As this cache has been out of action for too long, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Hi

It appears that this cache has been inactive for quite some time. Is it going to be replaced or should it be archived to make room for possible future caches? If the cache owner does not contact me within Three Weeks, I'll assume the cache needs to be archived.

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever. Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks for your understanding,

Regards,
TheCur8or

Quick find

Tftc very quiet and serene here today beat hide

Rather a nice spot

Cache was quickly located. This isn't too far from the high school that I went to many years ago.

Easy find. Enjoyed driving here to find it. Great spot for kids.

*Unusual but not unknown for a found log to disappear. Luckily I keep a [record](https://geocaching.com.au/log/14302767). Re-logging my found it log. Normally deleted logs generate a notification so this was unexpected.*

An opportune time to grab some P'n'Gs on a push northwards before the storm to check in on some cause célèbres. Hadn't plotted many caches off the main road but couldn't resist a quick easy find after having a mom-look at Peggydale for the muggled cache that hasn't been repaired yet. If anyone was home, they might get a look of me trying to shake off all the sticky leaves I was draped in lol. Groan my hair is so curly. Found the cache and added another logbook. The hide could use another zippy tie as the other one perished and snapped. Cache returned and re-hidden. Thanks for the cache john.gnz

Easy find

Excellent day's exploration around the Balclutha area. A touch a Spring in the air, lambs in the paddock and daffodils not far away from flowering.

A quick find after navigating the streets.

TFTC

Long weekend and time for KJR to head down to the Catlins for another geocaching adventure. Day 5 and a lovely sunny (but fresh) winters day spent exploring around the Balclutha area. J & R enjoyed having the playground all to themselves while K found and signed the log. Am very surprised this hasn't been muggled! TFTC

Holidaying in the area with tmann421 and collecting some caches along the way.

A nice quick find for us here today. TFTC

Another good find with Just-Lookin.
Really enjoyed the drive around finding caches in this area.

Bold hide - thanks
Soon found and signed. TFTC

Nice easy find. We are amazed that it hasn't been muggled.

Nice and easy for morning run. Signed bb2. TFTC

What an awesome wee park this is well set out and so new and shiny. Wish we had stuff like this to play on when we were kids. Altho some of the the things we had to play wouldn't meet health and safety regulations now days and they were the best to play on oh well got to keep the wee kiddies safe. It was to hot to sit in the sun and relax today so it was a quick park and grab then on my way. TFTC ☺

Found it, easy find, kids loved it

Hard to get the lid off.im 8

Very easy find, kids enjoyed the park

Thanks to all the owners of the geocaches that we found today in Balclutha and on the way to Milton, Waihola, Taieri Mouth, Brighton and Dunedin. We had a lot of splendid scenic views!
TFTC and greetings from Belgium.

Everyone had a play on the equipment, cache was nice and obvious. Cheers

Quick find,

Found on the move, Dunedin to Invercargill road trip with detours on a magnificent balmy spring day.
Oooer, interesting log entry indicates that muggles of a certain disposition have left their mark here. Otherwise all good.
We much enjoyed the spring blooms that abounded here and in surrounding gardens.
Cache find was straightforward, log signed; cache then safely re-hiden, just as found.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

6333. A quick find in the rain. Some great neighborhood support in getting the playground established. Very easy find as visible from several metres away at the right angle. Thanks. Rodney and Iris.

Spotted this one from the car, obviously has been found by local young muggles who seem to have a fascination with male anatomy, didnt have a eraser handy for some graffiti clean up.

During our holidays in beautiful NZ with res nullius, we found this cache. This will be our most southern cache!
Greetings from Austria.

Good one. Thanks. I used to cut through this park on my way home from school.

TFTC. Was home for the holidays and it is nearby

Set off from Dunedin after the Extra hour event since we were already awake anyway for an early morning caching raid to get some caches for the GC3QY7J night caching challenge.

No time to take a seat although the park looked nice from what we could see! TFTC!!

Came down to Dunedin for the weekend - mostly for the event, but also to catch up with the family
Had a great weekend caching all round the city, getting caches that have been published since my last visit, as well as a few puzzles that I had time for.

After the extra hour event, mum and I went night caching! We came down Balclutha ways, as this was one of the few areas mum hasn't already cleared out nearby!!

Wasn't expecting something this huge!!!

Consec caching day # 518

We decided this cache would have to wait until another time, as there was a large family group having a party/picnic at the playground today

kids enjoyed this one

We stopped off here on the way back to Dunedin. Plenty of motorbikes, and the associated increased police presence, going past heading home after the Burt Munro Challenge.

There was a muggle over the road but we quickly retreived and replaced the cache.

Have not been in this part of town before today. nice cache.

Found with Varuna from Aust. A beautiful little park. Left a fairy reading a book.

After NZ Mega event, accompanied with Sp00k & ciotach on travelling south/west tour. Thanks for the cache and fun.
