Unfortunately, I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore as advised previously, the cache is being de-listed (Archived) to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

The [**Geocache Maintenance guideline**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains what needs to happen with a Disable cache.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article [**here**](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

If you wish to contact me please send an email via my profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

---------

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

I notice from one or more log entries that this cache would seem to be in need of some help - **there appears to be a need for owner intervention.**

Therefore, the cache is being temporarily disabling so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) I cannot see any log that indicates a recent visit by the CO to this cache.

If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) by **27th September,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?

You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:

- Repair and/or Replace your cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.

- If you don't plan on fixing it up then please [**Archive it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.

- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (by 27th September). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will unfortunately have to de-list (Archive) the cache on the basis that it has been abandoned.

Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

had a good search around today, no white rock or cache in evidence at GZ, long time since found, needs maintenance logged a few months ago and 8 years since CO was caching. recommend archiving.

17:32

Now with consecutive DNF's stretching back to March 2017(along with a Needs Archive), this cache is well and truly due for one of those regular owner maintenance visits for a check please.

17:32
We looked high, we looked low, we looked in, we looked out, but today there was no way we could work this one out! We're a tipp'n it's a miss'n.

Thanks for the hunt anyway szandor.

No white rock, cache or CO check for a long time.

DNF for me where is white rock?

blimey no white rock around here!!! mostly grey or brown rocks laid and couldn't find any cache disappointed!!!

Found it while out here in Cowra for Cherry Blossom Festival. No pen today so did not sign but all good. Some little swaps in here, so bring something along. TFTC!

Found it after a few DNF

TFTC. Good views from here. A park and grab turned into a maintenance. Replaced log with a dry page and absorption thingo.

Quick find and sign, caching around Cowra on a very warm but beautiful day. An added bonus as we found pathtag, thanks contactpete, TFTC Travelling slowly homewards after a six month stay in Tassie.

While Team CRuDSS were on an Easter Long weekend camping trip in the area.

Dropped a pathtag in the cache for the next finder.

Out with team CRuDSS for Easter Long Weekend. Lovely day for a cache. Blue skies. After not being successful I thought id take off in front of the rest of the team to secure my first find for the day but unfortunately I missed out when Ris768 went straight to it. I was but seconds from it! TFTC

A hot hot afternoon out here in Cowra and we are out caching this one didn't take too long to find and let me tell you a Ice cold drink is needed right about now.

Found very fast good co-ords and hint wasn't needed.

Took to the coolness of the GeoFalcon to sign the log and then braved the heat to return to the hiding spot.

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there szandor. We found your cache "Stone Cold" at 10:57:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 11999.
[Blue]
We arrived in Cowra yesterday and decided that the nice sunny days would be great to make a dent in the local 'caches. We started off at a random cache and then navigated to the one the GPS said was next closest, and so on. We ended up logging 10 and DNF'd 6.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

Today we spent some time around Cowra hunting for a selection of caches. This was a very quick and easy find. TFTC.

Yipee!! Our 1000th cache. TFTC

What great views from up here. The cache was being well guarded by the ants but they didn't mind too much letting us use it for a few moments. TFTC, szandor.

Didnt take too long to find although not a very white rock. Sent AESPL to find as my legs need a rest. TFTC. With AESPL

We found it! Having a great time geocaching

Watch out for the ants guarding it.

☺

Our only free day for quite some time so we decided to head out on a geomission around the area. We have had a couple of mini tours lately, but today we went all out to Cowra and Grenfell to see how many we could find. Rapidlywild came along for the drive to fill her gaps where she has previously posted DNF's. The weather was lovely and the drive was picturesque, thank you to all the cache owners for bringing us to this lovely part of Australia.

Another quick find, nice views from here.

TFTC szandor

Plans were made with Tanso for a day trip round Cowra and Grenfell. We started the day off with the WWFM event and then it was on the road for us

Very enjoyable day out in the smaller towns. Undortunately we did have a number of DNF's however these things happen and it just gives us more reasons to return We arrived in Cowra about 2pm and I got back to Canberra just on 2am. Was a range of finds and some very good ones too ! We finished the trip driving through Young when we spotted a "bomfire" which turned out to be a vehicle on fire. We pulled up and called 000 immediately to get the firies out. Always fun and games on road trips [:p]

This one was riddled with ants...... we quickly signed the cache returned it and left before the ants got us.

Thanks szandor for placing these caches, lovely area especially on a day like today.

myself and Rapidlywild planed a day trip out clean out a few towns. it was a long but great day. we did find a few that i have never seen before today so i was glad to have somebody who knows what the are doing.
all up in one day I started at 8 in the morring and home by 1:30, once i got in the car Rapidlywild had Stamp made for day which i love apart from i left it in the car a few times and had to run back ad get it.

Thank you szandor

It was a lovely still, and not too cold, winters night - ideal for a spot of night-caching. We arrived at GZ, and there was some sort of meeting finishing in the grounds nearby. So we just sat around talking until the cars had all left, before making a quick find. TFTC szandor

The second of 24 today, whilst in Cowra for what was supposed to be a family holiday. In the end, it was just my dad and I after the other half of the family couldn't come. Woke up this morning with the goal of getting a few in Cowra. Only when I returned home did I realize I could have gotten 5 FTFs! Oh well, more for next time! We parked very close to GZ and I jumped out and found the cache quickly! Log signed and cache replaced. TFTC szandor!

Almost walked straight past it.

Nice views up here this morning.

Many thanks.

found on the way home from the Oz Mega

Found it on a sunny Easter Sunday while staying in Cowra. Another quick one. TFTC

Tftc!!

Not exactly a "white" rock! Tftc

Little tricky but knew we were close at all times

My mum and I found this cache while on my birthday caching trip around Cowra! After checking-in at a nearby motel, we decided to grab a few more caches just before dinner. We were also aiming to beat my record - 23 caches in a day. This cache was a nice easy find - thanks!

Quiet on a Saturday night. Good view from up here too! TFTC

Easiest find of the morning. Very quiet around here today. Thanks.

Tftc. Nice easy find!

TFTC!

On the way from Canberra to Bathurst got a few geocaches on the way

Another quick find, signed the log and moved onto the nearby scenic drive caches!
Thanks for this cache, nice views down the road looking over the town

Yay!

Easy find. Thanks for the cache.

Enjoyed wander around this town/country. Signed the log. Thanks szandor.

Today we travelled from Gooloogong to Cowra using geocaching as a guide.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

My three month Brisbane adventure has started. Day 2, Cowra to Dubbo.

Today, I was up at six to take the GeoSchnauzers for a long walk in the cool of the morning. Then we had breakfast, did touristy and cachey things in Cowra for the morning, then drove to Dubbo. I really enjoyed the way my new GeoMobile went today - smooth, easy to drive, and cool inside with the A/C running. It did everything I asked in a canter, including some bush track stuff.

No 7 of 20 today. Thanks, szandor. I found this one quite easily, and one of the Men's Shed denizens came over to chat to me, in case I was too shy or depressed to approach them. I was able to reassure him on this point.

Easy one. Lovely street
TFTC

Nice easy find

A nice find today. This is a very pleasant spot. TFTC TNLN SL. All well here

We found this cache easy. Being a beautiful day muggles were out tending their gardens. So we had too very cautious to see what we were doing. TFTC

Nice little nest of hidey holes. Houses across the road so a low key search required. Found and gone with a minimum of fuss. TFTC

Out on special caching run with LPUD to make my 150th and a special pick up. Stopped off and after a quick search found the cache

On a special long caching run with Napalm 237, this was a very easy find.

While bikerbuddy found this cache, I studied a huge lizard sunning himself on a rock. He was completely unconcerned with our presence .

Thanks

It seemed fairly obvious about where the cache would be when we turned up. We found the cache fairly easily. Toriaz also spotted a large lizard on the back of one of the bolders. Thanks
