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.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 28 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 28 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 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 page and post a 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.

It looks like this one is as dead as the Take Away food place adjacent which has gone out of business.
 
08-Oct-13
I believe the CO needs to look at this one.
 
08-Oct-13
I saw the previous DNF's as I was in the area I thought I'd take a look anyway. The object at GZ is obvious and there are several possible hidey holes for a micro and I'm confident I checked them all but came up empty handed. I agree with previous finders, I believe this cache has gone.

Not found today and I assume it has gone unless it is well hidden.
by all the previous logs it needs some looking into by the CO.

26-Apr-13
Spent a good chunk of time looking around for this with rd_trip one but no such luck. Might be a goner.

Pea bear & I had a very thorough look for this one but we couldn't find it.

EuDes and I had a good look all around for this one, to no avail - we're pretty sure it's gone.

Thanks C@H.

We looked high, we looked low, we looked in, we looked out, but today there was no way we could work this one out! Resorted to previous logs and then the hint to no avail - this 1/1 has eluded us today!

Thanks for the hunt anyway C@H .

Out with Ahomburg caching thru the area today and the weather was ideal and alot cooler then the day before. Had cache thru some of this area before but not found all the caches. It was interesting seeing the changes as the new Peninsula link was quite a feature on the landscape.

Well after having a McFloat and the proceeding brain freeze (awesome drink on a hot day) this was the next cache found which was spotted quickly but due only to sheer luck. Very nice.Big Grin TFTC Covert Hypnosis

Find # 2497

After a bit of a restless night due to very hot overnight temperatures, my caching partner in crime, SedgwickDave picked me up at 9.30 and we were headed for Frankston and the surrounding areas to pick up a few caches along the way.

A sneaky little drive by well hidden out of sight. A quick find.

Thanks to C@H for the cache.

Out on a night caching run with Danozz in the Eastern Melbourne area and down as far as The Briars in Mt Martha on the Mornington Peninsula. The night was a puzzle clean up night, I had heaps solved, and don't know how many opportunities I will get to grab the finals, so tonight was the night. 30 caches found including 16 puzzles and several multis.... A top night of caching.

Nice quick park and grab on this one. TFTC Covert.
 
27-Aug-12

07-Aug-11
Completely deserted around here this afternoon.
I found the cache easily due to the clear clue, but it took quite a while to extract the cache which was really tightly wedged in its little hiding spot.
Eventually got it out and signed the log, and all was okay.
Thanks Covert.

This was the last of the caches found on my extended walk in the area. I liked the use of shrink tubing on the container. Just as I was leaving, Rigger64 jumped out of his truck (parked nearby) and we had a good chat for a while until it started raining too heavily. Thanks for the cache.

Thanks Covert for this cache.

If you are alergic to ant's you already know to look out for them.

Spotted but ants kept me from retrieving. Little buggers bite!

Nice easy find when there is no muggles around here at lunch time.
Thanks C@H
 
08-Oct-10
A nice quick find with no muggles about until I was about to return the cache to its hiding spot and a muggle turned up and parked facing towards where I was. I had to wait for about 15 minutes before I could re-hide the cache. I was wondering if he may have been a Cacher waiting for his chance to find the same cache.

WARNING: It is Magpie Swooping season again & Whilst i was checking on the cache i had one of the local Magpie's sweep me a few times & Swoop with vigor as if to say i don't want you here.

I had a bit of time on to Spare so i decined to have my lunch here & check on the cache which i do on a regular basis as this is near one of my daily pickup's & being a friend of the owner.

We found this cache at 12:50pm as the 9th of 13 on a Middle of the Day Caching Expedition. Iinteresting view of the works so far. Thanks from D & HA B-A.

A lovely sunny day today and very quiet around GZ. I searched three obvious places with no luck, read the hint, and then realised that I hadn't searched hard enough, and in fact had revealed the container but not seen it! Doh! [:o)] Thanks coverthypnosis.

Today was definitely an ideal day to find this cache. The estate was deserted, apart from the crazy motorcyclist doing laps at breakneck speed. A nice new log to sign and be on my way again. Thanks for the cache!

Third time lucky - I just needed to take a closer look. TFTC

Log scroll is wet/damp - needs drying or possibly replacing
 
23-Aug-10
After visiting the nearby Bata factory outlet only to find that it was shut this afternoon we decided to grab a few caches instead. This was the first and we pulled up in a little parking bay to see that we were the only people around. After about twenty minutes of looking in the obvious location we tried the phone a friend option and the cache was then located in one of the first places we looked unfortunately not hard enough. The bypass was being used today as two high vis clad workers walked along the fence line
Thanks CovertHypnosis for the cache

Second of 6 finds on a wet and miserable day @ 1140 after a brief search. Log sheet still damp so had to be extremely careful when returning it into the cache. Could do with a replacement log sheet.

Also need to add that this was find 500 for me, a minor milestone!

06-Aug-10
Found on the ground. Log was wet. Dried it as well I could and replaced it where GPS and clue seem to indicate it belongs.
 
05-Aug-10
Found whilst in the area collecting a few caches, this one in a familiar hide was a quick one then onwards to a few more.. Thanks C@H for highlighting this area that will soon be lost, rather found.. arrr.. errr.. Is it true that they are building this road at your request to enable more FTF possibilities for you???
 
02-Aug-10
Found by Mary & David at 1635. Good coordinates led us straight to the right place, but it still took us a few minutes to pin it down. Had to wait a while to return it while a dog walker returned through the fence, loaded his dogs onto his ute, and departed. Our thanks to CovertHypnosis.
 
25-Jul-10
Revisited the site thinking I had the new data in my GPS but no the old clue/location was still there... (This has happened to me a few times now - I'm not sure if its a mistake I'm making or a bug with the software or GPS itself...) I searched the park hoping for a lucky find but alas no. Judging by the recent logs that was probably a little optimistic given the small size of the cache. Ah well - I'll try again once I'm sure the GPS data is correctly loaded!
