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.

no response to maintenance log in 2 months
last finder found it 75 meters from listed co ords and moved it else where
string of dnfs
Current Slump 206 consecutive days without a find since 7.10.2017
with no cache at listed co ords and no updated co ords listing needs to go

Needs co check. No finds in over a year and co ords 75 metres out

Dnf today. If it's 75 metres away needs co co ords update or place back at listed co ords

I searched the area the cache should be with no result. Seriously if people find it 75 metres away why not put it back where it should be. CO needs to check.

Looked around GZ for quite awhile, but couldn't spot the cache [B)]. Read some logs, which were a bit confusing, but walked upstream to find we were on the wrong side of a barrier - Whoops!
Had a look around the logs, then slightly further away (indicated by the previous finder), but still no luck .
Maybe the CO needs to look at this one and confirm it's still there, updating the coords if neccessary .
Thanks for getting us to stop here Buckstone.

Had no luck looking for this when we walked here. Searched everywhere but nothing seen. There had been major erosion at the fallen trees area (the track is actually closed there) and we wondered if the cache had actually been washed away. We gave up and continued on our walk.
As we were returning a couple of hours later, we were about 75m upstream of GZ when we seen a container just sitting on the ground slightly off the track. Sure enough, the soggy mass inside the container was geocaching notebooks. We put it back just behind one of the fallen trees (just before (upstream) the badly eroded bit.

Found it closer to water than my coordinates howed. Very wet. Need someone to bring new pen and a cloth to dry

Found it after a day shopping. TFTC TNLN log saturated. Tried to sign but hopeless.

Found it! Container not waterproof, so unfortunately couldn't physically sign the book :S Lovely setting 16 July 2016 2:58 PM

Quick find on our travels around the area with Mattycat, after some heavy showers the creek was running quite well we took a new log book and plastic bag after reading previous logs TFTC buckstone

Nice little walk by a very fast flowing creek.
Found on an over the hills run with Mr Froghoppin for some escape from the Adelaide rains.
Good fun, successful caching day.
TFTC buckstone

Very wet book. Needs changing.

The logbook certainly needs replacing as soon as possible, Please see our Found log for details.

The first tasks we had as we approached GZ was to find a park and to find how to access the area. This took a few minutes as there were not many options. Then it was off along the track to GZ where a very quick find was made because the cache was out in the open. Whilst the cache container was in good condition, the logbook was very soggy and starting to go mouldy. Some maintenance is certainly required on this cache. We were still able to record our names in the book. We rehid the cache at the same location bt consistent with the hint. Thanks buckstone for the cache,

A nice evening to do some caching with Loulabelle994.
What a beautiful area and a lovely stroll on the walking track to the cache. Found with ease. TFTC buckstone.

Located nice and close to home along our dog's favourite walking trail.

Inside of container and contents quite damp. Turned upside down for a while to drain it all before placing back. TFTC. 22/11/2015, 14:11 Find #1133

While collecting some caches in the area while waiting for my grandmother to be finished at the nearby Stirling hospital, I found this awesome little park. Will definitely be bringing the family back here for a picnic when the weather drys up a bit

TFTC

A ladymuggle walking her dog pointed us in the right direction, found near the fence near the road, placed in a suitable looking location near the coordinates tftc

assisted by a lovely lady muggle as it was moved from it's previous location, hope we put back in the right spot! thanks (:

Is it still here?

This was our second find. Just started geo ing today. 2 for 2 so far. .

Lovely little location beautiful walk

TFTC container not water proof

Gorgeous spot!

Found in the dark and cold this night, stumbled along the path to GZ and had a look for the cache, after a bit of searching I managed to find it, coords were a bit off but nothing too serious. I'd love to see this creek in the daytime, it looked great by what my little head torch could illuminate. TFTC!

Found It!
Nice little place I've never been to before!
Coords are a bit out but the hint gets you to the right spot.

Beautiful valley creek. Did not know about this path...thanks for bringing us here. TFTC

Tftc nice spot!

Nice easy find for the kids TFTC

A lovely spot, loved the rocks. Such a great spot to bring people to.... Thanks buckstone.

Met a couple of no so muggles here. I let the younger enthusiast find the cache. He was thrilled. Top spot I'd never seen before.

Clear skies to buckstone from TeamAstro.

Certainly no parking on the Valley road, but of course there is a better park!! TFTC

I didn't have a lot of time to continue the walk but I'll be back. TFTC buckstone

I realised that I missed the fork. I made a turn and found the right road. It was just a pleasant walk to the cache. A quick find, due to the hint. Nice Valley.

Thanks buckstone for the cache

Cache found with ockylulumum on our annual Christmas visit to the Hills.

Nice to see new caches springing up each year to keep us busy on our visits.

Thanks buckstone for taking us to a little known park .

Nice easy find. I will have to come back and explore this litte spot some more. Thanks

Great spot.

Beautiful spot and great walk with the granchildren thanks for bringing us here.

Did this one quickly at night with my 12 year old sister to show her what its like, first find for her and golly she found it quick , lovely area been living in Aldgate for near 21 years but have never been here before will definitely revisit. Signed the log found the container quite wet inside but the log was dry inside the ziplock TFTC

a nice area
tftc

beautiful walk!!!

With work bringing us to the area we turned up 1 hour early, what better way to pass the time but to cache some local caches,this was the last one before heading back to the job, a nice way to finish the hour wait with a short stroll along the creeks edge with the water flowing nicely, a bit of condensation on the lid but i dried it the best i could. TFTC

What a great spot! Really enjoyed the short walk to get htis one and will return when the weather gets warmer with our bikes. Thanks so much for showing us this spot. TNLN. Cheers.

After watching the daughter win her Netball Grand Final for Ironbank at Piccadilly, it was time to grab the caches around the area.

Nice walk with no muggles to be seen - quick find and sign. TFTC.

Kids first geocache! Fantastic!

A very nice little reserve with a creek with water running through it. My second drive along the Aldgate Valley road in a four days. Thanks buckstone.

A beautiful little valley, I cycle along the Valley road regularly but did not know this reserve was here. The stream was burbling along happily and the sun was shining this morning as I cycled down to the reserve. Cache took a little locating, and was a bit damp and a bit obvious when I did spot it - doh! I have tucked it away further back in a more vertical position to try and keep it a bit drier. Tipped out water from cache too. Great place for a picnic and one of the nicest caches I have found near to home Favourite from me - more please Buckstone!

found during scout camp

Well that was a cold find

Well that was a cold find

Very windy road up from mylor.... Nice walk next to the babbling brook. Took me way longer than it should have done.... Took TB TFTC. day 8/31 days in august caching quest

Found it!
Pretty spot for a walk,
and a good spot for a cache!
Well done, TFTC

Was in the Bridgewater area and this was the last on my caching list.
Had never been down here before, so was a magical mystery tour.
After I hd figured out which log was which, I soon found the hidey hole.
Did a TB swap and was soon traipsing back to the car before the school rush started.
Was more like a stream today with the wild and woolly weather we've had, great spot buckstone.

Found after work on the way home,
Nice spot, TFTC
Made a TB swap...

Stopped by here after school dropoff.
Nice walk in the rain, for an easy find.
TNLNSL
Thanks
May need to mention to finders NOT to stop at the closest point to the cache, as there is no where safe to do so!

Found it eventually in the drizzle. great place for a cache. Dropped off a tb that I just brought back from thailand. Thx buckstone for the hide.

Early morning find between school drop off and work SL Thanks

This is a *great* location to visit in winter! Enjoyed the short walk along the creek-line. Thanks for the cache buckstone!

Lovely stroll in beautiful location. The creek was ripping along this afternoon.
-------------------------------------------------------------
This cache was found using a Garmin Montana 650t. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

Wow...what a lovely setting for a short walk and cache. Took a little longer than I expected and I managed to find every blackberry cane secreted in the bracken. . But when I ventured off the track a little something plastic caught my eye and the cache was mine. Thanks for bringing me here buckstone. Took the trackables to move on.

Mr Tardis and Mini Tardis came here today to find a cache. And what a lovely place it is too. Mr Tardis has lived in the hills for 20 years but never visited this reserve.

The Aldgate creek was flowing quite fast after all the recent rains. There was a koala braving the cold weather up a tree near the entrance, and quite a few frogs singing in delight after all the rain. A quick find for us thanks to the helpful hint.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache buckstone.

A lovely peaceful spot [^]
Not sure if I'm silver or tin!

Cheers

Dr Owl & Sister Raven and with a little help with Jedika managed to get a FTF on this one a very nice place to put a Cache.
good job Buckstone!

Your cache was found as part of Sister Raven’s Australian Scout Geocaching Competition entry.

Yay my first FTF. We went here first on a caching day with Sister Raven and Doctor Owl so we had a shared FTF.

Owl had promised Jedika98 a caching day in the holidays and decided that an unfound cache was the place to start, even if a FTF was unlikely after such a long time since publication. Finding a park and then a way in was a challenge, but they were rewarded with a lovely (if damp) walk along a pleasant stream. The water made the GPS unhappy, but they eventually divined a location using the clue and were delighted with an empty log book. Have a favouirte point for the discovery of such a nice area. Shared FTF at 11.03am for Sister Raven, Jedika98 & Doctor Owl.
