Griffiths Island Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Bunjil: Cache owner is either unwilling or unable to maintain the cache. Apart from physically looking after a cache, cache maintenance also covers keeping the cache page up-to-date. This includes updating any changes to the text, updating coordinates, removing needs maintenance attributes and enabling the listing.

I am archiving the listing as it would seem to have been abandoned by the CO. Should the owner decide to maintain the cache in the near future (next 30 days), just contact me (by email and include GC number in Subject), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, I'll be happy to unarchive it.
