No response from the owner within the last 28 Days and as per my original note this cache has been archived.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).

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.

3 pairs of eyes went foraging for this one today. Unfortunately it would appear that it is missing. Found a couple of likely places but they were empty. Lovely park though and enjoyed the drive to visit.

May I respectfully suggest maintenance is required.

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

Bit hard at first but found it in the end....

May need checking on by CO.. great little park and location.

Had 4 sets of eyes looking but came up empty handed. Interesting palm and pawpaw growing.

Attempted to find this Cache but after been in the park for approx 2mins I got yelled at by a indigenous lady across the road asking "what the F***k are you doing hanging around these parts white fella"

I think it might be a idea to move this one due to the neighbours around the park.
This issue might be the reason no one's uses this park.

This might be the reason no one uses this park. Also might be a idea to possibly move the cache.

Out for the day with the geo grandie. She is 4 now, I have not seen here for just over 2 years. She has cached with her geodad, Joe_m in Brisbane, so knew what to do. Bella put her hand on the cache first. Thanks Sinclair Family

The container still remains but seems to be completely empty. Lady across the road doesn't seem too happy with people coming to this certain park. May have to either change location or continue replacing the book.

Found an empty container that looked like it was the cache, pul a log sheet in and hope that it will not be distrurbed again
Thanks for the cache

Very pleasant little park.

TFTC found while travelling around Australia Rockhampton is a beautiful part of our country

Prospectpete 17/10/2016 found and in good order.

Lost my GC cherry with my fiancee. All in good order thanks for the micro adventure. Did not take or share tokens.

Found it yay thanks madhouse

Found it after it was replaced. Nice hiding spot

After a day at the Gardens nearby we swung around past the airport to see the bug military choppers that were in at the moment. We grabbed this cache, dried it out, replaced the log and cache ready for the next finders. all dry now.

We found the broken cache container and replaced both it and the log. This cache is now full of cool trades, a nice dry logbook and a pencil. Happy hunting.

Double checked after troopy's log definitely still broken and empty. Owner needs to visit.

Found a damaged and empty container???
Owner may need to check...

Found it TFTC

Found a container but couldn't be certain that was the cache as empty and all dented. Went with o0mozzy0o and looked all around but couldn't see anything else.

Found what was thought to be Cache, but was empty/damaged might have to have the owner check.

Had to wait out a few muggles. TFTC cheers

Nice easy cache to find while I'm visiting Rockhampton. Tftc

A friend dropped off this TB for us.

Dropped off a travel bug in this one

Cache was out in full view, hid it better in same spot.

One of only three caches found today as we leave Rockhampton and head inland. Mr Beetle grabbed this one while I made breakfast. A police car at one of the houses certainly had the neighbours out and about. Good thing was they were too busy watching what was happening there to worry about us. Thanks.

Was so easy! Covered a bit more so it was out of plain site:)
Was fun though

Found it

Ok

A little tricky but junior geo found it easily tftc

My first cash in Rocky, my first cash in QLD, my first cash in Australia. cash was exposed. I try to cover it better. TFTC

Found while visiting my father in hospital

Dululu to Rocky..
We have set up camp at Gracemere, been to Rocky a few times but still some more caches here to find.
A very quiet park today, found a good sneaky cache.
Thanks for placing this cache Sinclair Family

A last minute cache en route to the airport for my flight back to Brissy. All nice and quiet when I pulled up, although I was conscious of the streams of windows across the road from GZ...

I strolled over to the obvious hiding spot and spotted the container immediately on arrival. A quick scan around, then I dived in to retrieve the cache. While tucked behind the tree, I quickly sorted business out and tucked the cache back in place... [^]

To avoid too much suspicion from any neighbourly onlookers, I took a casual stroll over to a couple of other trees and "assessed" them briefly, before heading off...

Cheers Sinclair Family.

On our way to the airport this arvo we took a slight detour to grab this cache. Was a nice quick find as it was very easily spotted just lying there.
We replaced where found and added a bit of cammo.
Thanks for placing the cache Sinclair Family.

Quick find by 'F'. TNLN SL Thanks for the cache.

easy find but at first we thought it was rubbish and were going to collect it to throw away later, then we noticed the geocache in the bag.

Good hiding spot.

Easy find, TFTC

Easy find on a casual caching afternoon. Cheers

Really liked this one. Probably looked a bit suspicious to muggles if they saw two girls huddled in a park in the middle of the night Tftc

TFTC!
