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 within 7 days, 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 7 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.

With the history of needs maintenance dnf's and one write note over the last five months and no owner comment it certainly needs some attention
 
26-Jan-16
Please replace or archive. Thanks.
 
25-Jan-16
Should have read previous logs before I hunted for 20 mins - no sign of it
 
21-Jan-16
Spent a while hunting but nothing to see so I think it needs a replacement or confirmation that everyone for the last few months is missing something Sad having a nice walk though!

As previous comments we found the pencil but no cache. Pretty sure we were looking in the right place but no cache to be seen.
 
21-Sep-15
Hi Gemjay, we were here today with Selva Girls who have previously found the cache and sadly it is missing. The pencil was tucked into a curve of the tree just above the hide but nothing else to be found here, although we checked the structure and the surrounding area. CO check may be required please.
 
20-Sep-15
Here today with Selva Girls (previous finders) and sadly no container to be found. A lonely pencil remained tucked into a nook nearby but sadly no trace of the container or its contents Twisted. Tfth Gemjay

Found our second cache - fun, starting to get the hang of Geocaching
 
09-Apr-15
Visiting the nearby Botanical Gardens today and I decided to grab a few caches from here in the cemetery.

The code on the lid is very faded but I'm pretty sure I managed to read it correctly. I'll find out when I go for the final. Smile

It's a rainy old day but I just was dying to stop in and grab at least one from the Toowong cemetery. ( see what I did there). I nice easy drive by. I love these caches that feed my addiction when I am working.
 
20-Jan-15
Out today enjoying a full day of solo caching while the kids are otherwise occupied. Trying to rack up a few more numbers for an upcoming milestone, while also targeting caches to fill empty spots on our DT grid. Out the door at 0500 and powered on to find 38 caches, including 6 previously solved puzzles and 3 multis, picked up 3 new TB's and dropped off 2 old ones. Whew what an awesome adventure!! This one was a quick Park n grab, no trouble Spotting duets being exposed. Hid with more cover TFTC

06-Nov-14
TFTC. Last few hours in Oz and I managed to fit in just one more cache. It turned into a drive by which was cool as time was becoming precious.
Speedy find in sure a great spot.
Thanks GemJay for placing the cache.

Great spot and fairly quick find considering half our time was spent avoiding the muggles TFTC

I'm fascinated by cemetaries (especially old ones and the ones in foreign countries), so this was a must on our way to Mt. Coot-tha. Took some time and detours to get here by foot from Auchenflower train station. But we made it and were probably the only (living) people there on a Thursday morning. Thanks for showing us the place!

Popped out for a quick one at lunch today with Selva Girls. Didn't have too much trouble finding this one, just had to make sure there were no muggles around watching us. There was a car, but they were a bit away and I'm sure they weren't looking at us. We signed it off and got our hint. Back to work! TFTC!
 
24-Sep-14

Out at Mt Cootha yesterday and popped in here to find a cache of the day. We found this one easily enough, signed then replaced. We then decided to try find the gave of Mrs Moose' great grandmother using BCC records and cemetery map. Eventually found her site but not before noting the sad state of repair of many of the surrounding sites. Tftc GemJay
 
03-Jul-14
Spotted quickly with a cacher's eye as historical muggles circled the nearby monuments. Thanks GemJay.
 
29-Jun-14
Beautiful cemetery!

Found it in the open in the general vicinity. Logged and concealed again. TFTC

As we approached GZ we noticed a family tending to a nearby grave so we went and found another cache before returning to this one a bit later. We made a quick find. TNLN TFTC.
 
21-May-14
Had some work to do on the dark side so I had an opportunity to grab this one on the way back to work. The groundsmen drove past me at the most inopportune moment but didn't give me a second glance! Thank you for placing this one Big Grin
 
18-May-14
Beatiful day for a stroll, easy find tftc
 
11-May-14
Found it quickly. Cache could do with a bit of love. It was totally empty with no swaps. Only a log. Thanks for the cache. We enjoyed looking at the nearby gravestones especially those of the little children and babies. So nice they are still remembered and thought of today.
 
12-Apr-14
Walking around "The Dead Centre Of Town" whilst in Brissy for a couple of days I managed to claim this one. It was a bit of a worry because the critter was clearly visible from the road. Grabbed it anyway before the gardeners did, and was happily filling in the log when a couple of muggles and their mugglemutt decided to camp out on an adjacent gravestone . Had to take a little walk around the place supposedly studying gravestones hoping that they were not there for the day but eventually they moved on. Replaced the cache and took a little time to ensure that it was hidden away from prying eyes. TFTC GemJay.

Guessed it might be here. TFT

On arrival at GZ we could see the cache lying exposed on the ground. Perhaps it was animal interference? Cache was unopened and contents in good order.
Collected the clue. Hopefully one day soon we'll have them all.
Had a good look around the cemetery while here - interesting.
Thanks GemJay
