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.

It's seven months since it was last found, and two months since a Needs Maintenance post.

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.

Going to be maintained or should this be archived and room made for a potential new cache in this lovely park?

A previous finder told me that I had been looking in the right place for the right kind of container. This, plus the other DNFs, makes me think that the cache may no longer be there.

I looked but couldn't find it. From viewing previous logs, I think I know what kind of container I was looking for. From looking at the hint and the coordinates, I am sure that I was looking in the right location. From considering the terrain rating of 1.5, I feel that climbing wasn't necessary.

DNF

Spent an hour in the park- no luck!

There's a new structure there. Perhaps it was was lost when it was replaced.

Dnf, wondering if it is still here.

Hmmm. Are we missing something? Searched for 30 minutes. Nothing.

We'll be back!

The GPS would not settle but we had a strong feeling what we were looking for based on clues and logs. Alas, we did not find it this time.

Searched for an hour with 5 sets of eyes! No luck today!

No luck. We think we have the right spot and what we could be looking for but no good today

Will come back in daylight

Well, after not being able to find this little bugger the other day I came back determine to find it. After looking in to different area I settle on one because of the difficulty rating of 1.5 as the other area would have needed a higher rating for sure. But after 10 minutes of wandering around and mumbling to my self. People must have taught me crazy or that I was praying. Lol
Anyway in the end it was easy I stepped on some and when I looked it was not squashed. I taught it strange so took a closer look. 'Oh golly gosh so you are what I'm looking for down here not really any where. Do the legal and returned it close to the structure for protection. Nice one. Great camo. It almost buzzed past me. TFTC

Looked and looked up and down and everywhere I could think of. I will try again some time.

Top cache! Easy climb

After doing a couple of circles and not noticing anything out of place I glanced in the right direction and there it was. Just had to wait for a quiet moment to make a grab for it without bringing too much attention to myself. Cheers and TFTC

Thanks!

Found it!

As I approached GZ my focus started to narrow down to a specific area. I spied something immediately but it turned out not to be what I was looking for. Looking around for inspiration I struck it lucky and leaped at the chance. Signed the log and visited a trackable. TFTC midmy7.

Saw something suspicious up high. Lucky my geo buddy Brewmaker is a lot taller than me otherwise I would not have gotten this one. Loved the container. Great movie. TFTC

Found with C8. Wow! How does a 1.65m tall mini geocacher like me get to it? Pretend I'm Vincent Price! Help me! Help me! CIH and lucky I've got my geotweezers too. Great job for the camo on a hot Sunday arvo in a pleasant park with muggles resting and playing. Time flies when you're having fun! TFTC. TNLNSL. #377

17:35 What is this thing that the cache is attached to anyway? I had some fun climbing it.
Heaps of people and their dogs out and about on this pleasant afternoon.

Must be a hot summer. That one's huge. TFTC

My first geocache was unsuccessful. Unfortunately, it seems to have something to do with the bin. Which is not my cup of tea

High hiding places.

Last of the series (to date) crossed off the list. Arrow jumping around an open space with not a lot of places to hide a cache so concentrated more on “attachment” ideas than co-ords. Something then caught my eye, moved closer and confirmed the camo.

The co-ords were jumping around a bit and the pin point was a little off but thanks to the hint I found GZ and had CIH. TFTC

On my way to visit a friend who lives opposite this park, I thought I'd have another crack at this one as I'd failed once before a few months ago(although it was night time then). No such trouble this time though I'm happy to say, was quite a buzz to find it-thanks for the cache!!

Yay

Log pretty hard to extract. Fun camouflage!

My second visit to this cache and time to log a DNF. My GPS takes me to between the side road and a Sewer Vent.
I have looked at this structure, the tree and a nearby sign but haven't looked into the Garbage Bin due to my concerns for personal health. Arriving home today I have looked at some photos and read some logs and believe that the next time I am here, I need to bring gloves and hand wash.
If it it is there, it's not my idea of a good hide.

This is our first geocaching hunt and no luck!?

Looked around that corner for ages and no luck

Sorry not putting my hands in a dirty bin...if that's where it is.

Decided to grab a few caches on my way to work today, to extend our "mini" streak, fill yet another calendar gap, and to generally add to our cache "found" tally. This was the 1st find of the day.

After striking out at "Waterloo 1815" I continued on to this one. Parked the geomobile in Wyndham Street and walked up to GZ. Had to take a second look to confirm what I was about to make a grab for was actually the cache, and not something nasty Made the grab and, thankfully, it was CIH. A nice bit of camo midmy7. Signed the log sheet and replaced as found. TFTC.

Find #892

Very subtle cache and even when looking at it it may have been something else.
TFTC

Great cache. The bees knees x TFTC

Very good. TFTC.

Still buzzin'

Work lunch, introduced my colleagues to caching. They're seriously hooked. Great cache. No flies on us.

We didn't really find the playground but we definitely found the cache!

Headed up to the location with Krishy and had a quick look. There was indeed something a little bit off. Had Krishy look a bit closer and sure enough, there it was!

Krishy was asking to look for treasure all day so it's good to have a bit of a streak going.

Signed nearby and returned.

Thanks for the cache!

Flies are bad around here. Tftf.

Didn't understand clue at all :/
But when something looks off.... Don't be afraid

Nice cache and quick find. TFTC

Thanks! Found with geonephew

Just found one yesterday similar as this but this one is more clever! Thanks for the cache!

The last of several caches found with Delloro this afternoon after enjoying a walk around the area caching. Minutes later a storm hit and we had no choice but to try out the beers and pinball machines in the local pub! TFTC!
Cheers,
The Hancock Clan

Our last for the day, and a frantic struggle to remove the log as the sky got ever more threatening. We made it to the local pub just as the heavens opened for a refreshing ale.

TFTC

Found

What a good hiding and cache! Today it was a terrible wet day anyway I found it. TFTH

Eww cache but I love your cache very trick thanks for leading us here

Great park and a cute/funny hide

Tftc

Down from the Central Coast with DOC-WHO and mr_roo for a bit of caching in Sydney. My GPSr kept pulling me towards a tree, but mr_roo had better luck, spotting the pesky container a few metres further along. Thanks for the hide and bringing me to this nice area.

Down from the Central Coast for a day of caching within the CBD, and organised through "C4" on FB. Todays lucky participants were BareFootJeff and mr_roo, and myself.
Distance walked was around 14 -17 km
Caches bagged were approx 23 each.
Some of the smaller logbooks signed with a collective "C4" or DW, BFJ, MR.
Pleasantly surprised by our travels throughout several suburbs once again. From birds, flowers, tags, sculptures, graffiti, trees, refuse and even discarded sex toys, yep I did said that Fun day, fast pace by mr_roo, gonna have to drug him next time...
Till next time !...

Had us Buzzing for sure !

Out today with DOC WHO and BarefootJeff. I found this one while the other two were off looking nearby. Very straight forward TFTC

Frightened me but after venting my spleen had the cache in hand thanks for the hunt

Found with Kitty, a nice quick find on a rainy day

This cache appears to have been removed with the object upon which it was hidden, some time in the last couple of months. I've replaced it today. Happy caching!

Although the GPSr wanted me elsewhere, the hint suggested an obvious place, but I had no luck there, so after about 15 minutes I gave up.

I found a rusty nail but nothing hanging from it. It may be gone.

Compass takes us to the grass

I was going to save the Midmy's series for the school holidays but I'm here now (how could I go past an unfound cache when I'm already within walking distance?). Hint lead me straight to the GZ and based on other logs knew the approximate height to be searching. C was IH in minutes and I finally found a use for the tweezers I'd packed in my caching kit. Signed, replaced and flew off to my next cache.

Found this one with Jendid. Well she spotted it! We went round and round the gz! But she spotted it OK! Dear CO, watch out for it may fly!
TFTC midmy7 and Arwen21

Well this took way longer than it should have at night with torches and Alpha Delta Indigo. GPS all over the shop, but eventually had the little blighter in our net.

Such a nice neighbourhood park in the middle of the city. Mrs Gaztek used to play Aussie Rules here. Funny container in an appropriate place with a funny clue. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

He shoots....... He Misses!!!!!!

Clever! Can't find this one on the fly!!!

Nice little cache well done tftc

TFTC. Found with TeamPaulsen following dinner at The Abbotts Hotel. A rare flight with no ointment .

Lucky it wasn't windy else we'd have been blown away. A lovely little hide for a stunning Sydney morning. Playground was packed. Cheers!

Tiny and fabulous. Shorties need a leg-up. Thank you

Love these ones TFTC

Found after searching the wrong area for a little while. After sat av settled it took us right there. Cool camo. TFTC

Excellent little cache! Seen photos of similar but this is my actual first ... TFTC!!!

Quick find at a great park but should have brought a dog to fit in with the others.. Muggles and their muggle dogs abound .. Had a little difficulty with the log - tweezers would have been handy .. SL TFTC

This is was a hard but with some sharp eyes and good posture you could get it

Really hard to find it sort of looks like an insect

No luck with this one today. Looks like we will need to bring some height-adjusting equipment for the next attempt.

Felix the spy agreed to move the cache to a slightly more salubrious location nearby.

Almost missed it.
Very clever cache

For quiete some time now we're looking for an apartment / a property in Sydney (and it's surrounding) and found this cache after a viewing, thanks for it

Luckily my pocket knife has a pair of tweezers which were handy to get the log out.
What I had trouble with was winding it up tight enough to get it back in!
Thanks for the excuse to go for a sunny Sunday cycle Midmy7

Easy find..however getting the log out proved a little tricky!

Not entirely unpleasant, but perhaps it wasn't full. No pen, so photographed the log. TFTC!

Found (accidentally sent note instead of find!). TFTC!

Nice quick find where it lies not above and around.. must not be warm enough today. Tftc

Not a nice one to finish the series. But it was quick.

Why the different name format?

TFTC.

26/4/15. 12:15 PM. Cache #2456. Streak day #308. I was already in Alexandria for the Please Come Clean CITO event, and I came here for a quick look at about 9:45. Couldn't find it, so I headed off to the event which was attended by a couple of finders of this cache. I asked one and got confirmation that it was in the place I had looked.

After the CITO, I returned and felt around a bit better. Aha - last person before me must have pushed it a bit far last time. I got hold of it and walked to a dry spot under a tree to open it and sign log. Then back to GZ to replace it. After cleaning my filthy hands, I headed on to my next target. "Give a fig" in Queens Park. TFTC.
} : )

A park I get to drive past relatively often for work, but parking is certainly easier in the area on a Sunday so despite it not being very nice caching weather I thought I would stop by after our CITO event in Sydney Park. I had overheard enough that it was a quick find, though a bit lucky it is still findable with a large fallen tree right next to it. Thanks midmy7.

The sub-tropical cyclone that hammered Sydney this week has knocked over a large tree within a few metres of the GC. Still managed to find it!

I'm glad I was not looking for the GC when the big tree fell down near GZ.

Eeeewwww! That was the most disgusting cache we've ever done! Make sure you stand upwind and pack some hand sanitiser. Tweezers would be helpful to get log out. TFTC .... I think

Joint (FTF)
Well I was sitting at home writing some emails when this one popped up in my in tray. So I decided to go for it. A fast paced walk to GZ and on approach I see two cachers still completing the signing duties. So I quick get over there and get my name on the list with Rheneas and EDF. TFTC

I'd been stuck at home all morning on work conference calls and was heading into the office late. As fortune would have it, the train I was on was approaching Redfern station just as the cache publish notification came through. I scrambled to gather my belongings and disembarked just in time! Noting that I was still about 800m away from GZ I walked quickly in the direction specified by the GPSr. As I walk, I remembered that Equipe des fous worked fairly close by and I wondered if he'd seen the cache publication and was on his way too?

I didn't have to wait long to find out: as I crossed the road to the park, I saw the familiar figure of Equipe des fous hovering over an object which was suspected of hiding the cache. After a brief discussion and hesitation we started searching the object and Edf put his hands on the cache first. We signed the log and were just about to replace the cache when another familar figure wandered up. pk1965 also signed the log and Edf generously allowed us both to claim a joint, three-way {*FTF*} @ 11:10am. The competition for FTF in the inner west is pretty fierce! TFTC midmy7!

My office is only a 5 min walk from GZ, so I had a go at getting FTF (rare for me). I got there first and had an initial scout around when Rheneas turned up. I explained my hesitation at looking too closely at the hint object but then thought OK for a FTF I had better look again and found the cache. As we were signing the log pk1965 turned up so we had a triple FTF! A short geochat later was interrupted by someone wishing to use the facilities - there is a pole a few metres west which may be a better location?
