Greetings from Geocaching.com
I have been looking at caches in the area that have been temporarily disabled for a while now and it looks like your cache has been under the weather for some time. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time I don’t think we can do so any longer. Therefore, I have archived this cache. If you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.
When repairs to this cache are completed and it is time to have it reposted, it will be no problem. Just drop me a note and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. You will still be able to access your cache page just as before by going to your My Cache Page and clicking the link of your cache.
I will be more than happy to take a look at your cache again to see if it is still is within the guidelines of the Geocaching.com website for cache placement and posting.
I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.
Thanks,

Spoke to Tony last week about this cache and he assures me it will soon be back in the game. Looking forward to it as I didn't get a chance to find it first time round.
Happy caching.
Happy caching.
Sorry to hear that. Just thought we'd let you know as the last visitors, that the cache was in good condition in early April and we re-hid it well when we left. We did not see anyone around at the time who may have seen us.

We visited this cache today to find the cache out in the open with the lid off and full of water. Due to this fact and that the property is about to change owners, we have decided to remove this cache. Hopefully it will be rehidden in a new location shortly. Tony & Jade.
Visited by Tony, Carole, Jefferson, Jessica and Krissy. We don't have children so we had to hire some for the day 
The kids were excited by the whole pooh experience and really enjoyed it. Even with all the good drying weather we have had recently it was still a bit squelchy going in - watch the spider web just before the barbed wire fence.
The cache is in good condition and chockers.
Left pooh soft toy, pooh pencil, pooh badge, pooh book marks and 2 printouts of some pooh outline pictures to colour in.
Took matchbox car, skipping rope, pooh soft toy, pooh stickers.
Great fun..thanks for laying the cache.

We found this one with no problem at all and this Pooh got her feet very very very wet including cobwebs in the hair! Excellent cache with plenty of good stuff for the kids to fight over, however I took nothing and left nothing tho we did take lovely family photos with the enclosed camera. Cache is in excellent condition and looked to be being sussed out by a local hawk! We went with our neighbours who I'm sure will log their entry shortly.

Found the cache OK, very wet and a few spider webs. The kids could not decide on what treasure they wanted. Good for the kids and kids at heart. We took the notebook, pencil & stickers.We left a skipping rope, a hot wheels car and a Kenco polishing car cloth. We went with our neighbours who is really hooked and has already logged this find. More theme caches would be fun now that we have found one. Took photo of the family. Wayne, Karen, Josh, Crystal.
We decided to visit Expotition to the North Pole on the way home from the Sunshine Coast. We were surprised at his condition, better then expected after the number of visits! Could future visitors try and keep the cache covered with bark or something when then rehide please. I am trying to keep the camera in there as cool as I can. We removed a few non pooh items and added a few new ones! You will have to visit to see whats in there. Zippo the travel bug came to visit for the trip.
What a great cache, loved the theme, Maryan is a fan of Pooh!. Did have some trouble with finding it as we went into the property next to the property the cache was actually on - we were misled by seeing three trees in a triangle with an arranged pile of rocks at the base of each ....hmmm we thought this must be it but it wasn't so make sure you venture further down the track...., One more piece of advice, if you are coming from Brisbane travelling north, make sure you take the SECOND deception bay turn off (there are two - the first is also a turn off to Narangba).
Took nothing from the cache left an origami angel (sorry we didnt have any POOH things with us). Cache was in good condition, ground was soggy. Andrew had a bit of fun getting caught on the barbed wire fence (OUCH!) No Heffalumps sighted AandM

AandMIt's truly amazing that the north pole turned out to be so close to Eeore's gloomy place, but we had a very sleepy Pooh who needed to be put to bed, so Dad pushed on through and took out a cap for the youngest Doherty to make room for him.
Meanwhile Mum and the kids met one of the very friendly heffalumps and chatted to Jfreak and Deb who were queued up to make their trek to the north pole.
Thanks Tony and Jade for the hunt.

Followed what could be mistaken for Heffalump tracks, but turned out to be Doherty tracks. Swapped the Pooh stickytape for a packet of Pooh envelopes. Was very good to meet up with the Dohertys and yes had a bit of a chat while the explorer returned. Piglet (Deb) didn't want to get her toes wet so stayed away from the big swamp. All in all a very good Cache, looking forward to finding more very soon.

Took the tribe out to this cache, with much tripidation from Mummy tribe member. Global warming has definately effected the North Pole. Little Tribe members were rapt that Pooh left the treasureTook nothing except a photo and wrote in diary.
Cheers and thanks for a great themed cache.

Swamp!! What Swamp!! OH!! Dear!!! There is water all over the place...It was too deep for piglet as she was scared of the heffalump!. I dont think she saw one as I am sure the Tiger snake kept them away!!!!! almost knee deep in water there at the moment. Cache is nice and dry.. We left you a Heffalump and took the Pooh magnifying glass.
Great cache for a sunday exploration 2nd for day Came off the road through rough terrain but worth it. GPS spot on. Got wet feet so be carefull. Took moneybox and left something to scare poo but only a baby. Congratulations on a well thought out theme. The wandering around the bush was real.

Thats what happens when you wait for the update to find the new caches. BEATEN, I WAS!!!!!!!!! By a miserable 10 minutes.... Who was it who beat me??? BMac!!
Great cache, different location, although I would recommend the use of wellington boots!!!
The three of us were careful to take the same track in and out. WARNING to the next cachers... Take another track in as this terrain will not recover quickly from the tracks.
A perticularly evil and wicked cache.
Had nothing themed, took nothing cept a photo!!!
(Nice to meet another cacher on the way!!
BTW, TB Snoopy H2O is with me for the picnic tomorrow.

Yah! FTF!What a nice expotition to the North Pole! Unfortunately due to global warming, the polar ice cap has melted, and I got wet shoes. Swapped a Winnie the Pooh diary for some Winnie the Pooh playing cards, and was going to take H2O Snoopy with me to the picnic tomorrow, when along came the Dominant Duo, so I gave them the travel bug instead. Took photos of each other before leaving.
TTFN. bmac.
