Cache unfound for 2 calendar years or more.
You can claim a single cache find on only one of the "unloved" locationlesses. I suggest the highest one, but it's up to you. Ie. You can find the locationlesses several times each, for several unloved caches, but only one locationless can be found for any one cache find.
6 Months Unfound - geocaching.com.au/cache/ga2689
12 Months Unfound - geocaching.com.au/cache/GA2699
I realised lately that one of my more remote caches hadn't seen a find in over 3 years! It's not that far out... geocaching.com.au/cache/gcqpgj - Boring Cactus.
To complete this locationless, you can find any physical cache which has not had an internet logged find for 2 calendar years. Dual listed caches which have been found on GC but not GCA do not count.
You cannot find your own cache. You cannot find a cache you've found before. If you find this cache with a mate, only one of you can claim the find. Argue it amongst yourselves.
You need to include:
- The GC/GA code and name of the cache you are logging.
- The actual date of the find - must be after the date this locationless is listed (1 Nov 2010)
- The date of the last find (or note it as an FTF)
- Why you think this one has gone so long.
- Coordinates as listed on cache page.
It would be nice if you included:
- A photograph of the cache and or location
- A little story about the hunt.
You can claim this more than once - after all, the intent is to make these unloved caches loved again!
I will be monitoring these closely - no dodgy claims!

I love finding remote caches that don't get visited very often but have many finds on caches over a year but have not yet found one that has been neglected for over 2 years, but managed to snag an urban puzzle cache that had been left that long.

Hi Cached
Today we travelled to Lake Pedder and the surrounding area to view the scenery on a fine day.
I found GA0034 "Damn You Gordon" at 1245hrs today (7th March 2013) which was last found by Shazcol on the 19th Jan 2011.
This is a multi and the co-ords that should be at WP1 have been missing for some time; this is the main reason that this cache has not been found for such a long time.
The cache is really good and the views are tremendous. Hopefully, WP1 will be restored in the near future and more cachers will have a go at this cache. I know I thoroughly enjoyed it.
TFTC and cheers
OldSaint.

(A bit late logging - 12/2/13, as I thought there may have been such a locationless cache, but had the priority of actually logging all the cache finds first!)
On a recent 'road trip' to Western NSW to help and improve my D/T averages before going on to do some fast-to-find Challenges I noticed this cache in South Australia that had the D + T >4. It was Wirrabra Ramble, GC22F3, hidden in Sept 2001. And it hadn't been found since Oct 2010, AND, it was placed by Maps. I'm one of the leaders of a youth group in Taree called Manning Area Pathfinders, with the caching name of MAP's !
After sleeping over in the car near Port Augusta I started heading on my towards Adelaide. I bit of a distance away the bushwalking GPS wanted me to take an interesting route, while the car GPSr was even more convoluted in its path. I stopped and asked a farmer (who had been busy talking on his mobile) if "this was the right way to Wirrabra". He laughed at my pronunciation. And neither of the GPSs would have got me to where I could get through without 4wd AND high clearance. The Mazda Metro was already falling apart, and was being held together with fencing wire and Duct tape!
Eventually had a lovely walk through the bush to find a cache that was dry, but definitely not intact. So some running repairs were done, in the name of MAP's. I just hope it is not another 2 years before it is found again, as it such a lovely spot. TFTLC (Locationless cache)

One of three caches hidden over the years on this picturesque old train platform, but archived more than two years ago. It's still in place and in quite reasonable condition. Found while logging the new cache, only four metres away.
Don't know why no-one else has discovered this one while looking for the new one. It's a bit tricky but nevertheless in a very likely place.

My 8th time logging this cache!
GC17BGN - A Mountain Somewhere by mtbikeroz
Not previously found since 20/12/2008, so 1 month shy of 4 years...
Not found for so long because of the terrain and effort required to get it. Also there are fewer and fewer cachers in the ACT who are doing these sorts of cache.
It was a hard slog of 9 hours return over 18+km and 1200+ metres of ascending!

Finally can log this one after several time the caches I've had my eye on have suddenly been found after all this time, once on the day I was going to look for a particular cache!
Today we went back to Locky's Surprise (http://coord.info/GCX3RH) which we'd DNFed the previous week when a WP was missing. Luckily the CO replaced it and today we made the find. Last found 18 July 2009 so three years and four months since the last find.
Then of course it was found several times the same day as the others arrived!

No idea why this one has gone for so long, possibly because there are not many GCA cachers up that way??? Or perhaps it's because it seems to be crossed out on the GCA website now. Not sure if that's only recent or not though as the PQ I had when I found it said it was still available.

Happy to finally put my hands on the crown jewels.
Cache GC1YVG8.
After the floods the roads were virtually washed away in the area.
A 4km round trip has kept numbers here at bay.
Not to mention the hill climb at the end.
The views were worthwhile though.
Find was the 5th of NOV 2012, last find 4th Oct 2010.
Awesome fun.

Hi 47tuc
After doing "Isabella & Reuben" the other day, I looked for the road that led to this cache. The TomTom had me driving all over the place and I didn't get it.
Back out behind Judbury today, I only used the Garmin to navigate by and soon had the right road in and arrived at ground zero as planned this time.
Found and logged the cache at 1218hrs.
A clear, sunny but windy day today made for some nice photographic opportunities.
Will return to this spot in the near future; will take Mum and Anne for a Sunday drive.

Found today, 15/07/2012
Last found 23/10/2008
This cache is very difficult to find. Not only is it terrain 4.5 in its own right, but you have to complete a 2/3.5 traditional, a 2.5/4 multi, a 4/4 puzzle and another 4/4 puzzle just to get the coordinates of this, the final cache.
Just to get this cache was a 5 hour, 28 km mountain bike ride, which include 1.5 hours of pushing my bike up some of the steepest hills I have ever walked up (on a track that is).
Maybe you need a 3 years cache for me to log against!

We searched twice and found it on the third time after the owner confirmed it was still there. To get to the final we had to solve 9 puzzles and find 9 caches..all very difficult so it is not surprising it has only been found 5 times before us. Very addictive so we were very pleased to complete it.

TP1234 Mt. Fatigue Trig Point in South Gippsland. Easy to get to with fabulous view. First to Find today 29 March 2012. Very few Trig Points have been searched for in South Gippsland - I don't know how many newer cachers are really aware of Australian caches.
We were recording GPS references for a pamphlet on closed school sites when we came across the Trig Point

Found with the group attending the GCA 'Lithgow Walk' event.
Guess this one is fairly remote.
Great views, though, and well worth the effort.

Wellington Peaks G - Beauty's Face GC10VQM
This is part of a series of caches located on peaks on Mt Wellington.
To find the final cache you need to have found 3 other peaks. Although not hard to find they do take a bit of climbing.

GC18JY4 Tinnanbars View of Fraser. Last found on 08/02/09. There have been a few attempts and DNFs but my find on 24/10/11 was 32 months since the last found log. This cache is in an area that has a lot of prickly plants and flying insects that bite. I was wearing long sleeves jeans and had gloves. The area itself virtually challenges you to attempt the find.

I found GC53F9, A River Somewhere, on 2 Feb 2012, almost 2 years and 2 months after the previous finder (13 Nov 09). I've added the listed coords for the cache as requested, but that isn't going to help you as the cache is a long way from there. A long, long way. That's probably part of the reason it hasn't been found so long, but I'm sure it's not all of it - after all the Icon Hunt series are even more work, and they get more finds.
Anyway, nice to get a GCA smiley for the find as well!
Thanks Cached!

A mystery cache called "C.A.R.S - Woodie" GC14W3H was about number nine in a series of ten around Creeks And Rivers of the Gold Coast.
The floods had knocked out a few of the earlier caches in the series and the cache containing the final co-ords (not shown above) for this cache had gone AWOL along with a some of the earlier caches in the series.
We were visiting the area for a traditional and multi and decided to try for the trifector.
Fangsoki and I checked out the hints and previous logs and looked for possible hiding spots near the posted co-ordinates.
After a bit of search the cache was found and the log showed the last find was on 4/10/2008.
That would be about 3 years, 2 months and 27 days without a find or 1183 days.
http://coord.info/GC14W3H
The cache owner has since posted a note saying that his new year's resolution is to get the series up and running again.
It just goes to show that a bit of loving goes a long way.

939 days since the last find.
It is a hard puzzle to solve. I only stumble over the solution one day. I would not even of bothered to solve it otherwise. I did attempt to solve it a long time ago and gave up.
The hunt was the easy part. I nice easy walk in the bush.
The log book and cache was full of water and needed a good clean out. The cache is a rare D/T and was the only reason it became back on my hit list.

It has been that long between the 30.1.2007 when ian-and-penny found it and yesterday when I found Glide with the eagles - http://coord.info/GCRCW1
There isn't actually an obvious way to the cache and everybody who finds it isn't telling much in the logs how to reach GZ but it is well worth the trip. I think I was the only person walking there but I did enjoy the 2h alone in the bush in a completely pitch-black night.
and here's the link to my log:

I found Broken Down Chevy (GA1205) to log this cache. Cache was placed 5/11/08 and I was FTF on 23/3/11.
Whilst it is a little off the beaten track it is easily accessible by high clearance vehicle in summer. I was in my bunky old work ute on the way out from Forrestania to Marvel Loch.
Nice location and should be no problem with 4x4 due to track upgrades. Mt Palmer is now disused but has some historical signage etc to make it worth stopping.

GC1JK5A - Lost German Tourist by mtbikeroz.
This multi cache (co-ords above are the posted co-ords, not GZ ) is located in deepest darkest Namadgi National Park, south of Canberra.
The last find was made 27 December 2008. A two hour drive to the parking area, then a 4 hour walk, followed by the 2 hour return drive.
A good day, well worth the effort when you inclue this one....(plus another one for a Smiley, but that's another story in itself!!!) Just a pity that only one of the two of us who could claim this one, are allowed.
Good fun, TFTL

GC14W4B C.A.R.S - Ferrari Enzo
This cache is three years without a find.... and I had found the cache with the final co-ordinates for this mystery cache the other day.
Fangsoki and I headed down to the Tweed in search of this one.
The container was an ammo tin.... so we were hoping it had gone the distance. It was next to salt water so I wasn't sure about the rust factor.
After quite a bit of time in the morning and arvo clambering over some huge rocks with soooo many hiding spots it is a big old DNF on this one.
Sorry this one remains unloved... no GCA or GC smiley for us ... but we gave it a good shot.

Zalgariath will want to kill me for this but if it is not considered to count due to the archiving then I will change to a note and head back out tomorrow! There must be another!
Story of the cache hunt is on the cache page. Will add some photos later.
