I cannot see any information that suggests to me that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement - one or more of the following applies:

- Cache Owner unable to maintain cache
- 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.
- Cache has been abandoned by cache owner/cache in disrepair

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to also prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include GC number in cache name) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash.

Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Thought it would be a quick cache on the way to school. But no luck. Going on previous comments it needs to be checked.

No find for me. It wouldn't be a caching trip if I didn't have at least 1 DNF. Oh well.
 
21-Feb-14
We wanted to find a cache today to fill in a hole on our geocalendar and as we had been visiting rellies nearby we chose this one.

Geohubby had it in hand in seconds....it was lying on the ground in full view. We hid it still at ground level but in a discreet place.

Many thanks for the hide alashfa [^]

12-Nov-13
Quick lunchtime hunt, cache was only just found tho. It seemed some muggle had found it and dropped it in the grass under the tree. So the cache was lucky that I spotted it and hid it again. Not sure exactly where he was hiding? I did find the spider mentioned in previous logs. So I put the cache where I thought he would be safe with some natural camo. First time I've found a bison like this.

04-May-13
Well, perhaps we aborted. We had a quick look but considering the number of DNFs we think the owner needs to check. We will wait until we know that it is actually there before we return.

Many thanks to alashfa,
This was our 16 of 21 for todays cache hunt, Find number 1597 at 2:59:00 PM
We are out and about grabbing a couple of caches whilst trialing the new camper, what better way than with a weekend away.


This is why we have a 4x4, forcity caching.
Saw on tomtom that there was a cache just here and next minute we were going bush.
Soon had cache in hand.

Gotcha!


Surprisingly, given my earlier DNF, this one was found quite easily this morning.


It helps when you know what you are looking for... (Note to self: Must remember to read cache descriptions carefully!)


Thanks!

 
20-Nov-12
Many "things" call this place home for sure, had a good time looking for it.

A quick find today while finding a couple of caches. I has to lol twice in the same spot!

TFTC!
 
21-Oct-12
4 months since a find, sure would help if owner could check to ensure it hasn't been muggled?
 
21-Oct-12
Just checked and it is still in the same spot that I left it. Should read past logs for extra clues.
 
04-Sep-12
Think this is due for the owner check to see if it is still there.
 
01-Sep-12
did not find will try again
 
27-Aug-12
FAIL...


Stopped by for what I was hoping to be a quick find on the way to work. Hmmm... Not so easy after all. Didn't have time for a thorough search so my quick find turned into a quick DNF.

 
11-Jun-12
After getting muggled here last weekend, came back for another try.
This time was a quick find, sign and replace.
No shouting muggles today, but some muggle kids were playing nearby, but didn't seem to take any notice of me.

TFTC
 
05-Jun-12
Quick find when coming back from a longer walk uphill.
Thanks for the cache alashfa
 
03-Jun-12
Well Digging in poo for a cache is a first for me.
 
03-Jun-12
After a DNF at another cache, went for this one ...

Started searching ... and then heard someone from across the road yell out 'Hey you over there ...' (tone of voice did not sound friendly so sort of ignored it!). This was then followed up by 'Yeah ... you in the tree ... we can see you'. Decided to ignore them and keep on looking ... surely I could outlast them looking at me and the two of them would get bored and go away? I was wrong! They stayed looking over in my direction all the time I continued looking around the tree.

Sort of knew what I was looking for, but did not find it. Had to be somewhere else, and so had to give up the hunt for today.

Retreated back to the car ... still with the unfriendly two muggles watching me from over the road ... another DNF .... and a donut of finds for today Sad
 
29-May-12
GeoAJ found the cache while GeoTM fielded a phone call. Quick and easy find. TFTC

Found on our Tour De Force with Trail06, TheWhiteDogGang, Team Astro, Freddo, and Princess Consuela.

We started at 6.30am Saturday and got home 3.00pm Sunday.

We stayed at Loch Luna on the Murray on Saturday night.

I have passed this one numerous times as we go north, but it's a;ways too difficult or we don't have time.

Today we made a detour and it was a quick find.

Found with Team Waldron on a wonderful weekend of caching through the Riverland. Team Waldron had been here before but had not scored the cache. This time he was determined not to go home without it. And so he did! TFTC, nice hide.

We came, we walked in circles. It took some finding and find it we did. Tftc.
 
03-Mar-12
Ths one was on the ground when we arrived at GZ, is it perhaps an animal moving it not a child. There is no ring on the cache as per previous logs, is this OK. SL TFTC
 
16-Feb-12
yes, I had fun with this one, I liked it, nice location Smile
I was working at a snails pace for this one, and it had me pulling my hair out for a little while, until I remembered what some of the logs said. Then the cache was soon in hand. I must have totally missed the cache first time.
good hide!! Smile
 
14-Jan-12
Found this one, it also being my first micro cache.
Micros are definitely harder to find than a normal cache, but then that is half the fun.

Signed log and returned cache to its location.

TFTC!!
