Logs

23-Nov-14
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 sometime in the near future, 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 28 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.

This cache has not really been found since Jan last year and despite repeated requests for maintenance, does not have any logs that the cache has been checked and is still there.
 
16-Oct-14
The geomutt enjoyed the stroll along here, but no sight of the cache.
 
10-Oct-14
Couldn't find it. Didn't understand the hint
 
31-Aug-14
Obviously gone walkies
 
14-Aug-14
Couldn't find this one as others have posted but there is a lot of new landscaping and wondering if it was cleared up
 
19-Jul-14
Out with the boys and could not find this one.

 
19-Jul-14
Out with Tardis trio and Team Scoobster for a spot of night caching, no luck for us tonight but there has been some cleanup and revegetation work here it may have been collected
 
21-Jun-14
Had a good look around and spotted a likely place, but nothing there Sad.
Then a muggle came along and started planting more shrubs nearby, so we abandoned our hunt [:o)].
We'll keep watch to see if anyone else finds it before returning.
Thanks Fair Dinkum.

Found the container with Dr Owl after a bit of a search. Placed a new log in the empty container. Hint doesn't seem to apply anymore!!
 
31-May-14
No sign for a year, but a recent find meant it was worth a detour for Owl and CP Wanderer to check it out. CP found an empty container and they located a log from the car. The clue is now irrelevant, but the cache is there. The TB is probably long gone though.

Really easy and fun to find with the kids
 
17-Mar-14
Had a look, couldnt find it. Council has been busy here... Twisted
 
01-Jan-14
Looks like a lot of landscaping has been done recently. Since no one has been able to find it since Feb 2013 maybe the owner needs to confirm it's there.
 
Couldn't find this one today.
 
25-Aug-13
Had a good look around today, but no luck for us today. Signal was bouncing around a fair bit but after a good look decided to call it a day. Reading other logs it looks like this one is gone. Sad
 
14-Jun-13
DNF BFE Style without the GPS.
Found the location but it is empty.
Fine Elsewhere
 
09-Apr-13
Located what was probably the hiding place but it was not there
 
04-Mar-13
We look in THE spot where it would've been but found it empty.
Hope it gets fixed. TFTC

A nice hide, nearly missed it as the bark is covering it a bit. Grabbed this cache after doing a crazy dance of the Amazing Mawson Wherigo nearby. TFTC
 
31-Jan-13
Found on a little outing with ParisLaura, Kay-shazlo and wheezle.....Miss 6 wants to warn people of the path here, it bites lol and we had to sit in the car for a while nursing skinned knees. TFTC

Was dropping off a desirable TB in the area, and decided to go for a wander and pick up a few extra caches. This was the first on the list! Took a little longer than I'd like to admit, and actually found the container by accident with my foot! TFTC Fair Dinkum!
 
26-Dec-12
Though a bit weary after the big day yesterday it just took a little encouragement from Mr Honeysucker and caching enthusiasts Team Robins and of course Brucie were up for doing a few caches. This was one they targetted and were able to find.
Nice work thanks to Fair_Dinkum.

Sorry for the lateness of the log. Was checking my finds list and discovered I missed this one. TFTC
 
25-Sep-12
Found by Ray at 2:55PM on the 25th of September. A lovely day for being out and about and enjoying some caching. The cache contents and log book are extremly wet. TNLN. TFTC. The Nomads.

Found while out with team scallywag and the wild gang. TFTC
Cache is wet and needs some modifications.
 
14-Sep-12
everything is soaked
 
13-Sep-12
found second attept with samkayxx first time round was dark and rainy, no way we would have found it in the dark, this time we were straight onto it, log is soaked and other contents, needs tlc tftc xx
 
13-Sep-12
Found on second attempt, after finding we realized why we didn't find it the first time when it was dark found with kimanddrew
 
22-Aug-12
I walked straight up to this one and spotted it straight away. ( I have a similar hide.)

This cache needs a trip home to dry out. The log is damp. It did not help that the log bag was inside out and not zipped up.

Nice spot.

Took us awhile! Wet...
 
28-Jul-12
Very quick easy find with Jaded Optimists. TFTC
 
28-Jul-12
Spotted almost as soon as I got to GZ. Tftc.
 
23-Jul-12
Gotcha!


Took two attempts to get this one. How did I miss it the first time? I don't know. Maybe it was the scratching around in the dark with the world's smallest torch. But then again, it worked the second time...


And, yes, the log book is very wet. Turned the bag inside out because the outside was drier than the inside.


Thanks

 
22-Jul-12
Definately saturated logbook, I didnt even attempt to open it.
Took the geocoin to move along.
Thanks

Log is wet through..

Hard to understand because of the container its in, and a zip lock bag :S
 
11-Jun-12
Great hint for this. We Knew what to look for before we had got there. Logbook was quite wet but still managed to write something on there Very Happy TFTC
 
11-Jun-12
We had a very good clue what this would be from the hint... but as we got to GZ we forgot and had to have another look... As we did we found it straight away with out moving a centimeter.

Thanks for the Cache Very Happy

Found today on our Mawson Lakes cache-date. Quick find thanks to the hint. Left a calling card. TFTC
 
15-May-12
A nice little spot for a walk after dark! Mind you, these days it is dark everynight before I can get out of work and attempt to locus cache Wink

Needed my daily cache fix and today Mr Pope very quickly provided it. I was especially grateful that, unlike last night's cache, the only water around here was in the wetlands and not on the bushes where it could drip onto me Smile

No council workers today. They must all be asleep at the shovel. No catholics seen as well.

A quiet place on Sunday morning. Was everyone at church?

Thanks to Fair_Dinkum and clear skies from TeamAstro.

I was pretty sure that I knew what I was looking for, but in the dark it was a tough call to spot it. After about five circuits around GZ, I finally found what I was looking for. A nice spot, but the neighbours must have wondered why someone was walking in circles here with a torch...

TNLN - Thanks Fair Dinkum!

Seen a few caches like this so was able to grab it immediately!

A lovely areaBig Grin
Have been for walks a few times along here (I had at one stage considered putting a waypoint on the little island close by) over the years and it is always nice. If one climbs to the top by the fence you get a great view over Mawson Lakes, and see how few houses for such a modern area have solar panels.
After trying to break my back lower down, I found the neatly hidden cache, but alas not a virgin logbook (but then I did have to wait an hour until lunchtime after publicationSmile).
Made the climb to the top and enjoyed the views whilst logging, before returning and enjoying a lunchtime walk.
TNLN, TFTC Fair_Dinkum

CheersCool

FTF with Don't Panic Arthur at 1139 Cool
Was at home with DPA with not much to do when a couple of new ones came out. Went for this one first and was rewarded with a virgin log book. Now off to the other one.
Thanks for the cache Fair Dinkum.
