KANGAROO OF SHELDRICK Coffin Bay, South Australia, Australia
By wheres wolly on 13-Aug-11. Waypoint GC32407

Found the old log book and lid and the rest of the broken plastic here

Today Davidwazza and I continued on our trip of caching out port Lincoln to the best we could, today we made our way from North Shields in and around coffin bay and the back roads. All up just over 50 finds for the day.

Thanks for the cache

This weekend, I joined gridge98 on a trip to Eyre Peninsula, primarily visiting Port Lincoln and its surroundings. We saw its famous marina full of trawlers, and we also ended up visiting Coffin Bay and enjoyed fresh oysters. A nice weekend with weather, and certainly a great vicinity to see.

Today, our plan was to head to the west side of Eyre Peninsula to Coffin Bay, and have lunch there. We enjoyed kilpatrick oysters (hopefully fresh?), before making our way north through Mount Dutton Bay, Farm Beach, and Coulta, and calling into Greenly Bay. We then looped back east through Koppio and Whites Flat, stopping off for a steep hike to North Block also. An enjoyable day to be out and about, with highlights being the coastal towns and views, and hills hike.

Whilst driving past this location, we called past and had a quick look for this archived cache. As it turned out, it was still present, but its condition was terrible, with plastic everywhere. We collected what we could. Thanks wheres wolly for the cache placement.

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 found and log signed. The reaper comes.

Having found a cache by the same CO that had been disabled, we decided to have a look for this disabled one as well.
We found the remains of a tupperware container with a broken lid, a badly dried out log book and some other rubbish about 12m from the co-ords listed as have others. It desperately requires maintenance.
Cheers
Lead 'n Lace.

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.

Hi there wheres wolly.

We found your cache **"KANGAROO OF SHELDRICK"** at 10:51:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 15702).

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around Coffin Bay today. On our journey we found a wide variety of container types amongst our 12 caches (& 1 DNF's) today. Thanks for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

We found this cache out in the open, 12 metres from where our GPS said it should be. We attempted some maintenance, but left it where we found it. [xx(][xx(]

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 12m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The cache was in a disgusting state. We spent some time drying it out, but it still needs some "Owner TLC".
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Found while walking around Coffin Bay on our first day staying here.

Find #7346**

Day four of the Nullarbor experience was here. This morning, I started in Port Lincoln, with the intent of being in Ceduna by nightfall. I had lots of caches I wanted to find, so made an early start.

This cache was a very quick find, although it is in bad need of some TLC from the cache owner Super wet inside, probably a good idea to replace both the log book AND the container.

**Thanks to wheres wolly for the cache. TNLN**

Container out in open, and badly broken. Everything inside wet and soggy. I left a dry piece of paper with my name on it, but definitely won't last.
