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

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.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

It would appear this cache needs to be relocated so people dont need to cross a fenceline to retrieve it.

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) 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.

This cache is in a restricted fenced off area and needs to be relocated or archived.

Not found as the coordinates are in a restricted fenced off area.

Good

Beautiful arvo to be out in these back country roads. All quiet today - not open Saturday at the museum. Thanks Mr Walker

Thanks for the cache Mr Walker.

Time for some caching on 22/2/22, and a souvenir. Enjoyed the roads and history in this area. Although we have visited Port Lincoln many times over the years, first time to the reservoir. Well looked after area, with plenty of facilities. Bull any central in the parking area near gz. Tftc

Nice to find an oldie. On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird. TFTC Mr Walker
Find #7426 at 18:18.

Out on caching adventures grabbing oldies to fill in JASMER spots while we can on the Eyre Peninsula with Wollaston.

Thanks to the CO’s for taking time to set out and maintain these hides and for showing us your very special part of the world

Find # 5048

Straightforward find despite dodgy phone directions.

Lovely view of the Todd Reservoir,TFTC

We arrived at around 10.00am on a Sunday and the gates were unfortunately locked up tight. Maybe another time.

Thanks

Found on a beautiful Sunday drive, and like previous people we got over the fence to complete an easy find tftc

We were not prepared to enter the prohibited fenced area.

This weekend, I joined gridge98 on a trip to Eyre Peninsula, primarily visiting Port Lincoln and its surroundings. We saw its famous marina full of trawlers, and we also ended up visiting Coffin Bay and enjoyed fresh oysters. A nice weekend with weather, and certainly a great vicinity to see.

Today, our plan was to head to the west side of Eyre Peninsula to Coffin Bay, and have lunch there. We enjoyed kilpatrick oysters (hopefully fresh?), before making our way north through Mount Dutton Bay, Farm Beach, and Coulta, and calling into Greenly Bay. We then looped back east through Koppio and Whites Flat, stopping off for a steep hike to North Block also. An enjoyable day to be out and about, with highlights being the coastal towns and views, and hills hike.

This was a cool location to visit to get some nice views of the dam nearby. Like others who had commented before me, we needed to hop over the fence by 20 m in order to retrieve this cache. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. I'm not sure how much longer this cache is sustainable given its location. Thanks Mr Walker for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

We thought after looking at the map this might be a bit if a lengthy walk, but surprisingly the gate was open and we were able to drive within 20m of GZ, after jumping the fence the cache was easily found

Today Davidwazza and I continued on our trip of caching out port Lincoln to the best we could, today we made our way from North Shields in and around coffin bay and the back roads. All up just over 50 finds for the day.

Thanks for the cache

With the cache being here for 14 years now a few things have changed with a fence now being erected leaving the cache on the side of no tresspassing, like others we took the risk and jumped the fence to walk the 10 to 20m to get the cache which was in good condition. At sometime probable needs relocating. Loved the views from here the reservior looking a bit low at the moment but plenty of flowers coming out. Mrs frog remembers family picnics here in her early days.
TFTC Mr Walker

We had to hop over the fence to get this one, and drive some country roads, but worth it! A lovely area and spot. Tftc

Found easily after hopping the fence. What a lovely area with flowering plants all around. Tftc

Little detour on way hone so why not find the cache. Rest area to explore. TFTC.

Thankfully we could just step over the fence without a climb, then through the brush to find the cache - it was all good, even with a lot of winter rain it was dry, protected by the older container turned over as a cover. Left a lucky Chinese Feng Shui coin. TFTC 2BluFish

Found on 26/01/2020 after several false starts. Outer container needs replacement inner is okay log shows some water damage but dry at the moment. TFTC.

Easy find tftc

Our second DAY IN Pt Lincoln and it was time to focus on caching in Lincoln itself and potential surrounds. It was a cold and grey day interspersed with rain, which was a bit of a downer when compared to the sunshine of the last few days. Despite this we were able to still able to make a good day of it, finding over 50 caches, though it was also a day of quality as well with some higher terrain caches as well. It was an enjoyable day as we were able to tick off some earmarked caches before we finally finished up at around seven.

TFTC

Found It!
Interesting spot and a quick find. Not much water in the dam at the moment...
TFTC

That is not a good cache having to climb a fence, it also needs maintenance. We are from wa, was only by perseverance from my husband that it was found

Quick find after a short search. Log book a little damp. Tftc

Another day of Eyre caching with Purrfect Di, Sebastbat and Jack.
We went for a drive up away from Pt Lincoln and found all sorts today. This was one...
Went for a long walk in, first find since December!
On the way out we found we could have driven almost by after all. C'est la vie...
TFTC Mr Walker

This one is currently unavailable as maintenance is being done, you could sneak in after the workers go home

An easy find. Very interesting to learn about this reservoir. Had afternoon tea at the picnic spot. Thanks for bringing us here Mr Walker!

Christmas holiday - sightseeing... carnage on legs but nice hide

Couldn't find coordinates took us to restricted area

Tftc

We didn't find because we don't trespass

Co ords are slightly off - thanks for the cache

Thanks for the cache

Easy find inside a fenced area and the contain needs to be replaced

Easy find, needs new container

New container required - weather damage

Found in a pretty poor state of disrepair and full of water ! New container needed

It is in private property behind at fence with locked gate

Back behind fence and gate was lock

Not sure about having to hop the fence.
A nice spot otherwise.

...

As suggested out of bounds and in bad need of help. please fix soon as new? fence had to be jumped over so relocation a priority too.

Found it. Was a bit wet. Cache definitely needs moving.

Not sure it was a good idea to put this cache here
feel you may have put this cache here before fence was put up
Fenced of and gate locked
Felt funny about climbing over gate
Cache is in a very bad state
Previous logger must have felt the same as he documented it on the log
2 cache containers found
1 should be thrown away as all broken and contents destroyed
2nd cache plastic container with just a sheet of paper to sign which we did
Thanks for bringing us here as we enjoyed the chat with the Water worker who lived here and checked out the museum which was very interesting

Found with The X-Trailers.
Feel his cache may have to be moved due to area now being fenced off.
The condition of the cache was not good.'.
TFTC

We pulled up at a great little look out area viewing the reservoir. We weren't sure about where the GPS was pointing so we let it settle for awhile but it didn't change it's mind. Although it didn't feel right being there we quickly signed the log and headed back out to take in the view before heading off to have a look at the artifacts near the front gate
Thanks again Mr Walker for the cache

Found it after a struggle ... there are 2 containers .. we signed the log in the cleanest one.

Found easily on the other side of the fence. Thanks for the new container and that the original is still there.
Cheers from the Posspet Boys

We decided to pop in after the Yallunda flat show with Anyones Guess, lucky we had a spare cache container as it needed to be replaced, so we replaced it.

thought that we would give this a go, but as today was an severe weather warning day, the gate was locked so there was no public access. wiil give it a go next time i am in the area and the weather is not so hot

Good spot to visit this time of year when its green

Glad people could find this. They have put up a fence. I sent my great nieces in to get it, but it has moved around and they couldnt find it. I will try to get it out and replace the container as well as locating it outside the fence., but it might take a while.

We done this cache on 25/7/09 it was all wet as the lid is bent and not sealing properly Needs to be replaced. TFTC good spot.

TFTC!!!
TNLN

TNLN Cache was wet, good hiding spot.

yeah our first 1 for our day of caching as family day TNLN TFTC

Always wanted to visit here. I was never sure how to get there though. The GPSr led the way and I followed gamely. There is not as much water as there could be.

Cache is still wet but we think if the lid id kept on properly it should be fine. Not sure if it will dry out while sealed still. Maybe will check and take another container if we go back that way. Lovely spot!!!!

A very beautiful outlook - thank you for showing us this little treasure Mr Walker .

Found it this time! last time was just after Christmas and it was HOT!

There is a new fence between the cache and the car park (it looks brand new, very shiny!) so had to do a caching no-no and jump the fence to et to the cache, wchih will need to be relocated I suggest.

TFTC

Found it, but needed to jump the fence to get to it, so have logged as needing maintenance as someone has built a fence between the cache and the carpark which wasn't there last time!

Nice cache
found with Delta

Had to climb over a fence though.

The museum is very interesting, go into the main building for lots more info.

Cache was out, Cache was wet.

Cheers from Barra 2 & 4

this was the start to a good drive after doing some work out this way. had to take every thing out and dry as much as possible as this had lot of water in it but could not find a hole.

Couldn't find this one, searched and searched all around the area the GPS indicated but just couldn't find it or any evidence of its existence. Oh well we'll just have to come back again Consoled ourselves with a cold can of drink from the coke machine at the museum down the hill! An unuasul but very welcome facility at a cache location!! espeically on 38+ degree days!

Found the cache at 7.50pm. Again search for while finally found it hee!!! Lovely park - enjoyed wander around the park. Thanks Mr Walker for organise the cache and hunt.

Pt Lincoln Trip 4th week of Oct

A great location. Cache locatrion was out by about 13 metres

Last find for the afternoon, had never visited this area before, nice view.

Found this one wet inside, but mainly because lid was off. For those who have not had the pleasure of siting through hours of tupperware evenings, these seal very well, but you must push the centre button in hard and just check the rim of the lid. Once it is closed properly it should be completely watertight, but I will continue to monitor logs for any problems. This was chock full of goodies, which may have contributed to the problem, so I took a couple of wet items out for restoration. Left it dried and sealed.

looked around for a while for this one but my better half found it eventually TFTH

Made this one before closing time this time! Found easily, TFTC!

Emptied water that we could.
Thought the reservoir would have had more water in it.
Took earrings
Left Koala keyring

Just made it into the Dam at 3.55pm, just before they were going to close. I think this is the fastest one we have found. Pity we didnt have time to look around. We will have to come back for a bbq.

one of the juniour members of the Mine Hill Bandits spotted this one easily
this one was a bit waterlogged after the recent downpour dried it out and put some of the goodies in a zip look bag
admired the views for a short while befour heading off to find todmouth.

Found by Chris after I headed off to the wrong tree. Swapped water pistol for a calculator. TFTC Jim and Chris

Got out of the car too soon and had to do a bit of donga bashing. Kelley the wonderdog saved the day with his superlative Border Collie nose. Was most pleased with himself! Young Jack was thrilled to find another whale and we exchanged another fish. Again cache was in good condition. Thanks Mr Walker.

Pity about the lack of water everywhere, this place would be really striking when a bit more lush, but a lovely spot just the same - TFTC

TRAVELLING AROUND WITH B*DS, FOUND FAIRLY EASILY.TNLN TFTC ,CACHE IS IN GOOD CONDITION.

No problems here after failing at Todpool.
It was interesting to see all the regeneration after the fires. I was surprised how it varied over quite short distances. The reservoir made for a pleasant view – though I must admit I preferred Todpool!
Took dinosaur, left car and turtle.
Also dropped off frögley geocoin to be near water for a while (though he would have preferred Todpool, too!)
Thanks Mr Walker.
PS TB Theodore the cache hound has been taken but not logged out.
