Forgotten Traditional Cache

This cache is temporarily unavailable.

Ngaambul: Hi yttam,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, or it may not but in the absence of the cache owner performing maintenance and/or disabling the cache to check it out, I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 4 weeks) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 4 weeks to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Ngaambul - Matt

Geocache Description:


I'll say it now: Not the best idea to do this cache at night. There's houses around, some broken glass and the terrain doesn't seem overly safe at all in the dark.

Today I was browsing the Geocache Map, a ready, snaplock container in hand, looking for a suitable spot close to home. Behind Brookdale Terrace, an unoccupied patch of bush sat, seemingly available, and that afternoon I headed down looking for a decent hiding place. In the 80's a flood swept through this gully, and caused a three-car pileup on the Great Western Highway. The area has been notorious for floods, but maintenance has ensured issues no longer occur. This area is somewhat forgotten and this is where the name comes from.
There's a split between two houses along the street, with a wide path opening allowing for access to GZ. Don't be discouraged by the fact that an opening isn't shown on Google Maps - switch it to satellite and you'll see it. Once down, a mild bush-bash downhill will bring you to a gully-like formation, with a large metal pipe extending from one side to the other (I'll let the hint say the rest). The cache is hidden very well and it'd be appreciated upon finding it to rehide it just as well. I'd advise against trying this when wet, unless you're extremely confident (or willing to squelch around for a bit).
