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.

No finds since the start of the year and no maintenance, maybe time to archive?
Before heading to Sydney we took the opportunity to hike this trail which led us thru the forest and part of Shoal Bay.
It was a pleasant walk with a few ups and downs, didn't meet much folks out there.
Luckily we found all caches except those already logged as DNF by other cachers and the bonus whose coordinates can't be determined as some numbers / caches are missing.
No luck with this one.

Was walking past and would be silly not to check. No good. Seems to be a popular cache to be muggled.
Back in the area to find the rest of this series that I didn't have time for last year!
Too many Muggles here too and after seeing previous logs I didn't spend too much time looking for this one. Another time maybe.

No luck finding this one. Despite recent mowing the part where I recon it is is too overgrown
There were two muggles sitting on the bench nearby, so I didn't search for this one.
Based on the hint I thought I knew what I would be looking for and photos in previous logs confirmed I was on the right track, but still couldn't spot it.
The cache is gone. I've found all the others except for the few that are missing. It's disappointing after almost completing the series and finding the mystery cache. This needs to be checked and replaced/removed and even a new modified version of the last cache co-ordinate puzzle so people can continue to enjoy the series.
High muggle area and a nano in the same run will call it quits. Thanks subi-two for the caches and the walk. Enjoyed it all.
*Live logging*
Found with sesblocker.
We put dome paper in here to use as a log.
Great coords made for a quick find.

Coords are out but it's protected. Placed it back where we found it. Widen your search. Thanks for a great day of caching.
TFTC subi-two. Another easy find. Fought off the ants that decided to nest in the cache container to get this one. On to the next...Jimmytherat with Noelle04.
Hmm, not a green-top but still has a number. That is indeed sneaky. I signed the log which was loose in the camo. Thanks subi-two.
We're visiting from Florida, USA. That was great fun. Thanks for placing the cache.
Too popular at lunch time. As soon as one van would pull away, another would pull up. I had a quick scan but couldn't spot anything out of the ordinary so sadly had to miss this one out.
Found a small rock, not much room to add any items.. but love the sneaky rock...
Today we walked the Nelson Bay to Shoal Bay power trail. 09:00 till 13:30, with breaks on beaches and parks. Great job to both the CO and my kids 
TFTC (very boring, but so is logging 30+ caches)

Luckily the table was free. This is our last in the series: time for some calculations
This one had us looking for a little while until eventually it emerged from the surrounding area.

1:37:00 PM. At least the wind was blowing us along. The better half spotted this on and the log was signed. Thanks subi-two for placing this cache.
Together with Akirey I spent some days in Nelsons Bay. I did a little cache tour and found some nice caches. This one was one of them.

Today is the third day of our little holiday in Nelson Bay and we decided to continue our walk along the Nelson Bay to Shoal Harbour Power Trail. We again headed to the beach front but this time, we headed south, continuing up and over the headland. We had a very pleasant walk along the track and thought it was probably more pleasant than our walk a few days ago. There was plenty of bird life about and some of the views were spectacular. As was the case for the remainder of the series, all caches were found easily.
Thank you subi-two for having placed the cache series and maintaining it for everyone to enjoy
