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.

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.

I used to work at the mechanic workshop across the rd for 8 or so years, towards the end of my time there I seen people hunting around (knowing there was a cache there years ago) went and checked my phone and seen there was a new one there, but never got around to getting it, lately iv been getting back into the swing of things and grabbed this one with my brother (who actually found it) good fun one to help get started again, tftc

Was starting to question the last finder until I noticed the log wedged into a crack. Correct that the container is gone but as the log is really good weather proof paper with still plenty of room, the cache log is still solid. Replaced the cache log where found. As there was also plenty of discarded photos around, I'll assume that these probably belonged to the muggle who took the box. Either way ... TFTC.
 
26-Apr-16
Thanks, first one on our list! I'm sure many hours of fun will be had searching for these
 
15-Apr-16
Easy

Yay go team. Nice and quick.

Quite a easy cache to find, I think it has been removed from its original place. There was no container just the log.
 
14-Apr-16
No box but i found it
 
12-Apr-16
Found the log paper floating around. Look out for wasps!
 
12-Apr-16
Nasty wasps still hangin about! Once u find the wasps nest go other side:)

Even before we read the cache description it was apparent where this cache would be located. Our search was slightly hampered by the presence of two paper wasp nests on one side, but thankfully they were quite docile and the cache was in fact easily accessible from the other side. I was quite pleased to spot this simple camouflage.
 
02-Apr-16
Upon approach of this cache, it was obvious the location of this cache. Finding the cache on the structure proved a little harder but once again rassilon256 had the cache in hand while I was searching elsewhere. TFTC!

M@m@s 500 th find and site of his 1st find.

28-Mar-16
Had to get my tiny friends help to get it! TFTC
 
28-Mar-16
Little bit of night sporting with evil wasps and cockroaches
 
26-Mar-16
Finally conquered the evil wasps nest (actually - not quite. Sent Geohusband to battle the wasps!) Happy to finally find cache where i suspected. TFTC!! A very happy find! - No trackables unfortunately.
 
25-Mar-16
Our first one we found, so exciting !
 
25-Mar-16
This is a tough one for me. I have scaled jist about every inch of this one but know that there's one final place i need to venture - beyond the scary whasps nest perched on top of the wheel. Just need to gather some guts to sneak amongst the nasty whasps! I know the cache is beyond there. I can feel it in my bones!! One day!! Havent given up on this one yet.

Staying at Bulli and doing some caches today. Machinery caches always take time and this was no exception. Finally located and did the business. TFTC Team KK's.
 
06-Feb-16
Found with the Geokids - my advice is if attempting to go inside send the Geokids - not nice when you get stuck halfway in - came away with some new bruises. Awesome spot and fantastic bit of machinery - kids loved it. TFTC
 
30-Jan-16
Took us a little longer than we'd like to admit, TFTC!
 
24-Jan-16
Great little cache. This was our 2nd attempt...first attempt at dusk. Easier today in daylight but torch helped. Tftc.. Love it Smile
 
23-Jan-16
Found after an afternoon of Jazz at Corrimal pub. Thanks
 
07-Jan-16
Was finding this one tough, geo mother convinced geo brother to look in one more spot and bingo. found in the dark so nice and quiet.
 
07-Jan-16
Night caching whilst on holidays, almost about to give up and Geo son spots it. Tftc
 
03-Jan-16
Took ages but once I got in amongst it, didn't take too long to spot Smile
 
03-Jan-16
After looking and looking for sooo long and reading all the hints and previous logs again and again, finally the geokid fell and whilst wiping away tears..... Tardar treasure found!! Tricky tricky!!!
 
30-Dec-15
Took quite a while to locate, no trackables in the container, the CO should advise all the owners of trackables that they are missing. Found while in the area finding cache's to try to achieve Wazza9's goals he had set himself for 2015. Thanks to Team KK's
 
30-Dec-15
TFTC,
Today is all about numbers. I am trying to achieve 3 per day for 2015.
Visited trackables.
 
24-Dec-15
Found with Lance91 & Nobu on our second go! Well hidden! TFTC
 
24-Dec-15
Tftc, interesting night cache, feel around for it! Found with Davaura Inc & Nobu Smile
 
02-Dec-15
Had to PAF for this one as StumbleTrip in a wiggle skirt scrambling over the great historic hamster's wheel was proving to be incredibly frustrating. If I just had've tried to do the rounds inside I would have found it. Big thanks to mizmaz for helping me out tonight. TFTC!!
 
23-Nov-15
No luck
 
08-Nov-15
No luck for me today. Maybe another time!
 
23-Oct-15
Came back with muggle friends hoping to convert, found trackable and took it. ☺
 
15-Oct-15
Thanks Smile
 
10-Oct-15
Finally!! It took about 20 minutes of searching to find, and when I found it I discovered that I had overlooked it on numerous occasions. I clearly am blind!

Relieved to tick this one off. Left a very small trackable.

Cheers
 
02-Oct-15
Found in seconds though got to admit I helped Rats find it a few weeks back but chose to save signing till I needed a quick one to tick a day off the calendar. Just glad it wasn’t muggled in the meantime seeing recent dnfs.
 
01-Oct-15
the cache is still there
 
30-Sep-15
Climbed inside, outside and got stuck on top. No idea thought would be an easy find
 
26-Sep-15
Well I don't know what I'm overlooking here, but I sure can't find anything!

I'll be back.
 
22-Sep-15
I can still remember the first cache I found in this location!! I think it wasn't more then a meter away from this one. In those early caching days it took me more then an hour to find. Today I was more lucky and only spend 10 minutes, still it can be very tricky to spot, especially if you looking against the light.

We were in the area with SES as part of Spring into Corrimal and since there was a break in proceedings we quickly ducked over to this spot where I recall there use to be a great hide.
Today with a few eyes looking we soon had it in hand.
Thanks

At last after 5 attempts it is done. So close so many times. Today found in seconds in a place I just didn't think it would be.

found it had to wait out a few mugles who where having a picnic here
took a lot longer then it should of.
 
04-Sep-15
What a top cache! A nice little park in Corrimal
 
30-Aug-15
After a good look over the object at GZ I spotted the cache in a spot not too well hidden. Placed it back a little trickier but a good look will reveal all easily enough. Vale to Lance. TFTC!

Woohoo! FTF Smile

I've been busy with Uni work lately, but after checking the maps, I found this one pop up. After 3 DNF's I was eager to give it my best shot.

After checking it out for around 20 minutes, I came up with the hide. It was just interesting checking this structure out anyway!

Looking through all the motor piece was awesome, and all the cogs and wheels! Huge wheel! Human hamster wheel.

Thanks for a bit of history and the blank log

Juno and I thought that we'd stop in here on the way to watching the Footy with my grandparents around the corner. We were surprised to see upon arriving that no one had yet found the cache.

The object in question is a winder. As to where the cache is hidden, 15 minutes of searching via torchlight has still left me wondering.
 
27-Aug-15
Found one here a few years back but look as I might on 2 long occasions today, I came up with nothing.
If it is a small it is in a very good spot. If it is a micro I might have to look a bit harder.

Found a cache here years ago so thought this one would be a breeze, but had forgotten that I don't bend and move as good as years ago - I suggest you take a torch day or night as the sun when it manages to shine gets you in the eyes and you cant see a lot of the places.
