I am archiving this cache due to the unfortunate lack of action taken to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, paches, requesting additional time.Despite ample opportunities provided for the Cache Owner to respond, their silence leads me to the conclusion that the cache has been abandoned.In such cases, archived caches will not be unarchived, and as a result, this location is now open for the placement of a new cache by another interested party.Thanks,BalayangCommunity Reviewer - Australia
Our second DNF in a row. I was hoping to be able to find this as logs from previous finders had said it was really good - and after finding the first one later in the day I have no doubt about that, but there was no sign of the cache at GZ. Perhaps it rolled down the hill?
Goose and I searched for about 30 minutes for this one calling on a couple of PAFs but still coming up empty.
Hope this one gets replaced as it's sibling was a great find a few minutes ago.

After finding Back To The Future I we were exited by the prospect of finding this one. We parked at suicide bend and followed the track until the numbers started to go up, then we went bush. We arrived at what we thought was GZ but no luck. We widened our search by up to 30m. Two PAF's and some sent pictures later, it was confirmed were were in the right place but there was noting there
We noticed quite a bit of blue tape on various trees and wondered if whoever was marking them removed the cache.
I'm disappointed for us, and the CO if it is missing.

Well…
A neat cache. Favourite point added.
I started at the quarry and the GPS indicated 150m to the cache. How hard can it be? So I took off up beside the quarry and did some Swampy caching, well all of it was Swampy caching.
Located the cache fairly easily from a distance and made my way there. Logged and recovered.
Now how do I get out of here?
Thanks for the cache!

Out today with the two GeoGSP's and decided to take a stroll to find this cache. As a teenager in the 80's, I'm a big fan of this series of movies, although instalment 2 is probably the least impressive of the three.
Parking off the Channel Highway, we walked along the track until the metres stopped decreasing. Mmmm, probably not a 1.5 terrain - so, maybe a different approach, so we proceeded up the Porter Hill track and then a fire trail - and then descended to the cache.
An excellent cache at GZ - very well-themed.

OMG, no way that is 1.5 terrain more like 2.5! Mrs W piked out but luckily had an 8 yr old grandson who was sent up the hill with GeoOpa. Geograndson returned very pleased with himself and told me all about the hide. He wouldn't know the movie and neither do we as have never watched them, but have seen clips. TFTC
Marty to Doc, Marty to Doc, come in Doc.
Yay, Found it.
I'm a bit of a fan of this series, although II would be my least favourite instalment - but I'm still adding a favourite here for a niftily themed cache
I parked the geoDeLorean below, so only a short walk followed by a shorter but sharp ascent - glad it's not really wet! I actually walked up the track a bit further so my final approach would not be quite as steep.
It's nice to find a clean trail, although CITO would have been useful for re-fueling.
Taking a sort of Star Wars approach here, and doing the series out of order!
Thanks pêaches, for the fantastic cache and the adventure.
Cheers, EPs.

Dodging rainy periods i chose the right time to go in and ascend to this hide. Yet another classic cache in this cool series was located. Once at GZ i realized i didn't have a tool that was needed - and it was most definitely needed, so back i went to the nearest store in Sandy Bay, bought a 3-pack and back i came to Sign the Log. Rain threatened to ruin the moment but i'm glad it held off.
Fave Point for this creation. I'm loving this series

As soon as i got back to 'my mode of transport' the heavens leaked again, nicely timed [^]

With this new cache still with a FTF available I decided to have a go for it after work. Arrived at the site and wandered along the track, and then turned into a mountain goat going up the hill.
Arrived at GZ and found a great themed cache.
Favorite point given
