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.

No response from owner.

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.

Check please. Hasnt been found for 6 months

DNF again in the daylight with extra sets of eyes. Gone???

My first but Burgo78's second time here and no sign of any of the hint description.

With the adrenaline still high after my first FTF 'At the Foot of Frederick' I thought I'd stop on the way home and and find this one, however I was unable to find the cache at GZ even with the clue. Will try again another time with the sun's assistance.

What an adventure!!!! Worth the effort. Took the trackables and will drop off soon

Found on our way to Townsville for work. Picked up UK Tb and dropped 2 GC's that I have been hanging onto for way too long . Sorry.
TFTC

Great hide.left 2 trackables

Happy travels

compensatory-log for coin dropping...

Pity the bush is burnt out as it would have been a nice walk through the trees! Very easy once you are within 10m.

Arrived in the dark for this one and we ended up parking around the corner til morning. Not a quiet road, that's for sure. Mr M found the cache easily in the daylight. He said it was a really good container. TFTC

Nice walk up a hill. Got a little bit worried when I saw the 'private road' sign. Luckily it wasn't in there, lol. TFTC!

Small walk with the kids. Great fun tftc.

Sent the better half up the hill after this one.... took him a while too hehe! TFTC. A pen had been left in the log book bag, log had also run out. We have replaced log and bag. Swapped a plastic fish mould for a spark plug 0.o

Danke an brackdancebuddy für diesen tollen Urlaubscache.
TFTC for the Owner!

Etwas anstrengend um die Mittagszeit, aber der Ausblick lohnt sich.

Aufgrund meines Urlaubsortes ca. 1km entfernt, musste ich diesen loggen.

Dies ist ein Urlaubscache mit SARKETA.

Vielen Dank für die schöne Aussicht - un's herloggen - Sagt breakdancebuddy12 (bdb12).

[Blue]# 12517[/Blue] Found on our 2015 Winter escape trip to Qld.
Another perfect winter day for a drive around while at Townsville again.
A good walk and found a few metres from a likely spot.
Cheers from Wagga Wagga in the Riverina, NSW.

Awesome spot.
Nice hide.
Found with NeZeXc for his 2nd find.

Found cache with bigmidget. Was a fun find thought it was near a tree that had fallen over however turned my head and noticed "some rocks" out of place.
Took travelbug DMDR9G will find new home soon.

Watch out for spiders :p

Was here in the hotter season and did not even try the walk up the hill, not that its long but I just waited for cooler weather.
Today was another warm and sunny day as I was in the area at lunch I made the walk up, it was short. And found a large hide
Thanks for the cache

Quick find after a little hill climb. Nice spot & good size container. Left TB & TFTC : )

But very long climb up the hill

Nice view, cute little wildflowers. Found it after looking a few meters away. TFTC!

Great cache. Loved the climb

Loved the climb!

What a lovely spot!!

To hot for a walk up a hill today

Found it in the rain
Thanks for the cache.

Hubby told me to go out & do something fun for an hour while he watched the kids = time for a hunt! Almost didn't complete this one as a long black snake slithered across the road on my way there eek! Pluggers were not the best choice of footwear especially after seeing my little buddy and every grasshopper that landed on me had me jumping out of my skin! I got a bit distracted by some of the tracks going up the hill and was wandering around for way too long looking for a big white tree as per clue. Given I had been stomping around with a nearby snake for so long I was determined to find this one! Went back to GPS pin and instead started looking for a pile of rocks and there it was! Cache in good condition guarded by a nest of green ants! Thanks yogie for a nice little adventure TNLN SL TFTC

What an awesome day to be out geocaching??
The monsoonal rain is here & we are drenched but Nice & cool!
The water flows down the hill which is awesome to see!!
Great view & nice spot for a cache!!

TFTC

Not really sure if you would call it a white tree, but the countless ords were spot on.

Nice little walk, cool view

Been looking at this one for a while now, happy to finally tick it off. Easy find after a short, but steep, walk. TNLN, TFTC.

Found it easy up the hill

Found with Keyana and Lynzee! Almost got attacked by killer spiders and green ants. Carry water for walk!

Good find, beware of spiders

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there yogie71. We found your cache "BLACK RIVER CACHE" at 11:10:00 AM today.
This was our only find today. (So this now makes our find count 9762.)
[Blue]
We are trying to log at least one cache every day, so we can add to our streak of "Most Consecutive Days Cached", which we started on New Years Day 2014.

We attempted this cache some years ago, without success, using the coordinates from a previous log. (We guess we didn't log the DNF though [xx(]). Today we ignored the previous logs and found the cache quite near the published coordinates, just a few metres up hill from a fallen tree with a pile of rocks at its base. (Is this the tree mentioned in the hint?) when we turned around to descend, the view over the mountains from here was quite spectacular.

[Green]Thanks for placing a large cache here. After caching for well over ten years it is really sad to note that the trend of placing small caches (without swaps) is increasing. While nanos and eclipse tins sometimes have their place in an urban environment these, along with 200ml Sistemas, seem to be the norm these days even out in more remote areas. It made us feel really glad to find a large, kid friendly cache here.[/Green]
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 6m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Some cache trash and a melted candle.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

The aforementioned property owner came out to check on us too. The listed co-ordinates were pretty good for us today. TFTC.

Out caching today with MattCNS and Mtn Pygmy Possum. We almost gave this cache a miss today, as the Police were patrolling the area on an ATV. Thankfully, they were packing up when we arrived and weren't too bothered by our presence. So up the hill we walked and after a brief search, Mtn Pygmy Possum found the prize.

TFTC yogie71 TNLN SL [1235]

On a caching mission with RobS72 and MattCns inclusive of this cache. Police ATVs, a wallaby, and anxious neighbours aside, don't bush-bash any more than you have to on this one. Our trip up to the cache was far more wild than our trip back to the car. Also check for ticks after as just after I found the cache, I also found a tick clambering on my leg. TFTC!

TFTC SL TNLN, Just be careful of the lady from the keep out property, she might come down to see what your up to. as she did with us.

Found after a second try and going home to grab shoes. TNL - Baseball Whistle

Our caching streak survives! A DNF on our first pick of cache for today saw us arrive here after the sun was down but with just enough light to make the search without torches.Like others before us the GPSr showed GZ as being about 15m away but the hise was plain enough for us to walk straight to it.

TTB LN SL TFTC

Found it! We could not get the corrected coordinates from the past log because we only had the GPS, which only gives us a few logs from the GPX file. So we decided to not really use the coordinates at all. Just looked for white hollow trees. Beware of the long grass and travel ticks...

Luckily we read previous logs so were prepared with new hint and coords which made it a quick find....

DNF at 1.10pm in the company of The Drovers.
We managing to get the car within 180 metres of the cache and then made the trek up the hill. After quite a search at GZ we resorted to the hint - no white tree with a hollow in it near GZ, read some logs found out that the cache was about 20 metres from GZ - North,South, East, West? Apparently there were some corrected co-ords in previous logs but we had no access to these logs on the GPS. Perhaps the cache owner could update the co-ords to help us poor suffering souls [xx(].

LOCKED KEYS IN CAR....BUT FORGOT TO LOCK BACK DOOR PHEW!...BIT OF A HILL CLIMB TFTC

My 50th and I had to work for it. Had a blow out in my double pluggers and the GPS was giving me a little grief but 20m downhill from GZ found it. TFTC

Not at the co-ords though...

TFTC

As with previous finders, we were able to park relatively close by, only leaving a trek of less than 100 metres to the GZ.
We used the updated co-ordinated supplied by Caching which had us in the right area to locate the cache with minimal fuss.
Both the cache and logbook are in good condition.
Thanks Yogie71 for this well aged cache hide.

found on the way home from a weekend in Townsville

TFTC

After walking up a hill to this hide I searched for many minutes before stumbling across the hide. The hint did not apply on this hide, expand your search and you will find the prize, SL, TNLN, TFTC

Took awhile to find, but were really happy when we did as there was a very nice tb!!

Didnt have much difficulty with this one... Tftc

Lots a spear grass to fill my sock here.
I couldn't find the cache anywhere and the hint was of no use.
I gave up and was heading back to the car when i noticed something suspicious. BINGO, cache found.
Thanks

This took some searching through the long grass, no snakes but plenty of green ants and spear grass. Nice hide, took nothing left Dolphin 2 Surf board. TFTC!

#193 On the way home from the Viva cache, we stopped in to grab the hide.

First challenge was to get my car close to Gz. I'm way to low for this type of track. Next, was getting up the hill without meeting any snakes. We didn't have the footwear for this type of track.

At Gz, we found a white tree that was hollowed a bit, with rocks, and had clearly had an animal slide in and out, or someone was searching in there. No cache but.

The needle kept pointing me down the hill but there were no trees down there. We gave up and we started down the hill when I fell over a fallen tree in the grass. As I got up, is saw a pile of rocks, and then the cache was found.

Cheers

Another great Yogie cache.
Managed to park only 80m from GZ and make the trek up.
The place is covered in waist high grass and made the going slow today.
I used the updated coords from previous finders and had it in no time.

Cheers and happy caching.

Looked around aimlessly for a while with no luck until Psilonette had the bright idea to check the log for new coords. They were fairly off also but in the right direction and sure enough she found it in time. TFTC.

Another one that's been in the GPSr way too long taunting me on every visit to TSV as I drove past. Not today though. Found the right dirt road and pulled up short of the gate with the nasty sign. Checked the logs and corrected the coords which brought the cache some 15m closer! Headed uphill and noted the fallen tree then made the find. These containers last don't they? The CO is long gone I think but they live on. Signed and replaced. Some noobs have signed this month but not logged online it seems.
Thanks!

Coords were a little out, but with a bit of scrambling over the slope we were able to find the cache. Cheers Gav [9011]

The hiding spot is no longer a tree.

Found at 11:30am while on my way to mission beach for the weekend. The cache coordinates are definately out but coordinates in previous logs are spot on. Thanks for the cache.

I have had this one on our to do list for such a long time. The grass is a little long so watch the rolly rocks under said grass SL TFTC

Our first find that was close to home, great hiding spot, we now have the geo bug!!!!!!

Found this one today. Coord's about 13m off and tree is now a log. TNLN SL TFTC

Like others, found this one to be way off the mark, and found largely by accident.

Suggest coords be updated to S19 13.867, E 146 37.906, and the clue updated to note looking for a fallen tree.

Thanks for a decent walk though - took about 5 mins each way. 100m from parking.

Thanks

Cached from SA

Found after a short hunt on a rather warm day! We were camped nearby at Bluewater so was glad to be able to go and jump into the river after the hunt!

20 meters to go and steph said there it is, i said where not there yet but she was right.

This was supposed to be the fourth find. Trying to trust my GPS now, but we ran out of time and will need to go back the next time I visit Townsville.

The cache is definitely at the published coordinates.
Walked back to the car and got the cache notes.
Found the previous logs indicated that the cache was not in location.

Well at 5 from 5 on the ANZAC Day hunt. This one created a bit of a challenge though. I was also about 13 metres off GZ and there were several downed trees which fit the bill, just none with a cache hidden with. After a 30 min search of my ever widening GZ, I packed it in and as I walked down the hill fell over the cache! What do you know, I was looking south, east and west, but didn't venture far enough north off GZ. Quickly signed the log, replaced and staggered down hill for some water.

TFTC .... TNLN .... SL

Coords I had at the hide were S 19 13.865 E 146 37.909

Co-ords a little out today but Jibba Jabba found cache on the way up. The tree has now fallen over but still covered by rock. TNLNSL TFTC

GeoBoyC had the blinkers on today but the eyes of a great hunter "Jibba Jabba" spotted a likely spot as the tree has finally given up & fallen over. Cache is still in good order with plenty of room in the log book. Thanks yogi71 for taking me to another rare location of TV. TNLNSL T4TC

Found easily. The coordinates were spot on and we just had to look for a fallen tree as from earlier logs. Thanks for the hunt.

Third find for day, This was our second visit as we missed it the first time, The Big white tree is no longer there so it was a good challange.

just.......stinking hot wandering around checking fallen trees with rocks.......30m away from gz luckily happened upon the right spot.nice ????hike.sl.tnlgcandsweat.tftc.

Just logging TB trough from previos find.

As for everyone else, need to do a bit of a circular search to find this one (out about 15metres), Very hot day even at 6:00am. Got a short glimpse of a wallaby, but even they are not stupid enough to be out in the heat. Tree is still there, but on the ground. TN L packet of tree seeds. TFTC

I didn't have the accurate co-ords but found it to be 15m's from where it should be.
TNLNSL. TFTC.

[As per previous logs, coordinates were off. My coords were: S19 13.867 E146 37.909 (single reading only). Otherwise, found after a bit of a search by geomum. TNLN. TFTC yogie71] "White tree" has fallen down.

[I realise others before have posted the same info and updated coords but for those printing off recent logs only, I thought I would reiterate it all again ]

286th cache. 109th in Oz.

Easy find on a hot day.
Tree very much worse for wear now...
TFTC

Finally found this cache. Two pieces of advice. 1. Don't even bother attempting this one at night on our first attempt we were not even close and the terrain is not good for night caching. 2. Yes the coords are out by about 16 metres. Its more obvious than you think.
I did search the whole area when I was heading towards the car it was obvious. I was glad to grab this one.
Nice view of other mountains from this cache. TNLN Thanks for bringing me here. Cat from Cat and Bear.

Ah the not so tall any more tree. I too found the co-ords off and actually passed the proper spot still climbing up. wasnt till I had given up and was coming back down the now well trodden goat track that I found it. Gees it was a hot day at noon.
