From 'ABEL' to 'CHARLIE' East Point, Northern Territory, Australia
By NTSTROM on 17-Jul-07. Waypoint GC14E0K

I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, NTSTROM, requesting additional time.

An ample opportunity has been provided for the Cache Owner to respond, but since this opportunity has been ignored, I can only conclude that the cache has been abandoned.

Caches archived under these circumstances are unable to be Unarchived, and this location is now available for the placement of a new cache, by somebody else.

###Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache.
I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner.

The cache owner needs to:
* Investigate the situation and either restore the cache, or address any other issues, such as correcting the D/T rating if necessary.
* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log
* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done, and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute which is present.

Otherwise :
* Post a Note Log to request more time if necessary, or provide other information..
**Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this, that is for use only **when you actually do something to repair the cache**.

Alternatively:

* Archive the cache, and remove any remaining geo-litter from the site.

In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page to await owner action by NTSTROM and to take it off the playing board to prevent further geocaching community inconvenience.
[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)
**I will check back in 30 days** to see that action has been by the CO.
If nothing has happened, I will assume that the cache has been abandoned and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache.
*Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*

The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is there, and in good condition, waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

Please see [my profile page](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u=Balayang) for additional information.
Thank you

Searched high and low... No luck... Didn't go digging in the dirt, or in the wet with the cane toads

Spent a long time poking in every hole with my extendable magnet but nothing found today. Thanks for showing me this place.

& I looked for what seemed forever and in every little hole… even employed a torch & nothing. Couldn’t find that little sucker anywhere great location for a cache though

Unfortunately this one got the better of us. I'll need to come back again another day to give it another go.

Oh bummer!!! We could not find this one . Onto the next one.

56 of us looking and still did not find it Topendteam TFTC

Took a while to find but after a mid morning walk in the sun some shade and a sit down were warranted. Signed CNQ, thanks for an interesting cache.

I remember dropping into this one on my last visit to Darwin in 2018, only to find some muggles had made thereselves at home inside the building. Hmm, I guess I'm not hunting in there then...

All nice and quiet today though so after gleaning the lab in the same location, I commenced the hunt and soon had the container in hand. [^] Out with the log, I added my name and dropped the cache back in place.

Nice to have ticked this one off, sadly it was too warm for this little visitor to continue down the path to the other trad.

Cheers NTSTROM.

We have moved on in our continuing quest to follow the sunshine. TFTC NTSTROM

After a bit of looking Geo son found it

Went for a look around on a warm day. Found after a bit of hunting!

Great hide

Thanks NTSTROM for the cache

Met up local cacher Low1 today and collected a few smileys, before we had to head off off and catch up with relatives. Was nice to meet you Low1.TFTC

So much history.
An easy find,
TFTC

Ok

Found this several weeks ago but did not have a pen. Returned today with pen, but it was not where it should be. Found it after a sift through rubbish. Returned it to its original location.
TFTF

Another Darwin dnf for me.

No luck here today. Thanks anyway

DNF Too cleverly hidden for us today

Sad to say DNF

Perfect hiding spot. Great. Took 8n a bit more history. Thankyou

Found with GrimRaider on our trip to Darwin. Nice sneaky little hide.

Thanks for hiding this cache NTSTROM

Found with Kittykatch today.

TFTC NTSTROM

Got it

Waiting for a sunset shot, thought I’d trot up here and have a peek. Must have been blind for a while, then bam, set my beady little eyes on it.
TFTC

Found on the ground so put it back where it hopefully was originally located

Looked for a while couldn't find

All a matter of perspective! Thought it would take me much longer to find after the owners warning but was surprisingly quick. TFTC

First cache in Darwin!!! Picked up before going to the museum. Thank you

TFTH only took four attempts did it with petenric, TJTB9998

Found, with geo mates petenric

Great ‘little’ hide

Thanks

I started feeling but then got the angle right and sighted it.

Found after an excellent visit to the Defence of Darwin museum.

TFTC Nstrom

Quick find after a visit to the amazing Defencw of Darwin museum. Great spot for a cache TFTC

I was with a past finder the other day on our whirlwind tour of east point, showing me round some interesting old military emplacements.
He waited patiently inside the well temperatured geomobile while i went on the hunt, which after a poke here and a prod there, revealed itself quite quickly to my exploratory little fingers.
Thanks for showing me this little rooms remnants with a geocache.
Love the unique d/t combination too.

Found it after the second attempt!

Thanks jebjeb for a spot of WD40 and the new log! WD40 isn't something I normally carry, might have to pop a can into my geo-bag. Cache is right where you think it would be, in my case a torch helped (I missed it the first time with my MK1 eyeball).

It was in the first place I looked but I didn’t see it after recovering my tracks I don’t know how I missed it.
TFTC

TFTC SL. Checking out the sights of Darwin. Thanks for bringing us here. The log is chock a block full. Unfortunately didn't have a replacement.

Found it, but had problems to open it. Therefore we used some tools to open it and gave it some WD40, to open it easily in future.
And we put in a new log sheet, as there the old one was full.
TFTC

Requires a new log sheet.

Two of us for an hour looked and we must be blind. Bring the gang next time

Found it!
Took us a little while - unfortunately we weren’t strong enough to open the little lid and so we didn’t get a chance to sign the log!

Here with 5beatriff, kteeeee, wrtagalong and 2 muggle hubbies...off the Radiance of the Seas for the day! Even with 6 of us looking it wasn't an instafind, but we found it! Signed the log CCC. TFTC

Fun viewing & caching with the CCC clan. TFTC.

Thought this would be a dnf but with six of us we got it. Squeezed in ccc for team CCC.

Another time

No luck. Other people here at the same time couldn't find it either

Second trip and a sucessful result this time, after mulling over where it could be hidden. Squeezed initials in a corner but the log is extremely full now! T4TC!!!

DNF. Looked for 20 minutes and then gave up. Sun was too hot.

Quickly found, but no space left to log. Photo log only. TFTC

Relatively quick find given its location.
I was surprised I got it quickly.
Visited 6 TB.
TFTC
PS- needs a new log.

Had fun with neice geo finding this 1. NikkiRB

Tftc. Found after a short search. Left a scrap of paper to sign and for future cachers. Found with A muggle no more

An interesting piece of history. TFTC. Found with GillozCrew.

Took forever but finally found it it's so cute

Needs new log

found it TFTC. Log full need new one unfortunately I have none left

Couldn't pick it today

Tftc, log is full

Too sneaky for me!

Climbed around much more than I needed to, but found it when I finally considered the terrain rating. Log is very full and I wrote my name as 'SB' ans the date between other entries.

Find 1933
This is a revisit for me as back in June I had a DNF. Having time to think about this one we narrowed down a few likely areas. A quick scan still revealed nothing. Then with determination the sneaky location was found. Log sheet is chock o block and needs a new one. All back safe again.
Thanks for the challenge of this one.

looked high and low with tidder and finally found this very small cache

Determined to find this one after an unsuccessful search yesterday, we have success!! I’m happy with this difficult find *cheering*

Darwin Day 3, Part 1:

The plan for the morning was to head up to East Point for the cluster of caches there. I have heard good things about the place, so it was worth checking out before the day got too hot. So, cycled up here after breakfast for a thoroughly enjoyable round of caching before getting back to the hotel for lunch.

The following is the specific log for this cache:
Well, I have made people search for my caches in old WWII structures, so this is just desserts I suppose. I actually had the right idea early on, but I was looking at the wrong side. So, after trying out every other option, I returned to my original idea and found the cache. Such is life... TFTC!

TFTC - nice spot, found in second visit.

Greetings from Holland. Nice spot. Thanks.

TFTC visiting war museum.

Found Ok

Knew what I was looking for just didn’t know where to look but eventually found a nice camo tiny container and put initials on a very full log which does need replacing even though it’s dark I can still see the lights of Hobart in the distance which is really pretty thank you for bringing me here. Heading back to Melbourne tonight.

Had a full day caching around Darwin today. Many puzzles and challenges with a few trads thrown in as well. All in all a great day. Found quite quickly.

Visiting for the day on the Majestic Princess Shanghai to Sydney. TFTC

We needed to kill an hour before dropping the kids to the airport, so we introduced them to Geocaching. This cache looked like a good starter D3.5 nano located at an old WWII building..lol
Well after a quick look in the obvious places nothing was found but a second sweep and the Noob found the cache.... 1 - nil to them..
TFTC
Sorry we did not bring a spare logs with us on this trip.
KnC

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

As per my log the log on this one needs replacing

This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 9766. We found this as part of our 2018 Round Australia trip.

Found this one as I wandered around the area today. This one took a bit to track down but the log is very full and needs replacing.

Thanks NTSTROM for the cache.

Log is full
Nice hide

Found after a quick search of the area. TFTC

spending the day seeing the sight of Darwin and surrounds with tazbud and the geo juniors. found some lovely caches. TFTC

Found while discovering the Darwin area with Nanna C
Tftc

Found it the log sheet is full thanks for bringing us here on a road trip from Tassie TFTC

Sadly a DNF here today. Felt I had a good search but nothing showed up.

Out for some military history with JockOneEye and snagged this one. TFTC

Found this one after a look in the military museum. Nice spot.

On a holiday from Sydney finding some around Darwin. Took a bit of time before I ended up using a new spot. CIH and signed. Good camo. Onky a few spaces left in the log sheet. TFTC

Found with team Fletch_4. My very first cache in Darwin . Had us searching for a little. Was a very clever small hide. TFTC SL TNLN.

Found whilst travelling around Darwin with Kirs3
Thanks for bring us to a cool place !

Quick find with tassie expat while up here on holidays exploring this beautiful area. We tried for this, unsuccessfully, 3 years ago, but this time TE walked straight to it. Tftc

Another 'can't believe that I couldn't find it last time' moment! Put my hands on it within seconds. Putting it down to three more years experience. TFTC

Nice easy find after visiting the museum.

Grabbed this whilst waiting for the sun to be fully up to grab some pics at the local earth cache. TFTC

After a long while of searching we found it laying next to our feet. Put it back where we think is the right spot. TFTC
