I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, theblockcrew, requesting additional time.

An ample opportunity has been provided for the Cache Owner to respond, but since this opportunity has been ignored, I can only conclude that the cache has been abandoned.

Caches archived under these circumstances are unable to be Unarchived, and this location is now available for the placement of a new cache, by somebody else.

Found today with LOCI612 who will post a photo of us both at the cache and with the cache with his log. The cache was filled with water and the logbook is paper mash. Not able to sign and no replacement cache on hand.

**This Cache**

Cache is still full of water and ruined, we were in the area so found this and uploading a pic as proof of find instead. Thanks. Shame that it might be archived soon, it's a spectacular spot! A bit of a climb but some great views and infrastructure nearby! Hopefully someone else snaps up the location Smile

---

**Today:**

A day off work and caching with DSD!
We were originally going to head out of the ACT, but with some predicated rain in NSW we decided it was going to be nicer locally instead!
We started off by grabbing some new caches around Denman Prospect area, before heading down to Tuggernong and cleaning up the rest of the P&G "ALL7" caches, before finally heading down towards QBN / Googong for a few more stragglers before we needed to head home!

Thanks to the CO's for keeping us busy on todays adventure!

Hi theblockcrew,

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 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, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Parked down the bottom, then up the hill to find the cache. The bottom of the container is missing, but top and log still there. Nice views from up here and nice trees.

Thanks,

Just waiting for the eldest geodaughter to have her Oboe lesson nearby, a good opportunity to grab a few caches

Yeah, this one needs some tender love and care.... and when I mean 'some' I mean 'a lot'.

After cacthing up on some chores I spent the rest of the afternoon caching, particularly ones I wanted to do over Easter around Jerrabomberra. 'Cache' soon found after huffing and puffing up the hill. All I found was the log and the cache lid. The log had obviously been quite wet at some point, but I managed to prise open a page and sign my name. TFTC.

On holidays from Brisbane and staying in Canberra for 4 days. This being our first day, it was time to hit the road around lunch time. I apologise to the CO's for the generic comments, but I can assure you each cache found was great to find, as it brings you to spots where you would not visit. Looked around GZ and in no time it was found.
 
20-Jan-17
Have 4 days of caching planned while here visiting and we ventured out this afternoon hoping to find some between the showers. Found easily after the walk.

Another one done. Yay! I found this as part of a daily streak I am working on - 3 months completed so far. The first month wasn't so bad, the 2nd month got harder, the 3rd I settled into a routine, but now it's getting more challenging to make sure I don't miss a day especially when I'm travelling for work.

I love the challenge of the geocache cache hunt - read the notes, decipher the cache requirements, and go searching for the hide. This is an amazing world wide game of hide and seek. I love it!

Thanks go to theblockcrew for placing this cache and maintaining it. It's a great contribution to the Geocaching community and much appreciated. I enjoyed finding this one with Jackson Lightning, 5yo geokid and 100yr old geodog. This cache was another "Found it" for me. TFTC! Cheers. [Blue]Jump Pilot[/Blue] Cool

As I was signing the log my friend spotted a wombat!! So we stalked it for a while to take photos and videos. After making just a bit too much noise and it got scared off, we spotted another one close by. Made some noise to get it's attention but it didn't really care and went on wondering around. Nice area. Tftc

Nice steep walk and great views at the end. TFTC theblockcrew.

Canberra Day 8:00am
After logging "Badges, Pins and What-ch-ma-call-its" I passed through a magical little gully and then up the hill for this one. With the smoke haze from recent burning off still hanging in the air, I felt like I'd smoked a packet of cigarettes and barely made it up. Brilliant views to admire while I sat and got my breath back. I found a not very age appropriate What-ch-ma-call-it in the cache, which I removed and left in a bathroom at the local shops where I stopped next because I suddenly, mysteriously felt like some ice-cream Smile TFTC theblockcrew

Fantastic views here! No pencil so nearby carbon anf rocketmans scribing did the trick TFTC
 
31-Dec-14
Ok, so first mcmooster and I climbed Bicentennial Dr, then we climbed Constance, then we climbed the access road, so no surprise there was a little more climbing to get to GZ! Stunning views are the reward though. Glow TB dropped off, Barrel of Monkeys TB picked up. TFTC.
 
30-Dec-14
Doing a heap around Jerra that we haven't yet got to. We visit friends here semi annually and today the kids are doing sleep overs. After about 12 finds Geohubby got the chance to run up for this cache as we all stayed in the aircon comfort of the car. The view I'm told deserves more time and also a sunset, great spot and thanks for the cache.
 
30-Dec-14
Some stunning views from up here and and ideal place to drop off a travel bug. Thank you for sharing.

#2839 - 17:55; I decided it was time to head back over to Jerrabomberra and collect a few of the caches I had missed on previous missions. I gave this one a miss last time I was in the vicinity because it was dark. Having daylight was a real benefit for this cache, in terms of both the trip to GZ and the views once there. I ascended the hill and made a quick find at GZ before taking a less direct, but easier route back to the geomobile. TFTC theblockcrew Smile

Sunset up here today is spectacular. Now this is why a geocache.
 
16-Nov-14
Found on an ACT (and beyond) caching raid with Hoojar over 48hrs. We did some bike riding, plenty of walking and driving, some pouring rain and a bit of heat in the sun.

Hoojar had done this one so I trudged up the hill and on the way down had some pretty heavy rain.

TFTC!

Forgot pencil so be used burnt wood to write name and date.

Found it with the family. No pencil.

I've returned it. I'm pretty sure I put it back where it was before. The wombat was not in the entrance to the drain any more - it looks like it's found its way further in. The view is even better today - very little breeze, and a sunny day. Thanks for the cache, again.

I've taken the cache - I stumbled over it about 100 metres from GZ, and the container was smashed, and the log pad damaged by insects. I saw no future putting it back as it was, so I've grabbed it. I'll put it in a new container, and take it back next weekend unless it's raining. I'll then take a photo of where I put it and send it to you privately (you might have to send me your email address). Alternatively, I can bring or send it to you if you wish. Let me know what you'd like me to do.

It's Saturday. It's good weather - mostly fine, with a nice chill in the air. I've been crook during the week - I lost seven pounds worshiping the porcelain god, in 24 hours, but I'm better now. I haven't found a cache since Sunday (but I have been looking at puzzle caches). The GeoSchnauzers are looking alert - I've picked up my GPS.

Number 7 today. Talk about adventure!!! I'd looked at the steep hill, then at the logs to see if the cache was there. The last one was a worrying DNF, but the loggers were impressed with the view, so I decided to go for the exercise anyway. After a really steep uphill climb, I got to GZ and, panting, admired the view. Magnificent!! Then I looked for the cache. No sign of it!! Oh well, I'd come up for the views anyway. At this point, I found I'd forgotten my phone. Never mind. So the dogs and I started down the hill, and we walked on the other side of a concrete drain coming out of the water reservoir. The drain was a 10-15 cm pipe sloping up into the hill. Now I really needed the phone - there was a lazy wombat in the drain using it as a burrow - it was head first in the drain, with it's back showing clearly just inside the drain. This has improved the enjoyment of this DNF. But there's more!!! We continued our walk back to the car, and found the cache!!! Somebody had muggled it, and left it 100 m from GZ behind a rock. So now what do I do? Hmmm. The container is smashed, and I don't have a spare. OK, I've taken it. I'll raise a "needs maintenance" and contact the CO if I can. Favorite point for the fun!!!

We searched high and low for this one. Nobody seems to have reported it as a difficult to find cache, so I am wondering if it has indeed disappeared?
No sign of it today,
Thanks for the walk and the great exercise theblockcrew

Found on a sweep around Jerrabomberra. Don't know this area at all, so I teamed up with clemdoog for a fun afternoon of caching. It was pretty hot walk, albeit not as hot as it had been all week, but as you said, the view is worth it! We stayed for a few minutes to take it all in before heading back down to the car. Thanks for bringing us here and TFTC!

With my daughter doing some school holiday caching. After some moaning and groaning from the geokid about walking up the hill, we found the cache. TFTC.

Hard 200m or so slog up the side
 
27-Apr-13
This was number 28 for us today on our big caching day out. After completing the Jerra pathways tour earlier we wanted to enjoy more of this great weather we are having and collect a few more...

This was probably the hardest in the terrain department for us today, nice steep climb to GZ but the views were totally worth it. Found @ 1400. We sat for a while, watched a few planes on approach to Canberra Airport (really cool that you can see the runway from here) . Great location, thanks theblockcrew for the views and of course the cache.
 
10-Feb-13
What a view and tree swings every where you looked on the walk in. The old knees felt the strain with the steepness of the track. This was our third for the sunday afternoon slipping out between the rain scuds.

Happy to get this one on this 41.6c day. I covered it back up as it was totally exposed but intact. TFTC

The eighth day of our excursion out of Tasmania touring from Melbourne to Canberra and return via Gippsland saw a marked change in the weather. Heavy rain in the morning was followed by cold winds, very cold when we didn’t bring the winter woolies. After tracking down some more details for some of the Great Aussie Icon Hunt caches, we cached in Jerrabomberra and later went back into Canberra. At times we got rather wet but that didn’t deter our enthusiasm for caching for the day.

We spent a significant amount of time looking for a way to access this cache. In the end we were able to drive within about 180m of the cache but could not drive further along the road because of a boom gate. So we walked up a short but steepish road and then up a rough track to get to GZ. Once there, accurate coordinates led to a quick find. We then took some time to admire the views from this evelated position. The views were good but would be even better on days with better weather. TFTC theblockcrew.

again this one was attempted with only half our team so Tealby and I headed up while the other two rested in the car below,and sure some up hill walking required. puff, puff but mercifully only a short hike, and spotted it straight away. yoyos ahh those where the days, I still have my trusty coke-a-cola yoyo somewhere in the house.
thanks
