Unarchive a geocache

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.

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 or message centre) 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.

Found after having a good look at the old telegraph station this morning and noticed that we had parked only a few metres away from the gz. With that we soon had the cache in hand and with no fruit for me to pick l decided a drink of water was just as satisfying on this very hot start to the day. Thanks Alicecaching for the hide.

We arrived yesterday in Alice Springs and we love this place !!
Our first stop today was at the old telegraph station. Very interesting, we learned a lot. We even saw two kangaroos hopping around!
The time was ready for my first find in the NT after we had a very nice looking cappuchino at the café. Approaching ground zero I saw the cache from far away...

On our vacation this year, we did a great trip as GER-17 to Australia.
GER-17 are DieFraudiemitmuss, Lundi263, de Eifelaner and murri24.
We started the tour in Melbourne where we spend a few days sightseeing and caching, including some trips out of the City to the Grampians an to the Great Ocean Road.
Nice place to be and to see.
From Melbourne we went to Alice Springs including Ayrs Rock, where we saw some nice sunsets and other great stone formations and spots.
Back in Melbourne we started by car to go to Sydney along the coast with zig zags into the blue mountains and Canberra.
Finally we arrived in Sydney and spend here the last day of our holidays with caching and sightseeing.
During this trip we found this box.

DieFraudiemitmuss, Lundi263, Murri24 and I made this year a very great tour together. Our first target is Melbourne. So we started early in the morning to visit the city and to make a few geocaches. We found very nice locations and interesting spots. One day we rent a car. Very early in the morning we drive from Melbourne City over Geelong to the Great Ocean Road. Along this road we found so much interesting spots, we see a great landscape, and had have not enough time for sightseeing. The weather was fine but a little bit windy. This day was very long and hard, but wonderful.
After that we visit the Grampians. A little bit rain, a little bit windy and a little bit sunny day, we had fasten all weathers. We visit waterfalls, canyons, sandstone fomations and any Look Outs. Puhhh, what a great landscape.
The next part of our journey is to explore the Outback. From Ayers Rock we take a car and drive over Kings Canyon and many other Look Outs to Alice Springs. We visit any very interesting Caches and had a great time by comfortable temperature.
This traditional Cache we hav also found. We log it as "GER-17". Thank you for this Cache.
 
23-Jul-17
Out in the early morning to catch up with Team Crackers. Nice little cache. Thanks

Together with Team "GER-17" (consisting of murri24, der Eifelaner & dieFraudiemitmuss and me) I was able to find this Cache quickly. Smile
After this find we took a stroll around on of the walkways and to the Alice Springs Waterhole.

Thanks a lot for hiding this Cache!
 
21-Jul-17
We were held over in Alice for a little bit longer than expected with mechanical difficulties and what better than to fill in the time to go caching and add a few more Smilies to our total.

We didn't read the cache page very well when we started off with this one and certainly parked a lot further away than we needed to but they always say that exercise is good for you.
We arrived at gz to find a young family playing hide and seek right where we wanted to search so that wasn't going to work and turned to head back to the car but before we got too far we heard mum yelling at the kids to get in the car so we hung around and waited until they left and then headed back for what turned out to be a nice easy find and happily added our name to the log.

Many thanks Alice caching but once more for the cache
