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 within 7 days, 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 7 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 feel that this cache should be brought to the local reviewer's attention.

The wildlife park is no longer operating as such and the entrance to the car park has a sign "Private Property - Keep Out". According to my GPS GZ is about 5m on the private side of temporary fencing.

At the very least, the cache needs to be disabled until the CO decides what should be done with it. There are possible hides outside the private area, if the CO still wishes to bring people here.

private property. if you come to find late night, you will get someone shining a torch in your face.
guessing this one is no longer active.

CO like to check this one? One of my puzzle caches depends on it being available......

Thanks for the cache

Found, thanks

Was easy to find, didn't have to go through bushes.

Private property

On private property!

Tempoary frncing made it abit hard although cache is still there, mIght want to move this cache before it dissapears in the demolition

Tftc the guy from the sanctuary came to us so we explained what we are doing. Some big works are going to be done i i think the spot is going to be demolished.

Not many muggles here. Some building works r about to happen. Found cache though. Not sure how much longer it will be there.

Heading out of Albury and having just picked up a coffee at a nearby service station, we pulled in here for a quick park and grab. Well that was not the usual way a cache is hidden haha. Nice hide and a quick find. Thanks a lot

Second deserted and abandoned tourist attraction in the last hour, on the radar only because of a cache. Such a shame a bypass kills off tourism but guess it also keeps muggles at bay and it’s up to cachers to keep the memory alive or what once was whether that be ruins, history or theme parks.

TFTC one thinks this place is now defunct

Great place for a cache good hide. A quick find.
Signed and replaced. TFTC.

Found it!

Fun find!

A nice quick find on the way to Sydney. This used to be the main road. TFTC

Found it! Took a smiley face button left thai baht.

Out with nacspaceman to find some local caches. Had this one on our list for some time so nice to cross it off. TFTC The3Rs

Out with Geopop to do some cacheing. This was a nice stop on our way to the big X. TFTC The3Rs

Good find with Danni. Took TB will drop off somewhere far soon!

Found tb will drop off elsewhere soon good location.

Hope the animals were looked after when this place closed. Dropped 2 tb. Tftc

Quick find, no-one around today and the old sanctuary looks very bedraggled - just another one of Albury's so-called tourist 'attractions' to have fallen on hard times (Ettamogah Pub, Cumberoona, Uiver.....) TFTC

Shame the sanctuary is closed. Tftc

#369. 47 days in a row.

Heading down to Melbourne and grabbed a few caches on the way down.

This one was a reasonably quick find, although I searched the wrong part of the location first.

Tftc

Cool spot

Found! Took about 10 - 15mins...
Just didn't know how dirty I had to get my hands...
I use to go to this place heaps as a kid!
Tftc!

Had to wait for a couple of muggles walking their puggle to move on before I could conduct my search, quickly found it as was off on my next find. TFTC The3Rs

After a DNFS at X marks the spot I was feeling a it more optimistic. It is so sad this placebos closed.as a child I came here many times, I wore a blue dress when I was about 8 and the emus went nuts. Thanks Mr Roo, I hope you also got to visit here as a child.

D Brown and myself found it
This place was great before it shut

Fun find. Cheers!

This cache was sitting out in the open so I have hidden it in the same area but with more coverage. Also there is no travel bug here.

Shame its not open anymore, was a nice place to visit back when it was open

Shame its not open anymore, was a nice place to visit back when it was open

Shame this wildlife centre is closed. Have been here years ago when it was open and quite popular.

Good one.

Found quickly in the obvious spot. Tftc.

Nice hide!
Found with Shellumbus and Geofriends.

Walked past it a few times before indianagleeson spotted it

Up this way today to catch up with some family business, naturally any excuse to find as many caches also. What a whirl wind tour of the area it was. Many thanks to The3Rs for the effort and placement of the cache SL.

Slink1 had some business in the country so it was an extended run of caches picking them up where we

could.TFTC The3Rs TNLT SL

Headed down the really long thin black line this time to Victoria to try to finish off the HCRT Series. And attempt another couple of series in Northern Victoria. Day four of the adventure left Myrtleford early morning and headed back to the Hoopshot series, To pick up a few more before wending my way home. Hoping to find a few more on the way. What a spectacular place here in what I suppose you call the High Country of Victoria, No matter where I go in Australia I find a place that’s got the Wow factor. Great cache. TFTC

[:(!] Heading to Albury after spending a few days in Wagga, picked up a couple of caches and this was one of them, parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes.

On the way to Benalla we found many good caches.

Cache soon found .Left a TB
Thanks for placing the cache The3Rs

NT NL SL TFTC

First stop was way too far from the cache. Once at GZ my first search proved unsuccessful. I took a few steps back and Ahhh thats looks like a possibility and it was

Thanks The3Rs for the hunt. Very sad to see yet another local attraction closed.

Quick & easy find with no muggles. Shame oz.e.wildlife closed down as the kids loved visiting & feeding the animals. Geokids spotted some camels on the drive from bowna reserve to here - quite exciting! TFTC

On our day searching we had a terrible start with 2 dnf but glad to get our first for the day. Tftc

Nice quick find after one rotation of the hide.
Tftc

Found with muzzy and poppy. So sad oze wildlife is closed. Good cache for the kids. Thanks.

Saw a Muggle walking his dog

Found it with Geoworkfriend

Found

There was only a matter of one place it could be hidden. But where on that place? That seemed to be the problem.

TFTC

Found, on our way to the Albury event.
Great animal park, not open, no muggles.
Good hide, TFTC

Great hide. Ta!

Fun Find

#1,836

Does this place still operate? It looked deserted when we were there. still, that meant we could search in peace, and climb over things that maybe you wouldn't climb over if there were a lot of people around.

Took some searching, but we got there. Thanks

We were on our way home to Sydney from Melbourne, picking up what caches we could along the way. We almost drove past this because we missed the first turnoff, but we saw the second further down the highway, so we doubled back. The park looks a bit rundown and was closed when we pulled in to search for the cache. It took a few minutes of searching to spot, but we got it just when I began to wonder if it was still there. Thanks

Back in town for a visit with my parents after having last been here a year ago, and today is caching day. [^] Out and about early and next up was this one. Arrived at GZ and commenced the search being conscious of the nearby shop entry. After a few sneaky attempts it dawned on us that this place was deserted. OK, slightly less sneakiness employed and soon it was noticed in a rather odd positions (according to us), may not have been always exactly there we think, but there is where we returned it. Cheers.

Greetings from Brisbane. Thanks for placing this cache, The3Rs. Found in good condition.
{Overall find #1823}

Quick stop on the way to Wagga. TFTC.

(Found with ywurry and gonefishen07)

What a shame! I guess given it's location it was difficult to get people to come and visit this facility when it was fully operational. I'm glad we made the effort though, albeit a little too late! We had just as much fun looking around this place as we did looking for the cache.

TFTC!

P.S. Sorry for the late log.

with Gonefishen07 & Anderka.

As others have said - an essential part of our aussie values - caring for sicka nd injured wildlife, yet sad it's not commercially viable. The place seems to be maintained privately as a few species still evident and well cared for.

TFTC!
Ywurry

PS sorry for late log - interwebs finally back on line..

Found with Anderka Ywurry and geochild after attending event we headed off to do some more caching.
Very sad that a place that had been running for 42 years had to close. Maybe the local council could have done more to save this educational place for young and old. Geo child was very sad at what had happened here. TFTC TNL1

Took a few minutes the search this one out, a shame about the park being closed due to the freeway bypass.... TFTC

Fun and quick find. Geochild loved this one

Shame it has closed down - kids enjoyed visiting TFTC

Shame oze wildlife shut down

Kids love scrambling dont they?
found with no hassles.
I have posted an old picture of us at the park a few summers ago.
Its a shame it couldn't stay open
TFTC

A quick find, thanks.
