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.

Nice easy find

I love that one

A beautiful autumn day for a drive around the Le Fevre Peninsula/Semaphore/West Lakes area - a dozen caches were sought and 11 were found. Thanks to all the COs for the efforts in placing and maintaining their caches. No chameleons were spotted, however the dog park was well utilised by the local hounds.

My gps was 12m out, but I found it

Number 1 is gone, makes you the new Number 1!

What an interesting park! Easy quick find. Beautiful area. Ended up here randomly and just thought this looks like a great place for a cache. I checked and there was. Thank you!

On my way into the city this morning for the tour down under I stopped by to make a quick find here, the cache and contents are all in good order.
Thanks for the cache

Thank you nice walk

Thanks for the cache!! - webbers

Thanks 3LG for a great hide. Nice location

Thankyou!! Walked to work this morning and logged a couple of geocaches on the way

a truck driver has to have a 15 minute break in the first 5.5 hours of driving, then another 15 minute break between 5.5 hours and 8 hours plus either 2 x 15 minute breaks or 1 x 30 minute break between 8 hours and 11 hours then they can drive to a maximum of 13 hours. This cache was found in the first 15 minute break. A short walk to the cache now all the construction works have finished that where here from my last visit. quick find.

Easy find

Out walking Shelby the geodog tonight, as we're both getting very winter barrel like. Nice easy find and my first travel bug find TFTC

Nice easy fine

Rare leave pass on a weekend to go caching and so I arranged to meet Anymules at a morning event and do just that. We considered a long walk in a park but the weather didn't appear to be clearing so in the end decided to hit the Port and clear out a few there.

We entered off Lady Gowrie Drive passing the now derelict structures where I resided from time to time in the mid 1970's. This area was devoid of anything but dunes and plants and the tortuous end to a Five Mile Cross Country run. [:(!] Now it was an easy walk along the path to make an easy find.

**Thanks LíB for this cache. **

A pleasant walk along the path hearing about some of the history of places nearby.

Thanks for the cache LíB.

Find #8998

Good one!

After a really crappy day at work I headed off home via caching to get my daily cache. I had planned on just getting a multi for a challenge but decided a bit of fresh air and walk would do me good to clear the head. So headed to this little trio of LiB caches.
It was a beautiful evening and my mood improved as all 3 caches were found. Enjoyed my short walk, the sunset was lovely and I found my happy place again.
This is a lovely area and right next to the Police academy, thought I would end up there one day but think that idea is past me now! Cache was found in the obvious spot once I had circled the host. TFTC LiB

Had a pencil in the container - very handy!

TFTC Muggles everywhere!

TFTC a nice find

Found it tftc

TFTC this is a fantastic area for families & their pets. Pity the sun wasn’t out today

Found with 3+ helpers

Great find

I had to be very stealthful as there were a lot of people walking there dogs in that lovely dog park.
Thank you for the cache

Accurate coordinates and an obvious hide location led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks 3LG for the cache.

first of the day. nice one.

took the bluewrentit peg and left the spider

#3321 A quick find as the guy with the blower was approaching. Visiting Adelaide for 5 days from Canberra on this very hot summers day. Found a total of 76 caches. TFTC 3LG.

Found with clare007 during our caching day out...
What a great area...
Cache was found after a short search...

Out on a caching day with hevwalker & we had a full day of caching scheduled.
Our searching was made easier as no muggles were near gz, but I'm sure the little group in the dog park was wondering what we were doing ...
Thanks for bringing us here 3LG

Found at a lovely day out be ware the muggles

Cache #1929.

Normally, Sunday is the day to go outside. In cold weather, we go East to hills; in hot weather, we go West to beaches. Today we went to the Snake Pit. Noticed three traditional caches nearby, and all three caches belong to the same cache owner.

Found all three caches, and this is the last find today. I don't know there are such an impressive playground, if not for the cache.

Found the cache in a reasonable spot. Signed the log book, and placed it back. Covered it well.

Thanks for the "Animal Facts" cache series, 3LG.

Quite possibly the quickest find I've ever had, saw what was likely the cache hiding spot, and sure enough, there it was! TFTC!

Found with help from previous comments. Tftc. Can't wait to get out of this wind

Good hide retrieve cache quickly signed log and returned Tftc

Out west for work so decided to do a little 'caching' on the way home. Was a little worried I wouldn't find this cache as lots of workmen renovating the park. Is going to be great when it's finished. Anyway they were knocking off for the day & cache was well away from the upgrade. Tftc

Quick find whilst avoiding the gaze of dog slaves. Loved checking out the police academy, what a freaky looking place! Tftc

Quick find. The day is starting to brighten up. TFTC

TFTC. Nice and quiet here today

We were in the port of Adelaide for the day on Holland Americas Amsterdam. We had a 6-hour tour in the morning that took us to the town of Hahndorf. We knew we could get a few caches there. On the way there, we did a photo stop at Mt Lofty. Wow! There was a cache about 400' from the viewpoint. So Marbles zipped down the trail and bushwhacked through the forest to get that one.

We had two hours of "free-time"in which we had a great German lunch and were also able to get a cache at either end of the town. The group returned to the ship, where we changed into our "geocaching clothes" and out we went for the rest of the day. We did a large 8-mile walking loop around the beautiful port town and were able to find 14 caches before we had to head back to the ship for dinner.

So we wound up with 17 caches on the day, with one DNF near the end of the day. Great day!!!

Thank you to 3LG for 12 of the 17 caches and to each of the other COs for their efforts and for their caches. A special thank you to 3LG for the "walk through the animal kingdom" via cache Descriptions, which were full of great information.

Sorry for the late log, found by D&V during an afternoon out caching

4th find for the day tftc

3rd on the list, this one had us stumped, I went to where I thought it was first up after the geo-kids had located the first 2 on our list, so it was my turn to find one, dog park was initially empty but soon had some 4 legged friends barking at us.. We gave up and went on to another, the next one gave us a hint as to the location of this one so we back tracked and located in the place I first looked *sigh* all good though, thanks for the fun and the hide!

Quiet night getting some caches we always seem to miss. TFTC

With new co-ords I wanted to get back to this one after DNF-ing it on 10 Dec last year. Today, the 28th of October 2017, was the day. A quick find was made with scant regard for the cop cameras over the fence lol. The Police probably have a chuckle watching Cachers try to find this one even though it is not on Police property SL at 13:40. Saturday 28 October, 2017. TFTC 3LG

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Cache for the day required and was travelling close by for work so decided to swing in and have another try at this one. Last time I did get to do a search but there were a lot of muggles in the adjacent dog park and could not search as thoroughly as I would have liked, so ended up abandoning the attempt. Although the Chameleon could have disguised himself reeeely well..... Turns out it was missing, and is now back.
Parked in the car-park, and wandered down to GZ. Driver training next door so had to be a bit discrete, but quickly found the cache, extracted log, signed and replaced.

Found with vj187. A quick find. TFTC

Found with 2011*turtle. Good to find it on a return visit. TFTC

Good hide. TFTC

Good hide

Missing last time I was here but today a straightforward find. There was a group of cadets doing left/right/left/right/left/right, just over the other side of the fence. The next generation of our boys in blue. Thanks 3LG for replacing this cache. Nice dog park along side of GZ.

Day Twenty of our holiday, BettyBoo3747 and I are still at Semaphore in Adelaide. Deadly treadlies left in the garage today and into the geocar and shanks ponies for our caching.
This little shape shifter just appeared back on line this morning while we were stuffing around at Outer Harbour.
A short walk to a familiar spot (very flash dog parks here!)
We had looked here the other day, but a lot more to be found today.
Thanks for the prompt maintenance.
Thanks, Robmc.

#11916. Day 20 of our SA holiday. Someone is feeling rather tender after 3 days caching and touring by bicycle (not me) so it is caching by geochariot today. Time to collect a few outstanding ones north of here and then head out to do the BGWT caches before returning home for some down time. A nice little tally of 20 smilies and the obligatory DNF.

I put this one on watch hoping to see when maintenance was carried out on the cache. It came through on the phone after we had already driven past once today, so back we came with high hopes of adding a smilie. There were a couple of fellows surveying their handiwork inside the dog parks. They are indeed wonderful doggie areas - we had admired them the other day. We walked on past and although I was at GZ Rob told me I was wrong (until the cache was found there of course). Left one of my Sapphire Mask Pathtags this morning.

Thanks 3LG

DNF. Day 17 of our SA holiday. Our first day based in Semaphore so time to explore on the bicyles and hope to pick up several of the nearby caches. A forelorn hope as it turned out, as we kept rocking up to caches that are actually missing in action and then there were our other DNF's also. I did manage to sign 23 caches on a 30km ride and gathered another 6 DNF's for my growing SA collection.

Rocked up to this place and didn't realise it hasn't been found since November 2015. A few DNF's and a couple of written notes during 2016. It must be time to disable, review, or archive it.

Damn Chameleons! The masters of Stealth sometimes and today this type of animal was eluding me. The police joint and it's cameras over the fence were a bit disconcerting too [:o] Maybe the chameleon was lunch for a stray dog from the nearby new dog-play park? It's probably still there and I'm just blind lol [:o)], TFTH 3LG. I will be back one day
