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 30 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.

TFTC SL Has cracked lid on container... Log quite wet

Found during our trip to Port Lincoln for a few days in the school holidays. Thanks for the cache diesel69!

Lid broken and looking back on the last logs has been for some time. Cache was full of water and everything inside saturated.

10:00 - easy find but cache full of water

The cache needs a new lid.

Lovely park to walk however GZ was about 10m out...we managed to work out which tree to locate the cache...Ms Bushies2 found it...the cache was half full of water but the logbook was dry. Thanks diesel69.

Nice walk and easy find .

Nice walk into the Plantation, nice easy find, TFTHSL

Nice quick find and sign in the scrub.
Saw some very unusual pretty white flowers.

Found on a quick trip out while dinner was cooking.

I like park caches cause you don't have to worry too much about people wondering what you are doing.

Our final cache for the day.

Thanks for showing us this wonderful spot in the middle of suburbia.

The cache was very exposed when I got there (I suspect muggles). The log is full too and I would have added a new one but the car was a bit far away.

Quick visit to Lincoln. Enough time to grab a few caches. Nice easy find. TFTC diesel69

EASY FIND ON LAST DAY IN LINCOLN

Interesting spot.

PS. No sign of the TB that is logged into this cache, suspect someone hasn't done their homework.

You can still see the stumpy remains of the plantation plus some new growth.

Untouched by pioneers. Claimed by cachers. And it will remain the same we hope until 2080's....
Clear skies from TeamAstro and our thanx to diesel69.

DNF... it was dark though...

What a great bit of virgin bush in the middle of suburbia. Being on a rise that would afford some nice views, I suspect property developers would LOVE to get their hands on it. It must be worth a fortune!?
Found the cache fairly easily. Took nothing and left a red canister. Cheers Diesel69.

Thanks for the cache. Nice place to have a look at
