As this cache is regularly damaged it has been archived

No one has found this geocache since 28th July 2014. It appears to be missing.

As this location is continually muggled I am temporarily disabling this cache until a more suitable hiding place can be found

Nope, definately not there

With Tokks

Wasn't too be found anywhere with both of us looking. Given the history of juggling and dnfs, might suggest this is missing in action CO.

I have been 3 times now and not found it. I think its been muggled. Grr... the_funky_monkey can you please check on this as the last few logs have all reported that they cant find it or its been tampered with.

Must have been muggled. No where in sight!

Didn't spot this one - perhaps it is actually gone and needs replacing

Found what looked to be the remains of the container. Was open and empty. Left next to the tree...

After doing some caches in Namadgi NP, I decided to do a few in the suburbs before heading home. Unfortunately, I had no luck. I note that there is a previous DNF. Hopefully not, but maybe it has been muggled? Will try again another time. TFTC

Looked all around GZ and could not find this one:(

One of the first caches I attempted and my first did not find. Glad I finally could knock this one over. Found lying on the ground in plain sight so I rehid it. TFTC

A quick find, thanks.

We hit the playground while we were here. A little bit of TLC this could be a great playground as there is plenty of room.

TFTC.

Lunchtime walk in the sun, yet again. Beautiful day. Quick find, TFTC.

Cache has been replaced and is now available.

Cache has been replaced and is now available again.

I looked for a good 10 minutes too and couldn't find it.

The first needs maintenance call was made in January and a second made in April with no repsonse from the CO. I suggest this one be archived. Thanks.

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.

Could the owner please check this one - may have been found in January (or not given that it was a relatively new cacher) last found prior to that in October 2013 but several DNFs since then...

looked all over but no sign of it...suggest it has walked ...

Our second DNF in a row - we had a good search around GZ without luck.

Did not find.

Believe this is no longer here. May need to be replaced.

Spent sometime here with Radeashkah checked all possible highs and lows.....owner to check maybe

Thanks

Okay, took another stab at this and still couldn't find it, not sure if its still there.

My first day of geocache and unfortunately my fifth and last cache for the day ended in a fail:(

Really needs some TLC this one; container no longer waterproof and log soaked and tatty. Have replaced log but everything needs replacing. Cheeers

Found with Rapidlywild during another after work geomission gallivanting around the southern suburbs

Moving right along with the evenings adventure, and this one was next on the radar. After pulling up the geomobile nearby and a short stroll, the cache was found in seconds [^] I recognise this type of container Although it really needs some much needed TLC; the container is no longer waterproof and the log was a soaked, tatty mess-totally unsignable. We've left a page from my notebook in there for the interim until the cache is hopefully attended to.

Thanks, the funky monkey

It was time for a Friday Night random Geomission with specimenX

This time we decided to head far south and work our way north. We managed another 8.5 hour mission tonight before tiredness kicked in and we headed home.

We did discover a lot of unmaintained caches down here during our adventure. We did clean up a couple by replacing logs and drying out cache containers. All in all, the caching karma was on our side as we only had 1 DNF tonight.

Thanks for a nice find the funky monkey

Great spot - but the container is slightly cracked and the log was soaking wet after recent rain.

found

Found this cache while waiting for the shops to open nearby. The log was completely soggy and wet and we were unable to sign it, however the rain has cleared and today is a beautiful day for caching!

Found it with Gumby Maca. TFTC.

Gps had us going in circles, yet another bonding experience with Binni TFTC

Nice easy find after lunch. Tftc

Thanks for the find - great little park, Joey loved it and the local roos

What a nice bit of parkland. A quick find despite the larger than me cache guardian.TFTC.

Tftc good hiding, saw two kangaroos there..

Wow, very easy hiding and nice park

Out for a find... This one was easy and fun.. J.C, N.S AND B.S

Nice and easy

So cool

Out for a cache tonight and found by torch light. Thanks the funky monkey.Cheers

Easy find while visiting friends. It was a bit exposed, ok now.
Forgot to take a pen, so nothing left in the log
Macgyver and Son

Easy find TFTC

found easily. TFTC

lots of circling around the neighborhood to get here but persistence paid off, tftc

Decided this one was close enough to home for my first find. Took a few seconds to find it but now I know its there, its obvious. TFTC

TFTC!

A quick find. The container was visible as I approached; probably made visible by rain, but I have covered it again. TFTC.

Found it after lurking the playground!

Our fourth find for the day and our 5th cache. An easy find which is what we need to find our feet. thank you

Our first find! We were excited!

The Geo_Junkies clan was headed south this afternoon and thought that we might do a couple of quick caches along the way.

Mrs Geo_Junkies hoped out of the car and made a quick find. Log signed and returned and we were back on our way. I know if it was not windy Geokid Snr would have loved to play in the park.

TFTC the funky monkey.

Nice and quick one to find : )

A great little Geo-Cache for people who like a bit of a challenge!

Found with XavierRainen and Weaty

TFTC!

*made use of playground afterwards *

Windy day, but the kids found it first yay. With jimmy-jam and weaty

First chance to log this one, found quite some time ago now, Good fun running around in the dark.

A quick find before it got too dark, but I forgot my pencil so couldn't sign log.tftc this is number 40 for me

Might be a forgotten playground, but the Roos know where it is.

The tenth day of our excursion out of Tasmania touring from Melbourne to Canberra and return via Gippsland was marked by the best weather for caching. No rain, not even a chance of rain, some clouds but plenty of blue sky and a very light breeze which did not have a hint of the bitter cold of previous days. We started the day tracking down the cache for the Hobart to Canberra Great Aussie Icon Hunt and then we spent the rest of the day in the Tuggeranong area, some of the time in the hills. We had a great days caching.

There were pink and grey galahs, crimson rosellas and numerous magpies when we arrived at this park. There were also a couple of muggles passing through. However there were no children playing, surprising since it was the second week of the school holidays in the ACT. The cache was an easy find - it was fully exposed. After signing the log we rehid the cache more carefully. TFTC the funky monkey.

391. A nice quick find with no muggles around. TFTC.

TFTC!

Easy Find, log is nearing the end Thank

Log has turned into paper mash... We replaced log and it's ready for find. TTFC

Great day out caching with J+J.au. TFTC

Fun Find, TFTC

Found but did not sign.
Log needs replacing.

Found cache but couldn't sign due to water damage. Looking like the container may need replacing soon. TFTC.

The log is soaked and in bad condition. Tftc.

Found it - first time with a GPS too!

The log does need to be replaced - who does this? It is close to me I can easily go and fix it now I know the size of the container.

Log is saturated. Needs a little TLC

Quick find in the forgotten play ground. junior muggles playing but not really interested in what we were up to. Log needs to be replaced.

TFTC

Easy Find, log is nearing the end, TFTC

Out for a days caching with Steeba and Hoojar. This was one of a few finds we made today.

We had this one in hand fairly quickly.
Thanks

Nothing is forgotten when there is a cache to bring cachers here! Another find with Steeba and The Rats.

Cheers

A pretty quick find whole some kids played on the playground nearby. At least it's not forgotten for some!

Yay an actual wooden non cookie-cut playground still exists! nice easy one, TFTC.

Geokid found the cache easily enough, but there was no usable log paper left.

Geokid found it

We thought this one might be a bit challenging by torch light but Miss SC made the find quite quickly. TFTC

Nice hide TFTC

Quick find before shopping... TFTC TNLNSL

Quick find while driving around giving the littlies more sleep time.
Biggo

It was a very easy find. Nice area. The log is a bit torn but ok. TFTC.

First find! it was easy once we had the right GPS, TFTC.

Found the microcache, thankyou, wrote in log

Quick find. Took geowife and geoblonde for a walk. No spider found....had hailed yesterday so might have been scattered. Cache needs new log note.
TFTC
Buzlan

Baby2552 and BatGirl&Co escorted me in the general direction of this one and then stood about pretending that they knew absolutely nothing.
Probably needs a new log, but otherwise was in good condition. Thanks for the cache!
