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.

7.15. Archive or unarchive a geocache
Archiving a geocache is meant to be a permanent action. Only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ can unarchive caches. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if the cache meets the current geocaching guidelines.

If a cache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance, it will not be unarchived.

Found it after the Mawson Lakes CITO, myself and allister w hopped through this series. As others have said the anvil monument is no longer around to gather the required coordinates. Also GZ has construction happening and it could be gone soon. Cache is nicely wedged in but allister managed to get it out and was stamped as The Brown Family aka “the coloured mint tin by the sea people”

Found this cache and the others in the series with doineedthis after attending the CITO in Mawson Lakes. TFTC

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am 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 28 days) 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 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

We probably have the waypoint wrong but we will keep an eye on a maintenance update

Looks like the area where the anvil & monument once was, is now a Childrens playground…….unless I am blind or seeing things

Hi there
Logged a DNF on this today as it appears that where the anvil & monument once were, is now a childrens play area, and is also fenced off (so no access for me on a Sunday.
Happy to be proven wrong, but can I suggest that the CO please check this out.
Many thanks

Found the final but a little tricky to retrieve. But plenty of sticks around. TFTC

Hello March Hare. With the threat of this one going forever, I paffed the stone to get letters to numbers. Will you look at that, right where I have been on a previous occasion.

I was out this morning with an eager northern cacher, gathering gems in cascades and on the homeward journey (for her) we stopped by here so I could get some colour on this missing number in my MC 366 grid. Mission accomplished, while the stone looks to be awol for good (remains to be seen until construction is finished) the cache is present and in acceptable condition.

Thanks for the mc march hare, found and signed, returned as found. Hippity Hop, thats at least two of these I have found, I will need to check my records to see if there are others.

Solved this one 6 months ago with Marlee126 and Peas&CarrotsForever and tonight on our way to a once in a life time, time event 22/02/2022 @ 22:22:22, I got to grab this.

Keep smiling

No sign of a plaque at the listed coords, but Mox was happy for a quick stroll nonetheless

I just knew I took too long to get to this one. Currently a building site, not sure where plaque would be now

Día de caching con un clima muy caluroso, después de comerme un pastel fuimos a buscarlo con Gwen. lo encontramos con la compañía de Earthlight & The X-trailers

TFTFun

Quick easy find
Log sheet wet
Tftc

Found but as previously stated, log is very wet. Tftc

Interesting find, may need a stick or claw to get to it.

Nice easy one in the obvious place. Log a bit soggy. TFTC

Water is getting in container and log book is wet

Nice quick find after a little Hop!

Thanks for the cache

TFTC. looked a bit doubtful for a while, but all good.

Very cool, will solve the next leg tomorrow!

TFTC! very cool group of linked caches

This one has been one of the closest to home for some time. Today was the day to change it to a smiley. Interesting location indeed. We had not known this was here.
TFTF yet again The March Hare

Lib & I scraped the collected mulch around gz,
but we came up with no cache.
The cache might need checking

No luck tonight

Found as we headed home from a day caching around the city. Cache all ok. TFTC

Wow has this been a while, I got the co ords for this back in February and have been meaning to find this but hadn’t got around to it, pulled up today to get the co ords for the next one and also find this! TFTC

All seems to be good here still.
Cheers

Thanks for the cache!

last time i was here the cache was missing, i thought i had some how messed up the co ords. At a recent event i got told this one had been replaced, quick find on the replacement cache.

You can drive past something everyday but it’s not until you stop to find a cache that you really see what’s there. Back tonight after a previous DNF and located this time. TFTC

Not sure where I went wrong. My coords had me 20m north of the final.

But there could only be 1 GZ.

TFTC

In my quest to get to 175 multis by the end of the year I added this one to the list for today as well as its pal Hop Hop which I hope will reveal itself with another look at the plaque as well this morning. Nice quick find of this one. TFTC and here is hoping that Hop Hop will complete my innings.

I have no idea where I may have gone wrong. I thought I had calculated, checked and then checked again. No luck today. It’s always hurts that little bit more when you read something like ‘spotted from the car....’. Oh well.

I calculated the coordinates for this cache last year and went to find the cache without joy.

With my new job, I have been driving past this cache every Tuesday for the past couple of months. Today was the day I stopped to give it another shot.

Yep, there it was! The cache is dry and in good condition.

Thanks for the cache.

Having done all the solve work some time ago, I was able to go grab the final of this one tonight seeing it is back again After work on Thursday, 24 Aug, 2017 at 16:33. All is good and dry with the cache and contents [^] TFTC C4

Hoot, Mogni made a surprise visit west for International Geocaching Day. I thought she was going east to the You Yangs event! Can only mean one thing. Meet up with the usual list of suspects and make a day of fun, laughter and geocaching before heading off to a special event that night. The usual list of suspects for today started with myself, mogni, AnyMules and Alternika and we rendezvoused at TTP for coffee to start the adventure. After driving around here for the better part of the day we then started to head towards the Bay via a rather circuitous route for an evening event, a few caches just happened to get in the way. [:o)]
9 months ago I had a disappointing DNF at the finish of this cache. Passing by I looked and thought I saw a familiar sight there. [^] A quick turn into the next side street and we found ourselves walking back. AnyMules who was in his own car behind me was also thinking of the DNF as we passed and advised he had also seen a familiar sight at GZ. But is not until we were about 5 metres from GZ that it clicked as to why. - He had replaced it.
A quick find this time and another DNF off my list - which unfortunately still numbers in the nineties.
Thanks March Hare for the cache. I believe that now completes the series!

Well, that was quick: Mogni spotted the newly replaced cache from the road and Brisal did a quick left turn, lol. TFTC

On the way past this one again tonight with Moneydork. He had a suitable replacement in his geomobile so stopped to replace it.

Thanks for the cache calumphing_four. Found on 9 May 2017 at 12:22 am. Find #4675.

Cache replaced

Previous finders confirmed today that Brisal5 and I were looking for the right type of container in the right location last time. Still couldn't see it today. Perhaps this one needs a check by the CO.

Day 2 of mogni in town for one of her many work roles. Staying at Mawson Lakes right close to Bob Land. [^] At long last I would be able to get to some of the BFE puzzles that had regularly been appearing and being solved at Puzzled Puzzler Meetings. And of course any others that happened to appear on the GPS. [8d] I had already spent most of the day with Mrs. Aussie M&M whilst her car looked at. Now having picked up mogni a call from Anymules resulted in him joining us as well.
I think one of the big cats behind the fence has jumped on the fence and it is a bit damaged. We couldn't find the cache. Perhaps the cat got it! Thanks for the search anyway calumphing four.

Took a Hop. Didn't find.

Easy find on the hop . Log book damp but wrapped it in a bag so it has achance to dry. TFTC. Cheers

Found with 2011*turtle. Enjoyed the history at this cache. The log was wet. TFTC

Found on a wet miserable day with vj187. A quick find. TFTC

TFTC Calumphing Four. A pleasant walk on a humid evening with a stop midway between the clue and GZ for a quick beer. Cheers.

Hopped in and hopped down. Bit of water damage on the logs.

1st time geocaching and wonder why I've taken so long to start. Thanks for the HOP and will be hop, hop, hop, hop, hoping next.

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi. Been working on solving multis lately and saw this one so on the way home the other night stopped and gathered the info. Went home and did the calculation and checked GZ. Called in this morning on the way to work and hopped to GZ and made a quick find. Sign log and replaced. Had to improvise with all the traffic going past. Amazing how taking a photo can allow a find. Gratias pro cache.

[Red]I apologise for the late log... Problems with GSAK and crashed computer...[/Red]

Found after coffee nearby. I get the picture of this series now. "Start at the very beginning , it's a very good place to start". There is a song that says that isn't there? Thanks for the series

Found it after collect the clues
Nice hide
Thanks calumphing four

Having finished with the nearby dentist, off we go again.
Have often past this site but never stopped. Worked the coordiinates which gave us a pooint 1.5k further up Main Nth Rd. Decided we would look on the way home, but neve got there
Will try again another day
TFT hunt

Got the cords a long time ago, and came to pick it up today. Next will be Hop hop. TFTC!

Worked out and found by The Boofs TFTC ☺

Have been hopping up and down here for years so about time I logged this one.
Thanks c4

Found it, needs some new paper!

Finaly finished this little trio. Actually did this backwards. Tftc

Luckily there were few pedestrian muggles around as getting the cache was not overly easy, luckily we had thin arms. TFTC

Found this one in reverse, but that's ok, just a bit of backtracking.
Now for the next big hop, next time in SA.
TFTC

Found this on the fourth attempt. First time, it was too dark, I didn't have a torch And was unsure if I had the right location. Second time, we were muggled out. Third time, we didn't have an extraction tool. Luckily, we are not easy deterred and can cross this one off the list. TFTC.

Out for the evening with Ismartis who had recently found this one. We were on our way "elsewhere" and we decided to hop out here and gather the info on the way through, then took a few more hops for me to find the cache. Had to go back to the car for one of my geotools needed to extract the cache. Signed the paper that had been put in the cache recently which was also damp, but didn't have a spare log or bag to replace. Sorry.
Back to the car to continue hopping along.
Thanks for the cache calumphing_four.

After having logged this cache recently with Dr Owl, I vowed to return and do it properly and tonight that vow was fulfilled and I can cross this one off.

TFTC The March Hare!

Out with CP Wanderer, Ismartis and Izwalk on Owl's first caching expedition after surgery. Owl had worked out the start of the multi months ago, but missed a find last time she was in the area. Today it was much more obvious, though the log was completely soggy. Nothing to replace it on hand but put in a scrap of paper. Owl enjoyed the history lesson and is now working on the next in the series.

A quick find and a not so quick extraction with Dr Owl, CPwanderer and Izwalk on Dr Owls first caching expedition after recent surgery.

Dr Owl had done the hard yards on this one and I just happened to be in the right place at the right time to help with the tricky extraction but in the end Izwalk pulled the rabbit out of the hat here.

I will be back to visit the beginning and make my own calculations!

TFTC calumphing four!

Went back to check a spot I had already tried...
Under heaps of leaves & rubbish the cache was uncovered, FINALLY!
Coordinates for this are WAY out.

Didn't even attempt to sign the soggy scrap of paper

""Sneaky Squeaky™" Woz ere" A quick but enjoyable find. From Me To You From SQ72 T.F.T.C

Out caching tonight with 3LG & SneakySqueaky.

Had a go at this series a while ago, but messed it up royally. Great to get it off the list. TFTC

Visited this monument the other day .... and enjoyed the history here ... took a few photos ... did some scribbles on a piece of paper ... and took these home to do the calculations.

Calculations done ... quick email to 3LG to ask a question ... got the answers I wanted ... and so going to GZ for this one became the Hop for today's cache.

Found it as lots and lots and lots of cars whizzed past.

Now to do some more research for Hop, Hop and Hop, Hop, Hop ....

Seek3r-ed and found!

TFTC Calumphing four.

Grabbed a copy of clue, went to Primo for dinner and worked the co-ords out over a hot meal. Then proceeded to hop along Main Nth Rd. Quick find on a chilly night, TFTC.

Thanks for the multi - solved it many weeks ago, and only managed to get the cache in my hand today.
It is located on a very busy road at any time of the day and night

Started this one a couple of weeks ago. Interesting location that Geomum drives past most days but has never paid much attention to the monument or the building. Easter seemed a good time to finish this cache, so a quick stop just around the corner from GZ, found cache and signed log. Lukey5 loves driving past this place, thankfully he was at school today or we could have been there 'window shopping' all afternoon. TFTC Easter bunny

Came past here well over a year ago with geogirl and worked out the coordinates together. Then it was put in the 'to do' pile. Today, being Easter Sunday, geomum and geoson went in search of the cache, and found it! A busy road but geoson made the find without being noticed.
SL @ 15.30, TNLN, T4TC

Eight months after my first attempt, went past again today and had another go with the newly replaced cache. Now that's more like a 1/1 cache. A quick find amongst 1,000,000 cars going past.

An interesting starting location which I've been past so many times, but never really stopped to read the info.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache The March Hare.

Thanks to McKee Clan for providing somthing to sign. Quick find but I am not sure how it will last if a clean up happens.

3ed time looking for this one. Glad to have found it.

TFTC.

Replaced cache for you as I haddone this one before. You are looking for uncamo eclipse. The photo for thescout challange will let you know if you are at the right spot. But all back online now

Thanks McKee Clan.
Cheers

found as part of the scouts geocaching competition, hope we didn't give away too much in the photo. tftc sl

found with spyjordy as part of the scouts geocaching competition. tftc sl

Spy Gecko is our team made up of spyjordy and Purple Gecko for the scouts geocaching competition. Thank you for placing caches that assist us during this competition. TFTC SL

Nearly 10 months since a find, can you check on this one please?

Had this one worked out awhile ago, Took Holograms to this one. We searched for about ten minutes, then left.

I have come up with a couple answers to this multi. The first spot clearly was not right. The 2ed one seamed possible but I could not come up with a cache. I was not convinced I was looking in the right spot and I had not had a chance to go back to the start and check my working, I met C4 in the wild and confirmed I was in the right area so I went back to day and still did not find a cache. I put this on my watch list and see what happens.

Mr Tardis did the calculations while on lunchbreak today. Arived at the final location (I'm quite sure I'm in the right place, it was a logical hoppy place) but sadly no cache to be found here. For a 1/1 star I thought it would be pretty easy to find.

It wasn't been found for 3 months, maybe it's gone again?

An interesting location at the published co-ordinates.

I really should have done this series in order! TFTC

Found It!
I have never noticed this little plaque even though I've driving past it hundreds of times...
TFTC

Sorry about the late log. I was hoping to find them all but Hop x 3 is proving tricky.

TFTC and interesting history

End of a rather fragmented (but good in the end) day of caching, I picked up Hop, not realising where it was taking me. So a wander along the road after finding a park (off the main thoroughfare) put me right in the middle of nowhere, or so it seemed. Mid afternoon with nowhere to plausibly be... I pretended I was waiting for a lift while the traffic cleared.
Will hop along to the next cache when I next get a chance.

Nice little multi with Mogni and AussieM&M!! Interesting spot!!! TFTC

It will be the last time, they let me navigate... I saw this one come up and we had to go and grab it. Other than having to back track and dive in circles for awhile, a great decision by me.
Thanks

A nice and interesting spot at the initial coordinates. A little disappointed with the end point but certainly one of the more interesting caches for the day. TFTC.

Second time round we got this one Tftc

Thought I would do a quick, short multi after seeing my Dr nearby and being given lots of drugs, which almost made me as funny as the March Hare!
I decided that today I would locus cache Hop.
LOL, little did I know that Hop leads to Hop, Hop and Hop, Hop leads to Hop, Hop, Hop
So quite some time later and feeling rather much sicker than when I began, I finished the series.
Now home to rest.
SL x 3 and TNLN x 3. TFTCs and the interesting spots and information

TFTC

After a false dawn and a quick search of the area, able to locate one of our nemesis caches

finally taken care of my closest to (new) home!

Called past today to check on GZ.
The original GZ has been well and truely cleaned up, but thankfully the new spot should have no issues.
Thanks to, to Honeysucker for the new container.
Enjoy Hopping.
Cheers

Found after visiting my dear mum in the nursing home close by.
Thanks for the cache.

We thought that since this cache was the closest to our new house, we should find it. Didnt realise ot was a series!
