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.

With nought but 6 DNFs, 1 Needs Maintenance & 1 Write Note since June 2018 … none of which have been responded to ... & a CO that has been inactive since August 2018, I believe this cache should be archived.
It's location in a cemetery garden was probably a poor choice to begin with.

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

spent 5 mins looking before seeing the previous DNFs in the logbook. Considering where we were, we decided to stop looking.

Trying to get a couple of caches while out and about. Just my luck to pick one that's not in evidence today.

Add my name to the no luck here gang.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Arrived today to find several people milling around outside the nearby office & several vehicles parked close to GZ.
Considering that the last 3 logs have been DNFs we decided it would not be the best idea to set about searching here especially as there are plaques set so close to the garden.
We respectfully left for more comfortable surroundings.

Cheers

Not a living soul here on oz day. No cache found

no luck today

I was stumped with this one! There were a surprising number of gnomes near the rocks. I inspected a few but as there was a freshly dug plot with garden chairs out and an increasing amount of traffic I thought it best to move on and search another time. I might even bring flowers for the grandmother in law (may she rest in peace).

Out with Geopartner to find some caches in the area today.
Had previously found the cache here so knew what I was looking for.
A nice quick find and signed the log. Returned to where we found it.
Don't know if Gnomes are deadly as he has not got me so far and I have evaded him twice.
Lovely kept place.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Garfield69au All good with this cache

Felt a little weird digging around a memorial garden, but when I found it I realised that a little more experience would probably help me out here. I maaay have dislodged a few things that I should not have.
Log book is all wet and soggy so I couldn't sign it

I didn't realise the old Gnomes R. Deadly was archived and never noticed this one published. Indeed it was just on six years ago I found the original - I sure hardly remember it at all. Today though on a walk around Hemmant Quarry Reserve and we spotted this icon nearby. I noticed it must be a new iteration, so why not go grab a smiley?

Nobody around today as we wandered in. Between the two of us, I didn't even need to navigate! But we came to a likely area and began looking. The geocache didn't immediately leap out at us though did make sure to respectful of the place. There was certainly no need to disturb anything.

A few peeks at recent activity and I had an idea what we were looking for. Sure enough, a few moments later had the beast in hand. Lovely. All in pretty good condition here, and with that done, back to finish our walk. Thanks for the geocache, Garfield69au

Quick stop off as I was driving past to take the car for a wash I had found the original here so I thought I knew what to look for even though the cache is different it was still a fun find! Thanks for replacing

I still remember finding the original, so no GPS required. All good here, deadly quiet today .

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache **Garfield69au**, this makes #4736. Discover our TB

With Aussie Pete, found the original so checking if the replacement is as deadly as the first.

It is!

Well hidden but obvious when U find it

Note to self: When arranging a meeting point make sure the map is zoomed in sufficiently so you can see just exactly where your chosen rendezvous spot is located. An early morning meet up at a cemetery is a odd choice at the best of times but due to recent circumstances was a mortifying choice on this occasion (something I should have been aware of considering I had found the precursor to this cache). Battling embarrassment and sporting a redder face than a baboons bottom, we still managed to locate the cache under the eerily watchful gaze of the nearby guardian. TFTC

Despite being supremely jetlagged and operating on about 2 hours sleep, it was a quick find here... mostly because I had seffnjarah with me, who had found the original and made short work of the replacement. Good thing too, as noted by previous finders some of the occupants of GZ have a pretty creepy gaze!

Popped in here today between appointments thinking I might get the second place but nope, the locals are all over it like a seagull on a chip! Good to see it back, though Im still not keen on its little friend, something about those eyes...

Quick easy find here, had previously found the other one close to the same spot. Signature left and cache replaced where found. TFTC

Joint first to find with wmg187

LOL ...
Well done on the FTF!
No contest from us as we are too far south.

*FTF* with bac2 bay6

Lying in bed on my holiday quietly reading a book and ignoring the kids I had a text from the hubby! “Go get it”. Scrambling into clothes that I can wear out of the house and throwing the youngest geokid into the car we headed off to try and beat the other locals. A quick stroll to ground zero and cache nearly in hand to have the Back to Basics team roll in . Had a great chat and joint first to find was signed. Said hello to my dearest here and headed on home.
