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.

4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache

The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.

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

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Have massage owner have not had any reply.
 
This has been missing for over 12 months. Needs Maintenance ...or archiving (which apparently we can't request) because the cache owner is not responding at all.
 
This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

We couldn't find it

Not found for a long time. I had a decent look but no find. Owner please check.
 
25-Jan-17
Defiantly not here. Perhaps the wasps took it some place else.
 
25-Jan-17
Notice that this cache has not been found for some time. I also noticed that the owner has not logged on since February. 2016. Might be time for it to be removed or replaced.

31-Jul-16
Fitzy_1965, SpecimenX, Sol de Lune and I (logged as "FASS") headed from Canberra to Orange and surrounds for a caching blitz over the 30-31 July weekend. We logged around 1000kms in the Geo-Jeep, selecting those caches that Fitzy had not previously found. I scored around 130 caches for the trip. The visit was characterised by blue skies, very green paddocks, lots of water off and on the road, a fair amount of mud, and good company! Still plenty of caches to collect and scenic spots to explore on a return trip. Thanks to my fellow travellers for a fun weekend, and the COs for all their efforts in putting out and maintaining the caches.

First DNF for the day, but not the last. SDL was a previous finder on this cache, and confirmed it was not where it should have been. Perhaps a Molong Flood took it for a ride?
 
31-Jul-16
I suspect this one is miles away by now - lol. Hope to grab it next time I'm in the region.
 
13-Jul-16
Im a local doing the rounds for maitnence and this one seems to be missing may be due to resent rain
 
11-May-16
Looks like it has gone.
 
11-Apr-16
Looked around for a while. Resorted to hint and then photo. If photo 1 is accurate then the cache has been taken. No sign of the container anywhere.

Great little spot
 
08-Mar-16
On a 2 week holiday and today travelling from Bathurst to Dubbo. Of course we had to do some caches, eh. We stopped here and we stopped there to locate those caches wherever they were placed. I apologise for the generic log, however each of the ones found, were great in their own way. Thanks to the CO's of the caches for placing them where they were. TFTC
 
08-Mar-16
On our way to Dubbo from Bathurst as part of our two week road trip from Canberra to Tweed Heads. Many interesting caches found, some we are still looking for and a greater appreciation of our vast country. Thanks to all the COs - you have brought us to some very interesting places!
 
04-Mar-16
Found early morning after working in the district and over-nighting in town. Not much flow below GZ at the moment. Many thanks RYLISH

Another cache in Molong with good size parking for big vehicles and it was shady and breezy here on a hot day. Hard to imagine that trickle being a river almost up to the bridge. TFTC RYLISH.

It took e a little searching as my first cache but really cool little spot!
 
14-Oct-15
Realised we had to cross the bridge, but once there it did not long to spot the container. It looked like it might be a stretch but proved easier than appearances.
TFTC RYLISH
We really thought Molong was a well cared for town and looked to be doing all right.

Nicely hiden catche having good fun in molong today tftc
 
08-Aug-15
We're on our way home to Sydney after a night in Yeoval for Dead Men Talking - a play/ conversation between Banjo Paterson and Henry Lawson. Wow! Can't believe how high the water was in 2005. We're guessing the newish overpass came as a result of those floods. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

QLD Mega trip 2015 with Sol de Lune. On this almost 400km road trip we drove from Canberra to Stanthorpe caching in all the towns along the way with mostly great success. Around the Mega there were heaps of caches to be done including a few power trails. Despite the weather we got all of the planned caches done.

Day fourteen and wow, the last day of the trip. We did a bit more caching in Moree before heading south. All the way home in one day with only a bit of caching along the way. Thanks.

This find was pure luck. We had given up when bikerbuddy found the container on the ground, well down the slope. We returned it to where we thought it should go. Hope it survives now.

Thanks Smile
 
23-Nov-14
There's an obvious hiding place up under the bridge, but the cache wasn't there. We checked the logs and decided we would probably DNF it too. For some reason I looked further down the slope and I found the cache. Strangely, the log had been vandalised, but then placed back in the container. There were only a few pages left. We signed the log and replaced the cache where it was obviously meant to go. We tried to make it as hidden as possible, but who knows how it will last if some determined muggle has their eye on it. Thanks
 
21-Nov-14
Out and about but failed to unearth his one.

The cache does not seem to be behind its hide, no evidence of cache at all.
 
14-Oct-14
A nice easy walk from the stop off area.
Cache was laying on the ground with the lid off, placed it back in its hiding place.
Thanks.

Nice little spot for a cache. TFTC
