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.

Looks like the band isn't having a reunion. Maybe its luck has run out. See previous maintenance log.
 
17-Oct-15
The cache is clearly no longer here with a new plastic replacement seat in place.
 
13-Sep-15
No luck for me too Sad
 
18-Aug-15
After reading previous didn't find logs, just thought I would give it a go. No luck.
 
10-Aug-15
Nope...
 
09-Aug-15
Will this ever be replaced again maybe should be disabled until it is. Bit sad when we keep going to sites to find Caches missing.

This cache does not seem to be here. New bench. Is it going to be replaced?
 
24-Jul-15
New park bench so I think it's gone

 
24-Jul-15
Looks like new park bench location
 
20-Jul-15
Oh oops, nothing here for the cache, it must feel very unloved, could someone please do something to help it feel better about itself??
 
20-Jul-15
Got out of the car before reading previous logs...seems this is a very unlucky cache. [?]
Thanks anyway BrettnJames. Smile
 
16-Jul-15
Went to find the cache today and found a concrete slab where the bench had been. (N.B. Went past again the next day and found a new bench, but still no cache.) Freaky!
 
05-Jul-15
Ohhhhhh this has got to be the unluckiest cache Twisted
DNFed this a while ago when it appeared its tree had been cut down.
Now it seems the cache has been the target of a hit and run Sad
Skid marks on the gutter, dug up grass, and a new base being concreted for a new seat where the cache may have been.
One day, maybe, the band will find a safe spot!
 
05-Jul-15
Sadly it seems someone didn't like this cache and ran it down Surprised
Please check again!
 
20-Jun-15
Searched and it looks like the seat has been hit by a car..
 
06-Jun-15

Day 6 into my epic road journey with the bogonghazy's had us heading north to Wallaroo and picking up a swag of caches along the way.

The tree has definitely gone. Thanks anyway BrettnJames
 
03-Apr-15

Snaphappy and I arrived here to a sawn off tree, leaving us to think the cache camo maybe gone.??? Thanks for the hunt though BrettnJames
 
05-Mar-15

Thanks for bringing me here anyway BrettnJames

Day four with Alansee and Micaparamedic we were now based in Wallaroo for another three days of caching fun

Getting the band back together is the cache name, we didn't automatically think of Xmas Carols but it would be quite a nice venue here and we are sure that everyone must have a fantastic time. Normally we don't enjoy Xmas Carols as for us they mean work and us cleaning up after everyone has long gone home from them. You can only hear Jingle Bells so many times. Today there may not have been carols but we did enjoy the area and a nice quick find and sign.

To save room in the logs we signed as M.A.C.( Micaparamedic Alansee and Team Crackers).
Thanks for the cache
 
17-Aug-14
On a caching assault of the Yorke Peninsular with alansee and Team Crackers over the last six days. We have found many caches which have proven enjoyable and sometimes challenging Alansee had worked diligently in planning routes we would take to minimize wasted kilometres driven to find the numbers we have been able to do. Most logs have been signed as MAC (micaparamedic, alansee and crackers)

Many thanks BrettnJames for placing this cache Cool.
 
17-Aug-14
Found with Team Crackers and Micaparamedic. A quick find thanks. A nice rotunda nearby too.

Found early in the morning while in town waiting for the ferry, on the way to JLWE 2014. A quick but stealthy find in the end with the park being empty on a work day. I can see how this one could get exposed very easily of finders are not subtle, with so many windows nearby for curious muggles to see our activities. TFTC BrettnJames!

Left the caravan parked at Bute, and went caching around Kadina & Wallaroo.
With a good variety of hides, we were kept busy all day.
Most were found quickly, with the odd one being a little tricky.
Thanks for the cache, BrettnJames.

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 traveling on the Yorke Peninsula, the original destination for this trip. We spent the whole day and went from Kadina to Pt Victoria. We went via as many of the towns as possible along the way. 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.

Our 2nd big day of caching on the York Peninsular.
We covered the area from Kadina, Moont & Wallaroo. This covered areas from the beautiful coast to the historic & mining area. Some very friendly small towns we passed through.
This was one of the caches we found during the day. A good hint helped make an easy find
Thanks BrettnJames

We found this cache as part of our family YP camping trip. Over the 12 days we saw some fantastic scenes and did a heap of cool stuff. This really is a beautiful slice of our country. To top off an already wonderful trip, we also found 145 caches, 6 trackables, 1 pathtag and attended 1 event.

Thanks for the cache!!

Mr. Flipper & Mr. Frog decided to go out on a serious number run while the Mrs's were off playing in Nelson.
Loads of finds for the fellas, the girls got side tracked and did not hunt out as many as planned... oh well... this is a generic c&p log, do forgive us, way too many to log, and it was a blur for the day as well. Day 2 of our big adventure to the YP cachers event.
Smile
cheers & TFTC

Tftc, found 345pm gps was jumpy 2 start with but when I found the hint & enjoyed it, I encountered an ants nest where I needed 2 be. So thankful was I for Odieodie who had showed me her 'Cache' backpack full of tricks which included a long handled pair of tongs, so I was also glad I had commemdered a pair 4 the day...returned with tongs, SL & very wary of nosey neighbours on the crn Lft hand side as sitting on seat-unless they r cache protectors.
