As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been longer than 30 days since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email) once the cache is in place, and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

With over 10 DNF's in a row and one find that seems strange, I think that the CO has neglected this one and it's time to archive it.
I wasn't able to search all that well as there were some nearby tennis players but i noticed that the area had been remulched recently so I wasn't sure that the cache would still be there.
Could the CO please check on this cache as there has been a history of DNF with a couple of questionable finds in between. Thank you
The coordinates put you on the footpath. Searched the area including the fire box but nothing. I believe it has been muggled.
Searched everywhere, through a pile of rubbish and a computer to no avail. The coordinates seemed to suggest it was out on the road...
It was dark but we searched high and low and find only the poor remains of a Dell PC. Suspect this one is dead Jim.
Could not find. Am new to this so got my folks who are old hats at geocaching to check and no luck. Think it has been removed.
Found It! Easy peasy! Took less than 10 seconds. Pretty much walked straight up to it. It is in nearly plain sight. Signed the log book.
Out on a Sunday evening bike ride, on my own today, good to get out an get some fresh air. Tftc

This one was too easy, it was just sitting out in the open. Placed it back in some cover at coords...but still not much to hide it!
Hard to believe this one has survived so long. Clearly visible from the car and easily retrieved.
Thanks ethanh 11
Thanks ethanh 11
How does this one not get muggled?! You must have honest neighbours. Easy, fun find - thanks.
An easy find, possibly too easy, on a caching run with Kato Potato. TFTC ethanh_11.
Was a very funny sight watching kyabbott sprawl on the pavement searching under a nearby object before we realised the error of our ways! A very quick find with a bit of eye rolling at our initial efforts ensued! Thanks for the cache and bringing me back to childhood haunting grounds... I do believe I learnt how to play tennis here once upon a time
Suscoe's 14th find of 25 for today as we wandered about this area enjoying a cool but delightful day.
The morning started out sunny enough but as the day progressed the high level clouds started to move in from the north west.
All was well here today as we stopped by to find this cache.
Log signed and on our way.
Thanks to ethanh 11 for this placement.

This one was totally visible, we hid it better - hope it stays that way.
There was no pen inside.

Thankfully not in school grounds (even though I'm the treasurer of the Ptf here)
No luck in the dark, tonight. Didn't search too long as I didn't want the neighbours calling the cops on me.
Find #1461. Found @ 18:40. This was the fourth of four finds and five DNFs for my run.
A nice quick find in the most logical location. Unfortunately I still made 3 more find attempts on some other caches in the region.
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.

Not what we expected! Could have saved a few minutes under a pile of rubbish if we'd followed the GPS coords.
MasterIschi and Arthur and Dent went on another epic cache run. We collected 26 of 26 caches including 3 multi and an earthcache. We want to thank all cache owners since we a great time down there.

Find 13 of 00 for the day and #1681 in total.
Even though the GPSr was pointing straight at it we thought it couldn't be there and looked in all the wrong places to we bit the bullet, followed the arrow and got the cache.
Lets hope they don't clean up anytime soon!

Found today while out and about with the Geodog. Thanks for the cache ethan 11.
Nice rainy day for geocaching. First one for geo dad - we did let him find it. Thanks
CamBendy and I had a rare night out. This was a nice easy find after stopping for pizza.

Find [u]#755[/u]
As we are want to do, the Physics Teacher and I scheduled a little escapade full of fun and caching on a typical winters night. Why we seem to never do this during the lovely warmer months I will never understand. This was find 11 of 25 in total for the evening.
[Blue]After enjoying our dinner at the worlds quietest and slowest pizza place, we quickly drove around to here to resume the fun and frivolity.
This cache thankfully caused us little trouble or pause, and was quickly found, signed and returned.[/Blue]

Out on a Sunday ride I stopped by this and thought I knew where it was...but was wrong. Thought a little more... 'surely not', but yes, it was there and I quickly signed and returned. Thankfully very few people and cars about today.
Thanks for the cache ethanh 11.

Clocking up a few kms walking and caching at the same time. A nice quick find by the lady of the team on a drizzly afternoon. TNLN SL TFTC
Stopped at gz and ghetts got out of the car and thinker the cache on my car roof before I even pulled the handbrake. Needless to say, it was a bit exposed so tucked back in with a bit more care TFTC=P
Sunday night caching with Gerry83, we pulled up to the spot and I had the cache in hand before G83 had a chance to turn the car off. Signed and replaced the cache a little deeper in and it was quite exposed when I saw it.
We arrived at the exact spot !, don't you love that almost a drive by but not quite with baluke and atraversiamo on spot of night hunting tftc
Out for a night trail with my geobuddies. Who are so much more organised than me. I forgot my shoes!!!! Nice quick cache. Tftc.
Not sure what the manky rubber swag was though??? Might warrant a check on the contents from CO
found on 24/05/2014 9:43 pm on way to filling 366 challenge while out night caching with BelleAkela and GypsyQueen Atraversiamo
Find #1545

came back to try this one again and it was find 3/6. nice and easy. interesting place for a cache!
Very quick find. Per a previous logger, doesn't seem the most secure spot for a cache.
Nice day for tennis. TFTC

It was Anzac Day and lovely sunny weather. This was good for caching, but the muggles were out in force, and a few caches had to be left because of it. There were kids playing as I drove up, and was glad to find that GZ was not near the courts. Found quickly.
Thanks to ethanh_11 for the cache.

Out and about and at large with Slink1. We had no plan and no direction other than to get out there and do a bit of caching. We went here and there and it felt like everywhere. TNLN TFTC SL
Out and about today with Dunko no real plans other than to have fun caching really enjoyed the time exploring the locations along the way. Many thanks to ethanh_11 for the effort in placing the cache
Found without issue SL

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.
Out for another fun filled day of caching with Nut bear.
We have been past here several times in the past but there were always too many cars around. Today being school holidays and very wet was the perfect time to actually stop and look. Cache was found in the first place we looked.

Out for another awesome caching adventure with BorisB&Natasha. With steady rainfall this afternoon the areas we visited were completely deserted.
It always amazes me how these large caches in such built up areas manage to survive. The cache was quickly found and returned to the car to sign out of the rain.

Out caching with GJMMelb and quiet1_au today. This was a quick find - this time found by me - out of sight of the tennis players. TFTC
Lochb, Quiet1_au and I set out this afternoon for an afternoon caching run down in Sandringham. Had to search a bit here. Fortunately no muggles except those playing tennis. Thanks ethanh

After a did not attempt due to those accursed muggles being too close to GZ at Sandy's Hollow (and darn it - still there at dusk too...) we headed down the road to give this one a try. Some potential GZ targets were identified on our approach, but at GZ the GPSs didn't lie and lochb found the cache where it seemed unlikely to find one TFTC
We found this cache today at 4:45pm as number 18 of 26 on our Right Around Southland afternoon. Wow, we are blown away that we have found no less than 3 of these types of hide so far today. In our experence, this type of hide usually has a very short lifespan so we hope that it lasts. Thanks from D, H & A B-A.
There were some muggles playing tennis however they were out of sight as I retrieved the cache. Nice and easy find, TFTC
There were a couple of players but far enough away. Cache was found easily but I hope that no-one comes along with a mower!
I love overcast weather when caching so I don't need any sticky sunscreen so headed out for a few hours today hoping the forecast showers didn't eventuate - which they didn't.
Wow, that's out in the open isn't it. A nice easy find, had nothing to cover it so just had to leave it how I found it. (Mind you, that's what you're supposed to do isn't it?)
Thanks for the cache, the hunt and the fun.
