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 am currently coordinating the Health System response to COVID virus so am unable to get to this one as I’m working some very long days. Archiving it as the cache has been replaced and then gone missing a couple of times.

With no confirmed finds this year it is probably time for the CO to pay a visit to this one please.

We were approached by a 'muggle' who had found the cache previously and they confirmed we were looking in the correct spot.

Our first DNF and with five pairs of eyes that have found a lot of caches it did not show it's selfc
I would like to know how weedy123 spotted it when we cannotc

Arrived in Loxton to team up with Suscoe, Phetlern and Bushfire for a few days of caching. After setting up camp we headed out to find a few in the local area. No luck here although we met up with a previous finder who confirmed we were in the right place

Five of us looked high, we looked low, we looked in, we looked out, but today there was no way we could work this one out!
We're a tipp'n it's a miss'n.

Thanks for the hunt anyway Trigger_Fish

I’m also a DNF. Looked in all the likely spots.

What a great location the River certainly looking good, it's the best we seen. It's a DNF for us, Never mind.

Easy find

Dnt at all

Looked in all the 'high' spots we could see but no luck.

Very quick find - no muggles about today TFTC

TFTC! Nearly lost the cache but a little phone magic and luck and it was back in our hands

Clever hiding spot .... which nearly became a stuck hiding place! Thank you for this clever cache!

Nice ride along the quiet river in the late afternoon. Previous log helped and the bike was used as TOTT, TFTC!

Almost couldn’t find it. But did. Great hiding spot!! Thank you

Great to see these picnic areas dotted along the river. A well planned out town! The weather perfect for exploring. And indeed the island could be seen from here! A sneaky hide at gz made for a bit of a search. Thanks for highlighting the area and the hunt.

After an extensive search with team 4Moule the wives were unable to find the cache. Mr 4Moule joined the search and his added height gave us the result we were looking for. Log book signed and returned. Pretty popular spot down here this morning.

Perfect stop for lunch. Enough room for the caravan, mini cacher chased the ducks and other various birds, collected feathers and there was a cache! TFTC.

Travelled up to NW Victoria with feathertop to spend the next 3 days caching in the area. She proved an excellent driver and companion while I was the passenger. We tackled many caches along the way before arriving in Loxton to prepare for our big day tackling the On Your Bike series.
All the caches were found successfully and in good condition.

This one proved a challenge. We thought we knew where it could be but had to get a TOTT to be sure. YES!
TFTC and the lovely view Moneydork

We were pretty sure where this one was but the tott was retrieved to make sure. Great to get this one on a quiet Friday evening. Thanks moneydork

Grabbed this one while out on a drive from our nearby campsite. Great views from here, too. TFTC

Great

A gorgeous afternoon. TFTF.

Like others, we had trouble retrieving this one, but eventually had it in hand, just as a passerby offered us oldies assistance. Was he a local catcher? Don’t know, but we appreciated his offer, even if not needed. TNLN. Thanks Moneydork.

We needed our tallest person

Playing hooky from work and out today with Dunmowin to show them around and grab some caches. We hunted high and low then PAFfed, CO confirmed where it should have been and asked us to replace TFTC

Nomads travelling in their caravan around Australia. We have been on the road since July 2011 and discovered caching in August 2013. We travel with a bunch of travel bugs belonging to our sons and grand children. Where ever possible, we will maintain your cache as we travel.

Staying for the week in Nuriootpa with our friends SnappyTomCats. This week is Streak Week, Day 4.

A rather major drive to day, Nuri to Loxton, and back via Waikerie. BIG DAY. Mrs STC drove all day. It rained and was cold, we had lunch beside the Murray at Loxton and had lot of laughs.

In between waives of muggle dog walkers, we check all the obvious spots, all four of us going back to one in particular that we rather favored. However, it was empty. Mr STC rang the CO (who was in the middle of a meeting) confirming we were looking in the right spot. Mr STC offered to replace - CO accepted.

Thanks for the hide Moneydork

This took two attempts one year apart. I was determined not to let this one get the better of me. Second time around it was much easier to reach. I was too short for the original cache hiding spot.

Summerbub 31/7/19

In my time living in SA I came out for the day with gridge98 we stopped to find this one. I am only catchup on logs from last year now apologies for the late log.
TFTC

A nice spot next to the river, although the cockatoos were so noisy, cache is all good

Out for the day caching with nettieknows around Loxton, we collected all the caches in the town but the main reason for our trip was to have a look around Loxton and enjoy the area.

Thanks for the cache

Nice quick find

Tftc

Found - a few muggles about so was careful.

??

Out for a caching day with LLL51, ROMA123 and Gemini7
TFTC

Found while out on a cache day with friends. Thanks for the cache

Out for the day caching with LLL51, ROMA123 and Gemini7 picking up a few new caches that have popped up since our previous visit last year as well as a few that we had missed. [^]

A nice place for a picnic and we were very thankful for the public toilets close by.

Cache was found right where we thought it would be.

Thanks for the cache Moneydork.

Easy find with 4 pairs of eyes- such a peaceful spot on a lovely day - thank you

Beautiful

Had to wait for muggles to leave, very popular at lunch times. Not high, not magnetic and not too low.

On a trip to the area for a first birthday celebration, that just happened to be at the cache zone, a smiley appeared. TFTC.

Loved this location. Should have brought a picnic!

This cache was just sitting on the roof of the bbq area and I sought that is were it was supposed to be and it wasn’t there last time I was here. It’s not magnet so it would have just flown away the next big wind. So I have hidden it closer to its Coordinates and hope that that’s were it was originally.
TFTC

Couldn’t find this one anywhere was there for a good 40 minutes. Geodog has a good swim trying to get the ducks thou

Very hard I could not see it HARD

Looked for ages but couldn't find it.

Struggled to reach this one due to height issues but got there in the end. TFTC

On shore for a walk from the Proud Mary. This took some improvisation to find and retrieve. Cache in good order. TFTC.

Found on the way from Canberra to Adelaide! Man that was hard to retrieve. Thanks MD.

Is that it? Yes it is. TFTC

Tricky spot for me. As others have said eliminate and methodically find. Great spot if you like little corella.

Thanks Moneydork and clear skies from TeamAstro. ️ Cache the planet!

found

This was very well hidden, took some poking about to retrieve it.

Loads of cockatoos here today.

TFTC

Found it after a while... « few » possible options are available as possible hiding spots for the geocache... so you just have to go one by one till you find it! Great spot and great cache haha

Another day out finding caches while on a geocaching trip with tmann421
Really enjoying all the sites and the history we are seeing
Thanks for the placements

Another good cache found with woolwood9 today.
We really enjoyed the drive around and thanks for putting this cache out for us to find.
SL

Very nice here today - Loxton is a very nice place.

TFTC

Given up but found it on the last spot. Lucky we are tall

Bumped into brand newbies Ray_97 looking for their second ever cache. They did a brillo job in finding this one, which I was a hundred miles too short to get A great team effort. TFTC

Yay! Second one so far =)

Found It!
All the rain today meant this place was deserted except a van parked nearby that was rocking. But they were 'otherwise occupied' and didn't have time to notice me searching around. And after reading a few past logs I realised that I needed to put my hand in there and thankfully it was a cache I pulled out!
TFTC

A lovely view of the oddly named Kapunda Island was mine to enjoy,
along with the usual pesky muggles sittnig nearby
So I ignored the muggles and let them ignore me as I poked around for this pesky cache.

It took me a while to figure out which was the correct hiding spot.
The muggles seemed amused
And with the help of a stick I confirmed me suspicions that the cache was hiding there

But no amount of reaching would get me a touch of fthe prize
More stick work and at last I could touch the prize
More stick work and I got the merest bit of grip on the prize

Gotcha yer pesky little bugger

Nearby muggles looked a bit bemused as I signed the logbook and put the cache back.
There's no way they were going to find the cache themselves as they both were older than the hills

TFTC !!

Couldn't even attempt a look with so many muggles around today

Having a BBQ lunch with the family at the shelter...we couldn't leave this cache right next to us...having a pretty good idea where it was...we used a piece of equipment for elevation...
Nope!!! not where we were thinking...as we were at GZ we decided to expand our search but came up empty handed...
A quick call to the CO & a photo at GZ...it seems to be missing...which was odd being it was found a couple of days ago...replaced with permission...
TFTC Moneydork

It was very hard and fun

07.06.18 tftc cool location and great hiding spot, I’m 5’10” and no problems retrieving it

Found

Tftc! Hint, easy to find if you’re 7,3”

Did not find

Found

TFTC It was very difficult to retrieve. You have to be VERY TALL

Great hide. TFTC

A nice park, been to for a previous a cache here.
Found in the last place looked, which was not the first!
TNLNSL
Thanks

Tftc. Stayed in Loxton an extra night and found our first cache in twelve months

Gotcha !!! TFTC

Found at 1:23 PM GAFF3.
We had lunch here - again - as we were here a few years ago doing the same thing with another cache that was here. We waited until all the other muggles left and then it was a dive for the cache which required a bit of a leap of faith let me tell you
Thanks Moneydork.

All good. Your in trouble if you’re by yourself.

nope

Found while waiting for my mates to arrive on their canoes. TFTC

Our final destination for our annual long weekend kayak trip. We arrived as our support vehicle driven by allister w pulled up and he immediately started looking for the cache. I pointed him in the direction of where I found the cache last time I was here but he came up empty handed. He expanded the search and located it soon after. After a bit of a break I decided to have a look at my map for any other local caches I could find only to discover that this one is not the one I found previously. Needless to say I sauntered over to re-extricate the container and sign the log. TFTC.

Thanks for the cache

A weekend of caching with Freddo through the Mallee and Riverland.

Found quickly.

TFTC

Found the cache lid and the cache bag containing the log and swaps. No bottom to this cache.

We looked for this one in the dark but couldn't seem to locate it. The GPS was jumping around, which didn't help and there were heaps of sugar ants all over the trees.... & then the sprinklers came on & scared the life out of me! ...dampened our caching enthusiasm tonight somewhat.

A crazy one day road trip with Sebastbat , where we claimed three firsts on WH caches for the team,
visited a few other special caches along the way, showed incredible self control by driving past hundreds,
and "leaving them for later!", and even snuck our way into Mexico for a few in the bush!

Late for the recent event here by a few weeks - everyone seems to have gone home!!!
At least you left a cache! Thanks for the fun Moneydork
Nice view of the island I need to go back to.

As I'm now 3 months behind in my logging I am desperately trying to catch up and am mass logging to do so.

Staying with Mr and Mrs Moneydork for Christmas along with SEMIK and having a wonderfully relaxing time with awesome company [^][:X]
Today's outing led to 11 cache finds and 1 DNF on KiwiOzzie's cache which sucked as she is so much fun!

TNLN. SL. TFTC Moneydork

Out looking at Chrissy lights and ok look there’s a cache over there!!! Thanks heaps

Enjoying some of the fantastic scenery via caching for a couple of days, easy find with Anymules and Kiwiaussie, great view of the river and island
TFTC Moneydork

A nice easy find in the right place

Visiting the area and enjoying the caches along the river. TFTC

Found this one on my walk back to the caravan park from town. Two muggles on a tied up river boat made it hard not to be obvious.

TFTC big day out Geoing today

Out today with 2beez on a geoing mission. Firstly to pick up some interesting caches while on holidays but today's mission is #1000 for Crack'n'LeeLee!

This one was harder to find then expected so we enjoyed a nice cold beer while looking.
Taller Crackers found this, we were pleased.
#997

Attempted this one on our way out this morning but too many muggles, This afternoon was quieter. Considered a few possibilities then read the hint. Soon located cache and signed log TFTC

Found it. Kids spotted this one quickly
