Unfortunately I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore as advised previously, the cache is being de-listed (Archived) to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

The [**Geocache Maintenance guideline**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains what needs to happen with a Disable cache.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article [**here**](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

Fleeing the crowds at the Pinnacle we descended through the shade and filtered sunlight en route to Hall's Gap, enjoying the views on the way.
A chance to walk without hearing everyone else think.

Nicely placed at a great view point. Dropped off a TB.

Thanks and cheers!

Our second cache for the day, on the way down after scaling The Pinnacle. Found with the boys on our second day here together. Relaxing Walk my eye!

GPS compass was encouraging me to go over the cliff edge but it turned out much easier and not particularly hidden - should be an easy spot for the practiced eye.

Great view from here. We spent quite a while here faffing around with the cache, eating a snack and admiring the view. Signed and returned with nobody coming past. Glad we are on our way down. Cheers!

The big thing for today was the pinnacle walk from Wonderland carpark, then back to Hall Gap and finally to the car park - pretty streneous walk, but luckily we started very early so the main incline was done before the sun really got hot. At the top we had a picnic and spent quite some time, admiring the view and the rock formation. A great walk! Only towards noon the sun was killing us - despite mainly going downhill... Nevertheless, it was worth it.

At the moment Pfote and me are on a work and travel backpacking trip through the world. After I've spent a full year in Australia Pfote joined me for my second year down here. We will definitely try to collect a lot of boxes and all the special things in every state all around and through the middle. 

Our current part of the journey is a roadtrip form Melbourne via the great ocean road to Kangaroo Island and back to Melbourne. Of course, some catching stops are necessary!
This was one of the caches, we've found on the way.

TFTC and greetings from Germany.

During our holidays spent in Australia we decided to look for some caches during our short road trip from Melbourne via Great Ocean Road to Grampians and back again Smile We found this one quickly but we had no time to enjoy wonderful views as the night was coming Smile Amazing cockatoo was watching us during the logging. Greetings from Czech Republic. TFTC!

Hope you like steps. View is worth it though!

Well we did find this one today after giving up yesterday as we could not walk any further. Not sure why it is called a relaxing stroll. But geodad was determined to get it. Today we all walked to the Pinnacle and half way up there it was. Great spot for a cache and great views, but far from a relaxing stroll or maybe it depends how old you are ????

Staying at the Halls Gap C.P, Out caching with 2peasinapod2012, gave this a second go after call it quits
the day before, not what i would call a relaxing stroll, but it was a quick find.
so after signing the log and looking at the great view, from here we headed to the Pinnacle,
last bit not easy, from there to wonderland carpark, then to Halls Gap c.p, some 6 hours later.
If Geo-Wife and I knew what we were infor we would have turned back at the cache.
But at least we can say we done the Loop.
Thanks billywillydilly

Together with Silli1310 went on vacation for a year. After we had visited South America for a quarter of a year, explored New Zealand in detail, it should of course also go to Australia. Since ElMapa also wanted to go there, we met in Melbourne and explored Tasmania on a road trip together. Afterwards we went for a week to the Great Ocean Road and the Grampiens, which reminded us a bit of our home country. After the last few days of driving a lot, today was finally a hike on the program. After visiting the Pinnacle, we passed this cache. Short search by three and we were already in the logbook. Thanks for the cache.
 
26-Feb-15
On our [trip around the world](http://www.hoppundweg.piekar.de/) we came to Australia as well. We started in Tasmania, rented a campervan in Melbourne and went up the Eastcoast to Cairns. Then we drove all the way to the Red Centre. We finished in Darwin. We searched many caches and found almost every cache we searched for Wink. Thanks to all the owners of these caches. Now, 2 years later, we recognized, we will never be able to log every cache seperately... So: Sorry for this standard logtext and thanks for one of the caches, which accompanied us on our journey.

We had a fantastic walk up the pinnacle and were nearly back to our caravan park. So a welcome break with this cache.

What a wonderful nature and amazing view on the top. We are happy we were here.

Unfortunately this was our last cache on our trip in Great Australia. We will be back!!

Thanks and greetings from Freiburg, Germany

Thought I'd better log this one. Normally I am with my son (spuddymoore) and he logs them. This time he was at home, I was on a bushwalk with my high school kids, no gps this us, and just after our well earned break I was picking up my pack and what did I find? A great time to explain to my students what geocaching was all about! A great view from here. Cheers.

3 mums and 8 kids (7 years and under) decided to tackle this walk. Not such a relaxing stroll with all the kids but it was fun. We only made it as far as this point so they were very excited to find a cache here!

Lol@ leisurely stroll

Went to pinnacle this morning so came back other end to do this. Beautiful walk on dusk. Cache was exposed out in open however all intact. Chalk inside seems to be put to good use by the muggles see pic Smile thanks for the cache- fave point!
 
04-Sep-14
The CO must have a different vision of what a relaxing stroll is Smile. We were in the area...looked at the title...decided to find the easy one first and started on the hike. Probably should have turned back at the 100th stair but we climbed on and at the 1000th we were already committed and continued climbing on and on. Finally we arrived at the cache site and after dancing around the garbage we found the cache. Great views from the cache site and from the trail...got some good muscle fever out of the climb for the next days...TFTC
 
Thankyou sylken. Maintenance by finders is very much appreciated. I wish there were more like you.

Geohubby and I are staying in Halls Gap for a few weeks and doing some hiking and caching while enjoying the natural environment.

Today was the brightest, sunniest day we have experienced since arriving here four and a half weeks ago so the wonderland loop seemed like a great choice for todays exercise.

The cache and log book were extremely wet so we dried out the cache as best we could and added a new log book in a ziplock bag.

Fantastic views up here. Very many thanks for bringing us to this spot billywillysillydilly [^][^][^]
 
Great spot for a cache! Smile

Found this on our way up the Hill. Appeared the local wildlife (muggles?) had got to it. The pad was away from the box and a bit wet. The box was just lying in the open. Put it all back together and made sure it not visable from path. S cords now .697 and E cords now .757 so only very slight move. Hope that ok.

On my way down from visiting the Pinnacle with some friends, I decided to stop and find a cache. Fortunately my friends were curious about geocaching and wanted to help me search. We found it quickly and even snapped a quick photo to celebrate my friends' first geocache.
TFTC on a beautiful day with a great view.

Still looking for the relaxing part of the stroll but got there in the finish. Just as we arrived at GZ the batteries in our gps died. So we had to rely on caching instinct. We haven't come this far not to log relaxing stroll. Think the terrain level could be a little higher. TFTC
 
03-Jan-14
Not far on the gps but steep walk up, just pleased it wasn't a hot day. Beautiful walk up and grand view from gz. TFTC

Found on the way to the Pinacle. Nice excuse to stop for a breather and enjoy the view!
