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.

No action on appropriate time frames. Time to go

No action from co

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.

Unable to find, we searched in all directions, and in every place that suited the clue and possible cache hiding places, hopefully its just a case we didn't have our caching eyes adjusted correctly, we hope to be able to give this one another go next time we are over from Victoria.,

Needs checking from the CO

Found a great hiding spot that perfectly fitted the clue, but no cache

no where o be found. checked at least 10m in all directions.

Nice shortcut but no geo searched all over it may be buried in the leaves

DNF

4for5 our first DNF for the day, Bummer, lots of mozzies at 11am. We had a good look, there was a brick and a piece of concrete on the ground, We thought they may have been used to hide the cache and it has been compromised but maybe we need to look harder next time. TFTC

Had a look around here for a few minutes this afternoon for no joy. Very slippery and steep bank, ended up on my bot-bot at least once. Reading back on some logs at home I have an idea of where to start next time.

I hope to return one day, maybe I'll spot some horses swimming when I do.

T_Samson I couldn't find your cache, this was my 1st DNF for the day. I did have 4 finds today so all is not lost.

TFTH

Borrowed sister-in-law's bikes, we flew across geoboy's bike and bought geogals bike for $20. All set for a bike ride nearby. Took bikes in ...not a great idea but the map indicated that you can and go all the way. NOT!! After a quick circle soon found and log. TFTC.

Searched in the fading light but no luck

Didn't find and started running out of daylight. Will have to come back to this one another day

Fenced off maybe approach by water

Had a good look in the long grass. No luck.

DNF Had a quick look but didn't like hanging around in snake country.

Both myself and the geodog looked high and low for this one with no luck

Find 6 of 17 (with 2 DNFs) on a family bike ride along the river with ask277.

While the kids played near the drop to the water the older members of the crew banged their heads against the available walls here. Mrs. O. came up with the find eventually, a few metres away from where Mr. O. and ask277 had been looking (that's their excuse). After the find we discovered that continuing along the river bank with the bikes was not really an option.

TFTC T_Samson!

Today was set apart for a geocache outing with the olthomas crew and it turned out to be a beautiful August summers day for a bike ride along the swan river. Lots of possible hiding spots here and this was our trickiest hide so far but eventually Mrs O found the cache. Tftc.

2nd find of the day

Out with Gwiber doing some caches in the area.

Found without problems today unlike the last time I was here although it seems that I didn't log the DNF at the time.

Thanks T_Samson for the cache.

Decided tontrybfind this while in the area with GeoHubby. Unfortunately, couldn't find hide nor hair of it despite looking extensively in and around the area @ 14:41

Could not find cache

No go here. One casualty with twisted ankle, not an ideal location for kids.

Failed

Out in Midland to rescue a family member with a flat tyre. That done I decided to grab a couple on the way home. SL TFTC

Looked for a little while but to this one also eluded me .Had to high tail with out finding as someone started walking the garden by GZ

I was up in Perth for a few days celebrating birthdays of various family members. There was still half a day free to spend geocaching with Mistraluna before I set sail to the deep south and we managed to pick up a few finds in this neck of the woods. Unfortunately one cache we were looking for was my own but unfortunately that one has been the victim of a muggling. But I was able to find this cache and a sneaky blighter it was too

We dnf'ed here many months ago. Returned with the geohubby today to have a fresh set of eyes survey the scene: he spotted the pesky thing after about 10 mins. TFTC

Found it where i least expected

Quick find out for a ride with a couple of friends. tftc

Didn't look up the hint until I got home. I gave the fence a thorough going over. May return later, now that I know how to get in there. TFTH

tftc

Tftc a good hide

No luck, seems dodgy to be snooping about this place

I found it. I left my mark. I replaced it and I left. TFTC. This took me a while.

No luck for us today.

Parked the Geobikes against a tree and took to the path with snake stick in hand, thrashed around a lot to scare any off and it must have worked as we didn't see any. We didn't see a cache either, certainly not where GZ had me, even tried some other spots with no joy. We will be back at some stage. On my watch list.

Sad to report a DNF on this last cache. We couldnt access GZ from the Eastern side so, having returned to the western side, we left the geobikes and followed a little path in the long grass, keeping an eye out for slitheries as today is a lovely warm day.
At GZ we looked for quite a while, despite the hint , my garmin was determined to take me to the new stonework wall, or even 2 metres the other side of it. Down the embankment is covered in tall kikuyu and, wearing shorts, didnt want to push my luck with the slitheries.
Would love to come back another time.

TFTH!

This took quite a while to find but we got there in the end. Tftc!

A good 15 minute hunt and determination came through here TFTC

Found on a lovely caching afternoon with Brok3nRob0t, TFTC

OMG, steep sandy slopes and a lot of bricks turned over until I read the previous logs, I sat down, like a previous cacher did, and it appeared, so easy. I yelled to SJ-Atom to get up here so we could exit the area more easily than the path we took on the way in. TFTC

Headed out today on my lunch break to grab a couple more along the river today.
A magnificent day weather wise for a walk.

TFTH T_Samson

Great cache

This was another find in Western Australia while crossing Northern Territory and Western Australia from Darwin to Perth on Gibb River Road through the Kimberlys. During this 8500km journey we've met many nice and friendly people [^], visited countless marvelous places, saw lots of interesting local wildlife (and plants), took some 2500 pictures home and logged some 300 Caches .

Cacheator Dad had here the right angle to spot the little one .

Thanks for the cache, we've enjoyed it very much [^].
$8Vs (Cacheators)

Simple and devious....just like my caches. I like the way you think!

Tiny

Good hiding spot all had fun looking for it with our group of 10. This time my coordinate was completely different to the other day and we found it. We nearly gave up untill grandpa sat down to take a rest...it suddenly appeared.

Second time lucky! Thanks to the good eyes of joserwey!

Very hard to see that. 9 of us. Finally found it.

So small

BISSRA found it. Nice hidden path. Took us awhile to find but luckily we have a group of 9. GPS not very accurate with the location.

Yay!!! Second attempt and found it!!! Thanks for the tips!

Ok done

Very sneaky one, group of nine luckily jojo spotted it, tftc

No luck searched for at least 20min sure we were in the right area. Will try again next time I am in Perth.

Pretty sure we found it but it needs replacing

Pretty sure we found it but it needs replacing

Nice location but no luck this time. Will try again next time.

Love this place! But did not find it

Took a little bit of searching but after about ten mins and rereading the logs I had this one in hand! The view from the top was lovely!!

wow love the terrain. The view from the top is great. Tftc.

Really good hide

Second attempt with more success after reading a previous log!

replaced log

Log is damp and scrappy.

Found it with geofamily (actually daughter Phoenix Fire spied it). Difficult to stand and not slide down whilst retrieving. This was my second go at this cache and it was a bit tricky to see that little black thing. Yes log was damp when we unscrewed the container. It was difficult to sign our names.
Had to keep geodog on leash due to horses being there... one girl was trying to get her horse in the water, but I reckon it thought that it was too cold, because it didnt want to go...
Thanks for that tricky one...

Tricky glad we hung around to find. Log is wet needs replacing

With geocaching fairies.

1st dnf for the day. Searching high and low with geardos geckos but remained hidden to us.

I hate it when I cant find it!!!

A day of caching this was one of them. THX

Poped in between jobs to check on cache cache is dry and still in its original spot this

Happy hunting

Armed with the photo image I thought I'd have another crack at this one. Surely I could turn it up as someone had found this since we were there last. I searched high and low, finally had to admit defeat. I do wonder if it is still there because I found a couple of likely spots, but no cache? TFTH T Samson.

Really tricky - one more hint would be good.

I was out on a walk around the bridges this morning, but ended up running short on time after spending a long time looking for the last 3 caches.

Here I looked where my phone was pointing me, then consulted the hint, and then the previous logs, and spent quite a while more looking and looking before finally spotting the cache! I was very happy to make the find here, thanks for the cache T_Samson!

Looked high and very steep and sandy

This is quite a difficult spot to get to. There is a lot of erosion along the river bank and the GZ area is very dry and unstable. Yes, and lots of rubbish! After 15 minutes of examining all of the possibilities, including looking up the previous logs, I gave up the hunt. The hint was of no help to me??? Will be back to have another go at it, one of these days.

We had a FTF here back in September and seeing a few DNF's lately we thought we would check if its still there....... And it is!!
Good luck.

looked for 15min no luck need more clues as its a mini find and a dense area with rubbish everywhere, no chance unless your lucky to stumble upon it

Wish I hadn't gone after this one. Couldn't find it but have a feeling it is still there despite the building activity on the fence. On the way back out of the dead end, slipped down a grassy slope with a bit of a thud.

Spent forever trying to find it but couldn't, really steep and hard to get to

Spent some time here looking until the dogs started to get a bit restless.
Looked high and low but I'm afraid I couldn't spot it this time.

After following the path from the horse swimming area and traveling through the bamboo jungle I was about to climb the bank when I caught an opportunistic glimpse of the cache. This was lucky as I don't think it would have been where I would have started looking otherwise. TFTC.

A frustrating search here, almost gave up, but spotted it hanging around in the end. TFTH.

After making our way to the area, we searched for about 15mins up and down and eventually spotted the cleverly hidden cache, just as we were about to call the search off.

TFTH T Samson

Back up this way with skippy 46 for a couple of hours of caches. I always like coming up this way as there is plenty of caches looking to be found. i must say people love to keep fit up this way. maybe it was the nice warm weather but everywhere we went people were jogging, rowing, walking there dogs or just lazing in the sun...We found 15 caches in 3 hours with no DNFS and most caches were found quickly except a couple that were quite tricky to find. Once we worked out how to get to the cache we started searching and searching and i think it was at least 15 minutes later that the cache was spotted TFTC T Samson

a nice quick find while out for the day my gps put me up next to a wall put managing to get my eyes on it quickly cache is not in the first place you would normally look

TFTC

Hunted around for 5min but didn't spot any cache like objects. My GZ was right on the fenceline, so after searching this I decided to call it a day. Will return again.

A kayak day cache NOT ? I was confronted with a blank wall after climbing up the cliff. HMMM

Even after finding how to get to the cache we still couldn't find it. D:

Had a bit of an off day and couldn't locate this one.

Teamed up with Everlasting and urch to do some caches in the area. Loved this stretch of river. Thanks T. Samson

Wow Never know about "horse swimming area" - I would love to come back and have a look at it... We enjoyed walk the track along to the GZ - search overwhere until Mistraluna spotted the cache - good hide spot. Signed the log at 9.27am with urch and mistraluna. Thanks T Samson.
