Unfortunately, I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore as advised previously, the cache is being de-listed (Archived) to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

The [**Geocache Maintenance guideline**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains what needs to happen with a Disable cache.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article [**here**](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

If you wish to contact me please send an email via my profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

###**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 periodic 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)

It does not appear from logs that the CO has visited this cache recently, so it is being Disabled to remove it from search lists.

**There needs to be a response to this situation (or intentions indicated) within 14 days, 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:

- Check on the cache, repair and/or replace the cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked 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 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 (within 14 days). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. For ongoing issues (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to speed.

- If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**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.

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 page, it is likely that I will, unfortunately, have to de-list (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 information/advice posted above.

No finds for almost a year, no response to NM log on 29/9. It’s time to get it replaced or archived.
Cheers

This should be archived so people don't waste their time even pulling up!

Adding my name to the DNF list.

It hasn’t been found in a while and a heap of DNF logs, can the CO please check. If no longer playing, it may be best if a local takes over the maintenance on this one, as it has some age to it.
Cheers

DNF had a really good look but was to good for us today.

could not find it

Oh well

Checked ALL the possible locations for this one, and all we found was what appeared to be a keysafe lid.

Tftc, a quick easy pull up and find!

Nice quick find

Take your seat and enjoy a

When replacing Log put open end in first ythis makes it easier to get log out

Very easy to find.just before muggle i think.

What a lovely little town. The toilets are awesome here. No long drops. TFTC

No problems finding this one. Parking bay was empty and found the cache almost immediately. Tftc

Found on my way home from Cairns. It is good to have these breaks - one of the many positives of Geocaching.

A nice easy find after visiting "The Dish"

TFTC

Oh yah

On way to telescope

Awesome hide I like that

Thanks for the cache!

Found it

TFTC. We had left Forbes this morning heading toward Dubbo. I was feelin a bit uncomfortable so pulled into the rest stop to have a walk around and stretch the legs and back. Turned on the GPS to discover a cache about 20m away. A quick retrieve. Nobody about so nice and easy.

Continuing to travel north to Darwin via Port Douglas and grabbing caches along the way. TFTC.

found while on holiday at parkes. TFTC

Nice Cache Tftc

Caching with my daughter. Was put in further than I could get. Had to resort to part of the cars jack handle to get it. TFTC

Quick find on second attempt! First time we were approaching as a group of tourists were heading to GZ for a picnic! Bad timing, so continued up the road to find a few others and came back later.

First one on our roadtrip to brisbane from mildura, vic. Missed heaps as we needed to make grpund. Nice spot. Tftc

Tftc

Bring tweezers had difficulty getting log book out

We have been here four times before and always found someone at or close to GZ. This time a truck was parked next to the table but he was far enough forward so he could not see us, although I think the driver was asleep. Thanks for placing the cache and sorry for the late log.

We were here once a while back when there was no one in the parking area and thought we would come back later. What a mistake. Another three visits found the spot occupied and no way of getting to the cache. Today only one truck and he was just past where he could see us. Thanks for the cache and sorry about being so late with the log.

Found at 1201. A quick drive by for us today.. TFTC.

Nice hide , the hint gave it away though
TFTC

Nice quick one burning time on a flooded hwy

We stayed the night with a few other vanners and spotted people playing Pokemon
TFTC

Ran the gauntlet of Police and wide load people to get the log sign it and get back in place. The wide load was an ex RAAF Caribou.

Mrs eagle eye Hruntmaster found it

Name have it away

After I had spent a good 10 minutes not finding this cache, Pa virtually walked straight to it. Many thanks for placing and maintaining this cache The Sundowners. TNLN SL

Good hide. TFTC

Found @12:55
Accurate coordinates made for a quick find.
SL Thanks for the cache The Sundowners.

Found at 3:16 PM GAFF3.
We were here in Sept 2012 and found that the cache was missing. The next thing that happens is that a couple of "SA cache replacers" come along and replace the cache So the prising continues!
Thanks The Sundowners.

Spot on!

Found on a cold wet day...tftf...

On a caravaning trip to South Australia. 4 days for 1800kms. Cruising along doing a few caches each day. Had fun getting this one. Parked quite close and just as I went to grab the cache a caravaner from across the way sat down to eat his lunch. Wait, chat, wait - ah at last he left. Cache container in good order and log book has plenty of room. SL TNLN TFTC.

A quick find just in time before all the muggles arrived. TFTC

Quick find on long drive day. Tftc

Gevonden! On our way to Dubbo. Tried everything, our last shot finally worked. Thanks and greetings from the Netherlands!

????

A quick find here for the Moose while we stopped for a quick break on our drive south. Thanks for the hide.

Gangsta

11.00 at night and people are sitting at the table why why why ! Oh well I might try on my way back

Easy!

On my way from Dubbo to Grenfell and picking up a few caches before the heat sets in. Had stopped here a few times over the last couple of years but there was always someone at GZ. Today was very quiet with just 2 trucks and a car and caravan - all a sensible distance from GZ. Quickly found and signed. Thanks Sundowners.

The prize was worth the prise. Found an empty page in the log. SL TFTC

Quick and easy needs maintenance

Very clever, I wouldn't say the property damage is any worse than the non cache areas surrounding it so don't be too concerned. The log is very full, although there's technically room if people write on earlier pages with spare space. Tftc!

This is a great one. Easy to find, although there is a little of unnecessary property damage been caused because of this one

????????????????????????????????????????????????

Quick find on our way to Ganmain.TFTC

A few muggles about, but not near us so found it fairly quickly. ..just in time as a bus pulled in just as we had put it back. Miss J added cash to the cache for the next lucky finder. TFTC

Came here with my brother and was searching for about 20 minutes and couldn't find it

Nice little cache on the way home from VIC. We were lucky only us and a grey nomad at the other end of the area. TFTC TNLN
