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.

What a mess. Despite previous NM logs on this one and the fact that this cache is in a very inappropriate
place, (on a grave) and yes it is being found but most logs have indicated that the log needs replacing and the cache also needs relocating. I would normally replace the log but in this case I am not going to as I, as stated,fee l that the cache needs to be relocated a few meters to a more appropriate location. Thanks for hiding in this area but please maintain if you can and I sway this as a hider of over 200 caches. Sorry for the negative comments but some one had to say them.

TFTC! Quick find on our way back to Yamba with friends. Log is full and not in very good condition.

The cone was on ground . Could not put log back in. Paper needs replacing . Put cone back on tree . Please check it

Found with team meow 22nd November

Drove up to Maclean today from Wooli to do a bit of shopping. Nothing was open so we drove to Yamba, did the shopping there, then returned to Maclean to find some caches that were new to us. This was the first one. Found it safe and signed the log before replacing it to where we'd found it. [^][^]

In the defense of the CO the placement of the cache isn't on a grave. It is near a memorial stone.
Found it although it is missing it's lid.
Beautiful cemetery.

Placement is inappropriate as indicated by other cachers. Suggest either moving it to a location outside the cemetery OR archiving it.

Like those before us found it and consider this to be ENTIRELY inappropriate. There are plenty of trees that could be used without putting it were it is. Strongly recommend that you move the cache OR archive it.

Ta

Nice easy find today although as other have said the log has seen better days. We agree that it probably should be moved now to a less sensitive location. Thanks Computer Man's.

As others have said this definitely needs the CO to look at this cache, you now need to stand on a memorial area to retrieve the cache. If I could give it an un favourite I would.

Found it.

Thanks for the cach! 121 found with Brad1987 & Batdos Also i couldnt sign it as i couldnt get the paper out as it was stuck. Sorry nice hide

I have a BIG milestone coming up and am needing to get the numbers just right for the correct week-end.
So a big day out caching is needed. I basically have gone from Maclean to Grafton to Casino to Lismore today for about 50 caches.
As others have mentioned, there is no lid on the cache and it is now over a memorial plaque of someone. When to CO does some maintenance you may also want to move the cache as well.
Thanks for caches everyone.

NM log of January 2015 has not been acted upon and this one does need attention as the log will not last with all the current inclement weather.

Next one on my list. Followed GPSr and parked at the entrance to the resting place. I do not like hides in grave yards and especially this one. Why. I found it hanging in a tree that is growing in a memorial garden with a plaque in remembrance of some one's family member departed. The lid is missing from the container and the log is damp but is able to be used. TFTC Computer Man's

4168 Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1310. Seen this kind of container before and when it is with about 100 others it gets a little frustrating, but this was just there. The lid of the capsule is missing but log still dry. SL Tnx Computer Man's

Thanks for the hide
Found with brad1987

Container was missing its lid and has become home to some ants their eggs. Cleaned out as best as we could but log will get wet.

Ducked up to evans heads today to get the travelling cache traffic control Mark II. Why we were up this far from home we decided to cache our way back. Found with Batdos. Thanks for the cache. Fairly quick find. Like batdos said container no longer has a lid.

Very well hidden
TFTC

We have spent a couple of days in Grafton to watch the Bridge 2 Bridge ski race. While here we though we would spend a day caching in the nearby area.
We spent a nice day travelling along the scenic country roads, mostl locations with views of the river.
A clever hide, in a nice quiet area.
Log book missing so have placed a small piece of paper, the cap is missing from the container.
Thanks for placing this cache Computer Man's

Cleaver spot to hide. Very peaceful.

2nd find for the day, very clever spot indeed!!

Lid has come away from the test tube, leaving log exposed. We found the log on the ground so wedged back in place for now. Current log looks like a replacement, too long for the test tube.

Out caching with Baby Birt today and fount this cache in need of maintenance. Squirt the Turtle came to visit.

Almost gave up on this one, but thanks to my trusty Galaxy tablet, finally found the cache.
This is ingenious Computer Man's.

Not so sure if log is secure or waterproof...... Please check.

Visiting from Newcastle, staying at the Riverside Caravan Park, nice hide, replaced the log but the lid is missing so it will probably get wet soon, TFTC Computer Man's!!

After a wonderful day picnicking at the beach, it's time to pick up a cache or two while the kids are napping in the back of the car. Didn't know which picture to pick, beautiful beach or plentiful kangaroos.

TFTC & bringing us to this quiet little area.

We have a similar hide at our home caching ground so this was a quick find.
Thanks Computer Man's

Quick easy find in the town's resting place

After another short search this one was in hand, although even with tweezers we were unable to retrieve the log. Also, is there supposed to be a lid on the plastic? If so, there wasn't one here.

Nice hide TFTC

Found with billius69, had a look couldn't find it so went to the beach and on the way back we got it!

Took a while but found it.... clever!

Clever hide with this cache! Clues in other logs finally had us looking in the right direction. Footed are spot on. TFTC

TFTH good one

Mr. Dhobitock went ahead to search for this one. He was searching in all the places, until I decided to go and give him a hand. I carefully read the description, the logs and went hunting. In 2 minutes I FOUND ITTTTT

Very nice camo work! TFTC

We had a good idea of what we were looking for but our GPSr was bouncing around. Once it settled down it was Mr. Grundies whose eagle eyes spied this one first. TFTC

Nice hide on this one. Left Mrs Grundies in the car to enjoy the air con instead of the intense heat. Team Herbz and Mr grundies went in search. Offending item spotted I left left the retrieval to mr Herbz. A very neat little spot we've passed many times on our way to Brooms Head. TFTC

Took a long time to find this which seems funny now. Definitely need tweezers to remove log. Great hide.

What can I say ! Looked and Looked and Looked! Very close to making it a DNF but persevered. Initially went to GZ but thought no it can not be there out of respect. Read past comments - guess what, it was were I was initially with GZ. This cache is in my Top 5!

This cache is located about a kilometre from where I used to live. Even have some Xmas decorations I have made from the pine trees at GZ. Searching time was about 20 minutes for Richmond Lad and I - but as someone said in one of the logs - trust the technology!!!
Another favourite from me Computer Man's.

I thought I was at the right place when I parked the geomobile outside the gates
Yes !! We have pine trees
A few pine cones were randomly scattered around,
but all were where one would expect them to be

I headed for the nearby bushes to have a poke.
Woo hoo !! There was a pine cone in the agapathus !!
I excitedly grabbed hold of it and turned it over in me paws,
looking for the cache

Nothing !! [:o]
I tossed it back !!

I double checked the GPS for confirmation of GZ.
Over there eh ??
Off I trotted.
And after another 15 minutes of looking through hedges and trees,
I could find no pinecones out of place in this place

A DNF was mine
I wandered back to the geomobile,
climbed in and before starting the engine,
idly stared through the windscreen for a moment.

From 20 metres away I could see the cache [:o]
I had missed seeing it from less than a metre away on several occasions !!
That is just embarrassing
I hopped back out of the car and soon had the logbook signed

Cache-blindness strikes again !!

Lovely hide but had trouble extracting log without tool, so didn't sign . Picked up some pine cones for our Sandon fire.

great hide, well done computer mans. it was a bit soggy underfoot today but no muggles around. tftc.

When we stopped here there were five muggles with large bags collecting pinecones . . . . . . yoiks! Fortunately they weren't quite in the same area we wanted to go. A very nicely hidden cache and a favourite for us. TFTC computer mans.

Wow, great cache. Pegajenu junior found it, great eyes as it certainly was not were we expected it to be. Thanks for a great cache

After 3 DNFs at what should have been stop & grabs, this one saved Gourmet's sanity...though probably only thanks to previous logs from which came some necessary clues. Very tricky. When brain says no and GPS says yes, trust the technology on this one. TFTC

Came to say hello to a passed friend. Some big roos watching on. After a few minutes of searching I found the cache but I lack a certain attribute neede to actually open it and sign the log. You'll just have to believe me. Hey, it's Christmas.

Cache # 1885, Found @7:59:00 AM.

Very clever. Quick compass calibration & I had it found in a jiffy
Thanks to computer mans for the cache

Nice one, but cache nicely disguised.

its ready to go

sorry nead to replace logs

Found at 3:49 PM GAFF3. The cache was no where to be seen. We knew what to look for but nothing. Then all of a sudden on the lawn - metres away from the tree was a pinecone.
When examined a nano insert was noticed. Yep that was the cache ready to be shredded the next time the ride on mower came by.
Thanks computer mans
Feedback:
The note has no stash note header.

Last one for the day
Our Favourite by far so will add it to our favourite list
Nice to see a cache with a difference
Geo hubby standing right under it and did not spot it
took trackable Aussie-Bound for Jody1V for a visit
tftc

Found after a latte in town. Third find at 8.05. Tnln. Sl. Lucky I had tweezers today.

Enjoyed this a lot. This was our first of the day and probably the toughest. We checked out quite a few red herrings but then trusted the coords and looked closer to make the hit. It was kind of what I was expecting but not where I expected it! Thanks for a goodie!

Very clever... TFTC

# 323. 3rd and final cache for the day. Mmm, knew what I thought I would be looking for but couldn't see it. The GPS and iPhone were both in agreement but I couldn't see what they were telling me. Luckily a different pair of eyes was looking properly and found it for me. Great hide. I have found one like it in Albury previously. Was pleased to be carrying that most useful of retrieval tools - a toothpick. TNLN. Thanks for the hide.

Find:352

24 of 27 found today

Great cache TFTC

This one gets a favourite point...what a challenge!! and a cool cache..found log had dried out but could not be unfurled..dry paper pulp..replaced log...TFTC Computer mans

A challenging hide and cool cache type..thanks for the cache Computer mans

Saved this one for Feb 29 special.

Found quickly but log is mushy so I could not sign.

I was sure I could find this one but it wasn't that easy. When I did finally see it I couldn't get the log out without damaging it (I think it's wet) so I took a photo to send the owner to prove I found it. Compuuter mans caches are well worth a visit.

This took awhile and we spread the search further only to end up back where we started a yell from Mr Gap and the cache was in hand TFTC

GPS took us to a spot that seemed to have no likely possibilities, so searched a more likely area.... only to fail dismally there. Returned to where the GPS has said.... now, how did I miss that?

Thanks computer mans

Found on a stormy Saturday afternoon. Great hide and great job compuer mans.
was unable to extract the log so I emailed owner to get approval to log the find.
tftc

Had been losing sleep over not finding this one,so glad to have another opportunity for a look,brought some extra help to find it,and soon had it spotted,don't know how I missed it before.A very clever cache.TFTC.c.m.

All was going well today with 5 FTF's then we arrived here, searched for over three quarters of an hour and came up with nothing. TFTC.

My First FTF, great cache and talked to the relatives while we were there, not sure if they heard us though. It was wet so repaired and left new log sheet, fragile but great cache, treat with care. Tweezers are a must for your caching kit TFTC Computer Mans
