No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Its clear from the logs that the cache no longer exists.

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 the caves but the cache seems to be missing.

Climbed down the cliff, but gone, gone, gone. Next time I'll read the logs first

Gone, gone, gone! It sounds like it WAS a great cache

We looked at all the possible sites, can see where it was but nothing there now. So Sad cause we had to go down that cliff to look for it...seems like the hardest caches to get to are always the ones muggled..

cache is gone. saved TB

Quick find. Dropped off Log Book Geocoin. TFTH

Nice spot. Found by Geowife. TFTC

Our first find for the New Year. Thanks tobias22.

Glad we decided to detour into Tumby and find some caches - the town was a real surprise.

thanks for enticing us off the highway

A nice little piece of foreshore and the good hide was found and replaced just before some muggles came along.

Tumby Bay Island is nearly 3km away from this cache, at least that's what the direction finder says on the nearby viewing platform.

Not to worry, the coordinates took me straight to the cache. The only tricky bit was finding a safe way down and back up. No slip-ups were encountered, so I must have been doing something right.

Thanks Tobias fredrickson.

Found sent Fetch down for this one tftc left kids toy.

This one certainly is fishy.

Luckily I had that Mr Walker log in my GSAK.

A GOOD FIND TFTC

TFTC GPS took us out to sea to start with, then found final locations and had success!

I love the large caches and this is a great one. Thanks for the cache guys.

Found it after a bit of a fossick.

Found it, without much effort, early in the morning just as the sun was coming up. A pleasant place to sit and meditate on the miracles of this planet. Signed the log book but did not make any swaps. Thankyou Tobias.

Found at "This one is correct"

Found this one in the afternoon.

Mr Walker's coords are pretty well spot on for this one.
Checked the distance from Hervey Bay and it is over 180 metres so all is well .

It will require the reviewers ( TheUmp ) help to change the coordinates at the top of the page to the correct ones. Contact him and he should be able to do it .

Note to Toby and Mr Walker:
Mr Walker says "if you want to correct the cordinates on the top of the page, it would be a good idea." I think it's more than a good idea - it's a must.
Also it is more than 160m from "Hello Hervey" so that cache could stay. I'd be sad to see HH go as it one of our "nemesis" caches and I'd like another crack at it one day!

The first set of co-ords seem to be about 100m offshore, do i need a boat? (checked this!)The new final co-ords seem to be near the council chambers according to oziexplorer, is this part of a multi-cache or another wrong co-ord, let us know if you need a hand!

According to the map this was only one street over from the skull cave so i went out last night for my first cache hunt for many moons. I, also, soon discovered that the cache was either underwater or wrongly coordinated. I went round to Tobias' house and found out that he was aware of the problem, Tonight i followed the written guide and local knowledge and located the cache. Tobias' written description is very accurate, although probably only 100 metres around from the tower. The bucket was well hidden and hard to extract. I had to go back to the car and get a surveying peg to get it out, In all the excitement i forgot to sign the log, but will go back and do so on the weekend. If you are not small, or agile, take something longish to get the cache out with. The following coordinates should put you right next to the cache.

Toby, if you want to correct the cordinates on the top of the page, it would be a good idea.
S 34 23 290
E 136 06 732
My garmin was showing an error of only about 4 metres at the time i read it.
Thanks for the cache Toby, and getting me back in the game again. (Toby had no idea who Mr Walker was, until i knocked on his door last night)

You might find, toby, that this cache is too close to "hervey bay" for you to locate it here. If so i will see if i can get the hervey bay one removed as im not sure it is even there anymore.

Without even looking for this I think a coordinate check is needed as neither of the coords on the cache page are on the island.
