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.

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.

Time to go [?]

No sign of cache. Owner please check

This cache has not been found for some time. Can owner please check to see if it still in location

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Nothing there

Looked for ages...... a dnf for us today. Think it has grown legs and wandered off....

Can cache owner please check this one is still here following on from a few dnf's.

We didn't attempt a search on this cache today, as we would have had an audience. Judging by the last few logs, we probably made a good call.

Could CO please check this still here. Five pairs of eyes and couldn't locate

4 pairs of eyes and did not find. Do not think it is there.

Had a good look but did not find. Maybe next time.

As a child, I spent a little time here visiting my cousins, but never got to play here.

Find No. 1652. Found with FUF009 at 1.24pm

Heading over to South Australia for our annual holiday to see the Santos Tour Down Under Bicycle Event and staying at Mount Barker for the week.

On our way over we stopped off and found quite a few caches along the way.

Well we have got as far as Coonalpyn and decided we had time to clean out this town with the five caches around. First up was the one with a tree climb, next we go into a tunnel, then to a playground where this was our quickest find so far. With no time to dilly daddle off we went to the next one as we still had two more to find before we were on our way again.

Find # 4124 @ 1324 H

Found With Tyred n Cranky.

Heading over for our annual trip to watch the Santos Tour Down Under Bike race in South Australia, we were making a few grabs on the way there.

A super quick on the "geotour" of this small town.
the hint says it all really!

Quick find on the way to Adelaide for an overnighter. Found with FerociousFlea and Astronaut99.
Great spot for a cache, and a nice place to stretch the legs after driving up from Mount Gambier.
I wasn't aware of this park... nice!

Found on the way to Adelaide with Beaker and Astronaut99. Thanks

Found on a road trip in 40 degree heat on way to Warrnambool Victoria so why not do a couple caches TFTC

Please excuse this generic log. I am following the 2017 Australian Solo Speedway Championship meetings that are being held in Adelaide, Mildura, Undera and Kurri Kurri, and grabbing some caches along the way.
I have done so many in recent days that I cannot do them individually. Be assured that I enjoyed and appreciated your cache, and I am grateful that you have taken the time to hide and maintain the cache.

A few stops for caches on the way down south east
with Purrfect Di, Sebastbat and Alex .
A nice quick find up there just before the
playground became popular again

Final cache to be found in Coonalpyn. Had a good coffee at the BP. TFTC Left pathtag.

Always in the last place I look. Amazing coincidence, this always happens.

Found a while back with friends before we had our own account. Thanks

22.07.16 tftc no little muggles today

Found on our way home late at night. A fairly quick find as CP helped Locus and I....it was very late and we had been on the road for over 15 hours so we were tired, but still keen to clean out Coonalpyn!!

Day 3 of 3 - Found whilst on a road trip with CPwanderer and Locus Cache from Adelaide to Wedderburn, Victoria. The aim of the trip was to attend "A Day Out in Wedderburn 2016" all day caching event (TICK [^] ) and then enjoy the Evening Meal event (TICK [^] ).

During this weekend we found some fun and creative caches and caught up with our Victorian geofriends once again.

The funny one-liner comments flowed all weekend and my belly hurt from all of the laughter!! [:o)] [^].

Unfortunately we had a minor car accident Friday night whilst traveling to Wedderburn [B)] - lost control of the vehicle (fortunately we were traveling very slowly) and we got bogged on a wet and slippery Victorian country dirt road [xx(] ...ummmm.....at the time we may have been heading toward a possible gold which we missed , however we did eventually get out of the mud after a long wait and exchanging a fair bit of cash [:(!].

I LOVE geocaching [:X], but I HATE mud [:(!]!! LOL

Thanks for the cache

Day 3 of the roadtrip with GoodLook and CPwanderer to attend the A Day Out in Wedderburn event We left early to head for home and so we didn't attend breakfast Next Year! [^]
Driving home involves a long drive and lots of caches and all up, between the first cache find at 8.38am and the last cache find at 00.36am the following day I found 36 caches and only had 1 DNF at a cache that we already presumed to be missing
We had a blast finding caches by The Old Blokes around the area and vowed that we Must come back to find more, they are so good! [^]
Muggle partner kindly drove up to meet GoodLook and I at the bottom of the freeway at about 2.30am so that she didn't have to drive for another 2 hours in order to get me home [^]

Unless mentioned otherwise, please know that your cache and log book was in good condition.

A quick find here since CP had been here before and kindly assisted as GoodLook and I cleaned out Coonalpyn tonight
The countryside is our playground when we geocache

Found it

Found it, so have plenty of others. Time for a new book.

Nice easy find.

A quick find as we make our way to Victoria for a caching holiday, once i saw the terrain rating i knew where to focus the search. TFTC

Gevonden op een koele plek gelukkig!!

Heading across to the Yorke Peninsula with Team Crackers. Last night we met up with The Drovers and Konie in Bordertown to have some fun caching and socialising, as the now larger small group joins forces and heads to the YP as one over the next few days. Today we made our way from Bordertown to Mannum with quite a few trads, puzzles, multi's and letterboxes found and logged. The log books now carry the acronym CDKM or a derivative of that, depending on whether a team member had found the cache on a previous occasion.

Thanks FamilyFunTheCoorong for placing this cache.

After meeting up in Bordertown last night with Team Crackers, The Drovers and Micaparamedic we headed off to cache the SA series and some local caches. We found a variety of different caches and this was one of them.

We signed the log as CDKM as we made our way to Mannum for the night before we head further west.

TFTC FamilyFunTheCoorong

Today, we headed from Bordertown to Mannum, with Team Crackers, Micaparamedic & Konie.
We picked up a good variety of cache hides, most of which were well placed.
With the signing duties completed, it was off to the next one.

Many thanks for placing this cache, FamilyFunTheCoorong, for us and others to find.

Had an overnight stay here so why not find a cache before retiring Nice to read about the mothers designing the area. Thanks for showing us.

7/1/16 on way to Echuca. No way on tablet to change dates or log TBs Guess it might be because I have not paid for premium app.

Found by The Boofs TFTC ☺.

Driving to Adelaide today and finding a few geocaches along the way. Found the cache right at GZ as the kids paid at the playground. Hello from Calgary, Canada. TFTC.

It took a few minutes but I got there in the end. This is the last cache on a successful week in Merxico.

thanks for the cache Family Fun in the Coorong + Team Scoobster.

Off on a mini day road trip to explore the area for some camp grounds. Was a beautiful day... and I arrived at this place with no one in sight... why? inside playing computer games prob...

Thanks for the cache FamilyFunTheCoorong

Together with Spade52 I traveled for almost 6 weeks through Down Under Australia. We made our trip, using a Spaceship rental car, visiting the 5 most southern states of Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Australia Capital Territory. Spade52 was the navigator and I the driver. We mostly avoided the motorways and mainly used the coastal and local roads that led us through many small nice and rustic villages and sleeping towns. We stayed in motels, backpacker hostels and occasionally a campsite. Luckily the weather was very agreeable during our trip with nice temperatures and very little rain. We especially enjoyed the nature, the rain forest, the wilderness, the (for us) extraordinary indigenous flora and Australia's wildlife. On our trip we visited many geocaches. All CO's thanks for showing us many interesting locations and special spots.
Today we continued our tour through South Australia towards Adelaide. On the way to Adelaide we visited some interesting sites, great views and found some geocaches. The location of this geocache was easy to find. Very nice hide and location.

Quick easy find and no muffles at the park today tftc

A group of our friends were going to stay a few days at Beachport so we decided that we would leave the day before. Give me some time to find some caches on the way.
First night at Coomandook and then on to Naracoorte and then arriving at the beach found that the others who had left that morning had arrived before us.
H'mm, geocaching can waste a great amount of time!
We were in the park so I checked in the twilight without success and still failed in the morning light.

Found on trip with geo husband. Great playground kids would love it here.

Found with geo wife on way to holiday

11:46
A nice little caravan park here, something to remember for a future trip. Using the hint we stretched our search and found the cache some 10m away from the posted co'ords. Given some of the comments we found in the log, we suspect some non-geocachers may have found the cache - offending pages removed.
Another one of the spots we were able to stop for a cache on our drive from Kaniva to Goolwa.

Our thanks to FamilyFunTheCoorong for bringing us here.

It would be great if the CO could make a welfare run to this one. We removed the pages with inappropriate comments, you may wish to put in a complete new log and return the cache to its correct location or a new location. Perhaps a check of the co-ords as well!

Quick find enroute to ADE TFTC nice spot. Who knew Coonalpn had a pool

A weekend of caching with Freddo down at the South East.

We went as far as the Little Deset National Park.

A quick find once we got to the right elevation.

Cache was found in the last place we looked, which as usual was not the first place we looked.

This cache was found using a Garmin GPSr, Montana 650t, Oregon 550 or Dakota 20. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

Made this our second find in town today, found with our youngest geoson after a slightly extended search, thanks for the cache.

We were thankful that the area was deserted when we arrived as this cache took some hunting down. We serached all locations consistent with the hint but then had to widen our search area. We finally found the cache in another part of the roof structure. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache FamilyFunTheCoorong.

Found it with CherryRose on our way to Bordertown for two days of geo caching. TFTC TNLNSL Well hidden.

Found it with Beary Organised good hide took awhile need to be tall. TFTC SL TNLN

Camped nearby, and easy find, but definitely a children's playground as those seats need more support for adults, the builders were rather sparse on the uprights. Tftc

Found whilst exploring the area
Cool spot, great cache

Heading to Adelaide for a surprise birthday party and had to stop and make some finds along the way. So often i am in a rush to get to the city or home and just have to drive past...
Strangely every page has a name on it.... but the kids put it back
Thanks

Suscoe's 7th find of the morning.
A delightful walk in here, all quiet.
A quick find and sign.
Thanks to FamilyFunTheCoorong.
Nice to see this great bit of community work.

Found by Mary & David, at 1110. Great to have sunshine, and the temperature is warming up nicely. Found in the second place we looked. Our thanks to FamilyFunTheCoorong.

Quick find on the way hope from JLWE at Mundulla. Nice Cache. Thanks FamilyFunTheCoorong.

Quick find on our way to Ballarat.TFTC

Nice quick find while travelling to JLWE

Picked a good time and day to look for this one. Was fairly sure we knew where it would be and soon had the cache in hand.
Thanks.

Found It!
After searching every other beam in the structure I found the cache in the last place I looked. Thankfully no kids around here today!

Heading out to the Mount for a week and picked up a few caches along the the way.

Found on our travel to Torquay for a week of rest and relaxation and caching.

Very, very accurate co ords for this cache find. A nice spot with lots of facilities in the area. Great.

The playground was not in use so I quickly found the cache just where I knew it would be. I think a muggle may have found it too going by the log entries but all is well otherwise

After 8 days on a road trip with the bogonghazy's, it is now time to head for home. We found over 1000 caches in the short time and passed milestones of 9000 finds, 2000 finds and 320 in one day. A really terrific time with good company, quality caches and great scenery all made this for a holiday to remember.
Many thanks to all the SA cachers who placed the many finds that we had that gave us so much enjoyment

This one is tucked nicely away but good co-ords made a quick find. Thanks FamilyFunTheCoorong

Sadly today was the day for Sorceysal, Tess the geodog and I to drag the caravan back to Bacchus Marsh after an amazing week in this wonderful cache rich state. We decided to do as many caches along the way without diverting too far away from the main roads.

Camped here after the mega last year, thanks again FFTC, nicely tucked away

After doing the oval cache we decided that a bit more exercise would be good and kept walking. Good coordinates made this a quick find. We noted the excellent amenities for the caravan park and filed it away for possible future visits. TFTC.

[green]Find 4 for the day & Find #5374 at /A.D.r1515...

Found this whilst en route to Melbourne after House Sitting in Virginia S.A... Grabbing some caches as I made my way home was a great way to 'freshen up & Stretch the ol' Legs' ... A cool night to be out & about but happy to add some smilies to break the trip...

A bit of a stroll, a bit of a search, made the grab, stamped log & replaced...

My sincerest thanks to FamilyFunTheCoorong for the effort gone into this cache... I may not have 'seen' the area at this time of the night but I appreciate your hide..

Day Two of the WA road trip with BettyBoo3747. Slept in then hit the road at Bordertown. Did the odd cache to Murray Bridge for lunch, then the Tracks series. Drove to Adelaide via Eagle on the Hill.
This is a very busy play area, fortunately not when it is all a bit soggy from last night's rain, and a very cold wind is howling. Didn't worry us because we were under shelter!
Thanks, Robmc.

# 7524. Robmc and I are on day 2 of our journey westwards and we were a little worried as to how the day would be after some steady rain in Bordertown overnight. A fine day but extremely windy and cold. A total of 23 caches for the day before arriving in Adelaide.

Hopped out of the car and over the fence and the ground was extremely damp after a decent fall of rain overnight. And the wind, so col when I was hoping for a sunny, mild autumn day. Soon tracked down the cache but had trouble finding a good spot to add our names. Lots of pages with kids names so not much room left. Might be a good time for a CO check.

Thanks FamilyFunTheCoorong

Travelling from Whyalla to Mount Gambier to watch speedway cars. Our first nights stop was here so while the others unpacked there was time to walk the streets of Coonalpyn and grab some (ALL) the caches. With some free campers nearby a quick find was needed and luckily a cache was found the first place my hand touched. TFTC

A quick find ☺

Easy find. We had help from some younger muggles who cottoned on to what we were looking for With GeoVon and mum. TFTC

A quick find. TFTC

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the Land Down Under" ...
Wonderful facilities in this little town. Just missed the pool being open, darn!

Found at 20:07 with Olga.
The log has been signed by many kids. Cute

Found on the way to Mount Gambier. Nice hide, except that the wooden seat is now broken. Hopefully a geocacher didn't doit! TFTC

The drizzle was keeping the kids out of the playground this morning
So I had a muggle free search for the tricky to find cache

Looks like every kid in town has signed the logbook
A few geocachers have too

With quite a stretch from geo- hubby, we got this one. TFTC
