Logs

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.

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.

We spent some time here today. without success. As previous logs have said, the area around GZ is now a featureless bare patch of dirt.

This cache hasn't been found for quite some time and the CO hasn't accessed the Groundspeak site since Monday, April 08, 2013 so we figure they aren't active any longer.

Could a reviewer please temporarily disable the cache pending a response from the cache owner?
 
Looks like it has gone with the tree.

GZ is now a bare patch of dirt. I suspect the nearby construction site might have cleaned it up...

After spending the weekend 4WDing at the Argadells, it was time to head home sort of Wink. The temperature was around 41C and there were strong winds but I had airconditioning and plenty of water so lets go caching. Spent the day caching Pt Augusta and Pt Pirie but had to give up once the thunderstorms hit. Sad

A quick find and sign - good to see it here this time. TFTC. Big Grin

We had a TB that wanted to go West so we were looking for somewhere to drop it off before we headed North. This was one of the few caches listed as a regular so we choofed off to it. Doh!! didn't realise that this was now a small small container and our TB didn't fit.

A nice and warm day to do caching around Port Augusta today...took us ages before Mr Bushies2 finally found it...well hidden...took 2 trackables, the other 2 trackables weren't in the cache. Thanks missyhere.
 
27-Dec-11
This one definately took longer than expected. Had been told about this one previously so thought we'd have alook. Fluff had dug around a bit and must have moved it before Melon jumped in and found the little bugger.
 
27-Dec-11
Sorry but no cache for me today. For a 1.5 difficulty it didn't seem like it. I didn't find this one the last time I was here either so this is becoming one of those Nemesis caches.
Cheers from the Posspet Boys

We had prepared the cache information for our trip many months ago. Since then the coordinates for this cache had been changed. So, when we went to what we thought was GZ we "struck out". A quick check, the updated coordinates and a quick find was then made. TFTC missyhere

These trees must have been bred by a cacher. So many spots for a hide.
Thanks missyhere

Football or caching??? Caching won but would have been great to stay and watch the local game. A quick find under the scrutiny of the gateman. Left Beetles peg. TN. Thanks.
 
20-Jul-11
I went out for fuel and came home smelling of pepper. The location has changed since my last visit.
 
19-Jul-11
I was surprised how many possible hidey-holes there were at GZ – most of which I checked before finding the cache!
Thanks missyhere.
 
16-Jul-11
Nice quick find. Took the TB. Cheers and happy caching.

Yep, it's still there all right. Such a great spot for a cache. Reading the previous comments I was worried it would be gone but there it was whispering to come find me... Happy to have found your first cache Missy, to add to your second.
 
02-Jun-11
Another day in the Port, another hour or two to spend caching. It took just a few minutes to discover your great little cache. Thanks Missyhere
 
23-May-11
We pulled up here today to find the car park empty, we did notice quite a few ladies entering the area and heading out the back some where, some sporting event we presume. This wasn't a problem at gz and the cache was found in the first place we looked. It did seem quite obvious but as it has been here for quite awhile people mustn't frequent this area often.
Thanks missyhere for the cache

Great cache, found it with Bowz2. Good way to finish my first day in the world of geocaching. TFTC.
 
22-May-11
Decided that this afternoon was to be an introduction to caching for Mags2 as her own Geocacher identity. [^]
So we went looking for a few local caches as a gentle intro. (This was # 4).
Was just on dark and we didn’t have a torch Sad
So by the light of our Phone screens we managed to find easily, Good intro to caching and nice way to end the day with a happy “new” Cacher on board
However I hope the council doesn’t trim the tree as it might be a bit obvious!
Surprised
Somewhere in This area Bowz2 was considering a Bowz2 "Alone or Lonely" cache as the nearby Braddock park oval was originally a cemetery!! Surprised
The cemetery out near the horse stables lists the names of those buried here...
