Unfortunately there has not been a response (or regular update) from the cache owner within the period requested and, as per the original advice, this cache is now being de-listed (Archived) as abandoned.

If there are components or remnants of the cache, please recover them as we don't want to litter our environment.

----------

Hi there 2max,

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

Had a quick look, but with all the DNF, didn’t spend much time. Fingers crossed to some maintenance soon.

Despite a thorough search, no luck here today.

Searched everywhere but was unable to come up with the goods today.

Given the previous reports, this cache could do with a CO check.

With so many dnfs, this might be worth a look-see by the CO.

DNF ️️
Found the exact spot but no cache
2max this needs owner maintenance!!
We aren’t local so we probably won’t come back and try again

Found an empty cubby hole

Spoke to the luke Surf lifesaving, Guy . He said local kids had found it and obviously moved it somewhere…. Needs owner maintenance.

??????

Found it Thank you. In need of some repair but glad to see this Beautiful spot.

TFTC couldn’t sign log because completely wet, sorry I didn’t have supplies to fix. Lovely beach

Found but very water damaged

TFTC

We walked from Reeves Beach camping hoping to find a spot for a swim but the rips were beautiful so gave that a miss.
The cache was very wet and couldn’t sign the log.
Thanks for bringing us here.

Suscoe headed down Giffard Road this morning.
We finished the series and continued on southbound for a few more kilometres.
It had been a delightful trip.
We enjoyed the opportunity to see this part of Gippsland.

Thanks to 2mqx for this hide, the log is wet and needs replacing .

A pleasant ocean greeted us here, a few small swells and no one about expect us.

Fun find !

Found it while staying at Yarram

Good find nice location

On a holiday with the family nice to see a cache so close to where were staying. Didn't take long to find before the storm set in. Cache in good condition signed and returned tftc

Thanks for the cache

Found on a blustery day with geo-dog Forgot a pen so unable to sign log. TFTC

Woodside weekend with friends! 18/4/21

We’re out for a Sunday drive as I’ve been busy with work all week and M’s sprained ankle is still too sore for him to walk any distance so we decided to clean up some of the caches in this area. It took me quite a while to pin down where to look for this one. I'll admit to having been led astray by my misinterpretation of the hint. I also had some trouble actually searching due to quite a number of muggles enjoying the beach nearby but eventually I saw the light, so to speak, and then I saw the cache

Thanks for find #1949

It’s been great been out here for the long weekend to catch up with my husband. He’s here for the week. thank you so much for placing the beach here is beautiful the sky is amazing perfect weather perfect day thank you

Found but it took a bit

Shauny thought it had been washed away!

Found this one with SciFiRulz TFTC

Found as Nicnax with PapaGrouch. With PapaGrouch always fondly remembering holidaying at Windy Woodside, we just had to visit as we were driving past. There are a lot more facilities here now than when he used to stay. It took a little while to make the find, then we ventured a little further to check out the beach. It was bitterly cold and windy but some crazy people were in the water swimming. The life guards were all rugged up in tracksuits and beanies. TFTC

Nice

Awesome walk along the beach. Easy find, but forgot our pen!! TFTC

Lovely place nice easy find tftc

Nice easy find tftc

Nice easy find

Quick find after a play at the beach to welcome in the new year. Cache in good condition. TFTC

Quick find between muggles. Cache in good condition. A great day at the beach to welcome in the New year. Tftc.

Continuing on my journey to Seaspray from last night. Today it's a beautiful day, warm and clear. Today I like Victoria.
A quick find in good condition. Lovely spot. And my first trip to the coast this side of Melbourne since moving to vic. And what a day to do it. There are people enjoying the warmth and fishing. The cache was found fairly quickly with fairly accurate coordinates, though the hint threw me initially.
Tftc

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!
TFTC

Beautiful area. Found with MonkeyMann007

Nice quick and easy find ,such a great spot water was very much on the chilly side.. took smiley.. On holidays from cairns and found with Cached Up Mummy Jules..tyftc

A really quick find. TFTC

I came down to Woodside beach today as I'd never been here before and there was a cache here waiting to be found. What a great beach, clean sand, blue ocean what more could you ask for.
I really like that this cache is so close to where hundreds of muggles must pass by everyday in the busy summer seasons but if you didn't know something was there to be found you'd never look, a real sneaky cache but simple.
There was no one around today so no trouble taking my time to search and the cache was soon in hand. Signed the log, returned the cache and on my way...after one more look over the spectacular beach. A favourite point from me for this one.

First visit and having a lovely day. Tftc

Very clever hide! We did not have a pen with us so are hoping our photo of the cache will prove we found it! What a gorgeous beach. Perfect day for a swim while we were here. TFTC!

We arrived this afternoon to spend a few days at the Woodside Beach Caravan Park, do we went for a short walk and found not a soul around at GZ. Amazing how this cache stays here. SL TFTC

i don't know why i even came here, but i took a photo of the beach and found the cache TFTC!

Decided to go for a drive today to get out of the house, not really beach weather but still the rain stopped long enough to search for this cache. No muggles about today so the cache was soon found. TFTC TNLN

Easy find and a fantastic view such sirenty

Very quiet today found after a short search...TFTC 2max

Had a lovely Easter weekend camping in the caravan park and had to wait to find this cache till later at night as the beach was busy all day. We like it here and will be back!! TFTC

Muggles abound! But managed to find a gap in the crowd to retrieve and sign. TFTC!

Much stealth required as it was the easter period.. though we managed to sign the log without being seen by the muggles

Catching up with my logging

Found with my dad (Flookfinders). For a full log please see his log.

Find #1580

On holiday with the family (Barking Bron & Super O) doing a tour from Sydney along the coast to Melbourne and on to Adelaide.

We decided to make a small detour down to this beach whilst we were passing and when I checked my GPS I noticed this cache, so we decided to go and grab it. Cache was easily found once at ground zero.

Found it

Over from nz travelling from Sydney to Melbourne grabbing a few along the way with HKBrom94 .parked up then wandered over for the for the cache . before heading for a swim and lunch tftc

Found with Ogni71. And muggle son on a daytrip

On a nice trip to the beach found this nice cache! Tftc

yeah our first day on the beach! we found it very quick and signed the book. TFTC

Not many people around today. A bit cold and windy. I was lucky enough to feel in the right spot fairly quickly. I guess this place would be crowded with surfers on a hot summer day. TFTC.

TFTC! Forgot to bring a pen.

MuggleMumma found this one! I had inspected GZ already, but clearly didn't look hard enough. Thanks to her keen eyes we had it quickly in hand. Nice and quiet here on this mild spring day, but still a beautiful walk along the beach.

A very late night decision ended in Brodie, muggle partner and I driving from Shepparton to Bairnsdale yesterday Aah the things we do for geocaching!
I'd downloaded pocket queries into GSAK, drawn up my polygon based on Whereis.com's route, refreshed all of the caches within the polygon and then loaded the GPSr [^] We were set! [^]
Leaving at 6am, the Nuvi in Harry suddenly decided that we were NOT going to Bairnsdale via the freeway and Melbourne but that we WERE going to Bairnsdale via the Great Alpine Road [?] Amazingly we saw snow and snow skiers then had 32 degree heat and masses of dusty windy gales all in the one day on Saturday, the day of the 2 Months to the event in Alexandra - Bairnsdale event [?]
Then Sunday was more windy gales, scattered rain, more windy gales and sandblasting of our eyes and bodies while finding a multi in a cemetery and a free wash as we raced back over a pedestrian boardwalk at McGlockko's Beach
I did at least get to laugh as muggle partner tried to move an echidna off of the road and learned that their spines are hard, sharp and go through windcheaters The echidna was still saved though [^]
So many caches that I just did not have time to find however Oh boy! [^] So very pleased that I finally managed to find a couple of older caches that I have been wanting to find for some years now [^] The Billy Goat's Gruff and Devil Bend are now safely claimed as found [^]
Although Devil Bend, being the last cache for the day at 11pm before the mad freeway drive back to Shepp, had it's own story as yes of course the police arrived just as we got out of Harry [^] They loved Brodie and thought his ramp to get out of Harry was great
After breath testing muggle partner and checking both his licence and Harry's rego, they wished us good luck and made to leave
Seems they weren't interested in finding a fantastic old cache as they refused to come and help us find it!
Their comment as they left was 'if we get calls in about torchlights, we'll know it's you!'
14 cache finds today on a ripper caching day! [^]

How did a quick and easy cache become a good 5 minute search[?]
Maybe because I'm short and 'felt' there as much as I could but it wasn't good enough
I looked lots of other places until muggle partner tried where I had been and found the cache
Oh to be 6feet tall at times with longer arms
No flags, no swimmers and no muggles today
I removed a chocolate freddo frog from the cache to try and avoid rats eating the container to get to it.

Day trip Melb/Trafalgar/Thorpdale/Yinnar/Jumbuk/TarraBulgaNP/JackSmithLake/WoodsideBeach/McLaughlinsBeach/Melb.
Last cache find for today. Mrs B and I were down here a couple of years ago but there place was crawling with muggles so we didn't bother looking for the cache. Not so today as we had the entire area (and town?) to ourselves which made searching a lot easier - not that it was that hard to find but being adjacent to the SLSC beach access path would severely limit when it could be uncovered!
TFTC

Wouldn't like to search for this one on a busy day, fortunately we were the only ones around, mind you it's a bit brisk for swimming. Lovely spot.
TFTC TNLN

Great spot. Thanks for bringing us here on this overcast and often raining Anzac Day. TFTC With Weebindi

Bit calm for a surf.

I had a surprise day off work today and thought what better way to spend it than caching?!
I thought these beachside caches may be a bit difficult today due to the holidays and I was right as there were certainly muggles around. The lifesavers were also on duty so I took a few photos while I decided how best to approach this now D5 cache. On moving a little closer to the lifesavers hut I could hear them talking. I felt around for a bit but didn't find anything. Took a few more minutes to think about it then decided they sounded like they were distracted and I made the final grab. Took nothing but left my signature and a favourite point. Thanks for putting this cache here, I really enjoyed it

Find nice and easy on a rubbish weather day so the flags weren't out would be a packed place on a good day! TFTC

During our 3 months Australian Trip, my boyfriend and I visited this place on the way down to Adelaide. Very nice location.
Thank you very much.
Greetings from the Swiss

Took wrong turn and ended up here bonus cache so we had to get it tftc

Found by Geomum on a warm wind still Autumn Day. Not too many muggles. The hint help. Thanks. Silkyie

Good hide. Had to be sneaky with all the people around today. TFTC.

Great little cache tucked away on a beautiful beach. Enjoyed the sunset whilst we were there. TFTC

Easy find with the family. But lots of muggles around

Sneaky little hide this one, we havent been to the Woodside Beach since the kids were little bout thirty years ago, thanks for taking us there again 2max really enjoyed the day. 2greywombats

A quick find. TFTC

Found cache quite quickly in between niggles
TFTC

Well, this is nice! I'm down this way visiting my dear friend and her family. I took her eldest poppet on her very first geomission. She did very well, at 7 years of age! I think I have a new caching buddy

Took a while!

Heading home from Sale today the long way hunting caches as I went, made the diversion down here to actually see the 90 mile beach! Parked in the car park and followed the GPSr down to the beach where I had a bit of a look around, then went to GZ where the cache was found after a short hunt, nicely placed! Thanks to 2max for bringing me here, beach was deserted today!

Last time I visited Australia 12 years ago and I had no idea about geocaching. Now there are thousands of caches spread over Australia and we are happy to log this one.

We spend a night on the nearby campground while traveling from Adelaide to Sydney.

TFTC,
Ines & Markus with Benjamin from Germany

Just like to see a 180km beach! Looks beautiful but the wind was blowing us away

Thanks 2max for placing a cache.

A great time to retrieve this cache as there were no others present.
Thank you

Lovely place. TFTC. Picked up. TB little Vegemite

Wow, what a beautiful place for a cache. We found this cache whilst camping nearby at the free campsites off Byrnes Road, decided to come into civilisation and had a look around.
Great cache, cover when returning, and say hi to the lifesavers, they don't bite.
Took nothing, left the Travel Bug.
Gotta cache 'em all!!

Gotta cache 'em all!!

TFTC. I have lived in this region for 8 years but never headed down this way. Thanks for giving me my first reason to visit- first of many now! A lovely beach!

Found this one a few days ago but poor internet reception while camped at Woodside meant we could not log it. Great beach down here

It was a good hiding place for a crowded place. TFTC

No one swimming today. No flags. No life savers, Deserted beach. Perfect day for finding a geocaching. No muggles to hamper the search. TFTC
