I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, OzFlameHunter, 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.

This one needs checking as
- a) The logbook needs replacing
- b) whether it's there seems questionable
- c) at the least, the T/D ratings need to be reviewed in light of the recent cache history.
It seems there is no local maintainer, so if the cache is not restored within 30 days it will be archived.

T-Tech and I have flown to Darwin from Brisbane for a mini-holiday with our son and his wife and their two little ones. We met up with them at Litchfield Park on Friday afternoon where we explored Buley Rockholes and Florence Falls, and then we all headed down to Adelaide River to have dinner at Digger's Bistro, followed by the long drive back to Howard Springs. Yesterday and today the others have a friend to meet up with, so T-Tech and I have two whole days to explore Darwin! Of course geocaches shall be our guide 
I was pretty keen to get this one as I like the title, and we wanted to visit the park anyway. However, despite getting down and dirty for a good 15 minutes, we didn't get the find

IolantheK and I solved a number of puzzle caches before we arrived from Brisbane.
Well this wasn't one of the but it was a great location to look out at Darwin [^]
Unfortunately "Darwin's Theory" is only a theory we searched and search but couldn't find it

Nope from us today. Also too many ants and burrs/seeds sticking to our pants by the hundreds
Found also found a padlock not far from it either that a lived up couple might have placed
Found it, the container does not match the description. Did not attempt to remove the log.
Had a good look. Thanks to previous logs had an idea what I was looking for but nada. Not sure if it’s moved on or I need better kneeling powers.
Found this afternoon with no one else around, have photo on phone if needed log was unextractable. Great view, thanks for the cache.
Great hide
Logbook is disintergraing and need so be replaced
Thanks OzFlameHunter for the cache

Had a look around but couldn’t quite pick it, possibly it fell down below the deck reading back on previous posts
Found with GrimRaider on our trip to Darwin. Great spot to catch the views to Darwin.
Thanks for hiding this cache OzFlameHunter

Found with Kittykatch today. A favourite point from me for the great view across the park to the city.

Weren't kidding about the bugs! Bitey central! Container seems to be too light and needs a magnet or something as it keeps falling out of its location (which I worked out after a lot of pointless searching, from reading previous logs) which often mention finding it out of location. Big thanks to Brewmakers' log from June 2018 to identify where it's meant to be. I suspect the original Eclipse tin had a magnet.
Logbook is beyond repair and barely legible, I used my last replacement log on the previous cache, so it needs to be replaced. On the plus side, I found this really funky old-style love lock that Josh and his partner left (couldn't make out the second name). Despite having been to this platform several times before (with my wife) I hadn't seen this lock. Or knew about the cache, since this was before I started the game - how many other secrets???

Yay. Thanks for the great view. Another fun adventure, many thanks for the hide.
GeoVenture Mega Event at Millicent, still looking forward to it!! A new date has been proposed for October 2021 now.

No longer an eclipse tin but about the same size. Had to get some tips on this one (wasn't quite what I was expecting). T4TC!!!
Quick find after dodging some muggles. Container is a little plastic bubble container. Lid slightly damaged and log needs replacing. Great spot. Thought we'd risk the midges given it was midday. Bad mistake!
Another visit and this time I found it. Thanks to a previous finder describing what I should be hunting for.

Beautiful view of our lovely city. TFTC!!! Recommend covering up or smothering yourself with Bushmans. Bities were out in forces!!!
Looked everywhere possible around/under structure, couldn’t find. Needs maintenance maybe??
Tftc, searched non stop and muggles just kept coming but we were persistent and eventually cache was found. Unfortunately had to go bush.
Whilst avoiding the munching fliers the cache was found, and replaced the same. All good T F T C OzFlameHunter
We're in Darwin after our few days way out West and rather than slim pickings (geocache-wise) there's a feast of finds up for grabs. As it turned out we found a modest amount of finds and just picked at a few here and there rather than the gluttonous frenzy last time I visited in 2012. We were initially staying in the Alatai but that lasted one night before we moved to better digs on Mitchell - wise choice.
It's that time of year at last when we're heading off on a 2 week break to Australia. We're travelling in 2 distinct phases; see our son and his family in Broome for 5 nights then up to Darwin and NT for a 6 night break before heading back to NZ for Winter, brrrr. There were not many Broome caches to be found as we had visited in September 2016, but there were a couple of newbies available and a revisit to some previously enjoyed sights and sites. A great break and good to get some mid-year sun to recharge the batteries. Main focus was Earthcaches and any collateral solved/qualified for Puzzles and Challenges as well as a friendly Event in Darwin on our first night in town. A good trip all round and nice time was had.

Entered on the 20/04/2022 but found this one back on 22/04/2019 with Kyms Adventure and forgot to log! Was perusing the geo map and realised I had already got this one and the logs confirmed it 
Out n' about with Defcon_6 find 2/9 for Easter Monday. Maintenance required, have messaged the owner. TFTC @OzFlameHunter
Found with geomarsh & d_delb. Easy find. Log was soggy. Replaced log and plastic bag. TFTC
Had fallen on ground underneath platform, replaced to where the hint would suggest!
I had a little time to kill this morning before picking up a colleague from the airport and heading South to Katherine. The couple of caches in this area that I had yet to have a crack at, were on the to do list, so I made them first cabs off the rank. [^]
After arriving in the car park, the stroll was pleasant but short and I was soon at GZ. The hide was only ever going to be in one place, it was just a matter of picking the exact spot. I was very lucky to have started at the correct end and put my hand on it almost immediately.
Out with the log, I added my name, reassembled the cache and returned as found. All done, I had a question mark to grab before heading back into town.
Cheers OzFlameHunter.

Had a full day caching around Darwin today. Many puzzles and challenges with a few trads thrown in as well. All in all a great day.
Caching around the Darwin suburbs, slowly moving through areas we have previously not been and also picking up some of the more recently placed caches. Our first venture into Darwin National Park. Great place to explore and really enjoyed the views from this spot. Thanks OzFlameHunter for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.
A quick find while in the area this morning.
Thanks OzFlameHunter for the cache.

Dnf. Looked underneath for 30 minutes and covered in midges everywhere. Need to come back for another go.
The goddam F:;()g midgees 5.20 in the afternoon, will come back nother time;)
As there were many DNFs on this I was reluctant to even try. The last finder suggested to go bush so I did. Not one to let this get archived I found a container and log and replaced under the platform.
Now try far LHS when looking to the harbour. You will need to go under the platform from the side. It is resting on the first beam. A small plastic "bubble blowing" container. Look out for muggles of course!
Great views.

had a good look around the area but no luck unfortunately, will try again another time.
Knew where about it should be but had a good search around and could not find it. Will try again another day.
