I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, Croker Crew, requesting additional time.
An ample opportunity has been provided for the Cache Owner to respond, but since this opportunity has been ignored, I can only conclude that the cache has been abandoned.
Caches archived under these circumstances are unable to be Unarchived, and this location is now available for the placement of a new cache, by somebody else.

###Cache Owner Action Needed###
This cache has been brought to my attention as likely to be missing.
After a string of successful Finds, it has now had a string of DNFs. I agree that this certainly suggests that something has happened at the cache location which requires investigation by the CO, Croker Crew.
The cache will be disabled and I'll check back in 30 days to see if either
- the CO has checked or rectified the apparent problem
- the CO has communicated in a Note log here, when action will be taken
**If the CO has not taken either of these actions, then we can only assume that the cache has been abandoned and, regrettably, it will be archived.**
The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is out there to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.
Thank you

Was fun, my friend started a long time ago and has got me into it, she helped me find this one which was my first find.
Thought I had to jump down into the bush for a second haha. Thanks for this, simple and fun
Found DNF first time then came back and found it the lid is broken but still fits back on it T4TC
Found this one while up in Darwin visiting family, catching up on some logs.
Thanks for a geocaching trip around Darwin.
Nice to put a smiley here.

Think we have now found most of these in this series. Nice easy find thanks to a good hint. TFTC
On the final day of the Darwin long weekend we visited Berry Springs and the jumping crocs in the Adelaide River.
Had a giggle while looking at the concrete footing. Quick find after reading the hint.

Now visiting Darwin after the Red Centre Experience.
Mr Felix headed out this morning to tackle a few nearby caches.
Between the green ants and the humidity it was a tough morning. But smiles were had once he found your cache.

Found by Mary & David at 0900. A nice hide, and such an interesting story of developments, so a FP. Crime doesn't pay. Our thanks to Croker Crew.
Another left, right, left, straight, circle and whatever through Palmerston and we are at GZ. Parking lots were hard to find. So just used a part of the green strip. On the bridge not many options for a hide. So we had it within seconds. It took us longer to place everything back into the container.

Nice easy find for our second Australia cache. Found it at night using phone light. Left all the swaps as had nothing to leave. The cache was pretty stuffed so take a pencil type thingy to ease stuff out to get to the log. TFTC.
Love finding cache but hate it when container is small and so full of trinkets that you cant even get the log out
Another in this great series and another nice cache. Left a shell but took nothing. Thank you for adding to our enjoyment of caching.
Once I had located the right side, the cache was soon in hand. Great story behind the cache . TFTC
