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 PLEASE** ###

Hi there kyjaquane,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **MAY** need some attention. You would have received an automated email from Geocaching HQ recently which explained what needs to be done.

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) .

**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.

I think I was on to something

Did not find today

Looked for ages with no luck, worked out were it used to be but couldn’t find its new hide

Not in exact location due to councils removal of structure, hence magnet cannot attach. Nearby shop owner very helpful and can direct to spot close by!!
Shop owner spotted us searching

I think the thing it was on got taken away cos I went back to check and it wasn't there.

Did not find

Unfortunately due to unexpected council maintenance, this cache is temporarily offline but will be back soon!

Had a bit of an attack on caches in Sale, combining it with a long overdue visit to my Sister and a catch up with two caching friends, robmc and BettyBoo. I was invited to bring along the pushie but mine doesn't have batteries so I borrowed my brother in laws postie bike which was much easier than peddaling. Only for today though!
Found the cache Thanks.

#15182. Robmc and I walked the walk around Stratford this morning and now here we are on the E-bikes with Howjen567 gathering up a few more within a long cooee of our accommodation. I believe we covered over 17km whilst gathering up an extra 5 smilies.

Last one for the day and with accurate coordinates it didn't take me long to spot the container. We have left a new log sheet here today so all is good to be found.

Thanks kyjaquane

Our second day around Sale with BettyBoo3747.
While we were waiting for Howjen567 to arrive we drove up to Stratford and walked the sculpture multi..
In the afternoon we rode around Sale with Howjen567 and collected a few more.

With three of us it made the cache search a lot easier.
BB spotted it quite quickly.
The log was mangled and fairly full so we replaced it.
Thanks, Robmc.

Nice plain sight hide thanks for the cache

Nicely hidden in plain sight.
The log book has seen better days and is in tatters.
Tftc

Perfect

Found this cache quickly with my daughter. She spotted it from the car. Thanks for the cache!

Damn i haven't found a cache since last year.... yesterday!!!
Sorry bad joke.
But seriously my first find for the year and what a cool one.
We usually stop at this Aldi on way out to camping, last year we parked 2 spots away from here.
Thanx and happy New year.

Also log book needs replacing will send pic to owner. Cheers

A quick fuel stop in the area en route from Bermagui to Geelong gave me a chance to quickly check the map for a nearby park n grab. This fitted the bill nicely and was found by B and the youngest GeoKid. TFTC

Another one found story kids have found this as well

Found it

Nice one. Thanks. First one out of Pakenham! Needs maintenance.

PM TUMUT NSW travelling around Oz with my caravan and mountain bike

Despite it being a work day, there were very few people around GZ enabling us to look without muggles. The cache took a while to find and it was only when one of us placed a hand in a particular location that the cache was felt and retrieved. It blended very well into the hide location. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks kyjaquane for a good hide - it earns a favourite from us.

Nice walk through Sale this evening tftc

Quick drive by with tassie expat while exploring this great area. Signed with initials only. Tftc

A quick find with frmen1 after dinner. Laughed once I saw gz. I'd come up with a much more medical idea. TFTC

Where the fuck is this nigga

Easy find.
Thought it would have been a bit harder due to its location.
l left the pen in the car with the muggle woman.

Found it on way back home from a 97's 21st birthday dinner... needs a new log .....

What was to have been a quick weekend trip to Melbourne to accompany leafotwind on his 3,000th cache find (since I had also recently completed the Victorian Premiers whereigo ) became an 8 day trip because there was a CITO [^] at Traralgon the next day which then led to Mallacoota and the Snowy Mountain Highway [^] since I couldn't legally use the Great Alpine Road as I didn't have snow chains because the boring freeway back to Melbourne and then back to Shepparton didn't sound like fun

The first day, I met my sister in Bendigo as she waited for her semi to be unloaded and reloaded, so we went op shopping in the meantime[:X] From there it was off to Melbourne and the group find of the Victorian Premiers whereigo which had taken me to many spots in Victoria [^] Then the group slogged our way up a slippery, muddy slope [|)][xx(] to get a couple of simple drive by 4 x 4 caches (when the tracks are open) before caching on into the night

I made a find on a previous DNF at Moe then it was off to Clean Up a Creek at Traralgon [^] followed by finding some bloody good caches (both containers and reasons for placement) around the area with leafotwind, NoWorries andAlphaDeltaIndigo [:X], chatting to Crisp image as the group found Wherever I Lay My Hat before Rex and I left the group, walking in the Crinigan Road Bushland Reserve at dusk[^], seeing a huge Dr21 dredger once used for coal mining and now placed at Morwell, finding a tiny grave in the middle of a shopping area , finding my 1st 3D printed cache container and then it was off to the Lakes Entrance area and wandering out on the peninsula[^]

Seeing old RAAF airfields and radio bunkers, seeing tiny country towns and meeting some great people (including an almost muggle woman and her children in Mallacoota where she had previously looked for 1 cache and who may now get into geocaching properly [^]), seeing the sun rise while surrounded by kangaroos and standing on the eastern coast of Vic and chatting with Rollmatrix throughout my time in Mallacoota and Genoa

Spending a few hours chatting with a lovely truckie, Michael [:X], who was on a wood chip run to Canberra as we traversed the countryside in the dark (after I had apologised for slowing down his fully laden rig as Harry crawled his way up a hill ) then I pulled into Cooma for a break and an EC and also found a cache, Southern Cloud, about the aircraft accident and then accidentally ended up at another memorial cache, Southern Comfort, Southern Cloud or Southern Storm, later on in the trip

Seeing brumbies amongst the snow along the edge of the road at night in the mountains in NSW [^], seeing a thermal pool early in the morning with steam rising from it in the cold air and water plants growing up from the sandy bottom [^], seeing the grave of the alleged Man from Snowy River while finding the multi The Man from Snowy River - HCPPP [^] and then chatting to SciFiRulz who I managed to sneak in a quick visit with before heading home and finding The Highest Railway Station on the way

Over the 8 days there was 9 DNFs (although I did manage to find a few on my 2nd attempts ), 1 CITO event attended and a total of 111 cache finds including 3 FTFs

As I am about 8 months behind in logging, I'm resorting to template logs to catch up.
My heartfelt thanks to the COs who have placed some tricky, funny, exercise required, scary, interesting and devious caches in some amazing spots! [^]
Rex and I have had some amazing adventures and enjoyed some incredible moments thanks to this fantastic hobby

Took a couple of passes to find and then some diversion tactics to obscure what I was doing but got it done without discretely

After a cold foggy start, we spent the day very close to Sale, trying to convert some of the many trads and multis to smiley tokens, before moving to Bairnsdale tomorrow.

Our third CBD find this morning - love the cache name!

Thanks 'kyjaquane' for this placement.

Good spot

Found it

Nice hide. Found with Bianx

Found

Spotted this one almost straight away. TFTC.

This was the last cache of the day and for my 5 day road trip from Pakenham to Wagga Wagga, Bathurst, Sydney, Mollymook, Bairnsdale then home.

What an adventure. 87 caches in total, a lot lower than my last trip but Bathurst was the main goal. Driving around Mt Panorama was a dream come true.

First time through Sale as I usually bypass the town but today I wanted a cache here so picked one at random.

A quick find here, nice and quiet being a Sunday late morning.

Signed and replaced.

Thanks for the cache.

Since moving from New Zealand I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches.
So far I’ve knocked off 4 of the states. VIC, SA, NSW and A.C.T
No two areas are the same here and almost every place I go is stunning. The beauty of caching is that it takes you to so many places you would never usually find.
Thank you to all the cachers out there for hiding and maintaining their caches. Especially to those who put so much effort into creating unique and fun hides.
The caches I’ve found in Australia so far have for the most part all been in great condition. Keep up the good work.

Heute sind wir unterwegs Richtung Nordosten. Unterwegs besuchten wir einige Caches. Das Zufallsprinzip führte mich hier her.
Dieser Käsch hier war nach kurzer Suche auch unterschreiben.

Regards from Switzerland Grüsse garuda75

Took a minute to find. Where kicking ourselves after we realised how easy to spot it was. TFTC

Found it on a nice Muggle free Easter Sunday. Scratched the head a little bit at first due to wandering coords on my phone. SL TFTC

Spending the Easter weekend in Sale and had to do some shopping at Aldi. I saw that this one was close by, so off I went to investigate. 2 trips around Gz, and the cache was found. Cigc. Tftc

Good spot, lots of muggles about, bit of stealthiness needed for this one

I was on my way to Melbourne via the Monaro and driving through this town where i stopped for lunch, so decided to have a quick look for this cache. I had to wait for a muggle to move, who was right near the cache. At first I couldn't work out the meaning of the title...aha. Log needs replacing here on this one.
Then it was back in the car to continue my journey south. TFTH

Very smart

Cleaver hide - hidden in plane sight

FYI hider - Cache needs a log book

A good one to boost the confidence for an afternoon of caching around Sale. TFTC.

In Sale this morning to shop, so as this one was nice and quiet, we made the quick easy find and then left before the muggles arrived.

Thanks for the placement here, a good one to cross off the list.

Good day for it. Tftc

Tyftc

Having a driving break with a few quick finds around sale . Tftc

It was a barmy night so I decided to go for a quick drive, I checked out my map and this was the one that was left close by. Great little hide
TFTC

We visited this spot late in the afternoon and as we were about to search a car parked nearby and then we realised that the nearby shop was also a problem. So we headed off to look for some other caches and returned about an hour later. We searched for a little while and eventually checked some other logs. A little more searching and there it was. How did we miss it? TFTC

Trip for the day for LGA and Atlas challenge.
Weather is great
Few showers not all the time.
Parking on prefect GZ
Found it.
Thanks kyjaquane

Good hide spot Thanks for the cache and hunt

What a rippa, gobsmacked wow on the roof really??

A little bit of a delay in logging this one. Found late one night while killing some time. TFTC

Fiund a while back forgot to log TFTC

Good hiding spot!

Loved it well hidden

First find for today. Comments helped us to think outside the box, as did the name.

Tftc

Nearly didnt need to get out of the car. T4tc

Found with Geo Hubby TB142 and Geo Friend RogerZ1956. TFTC

Wow how come this is still here would have thought muggles would have taken it by now. Clever. Leaves blowing into tne shops

Sneaky but easy little find!

TFTC easy find...

Hey very sneaky easy find very quiet here... Tftc

After a lovely dinner out for my sister in town we decided to sober up with a walk in the cold air... then we realised that we were well and truly sober because we'd had our last drink hours ago! Time flies when you're having fun! So we drove you this one and had complete freedom to search because there was absolutely noone around! Made the find a quick one. Thank you for the cache!

Nice quick find without drawing attention tftc

??

Good one thanks

Easy find on a Saturday afternoon. Clever hide for the spot and I guessed where from the title.

Quick drive by on our way home. 3 hours to go. Tftc

A quick drive by where we got to sign it in the warmth of the car. TFTC

Overlooked in plain sight for a bit but quick find once our final member arrived. Tftc

Great hidey hole. Took a few minutes to find.

Can't believe we never knew it was there till now

We were wandering around town looking for somewhere to have lunch, making sure we went past this cache. There was nothing down this way to eat but that didn't matter because we found this boldly hidden cache and that was the real plan......but we do need lunch now

Thanks kyjaquane

This is my first geocache
