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.

From http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

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.

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.

Detoured hereafter a few local caches and no luck today either. Maybe time for Gruff to go?

DNF

Found just laying on ground. Very poor condition and no lid or log. Replaced in close proximity to where found

Ok so after reading activity snd description more closely, what i found was a munzee. Went back to try and find cache but no luck

This one has beaten us today but we will return with geokids

Found it , the cache needs some tlc tftc

This cache is not here. DNF. And I even layed in the mud on my belly. TFTH! NZJESTER

Looked for sometime but dnf

Despite getting some good hints from the CO, I was not able to find this cache. My suspicion is that it's been muggled, due to so much muggle traffic in the area, and loads of foot and paw-prints in the vicinity of GZ. Have spoken to the CO about this. Will be back when it is confirmed that the cache is still in action.

Unfortunately this was to be our DNF for the day. We had read the Note from the CO, and the hint, so we had an idea of what we should be looking for. Both our machines gave us GZ a way along the bridge, so we extended our search area to there, including having to lie down on the said bridge, and getting up every time muggles approached, so we would not be asked about our state of health.
So, no luck today, but we thoroughly enjoyed the area and hope to be back.

Our disappointment here with our only DNF for the day, but a lovely day for the bike ride.

As m4yb said we were all over the boardwalk and didn't spot any munzies or mint tins either, so will watch this one to see if it comes to light!

PLEASE read description cachers!
Cache container IS NOT A MINT TIN! and it cannot rust (hint hint).
The tin is a MUNZEE, a different game and a different container.

Condition as per other comments.....

Found the same item as found by others. Old and heavily rusted mint tin with very waterlogged log inside.
Despite retrieving the log we were unable to sign it due to the degraded condition.
Cache found doesn't match the description here but it was certainly a cache.

We had a good search around the area and discovered a container + soaking log that didn't fit the description. Will try again on a less wet day! A&G

Dnf

this cache has not bee found since 4 October 2014... some 2 years ago. When is this going to be replaced or archived?

Found however the container is rusted and log inside is wet, a beautiful location

I spent ages getting muddy hot and bothered, miss c has one look and puts her hand straight on it

Had an attack on my 'Finds by Placed Month' grid or 'Jasmer Challenge' today. Meant I had to venture NOR to try and track down the 9 on my hit list. Found 7 of them plus a few others about the place.

The nearby 'Perrys Mailbox' was on the list and stopped in to grab this one while in the area. I thought I might be in for a lengthy search here but found the "Berocca" tube after a short search.

amryall I found your cache at 11:40am, this was the 10th of 17 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 2676. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

SLTFTC

Took me ages! Tftc

All good, unexpectedly first spot I looked! TFTC!

Thanks!! Good one! Damp inside baggy but still ok.

Found the mint tin, but couldn't find the berocca tube. Way too many people and dogs in that spot which hindered the search.

Yippee!! A bit yucky with mud but all good. Logged in!

Nope

Please take note, cache is not rust-able.
Don't be confused with the 'Munzee' at same location in a mint tin.
Mint tin IS NOT the cache.

Found it. Very rusted and the log is damp. Might need a bit of TLC.

Got it TFTC

TyFC love that bridge walk, keep geodogs out of water paints them black

Found after about 15 minutes of looking. Was very rusted.

Log is full. Had to write on the back

On a pleasant bike ride around the lakes, this took a minute to find as Mrs. O. had already looked there without seeing...oops...Mr. O. had a proper look and found the tube with some nice home-made camo. Seems like some previous finders are finding a rusty mint tin. TFTC!

Easy find but cache needs some TLC. TFTC.

Found IT . Think I did.

Nice hide under the "rickety rackety" bridge.
Thought we saw bubbles in the swamp....... lol
TFTC amyrall, we really enjoyed most of your hides today.

Getting laughed at by kookaburras as I made this find. Fairly quick search. The tin is fairly rusted but log still dry

Out on a cache run with mgm197 and the geo kids

Found on the northern end as per description

Tftc amryall

Old and rusted out.

We found two one on either side of bridge.

Geodog delighted to crash around in the swamp while I looked for this one. He is filthy now. TFTC and the need to wash the geodog.

A good day caching in and around Yellagonga Park with the geo-girlfriend on the geo-bikes. 24 finds and only one DNF.
Found this one after a short search, nice camo. TFTH

Nice camouflage, thank you for the cache!

Out for a day of caching & bike riding with my family (jasenjanine), we found this cache along the way

Thanks amryall [^]

Headed NOR today with the kids hoping to claim our "Collector" Souvenir and Perry's Paddock was our first stop to do so... After completing the Wherigo we continued around the lake and found this cache along the way DangerMouse09's bike had a flat, so we looked over it whilst outwaiting the stream of muggles to move along... Once the coast was clear, there was no problems locating the cache! Thanks amryall

TFTC! Picked up this cache on a geo run with Jacobs Crew. We started off the day chasing some FTF's that had dropped earlier in the morning before heading NOR to cleanup a number of hides. Was a great day out with good company, made about 50 finds for the day which was great. Thanks

Spend the day with Branzy12, picking up some caches in the area , question the hiding spot it was found quickly...TFTC

My father and I were searching for this one for a while with no luck. We were about to give up, until I looked in one last spot, the place that it was hidden. We were so relieved when we saw the cache and we were jumping for joy. This was one of the first caches that I was able to say "found it." So exciting, I've got to say this cache has been one of my all time favourites. TFTC.

First cache outing with my youngest daughter. She was on a roll. I was about to give up but she persevered and found this one and was pretty pleased with herself. Well hidden.

Found with Purple Pirate I walked my bike over the bridge

We were out to collect a few smilies this morning and headed off the find the trolls under the bridge. While signing the log the better half (???) continued to peruse the previous logs and then muttered the words "I don't think that was the cache". Upon further investigation we believe that we signed the Munzee Mint Tin and not the GeoCache Berocca Tube. DOH! We continued to look high and low, left and right, north and south, up and down with no luck. Thank you anyway amryall for bringing us to this beautiful, peaceful spot. We look forward to returning and succeeding!

First find for today thanks for the hint. Its been a while enjoyed the park

After a small search cache was in our hands no trolls seen today

Same story as "Nano on a bridge" - it was Muggle central. So difficult to nonchalantly search.

We'll be back another day.

Took the geokids out for a morning of caching. Trying to finish off Woodvale. Nice spot for a cache. Tftc.

TFTC

Found it while we had a few extra mins before an engagement party! Forgot a pen so we couldn't sign it...

Out riding around from Edgewater with the kids - and took us a little bit of searching for this one! But in the end, we spotted it - great spot and nice hide. First entry on the new log!

New waterproof log installed and fixed so it can't escape during flooding!

Found it.
A nice piece of camo on this cache.
Found very quickly with help of hint.
TFTC

Found with chooke and geo dog on our bikes, this cache was about 7m north. Tftc

Cheers

Found on a ride with sgtant. TFTC

Spent the day caching around Joondalup, and close suburbs.
Visited many parks, and bush land reserves.
Cache found on the ground, log was unusable.
Replace log, put back where we thought it should be.
Thanks for the cache, amryall.

Tftc log soaked

Log soaking wet

[:(!] After going to church in the morning and we had nothing planned for the afternoon so why not do a bit of caching to fill in the hours, parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes.

SL TFTC/TFTH/TFBUH Amryall.

Found this after a short search and a peek at the hint. Our GPS would have us about seven metres away and with wet feet. Nice bit of camo here. TFTC amryall

Good spot ... Great camouflage .

Bigfellaindustrygear

Log still present but a little damp . will return when better equipped to replace lig with dry one. Make sure lid is secure as water level very high at GZ.

The cache is wet inside and there is no log anymore

Geosquids loved this area. Spent ages putting paperbark "boats" in flowing water. Geodaughter ended up a little bit muddy after getting bit too excited. Cool cache. Tftc.

Urch was already up in Perth, so I jumped on a train and we met up at Stirling Station. From there we headed northwards. This one took a little longer to find than the others around here. Ended up finding the clever camo about 8m from where the gps's were indicating. Also found the nearby munzee. Thanks amryall

We trip trapped across the bridge and then some time was spent on our knees, on the wet and dirty boards, much to the distress of the jeans. A mint tin was first found, but it contained only a soggy munzee. Eventually, after widening our search from our combined GZs we found the well camouflaged container.
Thanks for the hunt and walk through this interesting area amryall.
PS - no sign of any trolls.

Last cache on our walk around the paths. The better half was on the right side to make a quick find of this cache.

Thanks amryall for the cache.

Second time lucky... Found with a lot of looking again.

Bad prang on the road ahead ahead on the way home from work.
used my time so detoured for a look for Gruff.

Had a few sus looks from a group of lady runners not game to approach a young man lurking under the bridge..

TFTC

GSAGC #367. Very sneaky No wonder I didn't find this cache the 1st time I looked. Perhaps the hint should be amended to a camo Berocca tube However, did enjoy returning to this very enchanting location. TFTH.

Signed the log because of a mix up in March when I mistook a nearby munzee hide for this cache.

Find #17 of 32 after a day of geocaching with Coh3n. Fairly quick find in the sun. TFTC

Easy find with steve1269 tftc

No sign of mint tin with munzee, but we'll have the cache thanks!!! Found after waiting out a few muggles. TFTC

No luck here today...Not a good day for clean jeans either..

Fouind the Mint gin with the Munzee on board..Cleaned and placed a tiny bit higher from the water.
Checked 2m away (from prev logs) but still no Cache tube.

BOO HOO...!!

Mrs AusTrackers walks here regularly but today we were on a "close to home" caching run so stopped to find it. Didn't take long. Thanks for the hunt amryall.

Nice camo on this cache. It was in the obvious spot so it was a quick find. I didn't know this swamp was here. TFTC amryall

Third and final find of a brief afternoon cache run ... an amryall trifecta!

Good to clear a few of the near to home caches. TFTC.

Quite a popular boardwalk! Searched all the likely places to no avail. I much prefer larger caches in such bushland settings. At least the location was stunning, thanks for bringing me to this magical place I'll try again some other time.

Geo-hubby enjoyed the walk to gz with Mr iluvtrekking. Took a little while but they soon uncovered the well concealed container.

The boys enjoyed the stroll to the cache. TFTH

Rode north before work to log a couple of caches. To help solve the copen "needs maintenance" log, there is a munzee hidden in a mint tin about 2m from your cache and the munzee was mistaken for a cache. I assume this to be true since it contained the gum leaf mentioned in the log. I located your berocca tube and signed the log. Thanks for the cache amryall.

Beaut spot, I found this one about 2 mins after and 2m away from a munzee container with a gum leaf in it!! TFTH

Checked and log still inside! It was wound tight inside container.
also fixed camo a bit better....hopefully!

Log is missing

Found it OK, but there was no log inside. Had no paper with me and my improvisation on a gumleaf will not last long!
Beautiful area for a cache...thanks amryall

A quick find as it was sticking out like a sore thumb. We hid it a bit better when we replaced it. SL TFTC

Beautiful Beenyup Swamp area - enjoyed walk along to the GZ. The hint help me to found the cache and signed the log. Thanks amryall.

Nice quick was had here. One of many in this area. TFTC.

Out with the pooch in one of our fav
Dog waking spots... Collecting a few of those Munzee thingys as we went.

Quick grab... be warned though, if we have a wet winter your cache may well float away...!!!

Many thanks to you.

Found it together with Moselund United, on the last day of our trip in Aussie..
