As there has been no response by the cache owner to the previous note, I am forced to archive this listing.

[center][u]MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?[/u][/center]
[navy]Perhaps it is time for the CO to check on this one please.

I am temporarily disabling it 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.

Your prompt attention to logs that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers. It is generally accepted that 3 consecutive DNF's is reason enough to check, see here http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance

Please respond to this situation by 13th January to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

And don't forget, please log an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404 and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 to get your cache up and running again.[/navy]

Hunted around but could not find. Covered picnic table for morning tea!

Spent a lot of time looking, following the GPS with this cache but yet still couldnt locate the cache.

Looked for a while trying to spot this one but eventually gave up

Baby bears didn't have patience to find this one.. So fail

Hate to admit defeat on this one but we couldn't find it. Came yesterday but didn't get a chance to have a very good search as it was muggle central. Spent last night reading all the logs and returned this morning and despite a n hour or more searching came up empty handed. All was not lost though as we did find the nearby GCA cache. Thanks.

Expecing to have trouble with this one but found it quickly from the great clue
TFTC

Again, armed with more clues we searched both GZs again....convinced it's not there ?

GPS was all ova the plc, sending us to both likely GZs, plus it in the trees
Darkness was falling upon us, and we needed to get going to do the 2 other caches along the track
Returning to the car well after dark, I treat some more of the previous logs, so Ahmed with a few more hints, well return tomorro

stopped had a good look couldn't find it

Couldnt find

All three of us looked everywhere (but not in the right place yet).
We know your caches are tricky and clever so we will give it another go later.

Harder than I thought

Yay! Took a bit of a search

Found today after a bit of a hunt. Thanks doheng for bringing us here. TNLN SL

Further away than where I thought, but got it eventually!

Clever hide thanks

Darknstormy and i were camping in Mildura and we had many attractions to see and things to do so we planned some caching along the way

Today we took a trip up to Merbein and Wentworth and also gathered some caches along the way

This was a great walk full of so much history and great photo opportunities of the Murray

Thanks for bringing us here doheng

Logged as Miss GG

FurrAngel (Ex MissGG) and I were camping in Mildura, and thought we would look for caches at our attractions...

We were in the area looking at the local sights when we came across this little spot... was a lovley walk along the cliff face... saw some great wildlife..

Was great to see a bit of history while we were here

Thanks for the walk Doheng

Trying to collect the 7 Souvenirs of August
Our 2nd one THE EXPLORER
TFTC

Tftc we were pumped to find this one

Team effort for that one , took minute to enjoy the view, Tftc

Found with Bogonghazy after having a day off caching yesterday. We netted in excess of 50 finds for the day, ate lunch on the go in the car, but found some fantastic hides during the day. This one had us looking and looking and looking. Ten minutes of patience and perseverance finally paid off. Spotted the hiding spot initially and discarded it without further investigation. Slapping myself now Thanks to doheng.

SUlly and I mucked around here for a little too long, but that's the sign of a good hide. When 2 cachers that are actually looking for a cache struggle, it means that it's less likely to be found accidentally. Some interesting reading at GZ, and of course a perfect use of those anti-gravity devices. Thanks again doheng

Wow great hide had us puzzled till we realised the obvious place cheers for the cache :3

Finally found after an extensive search. Then previous logs gave the right co- ords and all is good

Took some time to find beautiful spot

The Mega Event has come to an end Now it is the long drive home and back to work At least there are a few caches to be had on the way home Out and about with lgoody today. Fantastic day caching. Thank you for placing this one

The cache container and log book have been replaced. There is a GCA cache close by. About 15m. I think poeple have been finding this one after our cache went missing. All is good now. Happy caching.

Also had to widen our search after reading previous logs... What a gorgeous spot for a cache, found with the stewbies_6 thanks for the cache

Spending three weeks traveling from Griffith to Adelaide while caching a little on the way. Spent some time caching today with crusin blues. Second time here. Persistence and some older logs paid off. Thanks doheng, for the cache!

BettyBoo3747 and I toured around Merbein, then crossed to the airport for a few more caches.
A day of varied and interesting hides.
Interesting pump at GZ, unfortunately no cache there.
We found the cache at S34 10.186 E142 04.870. (about 15 meters away)
Fabulous view from here.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 5518. Our second day in the area so today Robmc and I headed towards Merbein and surrounding caches for a good day with some interesting and innovative hides. Apart from being rather stymied by the pre-Christmas Sunday Market in the main street of Merbein we had a fairly successful day.

Parked nearby so we could attempt a couple of caches, this being the first of them. Loved the timber trolley and huge pump nearby. Decided to widen the search after reading a previous log and after a short search we had the cache in hand. After adding our names to the log we climbed the platform and watched a houseboat cruising up the river. It did look so inviting.

Thanks doheng

after reading that it's 15 m off i found this one very quickly. nice spot, thanks for showing & TFTC!

Sadlya DNF for us today searched but guess had to be a child exploring to locate and my tired body just would not get down there today
May be next visit
enjoyed morning tea in the park and walked further along to locate the next cache
Took TBs for a visit

Day six of my caching trip with J+J.au and Wilbert67. We stopped at various caches along the way as we made our way home. Once again geocaching has shown us some very spectacular locations, interesting items and sometimes just testing our resolve. Thanks to my fellow cachers for the company. Lots of fun SL..TFTC

We did a total work out on this one, it appears to be 15 mt from GZ, we almost gave up, good bit of history, great views . TFTC

A lovely spot and a tricky hide.
Loved the big green machine - and the old log..

No luck today. But a lovely sunny day to be up at the lookout anyway.
Will try again next time I'm in town, I'm sure I'll be smacking myself in the head once I work it out.

Log book is full

I had the pleasure of the company of CPwanderer and DennisC52 for a caching trip to Mildura.
We saw lots of rain on our first day but then dry sunshine for the last two days.
We locus cache'd a few caches (121 finds and 13 DNFs) and all in all had a great time, especially on some of the state forest dirt roads!
Yes, there were police involved (twice) but luckily no fines!

After a nice walk we found a cache and had time to enjoy the River view, too

TNLN. SL. TFTC doheng

Nice walk and a quick(ish) find!!!

A great place to sit and ponder, with great views. TFTC.

Grabbed with albida on day 1 of our 2 week caching run from Canberra to, and around, different parts of South Australia including Loxton, Murray Bridge, Tailem Bend, Yorke Peninsula and around to Whyalla before heading home via Broken Hill, Cobar and Parkes. We completed a few power trails and left a couple to do when in the area again for next years Mega event.

Overall a great many different styles and types of caches found. A great time was had caching for 16 days straight as well as camping along the way. Thanks for adding to the fun with this cache.

Very easy to see. Don't think it was in the right place so hope I rectified it.

Found whilst out with Rexy41. Great view and lovely walk. TFTC

lucky i had a little girl with me she found it easy lol tftc

Found on the 2012 Tour de Eclipse. Cache found in the last place we looked, which was as usual not the first place we looked. I left my swaps in the Pahero and I did not have anything of equal value in my pockets. Thanks for the cache guys, we love your work.

Quite an interesting spot here and I enjoyed a wander around. Managed to get so dirty here that it will be a drive through tea again. TFTC doheng

Dropped in to check on our cache and drop a coin off.

Intended to find his yesterday, but there was a muggle gardening nearby, so I could hardly go crawling about to search, so returned this morning and was in peace to make the find. TFTC x

Wow. Very low but found it after hubby crawled around on his back for a while tftc

another find for the hoskos

It was a good river view here.
