didn't reveal anything.

I wandered back on day 54 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, after dropping the WanderingMrs (aka SWMBO) at the stop for the free Casino Bus I had almost 6 hours of caching time available. I decided to have another crack at GA2044 A Rainforest Loop, and when I got near GZ I saw that the large tree which had been felled by Cyclone Carlos had been removed, exposing the area I'd been unable to access on my last visit.


This pair of trees were felled by Cyclone Carlos, which battered Darwin and the Top End on 15 February 2011. One has been trimmed down, the other is still complete, but on it's side exposing it's roots.

I knew I was looking for a REGULAR sized cache, so there weren't a lot of places it could possibly be hidden, could it? After almost giving up I checked one last very small crevice, and found another of those smallest Sistema containers for a fairly slow find, and due to advice from the owner it was a GAFF 4 find, although if not for the fallen tree I'd have probably found it as a GAFF 0.

The cache had last been found on 11 June 2010 by Rock-hopper. The long gap between finds was probably mainly because it was a Geocaching Australia cache, which thins the field of hunters dramatically. The intervening wet season, and the cyclone and it's felling of that big tree, wouldn't have helped. This was a Difficulty 3 Terrain 2.5 traditional in rainforest, with very heavy overhead cover, which may have deterred other hunters too. It was Hidden on 10 May 2010 and found on 7 June 2010, and then on 11 June 2010. I claimed the Third To Find.

WanderingAus wandered by on day 52 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, after dropping the WanderingMrs (aka SWMBO) at Coconut Grove Senior Cits for another couple of hours of line dancing. I'd already done all the hard work to find the multi-cache GC2ADGV Those Magnificent Men (& Women) in the Top End by thelandlockedsailor on two previous visits, all I had to do now was find the prize. I was fortunate to find it in the third place I checked.

The cache had last been found on 14/07/2010 by wewak. A muggle presence in the vicinity of GZ had me abandon the hunt, and I had intended to go back within a day or two, but I noticed in GSAK that the "Last Found" was 14 Jul 2010.

I decided to run the risk of missing out on the 6 Months Unfound for the chance of claiming this one in less than 4 weeks, and it paid off.

I can't understand the long gap between finds, this was a Difficulty 1.5 Terrain 1.5 multi-cache in the suburbs. It was Hidden on 04/07/2010 and found on 06/07/2010, then twice on 14/07/2010. I claimed the Fourth To Find.

The CO thelandlockedsailor invited/suggested "Now - have a go at "Those Magnificent Men (& Women) in the Top End". It's a multi, but with lots of interesting history and a little bit of a twist!" after I got the First To Find on his latest very tricky traditional GC2XJV7 Another Adelaide?. I'd actually already taken a look at Waypoint 1 the same day, but my Magellan Explorist 610 had renderered the cache description in a very unfriendly way, so I needed to resort to the iPaq PDA to be able to read the required calculations.

The CO also told me "I issued the same challenge to CHEDENT a day or so earlier than to you". CHEDENT is a veritable FTF Hound, who actually claimed the "First To Log" on GC2XJV7 Another Adelaide?, so I was taking quite a risk delaying my completion of GC2ADGV Those Magnificent Men (& Women) in the Top End by thelandlockedsailor, but I like to live dangerously.

Note that the coords are for the published position, waypoint 1.

The 20 month gap between finders is no doubt due to the challenging position of the cache. Although you can drive a 4WD or AWD vehicle fairly close to it, the descent to GZ is not easy to find.
