Logs
As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months 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), 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.
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 page and post a 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.

I noticed there was a few DNF's on the cache since in last found the cache. I had a look to see if it was still in the same place as I put it. Sorry to say it is gone. I checked around to see if it had been move. Nothing.
Didn't dint it either, agree coordinates are around 10m off as I found cactus, but no cache anywhere, very disappointed. Can owner maintain this?
Was this cache checked by the CO? I will only have a another 3-4 weeks to cross this off my list before I change jobs and will be 500klm away.
Listed co-ordinates lead me about 25-30m from the cactus. Magpiecottage coordinates of 23 38.554 and E 150 24.33 are about right. Found a rock likely to be hiding a cache but nothing. Dug around in mulch.
Muggled?

Well that wasn't hard. Read the cache name, wife says look there and had the cache in hand in 30 sec. No GPS used. Cache was well hidden. It's been a couple of years since we cached so use this cache to get back into it. Normally come to this park regularly with a pie and drink in hand from the local bakery. Such a nice location and quiet during the week. Nice and cool during the summer with the wind blowing across the water. Well worth the visit if geocachers are in the area.
Thanks guys

Dropped off the caravan, and drove into Mount Morgan to have look around.
We used the co-ords supplied by magpiecottage, which seemed to work for us also.
Cache was found quickly as it was out in the open, signed and put it back where we thought.
Many thanks for placing this cache, The Brooksy Clan, for us and others to find.

Beautiful spot, had a lovely picnic!! If fact while sitting and feeding my face I saw the cactus and thought that would be a great spot for a cache, so I checked it out and here it is!! TFTC!!
Went all over GZ where my phone took us but no luck here. Could it have been muggled already? A clue might help.
After a little more searching we found the 'dam cactus' and the cache! The coordinates that worked best for us were S 23 38.554 and E 150 24.337. The posted coords put us 30m too far east. TNLN, SL. TFTC. All the travel bugs visited (Squirt the turtle and Block Party tag)
Didn't happen for me today. I'd just started to look when a car load of muggles arrived so abandoned the search and unloaded the kayak for a trip across the dam planning to return to the search later.
Loaded the kayak after a DNF and headed back to GZ for another look at this one just as two cars arrived for lunch. Some days it would have been better to stay in bed !!!!!
Thanks anyway, I'll be back !!!
