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.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

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 page and post a 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.

I checked this one months ago but forgot to log the cache missing. I checked it again today and it's still missing.. The cache owner no longer caches so he will never replace this cache. It also seems the recent claimers have faked their finds for their own numbers..

Found by Mary & David at 1608. Left Port Lincoln this morning, at the start of our long journey home. Cached our way north to Whyalla for the night. Saw the movie with the grandchildren.

Catching up on some very late logs.
We headed out to Port Bonython for a day of sightseeing and of course caching, that finished finished the 31 days of August and as there was still some light left we were just random caching.
We always get lost in this place and the sun was getting very low before we found GZ.
Unfortunately this cache is in need of some TLC and we thought we had one more eclipse tin and log in our supplies but it looks like we ran out replacing others over the week.
We added our name to the log and replaced it as good as possible to try and keep it dry.
Many thanks to pomresmini for placing this cache.

My feet were happy !!
Dancing on the pedals Big Grin
And on me bike ride through the "free", waste recycling centre, that surrounds Whyalla, I ended up here looking for another cache Razz

Geez it can be tough to spot the caches amongst the rubbish, but after a good poke around I spied this cache in its hiding place [^]
Looks like any bit or rubbish out here though, and definitely needs some maintenance Sad

TFTC.

Today, we tackled some dirt tracks, which wasn't the best of ideas, due to the recent rain.
A couple of spots were extremely soft & muddy, but the geo-cruiser never let us down.
We left some caches due to their placement, and hope to pick them up on another visit.
The geo-cruiser got filthy dirty and so did our shoes, but a great fun day was had.
Cache was an easy find, and in good condition.
Thanks for the hunt today, team resmini.

A Great weekend away doing the Googs Track with good friends. Lots of different scenery and a lot of fun
We had a great time seeing some good ranges of different styles of caches now it was time to grab a few caches around the Whyalla area.

Thanks for putting these caches out for us to find team resmini
 
10-Oct-13
Found a place to park, but could have parked closer if we'd persisted [:o)].
Searched around the tree everyone else had looked before us, before having a chat with a local muggle walker, Mrs DISK finding the cache in the meantime after extending the search area Big Grin.
Cache is very wet Sad and we only just managed to make our mark on the soggy log Smile.
TNLNSL.
Thanks Pomresmini.

After completing our trek along the Googs Track and back through the Gawler Ranges, it was time to rack up some numbers in the Whyalla area - gee there are a lot of caches around here. Smile

Today our focus was on the FITG series then down south to Cowell and return to Whyalla. Started out early but didnt get back until 10pm. TFTC. Big Grin

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.

Today we were doing the FTF trail between Whyalla and Iron Knob. There was time for some other caching at both ends. Some of these aches were fiendish today and we had an annoying number of DNFS. Everyone has done a great job of placing a great variety of caches and we had a great day.

Thanks.

Grabbed with Albida on our 2 week caching run from Canberra to, and around, different parts of South Australia including Loxton, Murray Bridge, Tailem Bend, Yorke Peninsula and around to Whyalla before heading home via Broken Hill, Cobar and Parkes. We completed a few power trails and left a couple to do when in the area again for next years Mega event.

Overall a great many different styles and types of caches found. A great time was had caching for 16 days straight as well as camping along the way.

Thanks for adding to the fun with this cache.

Just muddy feet and one more smiley for me today.
 
26-Apr-12
defineatly NO PENGUINS out this way, although the cold wind and wet rain, and mud lead me to believe I just might see one or two. I not got happy feet after all the walking I have done this morning, but my oversized but is happy I walked off a few kilos TFTC

The frog wanted to see a penguin. I said get over it. He croaked.

26-Feb-12
Happy feet? not for this Duck, red mud up to my ears, prickles under my wings for what. A neglected cache with a broken lid and a waterlogged log book. How about doing a bit of maintenance team resmini1 or is it every man for themselves in the team. Took nothing but did leave a lovely magnetic butterfly for the next finder.
 
19-Feb-12

Loved it.
Now this is my sort of cache.
Loved the drive in. My favourite sort of caching.
Wow if I lived here I would cover this spot with caches. Imagine a 160 metre grid with a cache in each quadrant. Now that would be a fun drive. Probable even give it a movie theme like "Dirty Mary, Crazy Harry"

19-May-11
Found at 3.10pm GAFF1. Finally a cache that we could find! After a mini run of DNF's we were wondering if our caching skills had departed.
Once again - bush caching which we love.
Thanks pomresmini.

I'm glad the GPSr has a "bread-crumbs trail" facility or I think we'd have had to call out the tracker dogs so we could get back to civilisation!

Dipped in the travellers and took them out again.

I went around and around a big tree several times before I realised where it was, Geobuddy kept laughing and yelling out "Cold", 'Warm". The cache is in good condition but the lid is broke.
 
08-Oct-10
Found on a caching day for the littlest Newbs birthday. Geo-dude had a muggle friend too. Quick bash in the bush and sent the kids off to get this one themselves. They came up with the goods!. PIcked up the polar bear TB too.

Cheers!!
