Cache owner is either unwilling or unable to maintain the cache. Cache maintenance includes listing maintenance including updating any changes to the text, updating coordinates, removing needs maintenance attributes and enabling the listing.

I am archiving the listing for the time being. Should the owner decide to maintain the cache in the near future (next 30 days), just contact me (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, I'll be happy to unarchive it.

Found with Liz and Bruce. For some reason I thought that I haad found this one before but I haven't. Cache is in a good hiding spot retrievable with a little agility.

Having met up with Victorian cacher and friend Alansee we planned a big day out to do as many caches as possible. We started off ok but found some of the tricky hides too hard to find - this cache however was one we were able to find. We enjoyed the scenery and the opportunity to look around this part of the cental coast.
Thanks to hoppy_bounce.

Also found it with a little acrobat moves tftc

With a clever circus acrobatic move between father and son, we got lucky. It does look like a rat/possum has chewed on the lid so we are questioning future performance in the next good rain.

The cache is still there and certainly very findable. Thanks hb.

A nice fine day to round up a few loose caches so we headed for the west side of the lake.
We have tried this one before without luck so thought we would give it another try after seeing a 'found it' log after our last attempt.
Went to GZ and still couldn't find it so decided to widen the search. Eventually found it about 10 metres away in a position that was nothing like the description, hint, or previous logs. Also, the log was soaked so we placed a new log in a new sealed bag and replaced the cache where we thought it should be.

To Ministro. This one is still in play, refer my log.

I never realized this one was out of action until tonight well it hasn't been muggled it is still there the log is wet so it needs some attention other then that good hide we had fun looking for this one will have to visit the park in summer

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 in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 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.

Found what I am sure is the cache location but there is nothing there and hoppy bounce last logged in on the 29 August 2011.

Looks like this one needs to be archived.

Will try again

Pretty sure we had the right spot but no cache to hand. Needed to approach like other logs with grippy boots. May have fallen from its hide and been muggles. Also recent bushfire close to GZ. Will wait and see if others find it.

Found once i stopped looking up in the wrong spot

Nice it if was not for the rubbish.

Loved finding the 2 caches in this area. It's beautiful. No one was around when I grabbed this one. I was thankful I had on my sturdy hiking boots. The grip came in handy!

I don't consider myself short, but I sill had to look up for the cache!
A nice little park by the lake side.
Thanks, Robmc.

Found it although I needed someone taller than me to retrieve.
Had been here before, however could not search as there were campers nearby who were there for the summer sailing.
Fabulous site and a very popular boat launching ramp.

Quick find thanks to the hint. Managed to get easily thanks to a boost. TFTC.

great cache TFTC

cool hide

Crazy! Lol TFTC

Crazy! He he

Liked the hide and the challenge this one presented but not to difficult for this old Emong SL TFTC Cheers.

Found while taking geopooches for a stroll. TFTC, lovely spot and got to look at the boats rigging

First day of geocaching and found 2 already

Knowing the hint made it a breeze.

We ran around in circles for a while with this one. We checked the Satellite maps and bingo. Hidden in a sweet spot. It was a beautiful day by the Lake. Calm and glassy. A great days fun. TFTC.

GeoDad is tall! He spotted it first. I wanted to get it but I'm too little. TFTC.

Found after scratching around for a while until we checked the clue.

wasnt tall enough

This is the second cache find on my first solo geocaching adventure. I am learning how to use my car's GPS a TomTom. I find I have to enter the co-ordinates a couple of times to ensure it is going to point to the correct location. I was expecting a larger cache but new I had to look up, though at 175cm I don't consider myself short. There is certainly a real sense of satisfaction and enjoyment in discovering a cache. This could become quite addictive.

TFTC. Good hide and beautiful area

Found easily. Boy it's been wet up there. The ninth of several on my way north. TFTC

Quick find in the dark. The cache was easily spotted in the torch light. There were plenty of muggles camping near the entrance to GZ but none around GZ itself. TFTC.

what a place!

Good walk to track with Dog.. good hide well... thank

Reperio at 1835. What a beautiful spot this is. Darwinian arrived to GZ expecting to find the cache in one spot, and it wasn't long before we could see the cache sticking out from it's hidey hole.

Really enjoyed walking around this location.

Gratias.

Too many muggles camping nearby today to risk grabbing this one. What a shame, I will just have to come back again.

container out of paper, lid had a hole in it

another great cache gps took a while to pinpoint but found in the end. tnln tftc

Fantastic spot on a summers afternoon TFTC

Tricky if you are short

Took a while to find this one.

It was a stretch but we managed to locate the cache easily.

Good spot

found it

Thanks for this one very easy to find.

Found it after waiting a few minutes for a good time to grab. Lots of muggles near by because the boat club had some event on. Good hide. TFTC.

Nice find by geoson. Thankfully he's a good climber.

I spotted it pretty quickly, but was far too short to retrieve it. Luckily by fellow Team Rocket-ers are less vertically challenged.

Great hide. Easy to get but still but of reach. Well done.. TFTC

Kids can be very handy things to have with you when geocaching. Good spot. TNLNSL.

Found this one at 3.15pm - good fun watching my lovely husband retrieve it! Thanks!

Just as well cf snr was here. The other two were altitude challenged for this one. Doing the park double. TFTC

Another great spot to sit and relax and watch the day go bye.

Easy find once the muggles launched the boat.

TFTC

Found at 11.00am GAFF2. Another beautiful spot on another clear crisp morning with the locals already launching their boats. We had a spot of bother locating this cache, as p-pprass originally spotted the hiding spot, but dismissed it due to the 1.5 terrain rating.

Thanks happy_bounce - we believe the terrain rating should be at least a 2.5

3484.

Found this one on our way home from Sydney yesterday. It was a quick find but even though I am tall I still had to look up.

Nice area.

Thanks hoppy_bounce for the cache

TNLNSL

TFTC, no problems with this one after the last one being a dnf, so now 2 outta 3 wasn't bad. Nice hidey hole.

We decided to have a romantic Valentine's Day spent caching! Well this park was certainly not under-used today. There were heaps of people around rigging their sailing boats. Fortunately we were just out of their line of sight near GZ. We circled the area for quite some time trying to find a hint of the cache - but the additional hint had us looking at the wrong height. After a while we searched up higher and spotted a possible hiding spot. Marco had to play the monkey and climb up the tree and was rewarded when he had the cache in hand. TNLNSL TFTC

Loved this one once spotted a bit of a challenge to grab and replace. Great fun. TFTC hoppy_bounce. [419]

Both Mr and Mrs Woozy Moose had fun securing this one to sign the log! Left signature eraser.

Short climb to cache.
Muggle with doggie - gone now.

TNLN. I had great fun getting this one, been ages since I've done that!! Loved the pen too :p - B & M

I'm fairly tall but a ladder would have come in handy here. Eventually retrieved and logged the cache, not easy for an old fella. TNLN, thanks for the hide in a really nice park.

Third find of the day on our early morning Christmas Eve paddle off Morriset. Not for the vertically challenged that's for sure. This was meant to be our third find of the day, but for a variety of reasons turned out to be our fifth stop, and still ended up our third find. Nice spot.

Walked in circles for a while, until we read the description again! Last one we found, to make it 3 out of 4 today, on a geocache/paddle.

Located in a very nice lake side park - obviously a secret of the locals & great for an afternoon stroll. Finding GZ was easy. However a bit of exercise was needed to retrieve cache. SL TFTC

#150
A nice little hide for my 150th. I was out caching with Geotooter and he spied the spot first. Now to retrieve it!!! It wasn't too difficult. We soon had the log signed and cache was returned to its location. This is a lovely park. Thanks for bringing us here.

I can't belive there was no one here on a perfect Sunday afternoon. I literally had this idyllic spot all to myself. That made grabbing the cache easy although it took a bit of gymnastic effort! TFTC.

2nd of 6 on early morning ride. TFTC.

It took a bit more than just looking up to get to this cache.

I'd like to meet any one not tall enough not to need to look up to find this one!

Excellent hide

There's no way I would have found this hide without the clue, or having monkey skills!!
TNLNSL TFTC

A bit weird but I was signing the log, looked up and saw another potential spot. Had a look there and found another cache??? So I signed two caches within 5 meters of each other. Reading the logs, I think I know which one is intended for this cache.
Great spot which is worthy of two caches.
TFTC

We went for a few caches that had not been found for a while..Miss Tamykian had her eyes fixed on this one rather quickly as I was only looking at head height.. This is in a great location, once located she quickly had it in her hand SL and returned it back but needed a helping hand from the old fella.

Cheers

Tamykian

After I finished work today I thought I would drive by and have a look for this one.

The last time I was here I had a DNF and thought maybe that I looked in the wrong spot.

Today I looked in the same spot and found it. Nice area but I didn't have time for a Sunshine Stroll so I will have to come back.

Thanks Hoppy Bounce and thankyou MADSTARS.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Needed the clue for this one.

This cache was fun and I enjoyed the 'final bit of effort' required to obtain the cache. Especially as we did it as a nightcache Cheers Gav [3984]

A bit of a challenge to access. TFTC.

A good hide TFTC

This certainly is a nice park and it was even better for us this morning as there weren't many people about, making it all very peaceful.

Found 14:40. Also did "Sunshine Stroll" which is an easy walk from car park. TNLN. Thanks.

A nice stroll to a nice part of the lake.

Well there was two caches in the area so we thought we would give them a go.

Unfortunately this one was missing, we thought people might not have been trying hard enough to find this one but we found GZ.

Nil cache to be found.

Luckily we had a spare cache all set up in the pack so we replaced the cache with a pill bottle.

Placed back into obvious hiding place and covered with a few rocks.

Thanks hoppy bounce for bringing us to a nice area. Hope you dont mind the cache replacement. We always believe in positive Caching Karma.

CACHE REPLACED WITH WHITE PILL BOTTLE COVERED IN STICKERS....

Found GZ easy enough or what I thought was GZ. Unable to find the cache. Maybe some other time if it is still there.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Stopped by this one today on the kayak. There was a big sailing regatta happening at the nearby sailing club and the area around the GZ was busy with campers.
I didn't get too much time to look around in the area and I didn't find it. Saw a few obvious spots but no find. I wouldn't take this as too much of an indication that something's wrong.

got right there

the only place that it could be

but alas no GC


could the owner check the cache


fattyacid and family

Nice cache, quickly found. TFTC

Thanks for this one, nice find, though there were a few spider webs surrounding it, so after i located it, i made dad reach in for it.

Xx

Nice quick find on our way between boat ramps for two caches out on the water, although we probably should have just used this ramp one for both of those.

TNLNSL TFTC

This was 2nd find for the day. Cute little log book inside. Had a cuppa whilst looking out onto the water. Great Spot! My wife Debbie found it. TNLN

0507 re-logging due to name change

507 Was peaceful when we arrived but then the jet ski's went in. TFTC hoppy_bounce

Thanks for taking us to a place we've never been to before. Defintely helps if you approach from the yacht club end!!! TNLN.

Found at 1450. Geo hubby was fixated on one particular spot until I suggested we look elsewhere - sure enough there it was. Nice quiet spot with great views over the water.
