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.

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.

--------

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

I've noticed this cache is carrying a maintenance log which really does need to be addressed by the cache owner.

The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) within 28 days,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?

You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:

- Check on the cache, repair and/or replace the cache 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 praises.

- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (within 28 days). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. For ongoing issues (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to speed.

- 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 I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) it 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.

No cigar for me. Maintenance required I think.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Not there and appears has not been since bushfire.

Appears the have been placed before the burnoff/bushfire. Not there as documented.

Yes, definite fire through here, not many hiding spots left

Couldn’t find. Didn’t have any phone service to check the other logs. I suspect it has gone, will be great to see it back

Found the clues but couldn’t find the geo

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

No luck or us. In fact, no luck for the cache either. This area has seen a fire, and the tree we suspect hid the cache has been burnt. Even if we were at the wrong place, there's nowhere left to hide a cache anyway.

A good hunt with some difficulty in getting a fix with the gps finally made the find nice cash thank you

Fun mini bush-bash! Tftc

A great walk to find this one. Took us a little while thanks to spotty phone service. We also went one path too far past the log & were clambering through the bushes for longer than we needed to.

TFTC!

Thanks for the great cache

Back down in Normansville spending the weekend with Mr Parrot Senior.
Headed out for a trip down for a view of Kangaroo Islan and this was one of the caches we visited along the way.
Mrs Parrot Snr is really getting into caching and loved the chase.

Wet and raining when we went in fot this one.

Mrs Parrot Snr knows no fear and followed me in.

Out with Muff1 find a few caches that are a little off the beaten track.
Thanks to geosheps from mogni

We are not sure if this cache is suffering from cache creep or if the co-ords are out. If you look for a big multi trunk object you will find the cache. With all that bracken we suggest long pants to stop some of the scratches. SL TFTC

Jesswrigley and I were staying for an extended weekend just outside Cape Jervis, and today was our second day hiking in Deep Creek Conservation Park. We walked the Deep Creek circuit hike calling into Deep Creek Cove, before walking up to Tapanappa Lookout, and then seeing the waterfall during our return back to Trig Campground. Another massive 30,000 steps walked today! Then it was a matter of driving around collecting a few geocaches near the roads.

We parked as close as we could to the posted coordinates, and then walked in through the medium dense fern land. There were a few light trails that we intersected, but otherwise it was just trying to follow the terrain to get to GZ. I mentioned the landmark that likely contained the cache, and sure enough, the cache was found at this location. All in good shape, thanks guys.

A little detour through the bus, quick find after a long morning hike around Deep Creek

What has a long body, large wings and bulging eyes? We don't know either but it scared the crap out of H on the way to the cache. Tftc.

Spent the morning out caching with ilook4geo and planned a route that covered farming, forests and foreshore. Each cache found had our names noted on the log book before we moved on. All were replaced as found.
Found the indicator so knew it was close. Then it was a bit of a bush bash to find the actual container. Thanks go to Mark & Tracy c/o geosheps for this cache placement.

Out caching today with goingplaces2 and having a great time. This was one of the caches we did and enjoyed. TFTC.

TFTC awesome find watch out for the Kangaroos

Bit of a bush bash but easy find

Found while in the area chasing a FTF. A short walk and a quick find. TFTC

Out today with Freddo and Waldron for a tour of the Fleurieu Peninsular and a spot of tree climbing [^]
Both always fun activities.
This was one of the stops along the route and definately a fun find
Cheers & TFTC geosheps

What a beautiful spot for a cache to reside! Nabbed while out and about from our camp site over at Deep Creek. The coordinates were out by a fair way so you do need to widen the search. Tftc

What a beautiful area. Found on a drive while camping at Deep Creek. Thanks for bringing us here and for the cache.

Found on a chilly morning walk while staying at the camp ground. Disturbed a couple of kangaroos on approach to GZ who didn't seem too concerned about our presence. TFTC

??

Now that was a nice area. I ended up being camoed in wattle as what ever I was wearing was like the opposite part of velcro for wattle. You try getting it off when you want to get back into the car in a hurry and everyone else is looking at you. Lovely area.

Thanks to geosheps and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

Found by The Boofs TFTC ?.

Found with family. Lovely little walk. TFTC

A nice little walk in the park. TFTC. 25/03/2016, 15:25 Find #1838

Out and about on days caching with anymules. Nice quick find.

Ya, I managed to get this one, followed my GPS which I'm just getting used to, seem to go where the iPhone won't. So plowed through ferns cobwebs to GZ, chuffed GPS work! Thanks for getting out here.

Easy walk almost to GZ if you follow the trail ache all good

We were staying nearby for the weekend so decided to knock off a couple of caches while we were in the area. We got to this one the hard way and opened it up. Where's the log book? I dunno. Well it's got to be there somewhere - give me a look.... Alas, no log book. So back to the campsite to get a fresh log sheet then back to GZ. So after a couple of goes the find was made. Took nothing, left fresh log sheet. TFTC geosheps.

After bush bashing through the bracken, we then came across the easy way to the cache

A quich find then the easy way back again


Cache #6790. TFTC geosheps

Found it

TFTC

Yep

Found reasonably quickly after hiking through shoulder high bushes - a little off the trail but not too far - signed log

Never quite got to here on our numerous previous visits deep south. Made the slight detour off the main road to traipse through the ferns...
GPSr had us all over the place, from tree to tree, until it stopped at the right one!
A very peaceful spot here this arvo...
TNLNSL
Thanks

Out for a day's caching with Freddo.

A nice walk which of course we made harder than we needed to.

The walk out was easier.

TFTC

Nice stroll in the bracken. The cache was found in the last place we looked. Well done on an excellent cache.

This cache was found using a Garmin GPSr, Montana 650t, Oregon 550 or Dakota 20. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

Two kangaroos near cache

We are camping nearby in Stringbark campsite and it was a bit chilly so we did the walk to keep warm. TFTC

Cache found after a nice stroll through the ferns. We parked at the entrance to the Ridgetop Retreats and followed the trail right up to the cache. A lovely place to visit on a nice cool morning.

Thanks geosheps.

Found with auzzie convict tftc

Tftc found with polkys quest

Found it once it stopped raining. A few kangaroo's also hiding in the ferns also.

Lots of spider webs on the short side track to this GZ. Take a stick or something to push them out of the way or go around them. Nice and quite area for a walk in beautiful country. TFTC!...by the Aussie branch of the GronwoldFamily/Dobie's Pride.

Friday 13th and 3LG and I ate caching our way to Victor Harbour. This was one of the many caches we found TFTC

We are staying in Normanville with earthlight for a few days, it is day 3 and today we are making our way to Victor Harbour with a slight detour grabbing the caches we have missed down towards Deep creek, well i certainly cleared quite a few spiders webs looking for this one as the GPS wanted to take me all over the place. TFTC

Day 8 of team Seffnjarah and team Mickjor's trip to Adelaide and beyond. After staying in Cape Jervis overnight I went off to do some caching while the rest of the team members went on a trip to Kangaroo Island for the day.

After an expedition out at Onkaparinga River NP series was aborted due to the stifling 42 degree heat, I called in to the Deep Creek Conservation Park to grab a couple of caches on my radar.

A short walk through the ferns soon had me at GZ where the cache was quickly located. TFTC.

Had a pleasant walk to GZ then a quick find. TFTC geosheps.

Nice little forest walk

I found this previously. This note is to allow a TB to visit to track a friend's find (who found it with me).

Nice hide. All along the way we said 'that looks like the spot'... 'no that looks like the spot' and finally we just obeyed the GPS. TFTC. Took TB.

Found with Trickytracy and Jo Campbell Saturday 23 august camping with family in Deep Creek. Jo Campbell left a travel bug picked up from Norway

Found it and put in a Trackable ,Kelly's Little Green Frog that I picked up in Randaberg Norway

Tftc. A quick find.

Thanks for the cache... love deep creek

A lovely part of the world. Thanks geosheps.

A lot of fun. Thanks.

I was supposed to be on my way home from the JLWE: I eventually left Normanville at about 5pm
During the day I had a great time doing the locus cache on numerous caches with absolutely gorgeous scenery all around [^]

A quick little find in amongst the ferns, what a lovely spot

This was our 11th cache find in the caching run & we found it at 14:10
So this now makes our total find count 6795.
[blue]
Found after attending the "Friendly Fleurieu Frolic" event. Everyone is packing up to go home, we are lucky enough to stay another day before moving on, so a nice drive around the peninsula is in order today.

We didn't do the circuit walk. We approached from a different direction and had a return trip of 205 metres.

Coordinate Accuracy: Fair (Around 7 metres).
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks geosheps for the hunt today.

12th find of day 4 of my June Long Weekend Caching Trip.

Out and about cleaning up a few caches after the Long Weekend Event. Started heading for the wrong tree to start with before correcting myself and following the GPS to the correct one.

TFTC geosheps

Well named cache. After having been to Otways National Park I didn't think I'd ever see similar beauty in SA, but you have proved me wrong. Thanks geoshps.

A nice location and a pleasant find. TFTC.

i was heading the wrong way to gz, nice ferns
tftc

Left the Northie crew at the camp site and got this one myself. Great spot to take the crew for a weekend camp.

Thanks for enticing us along this very pleasant walk.

Was heading down for the JLWE a day early to clear the playing field so there was no distractions on game day. Grabbed a few others on the way.

Quick find. TFTC.
