4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache

The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.

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

Not sure how this survives so close to the water line, but it obviously does Surprised.
Took us awhile to find the container (and didn't even realise we had it initially) Red FaceBig Grin. TNLNSL.
Thanks Postiegirl (and Klem's Mob).

Great hide! Pencil nib is broken will need replacement, will try to bring on back soon. Paper has definitely had its use! But dried out well enough to still read contense.
 
17-Apr-17
This was the sort of rock hunt we like - a short one! As the previous finder mentioned, the film container is missing, but the log is still ok (has been wet, but is usable). TFTC
 
09-Jan-17
Found it but sadly his film canister is gone. Log was still there but soaked. Put in spare bag we had, although it's not a very strong one and unfortunately had no spare container on us. Had a hunt for the canister but possibly muggled or storm affected? Sat Nav was spot on at least Smile
 
20-Apr-16
Rocks! Grr! No luck and it was getting dark so decided to move on
 
Fun, and "just right". Don't give up!

Having been in the area for a family lunch I wandered down to this one with a mate. A medical condition gives me terrible balance so I tumbled over twice hopping over the rocks on the way to the GZ. Eventually found the prize on a lovely afternoon..... with half a dozen boats moored just behind the waves. Great fun ..... a favourite!!!
 
26-Jan-16
Found it

Easier than originally thought, good first geocache find

I've dubbed this "mermaid cove" I used to come here as a kid to watch the rigs come in to pt stanvac. Its great to be able to tick this off my bucket list. One of the coolest caches I've found and keeper of the cache is supurbly hidden back for the next finder thanks for the adventure.. Mermaids shall love this one

As the new owner I will be checking on this one soon
 
04-Jul-15
After 15 minutes of shuffling rocks, I stepped back and thought like a cache owner. Where would I put the thing. I'd already searched under the bastard bush, but a quick glance elsewhere soon found the guardian. After carefully preceding past the teeth, I was able to grab the and sign the log. TFTC.
 
04-Jul-15
Found after moving copious quantities of rocks. The teeth nearly got us but we managed to retrieve the cache without harm TFTC
 
08-Jun-15
15 minutes looking with jacknor like a cache hunter with no success. Stopped thought like a cache hider and got in 1 1/2 minutes. Love the cammo.
 
08-Jun-15
Found it with Sir_Spectre
He is part mountain goat
 
26-Apr-15
For my part I was ready to give up. When I heard a puzzled exclamation from Fredfronky. I looked over and saw what he had in his hand... after getting past the teeth and signing the log the guarian had us in stitches (sorry bad pun there) an awesome hide which took a while to locate. A fav from me.

Tftc
 
26-Apr-15
We spent a long time on this one. Due to the heavy cloud cover, the GPS was directing us in circles. Eventually, we called it. And just then, I stumbled on the cache. The hide was excellent, and the guardian really lifted our spirits after the long search.
Thanks a lot for this one.
 
05-Apr-15
Found over a year ago
Forgot to log it
 
11-Jan-15
Found Smile
 
09-Jan-15
Finally found it after a DNF with becthang on this dismal day TFTC
 
Having read previous logs, we came prepared for a challenging search, but were pleasantly surprised with relatively quick & easy find. Thanks Klems' Mob for taking to this pleasant spot.
 
21-Dec-14
Awesome container and great spot and hide. Cheers Smile
 
21-Dec-14
Tftc! Tricky one, we almost gave up
 
14-Dec-14
After an hr of searching with becthang still no cache, will be back again to look for you
 
10-Nov-14
After a bit of time blindly searching thanks to a unstable gps and dodging all the broken glass decided this one wasnt worth the hospital trip.
 
09-Nov-14
Really funny experience. Great cache absolutely loved it.
 
09-Nov-14
Took us awhile to find it. Just a bit of a tip don't look under the bridge is a bit dangerous
 
02-Nov-14
Saw that this one is now back and thought I would go for a walk to try and find it again. Big Grin Arrived at GZ and started looking in all the places I had looked at before, but still wasn't having much luck. Sad Spent about 20 minutes turning rocks around the area my GPSr was pointing, but nothing. Sad Widened my search area but still nothing. Sad Resorted to PAF and the cache was found in probably the only place I hadn't looked..duh. Red FaceRed Face Felt very relieved when I signed the log. Big Grin
Thanks for the cache Klems' Mob and the lovely walk along a rugged piece of our coastline. Big Grin
 
01-Nov-14
STF. Good to see this re enabled. Hope it lasts. Probaly should have a waterproof log. TFTC
 
31-Oct-14
Whoo hoo FTF the replaced cache, haha, after a DNF on this one a while back we were rapt to see it had been replaced by the CO.
So on a breezy Saturday afternoon we went for another lovely walk, we must be fitter this time because by the return to the car we could still talk. Didn't get attacked by any sealife either phew.
We reckon Channel 7 was almost filming this cache the other day when they were down here doing a story on opening up the jetty to the public, fishing off there would be great we think.
Thanks Klems' Mob for the cache and the excercise. Signed the log and replaced it safe and sound as found. Edit to add photo

This cache has now been replaced.
 
26-Oct-14
We enjoyed the walk to GZ and I enjoyed telling Cal about the old industry next door and the large jetty we could see.
Spent a little while rock turning, but like previous seekers we came away empty handed (except for a stone and seeweed that Cal liked, and a small torch that I found).
CheersCool
 
27-Aug-14
After a string of DNF's and one of those where a previous finder was phoned I think this one needs checking to see if it is in fact gone. [?]
 
27-Aug-14
It was a lovely sunny day today so I thought I would get out and about and find a few caches. I had noticed that this one had a few DNF's but thought I would go for a nice walk along the beach (and rocks) to have a look. I spent a good half hour at GZ, but did not find the cache. As previous logs suggested even after phoning a previous finder it could not be found. Sad
I think it might be time to check this one to see if it is in fact gone. [?]
Thanks for bringing me here Klems' Mob. Smile
 
24-Aug-14
First one we ever tried looking for today and couldnt find it. Hope it's still there because we will be back!
 
17-Aug-14
Looked for quite awhile but could not find it today. I'd like to know if it's still there. My gps was putting me around a big rock at the vegetation/rock line.
 
14-Jul-14
Too cold look again when warmer
 
09-Jul-14
Looked for ages for this one, spoke to a previous finder and we are pretty sure your cute little cache is a goner. Please confirm either way thanks. Nice rock hopping day though thanks Klems Mob, had a good time anyway.
Thought we had logged this one, we were there weeks ago.

Enjoyed our walk down and around from the boat ramp. It didnt take long to find the unique cache container once at GZ. TFTC.
 
05-May-13
Nice walk down, different story on the way up, nice place though. TFTC
 
05-May-13
What a hike! Pretty sure Mordor was easier to reach. Worth it though to find the critter.
 
24-Apr-13
Found it with RTH300, after a previous failure. TFTC
 
24-Apr-13
Got this one today after many trips up and down....Tftc.

Logged this one my mistake. The cache by the same name at Salt Creek was the one I found but I'm heading your way. Cheers.
 
15-Feb-13
I arrived at GZ thinking OMG rocks every where, an easy find my lucky day I guess. SL TFTC.

Have replaced this critter so it is now back swimming around.
 
12-Nov-12
We had an idea of what we were looking for, but had no luck.
I am unsure if Wal-len has found it, and if he has not, then it has not been found since June, and it may not be there now.
 
26-Oct-12
Sorry folks logged that I had dropped a GC in here, but it's actually in Oils Ain't Oils (GC3GCJG)
