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 http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

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.

cache has been missing for the best part of 2 years and the CO has not bothered to maintain it. Maybe it's time to go.

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.

Can't find it! Is it here?

December sorting out doesn't appear to have happened?

Hmm

Will sort this one out before cams fingers crossed

Adding our names to the growing list of DNFs here.
Time for CO to check on it?

Looked twice now camt see it

T

Not today

No luck!

Tricky hide, last cache for the day, will try this one again.

couldn't find this one, must be out of touch

Can't find this one

I had to drop some mangoes off for a fellow geocacher and so while I was out, Brodie and I found 5 caches
What a weird night.
A huge bushfire burning close to the north eastern suburbs was dropping ash on my car and everything else in the vicinity.
This was early in the night, before the fire increased in size and damage and after the cache run, my daughter and grandkids had to evacuate (as did many, many other people).

It took Brodie and I a while to find this micro cache, my GPSr had me just a little bit away and I thought like troll for a while before realising my mistake!
Tried a different approach and bingo, I had the cache in hand
It could use a new, less tattered log but I didn't have any with me. Sorry.
Not too many ducks visible at about midnight!

TNLN. SL. TFTC thommo77

Found with JarradMan. Don't listen to the hint.

Found with Jaymakka

Tricky little spot nice cache!

I must be quackers poking around for a micro cache here !!
The local ducks thought I was too

But against all the odds .... I found a cache

Doesn't look like a film canister to me !!

TFTC .... Quack !!

Tftc found with polkys quest

Found with auzzie convict tftc

found with ryanmc05

Found it.

Found with Peter Mac

Thanks to TeamDani for the replacement container. By the sounds of it all good to go

Found the replacement container easily in the exact same spot we spent 20 minutes looking unsuccessfully previously. We think it may have been hidden differently originally, but since we failed to find that one, we like the new one just as much TNLNSL TFTC

Found with ryanmc05

Quickly found the wrecked container (part of it) so I returned to the car and grabbed a replacement. The cache is a green M&M tube , covered in cammo tape. Placed it in a position near the wrecked cache that best matched the hint! Thanks Thommo77 for the hide!!

Container found but the contents seem to be missing. Needs maintenance.

Found with Bacon but container empty.

Thanks. Found it but just an empty canister

Found it but needs maintainance coz its empty with no lid 31 August 2014

Thanks

Found a film canister that was covered in tape, (these aren't normal for ducks) but it had no lid, and no log.

Might be worth having a look Thommo. Thanks.

Found it. It was open and empty and lying on the ground. Put it back where we thought it was supposed to be.

Tricky! TFTC

Easy find tftc

4th find. Great clue!!!

Snap snap

Thanks to previous notes and hint , it took a little time to find while trying to watch mr 2 year old chase the ducks, find 7 for the day

A nice sneaky hide
Took a little while
Great location
TFTC x

Quick find on the way home from school. Thanks for hiding this geocache!

TB visit.
Tacking my FTF's [^]

Looked for ages and could not find. Will return to keep searching

Took us a few minutes. Nice peaceful location

Parked on other side of road out with 3LG today

Eventually found a few metres from GZ SL TFTC

After reading previous logs. We moved a little way from GZ and the cache was in hand. TFTC

After a failed attempt with the FTF we were passing here today with earthlight, after we threw the hazards on to stop a 4WD behind us from running over the ducks crossing the road we headed down to try and find this cache, earthlight had cache in hand before i could start looking, we also had quite a few ducks im front of us which made for a cool way to find a cache. TFTC

First find for the day heading to Mt Crawford with 3LG.
a quick easy find .
TFTC

Made a quick find at night with the frogs croaking in and the ducks flapping.
TFTC

Déjà vu on this one - definitely been here before .
Looked around for awhile before moving further away from the bridge as we widened our search area, stumbling over the cache lying on the ground [xx(]. Think the co-ords may be out a bit .
TNLNSL.
Replaced where we thought it would have come from [?][?].
Thanks Thommo77.

Looked every where

Second time at this scenic location. I wandered around in circles for ages and was tempted to keep going to Bunnings to get the paint we have selected to paint the family room. I eventually found it about 4-5m west of my GPS gz indications. Saw a flotilla of ducks close by. Thanks thommo77 for keeping me away from the paint brush for just a little longer.

Hard cache to find, but with another 6 eager helpers the cache was soon in my hands! TFTC!

Took a long long time and a few hints but got there! Kids got bored so had to keep an extra eye on them for fear of losing one in the water!

Took a while but we finally found it!!!

A tough find. Took quite a while and were lucky to spot it.

Could not find this one today although we looked for a good 20 mins.

Gorgeous location, lovely ducks. Took some nice pictures so all was not lost.

We will come back.

TFTC thommo77

Tricky little bugger...took the kids a little while to find this one

On a damp and dark evening, the hunt was looking doubtful. Reread hint and logs to get the final impetus to find the blighter.
Nice work! Thanks for the smilie!

Somewhere, somehow, a duck was watching.

Even though I didn't see a duck, I knew one was watching me.

Thanks to thommo77 and clear skies from TeamAstro.

I've been trying to clear out my closest to homes, and then this blot suddenly appeared on the landscape! Hmmmm! Better do something about that! Took a bit of searching, but after widening my search area a bit....Bingo!!! Thanks thommo77

Today Darknstormy and i headed out on our normal sunday caching adventures to clean up a few new ones that have been published recently and a few oldies we have not been able to gather before

This was a tricky one but eventually the little sucker was spotted

Thanks for the cache Thommo7

Miss GG and myself decided to get out of the house and enjoy the nice weather before settling down to watch some motor racing,

At GZ we wondered around in the wrong place as the gps just wasn't counting down for us, finally getting some sort of direction the little guy was found not long after

Thanks for the cache Thommo77

Had a quick look after school and it's still there. All good.

We like checking out new caches in the neighbourhood, but had no luck today. Any micro/nano in a bush setting like this should be at least a 3 star difficulty

Couldn't find it today.

I popped by for a quick look after school drop off and thankfully saw Monica having a look around so I didn't look like so much of a dill looking around next to the road on my own

There was nothing to be seen and I figured it had been muggled already, or the coords were out.

I didn't think to refresh the cache there and then, doh!

I walked 4kms back home and sat down to check the cache to see the new coords had come through, doh!

Take two... Jumped into the car this time had a quick look around before finding it!

Was surprised to see two logs in there already, and couldn't work out who MBB was, but after reading Monica's log, it all makes sense

Well done Monica
Thanks for the cache Thommo77

You know you're a geocacher when you meet a stranger rummaging around in the bushes and it's perfectly normal. Went first thing after school drop off this morning hoping for a FTF, imagining it may be easier in daylight. Was soon joined by KittyKat, we looked all over but no luck. Gave up and headed for a nearby cache. About to head home for breakfast when I noticed that the coordinates for this one were updated. Didn't take long before I got to GZ and nearly jumped out of my skin as Cache_ISM popped out of nowhere. A little searching high and low, so many potential spots, and we had the cache in hand for a joint FTF at 0932. My recommendation, bring eye protection. TFTC thommo77

Woo Hoo! Finally.
A joint FTF with MBB! Sorry about the fright.
There's no way we were gonna find that last night.

Thanks Thommo77. [^] [^] [^]
Find #529

Better late then never.
Thanks for the cache thommo77

Seeing no logs for this on my app, decided to have a look on my way home. Took a little bit of looking, but found it soon, only to see 4 or 5 logs in the cache. Might have to change apps. TFTC.

Published

Gahh, I've only just seen the email half hour after publishing so I've probably missed the local mini-flash mob event now.
Will add this one to the to-do list!

Are you there yet Ttrogg?

I was there.
Didn't take long to get to GZ. Found a tree. Looked.
Returned to car to replace flat battery. Looked some more.
Noticed an interestingly shaped tree nearby. Looked.
Looked some more but all to no avail.
Hopefully all shall be revealed in daylight.
Thanks for the hunt thommo77

We checked high and low near and far, we even tried swapping numbers but still no cache, we had bright torches and even the UV in action, we did how ever got to meet cache-ism so there was a bonus with this dnf, hopefully the super slooth ttrogg can sniff this one out.TBs visited

Coordinates changed from:
S 34° 46.297 E 138° 43.109

Coordinates changed to:
S 34° 46.307 E 138° 43.122

Distance from original: 88.9 feet or 27.1 meters.
Not a great start for this one. Went to check make sure everything was ok and found coordinates where off my fault should have double checked. Have updated the new ones.

D... N... F...

Searched GZ and surrounding area.
Team 3LG came along & joined me in my search.
Still nothing. Oh well, had a few laughs.
