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.

Should you like to resurrect the cache please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

From http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

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.

Still not there and have had needs maintenance logs for over a year. Time to go I think.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Did not find this one but was very interesting place. Like logs before I think it has been removed because of recent construction. If you can't reverse long distances do not drive down the lane. There is no where to turn around.

Can the CO check on this one please as it appears it may have been removed.

No luck! Brand new fencing where 3 points meet.

Had a good look around, there's been recent council works and new fences so maybe it's been removed? Nice little hidden spot to visit though

Wet log but logged it

Found with the help of Temingi on a day of caching the Maitland area.
TFTC

Gotcha !!! A days caching with geo-cousin Yella Belly. TFTC

The laneway was roped off, I think the farmer had been using it to feed the horses. After the short walk we reached GZ where nothing could be seen despite a few likely places. A longish search did not turn up the item, and we were about to stop when I looked in an unexpected place to find it, out of sight but not really hidden. Thanks for the hide, the cemetery itself is now locked off so you can't enter.

Found it, not at the three points but close. Needs new log

Easy find...opened the gate to turn car around gate held by string

New log might help

This was interesting. One if the horse handlers said it was in there somewhere. My companions hadn't known of this cemetary.

For the record the song in my head - "Fiddler on the Roof - If I Were A Rich Man"

I came up to Maitland today to go the caravan and camping show. After getting bogged in the van twice within the past 12 months and both times being in situations where I was far from help and without reception I figured it was time to find something that could help me out. I do the majority of my caching alone so if I get bogged it's not as though I've got anyone who can help me out, especially out in the middle of a national park... I found a cool product called "Bog Out" which seemed to suit my needs and as luck would have it the guy selling the things had a stall at the show. So I decided to come up to ask him some questions and hopefully purchase one (which I did). It's always a nice sweetener also when you know you can grab some caches from a new area!!

I came to this one after visiting the show as it was soo close. I like others was a bit hesitant of where I was going but thankfully the sign pointed me in the right direction. I pulled off the road and onto the gravel driveway section to find cars all around and people out the front. With nowhere to park I figured I'd drive up to the cache as suggested. As I drove along I was unsure about the lane but tried to act normal. There was a farmer on a tractor right next to me in the paddock and I was hoping for a moment where we could acknowledge each other with a nod but it never came. This didn't put my mind at ease about the whole situation.

I drove all the way down the lane and parked in front of the gate to see more people in the paddock nearby. I got out and had a look at the graves and tried to act normal, not that I knew how to act in a Jewish graveyard... When the coast was clear (at least from seeing me directly due to some well placed cover) I made my way to GZ and made a quick find. I signed the log and put it all back in place as quickly as I could.. It really wasn't going to look good if I got caught here...

I jumped back into the van and then realised it was a long reverse to get out of there. There is no way to turn around so reversing is the only option. Once I got out I quickly sped away, I didn't want to be questioned as to why I was there!!

Thanks for bringing me to such a cool little place. Very interesting indeed!

TFTC cheers

Searched for this one in an area that looked likely for a hide but as previous cachers have said the hint doesn't fit neither does the container description. With a little bit of scratching around we found it. I always like interesting little spots like this. TFTC.

What a strange place to get to! It looked so much like private property, and I had to reverse out of the narrow lane way...The cache I could not find.

Directions easy to follow but no cache

Found it

Clues need updating, search under the bush not near the corners. The log needs updating as it is very fragile and falling apart.

Only found a log but like the horses

Whitecontainer

Down low and under

I couldn't find this one.

Needs an updated description and hint is unneeded.

Found needs newlog. Its a long time since Ive been here and it is worth the visit. Thanks team Wodbats.

Team Annikki

Hint doesn't help at all

Third time lucky !!

TFTC, log needs replacing.

Found, didn't know this existed...

Ttftc contain details need changing

Never been there before. ...thanks for the cache

An easy find with sesblocker. An interesting place we would have otherwise driven past. Thanks for bringing us here. TFTC!

Another quick find with The Neighbs. It's great to see that places like this are still accessible. TFTC!

Had a look for this one today. Couldn't find it and previous logs lead me to believe it's gone, maybe it needs to be double checked and maintained for future geocachers

Tricky to find where the access road to the cache is, especially with the new fencing....and the new fencing appears to be to reason the cache container was broken and out in the open. Put the log in a small pill bottle and rehid on the other side where it has some cover. TFTC Team Woodbats.

This cache needs serious maintenance!!! Also, if your not the best at reversing, leave your car at the begging of the drive way

First find.

Cache is destroyed but log is still here although tatty.

Found the cache but it was only the log. There was no container. Maybe it was muggled? Needs maintenance asap.

No container. Only a log.

Cache has been smashed. Presumably when new fence went in. Records exposed to elements and soggy. Would have replaced but had nothing with me, sorry. Needs urgent repair. TFTC what an amazing hidden spot for a cemetery

Found this today! Was a bit strange at first but found it in the end

Just want to post a note and say this was a straightforward find. Coords are spot on and the cache is in good order. Access was easy once I'd opened the gate and was able to turn around.

Took nothing (nothing to take) and left a yellow brooch.

TFTC and history lesson.

Easy find

Easy find and fun

After maitand markets we stopped in to get this quick cache.. Even though it felt like we shouldn't have drove up there, wish I had of read previous comments as I hate reversing lol TFTC

TFTC. Easy find.

Easy find

So we passed the sign with the note it's the largest site in nsw (what about Sydney?) and passed the kind of broken houses with the racing horses in the back and walked up it the cemetery to have a look around, interesting and we did a big bag of trash in... Pity. Got the cache, signed and left to the next public bin

We never knew this place existed... Was definitely a park and grab (leaving the sleeping baby in the car with dad). Container not as described but still an easy find.

Thought it was a big black box but it was a small capsule, good hiding

Found it not a big fan of grave sites but all done

Awesome, moving the coin to the next one!

We found this cache easily, and we also had a look at all the graves. Left Rainforest Jewel Geocoin.

Easy find!!! Lots if horses around so it was fun it a look

Thought I was going into someones property.
but nowhere to turn around kept going.
to a dead end.
found, signed, put back, reversed, a lot.

Grabbed this one while I was in the area. I did drive up to it, but I felt like I shouldn't have been there lol. Be prepared to reverse a little if you drive up to the cache.

Cool find, finally crossed this one of my list

nice sunny day

Found it!

this one has been on my to do list for some time but I was never comfortable driving between the houses guarding the entrance to the cache. So this afternoon I parked the geo mobile on the street and walked in. a quick find and befriended the pony's. to the next cachers' through check out the latest intern if only we could all cache that long

Another good find while in the area. SL TFTC

Clever yet easy

Spooky at night. Clever yet easy

Clever but easy

Clever yet easy

good cache
tftc

i found this cache during the scouts Geocaching comp

Took a woman to find it

Beaut spot that i never even knew was here yet drive i drive past it all the time.

TFTC. GeoHusband walked straight past this one. Lucky for him he has a cluey wife on his team

My first cache find!!!

Nice!

NOTE: I read the description was a small black box, with a blue rim, turns out it is now a clear tube like container, with a screw top!!

eek went wrong way.got confused when we couldnt find it
went right way and still couldnt find it until we talked to the owner of the land and he showed us where it was!
tftc team woodbats
scooby doo signing out

Attempted to access by two different routes but met with resistance from residents on both occasions with the view I have no helicopter available I'll give this one a miss

Came up to Maitland today to grab a few old and new caches.
No muggles about today except for two young ladies practicing dressage nearby. This was a quick find. I like these little cemeteries but its a bit sad when they're not maintained. Headstones often make interesting reading but not being able to read Hebrew was certainly a handicap here. Thanks Team Woodbats

Wow muggles everywhere. Unusual little cemetery that we knew nothing about. Thanks Woodbats.

After such a long time, apologies, here Is my new and much improved log.

We came down here on Australia Day and had a bit of a celebration at Maitland Park and made our way down here to see if we could find this cache.

What a tight squeeze! But we made it.
After searching through the options (well, we thought there were a few anyways), the cache was in hand, log swiftly signed, cache safely replaced and we returned to the car.

There are muggles all around this place, they must know about this because otherwise, I don't know how it's still there.

Anyways, thanks Team Woodbats for a great little hide.

6th find for the day. TFTC.

Headed into Maitland to do a few things and could not resist getting some caches as well. This was one we were able to find. What an interesting location, we missed the laneway on our first go.
Thanks to Team Woodbats.

Container damaged & log book wet & soggy. Both need replacing urgently.

A drive down a very narrow lane led us to this cache. Who would know there was a cemetry here.
Container broken & log book wet.
TFTC Team Woodbats

Found it but cache was wet. Could not write on it

Found but the container is broken and the log soaked
Very interesting location.

Very interesting spot

Great little Cemetary, Nice Cache, TFTC

Tftc

Found while driving through mainland! Quick find
Tftc

interesting place. the container definitely needs upgrading. weather has not been kind.

Found easy find but log was very wet

Suggest placing in bag

Cache wet from rain, cracked

Found with Geoparents on trip to markets

TFTC

So many houses surrounding the GZ, interesting...

Found whilst up in this area. Unsure what was going on with this cache as cache was empty but log was sitting in hide with cache. Not too damp considering the weather we have had but still damp enough to make signing difficult. Interesting cemetery in the middle of houses.
TFTC.

Found container only in top of post - no log book

PS: notes are a week old & didn't see last post.

Empty container only. Suggest a sturdier container.

Found the container and a live little frog but alas no log. Eek scratched the car turning around at the gate.

Found it late in the afternoon don't know what the person training the horse thinks I was doing. Very easy find just getting out was not as easy.
