inspicio: 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.

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.

Geocache Description:


Beach Then
Mackenzies Bay is located just to the North of Tamarama Beach along the cliff walk. 
Mysteriously, every few years during a big storm an entire beach gets washed up overnight and can last for months. Just as quickly, it will wash away in another big storm. While it's here sydneysiders get to enjoy cool little beach. It is unpatrolled so when it's here, dog owners love to bring their pets down without risking a fine.

At the time of cache placement, the beach hasn't been seen for quite a while but please note in your logs if the beach reappears again. The photo above shows the beach as it was in 2007. No photoshopping!!
