I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, specimenX, requesting additional time.
An ample opportunity has been provided for the Cache Owner to respond, but since this opportunity has been ignored, I can only conclude that the cache has been abandoned.
Caches archived under these circumstances are unable to be Unarchived, and this location is now available for the placement of a new cache, by somebody else.

Hi specimenX,
This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, only to discourage people from visiting this location until this cache may be addressed.
**Please note that caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis you will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't just pop out and fix the issue,** geocache maintenance can wait. Once the acute threat of pandemic is over, I will remind you about your cache needing attention.
Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so. However, I would like to assure you I will not be archiving any caches which the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain.
I'll pass by in about another 45 days and hopefully this will all be over.

Another DNF making four for the day - oh dear! Searched through quite a bit of rubbish and extended the circle bug to no avail. Note that this one hasn't been found since August 2020.
Had a good look, but could not find the cache. Thank you for bringing us here SpecimenX
Nice afternoon walk on the weekend to do some caching in our area and do the last of the Meandering Mirrabei series. Easy find away from passing muggles. TFTC
*18 Apr 2019, Found @8:47 am, Find # 2681.*
In town for the mega and staying with friends nearby and picking up a few local caches and this was one of them. Nice to find a larger size cache in the suburbs.
**Thanks to specimenX for placing this cache.**

Nice one. It is refreshing to come across a regular sized cache after many micros and smalls, especially in the suburbs. This was my third cache of the night (not counting 1 DNF) and was a reasonably quick find. Given the size of the container, I added some swaps. TFTC
Great afternoon for it. Left our gems behind today so nothing left by us. One step closer to 100
Having just got one cache from the UGC series, I decided to pick up a few more during a break in the rain. This was the last one and was an easy find. Nice to see a regular container. TFTC SX
The crows sure did make a lot of noise about me walking through their spot here! Camo had slipped off the cache but was tucked away out of sight still, found extra camo and recovered it so hopefully it stays. Thanks for the cache specimenX.
As I scrambled under one tree genghicat says, 'my GPS says over here.' Finally giving up on my location I grudgingly move location. 'It's right there', I say as genghicat innocently asks where? I open the cache to see it already signed. Grrr

Headed out on another lovely Sunday afternoon drive with AngelG27 to pick up a wide variety of caches. I found some puzzles I'd solved, my first multi and my first trackable which was all very exciting. It was a worthwhile trip for AngelG27 too!
This was the last find in the series for AngelG27 and the second for me. We were looking for something a lot smaller, so something out of place was spotted pretty quickly. Hopefully I can come back and finish this series soon. TFTC

Cache 2764 on 20/8/17
Headed out again on a fantastic Sunday afternoon with Sleepy Snowleopard to grab some caches , including a few puzzles she had solved! I got 8/8 for the afternoon and she found 10/10, including her first multi and picking up for first TB.
This is the last of this series for me , so glad to make a quick find at GZ - it was bigger than expected !!
Thanks specimenX for the cache!

Found with Decrypter. We had noticed that this one had been replaced since our DNF some time ago. Today we decided to go for this one. The wind was icy and there was slight rain, but once at GZ D soon had CIH. Nice to change the blue sad face to a sunny smiley. TFTC.
Trodectus and I spent quite some fruitless time looking for this when it was actually missing.
Trodectus noticed that it was back again so we thought, lets give it a go.
We made a quick find. This looks like a favourite sit around and have a drink spot (beer cans evident).
So we were careful to cover this better than we found it to reduce the chance that it goes missing again.
Thanks For The Cache specimenX

I've got a plan to reach my 8000th find by the 29th but having another 300 to find i needed a couple of weekends in rich caching grounds. Just my luck that i chose to go to Canberra before seeing the temperature forecast!
I only had a few caches left to find on the way down, but once i got there, i hast plenty to choose from. Only the cold slowed me down.
In the end i managed to get 59.
Thanks for the cache.

Out on a cache run with Youban on a chilly, frosty morning. Big container, but forgot my swaps. Oops. Tftc specimenX!!!
Accurate coordinates led to a quick find of a well cammoed container. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks specimenX for the cache.
I take my dog drive around to Casey Park and few find caches.. Beautiful full sunny..
Hide well.. Thanks
Hide well.. Thanks
I had to drop my daughter off at a friend's place nearby and had the folding bike in the back of the car, so a little ride along Mirrabei Drive seemed the wise thing to do.
After finding 1 to 3, it made sense to do this one before finding the others on the opposite side of the creek. An easy find of a nice container. TFTC

Nice to see this one replaced and ready to find. JF had fun in the nearby stream. TFTC specimenX
Saturday 10 September 2016 - rugged up for an overcast windy wet and cold Spring day walk for 3hrs. Found 11 from 11 caches after enjoying the country side within suburbia. Loved the Meandering Mirrabei series as they were each unquie and somewhat challenging to locate. Thx muggle husband. TFTC specimanX.
Found with The Matetrix. Go for a swim, head out for a few caches, collect the shopping, go home for lunch. Becoming a regularly Saturday morning 'thing'. TNLNSL TFTC
What a day!! Nine caches, and a bit of caching adventure. I've only just realised that this cache was part of the adventure. It's an absolutely beautiful late winter's day in Canberra. Sunny, cool, a little breeze, just right for a walk and a caching arvo. My friend Jen is crook, as is one of her kids, so I've got her GeoCavoodles Buzz and Boo with me for a walk, together with the famed GeoSchnauzers. I've been here before looking for these caches, and at that time I declined to search for them as they were all on the other side of the creek, er, drain, which at that time was running a banker. Today we stopped, and I had a look at the creek, and decided we could cross it easily, so today is the day for this series.
I was very surprised when I got here - there's a suburb across the creek, where previously it was bush and old pasture. I'm pretty sure I had found two or three caches further up the creek, after crossing it and sloshing through mud. If so, they are gone now, bulldozed into a suburb, and more caches - Broadview series. Anyway, out we hop, and I set off to cross the creek for the first cache. Funny, I could have sworn it was across the creek - I distinctly remember not being able to get to it last time. Oh well, follow the GPS. Hmmm. No way was it here last time, says I to myself and a pack of gambolling dogs. Never mind. Regular size, eh? Must be under there. No?? No, it's not. OK, rummage, poke, search, no luck. Call the dogs back from near the road. Good dogs!! They are getting bored with this search. Never mind, broaden the search. Ahh, here it is, 10 metres or so from GZ. Bit unusual for Specimen X. Will I point out the discrepancy? Nah, adds to the challenge. I never worry about a mere 10 meters.
Thanks for the cache, Speccy. Story continues at #6 (the DNF log) of the series, to see why I mention the 10 metres.

After dropping my boarder off at Jolimont for an early morning bus trip to Sydney, I had a few hours to fill in before collecting ZQX for a morning caching in the Namadgi, so I took the opportunity to find some North Canberra caches that have recently been enabled or placed. A quick find here. TFTC.

10:05pm 18/7 - another late excursion to grab our daily cache. This was a little creepy to be wandering around at night. Nice camo. Took the two trackables and the pathtag.

Dropped by this one on a cache maintenance run with ZimbaW and the Ridgeo-pup
This one was indeed missing
. Have replaced with a new one in a different spot. Please replace well with lots of natural camo 
TB drop.
Cache on folks!

F(H)ound It! No.1181 - @4:34:00 PM
Enjoyed the trail and the caches. A nice relaxing stroll with the Rigeo-pup along the bike path and surrounds. Thanks for the cache, and a great day out, specimenX
Dropped off a trackable.

As we were in the area, D and I had a quick look for this one, but to no avail. We did find a spot where there was the word 'under' but there was a hole in front of it. Lots of empty beer bottles around, so this could be a favourite muggle place.
So looked under just about every tree in the area and rock no joy maybe not here??
Didn't find it and we looked under pretty much everything maybe not here anymore
No joy for us this afternoon, although we did find the remains of our cache we had placed here about 7 years ago.
Still sitting in the corner of the Telstra structure.
Hope it comes online again soon.

I spent a good 10 minutes looking around this evening but failed to find the cache.
As we came by this way today, we had just time for one cache in the area. We will come back and do the others another time. It is amazing to see the construction and infrastructure of the roads and area being built around here. Thanks specimenX for replacing the cache. We were the first to sign the new log today, and the cache was safe and dry.

Swung by this one on a cache maintenance run.
Yep..cache was muggled. Seems like a lot of ammo cans are going missing in the ACT lately...
Anyway, new cache in place (NOT an ammo can this time). Left pathtag and a TB.
Cache on folks!
