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=70

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.

No response to a Needs Maintenance posted two months ago. No finds for nine months.

Four cachers have said that they are confident that their coordinates have led them to the right place, but none of them have found the cache. Before that, the logs suggest that it wasn't particularly difficult to find once you'd worked out GZ.

TOMBI! and I came down to Sydney to pick up my son from the airport, but as he is a muggle and refuses to do any caching we had to leave early and get it all in before the airport.
Waiting for him at Maccas we decided to attempt this one and worked out the GZ with a disappointing DNF. We are sure that we found the correct structure as per hint. Probably a good idea for CO to check is cache is still there.

I couldn't figure out the word puzzle. Not straight-forward enough for me. Oh well...

Had two hours to kill awaiting my connecting flight, so gave this a run. I'm confident I calculated final good but no joy in my search there

My calculations took me exactly to a place that matched the hint. I looked all around and up and down without success. The terrain rating of 2 seemed about right for getting to ground level at [my] GZ - I wouldn't expect to have to climb off the ground for a T2, so I didn't.

Had to make a trip up to the airport this afternoon so decided to grab a few caches along the way as we were running early. We collected all the required info and found the spot which fitted the hint but alas no cache. Not sure if the recent graffiti and tagging is the cause but we couldnt put our hand on the cache even after checking with a PAF. Maybe next time

Went to Krispy Kreme and found a cache with Missa25 and Zooter10, millymoo13 and Hailz13!! TFTC

Decided to try this one after going for a drive to get some Krispy Kreme donuts. Took longer to get the log book out than to find the cache!!! Found with Jeanovanwam, Zooter10, MillyMoo13 and Hailz13

Out and about again today for a long walk with the dog.
After the DNF the other day this one has been bugging me.
I messaged a couple of past finders and discovered I was in the wrong place.
So back today and found my mistake and off to another GZ.
A quick find once there. [^]
As previous finders have mentioned the log book is full and the cache has lost its magnet.
I have a spare container that I can donate for the cause. So a new container and new log book are now in place. See the photo.
Thanks for the cache.

Staying at a hotel opposite this cache overnight waiting for a flight to Canada. Did my calculations and took my life in my hands crossing the road through peak hour traffic. Initially miscalculated but after a check got to the right spot and found OK

Out and about today for another walk with the dog.
Once at the published co-ords I think I ended up with some numbers which gave me a GZ not too far away so hopefully I got the right answers to A,B,C, & D.
(A check sum would of be really nice about now. )
So off we walked and once at this GZ it seemed possible (and I read quite a few logs) that I am in the right place but with no checker .... well who knows[?]
Anyway, after quite some searching, high and low, we left with out finding the cache.
Oh well. On for another day maybe.

Diffusion and I have been early at the airport for our flight to Brisbane.
To shorten the wait before boarding we have done this cache.
TFTC.

While waiting for our flight, we did a short walk and came here.

Thanks for the cache.

log is full and cache container doesn't sit where it's suppose to anymore. Will PM the CO with some more details....

Been in Sydney for work but thought I'd have enough time before my flight to give this one a crack. Was a bit unsure about one of bits in info I needed but gave it a go anyway to see if it worked. Got some coords but thought I had it wrong, but tried anyways. After a fair bit of negotiation with local traffic I managed to get to what I thought was GZ. Looked around and nothing....I must have done my observations wrong. I was about to give up and looked down and saw the cache on the ground. Is in need of a new container and new log though. TFTC

While waiting to pick up Mrs C8 at airport I worked out the details and coords. Getting to GZ was a chore as traffic was very busy at this time of night.

In the dark I worked out where it could be but couldn't see it as I am vertically challenged and the light from my torch wasn't that good. Managed to get it with a little help from TOT and remove log to sign.

Putting it back proved difficult as it seems to have lost some of its magnetism so I hope it stays put. TFTC. #558.

Find #: 1,281
Companions: None
Muggles: None nearby
Weather: Cool autumn morning
Cache condition: Good

I determined the co-ords for this cache's GZ many years ago, but didn't have a chance then or since to actually find the cache, until today when I (a) needed to drop my mother-in-law off at the airport, and (b) didn't have my wife or any small children with me. I parked at the McParkingLot, and walked across, legally walking back to the intersection and then back to GZ. I looked at the likely object, but my phone was still showing a spot about 15m away, so I went there until deciding the L.O. was indeed more L., and with a better look was able to find the container. I dusted off the cobwebs, signed the log, then replaced the container, before taking a more direct route back to my car, purchasing some so-evil-but-so-good doughnuts enroute. TFTC

Final cache find whilst visiting Sydney. Thanks for giving us something constructive to do whilst waiting for our flight. TFTC

Found this cache with team work. At airport back to Perth familysteiner and I had some time to kill. A must cache. Tftc

Did a virtual visit to WP1 some months ago and had some time to kill today waiting for Tassie fire crews to land. Did the dash of death and arrived at what I'd recalled was predicted GZ but without a clue of what to look for. Fortunately it's high-contrast otherwise it would have been a long or fruitless search. As it was, it took a lucky glimpse from just the right angle. Of course the hint would have helped enormously but I'd come totally unprepared. Thanks muninjitsu.

Determined co-ords a few months ago while in the area farewelling my brother and nephew as they headed overseas for three years. Maybe I wasn’t in the best of moods then (already missing them like crazy) or this little bugger has suffered cache creep because it certainly wasn’t where I immediately found it today and exactly where I had been looking last time.

Definitely wasn't tempted to eat whilst grabbing the clues - not my sort of thing

Headed off on the short walk to make a quick find or back to arrivals to meet my Dad

Met up with a new Geocaching friend from WA, after grabbing a coffee it was time to grab the Cache, We worked out the Coords quite quickly, and then went on the hunt for the Cache. At GZ Kyzabra soon had the CIH.
We had fun Periscoping our adventures today, feel free to follow my Geocaching Adventures on the following sites.

Up in Sydney today for work, how could I NOT catch up with SeeMyShell ?

Having grabbed an earlier cache, we headed to this s eating establishment for a coffee and then I was flying back to Perth.

While we were there, it was mentioned there was a multi here. Some counting, done maths, and we decided to take our coffees as travellers.

Headed to GZ where I spotted the cache very quickly.

Have you logged your WILL ATTEND for WA GOES BIG in 2016 ?
I have and am looking forward to seeing as many of you in Pinjarra on the WA Day long weekend.
Log you will attend at GC5YAGP

muninjitsu - Kyzabra found your cache McCache on 3/02/2016, 5:39 PM. This is my find #4819 and find #4 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Not all that hard really so i had a coffee and logged on here my find

Was going to the nearby climbing gym (for my son) so popped out to get the cache. I had done a fair bit of research beforehand and had decided the most likely location. I confirmed/adjusted my data outside the scottish restaurant but never really understood what D was even after going there.

Played frogger with the traffic (appropriately this cache has FEAR in the GC code!) and soon after had the tiny cache. Signed at the very end of one side of the log. Then discovered that the magnet had fallen out during the signing so the cache wouldn't stay put! Hunted around and found the tiny thing so it is all good now.

Thanks for an interesting diversion. TFTC!

Did this one a few nights ago while waiting for a plane to come in. Got the numbers while dodging hoons who didn't really seem to be there for any aviation related reasons, bar revving and talking loudly.
Took the advice re traffic and wondered how long it would be before I was dragged off by the Feds due to the iphone light.
Got before I was bailed up...
TFTC

A great Multi cache. Found it while I was staying near the airport. The question on A and B had me scratching my head for a while. Thinking that I had already been hanging around the front for a while I decided to go in and give in to temptation. So I got my Aussie Burger , sat down facing the red structure and finally came up with the only numbers that I could think of. Fortunately the new coordinates matched the clue and off I went to GZ. Found the tiny cache after a few minutes, signed the log on was on my way with a smile. TFTC

Had a few hours at the airport waiting for a flight and this was the nearest. Resisted the temptation for fast food, but still sat down in the perfect place to work out the coords for the final, then it was a short stroll to GZ.
Thanks for the cache, muninjitsu !

Had a half hour to kill while waiting to pick up my big bro. Struggled with D. What exactly does the description mean ? Anyway we finally came up with some co-ords but were not very confident and ran out of time to walk the distance from Maccas.

Came and fixed up my previous dnf. Found out it is quite a bit easier once you get the right co-ordinates, rather than making an educated guess on a partial set

Still, I reckon I retain my throne as being the King of Stuffing Up Multis.

Found by GeoDad while killing time between flights. Nice one!

Not the most straight forward route from the domestic terminal with luggage but with five hours to fill in it didn't matter. We took a seat at WP1, worked out the co-ordinates and ended up at a nondescript kind of spot. Back to WP1 to check our maths....it helps to not overlook one digit when working out the co-ordinates! Once we redid it we were off to a more likely GZ and a quick find. A really enjoyable cache with a great hint that filled an otherwise boring void. TFTC muninjitsu.

Walking from the airport is precarious, especially with luggage, but not impossible. Solving the puzzle took me to what looked like a good hide spot. Didn't see anything there, and the clue didn't make sense in that location. I went to another spot that I saw, but if it is hidden there then I am simply not tall enough to get it.

Really wanted this one since it has by far the best reference code I've ever seen.

After two failed attempts in the rain, finally grabbed this with Bluewattle. Great clue & TFTC

Third time lucky with Snickersallan

Sigh! Not doing so well on my Australian multis. Failed on one in Cairns a couple of weeks ago, and this cache led to the same result. Fairly sure my observations were OK - although D gave me some problems; double checked the math; final location seemed to fit the hint (using my imagination, anyway). But no dice. Fortunately, this is a short layover and I can go back home to where i have success caching. That said, this was a good excuse to stretch my legs after a day of flying, so thanks for that.

Third time lucky! Searched at the wrong structure last two times!! Now did the calculations again and ended up in a different spot and found the cache straight away!
TFTC Wilbert67

Yes a coffee at Maccers and the the cache, mulled over calculation and then for the kill, this sure is a busy place. Headed to GZ and eventually were ecstatic and the little blitzed was found , signed and played back. TFTC

Came last night, and expected to have the brain power to work out the questions. Walked around in circles, and just couldn't come up with an answer for D. Had two plausible answers for B too. Anyway, being confident of C I was pretty sure of where the cache was going to be, but it was a large area. Explored for the few minutes I had left but came up empty.

After getting home and writing a plea to the CO, some inspiration hit as to the possible meaning of D - so next time I have to go to the airport I'll have another go.

#4813 @1245
With a couple of hours to fill in after arriving from Auckland and catching a flight to Canberra, I wandered off to get some lunch and a cache - a nice coincidence that I could 'kill two birds with one stone'. Actually the cache determined the lunch choice. I collected the info, and calculated GZ over lunch. Cache soon found, and my goal of finding a cache in more than one country in a single day achieved. TFTC.

Found McCache after having m'lunch and before I had m'coffee&donuts. The hint would have been a dead giveaway thus not needing to solve the puzzle, except that there are a bunch of them. Enjoyed solving puzzle anyway.

Loved McCache! Someone should make a Krispy Kache next door! Maybe I will!

After looking for ten minutes at the wrong spot. I looked up and saw something that resembled the hint. The geowife and I walked to it and with the right co ordinates I put my hand straight on it. What a great spot for a cache. TFTC.

Excellent cache that makes you think. After looking in the wrong spot for 10 minutes the hint made me recalculate the co-ords. Minutes later GeoHubby was tall enough to put his hand straight on it. TFTC

Early in the morning before my flight go to BKK I found this box.
For a non english speaker D is not to understand but I did the right thing.
Thanks.

Excellent, just what I needed to work the feet and the brain after a 4 hour flight and then with a 4 hour stopover to fill in. Good clues, and coords spot on. I had to search a while but it was right where it should be. Thanks, worth a fav.

TFTC. #391. I grabbed this one whilst on a day trip to QANTAS HQ. I must have got the calculation mixed up but was lucky enough to find the sucker on the way out thanks to the hint. It was difficult to open buts aged ok. The log only has a few spaces left. Thanks for putting a cache so close to the airport to allow me to get my NSW one finally.

After dropping friends of for the flight home, I called in here as I needed a coffee for the road trip south. Knowing this multi was here and it looked fairly easy so I thought I'd give it a go.
Numbers gathered and calculations done and the co-ords for GZ were punched into the GPS.
Soon after the cache was found and log signed.
Nice and quick multi.

TFTC muninjitsu
Find 4364 logged from c:geo.

Finding the clues was uncomplicated. GZ seemed almost a weird alternative reality, somewhere in the space between the real world and a video game. Thanks for the cache!

TFTC

After a quick stop for the #'s, I took the long walk there, and the short walk back.
Some free cable, anyone??
Found the container a bit difficult to open and close. Cross threaded? Waterproof?
Logging with a few racing TB in tow.
TFTH, munijitsu!

Quick find after a Big Mac. TFTC.

We visited the coordinates provided as we were preparing to depart overseas. We counted everything that needed to be counted to collect the required information. Today, after having returned and prior to our flight back to Cairns we ducked out from Terminal 3 and visited the calculated coordinates. After. Bit of traffic dodging we arrived at the GZ and with a stretch located the cache. Thanks for the puzzle and the hide. It was a fun find.

Hehee came by the Golden Arches yesterday with raindoctor to get the clues then back today to get the cache! must admit driving to park near gz was more tricky than the grab. Thanks to raindoctor's stretch I have myself a smiley. Thanks for a quick multi muninjitsu

Got it!

The adventure started yesterday when misspalot and I drove to the coordinates. We surprisingly worked out the coordinates for GZ without any trouble (a first for team special I think). We scoped out GZ from our vantage point but decided to make our assault another day - today! After driving in circles trying to find parking on a back street we finally made our way to GZ on foot. Nothing sus! Misspalot spotted the cache straight away - in the dark even - and then it was up to me to retrieve it. Driving home almost ended up in an airport terminal. Disaster avoided, thanks for a really neat cache! Really enjoyed it

My last cache in Australia. Took us longer to find the container than to find all the information before. TFTC !

together with Badi7. We decided to go for this one after bringing back the rental car. At first we doubt our solution, reculcalting same result. So read an old log and we gave it a try. At GZ couple of minutes a search before we had cache in hand.
TFTC

A great little multi. It took longer to cross the road than to work out GZ! TFTC.

1 hour layover from wellinton to perth - quick dash out to find this one for an NSW souvenir! TFTC

Quick cache-grab while in-transit from Wellington to Perth. Managed to solve the clues , find the cache and get back to the correct terminal in record time!

TFTC!
with Tan1aNZ

Gathered all the clues, and performed all the calculations, a few weeks ago but only got the chance to investigate GZ today. Unfortunately I unwisely choose the afternoon traffic peak to do the dash across the highway. I now know why the cache reference number ends in "FEAR".

Arrived unscathed at GZ and, after a bit of blind grasping in likely spots, soon came up with the tiny tiny cache container. Signed the tiny tiny log sheet then headed off for the return, not so tiny tiny "FEAR" road crossing. TFTC.

Mmmmmmmm Mc nificent heading to home base and stopped in for dinner. Checked and wow a Multi. Quick calcs and a very careful crossing. The cover of darkness assisted in the sprint to GZ however made searching challenging. Looked low and around.....and then read the clue..... Ahhh stretch... And located. Talk about micro........ TFTC.

Always have been a fan of multis, particularly simple but effective ones. Had a night at the airport and grabbed the info with the geo kids after dinner. After doing the sums I made a dash for it and the coords were spot on. Gets a fav from me. Tftc

Popped in the other day for a bite on the way home. Gathered the info and continued home.. Did the calculation but it didn't look right so rethought the questions and re- calculated. That looks better so popped back to gz and before you know in CIH. TFTC

Was waiting here drinking coffee and waiting for Chip846's flight to land. I answered a couple of the questions, will email the CO for some assistance on the final, and then hopefully make it to GZ next time I am here.

29/05/14. 7:31 AM. Cache #1576. I came to WP1 on 08/05 after finding Busby Where Are You (in Bronte). Got my clues, partook in an unhealthy breakfast, then did my calcs. My final location didn't look right, so checked in with the CO, who has since updated the calculations, which gave me a much more likely GZ. (My A, B, C & D were right, but in one case had a new value necessitating the correction).

Back today and parked in Baxter Rd to avoid the unhealthy breakfast this time. Walked to GZ and made an easy find, thanks to the hint. My log entry looked likely to smudge, so I've added a photo. I'm only the 12th finder in almost a year? Replaced cache and then made my way on foot to Ross Smith Ave to grab another cache, Waiting Games. TFTC }:)

Oh what to do when you have a delayed flight?
Go caching of course, got a bit frustrated with the numbers but logic prevailed in the end. Still missed it on the first look, but got it after a second circumnavigation.
Thanks for the diversion

I was at the airport last week picking up interstate visitors and, as many do, waited in the McDonald’s car park. I checked on nearby caches and noticed this one was close by. I decided to gather all the clues (which I could basically do sitting in the car) and pick up the cache when I returned today.

I thought I had the right numbers and also guessed the general area of GZ from the hint, but when I checked my calculated coordinates in Google Maps they did not look right so I sought the assistance of the CO who kindly put me right.

This morning, after dropping my visitors off, I returned to said car park and hopped across to GZ for a quick find.

Thanks muninjitsu for the help and the great multi.

Yebo, I understood the title only when I was close to GZ, ahaaaa, well did the numbers quickly (avoiding the stream of cars) and the rain started.
Hmmm , I dashed over to the cache thinking that little bit of rain won't stop me.
Just managed to sl and put it back when the rain was getting really heavy and I was soaked in seconds.
It was worth it, looking forward to a hot bath - tftc muninjitsu!!!

Some confusion here as the parking time limit might have changed, my GZ is a distance of 50m away.
Carpark was full, so double parked and gathered the info while still seated in vehicle. A car moves so dashed to grab his spot, parked and proceeded to my GZ. Hmmm, looked at hint and see something over there that matches.
Walked though a speedway, I feel, and had CIH as per hint.
Might need to tinker with the maths, TFTC

Grabbed the info and did the coords while having a coffee, but GZ was too far away as we had to go quickly to drop my brother off.
Will be back sometime to complete

Cache details updated to point to correct GZ>

Details updated in description for 'C'.

Was struggling with A and B and came up with some coords that were way of, however they pointed me in the right direction and based on the previous logs I knew where to start looking. With no exact coords I started a unsuccessful search.
Wilbert67

A nice quick multi. We avoided the "restaurant".

TFTC.

Catching up on some logs. I was in Sydney for my aunt's funeral and then it was off to Adelaide for the weekend. With plenty of time before the flight, I thought I'd come on over and see what I could do here. After playing in the traffic, I took a seat and tried to find some numbers. Eventually, I felt they were good enough and it was off to the GZ. I'm not sure what happened but I found the cache in a likely spot... though I had to adjust my East coords by -0.015 to make them work. Anyway, everything was fine within so TFTC and a very grabbable multi if you have an hour to spare around here.

waiting for a cacher arrival and this was a welcome break my calculated coords were a little bit off but I looked in the obvious spot and my height had it it sight quickly

I dropped the geowife at the airport early and needed a bit of breakfast, so stopped at this illustrious establishment. After collecting the required info I made the "dash to the cache" and made a quick find in a very interesting structure.
SL TFTC

Had my eye on this guy for a while as he popped up every time I went to the airport but finally took the time tonight to do the maths and streak across to gz. I was really impressed to find this multi at night AND I'm third to find!!!! Yay me. Tftc this one was a fun cache

An very interesting cache and thanks to muninjitsu for its creation. After parking in the car park and picking up a coffee so I didn't violate the parking rules, I collected the required info and did the calculations. That's an interesting spot and how do I get there from here. I chose the safest path there and was soon at GZ. As lonely Rooster suggested I have looked at this structure and thought ideal locale for a cache. I spied the nano as I approached and soon had a second to find. Thanks muninjitsu for your cache.

Published

At first, I misinterpreted the clues to mean "counting" vertically/horizontally instead of "running" that way and ended up a little off GZ. But sighting something that seems to match the clue and a quick recalculation put me spot on GZ.
I drive past here regularly and always thought some innovative person should place a cache there.
You did it, muninjitsu! TFTC (and the opportunity for another FTF)
