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, therefore 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 by 20th May 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.

We had a look for this one today, we could not find even with many eyes, too many DNF'S, I think it needs to be Archived.

I couldn't find this geocache, maybe I'll have better luck next time!

Is this cache still available?

Teenmuggles everywhere. Set out early to beat the heat. Success and lovely walk. Did four of the many in Trentham. TFTC. Angus the great GeoWestie assisted by grey nomad Carer Lis Brown enroute from Bundaberg Qld to Perth WA via Tasmania.

Second time back here looking for this, and even after a big hint from an earlier finder, no luck. Maybe CO could check again?

We had no luck with this one. No sure if it is still there.

Had a search but couldn't find the cache today

over the last 3 days searched for this one, found plenty of rubbish but no cache. Is it still there ? or did we just miss it.

Between the muggles and not knowing French(we should have goggled it before we came!!!) we did not find it this time.

I was on an early morning walk about Daylesford and this was the fourth stop on my tour. It was very conveniently located because I had promised the family pancakes for breakfast so I took the opportunity to grab flour and baking powder while I was here.

I followed my magic arrow to about 3 meters from GZ and spotted the hide tell tale. It was a good time of the day to be there because I can imagine muggle dodging could be pretty tricky when more people are awake.

A quick grab and as the previous logger noted the cache was empty. I added a slip of paper as an interim log. Log signed I re-hid the cache and proceeded on to do some shopping.

Thanks for the cache TheQuantamQuark.

muggled and empty [:(!]

Tool a while to find but once we really used the hint it wasn't too bad...a good hide & lots of fun

Good hide

Attempted at 2:25pm during the school holidays.
Had to wait for a few people to move on before I moved in on GZ. Once there I sat down and pondered my next move.
Saw what I thought was the cache so went in for a look. Bingo! Quickly retrieved and signed log while acting very casual with my Solo drink. Quickly returned it to it's hiding spot and made my escape.
Nice hide! TFTC

I believe I found it but as there was a snag sizzle set up next to it no way of getting it unnoticed. Next time

We just could not get this one to click, the name was a good clue but still nothing. We had fun looking though!

Found this one while drinking a coffe trying to look casual. Had a great laugh when I spotted it. Good one . Thanks for the fun hide.

This cache has been bugging me since last time I attempted this so I thought I would go for a drive and find it.

Not sure if Father's day was the best time to be here.

As it turned out it was.

Myslef and the geokids soon had a hand on this clever hide.

It was a little tricky but the decoys kept the muggles at bay.

We signed the log and moved on.

TFTC

This hide was fun.

We looked around and soon found it.

We singed the log and left.

I had lots of fun here.

The man was playing music.

We found the treasure.

Geodad found this cache. Cool setup.

This is our second visit, this time with Geodad. Wow, what a clever hide. We looked there last time but obviously not hard enough. Geodad lured it out, we took it back to the car, logged our find and then replaced the cache. A definite favourite from us. Caching tonight with Tomstache, there were very few muggles around. Lucky!

Found on an early morning dash for the August Challenge. We were lucky with muggles at the time were there must have all been dropping children at school or it was too cold and wet for them to come out. A very sneaky hide.
TFTC

Had to stop to get supplies on way home found this clever hide signed and stashed back before any muggles spotted us

Quick easy find on the way to the supermarket - haha only joking took until the second visit & had to bring 4 friends with me but did manage to find it myself TFTC SL

Did a bit of trash clearing but unable to get our hands on the cache today.

No luck for Suscoe today, muggles everywhere and an old chap warning all of the dangers of everything.
So given the crowd, it was coffee time.
Will be back.

Thought a freezing cold and rainy day might have meant less muggles - wrong!! Will have to try again another time we stop in Daylesford.

Came back late at night to do this one, too many muggles during the day! TFTC!

When we came here yesterday we suspected where the hide might be but muggle central prevented us from checking it out. Tonight we came a bit later, et voila: ici. Another log signed, another ghost has stopped haunting us.
Thanks for the challenge!

10/06/13 11:12 Find #2313 . The muggles in the vicinity were too busy doing muggle things to notice me as I made a quick find/log/replace

TNLN

Cheers TheQuantumQuark

Well...I thought I had logged this on my phone, but it appears not!
Anyway, after a full on day of catering for the "Daylesford Dash" rogaine down at the speedway, I was heading home and I thought I might have a chance at getting this cache.
I waited for a break in the traffic and mozied on over to GZ in a most nonchalant manner.
Pulling the cache from its hide I reached for my pen...oh no, no pen.
Bugger!! A quick replacing of the cache, a dash to the car, back again, "take 2..."
Waiting, waiting, waiting....GO!
Log signed and replaced.
TFTC

Mission impossible style... Full daylight and muggles EVERYWHERE!! Still got job done with out a look.. TFTC

Will this one fit a travel bug in it? Coming up for the Geonanny's 80th and i have a friends travel bug he wants me to drop off.

Find #915. Found @ 21:35 with the good lady wife after a failed attempt last night, and a daylight reconnaissance trip today. Last night I had an idea which was so very close, then on the recon visit (while picking up supplies) I spotted something suspiciously like a clue which made me want to revisit when there were less muggles loitering nearby.
We had dinner along the main street and walked past here to find the area vacant. A quick check of the theory resulted in cache in hand, and the first to sign the replacement log.
A bit of a novelty gets a favourite point from me.
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache TheQuantumQuark.

Looked for this one this morning, but no luck.

Cache has been replaced!

Round trip from Ballarat to Bendigo with friends and finding a few caches along the way. High muggle area and unable to search properly. Hate giving up but had no choice.

DNF. Tried to find this cache while on a drive, heaps so muffles, couldn't make out the hint

Wandered round and round but no creux appeared.... Would co like to enlighten 2 tourists with a further hint? CO really needs to keep a regular check on this one IMO......

Good tricky hide, but hubby was on the ball. Found on a friday shopping morning. busy busy ,nobody took any notice of us. tftc

I loved finding this one, its definitely a tricky one to uncover with juggles around though. very clever! TNLN

Supermarket closed at 10pm. Cache accessed 10:15pm with ease.

Not happy with this one - muggles and unsuitable location!

Found by caughtatwork at 16:42 on 6/01/2013
This was the first cache of the afternoon drive. We came up here to find a Geocaching Australia cache, but the weather was so nice we decided to find a by gc caches as well. Not too hard a cache to find. The co-ords were excellent so it was really a matter of elimination and I was lucky enough to come up with the cache here.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks TheQuantumQuark for this clever cache style this afternoon.

Rated: for Overall Experience

I found this cache with caughtatwork and mummy this afternoon. Thank you.

We did it. Muggles everywhere but stealth got us through.

TFTC

Lots of muggles, found a quiet time. Love the it's all in the name.
TFTC

in a great spot

I'd popped by here yesterday on our way in to town and had a quick look. A few possibilities but with no internet or french dictionary I was in a bit of a muddle... So the next morning I PAF'd to a friendly cacher who checked out something at a local bookstore and messaged me the translation. That gave me a clue which didn't really come to fruition the next time I visited (which also happened to be the busiest), but then another spot seemed possible. Hmm... if that's it, that's might impressive!! And sure enough, I spotted something a bit familiar and then, with a great bit of stealth work, sneakily grabbed the cache whilst the muggles moved around me in all their busyness.

TFTC. A great job and a favourite. And darn it - I left my TBs back in the car!!

TFTC and nice hide, had fun with this one! Thanks

What a clever idea brought some friends from melb on their 2nd cache joe finds it

Found by Roma and Max.
We were fortunate here today as there were only a few passers by to avoid in our search and doubly so as an obvious change has taken place at GZ which assisted us significantly.
However it is an excellent hide and we hope can be maintained to provide enjoyment and challenge for many future searchers.
Thanks QQ and cheers,
from Romax.

It was the night before Christmas and all through the town hardly a muggle was stirring not even a.. I wish! This arvo was Xmas Eve and the muggles where everywhere !!

TFTC
Found with PhoebeIrene

Found this one on our holiday in the Ballarat/Bendigo area. A nice quick find one all the muggles cleared out. TFTC, found with WyldMan92

Surpise

Sorry TheQuantumQuark for the generic log but I'm trying to catch up on my logging, I currently have over 1000 to log before hitting some powertrails in the US after the block party next week. As always I enjoy the hunt whether I'm solo or with some of my caching or muggle friends. Thanks to those who have accompanied me to make the day more pleasurable and many thanks TheQuantumQuark for placing this cache.

Hmmmm... I really need to brush up on my French! Without a French dictionary, I had an idea that "creux" meant "cross" but I was wrong. That incorrect translation had me looking for something else that didn't even exist. In any case, there were too many people to do much more than look. I'll be back when it's quieter....

Have logged this as a DNF despite not really having a go at it. We are certain we know exactly where it is. There were too many muggles on our first attempt and on our return it looked like someone had deposited their lunch right at GZ! Figured it was better to stay away. We were going to return at some rediculous hour to tiptoe through the mess to make the grab however were too tired after a busy day. We will return oneday!

Hmmm. A sense of satisfaction once found. Night time proved a bonus. TFTC

Second go at this one but in the evening. Great hide. TFTC

Found after scoping the area yesterday. Far too many muggles in the vicinity at the time but far fewer when I went back tonight. That's not to say that shopping muggles weren't a constant threat! Made the grab after a panicked retrieval and signed the log in the car. Managed to replace the log book while only rating a 6/10 on the loitering weirdo scale. Great hide - I'm not even sure how you managed to hide it without being spotted. Easy favourite point from me. TFTC.

Arrived here with bogonghazy today after grabbing a few quick numbers and an Earthcache for International Earthcache day. The courtyard was full of teens, who looked liked they were settled for the arvo. We had a snoop around, without being too noticeable, and eventually decided to leave it for another day, as there were muggles coming and going as well. Got back in the car, and as Phil was pulling up the next cache on the list, I kept lookout on GZ. One by one the teens were departing, so it was a quick run back, and bogonghazy had the cache quickly in hand. Deserves a fave, thanks from me. Great hide.

Sully1 and I outlasted the muggle teens here, who weren't causing any strife, but had parked right on top of GZ. Sully noticed them leaving as we were looking to leave this, so we headed back, and 'something not quite right' along with perfect coords, had this clever hide in hand.
Thanks TheQuantumQuark, a fave point from me too

Eh parked in the carpark and had a cursory look after some teens left the spot. But there were too many people coming and going that would notice me poking about in the area. Got something from the nearby bakery and happily gave up on the hunt.

CANNOT BELIEVE That we actually got FTF on a cache in Daylesford a couple days after being published. We thought on our way out to this one that surely someone found it and just hadn't had the chance to log it yet.
Upon arriving our GPS was all over the shop, but after a while it settled down and we got close to the GZ
After some thinking, prodding around and thinking some more about the hint, we found the clever cache and to our delight an empty log book!

Very well hidden, would NOT recommend during day time - would be a bit tough getting away with it in such a high muggle area, but on a late Friday night not a soul in sight!

TFTC

FTF after seeing this one had been published a few days ago and was yet to be found myself and S 4 Sammy decided to go for a quick drive out to Daylesford and attempt to get FTF, the gps had us wandering around in circles in the cold night air but I eventually spotted something that didn't look quite right and had the container in hand after a few seconds, great first hide and great urban cache, I can also agree that this would be virtually impossible in the daytime

Grabbed the TB and Geocoin
