### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###

----------

Hi there team_coxy,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **MAY** need some attention.

You may recall having received an automated email from Geocaching HQ which explained what you needed to do.

Unfortunately, nothing seems to have happened, so the cache is being temporarily disable - see here: [**Geocache Health Score.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713)

**You do need to respond to this enquiry in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.**

#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache to check, repair, replace 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 logs of praise to roll in.

- **Place A Write Note Log:-** Reviewers are not mind readers (more's the pity), so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, you have been in hospital, the area is in flood, or some other reason that has prevented attending to the cache, they can't tell what is going on.
You need to post a note to the page (within 14 days) explaining the situation and when a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
Be sure to indicate **the actual date that you expect to have it fixed** so that everyone knows you are on top of it. If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date) please **post a Write Note log every 4 to 6 weeks,** so as to keep everyone up to speed.

- **Adopt/Archive:-** 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 the above. Well, when the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned and processed accordingly.

Honestly, it's better for you to decide, so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Bunjil

Suscoe was heading to Phillip Island today via the long way around.
This part of our country is lovely with hills, valleys and little townships dotted throughout the countryside.
It was a very warm day up until mid afternoon when the change came through and our sunny day disappeared into clouds and rain.
It was a wonderful sight and we hope that the rain makes it through to East Gippland and makes a difference.

Thanks to team_coxy and madmama for this hide, great to see the old school house being used for the community.
Some people were setting up the hall for a wedding while we were there.
It was looking great, hope they had a nice time.

SO I originally wrote something like FLTF of Found FLTF which of course means Full Log to Follow. I was full of good intentions but sadly life illness, children, work and all the rest of it took over and I didn't get back to write a decent log. So here I am apologising, SORRY! Thank you though for supplying us with a cache to 'find' or 'do' it's much appreciated.
Sorry for the crappy log hopefully the next time our paths cross I'll have more time on my hands and I'll be writing better ones!

The cricketers in the family loved the ground. Could see the snow on Mt Baw Baw. Thanks Silkyie

Out and about enjoying some sunshine, dodging rain clouds and finally detouring to this hidden gem. Many years ago when the state were selling off some of their schools & land we bought a similar school nearby. It's lovely to see this building in such good condition and in such a picturesque location. Thanks for the cache and a trip down memory lane.

Thanks for placing this cache. A fav from us.

Obviously a few characters have played here, Graeme "Grubby" Salmon and Ron #don'tcallmekris Christoffersen, but I bet they weren't geocachers.

I was back here for another game of cricket a year after finding this cache. All still in place and in good condition. I thought this picturesque sporting location was a good spot to drop a sporting related TB.

These are some of the best views from a cricket oval that I have seen. It was a charming little old school house here too.

Thanks to Team Cosy and Madmana for the cache.

Playing cricket down here today with my social touring team. Very pleasant location it is too and the weather was great for chasing a ball around in the sun. Our hosts turned on the style for us with beers and a BBQ so a great day was had by the city folk down this way. A quick find in the obvious spot. Some of the locals were telling me that the old schoolhouse was moved from another site across the road some years ago to serve as the rooms for the cricket club. Took the Around the World TB and left the Geordie Kermit one. Signed log and visited some of my own trackables. Thanks for the cache teamcoxy. Awesome spot that we were pleased to visit.

What to do on beautiful Sunday, Tax or caching?

So MissJane and I went for a Sunday drive a did some caching on the way.

The view was a bit hazy today. I don't know you could concentrate on the game with views like that.

TB "Scrat" visited your cache whilst on his Great Aussie Adventure.

Out today reminiscing on days gone by. I grew up in this area and now live in Canada. Nice area for the children to play alongside the cricket pitch. My brother was a student at this school (now the clubrooms) for a short period of time before it closed. TFTC

Our regular Wednesday geocaching outings are gradually getting further from home as we seek new additions to our collection. Today took us through Leongatha then via the Marden road to Nerrena, Dumbalk, Meeniyan and back home via Koonwarra. On the way we had 10 finds and two disappointments.

A great cricket pitch and a good place for our flask of coffee. TFTC

This was my last cache for the day. I had the place to myself and was able to find the cache quite quickly. Thanks for the cache, and for showing me this great spot.
 
17-Oct-12
After doing some work in the area, I had to visit this site and get this cache. I have played cricket for the Red Caps, and it would only be fair that I completed this at the Nerrena Cricket Club. TFTC

Recently found your other cricket views cache, and now I have both. Thanks team coxy.

This one so reminded me of a similar cricket field in the middle of nowhere, in Central Victoria, although I can not remember exactly where that one was now. An easy find, thanks.

This turned out to be a VERY relaxing find. After grabbing the stash a most useful item nearby was used to sign the log. Ahhh! the serenity. Thanks team coxy for the nice afternoon pit stop.
 
09-Jul-11
We have to agree that the views from here are quite good but for us the old school building held our interest. We first set about locating the cache in case any one else came along, not that we expected too many people to be out on a day like this, before checking out the building a little more. Although it's been converted to cricket club rooms it's great to see that the blackboards wee still in place.
Thanks team_coxy and madmama for the cache

An idyllic place for a picnic.
 
11-Jun-11
Lunchtime on our day of caching. A beautiful spot to stop and how appropriate. A cache at an old school site found by a group comprised predominantly of teachers. Fantastic to see an old school building so well preserved and still in good use. A great location we would never have found without a cache to lead us there. Even picnic tables for lunch!

This was quite a surprise, as having never been here, we did not know of the old building with great views of the cricket oval. Unfortunately for the group of geocachers the cricket was boring today - no runs scored, no catches, no wickets taken, in fact no ball!
As we were first to arrive we made a quick find (1400hrs) and before we could sign the log the convoy had arrived, so we replayed the trick from the previous cache - replaced the cache minus the log, for the others to locate. Instead of "Howzat" there were cries of "Where's the log?" We all felt it was time to replace some geo-energy and while eating continued to enjoy the view of the cricket. SL - left a ladybug Thanks team coxy
 
11-Jun-11
Visited again for a second time as our convoy of 5 cars and 10 cachers travelled around South Gippsland. Knew this would be a great place for lunch and I was right on a perfect day. 8 caches done, still a few more to go. Thanks again for the Cache.

We had never ventured past here before and were delighted with this spot. Expansive views and a beautiful well kept little school house to enjoy. Was the school always here, or was it moved here I wonder? No kids at home any more to enjoy the playground.

Smile found with Hearse068 on our way to annual gippsland meet and greet. Thanks for bringing us here to this great hidden location that I am sure not to many people know about apart from cricketers and the firebrigade members folk. Hearse068 loved the stinging nettles they added to the fun. TFTC TNL1.
