One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.

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.

Second attempt at this one. Last time it was in the dark, and I did not succeed. Good to return and finally bag it. Confirming previous log entries, this one is wet through and in need of maintenance.
 
15-Feb-15
Found it.. But like other comments, very wet! TFTC
 
15-Feb-15
I enjoyed the walk through this sanctuary. I loved the dog bowls carved out of rocks. There was no one around, so able to find cache quickly. Although log was soaked, probably from the heavy rain the day before. TFTC Team_Seegs.
 
11-Feb-15
Found it easily this morning on the way to work. Decided to take a little detour and it did not disappointed, definitely deserves the sanctuary moniker! Went on through Blackburn Lake as well, which was just as nice. Log did not enjoy the morning dew and is quite wet, managed to scribble a name down though. TFTC and for bringing me to this wonderful place!
 
08-Feb-15
Great find but a very wet cache. It'll need replacing as it's quite full of names as well as wet

Very wet cache- we drained out water but log still wet. Beautiful place thanks
 
06-Jan-15
Energized by our first find we decided to go for a second one. This was an easy find thanks to the clues. Unfortunately everything inside has been exposed to the recent downpour. Logbook was wet as well as the other treasures inside. Still able to sign but could do with a change.

Left a little treasure inside.

Thanks.

Out on a quick little run after work. I had time to kill as a friend was running quite late and thought how better to pass the time with a bit of caching. This was quite the quick find however I did feel very exposed but no muggles in sight. Tftc tnln sl
 
22-Nov-14
Easy find by the young K man and dad after a milo cricket morning

Love the sanctuary. Great that you provide a nice log for us to sit on! Smile

We couldn't see the Team Firesafe Geocoin #49 (TB2EMVE) in there.

Sorry, didn't have the sealable bag for this geocoin: Pirate Bones (TB63MG8). Next to collect, please put it in one.

During my work and travel year in Australia I'm trying to solve my 365 days of caching challenge. Having a moving home zone should make this definitely way easier Smile

I visited this area some more times and every time I only searched for one or two cache, always having the challenge in mind. Most times I started the hunt late in the eventing, so I could get at least two boxes around midnight.

This one was found fast and easy.

TFTC and greetings from Germany

What a well established boss. My bosses statement was you are required to meet a work life balance as king as you maintain output. 900 hours up is considered fair. TFTC and I wish i had your boss.

Another nice park with a lovely eucalyptus scent. Thx
 
21-Feb-14
I really love these caches that encourage us to stop and explore some of the parks we pass by, usually thinking 'that looks nice' but no real reason to stop. I especially enjoy these parks that shed a bit of light on local history, and we spent some time walking around and looking at the trees and their markers, enjoying the calm feel of the place.

The cache itself was easily found, well concealed but just where you'd expect it. Dry and in good condition. TNLN, thanks for getting us out for a morning stroll in a different spot Team_Seegs.
 
17-Feb-14
Lovely walk. Awesome spot Smile
 
12-Feb-14
A easy walk to the gz today but the dry grass beside the path the dear geo wife a bit toey being a nice warm sunny day, snake country as she calls it...had no problems finding this one and it was soon logged. Thanks Team Seeqs for the cache and the opportunity to come and enjoy this great patch of bushland that is some what tucked away. Cache container and contents are all fine.
