No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm 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 this in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Like others i believe that this is not there and the owner doesn't want to respond. Please Archive.

This cache has had several DNF's since Jan 2010. I have contacted the cache owner & received no response, asked for cache confirmation.

As I have not received any response I am requesting this gets archived. Provided photos of current condition, suspect Rufus's Hollow may be the big a$$ tree and the cache is somewhere under near it (ground). I spent approx 30 minutes checking everywhere.

Couldn't find due to fallen tree was cache there before tree fell or after

fallen over tree plus racing for time so shark15 and i gave up after 5 mins. will try another time.

Still there? Please check

How disappointing! Took Burt96 with us and even though we read the past clues and logs we could not find it. Perhaps someone could go out and verify it is still there?
Also, must say that for a little road in the middle of seemingly nowhere, there were a number of walking muggles and driving muggles, one of whom passed us in a truck and scared us so badly with his air horn as he passed that we almost fell into the creek! Will go back one day and try again.

No joy with this one. I'm guessing the recently fallen tree may have something to do with it.

Cheers
Burt96

Searched all the likely looking spots, but no joy.

Out for a walk with my Outdoor Education class. Showing them how to geocache.
No find today. Might be under that huge tree that has fallen!

Cheers.

Searched for about 45min. Couldn't find this one. I was wearing thongs but was able to get down the creek. Looked all over the place. Had sat lock issues in the creek so I lined myself up on the road. Still had issues found heaps of hiding spots but could not find any hiding that yellow bucket. The big fallen tree was huge, thought it may have moved the cache, couldn't hang any longer had to meet someone. May attempt another search with a fresh set of eyes. Nice spot nun the less.

My second DNF for this one, both while in the area for the Tour Down Under (last cache visit 2008).
I may have to consult my informants for a hint for the actual hiding place before next year.
Then again I should have a GPS by then as I am getting close to my goal of 1000 finds without a GPS before using one.
Due to the search I missed the final lap of the TDU and headed back to the city.
Thanks to sigfried for the challenge.
Fine Elsewhere.

[^][^] I thought might cache not there because last found was September 09 so Prayer I try to go there.Got it safely lots of fallen tree over bank dry creek.Good hide.T.N.L.N S.L.

I had to be so very careful getting to this one as it was wet and muddy here.
There were also a surprising number of walkers using the road here too today.
Thanks Sigfried.

nice easy find

Found easily but there was a lot of traffic along this road and trying to look inconspiquous while clampering over slippery ground and making sure I didn't slip was hard. When I saw where it was I knew I would have no hope of reaching it as my knees are shot. So I was able to use for the very first time my long arm grabber that I bought on eBay recently, and it worked a treat!

I was wondering what I was going to see while driving to GZ. Would it be something to do with a bloke named Rufus? Or would there be a hollow something? On arriving at GZ the reason for the cache soon became apparent, and the cache was nesting in a nice little hollow of it's own.

Nice and easy find. Thanks.

Decided we needed to find some geocaches after not finding anything we wanted at the nearby auction today. Took the TB Good Luck Charm to continue on its journey. Cheers and thanks Sigfried.

Difficult location in the dark just after it's been raining, but all OK.

5th find of the day and 1865th total find at 11:20

It's not often that we get to go caching this far from home, but as we are both very fortunate to have a couple of weeks off - - -. By good planning or design this cache was on our list.

A really nice and easy drive by.

Thanks sigfried for the cache.

We found it.... not a muggle in sight either. Love the hidey hole. We have the best fun treasure hunting.... wouldnt be 'dead' for quids! Thank you Sigfried

Nice area and a great day out for the kids. Jake found this one.

Nearly harvest time. Lots of people can taste the difference between Shiraz and Cabernet in the finished product, but can you taste it straight off the vine?

Ran into a massive traffic jam - realised it was the "A Day on the Green" Australia Day event! Driving along, next thing there is a huge illuminated orange arrow pointing to a detour - guess what - that's where my arrow is pointing too! Luckily we left the traffic and people behind before we came to the cache! TNLN, TFTC

Five in a row and loving it this australia day.

A really great hide for a cache - well found and used sigfried. Thanks for the Cache.

Walked along the bike track from the local market. found it quite easily. Signed log, TFC

Found easily enough. As I grabbed the cache and headed to the car to sign the log, the farmer over the road emerged with his tractor and parked by me. He never asked me what I was up to and I headed back to rehide the cache. You would need to be careful at night. Thats a bit of a drop. TNLNSL TFTC

As I approached I was starting to worry about where the cache may have been placed, but found it pretty quickly once I looked. Be careful of the old wire fence if you park next to the cache though...

TNLN - Thanks sigfried!

Cows with Guns was over the olives by now and didn't sample, but good spot none the less.

Took Whistle(very brave I know)

A nice quick stop on the way down south with skippy on a day of caching

Was going to stop here the other week after footy at willunga, but got injured that day, and the least number of gear changes was better, along with as fewer steps as possible

Another quick find on our way to Victor harbour
Thanks sigfried

Found at 11:30. We'd just been to the palm nursery nearby. $150 later we found this cache. A nice easy (cheap) find. That tree must have strong roots.

Quick find on a fine and sunny afternoon TNLN TFTC

Strong smell of fertiliser around here, but otherwise nice location.

This was to prove to be the last of our Easter caching trip to the Fleurieu and which brought the total to 32 (without a DNF [^] ). Nice easy one to finish. TNLN. Cheers Sigfried

Found during our Melbourne to Adelaide journey and caching adventure. Another easy find. TNLN TFTC

We found this cache during a spectacular Australian holiday. Lovely area and a quick find before dinner. L: mardi gras beads. SL. thanks for the cache

A nice big hollow and a nice big cache. Parked 4m away which is always a good sign. Retrieval could be a manual handling problem for some.
Clear skies and thanks to sigfried from TeamAstro.

Parked within 5m of the cache. Looked behind the wrong tree first and second but not third. Thanks for the cache guys.

Nice easy driveby. Left TB Maux Faux. TFTC

Found the cache at 10.30am. Nice easy found it... No swap. Thanks sigfried for organising the cache and hunt.

You always seem to zoom past this town so nice to stop by for a change.
A very pleasant side trip.

Second one for the day. Found at 1230.
You wouldn't want to trip grabbing this one.
Easy find.
Took little Koala and left a whistle.

Amazing how the water has eroded all under the root system of the tree! Definately a nice spot that you wouldn't know about normally TFTC

Found at 1720 while taking geo pooch for a walk.

Another good Sigfried cache. I don't know how many of yours I have found today but I have enjoyed them all. Thanks.

Was hoping to spot a Ninox rufa at this location. They are normally only found a lot further north but like they say fallaces sunt rerum species.

GPS was all over the place with this one, but soon found it.
