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

Hi there baluke,

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 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)

**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days so others know exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication kill this cache.**

#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 and repair and/or 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 praises.


- **Place A Write Note Log:-** Reviewers are not mind readers, so without your note on the cache page telling them what the situation is, they can't tell what is going on with the cache.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) and, when the listing is next checked, all will be fine for a little bit longer. But 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 ensure you visit this page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks so as to keep everyone up to speed with what is happening.


- **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, 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.

**JUST A TIP:-** Have you checked out the new Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own? Have a read about it [**HERE.**](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/07/welcome-to-the-cache-owner-dashboard/?newsletter=PM) You will find your very own dash board [**HERE**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner?utm_source=geocaching&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=COD)

Thanks for your cooperation,

Unmanageable

I am right on the spot and i don’t think its here, also because nobody has found it for 2 years.

Was right on it but i dont think its there anymore

Construction going on.

Could not find

had a quick look
but no luck

I think I know where it is but don’t wanna get bitten by a spider

Searched as thoroughly as I could in all the possible places, but nothing. Oh well.

Slightly precarious spot, lots of flies and a lizard spotting

Content unavailable. This user has opted-out of sharing certain information with API Authorized Developers.

Second attempt at this one today and was found after 5 minutes of searching. This hide is reminiscent of another Team Yarra cache we had found recently. TFTC

We came to the park this afternoon to try to pick up a few stray gems for the museum heist challenge. Initially we were coming up empty on this one, but we decided to take a breather and come back to it and our second attempt was a success. TFTC

Needed a last diamond. Successful on second try. TFTC

Found, lots of kayaks in the river

No luck this time

Once at GZ, the cache was a nice, easy find. All in good condition. TFTC

TFTC. A cold morning search paid off. This was one of the first caches we ever tried to find (and didn’t find)

A bit of a climb but the cache was in good condition. I wasn't left in the dark by the hint either. TFTC.

Accompanied with my granddaughter on her first caching day. She did enjoyed her hunting. We both found it. Thanks Team Yarra for placing the cache

This one was right where I expected it to be. I really enjoy walking around bush in the middle of suburbia.

Caching has come in handy again. Filling in time between the check points while others do the hard work of participating in Oxfam, we are able to cache our way around and support those that are oh so much fitter than I am. Even though I made it to GZ, I was not the finder. Thanks to all the CO's that helped us stay awake.

Mrs Papi was on an Oxfam support crew so had the opportunity to collect some smiles as she went. Even though it rained, we managed to keep fairly dry which is more than can be said for those participating. By now it is Saturday morning but we are still going as are most of our charges. Probably not the best place to be looking when it is just after midnight. Thanks to all the CO's for making the waiting more enjoyable.

After searching into the bridge too far, and finding a rather scary pump, I headed back and soon found the cache where I should have seen it sooner! Thanks so much for placing this cache Team Yarra

F(H)ound it! #3060 @2:10 PM

I am down from Queanbeyan NSW, visiting the out-laws for a week or so.
An outing was requested by the Fam Damily so I suggested a walk around Westerfolds. My team included the Reluctant GeoSpouse and three Muggle-Outlaws plus two geohounds.
I knew where this one was hidden straight away, but it took a little while to convince the others. The Sister-Outlaw did the retrieving with much encouragement from the rest of the team.

Thanks for the cache Team Yarra

A bit tricky!!!!!

Great hiding spot, took a lot of searching!

Well that was an easy find as it was staring at me at gz. I put it back behind. Tftc

Got it after a bit of searching close to GZ, nice hide

Inspired by an earlier adventure cache. TFTC

After admiring the canoeing course on the river I soon turned my attention to finding the cache. With some effort I soon narrowed the distance between me and GZ. Checked a few places before I spotted the cache peeking from its hide. After signing the log I replaced it as found. TNLNSL. TFTC. Kkams

Awesome spot did this in thongs very bad idea and don't wear your Sunday best.

I couldn’t find it at the first attempt because I looked at the wrong side of the beam. It was very easy to find this little guy at the second visit

Beautiful day for caching include here. Great hide
TFTC

Located pretty quickly when I scrambled up to GZ. TFTC

These are not my favorite kind of hides as the noise of the traffic always gives me the willies. I don't know why as I know I am safe. I was not going to let the willies stop me from getting a smiley so up I went for a quick find. Thanks heaps

Some muggles near GZ. Maybe next time

Finally I found the cache. Helps searvhing im the right spot! TFTC

Yay

went out for caching with pwala today
Weather was great.
Found it.
Thanks baluke

Out for a cache day in Eltham area with crank1, beautiful river nearby. TFTC and bringing us here.

A little tricky for me this one but Geo Dad to the rescue again.

I came with a friend and we had a very good look around and could not find it. A bit sad we couldn't find it but the baseball facts were really interesting!

A bit of time searching for this one. Found it tucjed away.

#1368 - 11.25pm
I was grateful for just the one spider web on the dark climb up.
The cache was not exactly where it should have been which simplified the find.
Repositioned in line with the clue and past logs.
The biggest challenge of this smiley was actually the awful smell in this area...
Thanks baluke. All is well with the cache.

Clambered up for a look and couldn’t see it and not keen to touch anything. This is a filthy location.

I tried my best but Aito (age 7) and Amon (age 5) were too worried about my safety. Perhaps I was looking in the wrong spot. At any rate, we gave up and moved on to other caches. Perhaps we will return another day!

I enjoyed this one. LouJean1970 and I are out and about again today and this was our first together. I made the find while Lou and GeoDaughter stayed safe with their feet planted on the Terra firma.
Thanks for the hide

The first find for the day with TaylorHunters09 who did the hard work for this one while I waited down lower with the geodaughter. TFTC

Been looking and gathering ideas for this before we decided to make the climb. Managed to climb up unseen by many muggles. Had a bit of a look around and just when we were about to give up... BINGO!!
Cameras help a lot TFTC

Almost three hundred finds! Who even knew there were that many geocachers! Some previous finders brought this one to my attention a very long time ago. And I was nearby over a year ago myself, but decided against the climb as my wrist had *just* been liberated from a splint and the thought of even a minor stumble was too much to bear. All was fine today though. The climb was straightforward and the cache was sitting in a mercifully non-icky position. Thanks Team Yarra!

It was a nice day for a ride with the geokid around this area to grab a number of caches. At the GZ we found the cache where we expected. We had to squeeze our hand in around to grab it!!

Found by Team Justice #1857

Out in the open. TFTC

decent climb, but easy find. TFTC

As the rain was coming down hard now it was time to finish off the day. it looked like we could find this one staying dry so we where off for the hunt. Love the hiding spot. very fun! Thanks.

Me and the flyingkangaro was out trying to get as many smiley faces as possible!
it was a very good day out. this was a nice quick find I had fun thanks.

Nice find

**Find #1188**

My first time here and I was amazed at the kayak training course in the river. The cache was laying in the open. I placed it back out of sight. The magnet is very weak.

Thanks **baluke**

TFTC.

Fifth find!!

Great cache!

I was fighting the afternoon traffic trying to get from Eltham to Springvale at 4.00pm I needed to get back to my desk to submit a report by COB but this was quickly becoming unrealistic. I had decided I was not going to stop for a cache as time was against me but once it became apparent that I wasn't going to make it I quickly came up with Plan B. Luckily I had scanned the documents, for the report, through to myself earlier in the day. Pulling up in the car park near this cache I was able to type up and send through my report from my phone and seeing as though I was stopped why not find a cache also. Just when it seemed to all be going to plan the rain started... Luckily I was able to search for this cache without getting wet and it was very quickly found. TFTC

Nice hide location, would be a little tricky to get to unseen in daylight.

So happy to have found this! I spent ages here a few months ago but wasn't able to find it, and there was a rotting dead rat on one of the beams at the time
I found it at the same place pmk49 mentioned, it definitely wasn't there the last time I was here. Thank you

Oh wow FANTASTIC spot we had so much fun trying to find it and as always was found by geolishy
TFTC

I found the cache laying on the support beam under the bridge.
The cache is not as magnetic as it should be.
It's not strong enough to hold the weight of the cache.
TFTC

1st find for the day with Cracka1. Lots of cyclists on the trail and traffic up above. Luckily a 'have you looked there?' call from me turned up the goods.

After dodging the cops several times may a quick dash to were we thought it was but soon had in hand

Third Time Lucky!

I had targeted this cache for completion this holidays for our 81 DT matrix.

Well we are never going to get the full 81 , so let's be realistic and call it our 63 DT matrix.

I think it will be still difficult to reach 63 but far more realizable than 81!!

Well, to be honest we had to PAF. So we had a little help with this our nemesis cache.

Also had to deploy middle child Will as he is a little more flexible than I! But I am still happy to claim the 2.5, 3.5 for our matrix.

Thanks baluke, Will and PAF (you know who you are) for this cache!

Gee what are we doing wrong here. Had another go today but the kids were getting a bit hot so we had to call it. We will be back even if we have to paf!

Beginning of the school Holies means time to keep the kiddies busy. Off caching it is then. Thanx for the cache baluke and the baseball lesson. Very informative on a sport I know little about. Dropped off a PATHTAG for the next cached.

Our second find on our bike ride from Westerfolds Park...this ended up taking about 20 minutes to find!! We scrambled up the slope from the path and walked around all over the place until our GPS finally settled down. We were 1 metre away from it but could not seem to retrieve it. We were about to give up because it was getting very warm..until we made the sneaky find. Happy we were able to say we found this one. A great hiding spot baluke- thanks for hide

This was supposed to be a long walk, finding caches by the track at convenient points. Instead this was the second T3.5 in the space of less than an hour. I knew where it would be but realised there'd be a bit of scrambling involved to get to GZ.
Nothing for it I suppose. FWIW, I chose the scrub geotrail as the path of ingress and egress, better grip than on bluestones.

TFTC, very slippery for someone recovering from broken olecranon requiring surgery

Found with ICW. I used a retrieval technique I learnt from observing Orangutans at the zoo. Tftc.

Went out for a nice walk today and actually took Clarinetina out for her first caches.
This was the first cache of the route and also the very first for Clarinetina.

The hint made it clear where to look and therefore the terrain was the most difficult part.

My very first cache! So much fun! Thanks DWP28 for taking me on my first search - won't be the last.

Clocking up a few on this trail and this one..I need this one. I've been by and scowled in it's general direction before, when I haven't been ready to tackle the terrain. But today I was up there, gingerly feeling about - found on the second go. thanks for the cache!

Not sure quite what to expect with this cache and probably made things more difficult than I needed. Anyway soon had the cache and we were able to SL. Thanks for the challenge.

My last and 20th find for the day. I almost gave up on this one, but after refocusing I was able to recheck somewhere where I had already checked. This time I came up with teh goodies, which I signed and now to get down!! Ahh! Going up was much easier!

Anyway I made it back down safely and headed home!

TFTC!

About to give up, then we found it. Careful not to slip!

This was our first find for the day and with the baby strapped on the front I wasn't sure we'd get it! But we did and found a more sane path back. TFTC - it was in the first place I thought to look, just not where we actually looked for ten minutes - gotta trust my instincts more LOL!

Yep even though all the members of plowfive had a go at this we couldn't obtain a smiley face. Kids had lots of ideas but finally called it off due to them wandering off a bit and safety.

Taking the dogs for a walk on a cold and rainy day we decided this was the perfect cache to collect as it was under cover and near the car park. Needed the hint, and still spent too long looking until the usual outcome when the three of us go caching together: Abby and I exhaust ourselves unsuccessfully until Bec gets exasperated and says "have you tried looking there"... and there, indeed, it is. Thanks for another fun cache Baluke!

Returned to find it. Recent experience led us straight to it this time!

Took a bit of groping about, but came up with the goods in the end. TFTC

Had about an hour between jobs so what do you do? Go caching. Sl thanks for the cache.

Late night foray - no luck. But will be back

Got it. Tricky though. We like tricky! Thanks

Popped in here this morning to get a puzzle gz and decided to come back this afternoon. There were a couple of kayakers honing their skills around the rapids below gz. Found quickly. TFTC

No luck today will try again

Found it - first ever geocache! Sneaky spot - TFTC xx MG

Found on my second attempt today. This time I braved up and stuck my hand in scary places. TFTC

I have unsuccessfully searched for this cache a few times in the past year and after reading a few of the recent logs I had a much better idea of where to 'look'. On our way back from our Easter break we stopped for me to make a quick find. It was in the second place that I tried. Thanks for the challenge, even if it was very scary standing on the edge.

Tftc

Tricky, clever

Took awhile to find it. Took a photo to make sure what it was before we grabbed it.

Took a bit of searching around for this one but got it eventually with a little help from a stick. Tftc
