This has not been found since April 2016. There have been 2 Needs Maintenance Logs. The CO has not found anything for almost 2 years and was last on-line in June 2015. It seems the CO is no longer playing. The site could be freed up for another hide.
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.

Day 13 of our SA holiday. Time for Robmc and me to visit historic Wallaroo and see if we can find some caches. Well yes we did, and a few DNF's before we got wise and went to get lunch. Lunch-time was the time to check every potential unfound cache and see whether they were worth visiting or whether they were missing. Well, that narrowed things down a bit. And still we were unsuccessful at some. We must try harder.
Just another DNF in a long line of DNF's over the last 12 months. Time for Maintenance or Archiving.

Definately needs someone to check out if it is actually still there or is it AWOL?????
Tried to do this one the day before but there were workmen with surveying equipment right at GZ so had to abort. Came back after work today to give it another try and although I had the area to myself I still had no luck in finding it. Perhaps it is not there???????
Oops, place is closed off for work on the jetty, could see where cache was but fenced off
We couldn't have picked a worse day to do this as it was the day after the terrible storms. Everyone was there to see the wrecked swimming area and jetty. So many mugglers but we had a good look in between and didn't come up with anything. Has it been washed away in the storm or were we just not looking in the right place.
Surprisingly this was a quick find which was good because it just started to rain.

Staying at Wallaroo for the weekend with The Travellinbees and Getnict. After setting up camp in the Caravan Park we went down to the foreshore for a feed of fish and chips, after which, we had to grab this one as it was only 70m away.....took a little while to locate in the dark, but Meggs eventually made the find.

After having dinner nearby went off to find this smiley. Was a little difficult to find in the dark but Meggs came up with the goods. On a weekend away with SnappyTomCats and theTravellinbees, signed as GetTomBees. TFTC
Found on a beautiful day caching around Wallaroo. Enjoyed an early (and very large) breakfast at a local cafe and then spent a couple more hours making some finds around the area
We had a brief look for this one but felt uncomfortable with so many muggles enjoying the alfresco eating at the nearby cafe. If we get another chance while in the area we will have a look 'out of hours'
Thanks anyway Clumsy Princess. [^]

We arrived at Wallaroo around midday and it was already bustling with activity. After heading out to the jetty and passing the dozens of anglers, we strolled back and had a quick look for this cache never expecting to find it. Incredibly, it was in the first place we looked Used a nearby bench to sign and replaced it quickly. TNLNSL TFTC
Stopping for lunch nearby we grabbed this one with Just Cruzen but had too wait after wimming lessons to replace TFTC Clumsy Princess

Found the cache (well Morrisminor72 did), but couldn't see any sign of a weapon. We were hoping to figure out what to look out for. Never mind, will keep on trying. TFTC.

On another family adventure this time we headed to the copper triangle. First stop was wallaroo jetty to stretch the legs after the drive.
Finding the cache was not that hard but retrieving it took a little work with various tools.

Staying in Wallaroo for a couple of days and trying to find some caches in between bouts of wild, windy weather. Sneaky hide,this one. TFTC
Found It!
I've been to this cache a few times now but it has always been packed out with people. Today on my way home from the June LWE event after getting off the ferry I went for a drive around here and found the cache!
And I have now finished the Cluedo series!

Today we are heading to the copper triangle to do some caches, we managed around 120 caches over the 2 days we spent here and we saw some fantastic scenery along the way, being the geowifes early childhood stomping grounds i was treated to a lot of history about quite a few of the areas and how much things have changed over time, this is day 1 and now earthlight and the x trailers are now heading back to their camp we continue caching, what a sneaky hide this one is. TFTC
We love caching around the YP and with the mild weather we enjoyed the opportunity to find this cache. A variety of hides kept us challenged and we spent time taking in the beautiful scenery and the changes that had taken place since our last visit. Nice one. Thanks to Clumsy Princess.
Our 7th DNF today.
[red]We spent quite some time here at around 10:48:00 AM, but we couldn't locate the cache.
Another DNF for this series , is it still active[?]

No one but us on the seat today and with a lot of wriggling and jiggling we could see the cache. Thank goodness for First Aid kit size tweezers. Thanks.
Spotted the cache location quickly but it took us a good 10 minutes to retrieve the cache. In the end we achieved success using a grabber claw tool geotween had been given for Christmas. She was stoked she was able to use her new gadget for the first time...and successfully too! TFTC
Found replacement cache site quite easily today, no muggles close by. It took a bit longer to retrieve as it is in a good hidey spot. Thanks Clumsy Princess for the series,all done now.And thanks Astro for the replacement.
Muggle central today. People everywhere,even had a group sitting on the lawn a metre from GZ. So will return at a later time Thanks.
This cache has a temporary cache in place as the original has grown legs and wandered off. I will delete this log when cache is replaced, but for those who require the clues, Mustard wielded a spanner and E=5.
Sorry for any inconvenience. I am endeavouring to rectify the situation!

A tour of the area found us roll up at this spot! Thanks for the fun
An email to the owner has been sent so the cache was replaced as stated in last log Unfortunately the lack of this clue meant I was unable to calculate the final............ I tried but no success.
Clear skies to Clumsy Princess from TeamAstro.
No luck for us here today. We had an idea from previous loggers that this one might be missing and that seems to be the status quo.
