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 sometime in the near future, 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 28 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.

Given the state of the log and the fact that it seems to have been ignored I'd suggest that this needs archiving.
 
10-Mar-14
Definitely a case of having seen better days. Wasn't so much of a log as a sodden mess.

Think given the number of NM that have been left without action I'd suggest that this needs archiving.

I looked and I couldn't see it. The truth is, I knew I needed to stick my fingers where all those cobwebs were, and I hadn't brought a glove, so I wimped out. Next time I'll come prepared. Smile

No luck tonight despite a good search.

Despite looking from every possible angle for about 20 minutes, we were not successful in finding this cache. Guess a bad case of cache blindness. TFTC JezzzaXtreme - maybe we might find it next time we get to Canberra.
 
22-Oct-13
I tried some different spots to spy it, but it turned up in a spot that was visible from on high, and I grabbed it from there. The cache is wet, as the container is not waterproof.
 
20-Oct-13
Easy to discover but getting it had a bit of a yuck factor. So many cobwebs.
Added a fresh piece of paper to the rotten logbook.
 
17-Oct-13
New log?
 
01-Oct-13
Found this a while ago,
Thought I’d update my finds only a few weeks late Smile
Very well hidden fun search

Log needs replacing as it is a mildewy mush and totally unsignable.

Geocache #798.
Found on Friday, 13th September 2013 at 2:19 PM.
Conditions: sunny.
Current streak #45 days.
Today's finds 25 of 46.

My 697th find for The Great Scouts Australia Geocaching Competition 2013. With just over a week of the competition remaining, I had some leave owing and decided to take it for a geo-adventure in the Australian Capital Territory and Canberra. What a way to celebrate Canberra's centenary, as well as the Federal election!

On the sixth and final day of my trip, I continued the search around the Canberra area before having to head back to Sydney in the evening. Once at GZ, it was a quick find and I soon had the CIH and signed the log. TFTC JezzzaXtreme.

CO please note that the log is soaked so signing was impossible. Urgent maintenance is required please.

Found as part of a wander through the reserve. The contents are even soggier than the previous photo suggests: really not signable at all any more.
TFTC!
 
20-Jan-13
Pretty easy find after chatting with a muggle about birds at this location ( I know nothing about birds hahaha). The log is very damaged and the container was very bent on one side. Owner may need to pay a visit for a possible container/log change

Found a while after a string dangling down from the centre of the bridge led us on a witch hunt. The other comments are correct, though. The log is almost destroyed and way too fragile to handle. Needs complete replacement. TFTC.

This was the fifteenth find for the day for nemo and I on our ride around north-west canberra. TFTC

Should of read the previous log notes as the log could not be signed (sorry forgot my caching kittie)
Needs a little love
Thanks for the cache

Log soaked through, cache is rusted. Needs replacing but I do love your container!
 
07-Nov-12
Love your container but after recent rain it is clearly not waterproof. Case is rusted and log completely soaked through. Added a new page with our details but this needs to be dried out.

No luck for us with this one today. We looked from all levels and even used a mirror but came away empty handed.

13th and final on our trip around Belconnen. Because of the people at the nearby promoting stand, we saved this cache until last. Met up with J+J.au and Baja.15 on our travels and had a nice chat. Then we went off to find this one, as the people were gone. A nice easy find, but log was soaked. May need replacing. Nice hide. TFTC JezzzaXtreme!Big Grin

Nice Cache hide had to result to going to another level to see it first.
Then found rather quickly.

This took a while. Parked just near here to do a series of caches. Had a good look around on one side, but couldnt spot anything. Decided to try on my return. This time spotted something from a different location and went to try my luck with the spiders. Luckily found a cache instead. As mentioned by others, doesnt seem to hold on very well - might be worth looking at. Apart from that, great location with the creek flowing well. Thanks
 
02-Feb-12
#4 - little bit of a drama with this one. big girls went ahead to find and located it. Was a bit slippery because of light rain, and down it fell Sad Was told that it was 'orange' in colour!? Luckily once down on ground I just happened to look down and there it was, nestled in the long grasses ... SL (but it needs renewing) and safely placed back.
 
02-Feb-12
4th for the day nice one ...The lod book is full.. TFTC
 
23-Jan-12
Found with BeveJo whilst geohounds enjoyed a cool paddle
 
23-Jan-12
Was out walking with little red shoes and our geopups. I found this one back in 2008 but thought I would log the geopup through, after all, her name is Cacher!
 
22-Jan-12
This was interesting and yep one of us crossed the creek and looked and looked and made the find...eventually.

TFTC
 
22-Jan-12
Loved this one. Logbook is full though and a bit waterdamaged.
 
Another day caching in the capital, resulting in some 53 finds. Signed log: TNGD. TFTC!

Found @ 1855, but only after doing a passable impression of a troll. I was in the area after chasing a newly published cache, and decided to use the opportunity to grab one more for the day. Initial investigations had me planking on the bridge which would have been rather entertaining for the random joggers passing by, so I decided to pay a visit to the underworld and the cache was soon spotted - if somewhat out of reach. A quick return to the safety of the span had the cache in hand - love the container and the micro-log. Replacing it was slightly more problematic, as the method of attachment seems to have deteriorated slightly, so the container had a tendency to slip after being placed - on the first occasion the cache was almost condemned to the pit below before a dexterous grab saved the day. I cleaned off the 'apparatus of attachment' as much as I could, and moved one to another corner where it seemed to have a better grip on the world around it - but it might be worth taking a look to see if the bond can't be strengthened somehow. TNLNSL-TFTC.

A quick find on an epic caching day. TFTC!
 
02-Oct-11
Spotted last night but too dark to make the grab, had to use stick to retrieve as think it had slipped. Tricky but came back with daylight on our side. Tftc

What a cool little spot , we spotted this one from the right level and made the grab. Based on the hint we are not sure if it's suppose to be where it was and gravity may have helped in some cache creep. Water was flowing quite fast after recent rain . TFTC
 
17-Sep-11
Took a little bit of searching and then the cache was spotted. With a bit of a jump the cache was retrieved and then returned. Log was dry, although showing signs of when it was wet.
 
17-Sep-11
Parked in a strangely designed street. Finally found but the clue didn't make sense in the end, perhaps it's creeped a bit. Love the idea of the painters replacing it again. Couldn't find the sculpture mentioned in the description, anyone got a pic? TFTC.
 
15-Sep-11
Lovely and sunny day to do caching today...Mr Bushies2 spotted it and after signed the logbook...jumped up to put it back but it fell off so he had to jump up again to put it back carefully, his poor muscles felt strained Razz Took a pathtag. Thanks JezzzaXtreme.
 
19-Jul-11
Found without trouble - no muggles about today. However, the log was so wet, I could squeeze water out of it, so there was no way I could sign it. I left a pathtag instead.
 
02-Jul-11
Out on a caching run with caching mate Slink1. Quick find today. TFTC SL
 
02-Jul-11
Yay...this made the trip worthwhile. An interesting spot and a cool hide. No pencil and the log book is nearly full...but not quite.
 
02-Jul-11
Quick find on a fine day out caching with my mate Dunko while in Canberra TFTC SL

Passed by today.

The bridge has been painted recently, but the painters were nice enough to remove and replace the cache back! (albeit in the wrong spot but I fixed that.)
 
13-Feb-11
(11:16 AM) Pulled up at the nearby cul-de-sac and read the description: "can be seen from another level, but you can't reach it from there". Well I loves a challenge I do. Did some recon. from above and then below. Yes you can see it, and with a bit of a jump I can grab it too. That made it a bit easier! Another jump and it was back in place.

Thanks JezzaXtreme.
 
13-Feb-11
I forgot to mention in my log, you may as well enter a "performed maintenance" log since the the log book is no longer wet and everything is OK. That way it will clear the "needs maintenance" attribute.
 
12-Feb-11
Thanks for the tip. To think after five years I was unaware of that procedure.
 
07-Feb-11
Great cache found with GeoDad AngusCS. Really fast flowing today. TFTC

I was going to skip this one buy decided to give it a go. It is a bit rusty, although it has dried out. TFTC
 
17-Oct-10
couldn't find it and my dad thought it might be underwater because of the flood.
 
14-Aug-10
Log book is majorly waterlogged.

Found shortly after arriving at GZ.
Was surprised to find THAT type of container at that hiding spot.
Was un-able to log find, as the book is majorly waterlogged.

Wow old container and small binder log. Nice hide near the creek that the geokid loved. TFTC
