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 (next 28 days), just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it 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.

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.

Needs Archiving, as the CO “MadReb” no longer loves this cache or is no longer around to love it – CO hasn’t maintained this cache since the 9th of November 2008!
If not for the generosity of people replacing logs, stash-notes, water ruined swaps, etc. this would a disaster!
Have tried to contact MadReb – no response.
Needs to be archived to give somebody who can and will maintain the cache; as it is a popular cache spot.

Ouch! The stinging nettles hurt! Good hide though!
Needs a little maintenance as is very wet.

Waters flooded it.

Needs maintenance bit wet

TFTC.

Waterlogged log book so took a picture of Proof if Life! Pleasant walking path with people at boat ramp at one end and a family barby at the other.

The flooded river did a good job on this one.

Find this a while ago, only logging now. Out with geo lad. While rest of geo family dancing. Great hide. Tftc

Found

Cache incredibly wet! May need replacing!

Tftc

Attempted this one a couple of times, don't know how I missed it before. TFTC

Nice walk along the boardwalk. Found the cache ok it was in a nice little spot. TFTC madreb.

Nice easy find although Mrs Riddell had an altercation with a nettle.
TFTC

Moving out of town we had higher hopes here after a DNF at the last cache. The structure was suspicious and after a couple of probes the cache was found at 15:45. TFTC

Sorry for the late lost log. Found while in Warrnambool for a few days. Thanks madreb.

Sunday afternoon geocaching with geo son and geo hound thanks got the cache after a little searching

The last time we tried to find this it was underwater. Luckily today the water was gone and we found the cache easily TFTC

A cosy little cache. Thoroughly enjoyed the walk by the river.

Beautiful day for caching. Tftc. Found with MJM

Geobairn and I ducked out this way from town to grab this and the nearby other. The other was abandoned due to the rain, but this one was grabbed quickly. Geobairn was a bit upset that he couldn't play on the nearby playground, but decided that getting wet wasn't worth it.

Found when we came to town for a Gymnastics Competition. We stopped here for lunch & kids had a play on the nice new play equipment. Of course, it started to rain & cut our stay at the park short. There was no pen or pencil in the container & because we had just bought a new car, we didn't have one either, so I've pressed the date & our name into the log book with a nintendo DS stylus.

I really do love this spot, muggles everywhere, but got it clean and easy

With the lights of our torches failing, we had to feel for this one. TFTC

We had come here a few months ago, however the river was in flood, and we weren't willing to wade in the water. However, today was a quick find with minimal mud. Thanks for the cache and bringing us here. Nice new playground for the kids.

Found whilst in Warrnambool visiting my parents for a couple of days! Made the most of getting out and collecting a few caches...

I remember when this was called Nestle's... [8)]

Fantastic job madreb

*Cache Condition ~ Fine

Parked close to the cache and walked down to the river. O how we made a meal of this. Peter was crawling around getting very dirty. The gps was consistently taking us to the wrong end!
Eventually we tried somewhere slightly different and there it was.

Thanks Jacqueline and Peter #7214

A quick find with geo child. I was glad we had a little cover as there were people at the nearby BBQ on the hill. Nice area. TFTC TNL1

Found It. Log book Replaced.


Logbook was water logged / destroyed as reported frequently. I placed a new log inside 2 zip lock bags inside the container.
I have removed the Pulped mess that was the old log, If owner wants it back email me and I will happily forward it on. TFTC

Muffles made this one a bit hard, but some bushes were in a good spot for some decent concealment. TFTC!!

Great spot but book too wet to write in.

TFTC

Brilliant spot for a cache, despite the pink haired muggle it was a reasonably quick find, but was unable to write in the log book due to it being soaked. TFTC

Out with the Blank Clan. (Big Blank, Trish Fish, Water Monster) TFTC

Was unable to write on book, as was wet. Also container is broken so may be reason for wetness.

All wet

8083 Nice spot, cache needs maintenance. Logbook was sodden, scratched our name in and also took a photo as proof of visit.

Thanks for the cache MadReb
