Unfortunately, there has not been a response to the last request/s to attend to this cache, or provide regular updates. As a result it must be assumed that the cache has been abandoned by the cache owner and regretfully, the cache is now de-listed (Archived).

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained here: [**Unarchive a geocache**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56). If there are components or remnants of the cache, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Georubbish.

Without any action on this one (or seemingly any caching by the CO for almost a year), perhaps it’s time for this cache to disappear off the map.

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###

----------

Hi there Cache Owner,

It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is an issue with the placement. The cache is being temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed.

Whilst it is recognized that as a result of the current COVID19 situation, it might not be possible for a Cache Owner to just pop out and check on a cache, we still need to know that you are on top of the issue.

CO's of caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis will be given some extra time to react. Caches where the cache owner does not currently feel it is safe to maintain will not be archived in the normal time frame, as long as there is some indication from the CO. **Don't let a lack of communication kill this cache.**

#What should you do:-#
- Should the regional Health and State Government requirements allow it **AND** you feel it safe for you to maintain this cache now, please feel free to do so. Don't forget to log an 'Owner Maintenance ' log and also Enable the cache once the issue is fixed.

- **Alternatively,** what you need to do is place a Write Note log indicating a date when you you expect you might be able to attend to the issue/s.

#Please Note#
When the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment from the CO as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned and processed accordingly.

**JUST A HINT:-** In case you are not aware, there is a new Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own. Have a read about it [**HERE.**](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/07/welcome-to-the-cache-owner-dashboard/?newsletter=PM) You will find your very own dash board [**HERE**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner?utm_source=geocaching&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=COD)

Thanks for you cooperation,

Bunjil

Sticky indeed! Today is the highest humidity i've felt since Feb 1984 in Gawler [SA 5118]. It was just putrid!, everyone was complaining about it. I along with 4756379694725375869592 people HATE humidity with a passion!!!
So "Sticky" is the word of the day without doubt.
Not so re: the find coz it was found immediately and it's wee log was signed at 11:50 on Sat 1 Feb 2020.

The clues were yelling out at me,
as were the previous cache notes !!
So why didn't I find this cache a lot quicker than I did ?? Red Face
Dumbness !! I 'spose [:o)]

After a failed look at GZ,
and a retreat to the geomobile,
I realised where I'd gone wrong Razz

Back at GZ,
another quick 'duck',
not a 'spoonbill',
and the cache was spied,
a few metres away Big Grin

Not much longer later,
and the logbook was signed [^]
TFTC ...
... and a lot of unusual bird sightings in suburbia [^]

TFTC.

Yup. Nothing like a partially digested cache!

Quick find by torchlight.

School holiday fun! Cool
All this week we are together as a team, so
logs with the team Mattycat stamp include Purrfect Di, Jack, and Sebastbat
as well as muggle Alex. Some may get some initials as well Razz

Time to head home to Adelaide Smile for the Christmas / New Year's holidays Cool[^]Big Grin and some much needed R&R [|)][^]Cool with family and friends![:X]Cool[^]
Rex and I left late Friday afternoon SurprisedRazz and then slept in the bush Friday night Smile [^] before arriving at home at 7pm Saturday, having a much needed [xx(] Razz and quick shower and change [^] and then arrived at my FAVOURITE food place, [:X] Asian Central [:X], at the newer Gawler Mill premises at 8pm for an [:X] AWESOME [:X] tea with MarcusCool. We then bought more for Sunday's meals [^]Cool Even had hugs from the lovely Maria [:X]Smile who is the hostess extraordinaire! CoolCool[^]Cool If you ever get to SA, and love Asian food, you need to try this place! [^]

Over the trip only 13 caches were Smile found as it was high 40's on Friday Surprised[xx(]Twisted, still hot all night even on the bank of the Murray River at the Murrumbidgee junction and then pretty similar temperature for most of Saturday Surprised[xx(]Twisted so staying in Harry's cool insides was a better option than getting out! [^]Cool[^]

Spent heaps of time on bush tracks which I love doing CoolSmile[:X]
I managed to finish the last few caches on the Old Mail Road too, so that made me smile SmileCool
A great trip in many ways Cool[^]Smile

Luckily a very quick find in the first spot I looked SurprisedCool
Rex enjoyed his wander here and watching the birdlife Smile

Heading out from Mildura in the very good company of the Suscoe team, to seek out the reptilian geo-art, we noticed this isolatd green box by the road. Yes a quick find and we were on our way.

Our thanks 'Bradshaw Clan' for adding this cache to the gameboard.

Suscoe was out caching this morning in the very good company of Phetlern.
It was a delightful morning, a gentle breeze at times, blue skies and lots of sunshine.
We were heading out to take on the Turtles and a few other traditional caches along the way as well.
What a great morning we had with lots of fun finding caches here and there and admiring the countryside from lush and green to dry and dusty.

Thanks to the Bradshaw Clan for this hide, this was our first find of the day and the ducks watched quietly from the water.

Geoboy was quick to find it. He was impressed with the hide. Tftc

Not falling for same trick twice.
Totally discarded a cache like this six months ago only to realise later... ha
 
27-Sep-19
Out today doing maintenance on our caches well until the dust storm almost swallowed us whole all is well cache is indeed in place and co ords were spot on but I will say it was quite a windy day and the app was jumping around a little. Once we closed the app and re started it all was good
 
08-Sep-19
Well now we know why it is a sticky situation - yet another one of yours that is well themed indeed and a great idea. Saw a beautiful white heron on the water as well as a few ducks.

CPwanderer & I were cleaning up a few caches around Mildura before heading to the turtle.
Nice & quiet here for a Monday we just had to wait for a couple & their dog to move ahead of us.
We knew where to look, I wasn't expecting what I found kinda makes sense with the name.
Thanks for the hide Bradshaw Clan

Quick find by GeoHubby while the kids enjoyed spying on the ducks and other water birds about this afternoon. We had a bit of a walk around to look at the young trees, some of which GeoSon 5 helped to plant at a tree planting day when he was about 2.5 years old. Always great to see their progress and imagine how the area will look in years to come.

We could have got ourselves in a sticky situation here. We did search for a little bit and were all smiles when we did discover the cache! We enjoyed the camo that hid the logbook and soon added our names to it Thanks The Bradshaw Clan for placing this cache here! We will have to bring our bikes here and ride the track or have a bbq!
