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.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache within 7 days, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 7 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

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) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a 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.

Out and about today with IolantheK. Big Grin
We are in Byron Bay to find her 6000th cache. Cool
Which we did with Easterly Extreme at Byron Bay. [^]
Then it was down to Ballina where I have not found most in town. Big Grin
A quick find and then another find Surprised There are two containers here, one on top of the other. You will find our name in the systema. Smile
Thanks for the cache.
 
25-Aug-15
Brother Colin and I were out today chasing a big milestone for me Big Grin After it was done, we did some map comparing, and turns out we both had loads of caches to do in Ballina, so we headed further south. First a stop for lunch, then more cache hunting Big Grin

A bit of a damp walk to GZ, but the hiding spot was obvious [^] BC made the find (a small sistema container), but when I went to put it back, there was another container (a glass jar) in the same spot Surprised We left both in place. TFTC, Team Hylton.

5th yew !! Sharna and I are on a roll
 
02-Aug-15
Until today neither Purple or Darkness had heard of "Ballina's Botanical Gardens' This was an enchanting walk although would be interesting (muddy?) after big rains. The nearby pond looked artistic with greenery covering it.

The clue was spot on and the newly fashioned hidey spot was perfect.

Thanks for bringing us here TH.

19-Apr-15
Found after attending the Easter Mega at Stanthorpe. A reasonably sunny day perfect for resuming my campervan holiday and my hunt for caches down the NSW coast. I found 2 cache containers - impossible to properly sign either of them due to soggy logs. Took photos of containers & GZ if proof ever required. Needs maintenance ASAP & best to combine both containers. SL.TFTC!
 
19-Apr-15
Cache very wet
 
19-Apr-15
Signed log

19-Feb-15

15-Feb-15
Last find before heading up to Brisbane. So very many mosquitoes.
 
03-Feb-15
Needed a cache for the day and this was close. Thank goodness it was an easy find as the mossies would have carried us away. TFTC
 
03-Feb-15
Mossie city here, TFTC - glad it was a quick one.

Old log is soaked, but there's a new small log that's still dey
 
20-Dec-14
A little soggy needs a little TLC.
 
20-Dec-14
Found it
 
20-Dec-14
This cache needs maintenance! Found it nice place!!
 
19-Dec-14
Coordinates were well off. Just as well geowife saw the cache. In a hollow which itself was full of water. Log book not in plastic bag so it was also wet - so wet we could not sign it. Put a few pages into a new plastic bag and moved the cache higher so now it is out of danger. CO - it needs your attention. Find No 5 on day 2 of 5 days to Canberra.
 
07-Dec-14
Couldn't write in the book, it was soaked!! Loads of mozzies!!!! Nice little walk tho.
 
22-Nov-14
Nice place for a walk or picnic.

Bring some mozzie spray as they get a bit thick near the cache. No swappables at all in container Sad

Also the owner may want to do some maintenance as the cache was very wet and the log was very waterlogged.
 
11-Nov-14
This was a nice Rea but as we were adding our name to the log we noticed a couple of strange people nearby so hurried it back to its hiding place and left as soon as we could. Would not like to come here on my own. TFTC
 
22-Oct-14
Found on a road trip to the south coast. Left a marble, nothing to take.
 
19-Oct-14
Out doing a little cycling around Ballina and enjoying the trails - nice park to stop for a rest Cool
 
19-Oct-14
Easy find. Not sure if the others loitering were fellow cachers or not. But drying log signed and small jar replaced next to eclipse box. TFTC

Container and log book very wet! Lovey walk though on a perfect day... TFTC!
 
27-Sep-14
Beautiful little park here Smile
 
27-Sep-14
The Eclipse container has lost its lid and the paper is soggy.
I have replaced the zip lock bag and we found a small jar we have popped the log in the same spot next to the Eclipse container. But a new log is needed Smile
 
24-Sep-14
Terrain is okay but the mozzies were ferocious, wear repellant if looking for the ones in this park.
The cache has lost its lid, the soggy log is very full and whole cache needs replacing with new log in new zip lock bag
 
21-Sep-14
Cute pencil. Needs a new bag and cache.tftc.
 
14-Sep-14
TFTC I wrote in the eclipse container
 
22-Aug-14
It was very wet underfoot, but we found the cache anyway. The used condom immediately next to the cache was a little off-putting...
 
09-Aug-14
Found it! Great one for kids. Smile

Nice quick find.

TFTH
 
15-May-14
off to Balina with FastEd

little detour on way out from our FTF
 
21-Apr-14
Be aware - the elephant size mosquitoes literally carried us away and we had sprayed our clothes (before putting them on), bodies (before dressing and again on arrival), hair and socks in preparation for this find.
Just making it back to the car alive, we headed on to the next cache via a quick transfusion at the local blood bank Smile
 
18-Apr-14
MOZZZZIES millions!!!!! New cache new log FTF on it lol tftc
 
31-Mar-14
I was driving past today and knowing this one needed maintenance, I dropped in a new container and log. The last container was not in a good state, so the new one is nice and dry and good to go.
 
20-Mar-14
Last one in Ballina today. The mozzies were zooming in and so had to make this one a quick find. Thanks team Hylton.
