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.

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.

Should you like to resurrect the cache please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

From https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56

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.

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.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email or message centre) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Couldn’t find it.

Could not find anything

We drove in here, because this cache is on our very-old-list. But no activity in almost a year? Impossible we think! Had a good look around, but nothing to be found. Maybe there is a new farm owner? Seems there have been some replacements already and it keeps disappearing.
TFTC

One of the nearby fences is electrified so careful. Eclipse mint tin.

Found on a slight diversion while driving from Darwin to Katherine today.

This cache was specifically targeted to fill a missing month on my hidden date calendar.

Thanks SNAFUADV for the cache.

Find 1749
Made the right call as to the direction to GZ. A nice park and GPS had me going to a likely spot. Yes there it is.
Log signed and all back safe again.
Thanks and now for a swim at Berry Springs.

Found on our mini geo tour today while in Darwin for work. Left a pathtag. I think it’s great that these geo’s are scattered everywhere to give us something to do on our days off. TFTC

Returning from a wonderful few days exploring Litchfield NP, we decided to find this cache. Well, we must have taken the correct route as we drove right up the cache location without a hitch. Quick find. TFTC

Our plans for the long weekend were suddenly derailed when geohubby was asked to work, so I decided to go for a drive in the country and try and mop up some outstanding caches. Having sussed out a suitable route this was a nice quick find and everything was in good order. No muggles on the road today. Thanks for the cache snafuadv

It would seem today was not our day, with every owner in the area deciding to drive up and mill around as we considered a sneaky look, plus the grass was up making visibility difficult.

Next time

Thanks for the quick driveby!

Nice easy cache. Nice area with hot springs etc nearby. There is a split in the road (creek) and depending on which way you get here, you may have to drive around the long block. Also nice pub nearby. Litchfield (Adelaide river). Worth a visiting. TCTF

Quick find, TFTC

Today we really excelled ourselves in distance travelled, lol! Moved from Batchelor to Tumbling Waters as we continue our meandering across northern Australia after attending the Red Centre Experience over Easter. After setting up camp, we headed out to grab caches both towards the east that we didn't do on the way in as we tow rather a large van, and to the west so that tomorrow is a feasible day for us as we don't get big numbers in a day.
I think this was find #14 for the day. I thoughtv2e had finished back near our camp, but Pa want3d to see what the "interesting " road was like so off we went again. Yes it was interesting, but once at GZ the cache was found, the log signed and all returned to its hidey hole. TFTC

Great driving and caching weather today. A quick find. TFTC

This picnic area and dam are all currently closed to the public. No idea if its permanent. But no access today.

Today we explored Berry Springs and surrounds using geocaching as a guide and picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them. An easy find.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

We were out this way and took the opportunity to grab this cache whilst we were here.

Cat quickly made the find on a warm afternoon.

Thank you for placing this cache here for our enjoyment.

Decided to place a log here as it has been missing awhile this is now a small magnetic container. Out for a caching road trip with Wpack01 for the day, not too much rain for this time of year TFTC SNAFUADV

Was on a caching road trip with MGROCKS for the day TFTC SNAFUADV Replaced it if you don't mind different size but a smaller one one

Looks like its not here anymore. No lucj for us

DNF!! No sign of this one might want to consider deactivating this one CO

Out and about but failed to unearth his one. had a good look behind the fence, but no luck for us today.

He might have a farm but we couldn't find his cache. Looked in a few places but nothing jumped out at us.

If you cant see this one you must be in the wrong location. TFTC

We moved the caravan to Noonamah for 2 nights to cache in the area.
Pulled up at the gates for a quick grab and sign.
Thanks for the cache, SNAFUADV.

On tour from Melbourne to Darwin and beyond using our fantastic game as a self guided tour .
Thankyou for your cache contribution as it made for a memorable road trip - tftc .

After visiting the dam we too a side road to find this cache. Very easily spotted, lots of goodies inside.
Thanks SNAFUADV

I headed in to find this cache on a detour from my drive back from the Dawin River Dam
Leonino Road looked like it led to GZ and after a short drive on the bitumen I turned into Reedbeds Road
A nice easy cache find as the cache seems to be sitting out in the open a few metres away from the Gnomish gate guard
TFTC.

I think I found the trick to this search as I departed northward and discovered that this road was a no through road and had to do a quick U-turn take another road back to the pub

Nice and easy drive by cache on our way to the Darwin Dam. TFTC SNAFUADV.

We were looking for moo moo here and baa baa there but instead found a cache cache there. Actually, it was closer to here, quite a bit down the hill and very close to the road out in the open. Moved it back up the hill a bit after signing it.

Quick and easy find after crossing the ford

Nice easy find TFTC

Well after going wrong way we found it easily enough,
Took motorbike left dice and a ring.
Shame more cachers dont venture out to this its a nice drive in the country.

Found the right road in first go, so after that it was an easy find.

Placed in 2003? This cache has sure been around for a while. T4TC.

We checked out the caretake gnome and then it was on to find the cache. TNLN. thanks snafuadv

Nice easy drive by on way home TFTC

Drove in past (through) the flooded road crossing - isn't this the dry season ? Great sized cache, L big lizzard. TFTC.

found easy enough, nice and peaceful out here. took gc and wine cooler, left ball and bubbles. TFTC

Couldn't make up my mind to trespass just a little or whether to slash my wrists on the barbed wire: eventually decided on the former. Glad the road was only a few kilometers long and not a few hundred km's long!.
Left a small wine bottle "stubby holder".

TFTC

An easy find.TFTC

glad there hadn't been any rain for a bit and saw my first snake for the day here
Thank you for placing a cache here. sl

A stright forward drive by.

Easy find. Can't beleive it has been there for so long!

Easy Find, but getting past the ants that had built their nest on top of it was a bit of a problem

Found the cache at 4.10pm. Enjoyed drive the car along to the cache. SL. Thanks snafuadv for organising the cache and hunt.

Took wrong route at first but never-the-less got there in the end. Nice drive out to gz, especially the lake enroute. Thanks for the hide

Cool cache junior loved it and took bouncy ball L silver star magnet TFTH

Sneaky little roads out there. Took penny and ball Left fairy in shell and game cards.

We didn't take any wrong turns and found us a very easy cache, the cache still has a great amount of treasures. T TB L bouncy ball and dice. TFTC

My find No 593, LCC, T Boys Rule rubber stamp, L Barrel of Slime, dropped Crikey the Iguana TB (ref = TBK9AQ), also dropped my WanderingAus Happy New Year 2008 Gold GC in for a visit before grabbing it back again.

After stopping at the Litchfield Pub to take a look and of course have a drink & some food found this cache easily and thankfully it is close to the road as it was pouring.Out car in clapping sticks. TFTC

On our holidays, partly travelling in a Britz campervan through the upper half of the Northern Territory, we tried to log as many of the caches on the way. With the use of a PDA with iGo and the caches loaded as POIs, driving to the cache locations has become quite easy. In total, we visited 61 cache sites and of all these sites, we found 41 caches. Certainly not a perfect score, but we usually enjoyed the location the owner of the cache has chosen. Geocaching brought us to the usual popular tourist locations, but also on some places that we would have otherwise never stopped or driven through.

This log-entry is the 47th cache on our tour.

On our way to a camp site near this cache, we decided to make a short detour and log this one. The cache has already been around for quite some time, looking at the log book. Later on, we found out that the camping site we had in mind was actually closed that day so we made it all this way for nothing. At least we had a cache logged…

Easy find as we were in the area Took ROCK Travel bug to put in a new cache. Thanks for the hunt.

Easy to find after a short drive.

PS: Sorry for delay in logging, but we just arrived in Germany. It`s always a bit difficult to find an internet access when we are on holidays in Australia.

PPS: Sorry about our English.

Good drive by cache. Took a few back roads on the way which made the trip quite eventful. Thought about taking the ROCK TB but size does matter.

Picked up the World of Geocaching Geocoin from this cache. Thanks!

Bit of a drive but easy find.
Dropped off a geocoin and ball and took a pin badge.

Many thanks to the Clapsons and Snafuadv for giving me a small detour, left a few pennies and a golf ball.

found on our way to Cairns, think we may be lost lol

On that farm, we ben findem big blue box.
Im really good one that one.

Love the name and the hidy hole, the ants were pretty freindly, a small flowering Acacia had attracted a heap of black ants that climbed onto my leg as I approched GZ. They all bit me at once, probably knowing that I was going to write some very poor poetry...

Took pink teddy bear
Left Round pink soap, small butterfly and a Brolga sticker.

Great drive, thanks
Pigbitch.

I don't know if we were lucky to find the right way in or if the dry weather and falling water levels have opened up a few other roads. Either way we drove directly to GZ and after the GPSr finally settled on which direction to go we had the cache in no time.
Some really good swaps inside, pity my swaps were starting to run a little low.
Took little water pistol, left ball game.
Thanks

Not that easy to find an opened road!

Thanks and greetings from Germany,

In: TB

Luckily we must have taken the correct turn to this cache. Easily found with lots of goodies. Especially liked the mosquito trap. However TNLN and SL. TFTC.

The Crew and a newcommer found this cache on a hit and run raid south of Darwin. TNLN. TFTC.

Found after 2 false starts, and also almost dropping my very low hire car in a very deep river crossing. I backed up and found a better way around. cache is in good condition

TNLN

There has been some fires around this area, but the cache was untouched. A quick find as there was nobody around today.
Took: TB Frog, Left: Car and Fire extinguisher water pistol
Thanks, Robmc.

Found this one with no probs. Left Red Eye Express travel bug and mozzie trap to be an incentive to get out this way . Didn't go via Berry Good as we had the dogs sleeping on the back seat along for the ride. We'll go back for that on the bike and earn a swim.

Nice place. Was looking for snakes.

An easy find on a dry, dry day. We took one way in and another out, but no water anywhere. I can imagine how tough this would be in the wet.

Nice and easy, no sign of snake of farmers.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Good Cache not to difficult just needed to doge the grader and water truck

Found it!! But it wasn't the only thing I found, A small carpet python was curled up under the box. A farmer stopped and started questioning me, luckly he new the deal. I logged in, but didn't do any swaps.

Great drive down there, after i figured out how to get to it!, got some strange looks from property owners when i tried to drive down their driveways...well i didn't know ha ha, took the kids cystal lion and left a pink kids toy, great spot, what with the weed council?

Tried to reach the cache but 2 kms before the cache the road was flooded and crossing with a campervan was impossible. Next time better.
Thanks Anyway.

Using all the recent logs, (if you can call them that) we decphered the way in and followed some roads. Initially we thought that if they are farming anything it could only be Pandanus until we came across some people doing some real farming.

Had a bit of trouble getting the container out of its spot as a rock had wedged down beside it. After a few choice words and losing a little bark of the knuckles and blood on the forearms that hitthe wire we had success.

The cache is in very good condition. We took a koala and left a sun crystal kit. (Its a kit the kids can put together to make a suncatcher.)

We returned the cache and wouldn't you know it a rock fell down beside the container again. Sorry to the next finder if it causes a problem.

Thanks

Rated: for Overall Experience

First approached from the north as my 1:250000 map indicated the road went all the way. But found a river in the way so had to go round the long way. Even took the hire car X-Trail through a water crossing that I am sure Thrifty wouldn't approve of, but it was only about 15cm.

Obvious from nearby, took a souvenir mosquito trap (I like it) and left a self inking stamp for geokids.

Thanks Oky's Mates for this interesting detour on the way to Litchfield.

Nice spot. Interesting crossroads on the way out - had to check the tracklog to make sure we took the correct turn. Stopped at the stream and soaked the feet for awhile. The water was still surprisingly cold. Kids took the water pistol and high bounce ball, left stuffed Koala and shot glass.

I am continually amazed with the total lack of observation by muggles. This cache was so obvious that it screamed look at me!!!! We rehide it at the same spot but with slightly better cover.

Thanks from
The Odlids

Nice cache, found together with fussfolk.

Found this after Litchfield and NP during heading towards Darwin. Almost drive-thru, easy find. Nice location, and the direction (arriving from North) was obviously fine, at least at this time of the year.

IN: gum ball, beer base
OUT: Sully, stubby

Interesting area. Had to ask at the Acacia fuel stop on the Stuart Highway to find Leonino Rd on the way in. Took the moo-cow glass because we had just broken an identical one in Litchfield, left a lighter, $3 and a card my son reckons is really important. On to Berry Good and a swim. Thanks.

This is the first time we have driven around this area; we found it very interesting.
Found it easily.
Met Paul the resident 'caretaker'.
Took kids gardening gloves and left a stubbie cooler from East Timor.

Talked a friend into driving past and "Just pick up this cache on the way back to Darwin from Litchfield"... It poured down with rain, roads were beginning to flood and my name was fast becoming "mud". We found it fast (fluked it) and I signed the log (no swaps). My very grumpy friend informed me there was to be no more geocaching "straight back to Darwin"... We will see Berry Good was next on the list.

Went for a drive and drove on the backroads from Litchfield. Thought we would pocket this one before we got home. well we drove to the river and a quick toe testing of the depth allowed the mighty Rav to continue drove past the cache and then drove back again. Pays to look at the GPS now and again.... Great site easily found even at 1900. Took stubbie cooler and left my balls from Canberra I think they have thawed out by now.

Love the dirt roads and the water crossing even if we did go the long way around. With the lack of traffic we parked the car in the middle of the road and did our swaps etc. Got the bendy thing to place in a sydney cache. If you go the same way as we did check the depth before crossing the floodway and watch for crocs while you do.
Thanks SNAFUADV and love the location of the neighbours farm.

Good cache, very easy to get lost and heaps of stuff inside. Had the belt in one of my tyres try and leave the car on the way home which meant driving from Berry Springs to Palmerston at 30km/h which wasn't so fun. Turned out to be an exspensive cache-hunt

Found by Crackers, Radar, Toolman, Spook & Vombatus @ 1350 Hours.

We must have been skilled as we went there first off. Not a wrong turn!!

This was one of the first for Crackers, Spook, Radar and Toolman and they are hooked.

Took the Bendy Monkey and left some crackers.

We to were looking for the mad medic and now I understand.

Vombatus

We found this one with Vombatus back in 2003 but have just discovered that we did not log it. Sorry for the delay I must have lost the page we wrote the info on, will have to check if we missed any more.
Thanks Snafuadv

Found easy enough but couldn't see any travel bug in it though.Took coffee mug left caculator.
Thanks
Georgie & co

as this one is located on my farm i grabbed it and swindled the bug..... sorry to all those who went looking for this one but due to problems with my computer i havent been able to log it till now.....

thanx for the find and the mad medic has now a new home....

took travel bug and left a packet of lollies

we have dropped off this little guy in hope that he can help heal someone else. it was great to have him and now its up to you to find him a new home.
