Keyring Circus - Revisited Freemans Reach, New South Wales, Australia
By ADAcache on 23-Aug-13. Waypoint GC4KNV2

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.

Bit shady down there so didn't spend long looking for it

Too risky with all those needles around and we had a kid with us.

Parked the car at the closest car park and walked across the field to GZ. No squatters spotted, but also no cache. We searched for a while in all possible places, but it refused to show up.

Found it

Be careful as I saw at least 3 squatter camps set up in the bush. I was alone so decided to turn back - way too dodgy.

No luck on this one and the guy living in the trees smells REALLY, REALLY bad!

As per other posts, tree has fallen and is overgrown there are also a few used needles around - had kids with us so stopped looking as it wasn't safe

The presence of hyperaemic needles in the tree suggests that this may need to be relocated.

there is a tree here that has been hit by lightning and is now overgrown. cannot find any itens on ir around thd tree

Very overgrown, bring gloves!

Not too hard, good fun finding it and some slugs at night

Yay yay

Good find !

Came back after having a DNF a couple years ago and found the cache the first place I looked. It was here a year ago as we had searched this spot. TFTCM

Stumbled upon a camp site? And didn't want to walk through it looking for the cache

#515 Not what I was expecting to find after finding another cache called Keyring Circus. It appears from the gallery that the cache container has been changed. Nearly over looked it. Thanks for the cache

A year or so later, It is found. I was looking for something more Keyring-Circus-related last time.

super scary at night

Found

Found it. Nice and out of the way.

Dound it !

Pretty easy. Careful of the used syringes taped to the close by.

I returned to this one today after a DNF a while ago which I must have forgotten to log. The area was very clean this time around. No sign of the dangerous litter which abounded last time we were here. The 'campers' mentioned in the June 19 log are still in residence. A quick find of the new container.

Found the little cache but no lunch box.

Found it forgot our pen

Late entry. Found on 12th July with MichV, Kellbells and Theriffman.

Out with JJCC today and we decided to tackle this cache again having not being able to locate it on previous visits. At GZ spotted a new mint tin (micro) with log inside, which we signed. Also noted that the cache container is now no longer the (small) sistema clip lock container originally hidden by CO. As per previous comments, beware of the black regular sized needle disposal containers lying around GZ.

In town today so thought we would try our luck with this cache as it has eluded us in the past. Parked car with a leisurely walk to the GZ. Quickly having CIH in a usual likely location. New cache container and log all in good order. Log signed and returned as found. Caching with Team Merlin. TFTC

TFTC, lovely area although I would say it is Extra small not small

Cheers

Thanks

At the moment I'm on a work and travel backpacking trip through the world. Most of the first two years I'll spend in Australia and I'm trying to solve my 365 days of caching challenge during this trip. The chance of having a moving home zone should be taken, as it will make the challenge so much easier.

Next to tent city with needles around. Definitely no good cache for kids, but found the box fast and easy, though.

TFTC and greetings from Germany

Nice area. Found on ground. Put in tree at gz.Tftc

Tftc, put it in gap of tree so no1 has to search thru the grass nd stuff where there could b needles. That black box is full of needles it is NOT the cache !

Not a good one people syringes stuck to tree. Black cache had needles and insulin in it. Not a good idea for kids.

Be cautious as there are a couple of muggles "camping there" and two guard dogs , questioning wether to inform authorities or not ,

Looked but no luck found hooks on trees

Grass too long, snake danger too high.

Grass was very high but a stomped my way in making a racket in case any legless reptiles were hanging about. I found a hook on a branch, but nothing else.

Found it before but came back with others and it wasn't in the same place and could not find

Didn't find it while in the area with the dog chasing down our 1000th cache. We spent way too long here GPS wouldn't give a GZ and the grass is very overgrown.

4 not found yukky spot

I know. The tree looks like the obvious spot doesn't it???? Removed insulin syringe from cache. NOT a good idea, regardless of what you use it for. Unless you keep sterile items in CLEAN place they are not sterile!!!!!! Left Aussie keychain. TFTC

A sad DNF for pjmpjm and myself. A long scrutiny of the area brought nothing to light.
Let's hope we were stricken by cache blindness.
Thanks for the location.

Unfortunately, this one proved to be a 'circus' of another kind for rogerw3 and me.

You can actually more or less drive to GZ, but we parked earlier that we should have, and walked 350 metres in the light rain and steadily cooling conditions.

Then we couldn't find anything at all at the approximate GZ that our GPSrs agreed on. The most likely hiding place was at or near large tree that had recently been hit by lightning and broken into several pieces. This was amazing in itself. There was a nice hollow in this tree, badly damaged though it was, but nothing was there.

Given that earlier finders thought this cache was 'easy' . . . rogerw3 decided after half an hour that this one was indeed gone. (Later we talked to an earlier finder and the cache definitely isn't -- now -- where it was hiding a month or two ago.)

The only other possibility is 'cache creep' of some kind.

So there you go . . . maybe the CO can have a check and let us know what he thinks.

An easy find. It was out in the open! I moved it about 2m West so it was slightly camoed

Frost everywhere but still a quick find. Tftc tnln

An easy find after a quite stroll across the field. TFTC!

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

Easy quick and easy find today. TFTC.

Had some time to kill before meeting friends so decided to add this one to the days tally. An easy walk and with no one around soon had the cache in hand. TFTC.

Didn't have a key ring left a pink chook.

enjoyed the stroll across the park, tftc

Nice walk after lunch

Found this one and left a local business key ring.

Nice easy find, TFTC

Fun cache

A quick find while stretching the legs.

This one seems to push the boundaries with respect to the rules and luckily I spotted it before it was crushed by Mr MR. SL TFTC

We were returning to the car after finding “Argyle Reach” and noticed that this one was quite close so we decided to extend our walk a little.

The cache was not in the obvious place but was close by. In fact, I was virtually standing on it when YGAT made the grab.

Thanks again ADAcache.

A Guy and a Girl - Six Day Road Trip - 2,280 kilometers - 30 Caches - CMC Rocks The Hunter

This trip had been in the wings once we found out that Toby Keith was playing at CMC Rocks The Hunter at Hope Estate near Cessnock, tickets and camping spot booked months in advance. We traveled up on Wednesday morning leaving Melbourne to Corowa, Walbundrie and Culcairn before stopping at Goulburn for the night. Thursday we went via Putty Rd from Windsor up to Cessnock. Three days we spent listening to some fantastic country music. Monday morning we packed up the camp site and headed down the Hume back to Melbourne.

After finding the nearby cache we decided to walk up to this one, we read the last DNF logs, and not ones to be put off started the search, within minutes Katy triumphantly called out "Found It". High fives were handed out and we signed the log and walked back to the GeoRanger, Katy with an extra spring in her step!! We grabbed the GeoCoin.

Thanks for the cache ADAcache!!!

Found today will log when we get back to Melbourne, no maintenance required all intact.

Maybe still missing?
Agree with previous note

I think this one is gone, had 4 cachers look for 10 minutes and nothing
Cheers

Easy find for geoson. Great day at the beach with the kids. Thanks.

That was an good hide took the $50 key ring and left a bottle opener

Out with The Martin Cousins, GeoJack made the find, tftc sl

Walked from Argyle Reach for GeoJack again made the easy find with the SA cousins.

Thanks

Beautifull park nice spot away from muggles tftf (:

Enjoyed walk along to the GZ, search for a while - until spotted it - good hide and camo as well. No swap. Signed the log with sevabo. Thanks ADAcache.

nice quiet park, over 400 mtr return stroll. found it with Everlasting. thanks for bringing us here ☆☆

new container is in place with better cover. Let's hope the local yahoos don't find it again

I was waiting at home for my nephew to arrive so I could take him and my geodogs to the river for a swim. While waiting I looked for a nearby cache and saw this one was reactivated. Nephew didn't want to swim but I told him bad luck we are going to the river. Walked around GZ and saw something just not quite right sure enough I found the cache. SL #1154 on streak day #534 TFTC TNLN

i will get out soon witha new container

New cache is needed

Looks like this one is a goner. I PAF to confirm GZ which I had, and on closer inspection I found remnants of a keyring and the metal spiral of a notepad (log book I suspect). Looks like someone needed some fuel for their little fire.

A longer stroll was a chance to stretch our legs. The walk ended with an easy find.

TFTC.

#2152- Being my worst month of the year with seven days left to fill on the caching calendar, I was determined to continue completing it and making the list shorter.
The first of six, mostly from this CO for a quick run tonight. The school holidays was surprisingly dry of caching due to my spring cleaning blitz, so it was nice to get out and spend a bit of time hacking with my youngest, NickoHeap, who now at 13 , keeps reminding me he is taller than I.
As we pulled up, he said he'd been there before and done the cache with dad. He held back and let me find it, but if I couldn't there would have been something wrong. This was very obvious, barely covered at all. We also had to explain what caching was to an old guy who had followed our route while walking his dog and was certainly giving us weird looks. He thought it sounded pretty weird , but told us to have fun anyway. A pleasant walk not far from another spot we'd found a cache a few years ago.

After some early morning CBD caches it was time for a nice stroll across the wet grass as the fog lifted on the river flats.
The cache was quickly located and duties completed.

TFTC
Find 4025 logged from c:geo.

We were heading out to Ebenezer and decided to stop and get this one on the way. It was a beautiful day for a quick walk. Coordinates were good, cache was located quickly. TNLN Thanks!

Loved the camo paint job A simple find after a windy and cool walk to GZ. Thanks.

dropped in for a check and to drop off some new keyrings

After going to a meeting decided this be attempted on the way home.
The Geo sat Gods were helpful today.
Thanks Acko

Cache #3333!

When we got to this location it looked like some guys were about to set up a circus in the field. When we got closer we realised that what they were setting up was a boot camp to keep some unlucky souls occupied for the weekend. We walked past them and managed to find the cache easily on the other side. Thanks ADAcache.

Found with dad and toriaz
