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.

Please remember to return to the GZ and collect the cache or Check it has been removed if you have not already done so.

We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash and if you have any TB's or coins in your cache I'm sure the owners would want them moved on.

Should you like to resurrect the cache please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

7.15. 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.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

This cache is carrying one or more logs which suggest some attention by the cache owner is needed.

The guidelines advise that the CO should make occasional visits to check on the cache as well as promptly address any logs that indicate that the cache requires some attention. If you can not attend to the issue promptly, then you need to Disable the cache - I have disabled it this time.

Please respond to this situation (or indicated your intentions including a date) within **28 Days**, otherwise it will be necessary to withdraw the cache from the Active listing. The [Geocache Maintenance guideline](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

**And don't forget,** once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; [Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [Temporarily Disable and Enable ](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

No luck looking for this one today

After a lengthy search we came up empty handed...time it was checked by CO...thanks

Time for this one to be checked please...

No service in this area, GPS took geonan and kids out on a kilometre goose chase:( DNF unfortunately

Will need too return with eyes wide open

I was really wanting to find this one as its been a long time since someone has but after looking around for awhile I came up empty handed.

Looked for a very long time without any luck.

Found on our day of geocaching the outskirts of Mount Gambier.

We are staying at Beachport for a 4 night camping trip with Earthlight & muggle friends, no electricity as we are camping in the national park, it has been a fantastic time spending time down this way finding caches along the way,another quick and easy find for us today : ) hey i can see Victoria from here lol.TFTC

Found with 3LG before heading across the border.

Quick find today while heading down to Nelson.
Good to get this one crossed off the list.

Another trek into the bush, cache and contents in good condition, thanks for the hide

Another great weekend with my geofamily, plenty of miles and smiles with a few geocaches found along the way.

Thanks for the cache Uddrchaos.

A nice spot and a nice quick find. TFTC

Along trek from the road, through the scrub but at last it was found

Found It

Another sunny day and another drive, enjoying discovering the area
TFTC

Found this one during summer 2014 but only just getting round to logging it now. Tricky to find but we did it!

Great walk in the forest. Tftc

Pete

A 3 day caching expedition with Freddo, Astro, WhiteDogGang an Four Fun.

Apologies for the generic log but we did a few trails and some of the Mountopoly series. We also did most of the BLE series.

The mozzies were full on at times and it rained most of the first day.

TFTC

Found on The Joy of SECS weekend along with Astro, Freddo, four-fun & Team Waldron.
Great spot, cool cache.
TFTC UdderChaos

Lovely little devil

Cache found on the Joy of SECS tour with four-fun, Freddo, thewhitedoggang and Team Waldron. There were a stack of boxes to find so we pushed on. We even had a quick round of Mountopoly and a couple of Powertrails to add to the fun. The weather was cool and sometimes icy so wet boots were the order of the day.


Thanks to UdderChaos and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Devil of a cache.
This cache was found on the Joy of SECS Tour 2013. Thanks for the cache. Our group had a lot of fun this weekend. We were in a rush today and there was more caches to find. Woot.
-------------------------------------------------------------
This cache was found using a Garmin Montana 650t. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

Found when on 'The Joy of SECS' tour/assault along with Freddo, Astro, Team Waldron & White Dog Gang. Much fun was had, very wet boots were experienced and many caches were found including this one!
And yes, it is a little devil to spot.
Cheers & TFTC [^]

#320 caches found Beautiful forests out this way. So peaceful & relaxing. Looking in one spot with not much luck, we all turned around & walked back out then Geomum says "aww, so cute", kids say "where", I say "the cache". We loved this series of these creatures. So glad we headed out further to do all these. And what a nice sunny day to do these as well. A great day had by all. We thought these were our favourite. TFTC

A nice hide and cammoed cache!! Been to this area a few times now and never realised that you cant drive in!! Well I did but I promise Mr Ranger I wont the next time!!:)
Cheers for the cache!

We rather enjoyed this container, although one of its limbs had fallen off. As previous logs had stated the ranger had left a note with some regulations, one of which is no cars allowed (oops). Future cachers may want to stick to this in order to keep the peace with the government. Thanks for the cache.

TFTC. Found whilst on a "whilst the muggles sleep" hunt.
Was suprised at some of the regulation reminders from the ranger

Out with Blinky and mum clearing up a few of the near to home caches. The previous finder to us was the ranger who wrote some reminders about using the area and fire bans etc.
Great container, but it does need some TLC
Thanks

I parked the geomobile nearby and wandered quietly in toward where the Basan was supposedly hiding
Listening carefully for the "basabasa" which would give away it's location
I was careful not to look away from the GPS when I heard it
That way it was still there when I found it [:o)]

The poor old thing is looking a bit worse for wear.
One of it's legs has fallen off
I put it back as best I could and so the Basan stands on it's own two (deformed) feet again
I wouldn't want to see this endangered species go the way of the dodo

TFTC. SL. Found during my attendance at the BIG Little Event at Nelson Vic. Sorry for brevity. Sent from my Garmin GPS phone.
ruralslicker 238

Found during the Big Little Event in Nelson. Caching with Whites on Windsor, lolfrog, and Team Pedal Pushers.

So pleased to find this one after fighting our way across the forest, I think we may have come from the wrong direction. Good one!

TFTC.

Found this neat cache while in the area for the BLE, after bashing our way through the bush we found ourselves at GZ and right in front of this cool Creature, nice one indeed UdderChaos.
TNLNSL.

Last day in Nelson after Happy Pants headed home this morning... Decided to grab some caches whilst attending the Big Little Event... Found with 3InOne as we meandered through these pine plantations...

Made a nice straight forward find... Clever container too...

Took: Nothing Left: Nothing Signed Log

Thanks UdderChaos for the cache & bringing me here...

#3545 I think we approached this from totally the wrong direction [:o)]. We parked by the roadside and headed into the scrub passing over 2 tracks which looked like a MUCH better option than the route we were taking on foot....nevertheless we were committed! We are notorious bushbashers (always take the hard way in & find the path on the way out ) so being made of sturdier stuff we scoffed at the bush and the barricades it tried to present, we laughed at the scatches (but not so much in the shower that night!) and the dry bush stuff that was falling off us the rest of the day...... All of a sudden something mythical was staring at us - the poor thing just balancing. Nice container & aside from a detachment issue the cache was in good condition. Replaced him teetering for the next finder. Thanks UdderChaos for the fun [^]

Locus Cache, DennisC52, and myself joined up with FireSafe and HoneySucker to continue caching. This time on our way to Beaker's 'Border Bottom' cache and Margaret Rose Caves area....

Nice cammo, love ya work
TNLNSL
Thanks

Found on our trip to the Little Big Event with Firesafe Hurtle and locus loved the cameo thought it was brilliantly done

Sunday at BLE and Huurtle, Dennisc52 and I set off to replace a cache which had been lost in the recent bushfires

There were a few caches on the way and, luckily for me, the boys were happy to head for Dartmoor where a couple of months ago in 40 odd degree heat while riding my motorbike back from Halls Gap I had stopped briefly, seen the nearby caches and just been too darn hot and tired to get any...... so today was the day [^]

Later on, we met up with Honeysucker and firesafe and continued caching until well after dark: 4WDing on dirt roads, beaches and through the forests [^]

A HUGE day of attempting 47 caches: 45 successful locus cache events [^] and only 2 DNFs

I am really loving the camo on these caches and am eagerly awaiting finding others now, to see what else you surprise us with

Our apologies if we left the Basan legless and thanks to If for replacing it [^]

SL. TFTC UdderChaos

Found with SnapHappy as a part of the Big Little Event. Took the scenic route after finding a fallen tree. Beautiful spot. TFTC

Found while at the Big Little Event
Left dragonfly and leaf, butterfly and motorbike
Tftc

Found at 3:38 PM GAFF1 in the company of Phetlern, Squalid and ruralslicker. Ha! Nice camo which stood out - wouldn't say heavily camouflaged, but effective.
Interesting that a few cultures had fire breathing dragons - there must have been something in it [?]
Thanks UdderChaos,

Big little event trip for us making up some numbers. All these caches are taking us to great places we will come back to again one day.

Awesome, the thought that goes into this series. Once again what a better way to spend a Sunday. Being out in the nature enjoying the scenery. TFTC

Well our big adventure is up and running with lolfrog, pedal pushers jeffeddy on wards we go

Big little event trip for us making up some numbers. All these caches are taking us to great places we will come back to again one day.

Spent the afternoon getting a few caches with other teams from the BLE.

What a clever cache. TFTC.

At the BLE Event in Nelson. Caching with Whites on Windsor, lolfrog, and jeffeddy. Great cache, TFTC.

Hoping to collect some more smilies; on a Sunday run from the Big Little Event with Pprass, Rural Slicker and Squalid. Another interesting episode in mythology.

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt UdderChaos.

Found with locus cache, Huurtle, Firesafe and Honeysucker while attending the BLE at Nelson. TFTC.

Well this was epic, us weaving. Through the forest not quite having a clear signal, eventually we found the most suppring cache, just loved it, fav orate point from us, just love it.TFTC

TFTC

We were lucky that there was a trail to this one, making it a swift find. We liked the "camouflage". TFTC.

What fun driving along the border.
I do love a border cache and this one was even Mythical.

Parked and went hunting. We found a creature sure enough.

Basan needs a bit of repair, still great job on this one. Joined up with J+J.au...Caching the area while attending the "Big Little Event", really enjoying the trip, company and the great locations the caching is showing us. We are having lots of laughs and collecting quite a lot of caches this week. SL..TFTC

Suscoe plus two's 6th find of an afternoon run.
This is a splendid cache.
We were impressed with the track to GZ.
Even more impressed with the cache.
Brown snake on the track was very docile this afternoon.
Thanks to UdderChaos for a terrific caching experience.
A favourite for us.
Picked up TB

Cool little creature:) the box smelt fresh still.

Found this one...

Is now repaired.....

Thanks for another good hunt

Have moved TB on for further travels

Cute little critter! Can the next finder please take a tube of liquid nails????
Left "Isla's Unicorno".... Isla's first travel bug!! And took a pin-ball game.
TFTC

Loved it!! Definately a mythical creature we were happy to find. Awesome camo!! TFTC.

On the way to Portland for a swim meet, and what a great excuse to do some caches along the way.. Coming up to this one we spotted a huge and hungry wedge-tailed eagle snacking on the side of the road. He took off as we pulled up for a closer look, soaring towards the scrub (maybe a hint??) Another great Mythical Creature, and a lovely day for a walk as the sun kept trying to poke it's head out. TFTC

Such a beautiful area, one of those we just would not of known about if not for this awesome hobby, thank you for showing us. As last log mentioned, one of the features have become unstuck and need a little TLC, nothing in car to help fix this sadly, still looks very cool though. Took: TB, Left: Rubiks cube. TFTC.

Nice drive on a cold wet day TFTC
Caches features have become unstuck and only just sitting there

Catching up on on a few hundred missed logs
Found with bucketeer
Thanks for the hunt

Just logging a little goat TB drop that I'd misplaced

We all got a laugh when we found this little fella, trying so hard to be as fierce, but just not able to pull it off.
Swapped TBs
Thanks again

Yay! My very first FTF. Ah what a character! Thanks Udderchaos! A nice afternoon out with Goshaz.

Found out with Hiluxury who was keen to get her first "first to find" Luckily she found it before me and managed to sign the clear log book.

You were right about it being heavily camouflaged. It was very difficult to see.

TFTC. Awesome funny little creature sitting out there on his lonesome lol took homer left tb.
