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.

It wasn't until at GZ that we reslised we had been here before and had in fact already founf and logged this cache!
We can vouch that cache is definitely gone and were going yo log a NM before realising it is already disabled!
A nice hide, that would definitely be interesting with a bit more water about. Can't remember the date we found it.
Thanks
 
needs another lot of maintenance

This was either 3rd or 4th attempt. It all fell to place this time and I was signing the log. This one deserves a fav point from me. Thanks MonkeysBehavingBadly.

Well I think we were close but not prepared to get in the muck. Loved the wildlife and the green mosses.
 
17-May-15
Finally found it. Very clever
 
02-May-15
While riding through the area we thought we'd stop off to look for this one. We had a fairly good look for it despite the muggles walking & riding by. We found a couple of items that could have possibly come from or were intended for a cache but no cache itself. We will come back another day.

Such a nice area for a mid-morning walk :c) Picked up a few caches before heading home to get organised for QLD Mega. This one was a little tricky, but persistence paid off ;c) TFTC!!

2nd time lucky, the link from previous logs were connected and a find took place .TFTC

This was our second attempt.tftc
 
22-Mar-15
Today is the day of the SAGA awards 2014 and so earthlight, Brodie and I headed out to cache beforehand and then enjoy the fun at the awards.
We even managed to wash Brodie in between all of this [^]
By day's end, I had 13 Smile and one event attendance Cool

You're right......that's a foul fowl!
Smelly, messy and so much fun! [^]
I'm actually glad that I left Brodie in the car for this one as he woudl have stood behind us, whining for us to come back onto the grass.
Caught a tiny glimpse of something unusual and lo and behold, I pulled the plug on the cache Wink

Loved it.

An absolutely beauty.

Finally spotted it from an angle and soon had a cache in hand/

This would be a hoot in witer.

Great cache

With the water level very low at the moment it's a perfect time to find this one.
The original log is a wet pulpy mess at the bottom of the container but someone has added a replacement so it's still sign able.

Found on a lovely stroll with the geomutt and short crawl in the mud after spotting the telltale tell. Would be interesting to see this one when the lake is in full flood.

To be sure it is a nice spot Smile
But as for finding a cache ...
... I can say "What ??" [:o]

Despite a good poke around,
Nothing was found ...
... and I rode off to another spot Razz

Found it today after stopping here for lunch with the kids.
Very clever idea Smile No sign of pliers?
Kids rested up on the convenient nearby red lounge while I signed
the log with ducks less than a metre away.
Fave point from us Smile TFTC

I've got to admit I didn't approach this with any confidence in view of the recent dnfs. Had a quick poke around and , lo! and behold, what should I espy in the distance but a container looking somewhat out of place! Great use of toilet chain, too! Thanks MonkeysBehavingBadly
 
26-Sep-14
No luck for me today.
 
Just checked on this cache. It's still here but the camo is gone. Sad
 
01-Jul-14
Looks like too much h2o around for a good look, will be back
 
24-Apr-14
Geomum & geotween found themselves with some very rare geobub free time today so decided to tackle some higher terrain caches. We had a reasonable look for this one but when geotween fell in the water up to her knees we decided to abandon the search as we didn't have time to go home and change before picking geobub up from child care. We'll be back when the opportunity arises - with gumboots! Thanks for the hunt!
 
08-Apr-14
Have been thinking of doing something like this for awhile. Great cache. Tftc
 
15-Mar-14
Took the Smirch dogs for a walk and after they had finished jumping in and out of the water we realised this cache was nearby. Little Smirch led the hunt and soon spotted this clever cache and retrieved it. Signed the log and hopefully it's back so that no muggles spot it.
Awesome cache and a pleasure to find.

Distance from original: 73 feet or 22.2 meters.
Moved to a slightly better position. Hopefully it will stop getting muggled now.
 
Back online. Please be careful at GZ and if anyone finds Chellesse's pliers I dropped in the drink, please let me know. Razz
 
The silly thing went AWOL again. Found it afloat near a partially submerged log. Almost fell in trying to retrieve it. Happy to say that it will be back in position as soon as some minor maintenance is carried out.

We had a look and found a stick with fishing line attached but no cache, bummer maybe next time.

A no go for us maybe next time

Found before the swamp people.
Thanks to MonkeysBehavingBadly for the cache.
Fine Elsewhere

It feels like you are in the mangroves at GZ and is s bit challenging to reach the cache. A cool cache which has been well implemented. Thanks mohuja well done
 
14-Dec-13
It's been quite some time since we've walked around here, ending up coming from the far side and over the spillway to the cache Cool[^].
Another neat hide. TNLNSL.
Thanks for one more Mohuja.

running a bit behind in loging

took longer than needed in a clever hide

Had a big geocaching day with Moneydork and Honeysucker meandering about the Adelaide suburbs. We found many and I'm late logging them. Please understand for this batch of caches I will be doing a cut-n-paste log so that I can finish 2013 all caught up on my logs Smile The geocache was not a nondescript cache it meant a lot to me to find it, I just need to get caught up I've been behind for so very long. Thanks heaps!

A clever hide - brilliant, though GZ seemed to be drier than we expected. TFTC

Found on an evenings caching with 3LG and Sneaky Squeaky.
a great little walk around this area.
Loved the camo.

Interesting cache in an interesting location. Somehow, somewhere...

This cache was found using a Garmin Montana 650t. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

I have replaced the cache, but am worried it may get muggled again as there seems to be evidence of some juvenile activities around GZ. Please replace the camo thoughtfully. Thank you.

It has come to my attention that the Fowl has taken a watery holiday, thanks to some young muggles. Back as soon as possible.

So we went past this cache the other week but had no success at the time. Today we brought our lucky charm and while it still took a good 10 minutes of searching, we finally succeeded. A really unique cache that we we haven't experienced before, congratulations and thanks for the hide! TNLNSL TFTC

Had some free time so decided to spend it here. After spending nearly all of it resorted to a PAF line.
After finding it was feeling ashamed at using a PAF line for a cache only 3 metres from my GZ [B)].
Nice decoy.
Thanks for the cache mohuja

Miss GG and I decided to make the most of the fantastic weather and pop out and do some caches.

Joint Bronze for Miss GG and I.

Wow what a search, as we read the other log saying the coords were off.. but trust your coords... We searched far and wide on this one and it was right there in front of us the whole time.

Great hide.. this one will defiantly need checking up on now and then, esp if people don't keep the cache clean.

Nice work Mohuja, thanks for the adventure and favorite point for the container Very Happy

Found with Bacon8100 and a few hangersonerererers.
Were about to leave as the geokids were a bit tired before Bacon spied it with geoteen.
Definitely agree it will need some looking after! Great hide though
 
12-Oct-13
We haven't been able to grab some local caches for a while but today we made time and set of to grab some new ones Smile
Wow this one was good and took us some time to locate, just as we were about to call it a day the cache was found in a rather cheeky spot Razz

Loved it but i do worry that it will fall victim to some careless cachers who wont take the care that is needed..
Favorite point for you and thanks for the cache Mohuja Smile

Walked with Locker101 and our respective families down the walk we've travelled numerous times and came to a familiar area. Some long searching with many people walking past us and it took a hint to finally lay eyes on the cache... thats a great spot!!

As I arrived at the parking spot, saw the 3LG mobile, and thought "this is where they got to", after seeing them depart the previous hide without stopping. As I made my way to GZ, I could hear voices coming from the "muck", and sure enough, there they were busily signing the log book. Saved me a bit of a search, as my GPS had GZ 8.5 meters away! A nice cammo job, and dastardly hidden too. Signed the log to claim a silver on this one. I like these cammos, so a favourite from me. TFTC.

Seeing the usual crowd all gathered around the other local FTF we headed straight for this one, we arrived with no one else being around and headed for GZ, after a few minutes looking Geowife spotted the cache, this is a cool little hide : ) before we had an opportunity to place the cache back Dennisc52 turns up, it would have been good to watch him try to find the cache : ) Favour point from us and this makes FTF number 3 for the day.
