Logs
I am archiving this cache due to the unfortunate lack of action taken to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, NTSTROM, requesting additional time.Despite ample opportunities provided for the Cache Owner to respond, their silence leads me to the conclusion that the cache has been abandoned.In such cases, archived caches will not be unarchived, and as a result, this location is now open for the placement of a new cache by another interested party.Thanks,BalayangCommunity Reviewer - Australia
###Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as needing an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.
I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner.
The cache owner needs to:
* Take action to restore the cache or address issues such as correcting the D/T rating.
* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log
* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute which is present.
Otherwise :
* Post a Note Log to request more time if necessary or provide other information..
**Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this. That is for use only **when you actually do something to repair the cache**.
Alternatively:
* Archive the cache, and remove any remaining geo-litter from the site.
In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page to await owner action by NTSTROM and to take it off the playing board to prevent further geocaching community inconvenience.
[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)
**I will check back in 30 days** to see that action has been by the CO.
If nothing has happened, I will assume that the cache has been abandoned, and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache.
*Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*
The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is in good condition, waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

️Cache possibly missing in action or buried by wasp or termites undertakers in mud houses
As a part of our crazy mission/challenge for 2022 kenare, Jenno3 and I hit Darwin for a weekend to grab some caches. Back in Victoria we booked a holiday to Queensland which started the ‘every state and territory’ adventure.

A nice quick find after checking out the cemetery. It’s such a beautiful, well maintained place. Tftc
Thank you so much for bringing me here. Such a lovely tranquil location and I took time to sit and think. Then I watched a 4 plane flypast thanks to Operation Pitch Black. I wandered around for a bit as the signal was messy, but then I spied it from afar and soon had it signed sealed and replaced noting that the last 3 signatures before mine are my daughter on holidays), my sisters geobuddy and a geo friend of mine from south east QLD close to where I now live. TFTC NTSTROM
We enjoyed visiting this very peaceful location and again were struck at the incredible history of Darwin during the world war two period. We read the nearby information boards which also have some historic photos.
After this, a quick search soon had the container in our hands. There are not too many places to hide a cache here.
Log signed.
Thanks NTSTROM

Found It. Interesting spot remembering ...Had trouble finding this one at first. Lots of wasps nests. But good find. Thank you.
Going and hunting for this cache gave me the chance to catch up with an old friend.
Took a a little bit to find but we located it

Found this one after an AL led me down here. We looked for ages for what was eventually a super easy hide. A really nice garden. Although I was somewhat concerned by all the blank sides on the rememberance walls. It was raining just recently so was super duper steamy
Today a trip was made to the Thorak cemetery and the matching labcache was answered. Once this was done, it was off to the memorial area and a quick find was made here too!
Thanks for showing this place, laying and maintaining it!

Wow - an amazing Resting Place, and a beautiful Memorial.
This is why we enjoy Geocaching, bringing us to the amazing local historical locations like this, we wouldn’t have known this was here otherwise:-)
Thanks for sharing this interesting location.
A great water feature as part of the Memorial.

Good little hiding spot.. been a long time since I've been here.. RIP all the lost souls
Enjoyable time perusing here except for the multitude of mozzies after the rain. TFTC
Quick find here today. Beware of the cache guardians! A great place to visit.

While Stuart Highway was on stop and go mode I escaped traffic jam via McMillans road and found this cache just on the way. Nice garden. Tftc.
Fairly easy find.
I never knew this garden existed to our service members...
Thanks for bringing me here.
Visited 2 TB and left.

A nice spot for a cache. I arrived to find one of the staff placing some additional plaques on the wall which was sad in itself, then took some time to read through some nams on the other walls.
I then made my way to GZ and quickly located the container. Nicely out of sight from the staff member, I sat and added my name to the log, before returning the cache as found.
Thanks for placing one here, it's worth a visit and some time to read the names and details.
Cheers NTSTROM.

Caching around the Darwin suburbs, slowly moving through areas we have previously not been and also picking up some of the more recently placed caches. This is a beautiful tranquil place to commemorate those who gave their lives for us. Thanks NTSTROM for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.
Today we explored Darwin and surrounds picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them.
After a lot of DNF's we have replaced this cache to keep it active in a place well worth visiting. The cache is hidden under the right hand seat facing the sign inside a magnetic mint tin.
Thanks for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

Hi NTSTORM, visited this one twice, the first time DNF, therefore returned with a more experienced cacher for help, however, still DNF. Can you confirm if cache is still hidden/missing or removed. Thx
Very nice maintained place . Did not find. Needs to be checked by owner if its still there.
This was my first attempt at geocaching. DNF next time I'll bring a friend to help

It seems that wasn't really our day here... searched for quite a while, even with the help of a girl working here who asked what we were doing, but no luck .

Beautifully maintained cemetery and very peaceful in the garden. Found with iluvtrekking on our way to Litchfield. Thanks NTSTROM.
Spending time in Darwin to do some caching, relaxing and maybe some fishing.
A nice quick easy find, no muggles close by.
Thanks for the cache, NTSTROM.

This is a really nice remembrance garden, we all know Adelaide River but I didn't know they had a lovely area here in Darwin.
A favourite point for location

After some technical difficulties with my phone and some hunting in random places I took a moment to change tactics and this led me straight to the cache!

I took the drive out to the cemetery today for a sticky beak.
The carpark was full of cars [:o]
The smoke coming from the nearby chimney explained why
And no, they had not just elected a new Pope
Meanwhile, over at the Remembrance Garden I was alone and free to wander around looking for a cache.
But not before reading the history of the site that is well presented here [^]
After a few quiet minutes of contemplation I set about finding the cache.
Which was a nice easy fiind
So TFTC and guiding me to a great spot which I would never have found without a cache here

# 3536. Today we are having a break from the bicycles and caching and sight-seeing by car. We managed 20 finds and only 2 DNF's.
We have just done another cache here in the Cemetery and now we are here. What beautiful gardens of remembrance. Like Rob's dad, my dad also served in Darwin during the war, but was actually getting married in Victoria on the day Darwin was bombed. Thanks for bringing our attention to this lovely place.

After overdoing it on the second day on the bikes, we travelled by Ute around part of the airport with Bettyboo3747.
A lovely spot in the cemetery. We stopped to have our lunch and read the history presented on the boards there.
My father served in the Air Force up here at that time.
Thanks, Robmc.

1135 GAFF1 Late entry (3/6) on checking Courage's DNF log realised I had a few from this date of cycling around that needed attention (largely as I'd wanted to get my averages up to 1.9 / 1.9. Well I've got the terrain up there, but the difficulty is sitting on 1.84)
Had cycled up from Berrimah after finally getting Airservices Australia.
Initially thought this may be a multi, but thought I'd check it out anyway. Glad I did - ah the joys of 'paperless caching' when you leave the laptop back at the caravan park !
SO hot up here, for winter ! Had drunk the 3 litre camel pack dry by this, so was glad I'd brought an extra water bottle.
Thru: coins and shirt (TBs missed out)

Nothing obvious came to light and I didn't feel comfortable picking around the area so I moved on.
Lovely grounds, pity the water feature wasn't running.

Found as a part of Team SaintsMadHouse and now that the kids have grown we each have our own accounts to finddd geocaches with separately wherever we go!Lived in the NT for 12 years on and off and never visited this beautiful place. Has significance when two of the names on the walls are from dear friends who passed away serving their country. Thanks for the cache.

Checked this out on a recent visit and saw a family of four dingos very close by.
