7.15. Archive or 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.

It seems that this one has gone so I will renew next time in the area.
Thanks for those who have reported it missing.

We found what looked like the obvious spot at GZ, but no cache.
Sent a photo to the CO.

Found likely spot evidence of previous search but not cache

Found likely spot for cache, but no cache found with princess_dp.

May have to take this off line if I have another DNF.
It shouldn't be that hard as it was under a small pile of stones.
Will wait for another DNF and then act.

GPS was all over the place so searched a very wide area but it beat us, so a DNF from us. Thanks anyway. 2BluFish

No luck for us today searched for a while with no luck, most likely a cache blindness moment, another look on a future visit till next time TFTC

Lovely cool morning for a walk. Tftc

I was lagging 80 m behind Geohubby and he walked straight up to it without GPS. Signed log, left 2 swaps, then continued walking around beautiful headland.

Nice views from here and a good hide TFTC

Couldn’t find

Took a bit of searching but we found it with a widened search.
Also saw some dolphins as a bonus.TFTC

This was our last find for the day. As the light was fading we took torches with us on our walk to the headland and this cache.

As we walked we noted how close to the edge of the cliff the path is in several places. We enjoyed the variety of plants that the little path winds through. We also watched the sunset and the light on the water. This area is a beautiful recreational asset.

The light had faded by the time we reached the search area. We had to expand our search area before being attracted by an interesting formation. On closer inspection a cache container was uncovered. Contenrpts were in good order.

After signing the log and returning the container to its hide we began an interesting journey back to the carpark. Little paths along the edge of a cliff in the dark all in unfamiliar places do cause elevation of ones heartrate.

Thanks for this cache MalanDi and for a pulse quicking experience.

Good day for a walk, saw some dolphins along the way.

Stunning spot, with lots of dolphin pods to admire. Thank you

Found today whisht on our west.
Confer with diggers09 that GZ is about 8m out. TFTC

Well what an amazing place, it's a geologist dream, whilst making my way to the cache, discovered patches of petrified wood, tree roots turn to stone, discovered what to be a fossil, not sure it looked like petrified bone, with noticeable joint spaces. Then whilst taking a photo a rock that had been snapped in two due to erosion, looking at the photo a face appears the photo, clearly an optical illusion. The co-ordinates was out, taking me a while to find the cache, found at my listed co-ordinates, claimed the find and signed the log, thanks. On my return also found a memorial dedicated to two lads tragically, losing their life to a boating accident. Such a painful loss to their family and friends. Thanks for this geocaching experience. Our last cache for the day.

Geeat scenery. TFTC.

GPS was playing around - about 7m off - a quick search at the usual places located the cache.

Soli Deo Gloria

I logged this under the wrong cache, so logging now on the correct cache.

I only needed to make my way from Streaky Bay to Ceduna, but instead, I headed south for some caches before eventually heading north. I enjoyed the walk out to GZ with the sun shining and a nice cool breeze coming off the water. I looked around for quite some time. I expanded my search zone, especially in one direction where I thought it would be. In the end, it was in the exact opposite direction. I don't know why my GPS was out by so much, but it said 10 metres when I finally found it.

I kept my eye open for dolphins, but alas, none were spotted today. My thanks to MalanDi for the cache.

Great views and a pod of dolphins ...very happy. Tftc

What an awesomespot

A&N. Had blown a few metres away. Good find by Amelia. Returned to spot.

Tftc fabulous spot in time to spot a pod of dolphins. One of my favourite spots

Magic place- bit windy today

Nice Spot

A quick find while out on a family walk to the point. Lovely area, we enjoyed our 4 day break in the bay, fishing and relaxing. TFTC.

Found with relative ease with the geolady and an audience of dolphins. Lovely walk.

Found this cache while doing the clifftop walk in Venus Bay. Was a bit unsure about where the walk was taking me as the undercutting of the cliffs was quite noticeable. Anyway - nice walk and nice cache. TFTC MalanDi

Walked out with freddo and firesafe and saw dolphins and birds and pretty scenery. Fav point. Thanks MalanDi

Headed over to Maralinga for a week, grabbing caches along the way. TFTC.

You can't drive to this location any more. A stroll and we were there. Some dolphins were swimming the channel.

found it! very nice place with an epic view! TFTC

Nice quick find TFTC

With work bringing us back to the west coast we are staying at Venus Bay for a few days, this one is the first for today and i must say will stay in my memories for a long time, after we signed the cache we spotted something over to the left of us, we weren't sure if it was a ruin or tourist information bay so we wandered over to it, upon arrival we discovered it was a memorial built for the 2 young fisherman that lost their lives here, very interesting reading the information plaques here and all the work that went into getting this memorial here, Tomorrow is the 5 year anniversary so i expect a lot of people will be visiting this memorial as these 2 young blokes were very loved and well known around here after speaking to some locals, I hope the day i move on i get to go the same way these young blokes did, doing what they loved to do. Rest In Peace young fisherman. Thanks for the cache and bringing us here.

Found it without the app

TFTC Thank you for going to the effort of hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.

What stunning views, all along the footpath and at the cache. Thank you so much for placing the cache here. TNLNSL. TFTC

Thanks!

Hi there MalanDi.

We found your cache **"Find and Sign Venus Bay Entrance( south head)"** at 9:51:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 15677).

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour around some of the Venus Bay area today, especially the walk around the cliffs to this spot.. We found a wide variety of container types amongst our 6 caches (& 1 DNF's) today. Thanks for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Found as we holidayed on the Eyre Peninsular. We loved the walk, and the views, around the peninsular. tftc.

Found it. Lovely view!

Hooray !!
Back in Venus Bay for a bit of the day
And this cache was a great excuse to set sail along the cliff tops to find a cache

I am loving the EP summer weather
Does it ever get hot here ??
Not today, with a cool sou'wester blowing off the ocean [^]

At GZ I checked out a likely hiding spot and found no caches [:o]
Another nearby hiding spot produced the goods

TFTC !!

Great place.

Great spot. Cache in excellent condition.

Great view fairly easy walk TFTC cheers

#2309 - Found easily just before sunset. We were hoping for a FTF but two other had signed the logbook before us. We then had our fish and chips dinner here watching the waves roll in as the sun set.
Great walk all the around the circuit.
All part of the fun and challenges on our AroundOz bicycle tour via the highest peak in each State and mainland Territory.

Many thanks to the cache owner MalanDi for establishing and maintaining this cache.
Most worthy of a favourite for its location.

Found this great cache - sadly second person to sign log. Many thanks for this cache with wonderful scenic views.
