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.

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.

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.

The dingo stole this cache.

Big fat dnf.

Looked into every possible log orifice within 20m of coords.

Ok, should have read the previous entries b4 attempting to find this one.

Time for this one to be taken off the grid!

Nope, we looked for ages, we could not find a cache here.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Day 20 of 23 of our caching trip to Alice Springs, finding 300 caches in total.

Today we explored the Wilpena Pound area.

The rain was fairly constant and the fog well settled so we went for a drive this morning. This cache hasn't been found in almost a year except what I believe is a mislog for Solar Powered Light not this cache, based on the friend not logging that cache on the same date not this cache.

Time for a check?

Too well hidden for me

found with Darzee Di on our way to the OZ Mega in Alice Springs.tftc Adrian Mc

Another DNF to add to the growing list. I think this one needs to be looked at from the CO unless it is very well hidden

This is a great spot for a cache but being the fifth DNF on this cach perhaps it should be checked out or archived.

Last find is three months back..
I had a very good look around, guess, it's gone.

But, as it's 'only' three months, no nm log for now..

Lots of bark everywhere! Poked and looked in and under every log and turned over every bit of bark but no joy. Good spot for cache tho' - got a photo of the trees near sunset. Nice.

Stopped here on our way back to Rawnsley Park but didn't have any luck. According to the hint there was an obvious spot but no cache. I think this one needs to be checked. [?]
Thanks for bringing us to see these great trees Adrian Mc.

Where the heck is it?! No luck but good seeing the famous tree

Found this fantastic tree, cached it, photographed it, and admired it. SL TFTC

Our 1000 th find, so this is definitely worth a favourite point because of its own significance and our milestone.

Travelling from Maryborough QLD to Bindoon WA via NSW, VIC, SA and the Nullarbor towing our home on wheels. We are looking for out of the way places to visit and camp along the way and are staying at Mount Little Station north of Hawker for a few days. A lovely sunny day out to tour the beautiful Flinders Ranges and pick up a few caches along the way, and learn some of the history of this area. TFTC

Well it rained overnight and the tracks are very slick. Not too good for our 2wd vehicle. Glad we are not still in Farina, as we wouldn't get out of there. Picked up this cache this morning. Thanks.

We stayed at Rawnsley Park Station and decided to do the 4x4 day trip they offer. Lucky us we were the only ones on that days trip, so quickly asked the tour guide if he wouldn't mind stopping at a few random places. As it turned out quite a few of the caches we did today were on his schedule anyway. Our guide was so interested he even signed up as a member while we were having lunch.

Had a great day and would recommend these tours to anyone as you learn so much more when travelling with someone who knows the area. TFTC

Found with 0319. TFTC!

Quick and easy find.
TFTC!

Quick find. TFTC.

After a morning at the Wilpena Station and Sacred Canyon we pulled in here to get some photos of the famous Cazneaux Tree. I love it when there is a cache near a unique landmark. TFTC..

My favorite spot of the day! What a beautiful place. These trees are amazing. Made a lot of pictures at the morning sun. Perfect. Thanks a lot from a german traveller
Ingo

A nice old tree with a great backdrop. I also had a view of some emus near here. TFTC Adrian Mc.

On holidays and staying at Rawnsley Park. Having a good time looking around and caching as well. Unfortunately my beloved Garmin gave it's last co-ords before it died. This was the last cache found before leaving tomorrow and being unable to continue caching on my way home. Now I must get another to take its place and continue this enjoying past time.

A quick find while in the area. Tftcsl

#1606 With sun fast dropping towards the western horizon, this was a lovely time to visit this site with a breathtaking backdrop. Another interesting and unique bit of local history, Tftc and bringing us to this location Adrian Mc.

Found whilst exploring the beautiful Flinders Ranges
Four of us along today for a 4 day camping trip
Cool spot, great cache
TFTC Adrian Mc

We are heading across to the Flinders Ranges on a 2 week sojourn. We don't intend to do a lot of caching but will try and pick up a few along the way.

We are staying in Wilpena Pound for 2 nights in a real room and then we will decide whether to camp there or further into the park. After our scenic flight was canceled we headed off to do the round trip to Parachilna collecting a few caches along the way. Terrible weather - rainy, sleety and very cold so we didn't appreciate the locations quite as much as we would have usually.

We didn't really undertand the significance of the tree until we were at the right angle - enduring indeed.

Found on a wet wet day

Amazing Tree:) TFTC:) TB out!

We decided to have a rest day on our road trip since we had done three massive hikes in the days previous, St. Mary's, Mt. Abrupt and Edeowie Gorge. So after cleaning out the car and reorganising everything we went for a drive to some of the touritsty places that didn't involve much effort to get to. Driving past we saw a sign pointing to the tree so we stopped to have a look at it and was glad to see a cache nearby.
This is a very impressive tree and the cache was easily found.
TFTC!!!

After a good couple of decent hikes, today was our rest day where we had our first shower of the trip and just cleaned up and de-cluttered the car. After becoming bored at Wilpena campground, we decided to go check out the Sacred Canyon (which in all honesty is pretty disappointing compared with the rest of the Flinders). This was a quick grab for us. TFTC!!!

Found today, full log later

TREE !! Latest in the arvo ,there where lots and lots of ROOS all shapes and sizers.Thanks Adrian Mc

What a wonderful bit of the world to visit. I'm believe I've seen some of the artwork featuring this tree.
Ingy and I had great fun trying to work out how to pronounce the French name. I'm pretty sure we never got it right.

2:03 pm - Find #1772

A lovely location and the cache found in the first place Owl looked. Got to love that!

Caching the Flinders with Dr Owl this weekend. We visited this famous tree which also had stunning views of Wilpena Pound to enjoy.

Decided this was a nice place to leave the snowman TB.

TFTC Adrian Mc

Tftc. Sl. Thanks for showing us this great spot.

Beautiful find on the way out of Wilpena Pound TFTC

Photo worthy trees all around. Must have an impressive sight 50 years ago when they were at their prime. A nice cache to finish our stay in the Flinders Ranges. TFTC.

Found while on Easter getaway with Redmond. TFTC

Found with Lumpyjrb while heading north. Such a great old tree. A nice quick find. Picked up TB. TFTC.

Lovely tree! Tftc

Found with the owner at the end of a tiring but amazing Flinders cache trip.
Left Buddha TB to continue his journeys elsewhere.
TFTC

Great find tftc

Quick easy find. Good hiding spot, cache and contents in good shape. Been to location of tree pre caching days. Tftc.

Glad the photo endures as well as these magnificent trees. TFTC

What a great cache name. These trees endure even in the most difficult terrain and damage. TFTC

Seit 2010 gehörte ich zum Team_Germany. Es waren sechs tolle Jahre mit Cache- Erfahrungen fast in aller Welt, wo wir unsere Reiselust und unser Hobby verbinden konnten. Nun geht das Team getrennte Wege und wurde am 19.07.16 ins Archiv geschickt. In diesem Zuge logge ich nun unsere früheren Funde nach, die ich als Team_Germany mit unterzeichnet habe. Genaueres ist in dem jeweiligen Log ja noch nachzulesen. In diesem Sinne auf ein Neues!

Found it.

Compas went all over the place, lots of muffles arriving but eventually got it. Scene was just made to be photographed - so beautiful. TFTF

Wahoo! I love Eucalypts especially Camaldulensis, I think that comes from growing up on the Murray in Victoria I was fascinated by their contorted ways and have often been subjects of my amateur photography so to visit the Cazneaux tree to do a cache was a bit of a two for one deal for me. Attached is a photo of a beauty I marvelled at across the road at Sacred Canyon (I can't believe I have controlled enough to only upload on pic I have taken dozens of shots in the area in the last few days of contorted trees) - we had lunch there and were reminded why they can often also be called widow makers - a tree close to us dropped a huge branch within seconds - NEVER park or camp under them Happy Caching TFTC TNLN TB'sV

It certainly is a fantastic tree and I took some photos. TFTC

TFTC great day for caching

An easy find on the way back to the camp ground after visiting Sacred Canyon. TNLNSL. Thanks Adrian Mc for the cache.

We only spent two days here in Flinders Ranges and liked it very much! Found this one during our second day.
TFTC!

I see a painting of this tree every time I'm in the Flinders Uni library so it was great to see it in person - and take some photos of course! TFTC Adrian Mc

Found while heading to Blinman with Demon41 for our annual Dirt Bike ride, its stood the test of time ! thanks Adrian Mc

What a fantastic tree. Love it. Tftc

Riding the Mawson Trail

Found this one one my roadtrip through Australia while exploring Flinders Ranges & surrounds. Good place to hide a cache. I love the tree. Couldn't resist to spend some time here. Amazing scenery.

Thanks for bringing me here &
greetings from Germany

On our first day in the ranges we went to Wilpena Pound for a walk up to the Wangar lookout and then picked up a few nearby caches. This was a good find in an enduring spot.
Thanks to Adrian Mc for this cache

We ventured further north towards Port Augusta, for supplies before heading home via Marree, Oodnadatta, Coober Pedy, Mt Dare, and the Simpson Desert, after attending Oz Mega 2014.

We stayed at Hawker overnight, and made a decision to take a more scenic route north, instead of the more direct route that we took on our way south.

Grabbed the resident traveller to take back to Queensland.

Cheers

A nice quick find on our way to Beltana today. The spirit of endurance can be seen in many forms in this beautiful part of the world.

Thanks Adrian Mc.

Thanks. Great little spot.

A beautiful tree in a beautiful area. We had a muggle taking photographs so brisal5 took some photographs while we grabbed the cache. Thanks for bringing us to a not so arid spot in April....

Biggest challenge with this cache was avoiding the muggle photographer nearby...
thanks

Day 1 of Flinder's Ranges visit with mogni and Aussie M&M.
Easy find. I thought the one we parked near was more impressive? I guess that I am not a photographer!. Thanks Adrian Mc.

Today we went for a drive to discover more of the Flinders Range NP and how could we do that without geocaching? Very nice place! TFTC from the Netherlands.

Been trying to catch up on way old caches for ages. TFTC's everyone your cache hides are certainly appreciated and Happy Caching to you ALL!!
Regards, GrimRaider

Another quick find this afternoon on our way back down the Flinders Ranges. Found on our Adelaide to Murray Bridge via Uluru road trip for Oz Mega 2014. TFTC!!!

Found with GrimRaider on our SA caching road trip. We grabbed this cache early this morning before heading to the Wilpena Pound airstrip to do our 30 minute scenic flight. We were in a hurry so didn't have a chance to have a good look around. We did come back though and checked out the old photo and G took some great photos of the tree. Great cache, gets a FP from me

With Vistra for a drive from Port Augusta to Flinders National Park and back again today. I had no idea about the significance of this cache until I read the description and got to the plaque describing it in more detail, lovely spot and it is a lovely tree.

TFTC

I am visiting South Australia from New Zealand, here for the Aussie Mega together with Yorkshire83. After staying the night in Port Augusta we decided to spend the day exploring Flinders Ranges. Soon found the cache here, then visited the picturesque tree. TFTC!

Found on the way trail Bike riding on the P.A.R's around Blinman on our club trip. TNLNSL Thanks Adrian Mc

Interesting place, we were told that Harold was in fact Dick Smith's grandfather!

Found while spending a few days at Wilpena Pound Resort.

Now this is my kind of cache! To find this place when I have seen so many images of it was truly moving! Hubby found this while I was busy oohhhing and ahhhing of finally seeing this for myself.
Thank you for taking us to this wonderful spot.

My wife (who is into art) recognized this spot immediately, whereas I just stot out and found the cache.
She then explained the meaning behind the cache for me. TFTC.

Nice spot! SLTNLN TFTC!

Found while exploring Australia.

Heading from Flinders Ranges to our friends in Willunga we passed this place, searched and found this cache. Nice hidden near this special tree. TFTC.

The last find for the day, before I attend your wedding.
TNLN, thanks Macca

I will have to look for some of his paintings (prints really as paintings would be too expensive for me).

Have been spending a few days in Wilpena and have visited many lookouts. Drove the Brachina Gorge track and a few others. Wondrous place.

TFTC

Found with CJ and this afternoon whilst driving throuh to the Flinders Ranges after visiting with family in Adelaide.

We'd been focusing on doing higher DT caches along our travels and and thought we'd do as many others on the way through to the Flinders. Talk about muggle cachers! Pulled up in the middle of nowhere to do another cache and some cachers from the other side of the world in the same spot as we pulled up. Crikey! CJ read out the description and the hint was excellent. There were Emu's all around. The first we have seen in the wild.

Anyway, it was a great afternoon to chase down South Australian caches. Thanks Adrian Mc for your cache. We really liked this one. SL TNLN TFTC

Our third cache in the Outback! AM and I are immensely enjoying our time here in this gem of Australia. Gorgeous views everywhere one looks. We were so excited to see emus, right there at the GZ and some stately gum trees too. SL & R with no one around. TFTC, Adrian MC!

Lovely spot. TFTC!

Found on our loop drive from Koolamon via Bunyeroo. F found more of those animal cards to swap for a Koala. Awesome scenery, that is our Flinders!
Merci pour la Cache & Cheers
