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.

The wall in which this cache originally was placed has been demolished, and a new wall erected, some two metres in front of where the cache was originally placed. Suggest it be killed off, as the CO hasn't been online for over two years.
 
28-Mar-14
The wall in which the cache is (was?)located has been demolished, and the area is being redeveloped.

Pretty easy fine. Beautiful surroundings. Thanks

The Livistona sign had fallen down, putting my arboricultural skills to the test!
Good hint
 
27-Dec-13
Easy find once we were on the right level. Find number 2 of 7 today in the area with a geocolleague. Cheers!
 
24-Dec-13
This was a quick find this morning, due to the nice hint Smile

Another beautiful morning walk together with Landlockedsailors and their dog. I really enjoy the garden so early in the day - right before the heat and the humidity kicks in.

Thanks a lot for the cache SmileSmile

Thanks for the hint it made for an easier find. The cache container has been around for a long time its so rusty.
Thanks NTSTROM
 
02-Aug-13
We found this cache during our trip from Broome to Darwin via Kakadu National Park. As we did not have any internet connection during our trip, we could only log it after having returned to Switzerland. Many thanks to the owner, it was fun.
 
15-Jul-13
Phew! Got it. And yes, it was a very old tin! TFTC
 
09-Jul-13
Found eventually... There are a lot of holes in that wall! Wink
Alas, no shade for me at this time of day! Thanks NTSTROM
 
29-Jun-13
This was our 7th cache find in the caching run & we found it at 12:12
So this now makes our total find count 6857.

Another wonderful day in Darwin. The cache raid today was a random start point followed by a string of caches selected, in most cases, by the "next closest" method.
We are not sure that placing the cache here is a good idea. Encouraging visitors to trample garden beds is never a good thing.
[/blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: Poor (Around 14 metres).
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Nothing.
Thanks NTSTROM for the hunt today.
 
25-Jun-13
At least I didn't need to actually search the Livistona Austalis Smile
They are nasty trees that will rip any unsuspecting cacher to shreds with their sawlike leaves [:o]
By the shade of this fine specimen I did find a cache today [^]
TFTC in the rusty tin Smile

Cache in good condition. Thanks for setting this up.

at 11:23 on our day in Darwin on our cruise from Singapore to our home town of Brisbane, Australia in the Rhapsody of the Seas.

TFTC NTSTROM. The cache is fine.
 
31-Mar-12
Took a little while longer to find than expected. Our GPSr had GZ way up on the other side of the path than the wall so were looking all over the place for the sign with no joy up there. Looked high and low and eventually found the sign lying flat on the ground so soon had the right plant. With its long trunk curving and pointing to the cache, it was soon found. Then took a fair bit of effort to prise the lid loose.

Found at 4.15pm GAFF1. It was interesting to see the differences in the palms when they are near each other - they all look the same to us otherwise.
Hope cachers haven't wrecked that wall by being over zealous in their hunt!
Thanks NTSTROM.
