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.

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

4.23. 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.

its been over a month since my maintance log, and co not responding to any maintance logs. also the co has been inactive caching for all of this year. its time to remove this cache.
 
09-Aug-16
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.

Had a good search today and with numerous DNFs the CO needs to check
 
13-Jul-16
DNF. It is a great spot and loved seeing all ducks, geese, 3 swans and seagulls all close up. Hope the cache is still there.
 
12-Jul-16
Many DNF's and a NM unanswered for over a month. Time to start the exit process on this one.
 
04-Jul-16
after no finds in 6 months and lots of dnfs, this cache needs a co check
 
03-Jul-16
dnf like the rest
 
21-Jun-16
nothing here at all.
 
13-Apr-16
Came here with another geocacher who previously found this cache. It is definitely missing.
 
31-Mar-16
Tried in all the spots shown by Google Maps and intense searching and avoided been seen many kids in nearby playground. I'd hazard a guess this one's been muggled, judging by all the DNF's in a row. May be worth a check by the CO Smile
 
13-Mar-16
Looked for ages for this one but to no avail. Can we get a check to see if it is still there?
 
14-Feb-16
Second time back here now and still can't find it - reread all the finds but still no idea - a clue please anyone????
 
13-Feb-16
Bugger, looked for ages, couldn't find it!
 
12-Feb-16
Nope will have to come back.
Tried with the Gee's as well! Mmm no banana. : (
 
19-Jan-16
Sneaky hide! Looked for this before to no avail! After a bit of experience came back and had CIH within a minute! I swear I looked there last time!
 
01-Jan-16
My previous visit to find this cache ended in a DNF however today with a bit more experience I found it quickly. A lovely little park...TFTC Woolly.
 
01-Jan-16
Quickly located with hevwalker12 and andy Colombia! Thanks for the hide!!

I have never been able to 'quack' this tricky little cache before [:o]
Usually too many muggles !!
Not just on the playground, but on the court !! [:o]

This morning was a different scene !!
Sure the ducks were there.
Somehow, Somewhere, watching me [:o]

But the usual crowd of non-waterproof muggles were not here Big Grin
So I could get down to the business of finding this cache Razz
And there it was Big Grin
Well out of reach of me webbed fingers !!??
A stick did the trick.
However an alternative retrieval method was discovered once I had the cache in me hands Red Face

TFTC .... QUACK !! Big Grin
 
01-Dec-15
I'm sure I looked there last time.

Last find for the day by the Rat and another sneaky one at that. Stopped to admire the ducks but there more seagulls than ducks or swans. Nice park and it looks great for the kiddies. TFTC

16-Sep-15
Thanks!
 
16-Sep-15

Looked at it countless times but it didn't register with us that it was the cache. Great hidey spot. Perseverance pays off in this situation
 
22-Apr-15
Went to find this one with Hollea.D and when I found it it was a different one to the one she'd found! One on either side of the tennis court. I took a photo and attached it. See if you can find both!
 
21-Apr-15
Found one 30m away. Not sure if it was supposed to be this one.
 
20-Apr-15

First no find frustrating

GrimRaider and I visited this lovely park today as the starting point for a cache walk down the Torrens River. So many birds and ducks here today. A nice little hide too - I hadn't seen this type before. We found a little lizard sitting on the cache. We thought it was dead at first until it scuttled off. A lovely spot with a neat little hide - TFTC !
 
14-Nov-14
This is a nice change of pace for this type of hide and I like it indeed! I may well have to purloin it for a cache back in Canberra [:-)]. Great photos of the birds, great wild thing exhibition by the Wood Ducks and a very pleasant area to cache and drink coffee! TFTC and a great spot and a new cache trick; favourite point from me today Wooly!!
Regards, GrimRaider
