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 (next 28 days), just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it 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.

This has been missing since May this year. I keep checking to see if this is replaced, but nothing is ever done.

also want to know when this one is coming back online, I walk past the Waramanga shops each weekend and am so anxious for this one to get back in action!

Any idea when this one will be coming back online? It is now my closest unfound...

Off line for 2 weeks

Searched several large trees in the vicinity to no avail. Think this needs revision.

Just catching up on some logging for the past month. We searched and searched and eventually decided to call it a night. We will have to keep an eye on this one

Lots of kids about at the two nearby primary schools. There was a stomped on eclipse mint tin near a tree my gps suggested it should be near. I agree with other recent logs, I think this ones needs to be looked at.

See other logs...

Checked out two big trees on this thankfully sunny morning, no luck at either.

Had a fairly diligent look but like the others came up with nothing.

no luck this is definitely a high muggle area, the local schools use it everyday and its used by people at night. if its where we were (8m from GZ) i wouldn't be surprised if its been muggled, sorry

Searched with GSC2000 and Stardust2410 while waiting for Soccer to start ! No luck for us even after 10 minutes.

This area was a bit odd, there were a few people walking around randomly over and over again. It might have been exercise, but if so it was a bit more random than I would have expected. I did have the sight of several balloons including the whale heading into town overhead while I waited for gaps to retrieve and replace. Thanks.

having no gps, found a rough location using the map, then used the clue. very easy find. tftc

Stupid GPS didn't go down the nearby road (the one I saw near GZ when I got there) so I ended up parking at the high school and hoofed it over from there. Lucky it was 4.30pm and no-one (seemed) to be around.

Cache was found after a short search, and although mint tins can be a pain, I like the way this one fits in its hiding spot.

Thanks for the hide EdenDanny.......

Quickly grabbed under the watchful eyes of about half of Stromlo High.

No troubles making the nab.

Thanks EdenDanny for the cache.

not sure if muggles found this one, checked all nearby trees

Another quick find, thanks.

Nice quick easy find before the phone loaded up. I was hoping that I had to climb a tree for this one, but my dreams were foiled from the mint tin that was half out of its hiding spot. Put it back to where it was meant to go and hid it so that no passing muggles would find it.

TNLN SL. TFTC EdenDanny!

Another fun find for newbie geo-kids. Lovely afternoon walk. TFTC.

6927. [green]FFP accompanied me on the wander over here from the school. A quick find a few metres away from where my GPSr was indicating but spotted easily. FFP hid it a bit better. On the way back to the car she got to call out to the teens on the playground who were smoking a very funny smelling cigarette. They didn't bat an eyelid. [/green]

[blue]Thanks for the cache EdenDanny and the fillings. [/blue]

A lovely little cache as we like Minties too! Found in the pitch dark! TFTC

Thank you Mintie 03 what a lovely cache hope you continue to enjoy caching

First cache found! Good fun.

Well done great little hide TFTC

After venturing out to try and get the FTF a week or so ago and being thwarted by having to go to work (dang work) back today to make the grab. Swear I'd looked there the first time around!!

Hide is very fragile, so future finders proceed with caution!

TFTC.

No problems finding it, just a challenge getting it for those of us who are "vertically " challenged.

This was the easiest find of the day. The previous logs are confusing because we had to bend down for this - don't see how being vertically challenged could ever be a problem! Thanks EdenDanny.

Yes, we found it! Excellent hiding spot! with cbr900rr and young sora 2005

#5 found with lady timelord and cbr900rr and retrieved 'first to find' trackable

#539 Hooray back again today for a quick find tftc

Quick look with the geokids but no luck will be back

Was excited to have one near home but unfortunately cbr900rr and I couldnt find it

it is still there. may need to up the difficulty

1910. Saw that this one had not been found on the way to work so made a short detour. I then noticed mtrax's DNF log and had second thoughts, but then thought what the heck, it has to be worth a look so headed to GZ. Once there I was greeted by one familiar face and one new one. Nice to meet 5Powells. After a brief search, TE and myself settled in for a bit of a chat and were soon joined by Black bunny. The bunny then had the container in hand within minutes, so it was so nice to be sharing the *FTF* with these two cachers.
Thanks EdenDanny for the cache and a very good hide.

i helped my family hide this one. it is named after me.

Found it! Thanks for hiding it!

Had a look and a few options and nothing in the obvious spot, GPS coords put me in the grass near the path so wasn't quiet sure of the correct coords.
Just want to be sure its still there as its a high muggle area being so close to the school, perhaps I'll have another look a bit later in the day.

Chooo ooo *FTF* with Blackbunny and Boot65!
Had already spent some while searching with 5Powells, when Boot65 turned up. Kept searching some more... 5Powells had to leave, and we were all but giving up when Blackbunny came to the rescue! He had it almost immediately! I had the coordinates about 8m out, but it is where you would think it was!

Thanks Mintie and ED.

Arrived at GZ thinking that the lurking Tankengine and Boot65 had found it and were just having a chat, but was told that the cache was being a little elusive. After searching the obvious spots, I re-evaluated the area and came up with the find. I was told that the previous searchers had already looked there but they must have overlooked the hide.

So a joint *FTF* with Tankengine and Boot65.

Thanks for the cache Mintie and EdenDanny and the ants.

10:36:00 AM: (1 of 1) Find#4224
returned a bit later in the day and the daylight and a small hint makes all the difference, I saw a glint of the container when searching which I didn't see in the early morning attempt. nice hide.. very tricky

Found on a late afternoon stroll around the area. Neat hide - let's hope the camouflage stays intact.
TNLN, TFTC.

Searched for a good 30 minutes with no joy. Great to meet Tankengine and Boot65 also out for the early morning hunt.
