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.

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###

----------

Hi there Cache Owner,

I notice from recent log entries that this cache would seem to be in need of owner intervention. Even though a Good Samaritan ('fenn family ') has assisted at this cache, it is still in need of owner attention.

I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on search lists. **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 %D% 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.

It's a little rusty

The kangaroos are real cute from this point

Easy find, TFTC, found with shez44 whom replaced the damaged log with a piece of paper we had spare

A quick find but log sheet is tattered and needs replacing. Have nothing in the car unfortunately. Tftc

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Nice cache but soaking wet. Could not sign log.
TFTC

Cache was full of water unable to sign the log . Good camo.. TFTC

Got the family up at 5.30 this morning to head out to Traralgon to do the Parkrun, Parkrun event, some breaky and some local cache. The weather was terrible today, sideways rain and wind with s chill in it. Anyway after breaky I decided would brave some of this trail alone, the fam were happy to sit in the car and play tech. Told them to come find me in an hour, and off I went. Was a nice little trail, and didn’t see a sole! Deeeeer... only one idiot out there today. Thanks for the fun.

Not in the spot I thought it was going to be, but found it anyway after some hunting around. Found a blank spot on the tattered old log to sign my name. Might need a new log soon.

Found today with Marshall’s Geelong!

Marshall’s Geelong found this cache today with LCASS on our Gippsland adventure,
Cache was easy enough to find. Log needs replacing. It’s all broken.

Thanks for the opportunity to collect so many smiles and have a pleasant walk. The road was very busy on this Easter Monday. TFTC

Easy find

Found after looking in the wrong place....needs a new log sheet

On the way to Tarra- Bulga NP
TFTC

Passing by on the way to Tarra-Bulga and couldn't resist grabbing a few of the series, most were quick easy finds and a couple took a short search to find

TFTC

Log in
this one is a bit in pieces but I manage to sign a piece of it

Tftc

Easy find thank you

Camped at Gormandale after returning from Tasmania. Out for a few caches today. Ninth for the day, quick find, cache and contents all good, good coordinates. Took nothing, left nothing. TFTC

Well, found it, but the log's in a sorry state Left a couple of small swaps for the next to find. Now I have to wait for the traffic to settle before I can replace the container. TFTC

We had not intended to do any of this trail today as our plans revolved around the Strzelecki State Forest, but we found ourselves close by and decided to give a few of them a try. SL TFTC

*Found with The Empire*

Out and about exploring the area.

We decided to grab this series en route to home, some taking longer than others but all found in the end. Enjoyed a few nice walks along the trail.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache and series for our enjoyment valleycaching. Appreciate your efforts.

Stamped and returned as found...

**Took**: *Nothing*
**Left**: *Nothing*

Cache-On!

Found by The Empire and Snap Happy
After exploring some towns along the South Gippsland Highway, we turned north toward Traralgon and decided to pick up the caches in this series before heading home. Some took longer than others but all caches were found by mid to late afternoon after some nice walks. Thanks for the cache, and the series valleycaching.

*22 Sep 2018, Found @ 4:01 pm, Find # 8340.*

Log is a bit of a mess in this one.

Today, I headed down the highway to Traralgon to attend the Parkville event and now that the event is over, it was time to find a few more caches while I was in the area.
I had now headed South to see if I could complete the TST trail on my bike before having to head for home.
There are some tricky hides and some straight forward ones as well and then there were a few that I just could not see at all but I didn't have my correct glasses with me for cache searching which didn't help but in the end I didn't do too bad.

**Thanks to valleycaching for placing this cache.**

Tftc easy find

Quick find tftc. Log is getting tatty.

TFTC!

Easy find TFTC

Bit sticky

Taking a new cacher for a run... thanks for the cache ... left a surprise ...

I went out with the scouts we found 5 of 7 caches we went with the help of eight torches pretty good effort.

1st Yinnar Scouts decided to do a night caching session, so we meet at the car park with 4 Scouts, 1 Cub and leader’s syllies and Shane280, to find some caches along the trail. We looked for 7 caches with touches in the dark and found 5. Thanks for the cache trail.

First the scouts searched on the wrong side of the path. after it was realised we have to look at the other side Shane 280 found the cache quicky.

I went out with the Scout tonight we found 5 of 7 caches we went to with the help of 8 touches pretty good effort.

Not quite where I expected. Log seems to have dried out nicely now. TFTC!

**# 20392** Found on a ride along the TST while staying nearby.
Not many muggles around today and a good variety of hides again.
Thanks for the cache valleycaching,
***Roostaman***

Having an escape day and spotted this one on the map... tftc thought it was going to be off ya bike

Auf der längsten Tagesetappe unserer Australienreise mit dem Mietwagen, haben wir auch hier einen kurzen Stopp eingelegt.

Vielen Dank an valleycaching sagt der Steinbeißer98

The condition of this cache was quite unusual. The container was nice and dry but the plastic bag containing the log was full of water and the log slimy. I tried and sodden

2km in ...... better keep moving ! Tftc

Haha nice one!! TFTC

TFTC

Our day to head out on the TST finally arrived. We organised ourselves by parking at the recommended places and then walking off in either direction to find the caches. It still meant quite a bit of backtracking and involved a lengthy walk, but it was a lovely day to be out in the area. Even saw an echidna, the biggest we have ever ween at the final cache!
We should have brought the deadly treddlies as this would have made the whole process much easier and it was a great day for a ride.
A good variety of hides and some bigger caches gave us the opportunity to drop off a number of Travel Bugs we had collected on our recent travels up north. Hope some other cachers are able to pick them up and move them on their way.
All in all a good, successful day out.

Out for a maintenance run today. All good here.
A new waterproof log is in place.
Happy hunting.

Our morning mission is to do this trail. Sadly we left the bikes at home so its a good old foot slog. Impressed with the quality and variety of hides on this trail and glad we have enough favourites to do justice to the awesome effort put in. Thanks for delivering a great morning for us. Tfts The log in this one is very wet and not signable, placed some new sheets in. Tftc

Tftc. Log soaked. Needs replacing

*Staying in Traralgon for a couple of nights, we have enjoyed riding the trails, placed so close to town. TST - a variety of caches, hidden in a range of locations, a great ride for a couple of seniors - 28/30!*
Cache was sitting in water - returned a bit higherthan how we found it.

**Feedback to CO** We tried the "JeansPress" to dry the log, but a fresh log would be appreciated.

Thanks valleycaching for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Tricky tricky. Not where I thought it'd be. TFTC

We attempted the TST series in November 2016 and managed to find all but five of the caches. As we were in the area today prior to our return to Tassie, we decided to look for the five caches again as we understood that each one had been replaced.

Accurate coordinates and an obvious hiding place led to a quick find. Apart from being the residence for about 100 ants, the cache and contents were in good condition. The ants were evicted before we replaced the container. Thanks valleycaching for the cache and the series.

DV family treasure hunt day

Continuing our ride along the TST we find yet another cache. Very classic hide.
Thanks, Silkyie.

Found it, great spot

The neighbours were lurking, the kangaroos were staring, the cache was in hand

Found with emmyd5. Easy find with a nice view of some kangaroos

2km mark of the journey. Lotsa fun so far ::)))) TFTC

Thay ger eseyer as i go

frmen1 and I ran away from home for the weekend with the view to target this road and surrounds. We walked the 14kms (there and back), taking adequate water and food supplies with us. A great day for it. Our smartphones had us on the other side of the track. Tried not to look suspicious for the muggles opposite. Finally made find, then the gps settled to 2m at gz. Grrrr! TFTC

Found with tassieexpat while exploring this interesting area. TFTC

Found with Team Loesch

Took a little while but found tftc

Easy to find if you fell off your bike.
CJJAHC

Easy but well hidden

We are on our regular Wednesday geocaching trip & today we are attempting to walk the TST both ways discovering all the caches on the way. Thanks to the CO's for setting up this well maintained trail.
We have given a Favourite listing to both the first & last caches in recognition of the trail as well as the odd worthy cache.
First 2km under our belts.

2nd time round!!!

Yay!! Thankyou

~ PBF

Sorry for the late log. With giraffe _legs. Tftc

Finally found this one

When I read in the description that it is a simple, straightforward hide, with very few possibilities, it sometimes strikes fear into my heart that I am going to be the first to not find it simple or straightforward. As it turned out there was no need to panic as it did turn out to be simple and straightforward. Phew
Thanks to valleycaching for placing this cache.

Nice wander down the path, and a nice little cache

Gosh it's great to be out and about on the bike again
Most of me favourite, and high 'smilie-count' caching days have been by bike
Today's weather sort of threatened to rain on me,
but so far it hasn't

And with More to Go!,
I soon found this cache

Cool

Haha almost gave up!

We just found it
Thanks for the hint Mrs KI bug
Hint:How long have you been going for?

Nice hide. Found using the hint in the comments.
Tftc!

Wife had texted that she was on the return trip of the Strzelecki Trail. This meant my time was starting to run out getting caches before the run home. That meant needed to run faster between caches and fine them quicker.
Got to gz, and saw the 2km mark post and took this photo, then went looking for the cache container and found it very quickly.
Thanks for the cache Valley Caching

The muggles have been busy so a slight change in location.

New coordinates - S38 16 309 E146 32 801

Happy hunting.

Coordinates changed from:
S 38° 16.310 E 146° 32.799

Coordinates changed to:
S 38° 16.309 E 146° 32.801

Distance from original: 11.3 feet or 3.4 meters.

Note new coordinates.

It appears that while we were away the muggles came to play.

As we are the sixth dnf this cache needs checking.

We spent about 10 minutes searching for this cache. There are limited places to hide a cache here. We fear that this cache is missing. No find for us here today.

Had a really really quick look but due to lack of conference we left it.

Suspect its gone missing

Came back for a second look after not finding on Saturday. Still no luck. Maybe missing?

Look up don't walk past

After a couple of geocachers had said this one was AWOL we decided to go see. The cache was basically in the correct place - just centimetres away from perfect. It is fine, sitting and waiting for another visitor. Go find!

Expected this to be exactly where we thought but unfortunately after much searching there was no avail. Maybe it's fallen off and gotten lost?

Found but not where we were expecting. Funny feeling this has fallen off and moved as we found it in a ditch. Needs urgent maintenance.

As funkyfish described, found more than 5metres from expected location. Magnets no longer working. I placed cache in expected location to await maintenance.

Easy find... Tftc

While visiting Traralgon today to attend a BBQ event we picked up some local caches as well in the company of Alansee. Nice easy location for a hide. TFTC valleycaching

Found with The Tritonz. Another quick finding after reading the unsubtle clue although it was hardly necessary.

Yes am easy find. TFTC.

I have brought my halfblood sister for a walk on this wonderdul trail to complete more of the series. Tyftc.

Nice it was a easy find for my son

This was a nice and easy find. Very quickly had cache in hand.
Found with jazz83 and geo kids.
