Unfortunately there has not been a response (or regular update) from the cache owner within the period requested and, as per the original advice, this cache is now being de-listed (Archived) as abandoned.

If there are components or remnants of the cache, please recover them as we don't want to litter our environment.

----------

Hi there toxiemite & s-bomb,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **MAY** need some attention.

You may recall having received an automated email from Geocaching HQ which explained what you needed to do.

Unfortunately, nothing seems to have happened, so the cache is being temporarily disable - see here: [**Geocache Health Score.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713)

**You do need to respond to this enquiry in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.**

#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache to check, repair, replace or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the logs of praise to roll in.

- **Place A Write Note Log:-** Reviewers are not mind readers (more's the pity), so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, you have been in hospital, the area is in flood, or some other reason that has prevented attending to the cache, they can't tell what is going on.
You need to post a note to the page (within 14 days) explaining the situation and when a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
Be sure to indicate **the actual date that you expect to have it fixed** so that everyone knows you are on top of it. If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date) please **post a Write Note log every 4 to 6 weeks,** so as to keep everyone up to speed.

- **Adopt/Archive:-** If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another Geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**Archive it,**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of the above. Well, when the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned and processed accordingly.

Honestly, it's better for you to decide, so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Bunjil

Hope someone else has better luck

No luck today.

Spent a good 20mm a with no idea?
Car has seen better days though

Very hard to find, we didn’t persevere because we saw the defect notice pending.

Nope. Not for us today. Searched the vehicle, the logs, the hint. ave up after 1/2 hour.

Such a great sunny day to enjoy these walking tracks and some nice river views.

We enjoyed finding your cache today, thanks.

I spy with my little eye - a great bank roll

We searched and searched and tried to use the hint for assistance but no luck. The recent heavy winds may have blown more debris onto it, but the wreckage was very interesting!

Headed out early this morning to do the circuit on the MTB.
After the early ascending, these flatter trails were a relief.
This was a cool spot for a hide, but I managed to find Squizzy's stash (and sign it).
His getaway car is done though.

It is a perfect day for Mt Lofty today. We have been waiting for a day like this.
We joined the cousins on this walk today.
We didn't intend to come this far, as we were going to take the smaller loop back to the car after Adelaide Mountain. As we were enjoying ourselves so much we decided to complete the full loop. I am so glad that we did as this was definitely worth it. This is such an amazing location. We loved coming off the track to find this cache. Having enjoyed Underbelly Squizzy when it came in, this cache made so much sense when we got to the location, and even more when we looked at the log book! For that reason, as well as the great day out, we awarded a favourite point. We signed our name on one of the bills.
Thanks toxiemite & s-bomb for placing and maintaining this cache.

Nice and easy. Watch out for Bullants in the car!! Big b*stards

??

Found it. Took awhile. Move stuff around to find it

It was a great spot to hide a car!

What a strange place for a wreck! TFTC

Log book is saturated, needs replacing

Found it

What an awesome spot. Trying to Google any info on the car but no luck. RBKBLS

Cool spot

Thanks

I'm rich

The surprising things you discover while out caching. Thanks for bringing us here

Thanks toxiemite & s-bomb for the cache.
Found at 1:21 pm on 11/7/21.
Find # 2316

This took much longer than it should have. Success at the end though.

Walked by it twice before picking it up on a nice Mother's Day hike. Thank you for the cache!

Perhaps Harry and Ron crashed their magic car here..??! TFTC, trick find but secured!

On an afternoon walk in Mount Lofty Park, I stopped to pick up a few caches.
This one took a lot longer than is should have.
Thanks for the cache Gunks.

Found with icw. Judging by the log Squizzy had just robbed a bank, which earns a fav point from me.

Looks like a chevy or customline. Tftc

It’s amazing how wrecks get down to spots like that. Easy find. Thanks.

Just about to give up but a more thorough search revealed the cache. TFTC.

Cannot find. Next time

A bit of a tricky find here, despite the very good hint, as this one was virtually buried. Found after enjoying the interesting wreck. TFTC

Nice and Easy! TFTC!

TFTF

A hide to search tne area for A few minutes

on this way to this treasure, a parks victoria ute revved past in a billow of dust
a luxurious way to see the park not afforded to all

a hundred metres up the path, the ute was found sheepishly reversing after finding the narrowing track not worth traversing
a wise move

one wonders what wise moves left one old traveller in a similar pickle
except one where the driver decides to dive into the ti-trees bonnet-first
now their mistake can sit and rust as a curious enduring monument to those who would rather move at a faster pace than walking

a suggestion:
just enjoy the walk

We’re rich

TFTC

Interesting wreckage here! Well hidden, but found quickly. Found with JelenaGreenleaf. Tftc

Found with georocks101. I can definitely see how the cache got it's name. Thanks toxiemite & s-bomb

Enjoying a nice walk around Lofty. How did this get here? Ah well tftc!

Evening walk with Wonga Park RC. TFTC

Squizzy Taylor certainly was here. What a great hide. This area is just stunning.tftc Gunks 

OHC, RH and ourselves set out for a day of caching. Celebrating OHC's birthday and also that we are allowed to go out as long as it is within 25km's of home.
I'm sure we had one of these. Found much quicker than we thought it would be.
Thanks for the cache.

Out for a birthday cache run to celebrate OHC’s birthday and within hopefully the last of our overlapping 25km zones (as there isn’t much left!). Great day for it!

As is always the way the way out was far easier than our path in. A little bit of paint and I’m sure this would be back to new.

Thanks toxiemite & s-bomb for the cache.

The hint mentions a trunk which could mean two things here. Fortunately I didn't spend too long on the wrong one. Thanks toxiemite & s-bomb

Hmm. 1960's model Holden, FB model if I'm not mistaken so was Squizzy Taylor here? Nope, as ol' Squizzy 'carked it' back in 1927. Apparently Squizzy was born in Brighton in 1888 which is quite fitting as Brighton is the home of choice for another type of gangster - the corporate gangster! Anyway, I'm off on a tangent again so back to the cache log.

We were all having a look around trying to locate the cache which, incidentally I did (again), but what surprised me (us) was it was found right beside where my mates wife was standing and the dingbat was actually looking straight at it without actually seeing it! *"Lights are on but no one was home"* is a phrase that came to mind at the time. Sharp as a bowling ball, she is!

TFTC

Out with our caching buddies for a walk and to pick up some caches within our 25km radius. It appears as though Wetjala has a different view of the proceedings at GZ than Mrs Pooky. We were all checking out the car wreck then proceeded to search for the cache. While Mrs Pooky was checking out the GPS and getting her bearings Wetjala just happened to find the cache right next to where she was standing. TFTC and bringing us to this park and the walking track.

Nice easy find for Wetjala, he's having a good day finding caches, I'm not going to mention Mrs. Pooky missing it though.

I don't think that runs any more...nice spot and easy find with my geo daughter Natalie. Thanks.

What a sad looking ruin! Found the cache easily enough. Like the wreck log book has seen better days. Dry but falling apart

Still good to drive

Ha...no Squizzy in sight. But YAPIDKA almost, it’s just such a patchwork park! Wittons! Reminders of paddling times gone by! A few missions for the day include running - gotta get some fitness back and this clutch of caches is a bonus, partly so I can run rest run rest etc etc! A lovely day out on this scenic route. Good located with good coordinates. In Melbs on care duty and luckily it’s close by so given it’s a sunny winters day, the park beckons. Great spot. TFTC

Kids were impatient, next time...

Good hide! Moving things helped! Blended in

Think outside the box

Fourth time here and looked for a while couldn't find it

Can’t find it been twice and still nothing

Ice been here 4 times and I can't find it the clue makes no sense and the owner won't reply to my messages

Third time lucky!! Finally found this one. Good spot. And yes Follow the clue

People and kayaks everywhere today.
A nice spot and an easy find.
TFTC

No luck

Cool spot

Out and about early today on my quest to get some caches at Mt Lofty . This is the first time I have been here . What a Great Spot for a walk . After an extensive search I also found squizzy 's stash .

Well I was not expecting to find an old car at GZ! How on earth did that get there? The family and I had been enjoying our walk around Mt Lofty, and I headed off to look for this cache. I called out about the car, and the rest of the family seemed to think I meant there was a toy car in the cache (probably why I was told to leave it in there...!). Clearly not taking that home... Found the cache easily enough here thanks to the hint. TFTC

The GPS took me on a bit of a Qld goose chase but a check of the alt trunk soon had IP and I right.

TFTC

TFTC had us tricked - went back to find once we worked out we where on the right side of the creek after all

Amusing hint. Shared the destination with a large wombat which was a great addition

Took a while but we eventually came away with a find.

Last week I was on the other side of the valley and had such great fun walking around the place I decided to come over to Mt Lofty and grab the caches here.

I quickly found the wreck at the GZ, which I am assured is an FE Holden, however the coach took a tad longer. TFTC.

A tricky find which took much more looking than the others on this circuit. Clever! Quite the challenge!

The mini-cacher of the family spotted it very quickly.

The smallest cacher found Squizzy's counterfeit operation hiding here.

Out with xambo4u, on a day of caching in cold weather, we had success as no-one else wanted to venture out. We warmed up on the climb, and enjoyed the views along the way.
This had us searching a little until we read the hint, then all became clear!! A great cache. Thanks toxiemite & s-bomb

Lovely area to cache, day1976 I think had already gotten this one.

Great spot

Out on a day hike with Rangers Australia. Kids loved the area. And some caches to go. Thanks for a great area. Will be back. TFTC

A fun Family hike to welcome the new year and enjoy the pleasant sunny weather. I'd heard about this park some time ago and have been keen to visit it. Today was the day and it didn't disappoint, it's a really lovely spot. Plus, we got to bag some caches!

Thus was number 5 for the day. It took a little while but after wider searching, we soon spotted an obvious bit of camo and the cache was quickly in hand. TFTC.

Sad

This was a nice quick find. TFTC

Found on 3 Nov 2018 at 11:28 am.
Today the bike was temporarily out of action but Fleabag and I needed a T5 cache for this month for a challenge we were working on so we headed out to this beautiful park along the river with the bonus of also getting an old cache for the Ausmer challenge that I am also slowly working on.
The weather was really good, nice and cloudy and not to hot because there was a couple of serious hill climbs today.

Wow, strange place to dump that. Surely there could have been easier places to do it.
Nice quick find here. Covered it up slightly better since it was right out in the open.
Thanks toxiemite & s-bomb for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Today Spiffy- and I headed out to find a few random caches plus enjoy a walk. This was nice to make a quick find. Thanks to toxiemite & s-bomb for placing this cache.

Found today at 4:45pm in company of Cold Freeze. First place I looked but unfortunately second time we looked there 15 minutes later. Thanks from D B-A

Will very tricky hide but found it

Taking some newbies for their first Geochaches, TFTC

No luck for us today.

Little tricky But the hint sent us on the

Yep, that car needs some work! TFTC.

A great find the last one of the day! Davies clan

Found it

Found it

I'd love to know the story behind this wreck. Were they transporting downriver perhaps? The kids were convinced it would be full of snakes so opted not to use it as a photo op. Who made them so smart? Bit cold for snakes today though. Certainly feeling the chill down here by the river with the mountain blocking the sun. Makes it feel much later in the day than it is.

TFTC

Intersting spot

Out doing some Mt Lofty caches. Found this one after a little search. GPS a little wild. TFTC

Very different cache. Tftc
