As there has been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it has been a number of months since the last owner note 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 (next 30 days), just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm 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 30 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 page and post a note every month or so to keep everyone up to date.

Massive amount of dnfs tried emailing owner no response

Just to back up kimmatmoo's request with some stats on this cache:
25/02/2012 is the first mention in a log of the cache and log being wet/damp.
Then needs maintenance was placed on the cache in regards to the wet/damp on 18/03/12, 7/05/12, 28/07/12 and 21/08/12; yet no mention of owner maintenance has occurred.
03/09/12 the 1st of 7 DNF's appear and amongst them up until today appears another 2 needs maintenance.
This gives good ground that this cache should be archived and allow another to be activated in its place in the future.

Had a good look but no luck today. TFTC

Had a quick look for this one then read the past logs and gave up hope it gets replaced as its been on my to get list for a while now

After a MASSIVE string of dnfs thought we might have a look just to be sure and sure as can be it was not there

I'll add a vote to DNF, though a good view of the current brushfire event.

Cache not here, spiders certainally are.

Cache needs to be replaced - not there -string of DNF's

LOOKED AND LOOKED no cache!!!

Stopped on our way to Lakes to grab this one with Thing no1, Thing no2 and Gonefishen07 who had previously found this cache. After the Things and I had a good look Gonefishen07 came over to see what was taking us so long as she had said it would be a quickie and much to her surprise we were not just mucking around the cache was no where to be seen.

On our way home from Sale after enjoying a nice warm weekend we were trying to pick up at couple on the way. This was not a good choice. No where to be found.
It needs to be looked at

Found it

Found it......Everything is wet, log book saturated.. Left a couple of swaps.
TFTC

Found it! Rusty and very wet inside container. Log book saturated.. Found on an arvo drive around the area.

Found cache laying open on the ground with contents scattered everywhere. Log very wet so didnt try to sign. Repacked cache but it is in need of serious maintenance and in a sorry state. Took travelbug

This was an easy drive through on my way to a car rally in Buchan.
Dropped off Geo Coin.

Thanks Carpo's Crusaders

Things were a bit damp in there, but it was a quick find for us.

Thanks Carpo's Crusaders

Quick drive by. Cache & log are a bit damp & imagine it will get worse over winter?

Log book very damp and may need replacement.

Found @ 1215 on our way to Lakes Entrance for the weekend.
Placed a trio of badges in and took out a spinning top.
Cache log book and container are damp, Log book may need replacement.

Found It.. A little damp... Nice views tho

Today was the second day of our excursion out of Tasmania touring from Melbourne to Canberra and return via Gippsland. We visited a number of towns today between Melbourne and Sale and were lucky enough to find some caches along the way. Despite being overcast at times and some very infrequent drizzle, we have had an excellent day. We wondered about the significance of this location. Apart from a view over some paddocks, there wasn't much of scenic value. There were however squadrons of mosquitos. The logbook is damp and needs replacing in the near future. TFTC Carpo's Crusaders

Driving from Lakes Entrance to Morwell we enjoyed a few caches en route.
This was a great break during the drive. Large ants close to the cache but we bravely soldiered on.
Thanks Jacqueline and Peter #6998

Found it but bring your mozzie repellent.

found, but cache needs attention

I emptied all the water from container, but everything in it is saturated, including the log book. needs to be in a continer that will seal tighter, or placed in a position where it is no so open to the weather

Aflying visit on the way to Bemm River for the weekend - tftc Thanks Carpo's Crusaders

Found @ 1130 am. Water in cache and log damp emptied water. TFTCSL

Found in company of Noikmeister.

Needed a pit stop on our trip to Lakes Entrance and this fit the bill and a bonus cache too. The cache doesn't seal well and the plastic bag has a big hole in it and so everything inside it quite damp.

Thanks Carpo's Crusaders

Nobody around when I stopped for this one. Enjoyed to multiple sensations of spider webs across the forehead... NOT! What is it with spiders in this part of the world?

I heard one spider say to the other "Should we eat him here or take away?". To which the other replied "Let's have him here before the really big ones take him off us". (Apologies to the arachnophobics.)

Stopped on the way home! Thanx for the cache

Easily found. Relieves the monotony of the long drive along Prices Hwy. TFTC

Thankfully no spiders , cache retrieved quickly, log a bit damp but still ok. Pity that some people don't seem to know how to use rubbish bins. Did a bit of a clean up while we were there.
tftc

Found it ok, and you're right. It is a great view. Thank you

Dodged an impressive spider web with its owner scuttling in my face. Ewwwww

Found by Mary & David at 0815. Today was supposed to be hot, but the fog is lingering giving everything a grey ghostly appearance. The only two vehicles were well out of sight and thankfully there weren't any spiders. Dropped off "Globetrotter Willy Notter" TB. Our thanks to Carpo's Crusaders'.

Found on the way to a family function at Bairnsdale. I was glad I didn't need to cross the road. Thanks

found this after an unplanned stop to let the dogs out of the car to have a drink and ...

Another good reason to stop on our way to the coast. Not the most beatiful rest areas but a good little cache. Thanks CCs.

Found at 11:48:32 AM GAFF1. A few years ago we had completely cleaned up the Princess Hwy of caches from Melbourne to Mallacouta.
Now look at them all! It is great to see so many now available for us to choose from.

Thanks Carpo's Crusaders

Beautiful day. Good easy find for in a hurry. Thanks LC

Nice quick find on my way to Bairnsdale. Nice views, but a bit too hazy to see the mountains clearly. Thanks for the break in the journey and for the cache.

Quiet parking spot.

Straight forward find, log damp, T TB, t4tC

Looked all over and couldn't find it but did find a lot of blue plastic broken up so we think it's been vandalised.

Found at 9am. No trackables to choose from, but we had one to leave here to continue his travels. View was a little hazy, but still impressive. Took: safety cone Left: Bingley the Airedale TB - hope he enjoys the view too!

A quick drive by on a work trip to Melbourne.

Found easily enough, but I had to dodge a Golden Orb spider across the Western side of the hide. A bit of a challenge in the dark.......
Thanks Carpo's Crusaders

Quick found on the way home!! Tftc

A quick find on our travel through East Gippsland. I am sure the couple having a cuppa near by thought I'd been caught short and was having a pee break in the bush. SL TTB TFTC Carpo's Crusaders

Heading to Heyfield to give Vombatus a hand with his annual fire works display we took a slightly longer way and pulled up at this one. There was nobody else using the ample parking provided and the cache was found exactly where the GPSr said that it should be.
We signed the log and left a tb
Thanks Carpo's Crusaders for the cache

Quick pick up on my way home from Bairnsdale, took nothing left TB. No sign of tb listed. Thanks to carpo's crusaders for the cache.

Very easy find at 1545hrs. We have been past many times however have been lazy and not made the effort to stop. Special trip today to drop off some TBs so now there are some in the cache. Took nothing and signed the log. Thanks Carpo's Crusaders for this one.

4348. [font=Century Gothic][green]Blamed my mother for overshooting the stop on the first attempt as she was gasbagging on and on. Went back to score an easy find after having to wait for a break in the traffic. Boy there must be some mothers getting visited today.

Another leg stretch, with the addition of a lot of arm exercise swatting and shooing off blood suckers. No one about today so had the area to ourselves. Some nice distant views. Thanks for the hunt Carpo's Crusaders.

found on our way north. I don't think I have ever seen or felt Mozzies as bad as they where here we open the car door and they just attacked us hundreds of them. Geo child and I tried to run away from them they just followed us and attacked some more. Some much so apart from putting date and name on log I forgot to write anything else.

First on our trip

Found the cache today at 1.00pm with beanie A bit of a struggle
to cross the highway but eventually had the cache in hand.

TNLN Signed the log and Thanks Carpo's Crusaders for the cache.

Quick stop to find and sign tftc

Easy find. Nice short walk GeoDogs in tow

There was no view to be had here this morning as dense fog covered the area.
Giant spider webs festooned with condensation kept us on our toes as we walked
a careful route to your cache.
Nice start to the day.
Thanks

View? What View? I don't remember a view - but we did find the cache. Thanks for breaking the journey. TFTC

A quick stop on our way eastward. TNLN. TFTC.

Found today on the way home from shopping.

Thanks Carpo's Crusaders for the cache.

Found on our trip home from the Surf Lifesaving State titles at Lakes Entrance and an extended stay afterwards. Found this morning around 11:00, #2 for the day, #180 overall.

We had to sit for a few minutes, while an asphalt-truck muggle finished his smoke-oh and did a check of his truck before moving on.

Not much traffic today, so crossing the road was no problem and neither was the find. Juc_jr #2 wasn't impressed with the amount of broken glass around and was wishing he'd worn his thongs ! Still we made the find, signed the log and were on our way without injury. TNLN

Thanks for the cache and the leg-stretch Carpo's Crusaders

A quick stop and find on my way to Lakes Entrance, enjoyed the view. TFTC

Heading to Cape Conran for a camping holiday with the kids. Granted permission from the GLW to pick up a few caches along the way ...
Stopped by this one. A very windy day, and peeled the spiderwebs from my face as we approached GZ through the trees rather than the nice convenient track, thanks to an unsettled GPSr!
TFTC

Dropping car TB, not sure why it didn't work when I logged the cache.

1st of 4 found by Mr & Mrs 1Sr on our way to Merimbula at 1040. A nice easy find but the mozzies are killers. We have never seen so many. We spent the next half hour in the car killing them all.

Found It! (And was almost eaten alive by the mossies!!)
