4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache
The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.
If a geocache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance it will not be unarchived.

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

----------

This cache is carrying one or more logs which suggest some attention by the cache owner is needed.

The guidelines advise that the CO should make occasional visits to check on the cache as well as promptly address any logs that indicate that the cache requires some attention. If you can not attend to the issue promptly, then you need to Disable the cache - I have disabled it this time.

Please respond to this situation (or indicated your intentions including a date) within **28 Days**, otherwise it will be necessary to withdraw the cache from the Active listing. The [Geocache Maintenance guideline](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

**And don't forget,** once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; [Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [Temporarily Disable and Enable ](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

Please check - there really should be a cache here. Tnx anyway bowforce

Its time to check on this cache. Its a long time since its been found

Seems to have been a fair while since this cache was found. Had a nice look at the machinery here though which was nice. Would’ve been nicer to find the cache, does anyone know if it’s still hidden?

After caching around Whyalla,Pt Augusta and inland towards the Flinders,The X-Trailers and I are now heading to Coobowie.
Sad to say DNF today after a thorough search.
A great area full of history.

NO DNF for us today
Earthlight and I searched high and low on all sorts of machinery without any luck
From photo prev logged it appears machinery has moved around here recently
Thanks for bringing us to a piece of history

Tftc found with polkys quest

Found with auzzie convict tftc

Good find. Only small swaps will fit.

Great spot

.

with Limbage ...this cache being his 1100 find ..well done ...thanks for the hide .

KarpyKarpyson and I embarked on a sweep of the Port Pirie region today. 30 caches in total for me. KK found this last one for the day. 1100! TFTC

Found It!
What an amazing place! I can't say I was expecting to find this out here! Certainly one of the largest collections of farm machinery I have seen in some time!
I found the cache with no logbook and the lid on the ground. Not on a tractor as past photo seem to suggest. I think the tractor the cache was one has been moved and they found the cache and placed it of the nearest item (in the shed). I signed the stash note, replaced the lid and left it on the machine it was on.
Then I went for a wander around and looked at the old machinery...

A fun little find amongst the machinery this morning
It took a while, but eventually an easy find was made [^]

TFTC

A quick find in a top spot. Found the cache, wandered around and checked out the machinery, had lunch in the bbq shelter, left a GCA moveable here and then continued on our way south. Thanks.

Ausm place Spent about 30mins after finding TC
to have a good look around

Awesome spoy

What an interesting place out in the middle of nowhere. There is obviously a very dedicated group of community people in this area who are doing a great job of preserving a lot of history. Thanks - a great place for a cache.

Nice easy find. Lots to look at whilst here.

Nice quite area. TFTC

Some interesting pieces of machinery here. TNLNSL, TFTC

Took me a fair bit of poking around, but eventually found it. Took croc, left smiley badge. TFTC! Really enjoyed coming out to this area!

Wow - that's quite some collection of old farm implements.

I thought I was going to have trouble finding this one among the machinery but it was a quick and easy find. TFTC

Out this way and checked cache. Also made a new friend.

When people ask me why I go caching, I usually say 'Because it takes you places you would otherwise never go.' Thank you for taking me here bowforce.
I don't normally spend much time looking at the scenery when I go caching, but I spent about half an hour wandering around the sheds, trying to work out what the machines do. I LOVE the penny-farthing, but I can't work out how anyone could actually ride it!
Thanks for bringing me here, bowforce!

Found as part of a two day Northern areas run with Team Waldron.
Great to see some camels wandering around near GZ
Took a few minutes but Team Waldron scored the find

A 2 day trip from Adelaide to Pt Augusta and back wwith White Dog Gang collecting over 100 caches.

We travelled over 1000km in 2 days.

A quick find as we headed north.

TFTC

Another little gem in the middle of no where. The friendly muggle camels required quite a bit of distracting to allow a group member access. Cache of the day! TFTC

What an interesting place! There were two extremely friendly camels grazing on the oval who came over to say "hello". Mr Oldfranko had to divert them by taking them for a walk around the oval, while Mrs Oldfranko ducked under the fence to grab the cache.
Thanks for a great caching experience.

Found with my Schatzy on the trip home after camping in Mambray Creek with good friends for the weekend.
We really enjoyed this one and it was my favourite for the day after getting up close and personal with a couple of on lookers
Check out the photo's Schatzsuche put up

Cheers and Happy Hunting from Southern Cross Caching

What an interesting place. We were so glad we made the detour to find the cache. Historic place, plenty of old farm machinery, 2 camels grazing on the oval and a lovely clean BBQ area. Well worth a visit.

My first find for the day - very interesting display

Out with Jeremiah Bullfrog for a loop of caching Port Brouhton to Port Pirie. Many years ago I came to this hall for wedding receptions and twenty first birthdays of relies who lived down the road. An interesting collection. Thanks

Found as a part of TheKellyGang, writing this as a genaric log as I was a part of TheKellyGang and am now out on my own.
If you do not agree with this you are more than welcome to delete the log.

Found it after walking around for a bit.. Good Day out geocaching with TheKellyGang

easy find for geosis

Wow very interesting about old machine etc - enjoyed wander around and took some photos. Signed the log. Thanks Bowforce.

A interesting place, daylight was fading fast, cache was soon found by torchlight, would love to come back another day TFTC

A quick find!! An interesting and well maintained spot. Thanks bowforce for the hide!!

Dropped the girls at a Softball Carnival at Port Pirie, then the Geoboy and me headed out for some caching in the area for the day.

Some interesting machinery here. TFTC.

found while on dirt bike ride with demon41, quite an interesting place !

Found on second try for day, on Bike ride with Desertfox41, Australia day Club ride. TNLN.
We relocated GZ as original GZ was going to be removed, replaced 4 mtrs South .

Lovely old relics would love the Minnie moline in my collection tftc

At 11.40h, I absorbed some rural history. Took – Nothing. Left – anti roo whistle. Find #47 of 54 on my Southern Flinders Ranges sightseeing and Geocaching holiday. TFTC – Unka Dave

Thought this place was the Gem in the wilderness in a day of caching,these places remind me that I truly have seen very little of this land of golden plains.tftc

What a nice historical overview of a bygone era, country nice and green, hope the locals get follow up rains, TFTHSL

We seem to have trouble with the simple ones!! Do not walk around in bare feet!!! Muggle husband had japanese safety boots on and they were no good!! We love places like this, thanks for the history lesson! TFTC

Muggle tennis players & children there but not too close! Geograndie TTRPhil daughter found on the ground but we replaced it whereit was hinted. T pathtag L TB TFTC Dazza

What a great spot...I never had any idea it was there, TFTC

It was hot, and the flies were being exceedingly sticky, so we didn't look around here as much as we would have liked, but we were impressed with what we saw! Found the cache on the ground in the open, so we hid it hopefully where it belongs. Added a pathtag.

Amazing location. Who would have thought that you would find all of this machinery way out here in the scrub. And so well looked after. Somebody has a lot love.

The cache here was perfect for AstroWes. He reminisced at the ringer washing machines and chip heaters. Thank God these things are not around anymore....

Then off down the road to find the old bombing quadrants where AstroWes worked from 1944-5. He was out there plotting the smoke/flower bombs for the pilots. We found the property and spoke to the owners but the quadrants made of rocks are not visible from the road (near Sandy Lane West). The property owners were suspicious of our loitering but were OK when we said what we were up to. Alas, not a spot for an AstroWes cache...... It wouldn't last.....

Took some coords and found the quadrant/circle structure nearby. Amazing.

Clear skies from TeamAstro. Thanx to Bowforce for leading us down here (well we were on a mission for AstroWes and this was a bonus). [^]

Truly a gem in an area that could easily be disregarded as uninteresting. Thankfully a quick easy find.

After leaving here, I continued west until the T junction. Heading north along Lower Broughton Road revealed a wealth of historical sites, even a bombing and gunnery range!

Thanks Bowforce for showing me such an interesting area. [^]

Wow, what an oasis of old treasures in the middle of nowhere. The geokids played on the oval while we located the cache. Would love to have seen a game of footy here in the old days. I reckon they would breed em tough out here.Thanks for organising the hide and bringing us here. TNLNSL
Cheers & TFTC!

I SWEAR I must have walked straight past this one Oh well... I had a great time looking over all the old machinery though, Bob's shed looks a LOT like one of our old shearing sheds growing up!

Bob just couldn't throw anything away could he!
Nice spot to stop, have a poke around ant some lunch.
Cheers, TFTC.

Wow!! What a blast from the past! As a young boy I used to attend various functions here; most notably the annual Strawberry Fete. I sometimes played music on my saxophone and clarinet at this and other events to entertain the crowds. I sometimes entered the kite flying competition, and I always enjoyed tucking into strawberries, cream and ice cream. I wonder if they still have those fetes here!!??

TFTC

Found on a work trip to Pirie, grabbing a few caches before and after work while here. TFTC

Great spot never knew that this existed out here. I was worried when I got out the car I thought so many hiding spots this could take some time but after getting close I had it down to one object and after a short look around it I found it and even got the Bronze. TFTC Left Pathtag for next visitor.

A quick find on the way home froma disappointing morning of footy in Pirie. Didn't linger long as as a farmer's daughter and wife , have spent many years with similar outlooks!
TNLNSL TFTC

Wow.... Wasn't expecting the FTF to still be here, but it was.... An interesting area and lots of old machines.... A new implement went past while I was there and it towered over these beast of the past.... Thanks Bowforce for the cache and a look at this museum...
