No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.

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:

5 Peaks is a trail that starts near the end of Bayswater Road and goes up Mt Louisa Range and follows the peaks all they way to the top of Mt Louisa itself. It then loops back to the start point with a number of caches that are hidden through Crestbrook. This series was not hidden to test your dexterity in finding caches, but to give you a goal to reach in travelling the entire length of the Mount Louisa Fire trail.

Some areas of the trail are overgrown and difficult to find. The caches are near the track. so you can use these caches plus any specific data regarding the trail in each cache description below.
 
When I hid these caches, I ran the distance and it took me 2 hrs 20 minutes. I'm pretty fit so to the average cacher it could take up to 3 - 4 hours. I would call this a half day hike.
 
While you can attack these caches in any order, the challenge would be to complete this series from the start point all the way through to the last cache close to where you're parked. You can show this by posting a screen capture of your logs.
 
Essential equipment for the entire loop:
1.   Pen or pencil (I ran out! If you have a spare small pencil........?)
2.   Long pants (trust me spear grass is a pain in the ankles)
3.  Good hiking shoes, boots or trail runners (Sand shoes will suffice, but should be in good condition)
4.  Water (at least 2 litres)
5.  Hat
6.  Sunscreen
7. Insect repellant
8. The usual Geocaching tools
 
Happy to award FTF to a team if you want to do this trail with geocaching friends.
Feel free to leave calling cards. I will check on this cache regularly and collect them
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You've made it! If you started this series from the start, you should see your car parked off in the distance. If not, then I have n idea where are parked.

This cache is large enough to hold small swapables and coins if you wish to leave them here. Cache contains log book, stash note and swapable.
