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.

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.

Wow exactly were I thought it was the first time but my fingers were too weak. Daniel managed to get it open but we did not sign the log as it was a bit damaged and fear of not being able to do it up again. Photo is a bit of a spoiler for those having trouble Smile

#7098 - 12:05; Day 21 of the Alice Mega Road Trip with Sol de lune, albida33 and fitzy_1965, so signing logs as A.L.F.S. We had now reached Darwin, our most northerly port, after attending the Red Centre Experience event in Alice Springs. Today we planned to do some more caching in and around Darwin before heading out for a run to the Cox Peninsula to Wagait. A much better day today with 59 finds and only half as many DNFs, 5. All caches we located were in good order, including this one. Nice to have the right tools for the job too! TFTC mangomail Smile

Alice trip 2017. Day 19. Today Sol de Lune, Luckyl10n, Fitzy_1965 and I had a second day around Darwin, but we also went out to wagait beach along the Route 34 series, we even went though a fire.


Thanks.

13555. Next find of Day 11 of the Red Centre Experience Roadtrip. In Darwin.

I flew into Alice Springs to meet up with my caching mates Sol de Lune, Albida33 and LuckyL10n (signing mostly as ALFS) to attend the Red Centre Experience and then venture up north to Darwin and then east into Qld before heading south for home - a three week caching trek.

Next stop for the day. Lucky we had the right tools for this one! Quick find at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache, and it was off to the next cache.

TNLN - TFTC !!

Day 3 of our (fitzy_1965, LuckyL10n, albida33 and myself) stay in Darwin. A good day out and about with fewer DNF's than yesterday.

The ones we found were a mixture of micro's and small and a lot were in interesting places. Caching in the NT is different to the southern states, so a day of 40 odd is a good return....especially with a bit of sightseeing thrown in as well.

Thanks for all the caches owners and the fun in grabbing them.
 
16-Apr-17
Found plenty of options at GZ. Following the activity reports tried some of these options but couldn't retrieve a cache using a tool.
 
10-Apr-17
You need a tool at the moment to get this to budge. Great location. Thanks.

Great hide but being a plumber helps

The morning biketour pass me along Bagotroad.
Last year i didn`t found anything, but today it`s need only a moment to spot the hiding-place!

Thank`s for showing this place and the cache!

A very nicely hidden cache - I'm awarding a favourite point. The log was wet and deteriorating - a bit broke off as I was replacing it. thank you mangomail
 
12-Feb-16
OK, I give up. This is my second trip here - looked in all the obvious hidy holes and can't find a cache.
 
22-Jan-16
Yay! Milestone 300. Been trying to do this cache for sometime, but there have always been locals sitting at GZ. Today was our lucky day. Log is very wet
A piece broke off as we retrieved.

Once at GZ there was a bit of head scratching and the Bear was sent back to the Geo Mobile to fetch an extraction device. On return to GZ Cat's hunch proved to be correct at the find was logged.

Nice hide.

My GPS had me all over the place so just checked spots I thought it might be to no avail.
 
24-Jul-14
Stopped by this one yesterday but could only let the GPS show me where GZ might be as some locals had made camp on the remains. I saw an interesting item while there and kept going after checking out the remains in the area.

Returning today they weren't about so I returned to the spot and I can say that the co-ords are spot on. Smile So the retrieval was the next issue but I had what I needed and the cache was soon in hand.

Log signed and all returned as found.

Nice hide. Smile

No luck today.... Not sure if this is still an active cache?
 
24-May-14

All good, checked this one and it's still there hiding away Wink

23-Feb-14
Well worth reminding everyone about this history and location.
Great cache mangomail - nice work!
 
15-Feb-14
I have modified the cache a little - still in the same place but made the cache more secure and replaced the log with fresh paper. The last log was becoming quite fragile.
 
07-Feb-14
hard find someone must have sabotaged it because we couldn't write our name on the log. anyway TFTC
 
07-Feb-14
We found it but has fallen down
 
26-Dec-13
This was found this afternoon in the good company of Landlockedsailors Smile

While he was waiting from a distance, I went to find it. I overlooked the cache the first time I looked in the right spot, but then after a little while, I managed to spot it anyway.

Thanks for a nice cache which will get a point for a n SmileSmile

A sad bit of history, thanks for sharing it mangomail. Found the cache quickly.

A clever hide - liked it. Thanks mangomail.

walked up and went yup bet it's there...but GPS said otherwise....after looking I went back and there it was! need to listen to those initial instincts!
 
Quick find on our way east to find a few geocaches before we had to get back onboard USS BONHOMME RICHARD and leave this great area. Enjoyed this cache - TFTC!

Spending time in Darwin to do some caching, relaxing and maybe some fishing.
Cache was a quick find. But as the yellow bit is broken, the log is now damp.
Thanks for the cache, mangomail.
 
09-Aug-13
First find back from down south. Great hide but needs maintenance. (The yellow bit is broken) and no that isn't a helpful clue cachers! !!TFTC
 
29-Jul-13
We arrived in Darwin today & have set up our van in the caravan park.
After lunch we headed out to Fanny Bay area to sight sea & look for some caching.
Not too many places to hide a cache on a concrete slab.
Thanks for the information also mangomail
 
27-Jun-13
On the pushbike today I was wobbling around the northern bits of Darwin betwixt sea and airport Smile
I ended up here.
A couple of circus caravans were camped out in the park.
Probably early arrivals, waiting for the rest of the circus to catch up for the skool holidays Big Grin
I rolled to a stop by the big concrete slab.

The GPS was insisting that GZ was in the middle [:o]

Only one possible hidey hole presented itself.
And of course it did hide a cleverly disguised cache Big Grin

I poked and prodded the hiding spot after extracting the logbook, and there is not much chance it will disappear down a hole, 'cos the hole is blocked Big Grin


TFTC !!
 
24-Jun-13
Great cache! Fancachetic even!!
Informative write-up on the history of the area. Impossible to tell without prior knowledge that the concrete slabs at this site were the foundations of mission housing for the children of the stolen generation.

On a Trip to the top end for the V8 Race weekend 14 days of driving and racing
interesting area to go to
 
17-Jun-13
Spent the day out with Honeysucker grabbing as many caches as we could around Darwin while showing him the sights (it is his first time to the Top End).
The log part has come apart from the cache part and may disappear down. TFTC. Big Grin
 
12-Jun-13
Hit the bikes again, and travelled around Nightcliff, and a little way south with Bettyboo3747.
We did wonder what the slabs of the long gone buildings were used for (probably should read descriptions before doing the cache!)
A nice hide, glad we didn't have to lift the slabs to find it. Smile
Thanks, Robmc.

# 3517. Day 2 of cycling around Darwin with Robmc and trying to collect caches along the way. Altogether not a hugely successful day - gathering 20 Founds and getting 6 DNF's.

To my surprise our GPS was playing fairly here and we zeroed in very quickly to find this bold and clever little hide. Thank you for bringing this little park to our attention.

Whoo hoo, FTF Big GrinBig GrinBig Grin

Just picked up the phone to see if we had missed any emails when it blinged with notification of this cache. Into the Geo Jimny and off we go.

No lost children wandering around GZ, just a nice little cache to be found (Mrs TiedyeSmileys was on the ball with this quick find).
Be fun trying to find this when the circus is in town.
