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.

There is now a large curtain jammed tightly behind the right side second upright beam, so even if the cache is there, it is likely to be unattainable. Plus the curtain might have knocked the cache out. Unless owner checks and moves, or replaces the cache, it is finished.
 
30-Aug-14
Please check
 
30-Aug-14
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.

I couldn't find it. Another geocaching friend of mine that had found it along time ago came with me the second time. But it wasn't there.
Awesome spot for it though. Hopefully it will be there soon
 
12-Jul-14
Needs to be replaced, looked in all of the uprights just in case but had no success.
 
05-Jul-14
I came looking for this about a year ago and could not find it then. We had no luck today eventhough we had 3 pairs of eyes looking!
 
02-Jul-14
I believe this cache is missing
 
03-Jun-14
I spent ages on this one without muggles and I swear I located where it should be? Can someone please check if it's still there?
 
19-May-14
How long does a cigarette take! Finally got a chance to grab this, then putting it back was just as hard! Great cache though, TFTC

Autumn leaves, clear blue sky, beautiful day and I finally found this one. Needed the hint but, I think GZ is out a little. TFTC!
 
12-May-14
Easy to grab even all the muggles were around thiy morning. You just have to be "invisible" Very Happy
 
12-May-14
I was in Civic for a course and arrived before the shops opened, so the muggle factor wasn't to bad. I still had to wait for a bus load of people to disembark, smokers to finish their addiction, someone to lock up her bike and a homeless guy go through a bin before I made my grab. I had to wait for most of them to go again before I returned the cache. I also threw in a fake "tie my shoelace" for good measure too. SL TFTC
 
06-May-14
This is a night cache, during the day you need the clue. TFTC.
 
26-Apr-14
As we were walking by yesterday the geokids mentioned that we had not logged this one last year. So we checked if it was in the same spot. It is so logging a little belatedly. Great hide . TFTC

Just arrived in town today, set up in the caravan park, now its time to find a few caches.
Had to do a little bit of shopping so came here. City caching is difficult to get GPS coverage so lucky there was a good hint to help.
Thanks for placing this tricky cache wink. inc

Had look like nothing was happening wile I was franticly looking for the cache, sad to say I had to look at the clue, and even then I was having difficulty. But I found it eventually, TFTC
 
09-Jan-14
After a long hard paddle at the lake, we walked to the mall for refreshments and decided to grab some caches along the way. GPS kept messing with us for this one, but found it nonetheless. Had to be extra sneaky and casual about it, with all the muggles around. TFTC! Very Happy
 
08-Jan-14
Thanks winc. inc. I was in the area for an update on my computer and saw that there was your cache very near where I was going. In spite of juggles everywhere, it is an easy extraction, sign in and replacement without prying eyes.
 
04-Jan-14

Monday 7 October 2013 - another glorious spring day, sunny and warm morning. Quick and easy find after shopping close by and using the hint. TFTC.
 
02-Oct-13
A very busy place to put a cache but I think its reflected in the D. Fortunately I had my new caching side-kick with me and between us we looked pretty much like the muggle crowd so exploring wasn't too much of a problem today.

Container and contents all in good order

TFTC wink. inc Smile

Geocache #713.
Found on Wednesday, 11th September 2013 at 12:41 PM.
Conditions: sunny.
Current streak #42 days.
Today's finds 9 of 29.

My 612th find for The Great Scouts Australia Geocaching Competition 2013. With just over a week of the competition remaining, I had some leave owing and decided to take it for a geo-adventure in the Australian Capital Territory and Canberra. What a way to celebrate Canberra's centenary, as well as the Federal election!

On day four of my trip, I wanted to head into the CBD to tackle some of the city caches before meeting goughy2012 who was travelling down from Sydney to join me for a couple of days. Goughy2012 arrived and we attempted our first joint ACT cache. Once at GZ, it was a quick find and we soon had the CIH and signed the log. The co-ordinates were pointing to the wrong side for us but the hint helped. TFTC wink. inc.

Found today with GrimRaider while shopping in town. We thought this would be a quick grab to start our month of caching but it took longer then we thought. Lots of muggles around and we weren't sure which pole to check. TFTC nice little hide Smile
 
01-Aug-13
Here we come 31 days of caching! KittyKatch wasn't too sure about the local but I set my mind on riding up to the occasion. I had to mark time for a bit whilst I marched on the clue! Lucky I didn't have to ride to too lofty a hight before the penny dropped [:-)]. Nice on wink. inc
Cheers,
GrimRaider!

Found during a day of caching with Marzie_ after a Symposium in Canberra. Muggle-deception techniques were deployed in the retrieval, dutch curry actually as I strove to impress the apprentice. Thanks for the cache wink. inc!

Last day in Canberra spent caching with Featherwaite.
He had to show me how stealthing was to be done with lots of muggles around.

28-Jul-13
a good Sunday late-night find.
 
Had fun trying to be subtle looking for and retrieving cache. Luckly not to busy at this time, so had a break in muggle traffic to properly look, then I found it. Tftc.
 
18-Jul-13
Very nice hide in a high muggle zone - well done
 
17-Jul-13
Quick snatch and grab between waves at lunch time.
 
12-Jul-13
This was the third and final find while spending the day in the area. My friend and I arrived at GZ while there was a break in the traffic and we knew what we had to do. We retrieved the cache ok, the logbook was a little hard to remove but replacing it brought much amusement to a few muggles! I even banged my head on the window! TFTC wink.inc!
 
11-Jul-13
Had some business in town today so we swung by and made a quick find. TFTC

2013-06-13 0036 No muggles about this time. Two previous recce visits revealed that finding a muggle-free time was going to be interesting. Used geo-tactile sensor to locate the cache. Needed the hint big time. Thanks wink. inc!

TFTC I was fortunate to be able to scrape this one in while waiting to be picked up after Miss Chick and I gorged ourselves silly at Pancake Parlour. Did this in late April/early May.
 
09-Jun-13
Waiting for someone to get their iPad fixed I thought "I wonder if there's a cache around here?" A quick check and 57 metres later and there it was! I love caches that are just quietly there minding their own business while thousands if people walk past. Thanks
 
05-Jun-13
thanks for Shoobees on the tip for how to find, not too hard to find but very hard to avoid muggles, tftc
