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, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still 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.
 
22-Jun-14
Will replace cache ASAP
 
18-Jun-14
No luck for us either, definately needs checking
 
18-Jun-14
A dnf for us today. This cache may need to be checked as may have gone missing.
 
15-May-14
I couldn't find it Either
 
26-Apr-14
No luck with 3 of us searching!! Sad
 
24-Apr-14
We looked but not surprisingly we didn't find it. With so many DNF's think its time for some owner intervention to at least prove we are all blind. Surprised
 
08-Apr-14
Had another look today and still nothing owner needs to check this one
 
25-Feb-14
Searched for about 1/2 an hour. FAILED Twisted
 
24-Feb-14
Looked everywhere for this one and could not find it checked everywhere twice but like the previous logs came up empty. Sad
 
05-Jan-14
I had a look but couldn't find, bummer. Maybe next time Smile

 
15-Oct-13
Grabbed a few caches after work on such a lovely evening that it made driving around a pleasure Smile
Had 3 DNFs Sad tonight and 11 smileys Smile so not too bad a locus caching evening.


I came, I looked, I DNF'd.
Maybe I am just too short to see between/in certain spots or maybe it isn't there......time will tell!

TFTC Team Nano Smile
 
25-Sep-13
Even though I searched uninterrupted for around 15 minutes, even using the hint, I was unable to find this cache today. Maybe next trip....
 
19-Aug-13
With Mohuja putting the fear of the Nano in me after reading previous logs I was a little worried we may not find this one, especially as school pick up was fast approaching. After a quick search I decided to check the hint which narrowed the search area down considerably and I soon had the little bugger in hand! Nice one Team Nano!
 
Chellesse is good with the finding! 3/3 today. Lovely area, will need to come back with the kiddies. TFTC Smile
 
Our smallest find yet! Took a while but we got it Smile
 
01-Aug-13
Spent a half hour looking without success. Possibly muggled. Thanks Team Nano for taking me to this part of the reserve.
 
22-Apr-13
We tried, but too many muggles and too many leaves restricted our search.

Possibly muggled [?]

Oh well, we forgot a pen anyway Razz
 
28-Jan-13
Lovely area down here. Been awhile since I visited. TFTC
 
28-Jan-13
Nice park. Tftc
 
19-Jan-13
Had to use a stick to get it.
Geokids enjoyed the playground.
TFTC
 
08-Dec-12
had me worried when we turned up to get this one, but soon had it in hand. Cheers. MODU.
 
27-Oct-12
If one did not have a pen, one should of at-least taken a photo to upload for proof of find...

Who goes geocaching with out a pen?

Guidelines say, if you cannot psychically sign a log book, you cannot claim it as a find.
 
23-Oct-12
Searched in the wrong place to start with but found it pretty quickly once we were in the right spot. Forgot to take a pen with us so unfortunately couldn't sign that tightly rolled piece of paper. At least we didn't have to worry about rolling it up again!
 
20-Oct-12
Un-Archived New log does this class as a FTF Smile took us 5 mins but there she was.

Thanks team nano for the fun..

So I can confirm its defiantly still there Very Happy

Happy hunting

25-Sep-12
Cache Replaced. Sorry for the long wait!

Beats me [?]
I give up.

I'm not sure what's happened there, with that log, but I certainly did NOT find it!

Unarchiving cache.

As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, I'm archiving it to keep it 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 us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
 
08-Jan-12
Will replace it with a much harder cache Smile
 
02-Jan-12
Did not see anything, Where has it gone???????? Surprised
 
26-Dec-11
Another DNF. either I'm really bad at this today or the cache has gone Sad

 
05-Dec-11
Ok, two hours of searching and came up with zilch!
I did find, however, a 'chapstick' which would be in the 'presumable' GZ location...???
Hmmm... Was it muggled?
I thought outside the square... Ok the 'magnetic' description may be a decoy?
And outside the circle- "stand on the LOG (book??????)"
Nope, only some ugly spiders!
I'll keep this on my 'to conquer' list Wink
 
30-Nov-11
Looked all over the structure and resorted to the clue, but no luck here either.
thanks anyway team Nano
 
10-Nov-11
Found fairly quickly on my holiday in Adelaide. SL TFTC
 
04-Nov-11
As the closest traditional to home we decided it was time to find this cache, we had visited this site before and had not found it. I jumped out of the car and left the girls behind and jogged to the GZ. I jumped on the log and looked up, there was the cache, how did we miss it before? Signed the log as TLW as our full name would have taken up most of the remaining log book.
 
30-Oct-11
Found this thanks to a lift from Mr Windy Archer! TFTC
 
second attempt - great hide TFTC
 
29-Oct-11
#872 Had a look first in what I thought would be the obvious spots but no luck so looked in the less obvious - still no luck so back to the more obvious for a closer look and bingo! Thanks Team Nano.
 
Searched and searched and searched... unfortunately we couldnt find... oh well looks like another visit is on the cards Sad
 
28-Oct-11
Out on my big night out caching, got to this 1 in time, before the rain came. look for a good 20 minutes plus, found nothing but to HUGE hundmans. :S the where real so not the cache lol.

someone might need to check this one out.

Cheers

28-Oct-11
Went out this morning to check on it and its still there. I think its time for me to replace the log book in it though.
 
02-Oct-11
Was wondering if I'd find this one but had no real problems. Is in an obvious spot but only the vertically challenged would need the clue Smile
TFTC
 
13-Aug-11
Didn't look very hard as logged as gone...will have to come back!
 
13-Aug-11
Ditto for me today
 
13-Aug-11
Nope, the cache is still there. We didn't know that there was a NM log on this (as we loaded it several weeks ago), but it was a tricky find, as the hint led us astray. After thinking like a cacher, and wondering where you could place it without being muggled, we had it on the second try. Signed log (initials anyway) - TFTC (and a area that only locals would know about).
 
02-Aug-11
walked past the location of this cache today and i can confirm it is not there so it probably needs to be replaced
 
25-Jul-11
This one continues to elude us, searched for awhile, but still nothing!!! Arrgghhh Smile

A glorious Sunday afternoon so what to do but cache. Thanks for brining us to this lovely spot. We spent some time finding the cache, such a pesky little one, and then the geokid had a great time at the nearby playground
 
01-Jul-11
Our very first geocache so very happy! (though we did a lot of letterboxing on Dartmoor, UK in the 80s). An appropriate cache for our first as it is less than 50m from our front door! Took a bit of finding as we didn't expect it to be so TINY!! Log sheet was full so have put a new one in. Thanks very much Team Nano.Smile
 
26-Apr-11
While Talking to Mrs J on the phone managed to put my hand in the right location to get the Nano.
Nothing beats that feeling of triumph after loking for a NANO and you feel that magnetic type movement that can only be a NANO!!!! WOOHOO!!!
 
24-Apr-11
Looked and looked and looked. Then stopped looking and success. Wow that's tiny. TFTC Team Nano.
 
28-Mar-11
It reasonable quick find after dark with only a couple of walking muggles passing bye.
 
14-Mar-11
Find 1180 on Adelaide Cup Day 2011 my 4th Anniversary of Geocaching.
Found BFE Style without a GPS.
The log book was dry and I was able to find a blank spot.
Thanks to Team Nano for the cache.
Fine Elsewhere
 
19-Feb-11
Found on a day caching with the geo-son and geo-daughter.

TFTC
 
12-Feb-11
Found with Mary from AussieM&M... Great joy when we found it but on opening the little critter...NOTHING... it was empty!!! A search under the logs eventually yielded a very damp log strip in a couple of pieces. We returned it but it could do with replacing. TFTC
 
12-Feb-11
Nano man strikes again, then cache was empty, found damp log on ground in pieces. Signed it as best we could. TFTC.

22-Oct-10
When you look in the right spot, at the right angle, the mongrel little thing stands out like the proverbials Surprised. I didn’t need the log.
 
18-Oct-10

Ended up seeing the cache when I wasn't standing on the log, height is not always an advantage. TFTC.
 
25-Sep-10
A nice easy find for me today, Chugger on the other hand had his blinkers on - TFTC
 
22-Sep-10
Found by Mary & David at 1720. Who was Mike Green? A nice little park, and a fairly quick find. As David was heading back to the car, nice to meet Mrs 'Team Nano' and enjoy a brief chat. Hope you all enjoy caching as much as we do. Our thanks again to Team Nano.
 
21-Sep-10
Made A New Account Found It On My Old One TFTC

Whoops, just realised we had forgotten to log this one. Found it a few days (a week?) ago now. The Geomutt (and Mugglemutt we are dogsitting) enjoyed the stroll through the park here.

According to my GSAK download from yesterday this cache was off line. Eventually after not finding a simple cache nearby we checked and it was online.

Arrived at GZ and thought bugger. Damn muggles having a party in the shelter. We stood there for 30 seconds and one of the muggles said Are you looking for this? Hello to Tina from Adrian Mc. Happy 60th Mc senior.

BN.SOS.BDTHNFAEEWSN.

Hope you are coming to the Nano Event. The badge design is not meant for you.
 
29-Aug-10

Perfect day for a party. One thing wrong.

There was a cache at GZ and it wasn't our party.

But we were cachers. Could we go there.

"Are you looking for a BN" [?]

Huh?

Oh, we are cachers too.

Now having a party is one thing, but under a nano. Come on. How cruel.

Some people are strange Big Grin

Hello to Tina from Adrian Mc. Happy 60th Mc senior.

Clear skies and many happy caches.

 
26-Aug-10
Found this a while ago when passing through. Tricky hide.
 
25-Aug-10
Forgot to log this cache. TCTF
 
25-Aug-10
Found the new nano between showers.
Needed to take it back to the car to extract the log.
Need good finger nails or bring tweezers.
FTF the new log, TFTC
 
24-Aug-10
Got round to replacing this one! Had to wait to get a nano container in the post. Sorry about the wait!
 
17-Aug-10
Are you going to get this one up and running again ?
 
25-Jul-10
Muggled Sad
 
25-Jul-10
I am on a low carb diet, so no pasta for us today.
 
17-Jul-10
Bummer! Could not find it. Oh well, maybe another day.
 
11-Jul-10
Decided to get this one, as it was the closest to home unfound. Easy find, but not that visible, as noted by a previous finder. However, log is almost full. TFTC.

I see I followed Sushilord today. Shame I missed you would have been good to catch up. Nice area so close to the progressive picnic start. TFTCSL 203 days
 
04-Jul-10
A quick visit, while in the area for another cache, which I didn't finish. The log is a bit difficult to write on as it is damp.

Thanks for the cache.
 
01-Jul-10
A quick stop here as well, no muggles to be seen anywhere! Lovely park and also nice suburbia.
Thanks dominicg for the cache. Smile
