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 https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56

Unarchive a geocache
Archiving a geocache is meant to be a permanent action. Only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ can unarchive caches. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if the cache meets the current geocaching guidelines.

If a cache 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.

Yes a nice view, but logging DNF as no cache was found.

Out ‘n about with m4yb getting a few caches.
As with her, a pano of the area is not a cache found.

The CO has very limited finds and activity. This looks like a “holiday” cache so maybe it should go.

This cache is gone, but I hope a nice panorama with the view from here is enough to proof we’ve been there. Nice view!

On our holiday were driving with along the west coast with an RV, visiting many beautiful places. Whenever weve got time, we are also looking for some caches.

Greetings from Germany say the Gorgons.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

The dunes have moved and so has the cache. It could be anywhere, buried and impossible to find. Needs CO intervention.

No cache here and considering how rapidly the dunes change and the time past since the last found, this one is long gone. Still a stunning spot... take a sand board or even a large cardboard box to really enjoy

Awesome views, searched with Pood, and believe the cache is no longer there, CO contacted

Awesome views after climbing such huge sand dunes.
We searched and searched the birdsnests area at GZ without any luck. We have messaged CO and will log the GZ as found but there appears to be no cache at GZ with the possibilities from the high winds and shifting sands of the local area.
Thanks for the cache.

Didn’t find this one

Spent time looking around but did not find
It, but still worth the look

So we spent a bit of time searching for this one, but due to the risk of damaging the dunes we called it quits. Were actually 0 meters from GZ.... may have been covered by moving sands.

But a great excuse to come visit this beautiful part of the country.

Quadrunna... Out

Apologies for the late log. I did a road trip (from Melbourne) around WA and of course picked up a few caches along the way. Only now am I getting up to date on my logs. We spent two nights in Coral Bay which is a really beautiful part of the world. We did a great snorkelling trip in the morning and as the family rested in the afternoon I headed out to find a few caches. I'm a pretty novice 4WD driver so I parked up near the water storage tank and walked from there. Probably could have driven further but didn't want to get stuck! A lovely walk and I was soon enjoying the amazing view near GZ. Spent quite a while searching in vain before I read something in Lahierra's log and that gave me some guidance to make the find. Nice and peaceful until the fleet of dune buggies came roaring past. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache kumara17. A couple of 4WD's did pass me on the way back to my vehicle and were even kind enough to offer a lift.

I love the places geocaching takes you. TFTC

I didn't look long as I came out on a buggie tour. But I couldn't find it either. I didn't look long partly because I knew there had been a problem so my lack of success is not conclusive about the fate of the cache.

It’s a pity we couldn’t spot that one. 6 eyes searched everything but it couldn’t be detected. No bird’s nest anywhere.

Woohoo!! Out for a bit of adventure today. TFTC

This is the first of two caches left to find in Coral Bay for us..set out with muggle sis and bro in law at low tide so we could enjoy the beach from the boat ramp to the cache. Easy walk but getting up the sandhill was a funny challenge after a 5 minute search, geohubby found the treasure and the log duly signed. Our path tag left for the next finder and cache replaced exactly as found. Had a change of pace walking back to the boat ramp via 4wd track. Really enjoyed this find thanks to the co for the placement

Took this pic after the find. We had such a lot of fun getting here!...Jonson.

Second time lucky, TFTC

Second time lucky, be aware of snakes saw 2

Not this time i think that it has been covered with sand

Lahierra and I are on a trip through Australia to visit this wide and varied country. Geocaching always helps us to find the most interesting places. The second day in Coral Bay we went for a walk along the beach to the South up to this place. We had to look for a while, could not find a bird's nest but then lahierra saw the box sticking in the sand between the grass.

Spoiler for the next cachers to protect the dunes: please do not search on the very top of the dunes, you can reach it from the side where you do not have to climb the dunes and destroy the plants.

Found in very windy conditions

Tftc

Found the replacement today with Bjossi, after not finding it at Christmas. The fly nets were a blessing! TFTC

Awesome climb up the dune, super windy bring a pen or pencil we forgot.

Coral Bay was bustling with holiday makers but the wind was relentless, perfect for 4WD down the south tracks before it got dark. It was just on sunset when we arrived at GZ, we made a good search of the area but, just like others before us, we were unable to locate the cache.

This is such a magic and remote area, as calls for maintenance have gone unheeded (possibly because the cache owner is no longer in the area) we decided to do a "Put Down" to help keep this series of caches alive for all to enjoy Thanks for bringing us here kumara17.

Definitely hasn't blown away. Tricky to find. Great view TNLS TFTC

I think this needs checking. Four of us searched and dug.

We 4x4 ed in and walked the last bit. Amazing views from up there and we saw whales. But no cache!

I'll place a Maintenance rqequest on this cache with caution - I couldn't locate the cache (or the hint today after a reasonable search). I do think that it's either gone or buried but it does need a check - it may have been buried by shifting sands. A great drive in though - so thanks to kumara17 for the cache.

Awwwwwhh! - didn't find it .

Couldn't find it....maybe blown away :-p

A most beautiful spot. We felt like we were on top of the world! Slow start to finding cache. So much so that we wondered if the very still lizard we saw may have been the cache....but we left him alone and looked a bit more and we're pleased that geodad found the cache. Very blowy up on the hill today and grey and overcast, but still beautiful. TFTC and the series.

Reasonably quick find but the view was slightly differerent from the spoiler

Found it fairly quick after a long sandy walk from Coral Bay.

in memory of the mastercachers KEOLL

TFTC! Greetings the Dutchies

Searched for a while but no luck

Found it but a rough ride in!!!

Search for a while, but could not find

Took a while to find

Great hide TFTC

Looked all round but could not find it. However awesome views

What a shame, my first cache in Coral bay is a DNF. Great view though! TFTH

Washed away with the sands of time.

This one needs either maintenance or archiving - sad as I wanted to get all of the caches in Coral Bay while holidaying.

I should have read the logs first! No luck at all.

I broke away from my group and decided to try and find this cache on my own. Searched everywhere around GZ but couldn't find it. I'd say it's gone. Had I known there were previous DNF I probably wouldn't have come this far. Great view nevertheless. Thanks for bringing me here.

Had 2 detailed searches for this one - the only one of 8 in the area I was not able to find. Think this one must be either gone or buried deep. The GZ sure fits the photo but couldn't find anything that vaguely resembled a nest!

No luck today despite a long search across a wide spread area

Despite digging around in all the places close to GZ, we had no luck locating this cache. It was fun climbing up and down the sand hills though, and the view was certainly worth it.

Had a good look around but no luck. Sand dune has amazing views over the reef, geokids enjoyed the clambering up and down. Pity about the DNF!

We had a wonderful walk along the beach and found GZ with a perfect replication of the view in the photo. Despite searching all the grass and digging around for an hour we found nothing. Likely this is either gone or deeply buried by fresh sand.
A great walk but rather a frustrating cache. A better hint or landmark would be useful. Thanks for the trek TFTT

We looked for this one twice with a dnf both times. A beautiful spot

Found the hint and dug around, found nothing, needs to be checked...

Great spot great view

In Coral Bay for a few days campimg with AlliedOz and The Fitzy's so of course there's caching to be done some in town and some 4wd driving which we enjoyed most there was no car pooling here!!! TFTC!!

Found yesterday whilst exploring . Such a beautiful spot . Tftc

Out camping and caching with The Fitzys and Rokadz in Coral Bay.

Scored a lift in as my AWD would not be getting in or out of this area.

A long search had us all scratching our heads, logging this sometime after the trip... I can not remember such a blatant clue at the time otherwise it would have been a much quicker find

TFTC
AlliedOz aka The Jokers

Out for a drive looking for a good spot to come back to with family. The dunes and beach nearby looked like a good spot. Looked around GZ for a while for the cache. After reading some clues ALLIED OZ came up with the goods in a spot ROKADZ had already looked in... TFTH

Top spot. Tftc

TFTC. First time I've had the patrol on sand dunes!

Found with Tue Clan after some pretty exciting off-roading! Cache seems quite vulnerable, hope it hangs around. Thanks.

Took the hard way up the steep side of the sand dune, but made it. (Just) The hint is important. TNLN TFTC

After a mission up the sand quickly had this cache in hand! Great view!! TFTC

You have to dig for it

Look carefully

Found by Rosie age 5!

Walked out from town to pick up as many caches in the area as possible before we leave town.
Nice day for a walk and a nice dune.
TFTC
