Fish Out Of Water Strathalbyn, South Australia, Australia
By imhidingsa on 22-Feb-11. Waypoint GC2P6K9

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.

Should you like to resurrect the cache please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

From http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache

The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.

If a geocache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance it will not be unarchived.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

This cache is carrying one or more logs which suggest some attention by the cache owner is needed.

The guidelines advise that the CO should make occasional visits to check on the cache as well as promptly address any logs that indicate that the cache requires some attention. If you can not attend to the issue promptly, then you need to Disable the cache - I have disabled it this time.

Please respond to this situation (or indicated your intentions including a date) within **28 Days**, otherwise it will be necessary to withdraw the cache from the Active listing. The [Geocache Maintenance guideline](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

**And don't forget,** once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; [Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [Temporarily Disable and Enable ](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

Have found this one before, went to show my brother and its not there.

Not where it used to be.

Could not find

The hint and previous logs made us confident we were in the right place, but this fish must have gotten a bit parched and gone to find some water.

No luck for us today.

DNF - shop keeper couldn't find it either - maybe missing

DNF. Cache may be missing. -SNL

I reckon I know my way around Strath by now this being my 12th cache find lol I made a very quick find at GZ which must have made the shop owner giggle (If he/she was watching). SL at 12:54 on Fri 11 Aug 2017. TFTC imhidingsa

Found by the TOP SECRET SOCIETY Ltd (T.S.S.L.). Members TSSL03, TSSLTAG02 and TSSLTAG17.

Will have to try another day

=(

Had to get a bit of directional help from lovely shop owner. Shes amazing and i think she watches us looking for cache. Gets a laugh no doubt.

Couldn't find it

# 1632 - On the road with Triciac2 from Qld to SA we try to find a cache (or two ) at every stop.

Walking through town today and sampling (and buying!) the goods in the various shops we needed to find at least one cache (the 2nd one of today). This one was not far from our route back to the camper, so we stopped off and Triciac2 made the find even before I had a chance to look. Great hide.

Cool first find

A couple of finds after lunch - MW found TFTC

Down to Strath today to have the car serviced.
Had lunch and found a few caches whilst in the area.
I made a meal of this one but lucky some lovely ladies saved the day for me.

Out for an afternoon drive on a nice day in the Strath area to grab a few caches.It was a good afternoon. TFTC

A quick find without entering the property. SL TFTC

Despite being the middle of the day, all was quiet for a reasonable radius around GZ making for an easy search. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find in an obvious location. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks imhidingsa for the cache.

Found it thanks to the photo hint TFTC

*Late log for Australia day* A quick intermission while the hottest 100 was on. Enjoyed the find. tftc

Thanks imhidingsa for placing and maintaining this Cache

Out for a morning of caching with Tomboy and JJ52. This was one of our stops.

Great find

found today, great little GC took me some time but eventualy found it.

thanks imhidingsa for the GC

Found it (with a little help volunteered by local shop owner who was a wake up to me nosing around her garden)!

Heard this cache had recently been replaced and so went to investigate. Cheeky little cache. Thanks.

Went out solo today and found the cache during a quick walk in this antique town with my one eye closed. Smaller than I was expecting but I guess it was called micro for a reason.

Found quickly - a good hide and a good container. Signed log

After not finding it we went inside of the shop and spoke to the shop owner who said she'd not seen this cache for a while. Despite it being partly on her property, she was fine with the cache being there.

John and I noticed that this cache hider is no longer playing the game, so made the decision to replace this cache for others to find. A pic is attached.

A straight forward find during a fun day of caching.

I'd just got back to Adelaide from a spontaneous caching trip to Victoria and made plans with the lovely Ozibags to go out caching for the day. We talked non-stop, laughed heaps, got attacked by masses of mozzies and flies, enjoyed the nice drive/walking tracks and stopped for a yummy picnic lunch.

GEOCACHING ROCKS!!! [:X]

Thanks for the cache imhidingsa!

I and my geocaching buddy Goodlook had a good look for this cache without luck. So we went into the fish shop and asked the owner if she knew about the geocache in front of her store and where it was hidden. She did! She was very helpful and even showed us where it should have been.

Alas, she also couldn't see it so we agreed it was missing. Goodlook had a suitable replacement container so after signing the log we placed the new container in the right spot. TFTC Imhidingsa.

We searched for about 10 minutes in all the obvious spots without drawing too much attention to ourselves. Unable to locate this one. Will check again next time.

A quick find, log book very wet

New navigator today but got there in the end. TFTC.

Found it on a day outing.

The log book was ripped and had water damage. The tins lid had come off.

Found with 2011*turtle. TFTC

Found with vj187. Stopped off on our way back home after a stay in Victor Harbor. The log book was full. TFTC

Nice

Thanks! My very first find. Yay!

Wasn't there.

Tricky little bugga! Well camo'd but not convinced it was in its original place. close enough tho.

Found this

Dr Owl had a free day and invited a fish out for a caching run.... This means a day of good company, many laughs and a bit of caching thrown in for good measure. My tally was 26 finds, including a couple of unexpected bonus finds and 4 dnf's. After my disastrous directing
I don't think I'll be asked along again.

We looked, we got covered with ants, we PAFed but this was our fourth dnf. The CO hasn't logged into GC.com in over 3 years, the next seeker may need to replace.

Found it with CherryRose. Was thinking this was going to be much harder to find. TFTC TNLNSL

Easy find & not what we expected. Bear Organised who thought we were looking for a fish & chip shop. TFTC TNLNSL

Nice hide. Camo good. Boo hoo. Wife found this one too.

A quickish find the second time I looked in the first place I looked

Our current visit to Australia had been in the planning for over a year with the very significant help and advice from friends who live in Melbourne. The original plan was for a 2 month visit, but as things progressed we just couldn't help extending our trip to the full 90 days allowed on our visas - after all it's a big country and so much to see and do, especially with our favourite pastimes being birding, hiking and of course geocaching! We are currently on the first section of our journey, which started with our arrival at Perth airport followed by a day cycling around Rottnest Island before travelling on to Adelaide where we met up with our friends. We then continued on to spend some time on Kangaroo Island. We are currently on route to Melbourne via Goolwa, Strathalbyn (where we are at present), Coorong, Mount Grambier, Cape Bridgewater, the Grampians National Park, Port Campbell, Cape Otway and Lorne, cramming in as much as possible on route. From Melbourne we head to Tasmania for a few days, then back to Melbourne before setting off to Sydney via Wilson’s Promontory, Lakes Entrance, Mallacoota, Pambula Beach, Thredbo, Canberra and Fitzroy Falls. After a visit to Sydney we will travel on to the Gold Coast, then after spending a few days in the nearby mountainous birding hotspots, followed by an overnight trip to Fraser Island, we will fly from Brisbane to Cairns, visiting yet more good birding sites. We will then drive up to Cape Tribulation before heading back south again to Port Douglas and a day out on the Great Barrier Reef. We then return to Cairns for the flight to Alice Springs, where we will hire a 4x4 camper and set off for a week on the circuit to and from Kings Canyon and Ayers Rock. We then fly to Darwin from where we will spend the last two weeks of our holiday making our way to Broome via Kakadu, Cooinda, Katherine Gorge, Kununarra, Lake Argyle, Emma Gorge, the Bungle Bungle’s and Fitzroy Crossing. Our last two nights in Australia will be spent in Broome before we fly back to Perth, from where we will connect with the flight all the way back home to Zimbabwe via South Africa. We already know we can't wait to return!

This was our last cache of a thoroughly enjoyable day that had started in Goolwa and ended here in Strathalbyn. A nice quick find in the dark before calling it quits for the evening. Thanks for the cache.

Great colour!

Great hide, fast find for some

Found it on the way to school drop off. Located on beautiful high street opposite a good pub (Commercial Hotel). Log book full.
