Hi there lkgtjm,
This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **MAY** need some attention. You would have received an automated email from Geocaching HQ recently which explained what they need to do.
Unfortunately, nothing seems to have happened, so I am having to take the next step and temporarily disable the cache - see here: [**Geocache Health Score.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) .
**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) 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.

Out with milljrh, aniakinga and abthings on a gorgeous sunny winter's afternoon. Our aim was to cache our way along the rail trail from Rokeby to Crossover. Given all the preceding DNFs, we didn't search for too long here, even though it was the first hunt of the day. Needless to say, no joy for us.
After reading some previous logs we were very hopeful of a find here. Boris quickly made his way down but no luck after a thorough search.
An awesome area despite no find
An awesome area despite no find
We looked here twice and did not find. Found an empty black bag / container that looked promising, but no
A nice day to go out to a new area and find some caches.
Couldn't spot anything from the track so I went down to get a different view and spotted the cache quickly.
Thanks for cache

Since moving from New Zealand I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches.
So far I’ve knocked off 4 of the states. VIC, SA, NSW and A.C.T
No two areas are the same here and almost every place I go is stunning. The beauty of caching is that it takes you to so many places you would never usually find.
Thank you to all the cachers out there for hiding and maintaining their caches. Especially to those who put so much effort into creating unique and fun hides.
The caches I’ve found in Australia so far have for the most part all been in great condition. Keep up the good work.

Find 7 of 7 for the day and #2169 in total.
Found by Echo! (Echo 3 - Spice 4)
Turns out this was our last for the day after a few DNFs, looking from below makes it an easy find.
Looks like it sees a lot of dirty water through it but today it was dry.
("\(0o0)/") Thanks lkgtjm for the caching fun!

Great find on Easter weekend, going to keep going and see how far we get with the kids!
Tftc. Ran up to the base of Crossover Bridge from Rokeby and after checking the likely position of that one, turned and, as planned, aimed to bag as many on the return run. Time started to press so I jogged past two before stopping at such an obvious spot for a cache. Zoomed in on the phone to check gz, read a couple of activities and then went straight to it - first spot I looked! Noted the slippery when wet advice but after almost no rain in the last 50 days things are far from greasy.
Found on a caching afternoon on the Rail Trail. It was pretty easy to assume where this cache would be hidden, slightly harder to retrieve. It was slippery but with a few things to hold onto I made it ok. Thanks for the hide!
We were visiting a friend in the area today and decided to go for a walk. We introduced our muggle friend to our hobby. She loved it! This one was a quick find despite it being wet and slippery. TFTC
Pretty muddy and slippery on the path. Found on the second try as we were heading off.
Slippery when wet. Had fun getting to this one after a little drizzle but a fairly easy find in an interesting place. Thanks
Second visit to these trails, the first being to the SW end.
This was the first cache of the day and after spending about 2 minutes at GZ 2 dogs walked around the corner. Wife and I started talking and the owners soon arrived. The lovely ladies looked at us and instantly said "Geocaching?".
Didn't know it was that obvious and they gave us a hint and after a short chat moved on.
Cache was quickly found, signed and replaced.
Thanks for the cache LKGTJM

Another find without the upgrade getting the hang of it was a busy day with possum64 and maggiewb1
Doing the rokeby trail with a whole bunch of us. Too many to name. Great find for the start of the day
Find no. 1612
After a long hard couple of weeks at work and having not spent a day caching for quite some weeks today seemed like the perfect day to take the geo-bikes out for a ride.
We made a pretty quick find here before moving on to the next.
Thanks lkgtjm for placing this cache.

A short bushwalk with the geodaughter had a couple of caches in hand. This was one of them. Nice hiding spot, along a lovely trail.
Container broken and zip lock bag wet. I'll bring a new container out when I come to find the rest of the trail. Thanks for the cache lkgtjm

Yes, this should be a quick find as per the description, but I sent the newbie in to have a look and he went straight past it. Meanwhile, we found a kawasaki piston thingamajig (thingamajig isn't getting spell-checked, is it really a word!?!) and that one of the big wooden beams moves when you lean on it so don't lean too hard. In the end, I observed the terrain rating and found it in the first place I peered. TFTC lkgtjm
We decided that Rokeby would be our choice of destination for a caching day. Mild weather for most of the day amongst Mother Natures excellence, we were certainly not disappointed. We really enjoyed our day with daughter Kaddy124, her hubby and my very own Geo Grandson(4mths....getting a head start). Tftc
Our final find on our 4km bike ride from Crossover to Rokeby. Perfect gentle downhill and good distance for the geoson 5 who came off his training wheels earlier this year. Considering all the mud, this cache is nice and dry in its little hidey hole.
Found with taurus1955 and BentleyTB. Saw some very big ants on a tree trunk. I wonder how long this bridge will last. Removed the gum from the cache and left a gold coin. TFTC
A lovely warm day out caching with misschief18 and Bentlley TB. Not where the GPSr was showing but after a bit of exploration finally had the cache in hand. A lovely drive around the local countryside

First on this track container is cracked and could do with replacing with a water proof one before winter starts and the rainful. Tftc with geodude#74
A nice day for caching today with Lilmissgeo and the kids. Found this one after a short search. Container has a crack in it and the logbook could do with a fresh ziplock bag to keep it dry however unfortunately I didn't have one on me to replace it. TFTC!
Out for a walk and some caches on a misty autumn sunday morning. Stopped at this cache first had a bit of a look before having to move off as the rest of the non-geoching family had taken off. So on the return trip and after reading a helpful previous log my geoteen got this one. Tftc and that for the series even though i didnt get them all
Found with tassie expat. Coords initially had me on the other side but tassie spotted it. Tftc
Out geocaching with frmen1 for St Valentine's Day (any excuse lol). This took a bit of searching as the gps was spinning. frmen1 took one side and I took the other and came up trumps. The first place our gps took us was correct before it changed its mind. TNLN TFTC
Searched for a while before seeing in the logs we'd have to scramble down from the track. Found quickly after that. Thanks for the cache!

Mud-caked camo, but inside dry as the dust. Returned from re-hiding the cache, to find duck still on bike... so now it's a travelling duck I'll place in some future cache!
Our last for the day! Great day for a stroll in the bush!! Dropped off trackable "Rose the Roo"

To learn the history was one thing but to see something from old was a blast from the past if you know what I mean.
on this track we scene flowing creeks and sandy creeks, it was so clear and a picnic would be on the cards
but that was the other way we were going and soon we came across more and more muggles walking with children and dogs and riding there bikes, not a bad way to travel the tracks as it is a good walk
people of all ages were enjoying the day so in a way it made it a little had to find the caches with so many muggles around but because we were there for the caching we found a way to hide what we were doing and enjoyed looking around the tracks and there of side tracks

I had a good look around the bridge, but couldn't see the cache, so I decided to get lower. A bit slippery, but with the support of some sturdy branches, I got it. Signed the log and replaced it, climbed back up and noticed that I was being watched by a drop bear. I assume the same one that had been seen further up the track by others. Thanks lkgtjm.
Travelling around Australia in our Caravan with our cat.
Staying in Neerim today Mr Felix headed out to tackle the caches that we could walk to along this rail trail.
TFTC to the various owners. The weather was threatening but turned out to be a nice walk. Looking forward to meeting other geocachers at the next Australian Geocaching Mega event

So, I think I am the first person NOT to find this cache. Feeling a bit silly. Searched around while seven year old played in the puddles of mud with her gumboots. It was wet this morning, bit of rain and perhaps I just didn't look as thoroughly as I should have... Anyway... great walk. Really loved the four km we did of it. Would love to come back again when it's sunny and warm. Lovely place.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Very wet nearly too wet to retrieve this one hugbug4 came for a visit we enjoyed the mud in our geolandcruiser tftc

We had a peaceful walk along the trail today to mark the end of my 4 week holiday. Its back to work tomorrow and last chance to bump up the numbers...well, until next weekend anyway. Nice easy find where I suspected it might be. TFTC
Found it.
This one at first was looking like a simple drive by almost
but as I got to the bottom of the hill and turned the corner
to see a couple of large mud filled pot holes I instantly looked
in the rear view mirror deciding discretion is the best part of
valour only to see about five four wheel drives ready to grind me into the
mud holes if I didn't grow a pair and drive on, so I did, amazing
how quick they can grow when needed. Any way we proceeded
to the end of the track and allowed the FWD's to head bush only
to see one of them bottom out and get stuck half way up
the rutted old gully of a track they had taken. SL. TFTC.

Was really hoping to get the GC while I was with guzzling and grinchville13.
When I found this someone had just taken the GC before me.

After wandering back from Jindivick to Rokeby, I saw a few caches here and in between farm visits and showers managed to grab a few.
Worked out where to point the GeoRanger to and drove down the track to GZ, after a brief search spotted this nicely hidden cache. Signed the log and dropped a tb.
Thanks for the cache.

Out for a bike ride with the boys though I would pick up a cache .Nice little patch of bush. I like Rokeby ! thanx for the cache Ikgtjm
What a great spot. This is a lovely little walk, nice and fairly flat. Looking forward to finding the rest of the caches along this little trail.
This was an easy find. It has been a very hot day and w3e decided to just walk the first part of the walking trail and pick up a few caches as we went. This one was very easy to find and the clues lead us straight to it. TFTC
