Logs
Was passing in the area, and saw that this had recently been archived, so thought I would help to clear up the remains of this cache. Looked around the nooks, and appear to be all clear, so I guess it has already been collected and discarded, cheers.
An action had been taken on this cache because of one of the following -
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.

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.

There have been logs stating the brokenness of this cache for months, now, and at least one ignored Needs Maintenance log. CO hasn’t been online for a while. This cache is now little more than a piece of litter. See photo. Can it either be fixed or closed, please?
Still there! Good spot. Also the egg cafe next door is definitely worth a visit. Tftc
Needs fixing container is broken but did find right when we were about to leave tftc
Couldnt find a cache. Given recent logs, thats no suprise.
Did find a bike though.

Tricky, once I worked out where this one was hidden had to wait for a muggle to pass before I could retrieve it.

Quick find, but as others have said, container is damaged and original log is kaput. Have placed a temporary replacement with some scrap paper from my work van 
This is a clever cache but alas the container has a broken and the log is soaked needs some TLC sooner rather than later TFTC
Hoped we might have more luck with this one in daylight, but not to be. We looked again everywhere we thought it could be. With CacheClosed1847.
First DNF of the evening with CacheClosed1847 and Bailes01. The photos showed we were looking in a spot it had been previously but obviously not now. It was dark by now so will come back in more light.
Found with butterflyjen, the cache was in the plain sight. So we tried to put it to a suitable spot. TFTC
A Sunday morning geocache outing with jc125jc. This one found lying on the ground. Put back in a safe sheltered spot.
For the past month or so I've been exploring all that RADalaide has to offer... And while I moved about, I found myself a cache a day to keep the doctor away.
Time has gotten in the way of logging with any kind of experience, so apologies to any COs reading late and repetitive logs... I really should start logging as I go
Wandering around the neighbourhood I came across this little park, and took a short tech-stop.... but the cache was not where I expected it to be. So much so that I almost walked away assuming it was MIA. Luckily I decided to check the manual before leaving though, as previous finders pointed me in the right direction. I turned and spotted a wee small cairn - and as I bent down to shift a few stones, I spotted the cache - just lying exposed on the ground. I added my name to the attendance roll, and then placed it back under the SPOR, figuring even if it wasnt the intended hiding place, it was better than where I found it.... but the CO might want to check on this one as it seems to have a habit of exposing itself
Thanks for the "simple" find!

Thanks for the "simple" find!hevwalker & I found the cache on the ground near the nearby sparky's box.
Not finding an obvious home near the structure,
we found some nearby rocks by another structure favoured by cachers.
Neat park & handy Munzee cap, thanks for bringing us here Woolly_

Next to a nice park with lots of hide options, so not sure why this particular hide location was chosen?!? Regardless, thank you for the cache. TNLNSL
Great little park to keep geokid amused for a while. Cache not in obvious spot but found all the same. Lots of Muggles on a cold Saturday arvo.
A quick drive-by grab in the cover of darkness at 19:22 on the 1st day of Lovely Spring [^]. Nice container blends in a bit with it's hiding spot 
All is good and dry with it and it's log. TFTC Woolly
All is good and dry with it and it's log. TFTC Woolly almost fooled us with a few "obvious" spots at GZ! but found it without too long a hunt. TFTC.
Second time around for this one, this time in the daylight - not where we expected... but don't know how we missed it last time! TFTC
Found while on a smilie hunt just south of the airport.
Thanks for the cache Woolly_

Fossicked around in the dark for quite a while, check all the obvious places, but no luck. Another one on the DNF list... for now
Day 187 of "consecutive days with finds". Cache #1287.
Came back to this area for another job, and found another cache on my way home.
Checked the number 1 possible place, up and down, but nothing unusual.
Checked the number 2 possible place, up and down, still cannot find it.
Double checked. Unsuccessful.
Read the previous log, and have an idea. Well, this should be the most possible place.
Cache was in a good condition. Signed the log.
Thanks for the cache, Woolly.

A nice easy find. Thanks Rod81w for the maintenance. 6/06/2016, 5:15 PM Find #2250
Out with the daughter and noticed this missing. Placed new container and log. HINT stobie pole
I can't find it. Can anyone. It was a dark night but I had three torches and a cache trained dog. Can anyone confirm this cache is still in place?
Had a crack without reading previous logs .Have to agree hidey hole is empty,thanks for the hunt Woolly
I feel as though I should log this as found because we found the hole it should have been in . Definitely needs replacing or disabling
Most definantly Muggled me thinks. Should have been an easy peasy find according to one of the pics in the gallery and the GPS being deadly accurate. The crevice where it hides is now vacant. "Spiders, you can return home now" lol Just a heads up for the CO. "A tougher hide may be required" (waxing poet there lol)
Just a heads up for the CO. "A tougher hide may be required" (waxing poet there lol) While I was out and trying to be discrete (me - discrete - ha ha!!) a guy called from the playground "hey you're after that geocache thingy aren't ya!".
After a timid response of "yeah, maybe" he said "no problem it's right there - oh hang on the bugger's gone". So it looks like it's been pinched!

A quick find with the squirrel to fill another gap in the calendar. A real shame about the spoiler pic. TFTC
A quick and easy find. As everyone else has said the photo does make it easy. TFTC
On an evening's geocaching and planespotting date with a certain strangeman another good find in between planespots. TFTC
another good find in between planespots. TFTC Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi. Attending a course nearby and was early so decided to detour and find a cache or two. Parked nearby and wandered over to GZ and made a quick find. Sign log and replace. The local tech stop is my favorite tech shop but luckily they were not open otherwise I would have been late. Gratias pro cache.
Found after a search that took a bit longer than it should have. Didn't stop by at the tech shop although it was tempting! TFTC
