As there has been no response to the last request/s to attend to this cache, I have no option but to archive this listing on the basis it has been abandoned.

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include **GC Number and Cache Name**) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will unarchive it. Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

### **MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###
This cache would appear to be in need of owner intervention, therefore I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Geocache maintenance is a cache owner responsibility and includes regular visits to the cache to ensure it is in proper working order, especially when a seeker reports a problem with the cache.

Your prompt attention to any log that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers, have a read here: [Cache Maintenance Guidelines.](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) The guidelines advise; **if you can't fix it straight away then Disable it till you can.** This Help Centre article tells you how it can be done; [Temporarily Disable and Enable.]( http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 )

**Please respond to this situation within 28 days - so as to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.**

If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and indicating how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to date, or the cache will be treated as an abandoned and archived without further notice.

**And don't forget,** once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; [Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [Temporarily Disable and Enable ](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

No luck...gave up after seeing last few logs.

Checked whole wall, no toys, no log

Search the whole wall

Searched whole wall could not find

Searched high and low, although it was dark, could not find it alas

Found the toy but no log

DNFI

Dnf ! Not even the toy..

We searched the wall inside the car park and found nothing. Toy was gone from another did not find, so perhaps the one group who said they found it thought that was it?

Our current visit to Australia had been in the planning for over a year with the very significant help and advice from friends who live in Melbourne. The original plan was for a 2 month visit, but as things progressed we just couldn't help extending our trip to the full 90 days allowed on our visas - after all it's a big country and so much to see and do, especially with our favourite pastimes being birding, hiking and of course geocaching! We are currently on the first section of our journey, which started with our arrival at Perth airport followed by a day cycling around Rottnest Island before travelling on to Adelaide where we met up with our friends. We then continued on to spend some time on Kangaroo Island. We are currently on route to Melbourne via Goolwa, Strathalbyn, Coorong, Mount Gambier, Cape Bridgewater, the Grampians National Park, Port Campbell, Cape Otway and Lorne (where we are travelling to at present), cramming in as much as possible on route. From Melbourne we head to Tasmania for a few days, then back to Melbourne before setting off to Sydney via Wilson’s Promontory, Lakes Entrance, Mallacoota, Pambula Beach, Thredbo, Canberra and Fitzroy Falls. After a visit to Sydney we will travel on to the Gold Coast, then after spending a few days in the nearby mountainous birding hotspots, followed by an overnight trip to Fraser Island, we will fly from Brisbane to Cairns, visiting yet more good birding sites. We will then drive up to Cape Tribulation before heading back south again to Port Douglas and a day out on the Great Barrier Reef. We then return to Cairns for the flight to Alice Springs, where we will hire a 4x4 camper and set off for a week on the circuit to and from Kings Canyon and Ayers Rock. We then fly to Darwin from where we will spend the last two weeks of our holiday making our way to Broome via Kakadu, Cooinda, Katherine Gorge, Kununarra, Lake Argyle, Emma Gorge, the Bungle Bungle’s and Fitzroy Crossing. Our last two nights in Australia will be spent in Broome before we fly back to Perth, from where we will connect with the flight all the way back home to Zimbabwe via South Africa. We already know we can't wait to return!

As per the last log we found the toy at Ground Zero as per our GPS co-ordinates. Thanks so much for the cache!

I left a toy so find that instead until cache is checked

I reckon this one needs checking going by the string of DNFs.

DNF !!!

Searched and searched and searched and searched! No luck. We think it's been muggled.

Cheeky! A bit disappointing but fun any way!

Looked everywhere on the wall and put hands into all nooks without joy

No luck unfortunately, but we dod get to see an awsome old pirate ship. So i guess maybe it was a win!

No joy we had good search but no luck

With Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.

No luck for us today.

I was very keen as a jelly bean to find this cache but nowhere in sight?!?! It was a fun search though!

We are travelling from Port Campbell to Apollo Bay. We searched for ages for this cache. We looked in every nook and cranny on both sides of the wall.

Nice spot

Took Jonts, Joss and I about 5 minutes to find (GPS used) at 10kh-1. TFTC!!

While travelling the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne to Adelaide we found this one on one of the beautiful days we had there. Amazing views and stunning landscape combined with nice seaside towns and cities.

Thanks for placing this cache

Great cache and view. Tftc

On a geocaching road trip. Enjoying the area and variety of caches.
Thanks for adding to the enjoyment of this trip.

Yay, easy find with the geokid. Tftc.

TFTC Quick smiley on a cloudy day. Mrs. out souvenir shopping for the grandkids so Had a moment.

Had to use the old 'I'll just sit here and tie my shoe' trick to find this one!' Lots of people around today, but after a few patient minutes, log was found, signed and replaced.
Thanks for bringing us here to this beautiful place. Now it's time for some lunch! TFTC

Thanks for my first find!

Good cache, easy to find even if I did walk the long way round instead of the beach approach! Lots of full bits of log sheets so I've replaced with new. Left my trademark laminated old Australian postage stamp. TFTC.

Our last find for the day. TFTC

On the road in Australia, founded this cache, TFTC.

En het is weer mooi weer hier in Apollo Bay. Mooi uitzicht op de haven!!

Had to wait for muggles to leave who were parked at GZ quick find after they left.TFTC

Found by hubby while we were on a coach tour of the Great Ocean Road.

In Apollo Bay this week and geoson was getting a surf lesson down the beach, so I nabbed this cache beforehand. The gps had me a good 7m in the wrong direction, so a little cache instinct was required. After that it was an easy find. The rock wall and pier was an interesting walk. Tftc.

Quick one, tftc

Mplcey

Nice stroll the park, an easy find

Pulled up got out and there it was TFTC.

Spotted this one while we were still in the car - quickly had signing duties done and cache replaced.... Now time to enjoy the views
T4TC:)

Our first ever find. We did it without the GPS much to the delight of the children! Looked right along the wall and then found it right in front of our car! Thanks. Great fun and thank you for the find!

#217. Doamono spotted this cache quickly, but we had to wait for some muggles parked right in front to leave. So we sat on the wall for a while and enjoyed the view. Tftc!

2nd find for Apollo bay. A few tourists around today and some geese! Gave us time to feed the young fella. Nice spot for the cache. With myshell22. TFTC.

We visited Apollo bay during our drive along the great ocean road.
It was time to do a quick break, so we stopped by the Marina and searched this cache, it was found easily.
Thanks for the cache.
Greetings from Portugal.

#9827, Found it with DroidCachebox!

This was our last day in Australia and we decided to rent a car to drive the Great Ocean Road!
I'm glad we did it, although it's a long drive for only one day (we didn't have more time).
The views are just amazing, most parts are very similar to the coast in Portugal, although we don't have a road along the coast, so it's not so easy to see them all at once.
We really enjoyed the drive!
Thanks for the cache.
Greetings from Portugal.

Easy to find. Nice view over the harbor.

TFTC! we (ineedcoffee) found it fast with non muggle friends and ankerin - no pen.. photolog instead

found with ineedcoffee! tftc

Nice easy find. Lovely spot. TFTC

Sneaky little cache

Last one for the day and Apollo Bay. Found with Minnie77 TFTC

So much Fun Xx

Did as suggested and ditched the gps to find this one.
Great place
TFTC

We had to wait a while because a muggle was sitting in a parked car just in front of the cache.
After she left, we logged our visit and tried to clean the cache contents by collecting the separate logsheets in one zipbag.
TFTC, greetings from Finland!

Found on our 6 week journey through SA, VIC and NSW. Danke vielmol fürs Versteckä! Greetings from Switzerland ) GZ few metres away...

Nice spot for a cache. It's in need of some maintenance. Log is full and the swaps need a clean up.

This is my first geocache! I wasn't expecting it to be so small and cute

We were looking to find a cache and a suitable shower after camping for a couple days on the great ocean road. This site met both our needs.TFTC!

Doubt it

Our guides first suggested a park that was 400 m off. Revising their advice we ended up only 10 m from a nicely placed cache at 13:10. TFTC

Found it

Found this cache during our trip through Australia. Thanks for placing.
