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.

Could not find and now we see that it has many DNF's since the flood in early Nov. 2015. The equipment and the cache are gone. It is time to archive the cache. - Zeke & George of Hot Springs, Arkansas, USA

Another dnf. 12 sleepers, looked behind, between, above, around, underneath, on top of....everywhere!!! Needs GO attention. Lovely spot for to observe finches and wrens and peaceful flow of water.

Was here with Solving4X the day after the flood. CO should please check it.
 
17-Jan-16
Tried searching high and low. We then read the log and agree with those before us, I think this one floated away. Thanks for bringing us here anyway.
 
24-Nov-15
Searched the area, but sadly a DNF for us here today.

Like the previous loggers it seems unlikely cache is in place after the flood.

Thanks anyway robtas

Creek has been flooded, seems cache has become flotsam.
 
20-Nov-15
Arrived at this nice little park - could not find "an historical piece of equipment" but armed with the additional hint and GZ, knew where to look.

BUT we had been told by locals that they had a flood through here last week, and we could see the height of the water! This indicates the cache may have been washed away. CO needs to check.
 
20-Nov-15
Left the geovan at Lagoon Beach, while we went for a drive, and of course, chase some caches as well.
Some we found, some we didn't.

After riding the elephant we arrived at the very neat and pretty town of St.Mary's. After a brief search we had the cache in hand, and grabbed a couple of excellent salad rolls for lunch at the takeaway. After a short break, it's time to get moving, we only have a few days left, and plenty of Tasmania to see before we head back to Victoria. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

16-Feb-15
We had our lunch in this pretty little park and then went in search for the cache and the historical piece of equipment. We saw nothing that would rate as historical and used the hint to finally home in on the cache. TFTC
 
16-Feb-15
After a longer than expected meander through the Fingal Valley (in which we found no caches because we weren't looking, but in which we saw some lovely historic churches) and then a detour to the South Sister lookout (where a possibly misleading sign meant we didn't go looking for the caches there) we stopped for a late picnic lunch by the little creek in St Marys. On checking the GPS I find there's a cache nearby. We toddled off to find it, expecting something a little more substantial/interesting from the hint ... but we soon had the cache in hand anyway.

And probably new log book.

Second in St Mary's and for the trip. Weather great for a stroll in the park. Think we will visit the bakery opposite when we leave. It was a quiet afternoon, no muggles, and a quick find. SL and replaced cache into its hideout.

Cute little antique here, and a reasonably quick cache find. Having lots of fun driving between Freycinet and Launceston. There doesn't seem to be much of anyone else around though...? TFTC!
 
18-Mar-13
Nice easy find thanks. A bit of a scratch around had the cache in hand. This trip to Tasmania going anticlockwise from Devonport is our third trip and the first in our motorhome. This is another cache, there will be many more, hopefully.

Found along our Tasmania round trip. Thanks for the hide.

The area around the cache was fenced off. Nobody was around so I jumped the fence and found me a cache. This is an interesting little display.

Thanks for the cache robtas.
 
19-Jan-13
Thanks for a reason for a stop today.
 
18-Jan-13
A very late log I'm afraid, having just completed a thorough reconciliation of finds whilst out on adventures with Cached and/or Robtas - slacky Wacky missed just a few (cough cough)
Many thanks robtas from the Wacky one Cool

Geo Junior and i decided to do a few caches as we wandered the North East coast of this very pretty area. We found a few and express our thanks to those creating the hoides. As always, this way you find some great spots and also discover a bit of history.

A quick find but did come away with a few scratches. Bunting around this interesting display item is in a bad way. Wondering if cachers did that!! Thanks.

Second or third time lucky. Found it at 2.45pm. Though I had crossed a safety line , but I think it was OK . Thanks.
