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.

If you wish to contact a Reviewer regarding this cache, please send an email via the profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the Cache Name and GC Identification Code.

Hi there Roma_Schlow,

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

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

Nothing other here to see

Just had a look withBrigstar and wasn’t able to find it.
Was getting a bit dark so will come again to give this another shot.

Would love to know if it’s still there though.

We’ll my DNF funk continues. Had a feeling I’d know what type of cache I was looking for.. could not find anything here today

This was far too sneaky for this cache, or is it missing?

Found but no lig

Found with margaretforr1987 but there is no log its all wet

After discovering one like this hide yesterday we thought that we would give this one another shot and we got it straight away. Tftc

Not sure if this has been replaced or not as we couldn't find anything at GZ

Nice day for a walk and to collect some smiles. TFTC
Very sneaky. Can't log find

At a job in Traralgon and knew I would be finished at 1pm so I asked my niece if she wanted to go Geocaching as we haven’t done any caches since COVID started back in March.
Quick find stamped what’s left of the log thanks for the cache.

Unable to write on the log , clever hide on a busy intersection . Tftc

Found couldn't log as log destroyed nevermind tftc with maggiemae1801 and chiko24

Found but couldn't write on the log. It is wet and damaged. Lovely few hours out hunting with Chiko24 and Tooth66

Definitely needs a new log now

Log sheet soaked and torn. Tftc

Hmm first time seeing a cache like this one! TFTC had us searching for a little while beginning to this it was not here!

First cache like that
Had us searching for a while...
TFTC

Sun was shining and a day off meant a caching trip with Ski Pair, a plan was hatched with a list of around 70 caches on it as we headed out to tackle the Giffard Road Series and a few other caches we passed along the way. We managed 2 FTF's and I found My 17,000 cache.

Thanks Roma_Schlow for the cache.

We are enjoying a long awaited caching weekend away. Our research suggest there were some pretty good caches down this way. Today the plan was to hit up Churchill. Thankfully have seen this sort of hide before, so quick find but well placed and worth a fav. Tftc

A very quick find. I remember the first one like this I found on a rusted out sports car. I was on a dirt track west of Mackay and I knew I wouldn't be back. I'd been there about 30 min when I decided to log a end. I took a photo and onvthe photo this stood out, so grabbed it.
This cache log is wet unfortunately as they often become
I managed to sign it but don't know how well that will last as other signatures have faded with the weather.
Tftc

Very sneaky

She was a bit on the soggy side but managed to jot names on the log. First one back after having an op 2 weeks ago. Having major cache withdrawls......tftc

Out on a girls day out with OzHockeyChick, geoturtle37 and becNmonts caching in the local area.
A great drive by cache for my mystery at the Museum challenge. TFTC

Simples

A great hide. Very clever. TFTC

Fun cache. Love these ones. Thanks!

Chaab002 did all the hard yards but we found out. TFTC!

Great Find! Thanks!

Catching up with some very late logs

We had set aside a few days to explore Gippsland with alansee endeavoring to aid him reaching 30,000 finds before the Queanbeyan mega event at Easter.

We visited rail trails, parks, mountains seeing beautiful scenery along the way as well as enjoying some lovely walks as well as some easy drive by's. The weather was mostly kind to us enabling us to search for the caches in comfort.

This was indeed a nice easy park and grab an we were soon on our way to the next one.

Thanks roma schlow for the cache.

Found with Team Crackers today. Cache was found easily.

Found after the event in town today. Nice quick pick up. Thanks

Found on 24 Feb 2019 at 11:39 am.
Today Fleabag- wanted to head over 120km from home for this event and grab a few large and "?" size caches he was looking building up for a challenge we are working on so I came along.
As we turned the corner I told Fleabag- what I thought this would be and I was right but for some reason at GZ I didn't even look for what I thought it would be !! Don't know what I'm thinking sometimes.
Thanks roma_schlow for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

I am targeting cache sizes other than small and micro for a challenge and today I had a few marked pkus an event. As he often is my geobuddy was keen to accompany me for the trip and we brought out littlest geokids each for extra eyes to search. Spiffy mentioned what he thought this would be and then over complicated it. He is very organized at caching and disciplined but these other caches can leave him baffled. Thanks to roma_schlow for the placement and fun.

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

Thank you

Hi there Roma_Schlow.

Today we chauffeured SKI Pair around the area as they did a maintenance run on some of their caches. We also managed to find theirs (and a few others) while they looked on with amusement at some of our search techniques.

We are really impressed with the quality of the caches we found today, a lot of thought and effort has gone into their location, size and placement.

All up we found 11 caches & DNF'd 0 in this cache run. Thanks for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places while we meander our way around Australia.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** **The log is full. Unfortunately we didn't have anything to replace it with.**
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Nothing.

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Wow, it’s been 8 and a half months since the last log on this cache, so we weren’t all that sure if the cache was still there or not, but happy to find all is well and we soon added our name to the log. Our 700th find, yay! TFTC

Found this one while out during a walk to the shops. Good little fine, TFTC

First to sign new log. A really good hide. Tftc. Sit n ponder n look what I see....

Well I certainly got some weird looks from passing motorists as I searched what ended up being the wrong structure... luckily after getting onto the right spot it was a quick find. Thanks for the cache

Wasn't very difficult, but a nice one all the same!

Extra quick but sneaky hide! Tftc

Wow that is gold I like this one found with noonaB

Found with belladeka. What a fantastic log! After searching everywhere practical, it was the one thing I hadn't tried. Thanks for a great, sneeky find! A favourite point from me

On this very wet Tuesday evening Geodad found quite a sneaky cache. After a bit of searching and log reading he came up with the cache. Thanks. Silkyie

A quick find and then off to lunch. Thanks for the hide.

Nice one. Well this is my last for 2015. It's been a great year and a great adventure and look forward to more in the future. This is also number 100 for me so another reason to be excited. Hope everyone has a fantastic new year and hope to meet some fellow geocachers in the future and be safe.

Nice easy find tftc

Quick find, was disappointed in myself for not having alerts set up for new caches once I had realised this popped up on the map. Tftc

It is great to see some new caches in Churchill, our home town!
We had seen this cache pop-up some time ago, but with one thing and another we have not been round home a lot nor had the opportunity to get out and find it. Today we drove straight past GZ and then the penny dropped, "Hey there is a cache there!" So we did a U-turn, went round the roundabout again and pulled up at GZ.
We had no equipment including any GPSr device with us, but viewing online had told us approximately where it was. As we pulled up we could see the possibilities and true to form we found it at the final one! A nice hide.
We enjoy micro caches in open areas like this where the possible hiding places are limited, but you need to be a bit clever to spot it. Well done.
TFTC

A nice quick drive by. Thanks roma_schlow FTC.
