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.

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.

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 listing and post a new 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.

Went for a hunt and with 2 sets of eyes we both couldn't manage a find. A great little secret park though!
 
13-May-17
Great hide, it blends in very well! Beautiful bush reserve with lots of birds around as the park was deserted. Great little playground as well. Thank you for the cache 3ForTheHoard.

Hi there 3ForTheHoard.

We found your cache **"Panning for Caches"** at 12:30:00 PM today. This cache makes our find count 14708.

We usually start the day off by nominating a cache some distance away from our camp site and then take a route that is mostly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route.

We found 6 caches today & DNF'd 0. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking. Wink
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

08-May-16
TFTC. Another worthwhile hidden park that geocaching has uncovered. Thanks!
 
18-Apr-16
This was a nice park to visit with interesting equipment for kids to play on. The cache was a fairly easy find. I found one just like this near Bibra Lake yesterday. Signed log and replaced as found. Thanks for the clever hide. I'll give it a favourite point.
 
20-Feb-16
Oh my word! You would not believe how hard the geokids & i have searched for this! At least 5 seperate visits and a few hours of hunting and then *boom* thete it is. SIMPLE yet tricky! LOL! Great cache! One of our favourite parks (which is why we kept coming back) TFTC! <3

TFTC nice easy find.... was panning for gold but only found lots of limestone rocks...Oh well have to come back another day to find the gold!!! At least Disney and miss lulu enjoyed it.

Park was busy, lots of kids and barbecue area packed, but still managed to get it quite easily.
Last one for today, now to head back to the car at Bunnings.

Easy find and all in good order.TFTC

Sat down and saw something suspicious. Didn't really think it would be it and wasn't going to check. So glad I did. Bingo!!! What a super fabulous park. Thanks for bringing us here.
 
03-Sep-15
Off with megawat60 to widen our cache coverage. We parked nearby and walked to this delightful area. The search took a while. Then a Mum and Dad and a Rugrat arrived and started to play with the equipment, which was fun for us to watch. They were so engrossed with it, that they paid no attention to us, and eventually megawat60 made the find, so all is well with the cache. TFTC and bringing us here, 3ForTheHoard!
 
03-Sep-15
Out with m4yb grabbing and closing in another area on my map. If I lived in Hamersely I would love this park and I can imagine having great family/neighbourly times over festive seasons.

While watching some muggles play on the great equipment I used great stealth to make a great find of a well camoed cache.

Great also to see a nice well maintained cache with a nice new log, thanks.

Thanks for this smily 3ForTheHoard.
 
22-Aug-15
After a bit of a hunt following hints and using the photo clue we had no luck finding this one
 
22-Aug-15
Did not find cache after a very thorough search. Very cool little park for the kids though.
 
21-Jun-15
Awesome cache!!! What a fantastic park TFTC
 
07-Jun-15
Found it! Log is ruined, needs maintenance
 
07-Jun-15
I was unable to sign the log as it has disintegrated and needs to be replaced. Sending you a photo to prove my find. Thanks, 3ForTheHoard Smile

I wanted a special cache for my 250th find and this one seemed appropriate with the "goldrush" theme and 13 favourite points. But late on a Sunday afternoon proved to be a very popular time to be there - probably because it was such a beautiful day for winter! There were no less than 12 adults, 8 kids and 10 dogs using the park during a little over an hour that I waited for them to clear! But it was worth it. This is a magnificent park (wish my kids were little again to bring them here). So a favourite point from me for the park, the theme and my 250th cache! TFTC, 3ForTheHoard Smile
 
31-May-15
Great park, great hide. Tftc
 
07-Feb-15
Quick find on a night hunt. Just missed sticking my head through a large spider web and web creator. Log is full and needs replacing. TFTC.
 
19-Jan-15
The log is quite worn and full, needs replacement.
 
19-Jan-15
Quick Monday caching for filling the gap in the stat.
Found this one quickly in this beautiful park, TFTH.
 
22-Dec-14
Found
 
22-Dec-14
Great cache!
 
20-Dec-14
Took us about 5 minutes to locate the cache. The GPS on the phone took us within 2 metres of the cache. Super cool cache by the way! Thank you!! Smile
 
03-Dec-14
I initially searched the wrong side of the path but with nothing obvious I looked over the other side and saw a likely area. I uncovered it and saw a familiar hide that had been painted to change its appearance. TFTC.
 
07-Nov-14
What a lovely playground, glad I didn't visit on a weekend though! Quick find here, disturbed a millipede residing in the cache. TFTC Smile
 
26-Oct-14
Found this one last Saturday just before the big and sudden hail storm. Awesome little spot for the geo kids to get some gold fever. Thank goodness for geocaching otherwise we would never have been brought to this spot. Tftc 3ForTheHoard.
 
27-Sep-14
Found it sneaky basted only took us 5 minutes best hiding spot but rymes with sarty fical clock
 
16-Aug-14
First time doing this activity. Did not find it. Lovely park though
 
16-Aug-14
We couldn't find this one, so the kids were a little disappointed. Hopefully if we go back another time with fresh eyes we might see it.
 
16-Aug-14
Didn't find this one Sad
 
29-Jul-14
TFTC! Picked up this cache on a geo run with Jacobs Crew. We started off the day chasing some FTF's that had dropped earlier in the morning before heading NOR to cleanup a number of hides. Was a great day out with good company, made about 50 finds for the day which was great. Thanks
 
28-Jul-14
Spend the day with Branzy12, picking up some caches in the area, nice hide here...TFTC
 
13-Jul-14
Took a while but being such a nice day and great place for kids there was no rush. Good spot
 
10-May-14
So tricky! Looked around for 30mims and finally found it when we really looked on our hands and knees. Super camouflage!
 
27-Apr-14
Very tricky. Children got disappointed after we couldn't find. Looked under and around every rock to no avail Sad
 
27-Dec-13
A pity I didn't have the kids with me as they'd have loved the playground. The cache is possibly a bit more difficult now as it appears to have been covered by fresh mulch. TFTC.
 
21-Dec-13
Took me ages but finally found it.
Very clever.
Def fav for me.
Thanks 3ForTheHoard
 
05-Dec-13

Nice container and awesome lay ground TFTC
 
16-Jul-13
Found @ 14:32!

My second attempt at this cache - the confirmation from the CO convinced me to have another go, this time after (and during) fairly heavy rain!

Arrived where I spent a long time looking the last time I was here and spotted the cache immediately! It was also of a type I was expecting!

Wish I took a photo of the exact spot the last time I visited as it would help me decide if I was blind, or whether the cache had moved since!

I can't believe that there were four DNFs in a row when this is so easy to spot...!

This is a great play area - wish I was a child again!

TFTC!
 
13-Jul-13
After 4 DNFs in a row, we've decided to write a nice note to reassure you all that the cache is still there... you're just not looking hard enough! Smile

The GPS on the phone got within 1m of the cache.

Good luck all!
 
08-Jul-13
DNF @ 17:05!

Had a look around almost every rock, especially the holes below some at GZ, but found nothing...

This is a great little play area, so it would be good if this cache could have its presence confirmed or be replaced if missing.

Thanks for showing me this place anyway!
 
04-May-13
Too many rocks. Time for a check-up?
 
15-Apr-13
Nice park but no luck today TFTC
 
13-Feb-13
Tried for a solo late night grab. No luck...hopefully next time!
