One or more of the following has occurred:
No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

7.15. Archive or unarchive a geocache
Archiving a geocache is meant to be a permanent action. Only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ can unarchive caches. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if the cache meets the current geocaching guidelines.

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

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###

----------

G'day there jassie45784,

It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is an issue.

The cache has been temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s can be addressed.

**You do need to respond 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 and repair and/or 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 (unfortunately), 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.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) 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 ensure you visit the page and post a note 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 those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when a Reviewer next looks at the cache page, it is likely that they will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) on the basis that it has been abandoned.

Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

**JUST A TIP:-** Have you checked out the Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own? Have a read about it [**HERE.**](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/07/welcome-to-the-cache-owner-dashboard/?newsletter=PM) You will find your very own dash board [**HERE**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner?utm_source=geocaching&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=COD).

Thanks for your cooperation,

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

string of dnf's. No finds in 14 months. needs a co check

What a magnificent place [^]! We'll have to remember to add this to our camping list .
As to be expected, the place was overrun with campers, with more arriving when we visited .
Checked out GZ as best we were able to, but couldn't find the cache today [B)].
We'll keep watch and return when the place is quieter after someone else finds it, before returning again .
Thanks anyway Jassie45784.

We came, checked out the campsite. Looks like a great place to camp, but no cache at the moment.

Did not find. Lake is all dry now, for a long time now, probably never to be full again. Sad. ️

I’m in isolation right now but will check on it and replace it as soon as I get the all clear. Thanks guys!

No sign of the cache at GC. Sorry.
Very low water at the moment so not any muggles.
Great free camping area though.

Great little find on our Mundulla-Padthaway Sunday drive. Not much water around. Hopefully next summer will see skiers.

New piece of paper added. TY

Fount it .

Container was water damaged and log book was destroyed and we where unable to fill it in. TFTC.

Unfortunately was not able to leave our name as paper is a bit wet. Good spot though. TFTC!

Should have headed North East to the South East of Queen's Landing this weekend, but a while ago had a premonition... which came true so had booked the South East of SA instead

Still plenty to find down here, and good weather for it too.

A cache that brought us to a place we may otherwise have missed completely!

A surprising number of caravans here, by an almost empty lake. We wondered if they were here for the peace and tranquility, or to shoot the heck out of daffy in the morning. Didn't stay to find out

Much thanks to jassie45784 for placing and maintaining this cache


"A cache a day keeps the doctor away" - keeping up with Purrfect Di and Jack should do it ! ! !



------------


- - Search at a good social distance whenever you can - or at least with nice clean friends - -
Things are slowly getting back to whatever normal might be - take it carefully!
Catching covid or gastro or anything really would mess up your streaks and challenges!
Keep away from all the nasty bugs ( except nice travel bugs of course )
[|)] - 2, 4, 6, 8,,, let's all go and vaccinate, one day when it's available lol !
[|)] - keep away from crowds as much as you can, they spread the nasty bugs! [:o)]
[|)] - go out and find or place some new caches in our safe country areas away from the red zones

Life's good. Enjoy ! ! ! Just do it

Tftc

nice day for it, TFTC

After four days in the southeast and Coorong earlier in the week, I returned with FeatherWaite for an extended weekend of caching in the area.

We traveled down the Coorong through Kingston and across to Millicent, then cached around Millicent and attended the events. On the second day we toured around Tantanoola before making our way up to Naracoorte for the evening.

We camped out near Millicent on the first night and at Cockatoo Lake, north of Narracoorte on the second.

On the final day we headed up to Mundulla, Bordertown and Keith, then through Ngarkat to Lameroo before heading for home.

Thanks Jassie45784 for the cache.

Found during a camping trip to the Southeast with e.gregory. We traveled down the Coorong through Kingston and Beachport and across to Millicent, then followed the arrow around Millicent finding caches and attending the events. On the second day we toured around Tantanoola before making our way up to Naracoorte for the evening. We camped out near Millicent on the first night and at Cockatoo Lake on the second. There were people asleep in a van less than 10 metres from the cache, so had to tip-toe to the cache for the search and retrieval in the half light before the sun came up! On the final day we headed up to Mundulla, Bordertown and Keith, then through Ngarkat to Lameroo before heading for home. Thanks for the cache Jassie45784!

Mr Tardis was driving down to Millicent for the weekend. I made a detour via here to find this cache. I found the cache in the first place I looked - don't you just love it when that happens?

Fortunately the campers were on the other side of the fence so no muggle problems today.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Jassie45784.

After coming to cockatoo lake hoping to do some yabbying but finding the water to low. Great to be able to do some geocaching. Thank you.

Always good to come back and clean up a previous DNF. #NLAMT.

Thanks for the cache jassie45784.
Found on 7/10/20 at 15:34.
Find #12031.

Took a detour off main road with LíB and The X-Trailers. Glad we did. A fav point and great camping spot. TFTC

Although this was not on our list to do decided to detour to this cache and check out a lovely camping spot at the same time
Tftc

Headed to Millicent for the long weekend with earthlight and The X-Trailers.
Stopping along the way to find caches. A very quiet area and thanks to your placement we made the time to stop. Never knew this location existed, a lovely quiet place to camp
Cache found easily

TFTC Jassie45784

Lake is low but still nice for a kayak tftc

Found it! Beautiful day today for looking for caches . Thanks

This evening o decided to try and cover as much distance as I could towards the south east for the weekend, with the swag in the car this looked like a nice spot to pull in the evening.

Arrived here and only a camper was here so made my own little spot for the night. After setting up camp I made the short 30m walk to the cache and made the quick find.

Thanks for the cache

Beautiful spot!

All done! TFTC =)

Found it this time. TFTC

Quuck find, nice spot. Cheers

Trying to keep out of trouble and its certainly quiet out this way. Staying at a bush camp north of Naracoorte and later at a camp south of Penola. This was a cache we found fun finding. Loved the location and has marked it as somewhere where we would like to camp in our caravan. The lake was so tranquil and there were a few caravanners enjoying the area. Fav point alloc. Our thanks to jassie45784 for placing this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Today I was on my way back to Adelaide from the south-east cave diving around the Mount Gambier / Millicent area. I did a morning deep dive, and then my dive buddy and I went into town to have an enjoyable lunch, before then driving back and geocaching along the way.

I had eyed off this cache numerous times during my drive along the Riddoch Highway to the south-east, and there was still some light about, that I thought I could just sneak in a visit to this location. It was a really cool spot, and despite the end of the long weekend, it was still busy with campers and caravans. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. I do wonder how long this throwdown cache will last, since it isn't too far from the main camping common area. Thanks Jassie45784 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

What is the hardest part when making skim milk. Throwing the cow across the lake.

TFTC lots of campers here today on this long weekend. Can’t see anyone skimming cows

Good hide made us work for it and have patience.

Not putting my hand inside a log.

What a fantastic spot. Today there was two caravans, one did not have a car near it and the other was parked so far away from the cache they could not see what we were doing. Thanks to Beaker for replacing this cache. SL TFTC

Since this has been replaced AGAIN recently, thought I'd detour to grab the smiley before it disappears again...
Certainly a lesson in persistence here!
The place is chockers with holiday makers, but still able to pull up at GZ for a quick find of the replacement under cover of darkness.
Woukd strongly suggest moving GZ away from the camping areas, particularly this really busy spot.
TNLNSL
Thanks

Replaced cache in obvious spot with Eclipse tin.
Didn't have plastic bag, but hid well into the cache keeper.

DNF.... we poked, prodded, walked round and round, laid on the ground, used a torch.... then gave up..
Cocky Lake is a great place to spend a couple nights.

Searched long, but unsuccessful...

15 minuten gezocht maar helaas niet kunnen vinden. Wel een fantastische plek om te kamperen!

A difficult cashe to retrieve because there is always someone around. Tftc.

Found this one last week on the way to Adelaide but couldn't log it as someone was camped at GZ. Thought I'd try again on the return trip today and success - no muggles! Swapped some goodies for the geokids. This is a fantastic spot! TFTC

Risked looking a little stupid with many people around due to the warmer weather. Oh well. Still found it

Found It!
I came here last year but the park was packed full of people. Today I came back and there was still a few caravans set up here. But thankfully they were no where near the cache so I quickly found it without anyone watching!
TFTC

Heading back home following a successful GeoVenture organisation weekend in Millicent with Freddo...
A few people at the lake today but managed to be stealthful and used decoy methods to successfully retrieve the cache...
Such a beautiful place...
Thanks jassie45784

Found this time. Woot.

Night one of a few nights away, what a great place. SL TFTC

A beautiful spot

This was a bonus cache for us today. We are dropping the hound off for one of his twice yearly holidays at the farm in Naracoorte. Swung by here and made a quick easy find every other time we have looked for a cache here it has been missing so great to finally have a cocky cache found. I think some kids have found it as there was a non caching log in the book, hope this one survives. No one here today just ducks

Catching up on some late logs
On our way to Portland after a few weeks away enjoying the sun a bit further north.
We entered the gate and go a feeling of de-ja-vue, the further went the stronger the feeling so we had a quick check and found out last visit was also in August but back in 2013.
As we nearer to GZ we were wondering why there would be campers here in this weather but there was. They were trying to dry out their stuff from last night rain and were not interested in us at all.
At GZ we totally out of site and made a nice easy find and added our name to the replaced log book
Many thanks Jassie45784 for the cache and bringing us back here.

Was here about 5 months ago for a big DNF. So seeing that it had recently been replaced and having to come to Naracoorte one again I made the same detour on the way home. Today the gate was close and there was nobody camping. Something to do with the last week of non-stop rain. Even the paddocks on the way here had their own lakes. This lake was of course full and the breeze was making waves almost big enough to surf on! [B)]
This time the cache was in the very first place I looked.

**Thanks jassie45784 for this cache. **

Re-replaced

Its so disappointing to go all the way out and not find the cache. We looked for ages without luck.

Found

found good hide

No water skiers but would be a great spot too camp

Placed a temporary container in the geocaches place. Was great to meet another geocacher who was camping basically on the geolocation!

Hi everyone! Sorry about the cache missing! Thanks for posting a DNF to let me and others know though! I’ll replace it hopefully by Easter Day. Have a good Easter!

After yet another visit to Naracoorte I had Anymules with me. He had cleared out loads of caches that I had previously found on one of my earlier visits. The main highway was clear of caches and I had only two that I could target for the trip home. Bother required detours and I chose this one.[B)] Doh. A few caravans were in the area but couldn't see anybody about. Nobody near GZ so we had a very long look and explored every nook and cranny. Nada. will have to watch and see.


**Thanks jassie45784 for the search anyway. **

No locals today so was able to have a proper search. Looked and looked and looked with Brisal5. No cache could be seen.

With a bunch of DNFs, can the CO please check that this one is still in place?

Could not find as there were locals sitting on the geozone! We will have to get it another time.

Lovely spot but too many muggles se did not search

Finally

Tried. Too many around

Staying with some friends in Padthaway and we came to Cockatoo Lake for the afternoon. Quick find by our friend. Hello from Calgary, Canada and happy new year! TFTC.

found it coordinates a little out but tftc

This was on CPs list of caches to grab so off we went for a drive.
The nearby shelter made a great cover, but not many people were here.
What a great spot, very tempting to go for a dip.
Thanks for bringing us here Jassie45784, a favourite.

What a lovely spot .... had no idea this was here!!!! Found on a SE wander with clare007!! A very warm day but certainly worth the drive out here! ....... a favourite!

I saw this one come out, and thought about going for a FTF but put it off for another day. Well today is the day.
Thanks for sharing this location

Well there it is.

Found in the first place I checked in the wet when I was here ##FIRST!## Well I got it this time. A great spot with a few seriously set up experienced campers on the wallaby.

Found as part of my 2017 Alexandra Mega experience. This cache added to the fun and enjoyment of my trek to the east and back from Adelaide. While there were a few thunder storms, there were mainly clear skies and I never saw a snake!

Thanks to jassie45784 and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

Tfgc jas.

Nice relaxing area, lots of water activities today. Hopefully found right container,TFTC

Didn't find it in the time allowed.

Checked cache location to discover that the container has gone missing. Have replaced the container with a temporary one until a new one is made.

Along with Freddo and Team Waldron I spent a fun weekend in the South East area finding many interesting and some challenging caches.
Unfortunately this was not one of our finds despite quite a good search
Cheers & TFTC jassie45784

Twenty minutes of our lives we will not get back. Nice lake.

No luck for us here.

Pwned like a n00b.

Spent about 10 mins poking around in a down pour. All I ended up with was lots of wet spots.

Here’s for clear skies soon.

You are only as good as your next find.
