An action had been taken on this cache because of one of the following -

The area is now not available to the general public

Please remember to return to the GZ and collect the cache or Check it has been removed if you have not already done so.

We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash and if you have any TB's or coins in your cache I'm sure the owners would want them moved on.

This cache has now been taken off my watchlist and I will not see any notes you leave on the cache page from today

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep 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Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.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](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.
 
08-Jun-23
GZ/cache is now in a fenced off area due to construction and not accessible without permission. As per the Guidelines this cache currently does not meet the criteria. Would be encouraged to relocate the cache to a nearby location and/or disable until construction is complete.
 
08-Jun-23
Clocking up cache finds for the June Wheel of Challenges, plus getting my daily cache.

GZ is now closed off and not accessible without permission. Whilst some may be sneaky to get a cache, it should not be encouraged and we doubt Geocache HQ or Geocache reviewers would approve.

....I used stealth, determination and awareness that I have Geo-goals to reach Don't use me as setting an example, as it was an exception not the rule

Sneaky sneaky past the fence at 0700 on a Sunday let me get to this one. Lucky to early for anyone to be around. Few spiders, but the cache is still there. Not sure if it will survive the construction, lots more debris now around GZ.

A fence has gone up around GZ, but the construction hasn’t started yet. I took advantage of the fence being incomplete, but this one might be unavailable for a period of time soon. Thanks for the hide emma1478.

#16706 - 10:20:00 AM; Returned to South Australia yesterday accompanied by Sol de lune to retrieve the geomobile, which had been in dry dock in Victor Harbour since my previous visit. Now back in action, and after spending the night in Adelaide, we set off this morning headed to Mildura in the reinvigorated geomobile. As we headed out of Adelaide, we decided to add a few counties to our tally. This saw us weaving our way through different parts of the city collecting caches like this one as we went. All were found in good order and returned as found after we had signed the logs. TFTC emma1478 Smile
 
01-Nov-22
In Adelaide with LuckyL10n to pickup a car and driving back to Canberra...and of course that also meant grabbing a few caches. We concentrated on the counties we hadn't been to before, ensuring we grabbed one or two to cross it off the unfound list.

No problems with the ones we decided on, and our names were soon in the logs.

Thanks emma1478...

Great Northern escape 2022 Day 177. Blackwood Day 1. I was able to spend the morning caching down the western side of Adelaide and visit the Oakland wetlands before heading into town to do an important collection task before returning home for the day.

This poor old tree has seen better days, I had to dig through lots of old concrete to get down to the cache, but it was dry and bug free inside, despite all the life on the outside.

Thanks for the cache emma1478

I started 2020 with some improbable caching goals that only lasted until mid February. Red Face
With so few caches within 20 kms of home they are now to just complete the Calendar to have found both a mystery and a multicache on every day. Should be able to do one probably not both. [^]

Today I needed to find a multicache. Cool But it was also a Wednesday Wander for members of the Befuddled Puzzle Solving Group and we had plenty of recently solved puzzles to go and search for. We also wanted to do quite a few Lab Caches to be able to solve a few of the associated puzzles. Also wanted to do some more in the TOTT series. It was going to be a big big day for myself, Anymules, SA Sewer Rats and Blackadders. Cool

A quick find for just me whilst we were in the area. Smile

A quick find actually upon approach to GZ. A nice area, and muggle-free today with the dampness and rain about.

Overall, this geocache needs some TLC maintenance. The container isn't too bad, but it has no lid. The plastic bag is barely protective, as it is quite torn apart. The logbook is also pretty scrappy, so would be nice to look at replacing this one also.

The difficulty is probably also a little overrated for what it is. Thanks nonetheless emma1478, cheers.
