One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.

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 replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Been down and confirmed it's gone. Will need to rethink this hide as the number of houses opposite has grown and this is in clear view of the numerous neighbours. Will venture past the park a few times in next couple of weeks. If I don't come up with a solution by end of Sept will archive.

16-Jan-15
We were staying in Korumburra for a couple of days with The Drovers with the main goal of completing the rail trail and picking up a few challenge caches.
Along the way we also visited many other interesting caches.
We parked the car and after a quick check to see there were no muggles around we made our way to gz where the cache was located in the third place we checked and our name was added to the log.
Thanks for the cache
 
15-Jan-15
Camped at Korumburra, and even with light rain, we went out to pick up a few caches.

Playground was empty, which made for a quick find.
Many thanks for placing this cache, crig, for us and others to find.

With ceebee2013 and Geogran1937. Apart from one man washing his car further up the hill and not a problem, there wasn't a Muggle in sight. Everybody inside watching football?

Found in the company of Lisette and Jellybean. It's freezing today and raining, it's official! We are nuts! Made the mistake of walking through the playground to discover the tanbark was floating on top of the water. Lucky the boots are waterproof!

Great to find this one at last. Thanks for the new hide and coordinates. Felt a bit exposed but hopefully got away with it.
 
04-Apr-14
Checked it, and still there. Coords not perfect today, but get you close enough. Not on playground equipment.

Coordinates changed to:
S 38° 26.419 E 145° 48.804

Distance from original: 149.5 feet or 45.6 meters.
Old spot has had a bit of a retaining wall fall on it. Moved it closer to the playground equipment, but still not on/in it.
 
06-Mar-14
New cache. See how long this one lasts. At least it won't have bits of retaining wall fall on it here.
 
29-Jan-14
Appears it's gone again!
Will rethink this hide.

29/01/2014 - > 1.40 pm - Didn't find it - with dgfb33 & geogran1937. GPS lead us to it's gz but we weren't able to find cache. We felt a bit exposed so didn't stay too long. .... Another PRICKLY hiding place? sigh ... [:-(] .. Hadn't thought to use a lost ball as a reason to be there ... would 80+ year old & 75+ year old & a daughter be throwing a ball around & NOT look suspicious? heh heh heh Wink

Didn't find this one today. Our GPS is putting us at the junction of a wall and garden where it looks like cachers have been over-enthusiastic in their searching. Stones have been overturned and as a result a couple of bricks have fallen out of the wall. As the grass was in the process of being cut, both in the park and the nature strip we didn't investigate further but it could be that this one is in need of maintenance.

A cold misty day to be out caching. Thanks Crigithis for enticing us out to find Traffic Control 2 & 3, and before it got dark picked up this one too. Thanks for the cache.
 
28-May-13
After a day working my way down to Bena, stopped and grabbed a few caches in Korrumburra before stopping at Jumbunna then home.

I pulled up near GZ and had a look around, this hasd me stumped then the phone rang, so moved on to not attract too much attention. Afterwards I PAF and was given a hint so quickly came back and my suspicions were correct when I found this sneaky hide. Signed log and replaced.

Thanks for the cache crigithis.

Drove up to the park and found a spot in the shade, walked through the park and took a quick look from that side, but only found a golf ball. Soon realized that I was on the wrong path and walked down and around, trying to use the golf-ball as an excuse to look some more. Found two rather cool and interesting cache-hide-type-containers, but both were devoid of caches and didn't match the description. Seems I attracted the attention of the 'up' neighbour because he started banging on posts, and then walked down even closer and started spraying the fence poles next to the path (well away from his property) with something just so he could look at me. Likely I had stayed too long poking in bushes, so when the 'down' neighbours arrived in their car, I figured it was time to give up on this one.

Well, we took an old tennis ball to gz and discovered that I'm a really bad throw. So we just had to spend some time rustling around in the greenery looking for the ball, oblivious to any muggles, and in the process discovered that the cache was now missing. It has now been replaced.
 
22-Jan-13
In betwen muggle work men and busy houses over the road located gz but was unable to search.
 
12-Jan-13
no luck with 3 sets of eyes. nice park tho
 
16-Dec-12
This one is really difficult to have a good look, with houses all around & muggles everywhere.
 
15-Dec-12
Just dunking tb's.
 
11-Dec-12
We started this search in ernest. I really felt we had the ability to get this one, but, not long after arriving at GZ, across the road, two muggle neigbours caught up with each other and began a nice long, LOUD chat about alomost everything you could imagine! We searched when we could, we nonchalantly searched when we couldn't, we were unable to find anything. I think as this area gets busier and busier, this cache will get harder and harder to find!
 
10-Dec-12
A lovely (hot) sunny day with no school and the day off for day1976 - perfect day for caching. Our day started with a morning rush to get out of the house, then calmed down as the day progressed. At 4:30 we finished our hunt with a stunning 14/19!!! (stunning for me (: (:)

Couldn't find. Gave up when muggles took over.
 
12-Nov-12
This one is a tricky little sucker,It's the second time at this one and I was happy to find it today.Sl Thanks Crigithis for the well camoed cache.
 
29-Aug-12
Third attempt to find this cache think we were looking for right camo. May have to give this one a miss TFTC
 
19-Aug-12
No luck this time around. heaps of muggles about

Two new caches had been published in the Tooradin area over night, and i'd just been there the day before. I saw that one was stil unfound so after doing some housework and gardening in the morning, I got my gear together, loaded the car up and my two boys and myself were heading out for a cache run along to Korrumburra for the afternoon.
Our fourth cache found in Korumburra this afternoon. I parked on the nature strip right in front of GZ so any muggles across the road could not see what we were doing. We wuickly found the cache and signed the log before the boys run up the path up the hill to the playground while I drove around.
This park must have the best views in the state. We had a play for a while before heading a little out of town for our last cache for the day.
Thanks crigithis.

Drove down last evening, but far too many muggles; so came by this morning - early - when it was still quiet. Took a bit of hunting, but found this good little cache. A really nice hide. TNLN SL

cheers

Looked for some time bit wary of cache due to proximity to houses and barking dog used hint but nothing struck us will return.

Smile Found with Hearse068 and Thing no2. What a nice little park in a hidden away spot. Such a lovely morning for caching. SL TFTC
 
25-Jan-12
Smile Found with Thing no2 and Thing no1. I had a good idea what we were looking for so suggested to the others what they should look for and Thing no2 spotted it quickly. Then it was a quick sign of the log and off we went as the dog was barking at us and there had been some other people who had just moved around the corner as we made our way to GZ we did think they were caches also but they moved on from GZ quickly as we approached. As we headed back to the park for a quick play the people returned only to ask us if we found it turns out it was the owner just checking to see if he put a log book in. Nice to meet up with other local caches. Thanks crigithis for the cache.
