It has gone again, and even more mugly archiving

disabling for maintenance

Come on people !!! please check on this cache and let us all know whats going on, been way too long.

Searched area, both levels and all fences. Eagle eye'd kids and myself could not find at all. By previous logs sounds like it may be AWOL.

Searched again for this cache, really needs to be checked on by CO.

I think this cache needs to be checked out by CO, searched for approx 60 mins with no luck at all.

Found this one a couple of months ago. Went to 'refind' with my son the other day and it had gone. Looks like there had been some work done in the area.

Not Found. Looked for this with PapaGrouch and WeRAmused but just couldn't find it. We will have to try again another day.

Checked 3 levels couldn't find it

No cache for me! Streams of cars going past and a dog who was eager to get back on the trail meant that I didn't have a great look for this. I'm sure I'll be back.

Grabbed this one after picking the GeoBoy and his Pepe up from the movies. last time we came past we approached from the wrong angle. This time it was a nice an easy grab. Thanks

Last one with failing battery will come back

Tricky find.

Found while out with a crew had a moment with security we had got it and.when he left replaced it TFTC

Caching day to ride the bike on trail and beautiful weather not hot weather.
Accompany with rosejj
Go back there as it's my 3rd attempt.... with little helper
Now I no more worry about it.
Found it after this went to Subway to have our lunch.
Thanks K Wolf

Once at GZ i had to do a few laps pretending to talk on my phone to avoid too much suspension from passing muggles and of course the security cameras all while searching, but eventually found it. TFTC SL

Today Went to shopping quickly after my long holiday.
Oh again still the same
Cant find where is..
hope someone will help me.

Today we completed this cache while doing the Hallam Bypass trail series.

A good hide and accurate co ordinates made a quick find. TFTC.

Found it after a long search tftc

Upstairs, downstairs, PAF, upstairs, PAF< downstairs, phew this was getting tiring. Eventually PAF again and found one of the "old school" who had found it resently. After that info we did find the cunning hide. This was certainly an exercise in "uncertainty". After quite a few u-turns this eveningh we were able to get in a position to log this cache.
TFTC K_wolf.

No luck here tonight

TFTC. We checked out 3 different levels before finding it.

*** Sorry for the delay in logging, I have been computerless ***

So I had a call from TeamThommo about a series that she was wanting to do from Hallam to Berwick... Something about 20 caches in a day to gain a badge or some such thing... The date was set (a daycare day for my toddlers, they would have made the day much MUCH longer than it needed to be). The night before I spoke to TeamThommo to work out or plan of attack
The day arrived, I dropped the toddlers at daycare, the hubby at the shops and I met TeamThommo and her band of merry children at the discussed co-ords. Here I left my car and took off to the other end in her car.

Near the beginning of the trail we were passed by a keen bike rider who doubled back to say G'day later... Mr KMPS, so lovely to have met you :)

HIGH MUGGLE AREA... I'll know what others are doing when I see them here now... I LOVE GEOCACHING

Thanks PinkPiggy for all the time and effort you put into this and all the other hides along this trail :)

We had a crummy day today we made the decision to put our family dog to sleep as her quality of life wasn't the best anymore. This meant we didn't end up going to the beach as planned so I needed to find a daily cache. This one was my closest unfound cache and I had an inkling I knew where it was. I don't like fountain gate at the best of times so I made this a quick visit just for the cache. I found it after a short search Thanks Mr wolf for yet another tricky hide/ This is the last FG hide I need to find. TFTC SL TNLN TBV

After doing the cache - Caching By The Dozen, most teams meet up for a great Chinese meal.
Is there a better way to end the day?

Yes, we went caching afterwards.

As this is a high muggle area, it was a good time of night to attempt it.
Had to PAF to get the right level. Once there, the cache was found quickly.
Many thanks for placing this cache, K_Wolf, for us and others to find.

Quick find by us.
With Ranger Dave

Tftc. I won a MacDonald ice cream cone as I guessed the level correctly. With deutz4544

There are two levels where it could be but only one of them let's you get close enough to touch the structure.

We ended up going up and down quite a bit before we found it. I wonder what the people at the shopping centre were thinking.

Tftc out on a hunt around narre warren.

With Everlastings and rosejj
been searched everywhere but no idea if which level.
Give us a hard time.
Thanks. K Wolf

hard to find it with night shoppers

No luck for me as which level?? so DNF for me. Thanks.

started off today to finish the Hallam Bypass caches and others in the area,

Now I'm at fountain gate doing the circle of caches around here,

I was on the wrong level at first, but I got it ,tricky my GPS stopped at 10m silly concrete, but there was only one real spot to check, well two but people didn't like that one,

thanks K Wolf [:x]

Found you, you sneaky little thing. Mwa ha ha.

I thought this had been re-enabled some time ago ... none the less it's good to go now (all-be-it in a different position than before).

We found this cache today at 5:30pm as number 3 of 6 on a winding tour home from Fountain Gate. Last time I came past here it was offline. This time, we had to outwait the Myer staff leaving for the night. Once there was a break in traffic, we grabbed to log and then had to wait another 10 minutes to return it. By the way, it is still showing as being offline. Thanks from D, H & A B-A

Time for a geocaching run this morning, I'm having withdrawal symptoms from not getting more than 3 in a day for yonks, I feel better now after 22 straight finds.
Out and about early this Sunday morning to beat the muggles in this busy area.
I've seen the sign! I came, I saw, I found, but watch out for the security camera.
Thanks for placing this cache K_Wolf

As requested

Cache was moved/replaced and reviewer asked to enable this cache.
Just waiting for that to happen, but anyone should be able to find it in the meantime.

One or more of the following has occurred:

Cache Owner unable to maintain cache
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.
Cache has been abandoned by cache owner

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to also prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

As per below, cache needs to be moved to a different location.
Please do not visit until it has been re-enabled.

Came back after seeing the cache had been replaced and found it at the first spot I looked! Noticed the electric wires also, but they weren't a worry since the ends of them were taped off and I'm quite sure they're not live since the removal of the light post that used to be there. The first find of my lone after work geocaching session, TFTC!

Found it but didnt sign log as being unwilling to extract cache as it was touching electrical cables.

Found cache easy, attached to electrical cables and protective box has being lifted and made dangerous

see previous log, this is a hazard

Cache had been replaced, looks like some work allowed for a slightly different spot.

Clearing maintenance flag.

When looking in the right spot (on the right level), this should not be too hard to find, so will try to get out to replace this in the new future.

Looked for this one, but did not find, contacted Me Coffee help line who confirmed we were looking in the correct spot, it appears that this one has gone

5th time here, still unable to find. Co may need to check based on previous DNF's

Have made several visit with no luck in finding.

Have made a couple of visits with no luck

I was about 20 meters too low, to start with.
But after a little drive, i soon found it.

I was hoping to find a cache to put a TB into,
But this is way to small for anything but the log.

NOTE the log book is almost full, maybe another 5 logs.

TFTC K_Wolf

First one we've tried and found it. Over the moon. TFTC

Found it. First cache since joining. TFTC.

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Easy find if you're on the right level

Bec and steve

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

I'm really struggling with this one. My GPS takes me to the big sign, but I've been here on site for five searches and no avail. People keep saying in the logs there are three parking levels, but at the sign there are only two right? Also someone said they parked 3 meters away and that doesn't seem possible given my gps coordinates. I'm in struggle town.

Scratch that last log. Found it. I feel like a duffer. Now I'm late for work!! Bec & Steve

Foiled for today - but I'll be back to find it!

Went for dinner with some friends and decided to have a look for a cache or 2 on my way home. Found it easy once on the right side of the sign. Found it and then realised I didn't have a pen on me to sign the log. My first solo cache find. TFTC

Took longer than it should have - parked on the right level but couldn't find, so tried the other 2 levels before coming back to where we started and found straight away!! TFTC

Quick find once we got the vertical aspect of our hunt sorted out. Thanks.

With matt_geo tried one level without success, then the question was up or down. Made the right decision, but then wondered where it could possibly be - surely not there, but it was! TFTC

Nice hide tftc

Kistda, good find!!! Thanks..

Kistda, good find!!! Thanks..

With the weather looking a little dodgy I thought I'd go out anyway and although it tried to rain most of the morning, I managed to get 3 hours in before the rain came down.
Reading a couple of logs on the way here helped out a lot and on arrival managed to park quite close and made the find nice and fast thanks to guessing the correct level to be on. It is a very big sign, I wouldn't want to be the one cleaning it.
Thanks for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

Find the right level and it's an easy find

A good cache to find at night as the light from the sign helped. Easy find once at GZ.

Easy find.

Found it in about five seconds by pure luck, but took awhile to get it out! TFTGC

Found this one with crig. TFTC K Wolf

Fairly quick and muggle free find today despite the christmas shopping crowds. Hardest part was making the right approach. Tftc

Lots of muggles made it awkward but it was a goodie. Learnt what a bison tube was !!!

Found this one tonight. I walked up where the cache was and located it immediately - it then took ages for me to extract it from its hiding place. I seemed to be all fingers today but eventually it was out and the log signed. I then returned it to its hide and took advantage of the fact that Coles is open until midnight nearby to grab some more batteries for my gps - I only had 1 set with me and they ran out before this cache.

Thanks for the cache K_Wolf.

Having run out of time to get this one the last time that I was here I made sure I went straight to it this time. It was on the way to the evening event so all was quiet for a quick find, and yes, that is a big sign, thanks K_Wolf.

found it with kayster1964 was very lucky to park the car next to it

Found it with gwenny44

TFTC

Quick easy find! Found with scotth17 thanks!

After my success with Kath, a quick drive to the bigger signs was a no brainer. Another desreted car park had GZ located and parked within 3 meters of GZ. Very quickly found in the first place I looked. Needed a tool [ leatherman ] to remove the cache.
TFTC.

Lucky we managed to be here at a time with hardly any muffles around! TFTC!

Found this one while hubby was loading our shopping in the car. Used my pen as a tool because my fingers couldn't do the job, suffice to say, my pen broke which made the log hard to sign.
Thanks for the cache

Found with skooby71. Didn't realise there were 3 levels of parking...

Wow that sign is huge. We were glad the cache wasn't hidden on it. Found while out with the family. TFTC K_Wolf

Yes need nimble fingers. SL

Yep, tried the two other levels first. When at the correct level we found it in 30 seconds & one minute later & with the help of a straw we had it in our hands. Great arvo out with Tony66 TFTC SL

Found @ 9:42pm, find # 2490.
Out on a short night run with Biggles1024.
Our main target was Park Here At Night 1.5, but when we arrived there, there were a group of muggles in the playground so we headed off to find some unfounds in the area, this was one for me.
We arrived at GZ and had the carpark to ourselves, we jumped out and started to look around, we were wondering if we were on the right level but figured that we couldn't get much closer so looked a bit more, a short time later the cache was found, I just needed a tool to retrieve it a bit easier, which I gabbed from the car.
Thanks to K_Wolf for placing this this cache.

Find #510
I receive a text from Stemicmitsar, "Do I want to go caching tonight?" Too right I do!
We were on to this one fairly quickly but it was Steve who made the find. I'd looked in the right place, but didn't look hard enough. A classic Wolfy hide. SL TFTC

Yay after checking every other level finally got it

Nice hide. Easy fund once you get the right level!!

I headed out today with my youngest boy Cooper and we had a great few hours of caching and playing in playgrounds. For some reason I always seem to find these caches in the last place I look. We started on one level, moved to the right level without realising it as we made our way to a different level only to work out we had just been on the level the cache had to be.
We finally made it to the right spot and parked right next to GZ. Cooper made the extraction as his little hands made it a lot easier. Thanks for the hide.

Realizing this one had many options for parking I read the logs before tackling it so I quickly found the right elevation. Once at GZ I happened upon the right spot quickly and like others had more trouble extracting it from its interesting hiding hole. After that it was a quick sign of the log and onto my meeting.
Thanks
