Rock'n'Ribs Naracoorte, South Australia, Australia

As a historic cache, it is indeed unfortunate that none of the local geocachers are willing to take on this cache for the benefit of the Geocaching community.

As this cache would appear to have run it's life and has now been abandoned, I'm taking the next step and de-listing - sorry.

--------

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

I've noticed this cache is carrying a maintenance log which really does need to be addressed by the cache owner.

The guidelines indicated that regular visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) by 16th August,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?

You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:

- Repair and/or Replace your cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.

- If you don't plan on fixing it up then please [**Archive it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.

- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (by 16th August). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when I next look at the cache, it is likely that I will unfortunately have to Archive it on the basis that it has been abandoned. Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then.

Please don't send me an email but instead follow the advice/instructions posted above.

Fast easy find by jr geo-son! Cache is severely waterlogged...
TFTC TNLNSL...

Found very wet but couldn’t sign book due to water damage.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Logbooks are all saturated and mouldy.

Came in to Naracoorte from Robe to check out the caves whilst on holiday. Picked this up on the way out. All logbooks save for a scrap of paper were absolutely saturated. TFTC.

These caves were awesome! Definitely worth a look, Cool spot for the cache too!

Found today on our campervan relocation adventure from Melbourne to Adelaide. Easy find, log is totally soaked, but we had neither time or spare logs, as we're not on our own vehicle.

Due to the last log on Travel Bug TB49VBQ Beertje Vera being from back in March 2018 by Jaynaut whom now appears to be inactive and did not log the placement.
Vera was in the GCP6DC Rock'n'Ribs as my son found it today while we were climbing on the rocks (not looking for caches).

Another dnf, hope day gets better

Found it. 29/6/18

Didnt have any spare paper on us and cant write in notebook as its all soggy

After a very interesting visit to the Naracoorte Caves site we stopped to look for this cache on the way out. A quick survey of the area and we soon had the cache in hand. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks UdderChaos for the cache.

Kids enjoyed climbing around here while searching for the cashe. A few bits and pieces in the container. Added some kids swappables,.

A quick find. Took TB and left a TB TFTC

Got here on our Geocaching world trip, second time caving after Lava Bed NM in North America. And caching

Thanks UdderChaos for the cache. Great place to stop for a pic and a cache.

Went on a cave tour with the kids, then found a cache. Cool sculptures on the rocks. Great day out. Now off for some wine down the road ...

Heading back to Adelaide from Mt Gambier after visiting the family for the long weekend...
My daughter, S-I-L and grandchildren came too (TT016) for a day trip...
It has been ages since I have visited the Caves so it was nice to take another look...
As we had the little ones we only did the Stick-Tomato Cave and the Wonambi Centre today...
What a pile of rocks...a quick find...

Nice hide

Quickly found whilst at the caves. TFTC

It's my third day in Australia! Monday micaparamedic picked me up at the airport and the adventure began. We tossed my things into his vehicle and began the journey to Uluru, because walking around that "rock" was on my bucket list.

Along the way we stopped for special caches (particularly earthcaches) at locations that would teach me about this huge country and some of its geology. Some concepts and hides were familiar to me; however, most were things I had never seen or even known about. I was constantly trying to wrap my head around new things - not just the geology, but also other things like birds, animals and trees. (and getting in on the correct passenger side of the car)

This cache was a quick stop after finding the nearby earthcache. I found the lid off the container and the log was only a bit damp.

Thanks for an interesting hide location.

Found with LuckyL10n during a 5 day run around Melbourne and Western Victoria. We were concentrating on GCA caches this trip, but of course any GC caches close by were also grabbed.

No problems here and thanks for the cache....

#7553 - 14:20; Day three of a caching mission to Victoria with Sol de lune. Today's mission is to travel west through Ararat, Stawell, Horsham, Dimboola and Nhill to Bordertown, then on to Naracoorte and Mount Gambier before returning to Creswick via Lake Bolac, caching along the way. Stopped off to collect this cache on the way out from a brief visit to the Naracoorte Caves. Parked close to GZ and headed over for a quick find and sign as the light rain started to fall again. TFTC UdderChaos

Nice quick find kids could t help but climb the mountain

Went to have a milkshake at the caves cafe and we decided to show Grandma who is visiting this fun Geocache! Thanks again for the cache.

Awesome spot for a cache

Having just got back from a long long long weekend away, (Thursday to Monday) you would think I would have had enough caching for a little while.
Not likely. Monday night at home and then up early Tuesday morning for a trip to the Southeast for another night away. No it wasn't just CACHING, there was a real reason but I just happened to do quite a few on the way.
Great little spot for a cache. Soooo many places it could be hidden but didn't take all that long to find in the end.
Thanks UdderChaos for the cache.

This is a great looking entry for the park area.
We signed up for the fossil cave tour and had a bit of time to spare before it started, so stopped by here for a few photo's and this cache of course.
No problems finding the cache. Thanks UdderChaos.
We left one of our signature items - a pet rock kiwi.

Quick find, tftc.

I am going to visit a lot of different countries on my travel tour around the world! At the moment I am staying in Australia. Of course I also try to find some geocaches on my tour. So I have visited this Cache as well. It was a beautiful place which I reached by Van!
Thank you for hiding and best regards from somewhere in the world!!!

Tftc!! Found a travel bug that I will take back to America with me

Nice spot for a cache. Well hidden but Easy to find and looks in good shape.
Retrived a TB, dropped another beautiful geocoin.

Nice sculptures. I left my TB and a couple of swaps for kids. TFTC. Scrappy_1

Geocaching has taken me on many adventures over the years all over Australia and overseas. It has also introduced me to a brilliant and diverse group of people, many of whom are now close friends.

Today I was lucky enough to be out and about so I targeted this cache.

Sorry for the late log, but thanks for adding to the adventure!


Thanks UdderChaos for placing this cache.

Quickly found this cache after visiting the Victoria cave. Thank you for showing us this beautiful place. TFTC.

Travelling on holiday with Purrfect Di, son Alex, geoson Sebastbat and Jack the monkey.
Picked up a TB to take south, and admired the tasty ribs on offer here
TFTC UdderChaos

Found cache easily. Seems like there should be a TB in there but we didn't see any.. Interesting area, TFTC.

A short walk from the caves, and finding this was not too difficult. Nice, interesting location. I wonder how many "climb the mountain"? Geowife and I also visited the woodwork gallery over the road. Caves are very wet today because of all the heavy rain seeping through. Picked up the cochlear travel bug.

Found it. Dropped off 2 travel bugs. Tftc.

Stopped and let the geo-kids pose for some photos. Dropped off 2 travel bugs. TFTC.

Very clever. Loved the caves

Good day caving!

TFTC caves are awesome!

Our first geocache found. Thanks.

Sneaky spot

A quick visit while we go look at the caves. TFTC TFTH TNLNSL

Easy

We admired these sculptures on the rocks the other day so came back today to find the cache, it would be cool to have one of these guys at our gateway.
During the week is a good time to do this cache, only one car drove past the whole time we had stopped here. This time of year is also a good time to do this cache, didn't have to worry about slithering snakes poking their heads out of holes too. But no cows around today.
Thanks UdderChaos for the cache TNLNSL

Easy peasy

TFTC - left a few swaps behind after a very cool tour of the Victoria Fossil Cave. We even saw the Google Expedition team filming onsite today! Very cool.
