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.

I noticed that this cache has been unavailable for some time.

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other caches from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we cannot do so forever.

Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it (using the archive listing link in the upper right) so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location.

If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 28 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

If there is a valid long term problem then a note on the cache will be required every 28 days to keep the listing inactive or it will be archived as an abandoned cache without further notice.

Had only been searching for a couple of minutes when looked up and saw a muggle sitting on the steps. Didn't even hear her come so she must have been wondering what the hell we were up to. We sat down near the bottom of the steps and were prepared to outwait her but it was cold and windy and we ended up giving up and returning to the van. Thanks anyway though.

Several DNF.
4 people looking today and we didn't find it.

Maybe not here?

Didnt find but will try again soon

Didn't find it this time but will try again another time

Had a good look around on a very windy and cold day. Did not find but good looking at the surfers braving the elements!

Sick find, broke my geocaching virginity!

Had to search for quite a while before my daughter found it. Well hidden. Look down.

It was 12 degrees today, felt like 8 they said. We reckon it was colder than that here with the relentless wind but at least it kept everyone away so we could have a good search for the cache...couldn't find it though. Thanks anyway autumnleaf.

Spent a short time searching but had no luck. Will try again when back in the area. Thanks anyway.

29.01.14 tftc in a bit different spot to where the map showed

Too many muggles today.

Way too hot to linger while the muggles chatted.

Down at Port Elliot for the GZ event and was asked by Knightyme to do some caches so off we went and JJ52 too.

This one took a while, I had looked in the right spot but not thoroughly enough. Later Knightyme found the prize and came up with the goods. Wasn't too easy to retrieve though! He was a star.

TFTC autumleaf

Out for a caching afternoon with Ismartis and JJ52 on a nice sunny day.

We looked high and low ... low was the winner.

Lets just say that GZ will hide you from the homes, but not those on the beach ... if they care to look your way.

Was down at Pt Elliott with Ismartis for the nearby event and decided to do a bit of caching with Knightyme before we headed home.
This was another pretty part of the coast on our drive around Middleton. We thought we knew where the cache would be, but it took a bit of searching and it was only when Knightyme got down and dirty that it was finally located. [^] [^]
Thanks for the cache autumleaf.

Searched hi and low

Search impeded by arctic hurricane force winds.

Can't believe the time we spent searching for this one - all in the wrong spot .
After cleaning every spiderweb from under the top platform, we expanded our search area a couple of times, finding the cache in a more terrain appropriate spot .
Sometimes, the more you cache, the dumber you get [|)].
TNLNSL.
Thanks Autumnleaf.

Found on a lovely summer day just finished at partners work going for a drive found at last after chasing our tails the last couple of times being here

Found on a beautiful sunny day with Ben7726

Great find by Mrs LoftyReasons. Well hidden. Last for today. TFTC

great find today! what a great way to start the day!

Owl finally had the spot to herself for a decent search and still failed to find the blighter! Perhaps her wings aren’t long enough.

Nope third time trying no luck

Out grabbing a few caches with friends
Thanks for putting these caches out for us to find autumleaf

I was lucky enough to get a phone call to see if I wanted to head out for the day with a wonderful group of people to locus cache some smileys.....so what could I say to that offer but YES!! [^]
I picked up Honeysucker who gracefully allowed himself to be a passenger in Harry and deal with my driving and off we went to meet Mogni of the fantastic giggle, Aussie M&M of the kind heart, great hugs and tall stature and Brisal5 of the split pants.
By the time Honeysucker and I left the others to head home, I had 38 smileys and 4 DNFs but the laughter and fun the group shared all day far outweighed those few missed smileys!

How hard is it to Longboard? Probably not as hard as Mogni made retrieving this cache

TNLN. SL. TFTC autumleaf

Back in Adelaide for work on Monday, so Sunday must be caching day. Lucky for me Aussie M & M, brisal5, honeysucker and locus cache are keen for a full day of hunting and laughing
Another great spot
Thanks

Mogni was back in town for the weekend so a GOTHS escapade to Victor was Planned. I was lucky enough to score a seat in the Gothmobile with both Aussie M & Ms and mogni. We were soon to be joined by Honeysucker and Locus Cache in Harry.

Whilst we search the wrong side Mogni made the find and deftly pushed it out of reach You did it..you get it. It was a test of her dexterity but she did get it. Thanks autumleaf.

A recent trip to Victor alerted us to just how many caches there are down there, so a trip was planned for mogni, brisal5 and the Aussies. It was a magnificent 16hrs of sunshine (until sunset), laughter and adventure and at the end of the day we had around 80 finds, 2 FTFs and a handful of DNFs. For most of the day we had Locus and Honeysucker in tow, who added more fun and laughter to a great day out.

We camped out on the stairs until mogni made the find and then promptly upped the difficulty level by knocking it further away. Eventually the cache was recovered and all was good. TFTC autumleaf.

I had a hairdressers appointment at Middleton and, as we were early, got to do a few caches in the area before hand.
Its a lovely area. Today the water is wild and woolly with strong southerly winds. Looks quite dramatic.
Left Peko-chan Traveller.
Thanks autumleaf.

Found with 3fairydusters forgot to sign log

Spent a bit of time searching for this one inbetween muggle surfers. TFTC

Well that was a bit tricky! Helped to have long arms!! Took 1c left blue sea jewel. Tftc.

Well hidden but got there in the end! Read earlier logs for help.

Beautiful spot. Co-ordinates jumped around a bit.

We found it! Coordinates a bit off. Got it eventually

Too many weeds for us, so watched the whales instead

Finally, found this one where I should have looked the first two times I came here.. Anyways, TFTC!

GeoDad found first of the day

searched high and low but got rained out on this one

Nearly gave up, then found the site! tftc! Took TB

Found with wreckerrickets... While doing g some whale watching

No luck with this one try in the morn

Used to live round here. Live it. TFTC! TN L Travel Bug.

Will try again tomorrow.

Took quite a while to find since the coordinates were about 2m off the location, the new location is 2m east and a bit down. TFTC

couldnt find it but will have a thorough look soon

Today was the last of our short trip over from Vic, so bogonghazy and I were keen to clean up round Victor Harbor as much as possible before heading off for the journey home to Ballarat. This one had us searching for 15 mins and we still came up empty handed. Thanks for the hunt though autumleaf.

have searched for this one a few times with no luck. Saw the recent logged find so thought I would give it another go. Had a long frustrating look again with no luck. Rang a friend for confirmation of where I should be focussing my attention to. Found it easily then, how the heck did I not find it earlier!!!
TFTC

Surprisingly easy night find for Shakey given the previous DNF's. Co-ords a bit off (2m east and lower down) but in a position where you would expect for the given situation.
Took 2c left 20c
TFTC

hum...nothing at gz if gps is correct. There are a few obvious places where the cache could be but not today..

Was getting cold and windy and geo kids had had enough ... We'll be back ! Great photo spot : D

Afraid its a DNF for us today got very wet as it rained .

Found it No. 6104 ... quick find ... TNLN ... TFTC autumleaf

got it going around in cycles for a lonf while, thanks

So many muggles, but all staying up the top leaving me to get on with things. Took Mini TB for a visit for the Barossa, replaced plastic bag. Thanks for the views!

Been here before so thought we would make quick drop off for another tb we had been carrying. Cache had moved a bit but still an easy find.

A nice diversion on the way home! Thanks

A windy freezing day but managed to find it pretty quickly. TFTC.

Grandson spotted this one on a windy wild day at Middleton,. Nice to get back to the warmth of the car, TFTC autumnleaf

In the area with snoopy_lou for easter long weekend. Muggles Everywhere!!! Quick find and retrieval but had a little wait to return cache, pretended to stand for a few photos ontop and on the bottom of the stair case while muggles admired the surfer's and the views

Sneekypeak and I had to time this one carefully. There were lots of muggles about surfing, playing on the sand and standing above admiring the views. We made the most of the location and admired the views and took some happy snaps whilst waiting for a muggle to disperse. Signed log and returned cache to location very carefully ensuring we were not seen.
TFTC autumleaf

Thanks looking good for today's finds 1st one ticked for the day

Nice! Was exposed to potential muggle so hid it better. took crab, left bracelet.

Took a while to find - took dolphin and left crab !

Why didn't I see this cache when I was here several months ago? Okay that visit was towards the end of a long bike ride from Goolwa to Mt Compass and back to Goolwa and the weather was starting to turn dirty.

Today the cache was in hand quickly, at least I was having more fun that those attempting a surf - to quote one surfer I spoke to 'It's c.... out there, there's no power in the waves and choppy as heel.'

Thanks for the cache Autumnleaf.

Great views today! Thanks for the regular sized cache autumleaf.

Well sort of ... Was searching and were beaten to the cache by a few steps by fellow gc'rs

Found by D.

The 4Bs were out looking, but too busy playing with the 'fur balls' to find!

SL TFTC

One of my favorite spots to surf as a kid. Not a great day for it today, although still some trying!

Went straight to this one. Left nothing took nothing. Great day for a ride!!

Great hide and found on the second go. Excellent view of the bays. TNLNSL TFTC

Found it with my geo/fishing/camping/4WD'ing pal "How Do They Know?". An easy find though took longer than it should have. Enjoyed watching some kite surfers in the distance. Thanks autumleaf.

We were suprised when the cache was found. I went to it immediately due to spot on co-ords, but a quick feel got me pulling away quickly. Walked around to other likely spots but ended up back at the first place. TFTC autumleaf. TNLNSL

Found today after a short search around the boardwalk.
Lovely day and no surfing muggles to bother us.

Cheers and happy caching.

sooo sad cos this was the only DNF for the day! lots of surfie muggles so enjoyed watching them!!

Nice quick find on a lovely day.
I reckon the surfies trudging back to their cars must have had too much salt in their eyes for this not to be discovered. I put it back undewr more discreet cover.
Duly found and signed.

Out mugged, preventing a proper search.

Got muggled! Too many muggles and one of them was sitting pretty much on top of where the GPS wanted me to go. Will come back when it isn't busy

A quick find after all the whale watchers had gone home. Nearly dark and the beach was empty. TNLN TFTC

Quick find with Roseworthy clan. TFTC

Quick find with Schoffy. TFTC

This is the 962nd find for WazzaAndWenches

Day six and our last day in Victor Harbor. Towards home tomorrow.
Today we're having a drive around the Goolwa and Murray Mouth areas.

After waiting for muggle dad and son to move we made a quick discovery before the next group of muggles arrived to take in the view of the large waves.

Thanks Autumnleaf

Had to dodge a few muggles but we managed the find easy enough. SL TNLN TFTC

Found at dusk

Late afternoon find not a soul in sight took snake left blue dino. cache nice and dry but put log into zip bag just in case.TFTC

Had to try alternative approach to reach cache but finally got it. liked the look of the glitter so retrieved it and left warrior figure.

Found while staying at Middleton over Easter

Appropriately, found during a longboard competition. Golf ball has gone but tennis ball has appeared. TFTC.

An easy find, too bad the water is all muddy from the fresh water coming from the Murray Mouth..
Thanks for the cache.
Lead 'n Lace.

Nearly missed this one because we needed to walk the steps

A quick find while enjoying a days ride along the Encounter Bikeway. Not too many boards out there late in the day.

TFTC

The last cache for the day. Perfect, because it was a bit more challenging to find, and we were rewarded with a TB. Thanks!

Final find of the day, which was a most satisfying Saturday. Interesting spot with multitudes of locations to hide things. Trusted the GPS and was within a metre of GZ. TFTC autumnleaf

#484 7th of 8 in a run from Mt Barker to Victor Harbour. Took the opportunity to have an enjoyable stroll along the beach and admire all the colourful shells - beautiful day for it. Left TB 'Travel Bug Dog Tag' (Bike). Thanks autumleaf.

Found on a big day of caching. We finished off Victor Pt Elliot and Midlleton.
