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.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

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 page and post a 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.

We've been holidaying down south this weekend with the intention of completing the Forty Winks series. Mr Tardis was out with Mr Scoobster and Mr froghoppin today to find the caches today.

It was nice to do this series where most of the containers were smalls and not micros making them quicker and easier to find. Most cachers were in great condition and we had no DNFs.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache and series equipe de cinq

We headed down to South Australia for a few days of caching, and the Forty Winks series was next up on our list. We started off nice and early, and managed to get them all fairly easily, with good hints and obvious hides, we managed to get the series knocked off quickly Smile We enjoyed this series, as we got to walk to a few to break it up a bit, and it never took long to find each cache Smile We managed to finish off the series without any dnf's too Big Grin

Having finished around Murray Bridge and Victor Harbour, time to head back north then east. The Forty Winks series caught our eye when planning the trip, and we thoroughly enjoyed driving these quiet vineyard lined roads.

Thanks equipe de cinq for the cache.

[center]8321. [green] Apologies for the generic logs but with so many in a similar location its the price you pay.

We were planning to do the whole lot of course however roadworks and dead ends put an end to that as we were heading to Monash for the night and didn't have the time to spare.

Not sure what the containers were however they were a mix of body and lid colours and at least the stop coloured ones were easy to spot whilst driving along.

Enjoyed the series and the tootle around this area.

Thanks for the cache [blue]equipe de cinq[/blue] and the series[/green][/center]

Touring Australia having left Perth in late February we are leisurely touring South Australia.

Currently camped with our Caravan at Kuitpo.

The weather looked okay when we headed out but we did not actually check the forecast. Surprised Perhaps we should have as by 3.30pm it was raining cats and dogs. Twisted

Mr Parrot is on holiday and thought he would go out caching for a day down south.
Took ages to get down their but the Parrots had a great day when we started caching. We took the geomut along and she loved the walks at some of the caches. Being a very old dog she was content to sleep between walks.
Tried out a new series, did some caches that have been out for a while. Had fish and chips overlooking the sea and a great walk around the Aldinga conservation park before hitting up the 40 power trail.
They were of interest to the reviewer when he rolled up to number 1.
It was dark by the time we had finished and headed back up north.

 
28-Apr-14
Camped at Murray Bridge showgrounds, on our 2nd trip around Australia.
Today, we decided to do the 3 trails south of Adelaide, and we picked up a few others while there.
Most of these caches were easy finds, as they were visible from the road.
Numbers 10, 11 & 12, were a little more difficult to get, as the road has been blocked off at both ends.
We enjoyed the drive around the country side, on a great warm day.
Many thanks for the hunt, equipe de cinq.

Reperio with Big Matt and Shell and Farmer Frentzen.

After meeting up with FF and Big Matt during the Oz Mega Event this weekend, we packed up this morning and headed out to do a few local caches before making our way towards Adelaide. We were looking at doing a couple of series before arriving at our destination tonight...so we took a little detour out to do this series. With most of the caches being park and grabs...we managed to complete the series in 1hr 20 mins. I'm not sure how many of these items would feature on my bucket list...but it certainly gave some food for thought.

Gratias equipe de cinq.

Our 8377th overall find.

Found with FarmerFrentzen and Marcus Vitruvius on our trip to the OZ Mega 2014. This was a very impromptu trip with my manager only approving my leave a week or two out. We managed to snag some cheap flights and met up with MV in SA to have a roaring 3 day tour.

Our main plan was to pick up the Forty Winks series but we also got a few bonus caches and even had a few short walks. 1 hour and 20 minutes to do the lot!

Thanks equipe de cinq for the cache.
 
21-Apr-14
Found during another visit to South Australia for the 2014 OzMega with Big Matt and Shell and Marcus Vitruvius.

A last minute decision to attend the Mega saw Big Matt and I book flights a week out from the event to arrive on Sunday. We caught up with Marcus Vitruvius at the event and decided to combine our search efforts for the trip.

Thanks equipe de cinq for the cache.

Found a few weeks ago but have been very busy since then so haven't logged until now. In my day trip out to Aldinga I managed to do the 40 winks series And a few local caches too. I spent an hour or so parked on the side of the road next to Aldinga airstrip whilst a number of light aircraft were practising taking off and landing. As they came in to land they passed by only 20 metres away at the most, It could keep you entertained for hours! Sorry for the generic log but I do have quite a few caches to log!
Thanks to equipe de cinq for the 40 winks series and other cachers if I found your cache!

[:(!] We came over from Perth to visit our geoson (RevolutioSolutio) and his family for a couple of weeks over the festive season, today my geoson and family went and visit some friends of there's at Echunga, we tagged along and then we went and did the "Forty Winks Series" and this was one of them and a few extras as well, parked the geoGrand Vitara as close as possible to GZ and we walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes.

We recently arrived back in SA after seven months touring and caching in WA. We have been very busy catching up with family and friends and until today haven't had much time for cachingSad
Finally we had four hours to spare so decided to break our caching drought.

A quick search of caches in the southern area bought up this good looking power trail so we decided to give it a go.

We were surprised at how busy the country roads were around the trail. Four caches we had to return to at the end because of muggles riding their mowers, pruning vines or just generally tootling around the area on this bright sparkly Spring day Big Grin

We apologise for the generic log but we have added a few words at the end of some logs in the series if it was needed.

Very many thanks 'equipe de cinq' for placing and maintaining this trail in one of our favourite parts of SA. [^][^][^]
