**If a cache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance, it will not be unarchived.**

I cannot see any information that indicates the CO has taken steps to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement.

Therefore the cache is being Archived to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

**Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.**

This is explained in the Help Center article [here](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56).

This one needs maintenance to check if it is still there. Will attend to it soon.

No find

Clues led to nothing

No luck here was nothing to see

No luck here today. There was really only one place that fitted the hint, and that cupboard was bare. Our thanks anyway to Chrisval7.

Got the power.

Found while out hunting traditionals in the Eden Valley area.
Thanks for the cache Chrisval7

Cute find

Quick find. We like the alternative container. Tftc.

Great clues. May need a replacement paper soon. Too many people having fun

Our last find today on our Barossa drive, well on our way back home. This cache happens to be roadside, so a quick park a look later we had the cache in our hands. We also made friends with about a dozen cattle, who were showing keen interest in geocaching activities TNLNSL TFTC

Ttc. Rock On! Left swappable.

Quick find here with a cool hint.
Nice views...
TNLNSL
Thanks

I'm having a strange sense of deja vu at this site. Not sure why. TFTC

The clue "power" was most helpful.

Quick easy find with Beary Organised on first day of Caching holiday in the Barossa. TFTC TNLNSL

Found it with CherryRose on our way to the Barossa for a few days caching. TFTC TNLNSL

Quick find with the hint

Easy find.... TFTC

Hmm, this took us a while to 'power' find this cache!

Nice find. Thanks for the cache.

Out for a day caching in a new area, we saw old ruins, forests, kite flying, kangaroos & roaming sheep. We sat and enjoy a cuppa or two and a chat about all things geocaching. Great day seeing an uncached part of the state.

Found by The Boofs TFTC . Yes this one rocks!! A colony of ants had decided to use the cache as a home.

I have checked the status of this cache and it is still there, so all is good

We had another cow watching us at this cache, albeit a cow on a derelict sign.

We pick up on this type of hide quite quickly these days. It's nice to know they only fool non-geocachers.

Thanks Chrisval7.

An easy find

Staying at Mount Pleasant van park and on our way to visit Chrisval7 so we had to do these caches along the way. Thanks Chris & Val.

Two Norwegian travellers on vacation/geocaching in Australia. Travelling by car from Brisbane to Adelaide with stops in interesting and not so interesting places. Started with the Sunshine Coast to warm us up and since then when travelling to the south and west the weather have not been so good as we hoped. Lots of wind and rain with only a few sunny days in between. Left Hahndorf this morning and Arrived Clare today in sunny weather. Have logged a few caches on the way to Clare.
Nice view. #6 today.

Good fun, successful caching day.
TFTC Chrisval7

found it

A day off work and we decided to have a drive around springton and adjacent areas picking up some caches along the way, some spectacular scenery and views along the way, great to see a few of the sights and hidden gems that we normally miss as we sail through town on the way to the Barossa. TFTC Chrisval7

Found at 11:00 AM with XBRmob. Wandered around a bit until we re-read the hint. Then the light went on and the clever cache was soon in hand.
TFTC

On our way home from the Masters Games in Murray Bridge. Found this tricky cache. TFTC

Love it, great cammo!

Great cache

On our way to Barossa. Great to get out and stretch our legs and do a bit of geocaching while we are at it. TFTC

Quick find while in the area today with Sydneykiwi Tftc

I was on a trip to the Barossa with my Dad today and we travelled via Springton.

It was a lovely day to be out and about.

TFTC Chrisval7

Second attempt at this one, but with an additional hint from the owner, it was a quick easy find. Love it. Thanks ChrisVal7

A quick stop on our way home from Mannum today.Thanks for the Cache

One of the_xtrailers and I headed to Nuriootpa for the day to collect some badges and geo-supplies. Of course some cache hunting was a must too. On our way home now and very close to my goal for the day. A nice quick find as the wind picks up and becoming very chilly. TFTC Chrisval7

nice easy find overlooking lovely country side. Today was too cold and windy to stop and admire it for too long

Out for the day with Debandy trying to rain in the out of control cache problem around the Birdwood / Mt Crawford area. Many excellent cache were found , a great deal of walking was done and much happiness was had.

Thanks for the cache!

Spent the day out caching with Cows With Guns. Our legs got a good workout with all the walking we did today. Many interesting caches were found today, Thanks for the cache.

Nice find on the way to the Lavender Trail

A trip to Adelaide for a wedding saw me packing up my geocaching supplies in hope that I may be able to convince geo-hubby that he should come out with me (he hasn't been keen in the past!)... I did not say anything about it on the way, knowing that he wanted to get to town asap to spend some man time with the groom. Lo and behold he brought it up only an hour or so into the trip, wondering if there would be "any geocaches in this area". Obviously didn't realise just how many have been hidden! Didn't take me long to whip out the GPS and choose a couple to find, larger ones to hopefully keep him interested!It must have worked and put some enthusiasm into the geo-hubby! We ended up with a weekend FULL of geocaching on our way over and back and all weekend through the beautiful Barossa! And what a great weekend it was! Found in the dark, and we were found as well by some friendly milk produces! TNLNSL, TFTC!

Gawler to Mount Pleasant. Staying at the caravan Park / Showgrounds
Its a wet & overcast day, we started our morning caching around Springton. A variety of caches found which gives you a nice tour of the town.
Thanks for placing this cache Chrisval7

Furrangel and I decided to go for a bit of a drive today.. Brilliant weather so who could say no

Was great to have some caches on the way to break up the drive

Beautiful views around here this time of year... so much colour

Couple of Queenslanders & Geodog Sammy travelling around Oz & visiting with good friends in down town Springton. TFTC

Out this way for orienteering and made a quick stop to find a cache.

Thanks for the stop and views Chrisval.

Found It!
I had always avoided caching in Springton due to the large percentage of Premium Member only caches but then last week I noticed that was no longer the case so, time to go caching in Springton! But there was still a couple left. I can't see the description so I'm not sure what the significance of this spot is but nice views I guess...
TFTC anway

More great views of the rolling hills TFTC

Yet more views to admire on our way home. TFTC

A quick find on our way from Mannum to Clare on our three week caching holiday on the big island. This is a busy road! TFTC

Found with auzzie convict tftc

Tftc found with polkys quest

Decided to grab another cache although time was short and still got a few hours to travel. Thanks

Nice views.
-------------------------------------------------------------
This cache was found using a Garmin Montana 650t. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

After a day on the fire crew at Collingrove Hillclimb, time to grab some caches on the way home in between the rain showers and before the storms hit. TFTC.

Found it on my way to Angaston is the drizzling rain. Got my feet wet looking elsewhere before finding the cache. TFTC Chrisval7

Found on my way back home from a trip up to the riverland, enjoying the detour around the backroads of Springton to locate the nearby cluster of caches. Thanks for the cache Chrisval7!

Heading through to get a nemesis cache of my list near Keyneton we stopped and grabbed a few caches along the way, as a owner of a lot of this type of cache hide i spotted it straight away, the ants that turned it into a home didn't like being evicted from it. TFTC

A DNF from me despite a good search. Hopefully it was just me.

Another cache found on a trip to Barossa. TFTC

Having lucked out on the last cache I hoped that I had better luck with this cache.
Nice surprise finding a slightly bigger cache than expected
Had just put my hands on it, when a car arrived at the intersection near where I parked the car.
Not looking to see if they could see me, I hoped the tree provided enough camouflaged to hide my maroon jacket
Walking back to the car, another car pulls up from the opposite direction.
There was no-one here when I parked!!
Thanks for the cache Chrisval7.

Haha didnt even really need the clue :p

Tftc !

Still leisurely touring South Australia after the Mega

After a late night enjoying our campfire at our camp at Mt Crawford today we agreed on a relaxing day with some park n grabs. Some great views and some lovely historic sites.

The hint had no relevance to the cache for us. not sure if the cache has moved somewhat.

TFTC Chrisval7 and helping us to explore such a lovely area. [^]

Out on a day trip, found and moved on.

Gayle minus Mark

Earthlight and The X-Trailers let out a simultaneous cry of "Found it!", each unearthing a cache. It seems that the original cache was found, safe and sound, so the two caches were consolidated and the replacement will find a new home as a cache elsewhere. Does that mean the team gets to log two founds for this cache?

A group assault found 2 caches here today.
Gwen[my twin and a member of the x-trailers] and I both shouted we had found the cache at the same time but in 2 different spots.
Jenny[Dr Owl and Gayle from Flipper&co] both laughed.
We consolidated the caches into the original[by log bk dates] and headed off to our next cache.
Will find a spot to place a cache with the other.
TFTC

Found while out caching with Dr.Owl ,Flipper and Co. and my twin sister, Earthlight
Parking the car across the road we all headed towards ground zero
Twin caches were found by twins
We all laughed as I called out' found it" at the same time earthlight also called out "I found it '
we seem to have the habit of saying the same thing at the same time a lot over the years
After checking the date in the two log books we placed both into the cache which was dated the oldest
We all headed back to the car laughing
Thanks for a fun cache even if it was not intended to be

Found as a part of TheKellyGang, writing this as a genaric log as I was a part of TheKellyGang and am now out on my own.
If you do not agree with this you are more than welcome to delete the log.

Well hidden, yet, out in the open. A clever camo.

TFTC Chrisval7

Found. TFTC.

Camped at Mount Pleasant showgrounds, to cache around the area.
Being a lovely sunny day, we took a drive along country roads & visited some nearby towns.
This cache was found quickly, and in good condition.
Many thanks for the hunt today, Chrisval7.

Nice Camo..quick find today on our impromptu caching afternoon!.. TFTC

Travelling south for a few days away

Finally, Oz Mega 2014 was done and dusted, and we pointed the bullbar northwards. We decided not to take the freeway to Adelaide, but to take a more inland route towards the Barossa Valley.

Cheers

Found whilst attending the Oz Mega Event. After setting up the camp and meeting & greeting old friends and new. Decided caching was in order. Great cache. TFTC

Spending Good Friday out geocaching. Its good to see the area recovering from the bushfires during January. Everythings greening up nicely & the only signs of fires are the scorched or burnt out trees.

An easy find. Loved the hint, it made me laugh as it was clever. SL Find #1998 TNLN TFTC

Geodad found this one quickly found on the way to Oz Mega then back on the road, looking forward to a Great time at Murray Bridge cant wait to meet other families and cacher's. TFTC

#1955 - 08:45; Day 4 of Sol de Lune and LuckyL10n's great big SA Road Trip was off to another early start as we headed off from Tailem Bend towards Nuriootpa to try for the 50 power trail, then on towards Eudunda for the Tour de France trail. We decided to pick up a few caches while we headed down the road for what we hoped would be another 100 plus cache day and this was one of them. TFTC Chrisval7

Day four of the LuckyL10n / Sol de lune road trip...

On a run from Tailem Bend to Nurioopta for the 50 and then the TdF series today and managed a few caches along the way.

Thanks for the fun with this one......
