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.

It would be helpful if the C O could log whether or not the cache is still in situ. We did note that it was replaced but also that there have been two DNFs logged since (and how many not logged?), one noting a scattered notebook. We did have a look, though, and came away disappointed. Nice walk so not sorry we went.

Given the DNFs I'm temporarily disabling until I can replace this.

DNF as person before said paper spread around but a red belly black snake at GZ had us out off there quick smart [:o]

Did not find the cache, but saw a ripped up notebook with papers all over the place.

Skippy was playing geocache guide to Moneydork and myself for this hide, we ended up finding it elsewhere. His claim: it must have been moved. I looked back at his log, Freddo had found it for him the first time!!! lol. Either way Moneydork and I got a smiley! Cheers Roma123

A charming little location. No issues with the cache. TFTC.

Found It!
After a DNF here a few months ago I came back with Dazzatron today and he soon had the cache in hand!
TFTC

11th find of day 2 of my June Long Weekend Caching Trip.

This was the only cache out here so Leighside Legends and myself decided to give it a go so once we worked out how to get into the cache we searched a few minutes before finally spotting the hide.

All safe. Bit of a surprise when it pulled out of my hand. TFT

Too many muggles playing near creek over Easter weekend. Will need to come back. Beautiful spot

Large container but we didn't have pen on us to write in log. So take own pen. Also small hole in lid

AH HA this could explain why it goes missing!! No probs, I will replace the cache with something indistructable. Meanwhile, please replace securely.
Thanks ROMA123

A good location, but wonder if a heavy rain may cause it to be washed away. TFTC

Container has been gnawed at. Needs replacing -- no longer water proof.

Quite a challenging hide in an interesting location.

Thanks for the cache ROMA123

A short walk from the campground took me to the cache. I still needed some time to spot the container, although the coords were spot on. FTF on its new location, TFTC!

The area this cache was in has now been cleared. Cache has been moved to new hopefully safer location. New Co-Ords : S 35 31.593 E 138 11.477. Please ensure cache is cammoed when you return it. Thanks ROMA123

Seached for about half an hour, didnt find anything. Compass was going stupid because of the lack of reception. Possibly no longer there

Coordinates changed from:
S 35° 31.584 E 138° 11.467

Coordinates changed to:
S 35° 31.593 E 138° 11.477

Distance from original: 73.6 feet or 22.4 meters.

Coordinate change

We looked all around but I think it's been washed away....

Putting a DNF here because where I was getting GZ was very few places to put cache also debris from a very large flow of water is evident thinking cach might be out at sea

Had two 20min searches before and after reading logs. Camo must be good if its there. Gps all over the place. Great place to camp. Tftc

found with team acca dacca will on a camping trip tftc

Found on a weekend fishing trip with Team Jacks. Caught lots of yummy yabbies near GZ. TFTC!

Nice easy find,great to come back to my old scuba dive site.TFTC

If there is a right way and a wrong way to approach a cache we choose the hard way everytime. Today was no exception. But as we realised our mistake we found a track to the right spot. We searched everywhere including the actual GZ but no luck. We were about to give up but we knew from the name of the cache we were right so we gave it an extra hard look and eventually the cache showed itself. Left an Eiffel Tower. TFTC.

Finally made it back down to Rapid Bay and found the replacement.. Great cache and a bit cold today down there lol..

good to see its back thanks roma123

Great little find

TFTC

TFTC

We had a good search around the area, unable to locate the original cache.
A replacement cache has now been laid, it is now a SMALL container.
Enjoy

Looks like this has had a wander...I will pop down and check this out...until then I'll leave it as disabled

Didn't find, after all the rain of the past 6 months or so,I reckon it's washed away for good..

Spent about 15 minutes looking around but I couldn't find it today.

after walking along dream track came to a huge puddle and after looking for a while started wondering if maybe this one floated away with recent rains weve had done this way gonna go back and try again after the ground hardens up as was a little slippery

Don't know if it was the long grass or it's really not there but today not to be uncovered?!

Great spot to visit nice walk along the creek watching all the Black Cockatoos tearing apart the pine cones. TFTC - L Penny

A lovely area and we enjoyed talking to some travellers in the camping ground. What a wonderful loccation to camp - we will remember it for next time. We found the cache after working out which way to enter the area. Slight geotrail made it a bit easier. thanks Roma123

Great caches. Great times. Great day. TFTH

The fear of snakes in the long grass caused us to log quickly on a warm but over-cast day.
TFTC

Found while visiting friends at the nearby camping area. No snakes today. Left a Klem Bear and some Australian Flag stickers - well it is Australia Day. TFTC

Once the correct approach was found, the cache was in hand shortly there after. Managed to catch some gar the day before from the new jetty.

TFTC

We made this a lot harder than we should have - tried to access it from above Commonsense prevailed and we came in the way we were supposed to - much more pleasant! Thanks for showing us this part of Rapid Bay which we would never have seen otherwise. Mr matmob even caught a squid on the new jetty which was very popular today.

Easy find during our tour around the Fleurieu Peninsula.

Greetings from Frankfurt, Germany.

It was a beautiful day to be finding geocaching...good find!!!

Found on last day of a great campng trip
took frog left elephant
TFTC

We approached this one from the top, so I sent Mr Oldfranko down the hill to find it.
Nice quick find when he finally got down there.
TFTC
cheers & happy caching

A couple of days cacheing down south after our Bali trip - enjoyed the green countryside and beautiful coastal views. Geocacheing is so educational - we now know why it's RAPID Bay. Thanks for the information and the cache.

Found it with Mambozart.

Nice easy find. Whales frollicking 20m offshore made for a nice distraction

Bit of a search by geodad and cache was in hand. Kept geokids up top for safety.
TFTC

A nice easy find early this morning. Log damp so put it in a plastic bag. TFTC

Silly me for not looking properly, freddo found it after I already said I had a good look there
It must have been a man's look
Thanks Roma123

There are days you find the cache in the first place you look. And there are days you find the cache in the last place you look!! This cache was the second version. In the end we found it.

Found Monday afternoon after Sunday's unsuccessful attempt.

This cache was easily found during a short walk along the Dreaming Track.

I wonder what encouraged Light to chose to land here, or did he stop at every little cove along the peninsula?

Thanks Roma123

Found it even though we had some very weird looks from some camping muggles. It was very hard to look innocent in the long grass and shrubs. Swapped a lizard and left a frog. I thought that the plaque said that Colonel William Light landed here in 1836? I can see why they named it the Dreaming Track. Great walk on the Dreaming Track. TFTC.

An easy find once we picked up the Dreaming Track.

Thanks Roma123 for the cache.

Nice cache. First find for uncle Robby.

Found by myself and "How Do They Know?" on a windy day. Our fishing did not go as we planned. Nearly got blown off the jetty. Tnlnsl. Tftc.

Found at 12.50pm whilst trying to go fishing with "Are We There Yet!" but foiled by HUGE winds, so luckily went geocaching instead! Looked down a steep slope because we didn't follow the steps and find the Aboriginal Tribe information first. Thought that this direction can't be right as it's terrain 2, not 4.

Once we went back and did as we were told we found it easily.
TNLNSL. Thanks Roma123. Nice spot, even in the wind!!!!!

Deep grass...and I was a little nervous of slithery things...but all I got was a cache...GOOD!

TFTC

Great find. GeoDad walked right over it then GeoSon took control and soon had it in hand. Well done TFTC.

Found on second attempt.First attempt got too dark and a poor sat lock got us all ducking and weaving thru the bushes for 20mins.
bbq bacon and egg sanga must have given us the cache finding powers!

TFTC - camping oz day weekend 2010.

Found with Dave so same comments apply. Plenty of spiders webs around, albeit on the other side of the track! Easy find in the morning with light, which always helps.

TFTC

Found while camping at Rapid Bay.

Nice hide.
When arrived other cachers were leaving - gave no clue but timed us to seek. Found with ease at which time other Cachers left quickly.
TFTC.

A straightforward find after we read the experience of others and decided to take the low road [^]. Coming from above would have proved difficult anyway, as there was a sporting event of some kind about to get underway with quite a crowd arriving.

Found at 19:10.
We drove to this from the top, thought the cache must have been near the building which was full of people so drove off. However, from another angle it looked ok, so after some convincing from Olga (I said let's leave it) we followed the path for a reasonably easy find by Olga in a place I had already looked, with assistance from Yessi.

With the car left running, O'Cholio was sent after this one. Cache was found out in the open, but replaced in a safer spot. TFTC.

While wondering at what the hint could possibly mean, the cache was found lying on the ground below what is presumably the hiding spot. Well, in any case, it's the hiding spot now TFTC.

Found on the Keeping Ahead Tour 2009.
We had a large area for GZ so I search around the top of the bank whilst Macca searched the bottom.
cache was found eventually.
Thanks

A quick find after getting down to GZ.
Maybe a terrain rating upgrade in order just to cater for wet weather.

A quick visit on our way back from spending a day down at deep creek

Found, from the top unfortunately and so missed the info. Although the bottom track is looking pretty wet at the moment. TFTC

A quick find whilst on a 4WD expedition down the Fleurieu Peninsula.
TNLN Thanks for the cache!

I think I went the 4 star way today! Definately easier going back up the hill, than trying to keep the footing in the mud and wet grass on the way down! Searched for a bit, as sat loc is atrocious down there.
TNLNSL
Thanks

Definitley muddy! Ben and Josh ventured down the bank to retrieve this one, well not so much ventured, more slid down the hill! Getting up afterwards was even harder, but it was all fun and good. Thanks for the mud and cache

Found the cache at 3.50pm. Gee MUD Mud everywhere - my pair of shoe - full mud yuk!!! but lovely trees and so green... No swap. SL. Thanks Roma123 for organising the cache and hunt.

Nice easy cache TFTCSL [^]

Missed this one when we were camped here at Easter. Whilst the other 16 cars went to look at the Jetty, I grabbed the cache.

Cheers from Barra

Found at 3.10pm.
Lots of poeple around, camping & fishing.

You would think there would be no one around. Some couple were having a cat nap just outside the courts. I snuck past, and when I returned, they were still fast asleep in the Sun. Lovely snoozy afternoon. [|)][|)][|)] Out of the way spot though.

Just as well I wasn't hanging out for a Magnum Ice cream (pic of shop included). Not a lot happens in Rapid Bay. Quite unrapid actually.

Clear skies and TFTC Roma123 from TeamAstro.

found by myself with angel_bubi not too far behind! Thats some long grass near gz, glad I'm not worried about snakes!! tftc

Found with 'Polkys Quest' TFTC

2nd find of the day and 1795th total find.

It's not often that we get to go caching this far from home, but as we are both very fortunate to have a couple of weeks off - - -. By good planning or design this cache was on our list.

A nice easy find, thanks for the opportunity to visit this spot

Took: Nothing
Left: Screwdriver
Thanks Roma123 for the cache.
Ian and Penny

Had a couple of free hours this afternoon so took a drive down to Second Valley and Rapid Bay to grab some caches.

Of course I was at the wrong level when I got close to GZ but there was a path leading down to the cache area. TFTC

Day 293 of non-stop caching

Found the cache while geocaching with Team Waldron. Armed with a four wheel drive, four GPS units and a laptop, we had a great day searching up and down the southern coast. Trail06 went down and after an unsuccessful hunt, Team Waldron got fed up waiting and came down and grabbed the cache quickly. TFTC.

Out for the day with Trail06.

As he said I sent him down to find the cache but got tired of waiting for him to complete the task.

Cache in about the first place I looked which seemed about 20m from where he was looking.

Thank you Roma123 for this cache. It was a lovely walk and found it without too much trouble. At least we did not have to climb for it. Very rewarding. Regards Thelly

Found by Barry and Beryl at 3.45 pm
We took the dreaming trail and quickly found the cache.
TNLN Thanks for the hunt Roma123

A nice easy find for my 800th in a lovely place.
Thanks Roma123 for the cache.

The depleted members of NormyCrew found the cache this morning. What a sneaky hide.. or is it just our age? No Brody of 12yrs to do the climbing ... not that we needed to, but we did. Beautiful day, and no muggles.

Lovely area, enjoyed the walk under the pines. Quick find. Took Geo coin. Thanks for bringing us here.

This was an interesting cache leading us through some of SA history. Some one just beat us to the coin!

Enjoyed a stroll up the beach before seeking this one. Found without too much effort except the way back to the car was much shorter than the route used to get there! Swapped coins. Thanks Roma123
