One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Should you like to resurrect the cache please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache

The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.

If a geocache 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.

Id say its been muggled.....
Found where the location said it should be, awesome spot to hide....
 
17-Apr-16
Found the hide but no tin. Amazing spot
 
11-Apr-16
Like others before me, I am certain I found the hidden location, but alas, there was no tin :/ An amazing spot, and with the cache returned or replaced it would be so much better!!! Thankyou for bringing me here to experience the ghosts of the past. TNLN (no cache present so no log to sign)
 
17-Mar-16
What a great spot. Could not believe that we were able to walk around down the tunnels. This cache needs to be replaced. It is such a cool place to have a cache. Please CO come and fix it.
 
The CO mneeds to check or archive it
 
14-Feb-16
Didn't find
 
09-Dec-15
Looked every where and still didn't find it
 
24-Oct-15
Based on the DNF's and especially Gungii's log, I suggest the CO do a maintenance run on this one. We visited before checking logs and enjoyed the spot tremendously. Thanks anyway, Malbena. =^.^=
 
20-Sep-15
20 sets of eyes could no find it.
 
07-Aug-15
Searched thoroughly around the coords for this one but should have read the log first, looks like it might be gone!
 
15-Nov-14
Nope - should have read the logs first as I usually do. Maybe later. Thanks for getting me to the park and the view though!!
 
21-Sep-14
As in previous log, I believe cache may be missing.
 
21-Sep-14
Today was a great day to pick up some caches in this area with TX4000. He had found this previously and stood back and watched me search for about 5 mins. I had looked in all the nooks and crannies and I eventually asked if I was in the right spot. He said yes and showed me where it was previously. Apparently it is not in the same hidey-hole now. Thanks for bringing me here anyway. Interesting area.
 
03-Aug-14
Had a look around but couldn't find it. Sad
 
07-Jun-14
Looked for quite a while but did not find the cache.

Thought Sydney had some good tunnels but these are awesome, thanks for bringing me here & TFTC
 
Bunnies! Everywhere! Adorable bunnies and a geocache. This is the best! In all honesty I loved the search area. I felt like I was there, patrolling the area under guard while in reality I was looking for a geocache. Loved it. Then I saw the bunnies, which made me adore it.
 
26-Mar-14
Let'em come! If it means that we get to geocache in an awesome location like this?? What a blast! Before and after the find, C-MNM and I really enjoyed exploring the area and chasing scores of bunnies! This one earned a favorite for the location for sure.
 
19-Mar-14
Heading to Sandy Bay for Orienteering event so decided to clean up this area before the event. An incredible area, full of history. GPS wanted us elsewhere but geo-sense took over and cache soon in hand. Great container.
TFTC
 
16-Mar-14
Never saw any Russians or even Cossacks so the guns were effective at keeping them at bay. Perhaps they did come and took the guns back home as souvenirs
 
30-Jan-14
Logbook full needs replacing thanks!

19-Jan-14

23-May-13
[This was my second find after 'River Views'

Wow what an amazing place - I could have spent hours in the catacombs and rooms - The GPS was really useful to navigate through all the tunnels as It was not where I thought it would have been (from a survey from above the battery).

As I used the last space in the paper provided I made sure to add another sheet so it should have a few more finds in it]

I found a torch to be really helpful to find this cache!
 
06-May-13
Found. Also had an unlisted TB

The cycling touring duo from Jindy fluked this one rather quickly with our trusty steeds parked close by, we then enjoyed a great view atop having breakfast viewing yacht races on the D. Most worthy of a favourite.
 
06-Jan-13
Nice quick find. Stopped to look around, saw some tape on the ground and thought it looked like camo. Got out the trusty Samsung and bingo. No tb. Think previous hunter has not logged it out.Tftc.
 
04-Jan-13
On a boiling hot day (41.8 and a record for Hobart) Geo Junior and I decided to find one cache to become the most southern so far found. This turned out to be a beaut spot and a beaut hide. Thanks Malbena.
 
26-Dec-12
Great place for a cache. There are a thousand hidey holes. Couldn't find the trackable that's on the inventory. Must have moved on unlogged. TFTC

Good cache, we could ride the bikes right up to it.
 
09-Oct-12
Overcast day made the GPS play up but eventually found it with some bricks and a stretch TFTC
 
07-Sep-12
It didn’t take long to find this and we left Liam's Pet Blue Whale travel bug.

The log book is filling up although there are some blank pages here and there.

We had an engagement in Sandy Bay and decided to grab a few caches in the area afterwards. It was a bit showery on the drive there but the sun was out by the time the function was over. But the mountain looked to have cloud building up and eventually a few spot began to fall on us, curtailing our final cache attempt.
 
04-Sep-12
Easy pick up but not for those who may be vertically challenged! TFTC
 
02-Sep-12
Our 10oth find. What a great place.
 
18-Aug-12
We were on a mission to find a geocache for International Geocaching Day! We had searched for this cache before with no luck. It was the only cache we hadn't found in the area so we had a second look around and found it. A second look always pays!
Thanks,
TheCachingClan:)

Urgently requires a new log and a clean up of old papers within this cache.
Managed to find a space today for out log, but only one space
 
28-May-12
A fascinating maze of a place.
Cache is actuallty micro size (listed as small) so was not able to leave the small travel bug that I intended to set out from here, unfortunately.
Good to see the rotary gun placement still intact, and many of the compartments.
 
21-May-12
Once I navigate my way correctly to GZ the cache was an easy find in the only obvious place and was retrieved with the help of a nearby stick.
 
14-Apr-12

Never knew this park existed, pretty cool...TFTC!
 
10-Mar-12
I've driven past here many times but never stopped to explore before. Here today with my two small boys and friends - fabulous place for the kids to run around! With a bit of help from me my 4 year old managed to find the cache and was very excited, he took a marble and left a balloon! TFTC
 
09-Mar-12
Nevermind the Russian's, unless they're Russian spiders! Thanks for the challenge - or was that a dare.
 
04-Mar-12
Found it! Nice one... Very spooky
 
28-Feb-12
Obviously I am a bit late in logging this find. Mum (GeoCheryl) & I enjoyed lunch at Wrest Point Casino's "The Coffee Shop", then headed of to find this cache. Nice hide. TFTC
