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.

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.

17-Jan-16
I made an afternoon to do Mulgoa Rd from the M4 to Wallacia and then 3 different ways from Wallacia.
It was almost the perfect day with 28 finds and one DNF.

An interesting piece of history.
It was in an obvious place. The log needs attention as it is damp and mould spots are forming.

09-Nov-15
On a short drive around from Penrith to Luddenham across to Wallacia then back to Penrith I found 9 caches between Luddenham and Wallacia.
My ninth find of the morning and where I called it quits to get home for lunch.
Was able to park my car fairly close so it was not a long walk to GZ. A short search soon revealed the prize. Retrieved cache, signed log and replaced. tftc

We parked on the wrong side of the road for this one and had to cross the busy traffic. Once we reached the GZ, the GeoBrother was poking around and quickly found the container. TFTC!

Found this with the GeoBrother.

At the moment I'm on a work and travel backpacking trip through the world. Most of the first two years I'll spend in Australia and I'm trying to solve my 365 days of caching challenge during this trip. The chance of having a moving home zone should be taken, as it will make the challenge so much easier.

This one was a quick and easy find.
Logbook is soaked..

TFTC and greetings from Germany

#1209 (6 of 16 today)

Decided to mine an area I have not visited before to grab caches.
All up a successful day with fifteen found out of fifteen with two Did Not Attempts (one muggled out and one road worker-ed out).
A few were somewhat uncovered when I found them - I added extra camo in those instances.

A lot of the caches were Boo related, with a few really interesting hides. An enjoyable afternoon was had - will have to return for more in the near future.
[center]* * * END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION * * *[/center]
Walked past Historic Home - Winbourne as not only were vehicles streaming in and out of the driveway, but the muggle over the road was sitting out front and the verandah of the cafe nearby was full as well.

So, I continued on to here.
Interesting history and a quick find - just looked in the right spot first.

This cache needs maintenance for two reasons - log only has 2 spots left and log was damp.
I was able to compete signing duties after leaving the paper out in the sun to dry for 10 minutes or so.

Then the walk back to the car and picked up two Munzees I'd ignored on the way out.

SEcond Time Lucky, Too cold for snakes... Nice Quick Hide. Right were I thought it would be.
 
08-Jul-13
A stray from Mulgoa Road Caches ... the help of All Strung Out a couple of days earlier pinpointed a likely place to park, as awkward as it is. A wander - well dash - across the road, being le 'mushroom, and a further dash back across to slash through a, thankfully, dry drainage gully to the point of interest.
Mindful of previous posts of cranky black snakes, wary indeed, but the seek was 'painless'.

Unsure about the return though: along a well defined track, a breath-holding find of multilayer fibro (asbestos?) sheets and litter recently dumped. Unsure ...but have sent an email to the EPA.
 
01-Jul-13
Much colder now. No snakes.
 
16-Jun-13
Dangerous place to stop. TFTC.
 
03-Jun-13
With the quick finds recently I thought I'd give it another go.
I parked about 5m away from gz, took a few steps and saw a large black snake coiled about 1m away from gz, tensing up as I approached.
Quick stop, walk backwards and into the car again.
Maybe next time...

5:11:00 PM: (29 of 133) Find#4550
Heading up to the Windosr invasion with Tankengine, Albida and Sol De lune from Canberra, signed logs with "Mast" or a sticker to save space.
Great to find all these caches enroute
lol a tricky access from the south with the road getting busy had to punch it to get into the siding.. but all good found quickly and the next trick was to back out and get back on the right side the road, but a gap in the traffic made it easy..
 
31-May-13
Windsor trip June 2013 with Mtrax, Tankengine and Sol de Lune. Apart from the overly dramatic road exit we managed to get this one ok. Thanks.

Found with Mtrax, Albida and Tankengine as we headed towards Windsor for the weekend. (Some logs were signed as M.A.S.T - Mtrax, Albida, Sol de Lune, Tankengine - to save space....)

Getting dark by this stage but the cache was found a little search.

Thanks for the cache glenNally...
 
31-May-13
Hmmm the entry by car was a little nasty! Found on our Windsor Invasion weekend with Mtrax, Albida33 and Sol de lune!
We had stickers for many of the finds, but where the log was too small, we signed it as MAST (Mtrax, Albida33, Sol de lune, Tankengine). Had a great weekend, well up until the Sunday, when the rain set in! Thanks GW!
 
25-May-13
not an easy park...almost got stuck due to very muddy ground...
 
22-May-13
Looked in the obvious places with no luck, then I trod on it about a metre from where I think it should have been. Signed & replaced where I thought it should go. Maybe some critters have been around. tftc
 
10-Mar-13
Looked for 10 mins no luck - too much overgrowth could be snakes
