No response from the owner within the last 28 Days and as per my original note this cache has been archived. If you wish to replace it please submit a new cache via [this link](https://www.geocaching.com/play/hide).

No owner attention.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm 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, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

After the recent DNF’s I checked on this one today. I couldn’t find it where I previously found it suggesting it’s missing unless it’s got a serious case of cache creep.
As it's a special container could the CO replace otherwise it needs to be archived.

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

A string of DNFs and will add another to that list. Damn

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Unable to find this cache so it may be missing.

Can't find van you please check if it is still there

Is this cache still in play?

In need of maintenance

Couldn’t find and going by comments needs repairs

A fun find. Cache has had better days though. Log book full. Thank you C&M+B&B for the cache.

Fun find, but very hard on to open.

Found it but ants made a nest inside it

Tftc! Fun hide but the container is messed up. Didn't sign the log and stuff coming out of the bottom.

T4TC - Container is broken, base has a hole and puzzle does not work anymore. needs maintenance

TFTC!!!

Smaller than your phone, shape of a VB can. Good luck!

Found, hard to open though

T4TC - Puzzle was a little stiff. But we got there after a while. Log is fyll.

Bit harder to get too, looked like it fell from its spot. Placed back Cheers B2B

It was underneath the bridge, hard to find

Out for a lovely group outing with 19pjr79, geo_possum, jezza_thegeokid, oftnexplor, Phoenix freaks, maunder84 and mr & mrs choppersrule. Log was full, needs maintenance TFTC

TFTC

Easy to find in a scenic spot, with Sobingtons, no log with no spare log to replace. Puzzle also needs some TLC.

#180
Found

Found with Geofriends. Log is too full to sign so we took a photo.
Tftc

Added extra treasure to make this one great

Third find for the day

Lots of walkers, joggers, bike riders and dog walkers, all out for the lovely temperature of the late afternoon. Kinda wish they were all at home when we're trying to look for a cache though! Found in between walkers, joggers etc........TFTC C&M+B&B.

TFTC - Internal part of puzzle broken and cache opens easily.

Nice easy find. Lovely spot with beautiful lotus flowers and pods in the river and creek.
Is the puzzle box broken? It opened just by pulling with no force. We left a trackable that we picked up in Melbourne. TFTC!

Forgot to log the trackable- here it is!

Lovely location but nearly slipped down into the water. Nice neat container and thanks C&M + B&B and TFTC

Some dangerous ants but pre easy

Found it. Good location and good container.

TFTC! Kids did some swaps!

Found it. TFTC.

Went for a walk along the river this evening and remembered that there were still some unbound caches along the route.
TFTC

Locking pin Brocken so opened easy. Would of been good fun otherwise
Grabbed TB

So many muggles!

Found the similar one to this on the Strand so knew what to do but this one didn't work and opened straight away. Thanks.

cool cache

found it!

Left lots of beads

Great cache. Another one to geoBoy. Tftc.

OMGosh so many people, really had to time this one right. TFTC. Dropped of a trackable.

Out and about doing some caches today. Think geopup has had enough for the day, he looks worn out...lol
Found with Choppersrule. TFTC

Anothe great track along the river i used to ride my bike along now walking with juatafan1107 and the geomut who i think is tired and wanting to go home lol T.F.T.C

Out for a early morning bike ride in the rain . On a mission to get a cache on everyday of my calendar only 181 days to go Thanks for the hide now 14kms to get back home.

Another neat location and fun container. Had just enough room to sit and sign the logs, while enjoying somewhere different. Once a bike went over though, it was back to the real world.

Thanks again C&B+B&B.......another good one. Favourite point for the container.

Smart spot Great fun.

Yes, finally another find on this trail! A shame so many caches are DNF! Anyway, still a great trail! TFTC

Day 3 Townsville today for a week, set up in the caravan park
Today was more of the RRPT, Lovie Dovie & a few extras that we passed.
Took us along a great walk along the river & some very scenic places.
Took a while to spot the cache & then it was how to I get the log book. Very Clever.
Favourite point given
Thanks for placing this cache C&M+B&B

Cool container. Tftc

Troll alright.. Nice cache

Finding the cache was easy but that was only the start. thanks. Tip: place the swag in the inside container, it makes it easier to replace

Got this one too on our walk along this track. TFTC. Getting a few ants hiding around this container too so mind your hands when retrieving it.

Tftf

Another one during PT session. Tricky.

Out caching along the Ross River today. Quick find, but took a little while to access the log.. TNLN. SL. TFTC C&M+B&B.

Found this fairly quickly after some injury to the knee on the protruding concrete (take care) and then had to work on the puzzle - didn't realise what it was for a moment even though I'd done the other one near the city. Managed to get there although the last level is really hard to do. Signed the log and then managed to get it back together except for the last stage. I then realised that's how it was when I found it so assume that's as far as it goes.
Thanks!

TFTC...

Took a little while to find and took a while longer to undo the container as well, the contents nearly went for a swim in surprise at finally accessing it. Swapped out a battered doll for a seahorse and a bottle opener, to make it easier to re-assemble and replaced as found. Thanks for another interesting cache C&M+B&B, have not seen a container like this before.

Nice chache

Looked but could not find

Find #212

So, I decided to go for a drive this weekend.
Headed out from Mackay on Saturday and headed for Clermont.
Not enough so went to Charters Towers and stayed the night.
Done a few caches in Charters and then headed for Townsville.
Stayed the night and headed home on Monday.
Glad it was a long weekend.

Quick find, interesting container! TNLN TFTC

Combined my afternoon walk with a bit of caching. Have passed this one many times but never had a pen but i came prepared this time.
Novel cache container.

TFTC used a different name at time of find QuestAdventurer.

tftc....Log cache as tricky but have changed name

10:56:00 AM. Out riding our bikes around again before heading back to Ayr. Took a bit to find then longer to open and sign the log and close again. Great container. Thanks C&M+B&B for placing this cache.

Work canceled my job for today, which left me feeling a bit restless with a day to myself and nothing planned. So a spot of caching seemed to be in order.

It was a short walk to the GZ from Lovie Dovie 7. At the GZ, I quickly found the prize, as this is the second time this location has been used to hide a cache. The cache container was also familiar, so I had no trouble getting into it.

Took and left nothing. Log signed. The cache container and contents were found to be in excellent condition. Finding this cache has now given me a total find count of 1343.

Thanks for the Cache hide C&M+B&B

Nice cache bit tricky..beautiful area..

Redbacks and ants the size of my fingertip live here too! So many places to hide, but didn't search long because I don't want to stick my fingers where I can't see. Have been bitten before doing that. So unless it's confirmed that it's not in one of those nooks or cranny's where the eye can't see, I will log this as a miss and probably not try again. I'm not that committed that I'd risk a redback bite.

What a beaut cache we loved the 3D key to open well done team lovie dovie

Number 2 on my list for today!!! TFTC

Thanks again great hide

Nice work!
Fun puzzle!

Long work drive to the Lynd and back today. After dropping of my work mate at his hotel I checked my private email - yay! 2 new geocaches in Townsville!!
And the first to finds where still up for grabs - even better!
Set course towards GZ, got to use a favorite caching gear for the first time in Aus - my foldup bike.
Rode across the bridge then along this beautiful park, clear where to look, and no muggles around. Found it quickly and an empty log too!
An FP for the container and location, thanks for the cache
