Unfortunately I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore as advised previously, the cache is being de-listed (Archived) to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

The [**Geocache Maintenance guideline**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains what needs to happen with a Disable cache.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article [**here**](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=56).

If you wish to contact me please send an email via my profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

A DNF on this one. Admittedly I didn't look as hard as possible due to muggles galore.

Does this car have a connection to the cache owner? Nice find in a beautiful city.

Thanks GOTHS

Thankfully we approached this one from the correct side. Busy afternoon in Strath today but we avoided muggle detection here. Didn't realise until reading the cache description what the original intent of this hide was. It all makes sense now.

We have been nearing a milestone for a while and Mrs Gizmo decided that today was the day to get those last few finds and reach the milestone. So a list was made and we set off on our journey from Tailem Bend to Murray Bridge via Langhorne Creek, Strathalbyn and finally Salem.

We managed to find all of our target caches and had lots of fun along the way. A day of interesting locations, clever hides and some silliness. The best type of day.

Well, after two attempts finally got !
Like many things in life their are two sides to any problem or cache. I also met lovely group of cachers and we all signed the log.
 
22-May-18
Kept away from that Peppertree this time and came up a winner straight away
 
15-May-18
blown the tyre on the truck so limped in to get it replaced. 2 hour wait before they started meant i went for a walk around town. I came here, but believe i was on the wrong side of the fence. By the time i finished by 5.6 km walk i didn't have time to visit the other side of the fence. I shall be back.

Looks like we went about this one the wrong way after receiving some clarification from the CO. Makes sense now.

A nice easy find in the obvious place near a conveniently place carpark. TFTC.
 
04-Oct-17
The coords took us through a gate marked private property so we gave up.
 
30-Sep-17
After starting on the wrong side of the fence, we made it to the correct side but came up empty handed other than a disgusting zip-lock bag containing a cigarette packet stuffed with ?drugs ?body fluid which was found by the 4 year old. That's when we stopped looking.

A nice size cache in such a public place, well done. The cache is in good condition. SL TFTC

Great camo and nice hide. Using the hint was a help. Love the Bakery in this special place. Have stopped many times on our travels in S.A.

A fairly quick find today as nearly all of Strath was a ghost town. The GPSr was indicating toward the large pepper tree over the fence, and we nearly drove around to thew other side for a look. Luckily I spotted a glimpse of the cache in it's cosy little spot and we soon had our stamp in the log book.

We took [„G-Race 2012“ Tomate](https://coord.info/TB3T8Z7), and left [The Hanging Parachuter](https://coord.info/TB618A7) for the next finder to move along.

Thanks GOTHS.
 
Hanging out with Brisal5 and Mogni while they did maintenance on this cache. Left behind the tomato which I'd held on to for far too long. I hope the next caretaker is more responsible.

We had high hope of logging a find here as we had the area to ourselves. After searching unsuccessfully, we resorted to the hint and previous logs.

Our heart sank after read the previous log, and wondered why six weeks have passed with no action from the cache owner.

We look forward to a future find when the cache gets fixed up.
 
16-Mar-17
Despite spending time searching around this site, which was a dump, no sign at all , may need a look see by the owner.
Cheers.

Went there today at about 13.30 hrs, and found an empty container without lid. It was not hidden, just sitting on the carpark ashphalt.
Plastic container with brown paint and screw on type of lid.
Looks like someone found it and destroyed it.
There was an empty plastic sleeve laying on the ground that should have been holding a geocoin that I've been following.

A quick find with a muggle friend, once we realised what side of the fence we needed to be on - as we'd approached from the opposite direction on foot and hadn't realised there was a carpark off the other street, no one around at the hour we were there so no worry about muggles.

GEOCACHING ROCKS!!! [:X]

Thanks for the cache GOTHS! Smile

We are on our way home from a 5 day holiday from Bendigo to Kangaroo Island, staying at Kingscote.
Today we have very little time to stop as we have to travel from Kingscote to Nhill.

Managed to snaffle this on while we stopped in this very pretty but water logged spot for lunch. Cache was in the open in a very bare garden so you might want to check on it.

Dr Owl had a free day and invited a fish out for a caching run.... This means a day of good company, many laughs and a bit of caching thrown in for good measure. My tally was 26 finds, including a couple of unexpected bonus finds and 4 dnf's. After my disastrous directing
I don't think I'll be asked along again.Big Grin

Dr Owl built up my expectations here, it's a pity to see the original cache has been replaced.

Thanks for the cache GOTHS.
