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.

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.

Limited opportunity to look due to muggles. Lovely spot though.
 
29-Nov-17
I had a quick look but was a little unsure if this was still here and I didn't want to disturb the vegetation too much. I will be back.
A lovely spot, well worth a visit.
Thanks

The CO needs to check on this one as the tree at GZ has been chopped down. There are lots of bee attracting plants so I wasn't going to check them and it was no where to be found anywhere else I looked either. Time to check or Archive this one.
 
17-Mar-17
Got here this morning but the place was full of kayaking, sailing and other water sport muggles so no chance to grab this one. I will come back later.
 
17-Mar-17
Came back this afternoon as it is right near where I am House Sitting 2 Groodle Dogs. All the water sport Muggles had packed up for the day and gone but this did not help me as I had a good look but I think this cache is gone.
 
01-Jan-17
Couldn't find
 
22-Oct-16
Coordinates have this on private property for starters, but in addition there have been trees cut down and the area cleared, but now overgrown with weeds.

I suspect this cache has been muggled.
 
22-Aug-16
Tried to find but area looks like it's suffered from a bit of storm damage, large tree cut down.

25-Mar-16
We were unable to make the trip the other day to come and replace the cache but we are currently in victor for easter so we are going to replace the cache later today! It should be fine to come find by tomorrow! Smile
 
17-Mar-16
Has this cache been replaced yet?
 
21-Feb-16
We have noticed that people have not been able to find this geocache in a while so we assume it has been stolen. We will be making the trip into Victor in the next week to come and replace the cache with a new one. You all should be able to visit this cache soon, sorry for the inconvenience geocache hunters but fear not it will return soon.

Did not find

Nice easy one with the new co ordinates . Thanks to that
 
16-Nov-15
We hunted around the bushes and tried the clue to no avail. A better clue might be helpful for us desperados.
 
21-Oct-15
This took a bit to find. Sad to see the burnt out house over the road but otherwise a lovely location. Took the hint too literally and didn't explore far enough but once I saw the previous log stating it was in the tree it was a quick find. I think the hint may need to be updated to avoid cachers damaging the gardens during their search. The coordinates that worked for me today were S35 34.266 E138 36.108. Thanks teyalily Big Grin

Owl was escorting some of the Stradbroke Venturers to Victor Harbor for a hike and decided there was enough time for a cache on the way. The satloc was diabolical and they were wandering around the bushes when a voice called, "Are you geocaching?" (And Owl thought they were being so subtle!) Lindylou didn't have suitable shoes for a search, so Owl took the cache out to her to sign. Then it was off to the Bluff to meet the others.
 
08-Mar-15
Tftc easy find

Lovely sunny day with kids splashing in the water and adults sitting and watching in the beautiful sunshine. Found with Moses on the move while having a break.

Really nice cache! I have never seen or heard of this really nice little lake/park so it was great to find out about it while doing a cache. Very easy, rated to high in my opinion. There were some really cool swaps and cool things inside the cache. After not looking very hard, the cache was in hand and the log book was signed. Thanks, LuciaDoyle123

28-Dec-14
First find today out and about exploring the area around our accommodation. I was almost ready to give up as the GPSr and hint had me looking in completely unrelated places but thankfully I read the previous logs before leaving and soon found the hide. TN, left Sheep Duck TB as it seemed an appropriate place for it to be Smile TFTC teyalily

# 6659. Robmc and I awoke to another glorious sunny day. Good. Time for a tram ride to Granite Island. We might even find the 4 caches out there and walk the walk. What a fantastic place, great views all the way around.

Making our way back to our accommodation and this one popped up on the radar. What a truly gorgeous place and we had it all to ourselves. The houses must just love their water views, and beach. Rob made the find quickly and after signing we went to the sand and admired the view.

Thanks teyalily

Granite Island today with BettyBoo3747. We took the horse drawn tram out to the Island and walked the loop walk around the island. Lovely day for it, seas flat as a tack and blue skies.
We were wondering what we would find after reading the description on the way to the cache, but it lives up to its description. An amazing sight in the middle of the suburb.
Unfortunately, we had forgotten the spade and bucket so we settled with a good sized cache instead.
Thanks, Robmc.

Took us a while!

Found with the hero hubby on a romantic weekend away. Thanks.

A few days up at Strathalbyn with Mrs Seek3rs ... And a trip into Victor Harbour today....

Whilst Mrs Seek3rs was enjoying the sun in the car (sleeping!), Mr Seek3rs stopped off at this nice park.
Was pretty easy to find this cache, given that it was right out in the clearing under these trees.
I suspect the recent wind had dislodged it from its hide.
So I put it back where I thought it should go, making it a bit more secure from muggles (and a hit harder to find than I found it!)


Seek3r-ed and found!
