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.

7.15. Archive or unarchive a geocache
Archiving a geocache is meant to be a permanent action. Only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ can unarchive caches. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if the cache meets the current geocaching guidelines.

If a cache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance, it will not be unarchived.

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###

----------

Hi there SE_SA_Geocachers,

It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is an issue. The cache has been temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed.

**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.**

#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache and repair and/or replace or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked and [**ENABLE your cache**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ). Then sit back and wait for the logs of praise to roll in.

- **Place A Write Note Log::-** Reviewers are not mind readers (unfortunately), so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, you have been in hospital, the area is in flood, or some other reason that has prevented attending to the cache, they can't tell what is going on.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) and when a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
**Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks, so as to keep everyone up to speed.**

- **Adopt/Archive:-** If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**Archive it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56), so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when a Reviewer next looks at the cache page, it is likely that they will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) on the basis that it has been abandoned.

Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

**JUST A TIP:-** Have you checked out the Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own? Have a read about it [**HERE.**](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/07/welcome-to-the-cache-owner-dashboard/?newsletter=PM) You will find your very own dash board [**HERE**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner?utm_source=geocaching&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=COD).

Thanks for your cooperation,

Found by Sara and Mads, and video steamed to Case, Dyl and Lil Case down the hill. TFTC!

Was going to head North East to the South East of Queen's Landing this weekend, but a while ago had a premonition... which came true so we booked the South East of SA instead
Lots to do down this way, and good weather for it too.

Gets a fav for the series, even though a bit old now the concept is great and the game boards are still here.

Big thanks to SE_SA_Geocachers for placing and maintaining this heaps good cache


"A cache a day keeps the doctor away" - teaming up with Purrfect Di and Jack should do it ! ! !



------------


- - Search at a good social distance whenever you can - or at least with nice clean friends - -
Things are slowly getting back to whatever normal might be - take it carefully!
Catching covid or gastro or anything really would mess up your streaks and challenges!
Keep away from all the nasty bugs ( except nice travel bugs of course )
[|)] - 2, 4, 6, 8,,, let's all go and vaccinate, one day when it's available lol !
[|)] - keep away from crowds as much as you can, they spread the nasty bugs! [:o)]
[|)] - go out and find or place some new caches in our safe country areas away from the red zones

Life's good. Enjoy ! ! ! Just do it

So this is the foundation needed to play the game. TFTC

nice day for it, TFTC

Very cool

Amazing game. Well done to those who initiated it.

From 27 November to 30 November, I & J plus the little one visited the Limestone Coast. We spent some good time in Murray Bridge, Kingston SE, Robe, Beachport, Southend, Millicent, Mount Gambier, Port MacDonnell, with the main focus on Millicent and Mount Gambier.

During the four day period, we tried about 100 caches in total, including Traditional Cache, Multi-Cache, Earth Cache, Virtual Cache, and Mystery Cache. And found about 80 of them.

This was the sixth find on Day 2. 15th find for the whole trip.

We planned this cache, due to the high favourite points.

Parked off the road, and walked to GZ. Cache has been found easily.

Great size container! However, the outer container cannot seal properly, and some unpleasant creatures broke in. Opened the inner container, and signed the log book.

Took nothing, left nothing. Then put everything back.

Thanks for the cache, SE_SA_Geocachers.

Found it. Worth favourite point.

This weekend, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I headed to the limestone coast / south-east for some sightseeing, mountain biking, and sinkhole diving. On Friday night, we stayed at Robe, seeing the famous obelisk the following morning. We then drove through Little Dip Conservation Park to Beachport, then Rendelsham, Hatherleigh, and staying in Millicent. On Sunday, we checked out Tantanoola and the Tantanoola Caves, mountain biked through Mount Gambier Forest and Browns Lake area, and finally on Monday, we dived Kilsby Sinkhole before driving back Telford Scrub Conservation Reserve and Penola. A great long weekend of sunny weather.

Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I started the day with a Millicent breakfast, and from there, we headed through Tantanoola, followed by a visit to Tantanoola Caves, which was a fantastic experience. We then unloaded the mountain bikes for a ride through Mount Gambier Forest completing the Honan Mint Trail. Our final stop of the day was Mount Gambier's caldera / Valley Lake area, mountain biking some of the trails there.

We were on our mountain bikes riding around a few of these trails around the caldera/ridge. It looks like this was a really cool series back in the day, and this game board cache is just evidence of this. Unfortunately, it has detoeriorated a bit over time, but still a nice cache to have found. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks SE_SA_Geocachers for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

A fun weekend away with [@Davidwazza](http://coord.info/PR61VZX) exploring Mt Gambier & surrounds! TFTC!

Once upon a time this would of been awesome cache but over the years it has gone down hill but it’s still okay

Today I decided to head cache around glencoe and Mount gambier for the day before heading to Millicent for an evening event. Despite the horrible weather I came away with 49finds for the day.

Thanks for the cache

Off on a slow tour from Adelaide through the Limestone Coast and inland areas to visit new places collecting little Yellow Faces.
Our travel companions are several Travel Bugs.
Team Honda thank the CO's for placing the caches to make our trip very enjoyable.

Day 347 ( Sunday 9th ) of our trip. Caching along the way. In Mt Gambier today. A total of 6 for the day and 6437 the trip. TFTC

Best cache iv found so far TTFC

Best cache we've found yet! Wow! TFTC

??

One of the best ones..

Found

Been checking out this cache and it's partner up the road over the last 6mths but this evening was the first chance I've had since my knee has healed and I was willing to try climbing/walking up steep slopes with grass....as it wasn't as steep as I had first envisioned and it was not wet from rain which always helps...or was that I am now confident that it can handle more adventurous terrains.... anyways it was a quick find. The cache was a little damp and smells a little mouldy inside but was ok and easy to write in the log book. Cool cache. TFTC

What a wonderful container !. It was a haven for slugs and we killed a redback spider. But a lovely thing was, a big brown butterfly landed on my hand.
Wonderful hide...we loved it. Tftc

Found during a long weekend geocaching around Mt Gambier that saw an entertaining variety of caches and events, some caches as easy finds, others challenging, a few that required a hint from a kindly CO to locate, and one or two failed attempts that will need a return visit to cross off the list! Thanks for the cache SE_SA_Geocachers!

I came down with mogni to do cache maintenance on some of her caches in Mount Gambier and surrounds. quick find.

Last find for the day. TFTC

Day 4 in the Millicent area and this afternoon I headed down to the Mount to go sinkhole snorkeling, grabbing caches on the way. Thanks to all the cache owners for the good quality caches in the area. TFTC

TFTC

Ok wasn't expecting something quite this big! Nor was the rat who has made its home here expecting me! Thanks for the cache!

What else do you do with a few hours of free time... cache of course!
I needed some 'me' time after the stresses of packing and moving myself again
A cool themed cache but time & weather has got to it. I disturbed a rat that has made this spot home and it scared the bejeezus out of me!


TFTC SE_SA_Geocachers

I'm sure this would have been a very impressive series when it was first put out (and still looks in reasonably good nick) [^], but this one was infested by slugs and mice on our visit today [xx(].
TNLNSL.
Thanks again SE SA Geocachers.

What a great cache. Just stopped at this one randomly whilst visiting the area for the day. Was a good choice.

Fave point for the surprise.

Out with 4bait and Geojill after a nice dinner at FACT (FISH AND CHIPS TAKEAWAY) definitely recommended

Found with Astronaut99 on a day out for driving practice. Didn't sign this as it was yuck! But here's a photo log. Thanks

Slugs!

OMG! Not one for the squeamish - it's full of slugs! I almost didn't bother signing the log but hey they don't bite, they're just squishy. The things mad GCers do for a smiley!! Didn't take anything but left a creepy crawly of my own. TFTC

Keen to find all of them TFTC

Found it

Found it

Nice one!

Finally a decent size container unfortunately didn't have anything to leave behind. TFTC

Found easily enough today. We aren't going to be around long enough to play any games. .

Mt Gambier is such a lovely location to go caching in. We found a variety of caches today and thanks to SE_SA_Geocachers for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Mount Gambier
Today we were caching with Alansee & Liz and Bruce.
After setting up camp, we headed out to do some of the local caches, we visited many interesting locations & found some intersting hides.
Thanks for placing this cache SE_SA_Geocachers

Wow, what a cache. Pity this series has died a little - would have been awesome to complete in its day. So much hard work must have gone into the caches (some of the ones we have managed to find have been some of the best I've seen!). Going to give this a favourite point, maybe not for this cache itself, but for the effort that went into this series. Took a copy of the game map as a souvenir- there are still plenty inside. Awesome effort guys - Tftc

Found at 1444. Somehow managed to stumble onto. TFTC.

Out caching with the grand kids and the 2 poochies an seen this one up for grabs thanks udder chaos

Owl had to go to Mount Gambier on a not-very-Blues-Brothers Mission for God and took Mrs SA Sewer Rats with her for company and caching. Once there they collected the enthusiastic muggle aunt, Bowerbird, and set off on a caching adventure. The hill looked a bit much for Owl, who was recovering from a leg injury, so she sent the Rat scurrying up to find the cache. She performed admirably and reported an impressive cache.

Once signed and replaced back to the car to report on the cache. TFTC

Great place for a cache. Many thanks for placing it here.

In Mount Gambier with Happy Pants for a day of caching. I can imagine the excitement many of the locals would have had when this series was first released. It would have been a lot of fun with the clues etc. The gameboard looks awesome. There was a bloke prospecting nearby, but I think he was concentrating on striking it lucky than worrying about what we were doing. TFTC SE_SA_Geocachers.

Grabbing a few caches along this stretch of road this afternoon with Yoshi Warriors, this one was soon located after a short walk and search. We had to keep an eye on a muggle that was not too far away but thanks to a large hide we soon had it in hand and logged. Thanks again SE SA Geocachers for the cache.

Found while killing time before Tulak wedding this afternoon. Tftc

Suscoe headed out early today as our time in Mount Gambier is quickly disappearing.
It was a very foggy start to the day but as time went by the blue sky gently emerged and a splendid day was had by us.
45 cache finds in total which was a pleasant surprise and we enjoyed all the finds.
This is a terrific location for geocaching and we have loved our time in the Mount.

The game boards look great.
Thanks to the SE SA Geocachers.

Found on a day out caching with CAD - still adjusting to this summer weather ... Used to Darwin where it's always HOT! Nice for a change!

2nd for another day in the lovely mount gambier TFTC good hide

Although we are somewhat regular visitors to Mt Gambier with family living locally, and we usually make a trip to admire the lake and surrounds, this was the first time I had ventured in this direction. Decided to push the hire car a little and drove almost all the way to GZ, then made the short trip through the long grass, looking for slithery things as I went. Quite surprised at GZ to find such a large and elaborate cache. Thanks SE_SA_Geocachers for the adventure

Keen to start this adventure!

Thanks for the cache, well done.

Whilst grabbing a quick dinner, we searched for some interesting geocaches to check out around the area. We soon noticed this series and were keen to make a start... first thing... grab a game board :cD Looking forward to seeing how this works out. TFTC SE SA Geocachers!!

Easy find. Now to play the game.

Found on this dark knight

Let the game begin!!!! Excited about this series here for 3 days hoping I can finish it tftc

Nice easy find. Now for the rest

Another great weekend with my geofamily, plenty of miles and smiles with a few geocaches found along the way.

Another of the series down, thanks SE SA Geocachers.

An awesome cache - clearly a favourite.

Day 4 of our trip to Mount Gambier and we all (Moneydork, Tounga, sushilord and I) had the whole day to cache while slowly heading home...slowly because there are sooo many caches to find
All up, I had 53 cache finds and 3 DNFs for the day.

Yet another cache found in the Mountopoly series and at the same time, I've started collecting McDonalds Monopoly tokens
Loved this one....a nice size and a neat hide
It's just sad that so many of this series are being archived and newer geocachers will never be able to complete the game board..me included.

TNLN. SL. TFTC SE_SA_Geocachers

Yay!! Our first family find and the beginning of mountopoly!! P.s. thanks to the girls for the pic below

When we were in the Centenary Tower carpark, we put the loaction for this cache into a road GPS. It wanted to take us in quite a direct route along walking track - not the done thing in a car. We worked our way around the road system and soon were within 40m of the cache. From there it was a quick find of a very well designed and constructed cache - a real highlight of the day. The cache and con tents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache SE_SA_Geocachers. This ne earns a Favourite from us.

Awesome find!so excited to get started with the board, took us a couple of near-hissy-fits to get there but we did. Still don't understand the clue haha

What a fantastic cache! With 2 Geo-kids, we love a good cache theme. We had done a couple of Mountopoly caches while in town for the long weekend from Central Vic & though we had better grab this one. Heading home tomorrow but hope to grab some more before leaving. I wish we were here long enough to xonplete the series. TNLN TFTC

We took advantage of the Long Weekend to roadtrip from Central Vic to Mount Gambier with a few detours. My first trip to SA and I loved it all.
Although not the first found of the series, we loved this one! Fantastic execution!
Found with becca85 & boo09. TFTC

In the mount for a couple of meetings today and after finishing up a little early I had time for a couple of caches for tomorrow it's up bright and early for the trip home.
Now I have the board I just need a few more clues, oh, and a heap more caches now.
Nice container.
Thanks for placing this cache SE_SA_Geocachers

Knock off from work. Whats this is it ever going to stop raining down here.
Mind you that is one pretty rainbow.
A quite night tonight given my trusty old freind the 62s died out on the road tonight.
Had to get out the laptop and holux GPS and use oziexplorer to find some caches.
At least that got me with 50 metres of a cache site.
Spent some time walking round in circles until I finally located it.
A bet Tchingal will have something to say about this one.

Brilliant cache should have done this one ages ago. Had a quick trip to Mount so only time for a few today TFTC

Love the idea. Love the cache. Great start to our Mountopoly game so grabbed a game board & we were off. Found with team TT016. TFTC

very creative.
look forward to completing the board.
tftc.

It's a big one!!! Awesome find

This was an awesome cache to start of the series feel like real treasure hunters haha
