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.

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.

Very new trees planted, can it be confirmed it's still here? We did look in what's left but there's not many spots left to hide...

DNF today

Didn’t find.

unfortunately DNF.
will be back after someone found it.

There didn’t seem many places to hide a container here. No success for me.

No luck here

Found

Easy find, looks in good condition now, ie log is dry. TFTC

Cheers. Easy find

Came past here on my way home and got a rude shock when all of a sudden I was being attacked from all angles by an army of sharp shooting well camouflaged sprinklers. I was leaping around in the dark jumping over water streams and trying to pinpoint where these watery threats were coming from. Managed to stay dry apart from my foot and I soon found the cache, as other logs said, the container needs maintenance as it’s come apart but I love the recycling, I made one like it a few years ago. TFTC!
P.s. I’ve attached a photo of one of my attackers

This cache has fallen apart and needs repairs. Thanks

Out on a night geocaching walk.
The cache has fallen apart and needs repairs ASAP.

Found with hevwalker, Moneydork and froghoppin.
It was a great night for caching, right up it started raining towards the end.

TFTC

Out on a night time caching adventure with some geobuddies...the last time I went past this park, during the day, it was full of muggles...tonight it was vacant so a quick grab was made...
TFTC TBags4U

Out for a few evening caches with Moneydork, hevwalker and Pheonix flare, seeing this one was replaces after a previous DNF we made the detour tonight, pleased to finally cross this one off the list
TFTC TBags4U

Tftc needs some glue please

It was a wet morning, but that did not stop us. Out with an Owl, Snake and a Starfish attempting a number of DNF,'s.
A quick find by a Starfish, we added a few more names to the log. Tftc

A day with a Rat, Owl and a Starfish. Someone has been watching youtube videos about making a cache. One that has not been constructed very well as it has just fallen apart. Only 3 finds by the CO and no visit to the site for 7 months, this one may very well be archived in the near future. Thamnks for the cache anyway.

The second Tuesday Trekking in a row for the Puzzled Puzzlers trying to rectify our DNF's. Today's crew was me, Doctor Owl, SA Sewer Rats and Blackadders. We had combined our collective DNF's and surprisingly at least one in the group was a previous finder so we able to assist each other. We headed out east and south of the city but as usual we didn't want to pass any caches that popped up in our travels.[8)]
Three months on from my DNF and the cache is back. A very quick find today but the glue has come apart and the cache won't survive too much rain!

**Thanks TBags4U for this cache. **

Found it boi

Easy find TFTC

I was glad Goodllok spotted this one as the cords were a bit away from this spot. Cache in need of some TLC I think
Ta

The lovely Feathertop and I met up today for a spot of caching and lunch. What a beautiful day to be enjoying some sunshine.

YAY, I finally got my caching mo-jo back here as I spotted the hide - the first for the day!

Thanks so much for the cache TBags4U!

Quick find on a second attempt. TFTC.

Good hide tyfc

Came by this afternoon to avenge my DNF from a few months ago. I've seen this style of hide before, and given how exposed it is I'm a little surprised it is still here, but sometimes that's the way it goes. Not sure it will stand up to an Adelaide winter, once the rains come given it's not sealed. Thanks for bringing me to this nice little park.

TFTC TBags4U!

Found with The X-Trailers . Quick find . Container needs repair but log dry. TFTC

Out for a few caches with Earthlight
Nice easy find first up
Cache damaged but log fine
Tftc

Mr Tardis found this one today after a short search. The cache container is in two pieces and needs to be glued together again.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache TBags4U.

Cheeky hide

Well hidden

Cache is broken but the hiding spot holds it together.
Signed and replaced.

Thanks for the cache.

Since moving from New Zealand I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches.
So far I’ve knocked off 4 of the states. VIC, SA, NSW and A.C.T
No two areas are the same here and almost every place I go is stunning. The beauty of caching is that it takes you to so many places you would never usually find.
Thank you to all the cachers out there for hiding and maintaining their caches. Especially to those who put so much effort into creating unique and fun hides.
The caches I’ve found in Australia so far have for the most part all been in great condition. Keep up the good work.

Lots of traffic here and not being a local, couldn't figure out where everyone was [?].
The co-ords had us at the picnic tables, but couldn't find the cache there and searched further afield to spot the container .
Not sure how long this one will last, as it's rather obvious . TNLNSL.
Thanks TBags4U.

We couldn't find it after a while of searching

I have replaced the cache as it was missing and it is now back in action

Its now there

I will have to check on the cache tonight and make sure its still there

Another to add to the collection.

With a previous finder and several searchers we came up empty handed today, cache blindness or missing time will tell till next visit TFTC

Six pairs of eyes, one of whom was a previous finder. [:o)] You would think we could find a cache. Nope - all we could manage to find was what some irresponsible dog owner had forgotten to clean up. [xx(][xx(]
We are pretty sure this is gone and needs the owner to look at it.[8)]

**Thanks TBags4U for the search. **

6 of us searching today and we couldn't find it

After attending an event we follow a fellow geocachers to find couple of caches on the way to our home, we searched everywhere but we couldn't find it

Found at 20:48 by Olga. We lived only 250m from this reserve, and sometimes would leave the dog there while we went in to the bakery, then maybe eat a pastie at the table here. It made me a little nostalgic for our dog, who died a couple of years ago.

I had thought of putting a cache here, but decided there wasn't really anywhere to put it, so well done in finding a spot.

Tonight we had to visit nearby, and rode our bikes to the cache and the other appointment. It is a perfect night for it.
Thanks for placing the cache.

Ez

No stich walking this reserve good coords make a easy findTFTC

Got it! TFTC

Straight to it. Nice spot.

Found on the way home from work after leaving at lunchtime.

Any excuse to go to the nearby bakery.

TFTC

Found tftc

When Owl arrived on the scene two workers were firmly ensconced near the cache. However, before she had worked out the next-nearest cache, they conveniently left and she was able to make a stealthy search for the brazen cache hide.

Tftc

Easy find

Had to wait for a muggle family to finish their lunch and then a quick find. Coords a bit off though TFTC

Best time in the morning to find these hides

Just at the end of our street... We finally made time to stop by for it. TFTC

We found this one while waiting for mum to get a coffee. We didn't have a pen

Meeting here for our car club catch up and thought "I wonder if there's a cache here?" A quick check on my phone to confirm and the container was in hand not long after. A quick sign and it was returned. TFTC.

I had thought of putting a cache here in the past, but didn't think there was enough room. The coords had me in the middle of the park, so I tried a bit to the south. A bit of green paint might help the camo.

found it

Cute little thing, not hard to find when you look around. High and low searching

Bushes do make good cammo. TFTC

Arrived to find this little park full of council workers. Was about to leave it for another day when they all packed up and moved on. Found quickly in the obvious spot. Thanks TBags4U for the hide!!

Found it yay

An interesting little cache

Went for a drive with Mr Moneydork.
Stopped here, found a cache.
A cache in the bush is worth two in the hand,
or something like that.

Early morning grab on way to work...
No one around at this hour...

Thanks

Found during a hunt just south of the city for a couple of recently released traditionals.
Thanks for the cache TBags4U

Back in South Australia for a visit. Out caching with Muff1 and having a holiday at the same time. SL TNLN TFTC

We had a need to be in Adelaide so we decided that we had time for a few caches. We were only talking to another geocacher quite recently about this style of cache container and that we had mainly seen them in Western Australia. SL TFTC

FOUND IT!! For this one look up its not on the floor. GREAT FUN

I had to wait for a while till the muggles left. Found it nice and easy afterwards. Nice little reserve.

Thanks TBags4U for the cache

Bonus when it's lunch time and there are hot pasties less than 100m from GZ. Eat hot pasty n cache - a great combination.

Thanks to TBags4U and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

With holidays and a big Interstate trip coming up i thought i'd better grab this one now before i forget it or get too busy to be able to find the time [:o)] I sped down on the deadly-treadly after work and made a quick find [^] SL at 15:55 on Mon 11 Sept 2017. An interesting little container The log within is dry [^] TFTC TBags4U

TFTC. Found on my Sunday run. Nice to have a new cache to find in this direction

A new cache on an old road. Super quick find for me.

Quick find today

Finally, being back in Adelaide after three months abroad I had a decent bit of build of caches close to home and today I decided to make a start on cleaning them up. I ended up heading out in the late afternoon, so I limited myself to just one find for the day before heading home. Once at gz a quick read of the hint told me where I should be searching and once I looked from the right angle the cache was soon spotted. A quick sign of the long and I was on my way.
Tftc

A quick easy find

This was the first one I found I looked for it and left because I gave up and then went back and I saw it and hint it is not low

It's was hard at first then I kept looking and I found it

Took a little detour on the way home from work for another newly published cache and then came here to get this one too. [^]
There was really only one place the cache could be and after reading previous logs I walked straight to it.
No muggles tonight so I was able to retrieve and sign the log without being watched.
Thanks for the cache TBags4U.

Published

*FTF* @12:50pm. Yay a new cache right near work so I rushed to find it. It took a couple minutes to find as my phone GPS was bouncing around a bit. TFTC

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi
Silver at 1305. Wow you have to be quick.....
Was heading in this general direction for cache for the day when the email notification rolled in. Quickly pulled over to check where it was and oh goody, I am almost heading there. A slight adjustment to the direction and off I went. Then got stuck at the railway crossing for 10 minutes for not 1 train but 2. Grrrrr....
Arrived in the area and parked nearby. No familiar looking cars. Great. Wandered to GZ. Hmmm, not here so widen the search area to over there. Looking. Looking. Looking. Hmmm not seeing anything. Still nobody else. Look elsewhere. Oops not in boblands here. Back to the obvious spot and Oh there it is. Open the cache, unroll the log and Grrrr, there is a signature there already. Well done allister w. Pipped at the post by 10 minutes. Trains.... Oh well, one aim achieved. Now back to work.
Gratias pro cache TBags4U

Bronze.

Recent pruning has the cache in full view. No reason for people to go here though, so should be safe ...

TFTC

Saw this one come out and saw that it had the food nearby attribute which i need another 7 for to qualify for a challenge cache. So later today when i was in the area with getnict we drove past and grabbed the cache. stopped and had a talk to anymules on the way out of the park.

Found with vj187 on a very miserable wet day. The weather has kept the muggles away. TFTC

A quick and easy park and grab o the way home from work.

Thanks for the cache TBags4U. Found on 4 Sep 2017 at 4:36 pm. Find #5065.
