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.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

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.

I have tried to contact the cache owner but did not receive a response. I believe this has gone, perhaps discovered by a muggle.

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 page and post a 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.

I suggest that the owner check this one before anyone else spends more time looking for it.

After a good long look about 3 hours duration I could not find this cache.

Today we headed out to hike right out to the end of Point Nepean and collect a couple of puzzles we were working on along the way. It was a pretty warm day but we had plenty of drinks to keep us going. After our hike we still had time on our way home to pickup some other caches along the way.
This was one of the puzzles I had solved many, many months ago and thought we should at least attempt it.
After making our way to GZ we searching for about 45 minutes but couldn't find anything. Don't want to say much more or I'll give away where the hide is. It was still a really nice way to finish off the day though.
Thanks for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

Very dissapointing!! After some really braincracking together with Baja15 and J+J.AU we finally managed to get some coords. I reckon BAja15 earns the credit of solving. Once at GZ in this unknown environment we were stumped. Can't tell wether it was a high or low tide? Went in and "walked" over with the water coming to my chin at parts. With quit a bit of current and wind it wasn't that easy. Once at the "island" there were not to many options. The most likely I checked contained a few rock wich could have hold a cache, but that would be gone with the elements?

Having finally completed the crossword with a little help from hazey we finally got time out from home construction to check it out. Donned with the wet suit the junior member of the team took the plunge at late low tide whilst I took guard on the beach. Getting there was no problem and seeing it was very very overcaste I was worried about the accuracey of the co ords. Giving it a good 1/2 search it was abanded when the deadly blue ringged specium was bought up, so do be aware that gloves are a good option.
We come back again on a better day.
Loved this cache so far
thanks hazey1 for the excellent cache

Now the FTF'ers have had a prowl at this and I've "attended" the site I think four times now, I think its only fair I log it. Fun hide but certainly more of a summertime cache!

Found @1610 #2366
The weather was ideal today for another run along the peninsula starting in Tyabb then heading westward to Mornington for completing some solved puzzle caches. Was on the hunt with my caching wingman Ahomburg. Today's tally was 16 finds including a FTF & further progress made with project 81 and some other cache series in the region. A great result overall and looking forward to returning to region soon to find some more.

This took a team effort to solve but did require a little nudge from the CO on one last bit to finally have the coordinates known. I don't often do crossword puzzles but did enjoy the hunt for the answers and learnt a few things along the way too. So having it solved it was now time to pick it up and today's run was focus on this as the main target and it turn out to be the final find too. Just an awesome cache and the sort that I love to do, a favorite. [^] TFTC hazey1.

Well, it was the weekend again and despite the fact that I was on annual leave from work, Sunday was set aside to go out caching with my partner in crime SedgwickDave. It turned out to again be a wonderful summer's day, mid 20's, so I picked up Dave at 7.30 we headed towards mornington, picking up a few caches on the way.

Between the two of us and a hint from the CO, we managed to solve this one over the past week. A great puzzle and without saying too much about the cache location, an awesome adventure and "Walk" to GZ. A definite favorite for this one.

Thanks to hazey1 for the cache. TNLN.

Well, we couldn't have asked the weather gods for anything better today. Pea bear & I set out this morning full of anticipation & we weren't disappointed. Amazing container which still took a while to find but well worth the search. Have thoroughly enjoyed this one, from the puzzle to the cache. Big fav from me.

Set out on a mission with Natasha today with the sole purpose of finding this cache. The weather fantastic! Luckily not too many muggles at this time of day, searched for a good while but soon had the cache in hand. I feel honoured to tick this one off and definitey deserves a favourite TFTC

Went out to check on this one today with Saulman. Cache was located 2 metres from the original placement position. I have put it back at GZ on the seaward side of noticeable feature:-) Remember to use stealth and put back what you move.

Thanks Hazey1 & Saulman for checking on this one. Can't believe we missed it if it was only 2m out. We will give it another go very soon.

I worked on this puzzle for about a week when it was first published and finally got the GZ co-ords. Have been waiting for the weather to warm up a bit before our attempt. Pea bear and I headed out to GZ this afternoon but after searching lots of nooks and crannies for about 45mins had to admit defeat. TFTC anyway we really enjoyed our time there.
