An action had been taken on this cache because of one of the following -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.From http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=707.15. 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.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###----------This cache is carrying a detailed log which suggest some attention by the cache owner is needed.The guidelines advise that the CO should make occasional visits to check on the cache as well as promptly address any logs that indicate that the cache requires some attention. If you can not attend to the issue promptly, then you need to Disable the cache - I have disabled it this time.Please respond to this situation (or indicated your intentions including a date) within **28 Days**, otherwise it will be necessary to withdraw the cache from the Active listing. The [Geocache Maintenance guideline](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.**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.

CO, it is inappropriate the be messaging fellow cachers derogatory remarks, because they've taken the time to follow the Geocaching Community Guidelines, and support your cache to remain in a safe state and allow cachers to enjoy the game comfortably. As the guidelines state, all geocachers should feel safe and comfortable as they pursue their outdoor adventures. In future, simply provide the same courtesy that has been given to you, and reframe from privately messaging cachers in the negative manner that you have shown me. It costs nothing to be kind. Geocaching Community Guideline references have been provided below, so we're all ontop of how the game works when it comes to logging a maintenance, and the appropriate cache types as a hider. Under 3.2. When a cache needs maintenance states: If you find a geocache in need of help (e.g. logbook is full or container is damaged), add a Report a problem option to your log. When to request owner attention: Logbook is full Container is damaged Cache should be archived Other Under 5.5. Cache containers explained:Suitable in all weather:Your container should be waterproof to protect cache contents from rain, snow, ice, and condensation. If you place your cache in direct sunlight, choose a container that wont degrade quickly from exposure. The lid and base should be made from the same material. If they are made from different materials, the seal will degrade faster. Disposable food storage containers are not suitable for life outdoors, as they quickly deteriorate and crack or get wet inside. Suitable for the location:Choose a container thats appropriate for the environment and population density of the location. A micro is hard to find in a forest, while a large cache may be too obvious in an urban setting.

Clocking up cache finds whilst working toward other challenge goals and milestones! Unfortunately this was a less than enjoyable cache to find. There are earwigs galore inside the container, and ontop of that there a hundreds of ants inside the plastic tube that the log is inside. In addition, there is rubbish everywhere. Cache was located 9m from where GZ is pinned. AussieGal88 South Australia is the place be for GCA1DNA - February 29th, 2024 in Adelaide! Let's show the rest of the Geocaching world what Australia is made of at The Great Leap Forward!

CO maintenance required.No lid on cache and exposed to the elements.Cache container is filled with earwigs.Black tube inside the container where the log is stored is filled with hundreds of ants.There is rubbish galore.

Found by JJSI Perkins

We are finally able to travel interstate without heaps of loops to jump through. We thought we would take it easy and have a look around South Australia and grab a few more LGA's while we were here.
Finding my way into this one was the tricky part but I eventually got there.



This was find number 4 for the day.

Kind of weird little spot with bustle around. Second day in SA and out on trusty treadles aka my mtb to explore the trails and surroundings. Had no intention of doing so many but these quality caches piqued the curiosity and anticipation of another surprise or fun cache. Happy and relieved to record no DNF’s and on average most were located ‘relatively’ quickly. TFTC AND THE FUN and the effort to contribute to this fave game!

TFTC nice spot

Nice and easy

In tree lots of house works good find from the boys

Quickly spotted and picked! TYFTC

Off the ground!

Out walking along the river linear park finding a couple of caches with Johnnyclem. TFTC

Today I decided to head out for a days caching with it being a public holiday and not having anything else to do. I find Australia Day to be a pointless day off if not attached to a weekend, change the date and make it always be attached to a weekend.
It was quite a warm day which didn’t hinder my 15000 step count but made for thirsty work.
Found 40 caches for the day, very productive. Some great hides today in Gawler and Nuriootpa. Still so many to come back for, need to get some puzzles solved.
Thankfully no snakes spied today.
Finished the day off with a lovely Zambreros in Gawler on the way home.
My appreciative thanks to all the COs for the wonderful hides.
Enjoyed the walk to this one TFTC

Found it! Fruits not the only thing found on trees

Thanks bructus for the cache and placement. Found on a walk from the last cache. No one is left here in the park now, I must consider heading for home.

An afternoon in the skate park followed by a few caches before heading home.
TFTC bructus.

Never seen fruit like that before. TFTC

Today is sunny but cool, great day for a drive. I’ve come to Nuriootpa to sample some of the many caches on offer there.

The fruit on the trees is not ready yet, but getting there.

Thanks for the cache and maintenance Bructus.

Log drowned! Needs maintenance.

Found during a caching tour of Nuriootpa and the Barossa with Team Waldron on a cool and cloudy day made for perfect caching weather. Thanks for the cache bructus!

Parked up and made the walk over to find this cache, managed to find the old cache in the tree that isn’t in good shape and another on the ground so placed both in the tree and stamped the newer cache

With the weather looking a bit precarious in the city today I decided to headed north towards the Barossa to find a few more caches in the area before making my way through springton, mount pleasant and back home via kersbrook to find the new caches in the area. Total of 48 finds for the day.

Thanks for the cache

TFTC
On a quick trip through the Barossa with geo hubby Animal62 & decided to grab a few caches along the way.
The log was signed & dated before being returned back to its hiding spot.
Log certainly needs some attention.

This yellow face has been dogging me everytime i come up here to Nuri and the Barossa. I always have just not bothered with it, and to this day i don't know why but i just didn't bother for some silly reason.

Today, St Patricks day 2020, i was determined i was gonna go for the walk and grab it... or i wouldn't get my Green Beer lol..... uuurgh!

The cache was in 2 parts being 2 of them i signed both ha ha.... at 10:50.

The ground one & the tree one, just, "To be sure, To be sure" i had the right one lol
TFTC bructus

Thought i had found vut seemed to bea decoy. Orchard is looking a little sad. Would be nice if it was brought back to life. Cache could use some attention. Bur otherwise ok

So many choices! Lovely spot! TFTC

Great find.
Took me a few years to get back to this one!

Quick find. Nice to see the pears are starting to grow.

Tyftc Jones family.

Enjoying some Nuriootpa caching before the tour passes through tomorrow. Thanks for the hide.

Dnf today. Cache gone again

appears a muggler possum has picked off the cache... A suitable replacement is now nesting in its place.....

Certainly a beautiful spot, but no luck for me today. Did find an empty travel mug nearby, not sure if this is the cache holder or just rubbish.

Not going to last no lisa on it

Kids loved running through the orchard. Mould on paper. Will come back in summer. Bug in there ready for a swap.
