Aarr-koona Peregian Beach South, Queensland, Australia
By The olly's on 14-Oct-07. Waypoint GC16NBQ

I cannot see any information that suggests to me that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement - one or more of the following applies:

- Cache Owner unable to maintain cache
- 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.
- Cache has been abandoned by cache owner/cache in disrepair

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to also prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include GC number in cache name) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash.

Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

[u]MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?[/u]
[navy]This cache would appear to be in need of owner intervention, therefore I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Geocache maintenance is a cache owner responsibility. Your prompt attention to any log that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers, see here http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance
The guidelines advise; "if you can't check/fix it straight away then Disable it till you can." and here's how; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235

Please respond to this situation within 28 days to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (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 so as to keep everyone up to date, or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

And don't forget, once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404 and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 to get your cache up and running again.[/navy]

The cache "Aarr-koona" .
Just following up on my "Needs Maintenance" log. It is now well over 28 days old and there has been no reaction.
Could a reviewer please temporarily disable the cache pending a response from the owner.

Hi there The olly's,

Your cache "Aarr-koona" was last found on 3/05/2015, 100 days ago, and has had 6 DNF's since that time..
Is there any chance you could do a maintenance run to confirm if it is still there - - and replace it if it isn't.
If that's not possible then please archive the cache so that the spot can be freed up for someone else to use.

Regards

Ian & Penny

Called past today and did a ten minute search - with no luck . Will try again after someone logs a find.

The olly's - Thanks For the Hunt.

Missing???????

Searched high and low on the way back from the pinnacle. Some prickly plants, dogs barking, cars constantly passing - eventually succumbed to the stress and gave up.... will have another look when nearby again.

Couldn't find

Couldn't find

This was a quick find. The log is basically ruined so we had to scribble our name onto a semi dry corner of the paper. TFTC.

#294

Having come from up the road.. I quickly had this one in my hand.. For some reason people had decided to squish everything inside the container right down so all I could sign was literally a scrap of paper the last person left..

Might be time for some maintenance maybe??

Found it, log is all wet

Found it

#925 @ 10:06 AM On my way to a job and stopped by for a find. Very moist log. ~ TFTC The olly's

I had a few minutes before work today and had to CITO an item that I noticed last week that is going to be great for a new cache that I have thought up. This cache was in there area where I had to visit so I thought it would just be rude not to drop in for a visit.

The hunt took me about 5 minutes of looking everywhere whilst dodging the morning traffic and not looking to sus. The good old, I'm on the phone trick really helped me out this AM.

Once I had found the cache I took a seat on the big rock and went to sign the log... Well, that was not really possible due to the cache condition. The cache is literally a swamp and even after a clean-up attempt, I was not really able to write my name on the mushy log.

Thanks for the cache The olly's though some TLC is really req'd here.

log all wet

nice one. log book is all wet

Easy find. TFTC

Neat

After leaving our caching mates at the bottom of Mt Ninderry we headed towards the coast nabbing a couple of caches along the way. Quite an impressive rock! Cache was found safe and dry. TFTC, The olly's.

TFTC NOT FOR THE HEIGHT CHALLENGED SUCH AS MYSELF!! Lol

[green]Find #3334[/green]...

A beautiful day to be out & about around this area... Decided to take in South Maroochy River and surrounds today... An area to which I had never been before...

A bit of a search, made the grab, signed log & replaced...

Thanks for bringing me here The olly's and for the cache...

[blue]Cache Condition ~ Fine...[/blue]

Found a few days ago. Phone died before I could log! Wrote in paper log though

Nice and easy find xx

Easy find

Tftc!

Found while in the area

Yew!!! 2 for the day

Found! Nice easy one for starters. Was 43 degrees out here today! Signed and returned.

Out for a morning geocycle starting at Peregian and around back via Coolum, this is about the halfway mark in km but not the energy as I still needed to must the strength the head up to the Pinnacle. Cache was exposed and hence an easy find. Some cover not conceals the cache container

Poor phone reception so my GPS was all over the place, finally settling down and GZ was at hand. After a search of the area, and a stretch, the cache was in hand. TFTC SL.

Nice little spot. TFTCSL.

TFTC, what a beautiful little feature. If I was any shorter I would have had to bring reinforcement to collect the cache, great spot though.

Out in open if you are tall enough, maybe out of original hide. TFTC

Very cute. KATSE

3rd find today needed previous logs to help,very clever

jagged it fun size

A quick drive by, after just getting Pinnacle on top of the hill. TFTC

A quick find with PapaSmurf12

Hi Found it, had us looking high and low good cache, other half got up on her perch.TFTC [:}]

Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.

Previously logged under a team account. Re-logging with my individual account.

We pulled up next to GZ and after small hunt around, Kab spotted the cache aliong with it's eight legged friend, we a tricky nudge the two were separated and our name added to the log.

[After a busy morning at the shops, our afternoon was spent celebrating a friends 4th birthday. Only a few hundred metres up the road was this cache...

The light was fading, and the kids were tired. But nonetheless, a few kids and the Mum and Dad (me) ventured out for this find.

An easy find really]. Height not essential as implied in previous logs; it was in easy reach after climbing upwards first.

[Navigated by the Mum, found by me (the Dad), with help from EM (kid #2) and JZ (kid #4) and SP (kid #3). TFTC]

Quick find with help from previous logs.
Nice little corner display.
TFTC.

So the awesome Ayepeacee and I headed out tonight for some EPIC night caching in the sunny coast region. We were missing Nyssaflutterby, our third caching musketeer, as she was off holidaying. This was our second cache for the night. Our search took a little longer than it should have, i found some random piece of wood nailed to a stone, hmm is this the cache? what IS this? Definitely not a cache, but strange.. eventually the cache was found thanks to reading the previous persons log.. kinda takes the fun out of it if you tell other cachers where the cache is nonetheless, it was found, and we had fun searching, and when we sat done on the convenient stone to sign the log, Ayepeacee noticed that there were some sticky seed things sticking to my jumper sleeve.. but wait.. argghh.. they were everywhere! up and down my jeans and everything. So after a long effort at picking them all off, cursing the plant that did it and returning the cache, we were off to our next adventure. TFTC The olly's ^^

=) Stopping at some random spots on the map on the way to Coolum for a night caching mission with Brightskies and this one was the next target, took us a little longer than it should have really, but after checking previous logs to see if it was missing in action the previous finder had said exactly where the cache was!! WTF?!?! anyway not a bad spot for a cache at all ... and we enjoyed removing some random seed heads off our jeans as we left ... TFTC =)

Cache not hidden or cammo'ed. Just sitting in a fork in a tree, and not very high. Don't know if this is its proper position, but I would guess not from previous logs.
Maybe CO would like to re-position it?
TNLNSL TFTC

Vertically challenging but good for kids

name change

Found on a holiday on the Sunshine coast. TFTC

Geopartner passed this cache to me to sign. Log dry. TNLN TFTC Thanks The Olly's

Found easily, not for the vertically challenged. Nice area. TFTC The olly's

Lucky we had seirra1 along as this one is not for we vertically challenged cachers. Probably the only five or six cars to come past all day and we seemed to get them all. Found and signed the log and returned it to it's place of concealment in between. TFTC The Olly's

The road certainly gets a bit of traffic but we managed to find the cache after a short search. Interesting little area. Thanks The olly's

After some vehicle unplesantness in trying to find my way to Ninderry, I decided to tackle this one. The rain kept the muggles at bay and it was found after a small hunt. It is in good condiitoin. TFTC The olly's

Found after a short search of high-up places Thanks The olly,s

Had to use Biggles of Oz to retrieve this one, it wasn't made any easier by the rather large dog barking in the nearby house and the owner investigating why he was making such a racket, success followed though.

TFTC

Prerequisite: The reach of someone 5'11" or greater. Those vertically challenged need not apply (or byo ladder)!

I found it with Mrs Biggles, who at less then 5'11" wouldn't have been able to reach it.

TNLN & TFTC

Found after longer than anticipated search as wasn't looking high enough.

It took a while to find this, but I got there in the end. Thanks.

Found it with The Lost Bunch.

TFTC

After a longer then anticipated search.

TFTC

Dropped in GC.

Well, I thought, if yval can find this cache, I can find this cache. Evidently not! I did, however, find a squashed black film canister base on the grass ... No, I didn't plant it! TFTC The Olly's.

This one took a while but there are only so many places you can hide a cache. Excellent piece of camouflage.
Cache still OK.
Thanks The ollys for another good one.

Still there
all ok

Had a really good look for this cache - low, high and higher - but didn't come up with the goods. The green ants dropping out of a tree down the back of my shirt didn't bother me too much, but the wasp stings sent me on my way pretty quickly. Oh well. TFTC The olly's.

Found Ok

Found at 0909 a quick find in a quiet spot. Cache in good nick.

We were worried about this one. We always seem to struggle with micros, and there were so many places this one could be!

Somehow, Steve managed to put his hand on this one within seconds. Sheer blind luck probably, but I'll take it

Thanks for the cache

Had to replace cache it was gone, moved to another hide
The Olly's

was wet so took it home, and have now replaced again. Was wet, but i managed to copy all the logs down in the new log book.

the olly's[:d]

found it easy under 3 mins, nice hide, tricky stuff ollys now off to the pinnacle [:d]

This was a very tricky hide. Had an idea of what we were looking for but spotting the little sucker was easier said and done. Had to phone a help line and even then had trouble finding. Coords spot on. Thanks The olly's

Arriving at GZ, I thought this shouldn't take too long
"Too easy for clues" eh!!
A quarter of an hour later I took time out from the search to rest on the conveniently placed shady seat and mull over my failure to find the cache
Time to think outside the triangle
That didn't help either for another 10mins, until finally I spied something that looked suspicious. Yep, got it
TFTC and driveby challenge [^]

Just a well I found the Pinnacle quickly. This one had me scratching my head and I had to use a help line. Just when you think you've seen it all along comes something different! Well done, great hide and I'm glad I found it for my 200th find.

TFTC

1355hrs. Lucky we had Griffo with us. Clever hide. TFTCSL

Out caching with the Green team and found this one. Their second visit. A clever hide. It was about time I helped out by finding this cache as they had done most of the work today. Tftc

found with storkers.TFTH

curtdog

We were going to find this one but !! Went all around and had hands in places we didn't like. No joy. Retreated to fix our wounds from the Pinnacle. Will watch this with interest.

After reading the last few logs and no one finding it we just had to find this one. We are pleased to say we found it and lucky for us we had monkey with us climbing those trees.
So a FTF for us and we liked the certificate for it.
TFTC Olly's

A little inside info had us changing our ideas.so open yet so covered.
great hide.
tftc
thanks to the olly's

had a go at this one on the way to thelasshouse mountains,has been touched up by scrub turkeys,we to could not come up with the goods.
tfth.
(thanks for the heads up on husman place)
we will return.

Lucky we found "pinnacle " in 5 flat as most of our time was busted looking for this micro( time limit 1/2 hr as mummy doing shopping).Had to watch the broken glass looking in some obvious spots but came up ziltch......Are the olly's getting nasty? or Are the dudes getting slack?. Hope its the first one. Will be back for more sultanas....ha !
