Telephony cache #1 West Wodonga, Victoria, Australia
By The lost wanderers on 20-Mar-12. Waypoint GC3F027

Unfortunately there does not seem to be any evidence that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. It would appear the owner of this cache listing is no longer interested in the cache and the cache has been abandoned.

As such the cache is being de-listed (Archived). If there are components or remnants of the cache, please recover them as we don't want to litter our environment with Georubbish.

If you wish to contact me regarding this cache, please send an email via my profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

Hi there Cache Owner,

This cache has come to my notice as there is a 'Needs Maintenance' log that that indicates there is some sort of issue with the placement and it needs your attention please.

Check out the Guidelines here: [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable the cache**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.

**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.

Yeah I don't think it's here either.

This one possible needs a check - no finds for awhile and there ain’t many spots there.

This was an easier solve than the other one I found the right tool. Stopped and looked twice and there ain’t many holes here to hide the cache. I will log a maintenance given the number of searchers without a find. TFTC anyway

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Solved the puzzle and did not find the cache

Worked out the puzzle, went to place, had a thorough search but came up with nothing.

My second DNF for the day. Despite a good look around I had no luck. Next time...

Solved first puzzle cache and had a look but wasn't there.

Ninth and final find on Day 3 of a Father and Son Road Trip for his 18th.

While son got dinner from the amazing Greg’s, I came here as the road was shut from parking!?!

TFTC.

Today is Australia Day and what a wonderful day it is however like a lot of summer days in australia it was hot but we went out early to find a cache and go to the Albury Australia Day event. Then we went to grab a replaced cache after talking to the CO.

Thanks The lost wanderers for replacing this cache in this wonderful location.

Grand Cache count = 774 total consisting of 727 Traditionals, 23 Multi, 12 Mystery, 4 Earth, 2 Virtual, 4 Event, 1 Werigo and 1 Letterbox.

Had attempted this cache 9 months ago but it was missing.. glad to see after sometime that this cache is back in play.
I recall this cache easier to solve than the other in the series..
Cache located quickly but there was no log. Ive placed a temporary log (piece of paper) for others to sign..
Thanks for replacing this cache

Get to it

It seems that this cache is not actually in place so the listing should be temporarily disabled whilst the situation is addressed. I have disabled it for you this time.

Please see the Help Centre article: [Disable and enable a geocache](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235)

Did a maintenance check today and Telstra have completely redone the GZ and therefore Muggled this one. I will have a new cache out next week

Ohone at location no cache attached

This cache has not been found since November 2016.
We called by here today could not find it & then read all the DNFs
Could the CO please check it.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Nothin!

Drove past this one today in the hope of changing it into a smilie, but the structure has changed. So cache definately missing

Looked all over it, couldn't find anything hidden on it, in it, underneath it. Sad days, this was my first actual cache that I was close to finding.

A last minute stroke of luck landing in my bank account left me making an even more last minute decision to head to Canberra for the 4 Months to the event in Alexandra - Canberra event
A bit of a drive, wisecracking police at the very first cache I stopped to find , not much sleep [)], a busy day Saturday with 2 events attended , great company while finding some challenge caches , a gorgeous night time view on Saturday and then a frosty morning view from the top of Mount Ainslie on Sunday morning (complete with flat battery in the Corolla and replacing it with a new one with frozen fingers juggling icy cold spanners ), a climb up a hill to get the first cache placed in Canberra [^] , a chat with a friend from primary and high school who lives in Canberra , another event attended , a stunning sunset while finding a virtual cache near a lake and then the long drive home all added up to an amazing and fun weekend [^]
3 DNFs, 3 events attended and 57 cache finds for the 2 days and 1,000km travelled [^]

DNF! First DNF for the trip I stopped and looked but for an easy cache, this took way too long and it was cold and wet.
Hopefully I'll be back!

TFTC The lost wanderers

3 pairs of eyes and a dnf for us

Did not find

14:44
We waited for the weather to clear, then, what better way to spend a Wednesday than wending our way around Wodonga, in the good company of fellow cachers Sucoe, who had solved this puzzle.

**FEEDBACK TO CO:** We couldn't help but notice it carries the 'Wheelchair Friendly" attribute and has a T1 rating. Cache Creep or something similar has made this information quite misleading.

Our thanks to The lost wanderers for bringing us to this location.

Suscoe had a day out in the Wodonga area in the terrific company of Phetlern.
We had a late start to the day due to the overnight rains.
But as all Victorian's know, some days can have 4 seasons and so the rain cleared as we progressed throughout the day.
We had a great day out with a good range of puzzles, multi's and traditional being found as we explored the various roads and backroads of this area.
We ended the day with pleasant sunshine at times.
Thanks to The lost wanderers for this enjoyable puzzle and hide.
We had fun sorting the numbers and finding the cache.
A little more elevation than we expected but no problem for us today.

Found by Mary & David at 0825. After a DNF at #2 just now, we were relieved to find this one immediately, and the container fitted our expectations. Stayed in town overnight, and another glorious day today. We have noticed in Melbourne that these structures have been reduced in number, but some of those remaining now include wifi access points. Nowhere for Superman to change now. Signed as mm. Our thanks to The lost wanderers.

As it started to cool off we headed out after dinner for a couple more finds. We recently solved this one and the answer was not what we expected but it was findable. A search of the object and the find was made. The lid was on tight and we went back to the car for a tool but open last go and we had the log out. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC.

Passing through on our road trip and had solved this one a couple of weeks ago in preparation. Not being from this area, I had street viewed the spot on google maps and looks like someone was caching at the exact time the camera car passed by. Hahaha muggled for all to see. Today was a quick find although lucky had a tool to use to get log signed. TFTC

Found with bucketeer on our 11 day pre Christmas trip to the North East of Victoria
Thanks for the hide

We'd just rolled into town and with a large grass fire nearby there was plenty of smoke around and we weren't game to go near any of the caches in the nearby hills, and decided to hit a few urban caches until the fire came under control.
Solved this one long ago and took the opportunity to convert it to a find.
Thanks

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there The lost wanderers. We found your cache "Telephony cache #1" at 12:02:00 PM today. This cache makes our find count 12155.
[Blue]
We started off the day by attempting some of the caches in the HCRT series. After we recovered from our cycle we started at a random cache nearby and then navigated on a "next closest" basis until it was time for an early happy hour.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache exactly where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Nothing.
Thanks for the hunt,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

TFTC. Today saw us plan to attempt caches between here (Milawa) and along the Highway to Wodonga and have a shot at a couple of mystery caches we had solved in the last few days after the Melb Caching Event in Wodonga over the weekend.
Thanks The lost wanderers for putting us onto this series. It took a little bit of doing but the puzzle came out easier than we imagined. Finding the actual cache was simple. There was nobody about and I am over 6 foot.

Please hold.................
.......................................

Looking up some old cache finds to see if I qualify for a challenge cache I am working on and found a few I have failed to log on line. I clearly found and signed them as they were logged (in a much more timely manner) by Cybergran V who I was traveling and caching with on that day.
I understand that with the lateness of this submission the log sheet I signed with my mother that day may be well lost, and that as such my log not be accepted or counted but just for the record.......

TFTC The lost wanderers. [^]

Sorry for the late log. It looks like I have a few more late ones to submit from that day and a few more appologies to make

Found this one with a road crew (ZQX, JLT, and Farmers5) after the Mega BBQ and finishing the S series.

No great problems in solving this one, but had to reverse engineer a few words but got there in the end!

ZQX made the quick find on our way all around Wodonga to fill a D/T challenge which ZQX was doing today (successfully)!

Thanks for the fun cache!

A joint effort with dalerious today, I had solved the puzzle and navigated to the spot, so it was up to him to locate and acquire the cache. Done, initialled, sealed and returned. Thanks for the puzzle. I am still working on Telephony #2, that will have to wait until next time

Found with ZQX , joeylovestreasure and angelG27 .
Beaut puzzle and a sneaky hide to finish with.

Many thanks to The lost wanderers for the challenge.

Liked this one, have done a version of it on one of mine in Canberra. Found with the usual visiting suspects but too my credit I have local credentials TFTC.

(532) Found with JLT, Farmers 5, and AG27 on a quick scoot around Wodonga and vicinity after the Belvoir Park event.

My previous attempt at a 2.5/1.0 cache earlier in the day had ended in a DNF. So glad to make the find here. I used a pen to poke around, as there was a family of red back spiders in the first place I looked. I managed to solve this puzzle without too much fuss, but can't crack the second in the series despite multiple attempts.

Tks The lost wanderers!

After a previous DNF- we dropped by on a quiet Sunday afternoon. After pretending to call home- and the Bella girls doing some stealth stretches, it was quickly in hand. Thanks for the cache.

I enjoyed solving this unique puzzle so deserves a favourite from me.

Found

I got extremely bored waiting for my dinner to cook, so I decided to attempt this puzzle cache that I have been meaning to try for a while. This was one of my first puzzle caches and I must say I enjoyed it thoroughly, there was a misspelling that through me off half way, but altogether I quite enjoyed it. Within the hour myself and geoboyfriend headed off to the location.

I must say this was definitely a great cache for night time, although it was a high muggle area, it was easy to disguise ourselves in our location. Once again the brains was left to geoogirlfroend, while geoboyfriend was the muscles, or the "height" in this case.

- The Geocouple

Quick park n grab after solving the puzzle last night. Geohubby had his fingers on it in seconds! Getting the log out was the difficult bit! Finally managed to pry it out, sign it & roll as tight as we could to get it back in. Tftc & puzzle.

Mlroberts73 & I worked out the code, went to GZ but no luck.
We looked and looked but no joy.
We did however find some black magnety type sticker remnants, wondering if this is where the cache would of been.

57th and last cache of the day as I rolled into Wondonga, some 8 hours after setting off from home.
I had solved this one so long ago it was amazing I still had my workings so that I could make my way to GZ where a relic from the past still stood. Didn't take long to locate the little blighter either as that was where I would have hidden it too.
Cheers

Set up the caravan in Wodonga, and headed out to pick up a few caches in the area.
A clever little puzzle, which geo-wife enjoyed solving.
Cache was found quickly, in the most obvious spot.
Many thanks for placing this cache, The lost wanderers, for us and others to find.

Solved the puzzle last night, but got to location and it appears to be missing. Or we are looking at the wrong item. Lol. Will come back another time.

Sometimes in high muggle areas we resort to "phony phony" mode - making a mock call on whatever is in our hands, which is usually a chunky handheld GPS, not a sleek smartphone. Here we had "old school" equipment laid on & we made copious use of it. The prize was eventually located in what was perhaps not it's intended location so a PM to the CO will follow.

Well this was the last day of our long weekend Albury/Wodonga Geomission with Rapidlywild and specimenX before heading back to Canberrra in the afternoon.

Another one of the puzzles that we solved before heading down here on our Geomission. We had planned on collecting a lot more but it looks like we will need to return to get them all crossed off our solved list.
Quick find at this one, logging duties performed then on our way again.

TFTC and puzzle The lost wanderers

Yes! A long weekend! Time to get out of the Can and go on a geomission around Aubury-Woodonga with Rapidlywild and FurfacesLL #1

Day three of our geomission around the area and today's objective was to just cruise around picking up random caches, as we were geobuggered from the previous two huge days!

This one was yet another puzzle we had solved prior to our trip-so today it was time for us to make the call and collect [:o)] Lucky RW and FFLL#1 had me with them to make the easy find here!

Thanks for the hide, the lost wanderers

Well the weekend was upon us and the planned Geomission with specimenX and FurfacesLL in Albury/Wodonga was here

We had been planning this weekend for sometime now and had been busy solving puzzles in preparation for the weekend. We spent the weekend doing the HCRT trail, some of the HSS series and some surrounding areas.

After 2 big days doing the HCRT and the HSS series of caches, today was the last day for finds. We checked out of the motel and off we went for some more numbers before heading home.

Another presolved puzzle awaiting our collection. specimenX made short work of the collection here and soon had cache in hand, signed and returned. Nice work

Thanks for the puzzle The lost wanderers

Over time I made several starts on the puzzle. An easy find once the puzzle was solved. SL. TFTC.

Found @ 2:15pm with hccatcher11415 on a trip to Wodonga and back for squiggle30's 10th birthday

No GPSr required at all for this one - had the translation sorted quickly (despite the typo in the description) and made a quick find at GZ once a muggle vacated the premises.

Thanks The lost wanderers



This entry was edited by allrounder on Wednesday, 03 September 2014 at 06:12:16 UTC.

Came along with allrounder after she solved this one before we headed down to Wodonga. As we arrived at GZ there was a muggle standing right where we needed to be. Thankfully he finished up as we parked the car. Lucky I had my geocaching tool (allrounder) with me or I might have had trouble retrieving this one.

TFTC.

Grabbing a few caches with Happy pants who were visiting in the area. Took a bit of searching to find this. Thanks the lost wanderers.

Happy feet and I worked this out last night and today we came to collect, found after a bit of feeling around, certainly made the find a little more complicated than needed. Thanks The lost wanderers for the cache.

We had set up camp at Richos cache on the banks of the Murray River our fellow campers soon joined us. We had intended to try a series of caches but as the rain came down we changed plans and drove into Wondongs to visit the geocachers best friend, Bunnings!

We then had a wonderful lunch with Pprass and Alansee before setting out in search of caches. This was one of several we found in the rain.

Thanks The Lost Wanderers

I had solved this one ages ago but living a fair way south, this was the first chance I have had to get it. Found with Team Pathfinder and pprass.

Found at 1:04 PM GAFF5 in the company of Alansee from Ian&Sue - Team Pathfinder.
We were all camped at Richo's and the plan that we made the previous night around the camp fire was to head off and finish the HCRT series, but that plan was soon shelved when we woke up in the morning. It had rained over night and more rain was expected throughout the day - it was interesting getting out of Richo's with huge bog holes scattered along most of the track.
So we headed to Bunnings to do some caravan parts shopping and also to have lunch at the Kebab place. The girls then went to do some shopping, so we guys went off in the rain to do a few caches.
We all tried to fit in this structure to get some protection from the rain, but then that meant we couldn't move around to search for the cache [:o)] So someone had to get out and that would have to be me
Thanks The lost wanderers.

Had to go old school for this one TFTC

nice little find TFTC

Wow great puzzle heaps of fun TFTC mexika13 teags27

Solved the puzzle and found the cache with Mezika13 late in the afternoon. Simple find, excellent location! TFTC

There is an aged persons home here now - does it still exist 1jan2014

We had solved this puzzle some time ago but today was the first opportunity we had to search for it. The search took some time due to a nearby muggle waiting for a bus and the shorter member having difficulty reaching some possible hides. To our delight the cache was finally located and the log signed. Thanks for the cache and an enjoyable puzzle The lost wanderers.

After finishing the trail along the Weir, I had to head to town for a fresh tank of juice.
I'd solved this ages ago, and found this in the first place I looked.
Brave hide in such a public place.
Thanks for the nicely themed cache The lost Wanderers

We were on the right track with this one but needed a prompt from the CO to complete the puzzle. The appropriate hide for a telephony-based puzzle was quickly found.

TFTC found with SciFiRulz

Found tftc

Found with PapaGrouch. Out collecting some caches while we were in the area. TFTC

Found it easily. Although I think there is an 8 where there should be a 9 somewhere in the code...

With most of team RoJenTil at a dance comp in Wagga it was left to dad to try and clean up some caches around town.
I had worked this location out a few weeks ago but in my haste had left the information at home and so I parked up and re did the puzzle.
Had to wait a while at GZ for muggle traffic to slow to enable me to make the quick find. Signed log and replaced. Thanks for the cache and the puzzle.

Still good to go

With geokids and Indianagleeson

Found with Shellumbus and Geokids.

Clever puzzle easy once you connect the Wikipedia reference. Tftc.

We sat down during the day to work this one out with no intentions of rushing out to make the find, But after going out for a bit of dinner at the local we decided this would be a great time to grab it. We parked right beside G.Z. and Mrs 2755 found the container while i stood back and kept an eye out. There are 2 logs in the container which meant it was quite a tight fit and we needed to do some poking and prodding to extract it.
TFTC

Found with help by lost wonders

Have spent a few days working on puzzles lately and this was one I managed fairly easily. I'd just completed the entire Tallangatta rail trail so feeling a bit second hand but I recognized the place as I drove past and thought I could get the cache.
Thanks again lost wanderers

We decided to have a quick trip into Victoria for the weekend to find some caches, so that we could have some colour on the map for that state. Marco had worked out the solution to this puzzle, so knew where to head to find this one. This one was for a quick find for us after finding an earlier similar hide. TNLNSL TFTC

Nice quick find on a way off. Figured clue out while at work and on nice sunny day off came up with goods. First ? cache TFTC log signed at 1130

Spent time through the week working this one out, before heading down to wodonga today. A quick find once at GZ. Thanks for the puzzle cache and nice to meet u and find a few caches with u today.

Spent today going up a few hills in Wodonga with Bettyboo3747.
No.2 was done first (just the way we approached today, but the hid for this one was very familiar.
Nice little puzzle solved at work.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 1981. Doing a caching run in Wodonga today with Robmc. We arrived at this one hoping it would be quiet and so it proved and we also hoped that the hide would be similar to # 2 and it was so that helped with the speed of recovery, signing and return. Onwards we go. TFTC

The annual visit by the GeoParents presented an excellent opportunity to use Dad's Brain to solve some puzzling Puzzlecaches.

Jared and my Dad put their heads together to solve this one and then Dad and I did a quick drive by this afternoon.

Thansk for the cache - signed log - liked the idea behind this mini series.

During my annual visit, geodaughter introduced me to the joys of puzzlecaches. Having solved Telephony#2 quite quickly, I tried to use the same techniques on this one and went nowhere, Geograndson gave me the vital clue and then it was off to the site for a quick find.

Thanks for the cache and for both puzzles. Look forward to tackling more in the future.

Found on a quick trip in town. A couple of muggles around, so just waited until the coast was clear and found the hide. Full log, so added another log sheet......cheers The lost wanderers for the puzzle.

Log is full....we were the last entry and unfortunately we didn't have a spare log that small

After working this one out the day before, we decided to check if we were right today....and yes we were!! Log is full. TFTC The lost wanderers
