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

----------

Hi there NoonaB,

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 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 don't have a crystal ball, so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, or you have been in hospital, or the area is in flood, 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 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 ensure you visit the page and post a note 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, 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.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Bunjil

Came through Longford today while out on a cache gathering adventure. Unfortunately this one has given me the slip today. Searched high and low and nothing showed up


PS: The Troll Dolls (TN6TR0) were with me today on my great caching adventures.

Looked for quite a while didn't find

Have a feeling it has been muggled. Looked for a fair while and had an idea of what to look for but nothing here. Thanks anyway

Did not find thanks Shadowwoman

DNF today

Yes it’s rusty! A good place to stop & stretch the legs. Tftc

Quick easy find on our way home from Seaspray unfortunately we were unable to extract the log to sign it so we have taken a photo instead TFTC

Found with margaretforr1987

Went past this one in the middle of school pick up so left & grabbed a few caches in seasoray. Quick easy find on our way back. Great hide tftc

Yep it’s rusty. Struggled to get the log out. TFTC

Finding was easy. Extraction difficult until I had a bulb light moment. Tool on craft supplies. Done dusted.. TFTC Greetings from Adelaide

Difficult if you don’t know what your looking for!
Easy find for us today!

After getting rained out at Golf at Yarram, it was time to get a few caches on the way to Paynesville.

Quickly spotted but couldn't get the log book out even with tweezers. I have taken a photo as proof of find. Please let me know if you want me to send it to you. Thanks NoonaB

A quick find on a lovely afternoon. A little bit of elbow grease needed to get at the log, but we got there! Thanks for the hide and bringing us here

After getting lost I ecided to geocache to make my day better. And it is a success . Tftc

Good one!
TFTH

Got up super early in the moring while visiting my in laws in Rosedale to drive the back road to Sale to grab some caches. Some lovely views and a spectacular sunrise!

Another nice easy find. TFTC!

A nice quick and easy drive by on a beautiful afternoon drive around the area before heading back home.
TFTC

Another day, another cache. Just filling in another blank on our 365 day calendar.
This is my favorite type of cache container so a favorite point from us!

Thanks for find #1795

Clever little hide, thanks for placing this here!

Could not find it without the clue, then went to unscrew it and realised it was a magnet, great vessel well done

Found it, thanks for the cache, no extraction tool grrrrrrr, took a bit but the geowife managed to get the log with out damage

Quick find for me. Not the kid. Couldn’t write on the log as I screwed up and forgot me tweezers

A quick place to park today, however the road was very busy with constant traffic!

We made a quick find and spotted the likely hide from some distance away and needed to wait for the opportunity to make the grab, return to the car to extract and sign, then the opportunity to return.

TFTC.

We moved south of Bairnsdale and enjoyed our caching there. Some of these roads less travelled are so great. This was one we targetted and found. Fav point alloc. Our thanks to NoonaB for placing this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

On way to home from Sale.
I had a great time finding your cache
NoonaB, thank you so much for placing it.

Found by The Empire + H
Heading out to Seaspray, picking up caches along the way! A quick find with no school for anyone this long weekend! Thanks for the cache NoonaB.

To many people around to have a real look.

Nice

Nice cache
Very hard to extract but tools essential
TFTC

Very impressive! We loved this hide, very clever. A place we drive past regularly and would never even know there was a cache there....and mums old primary school too. Thanks for the cache!

A great hide. No tweezers on hand and couldn't get the log out to sign it.

Tight fit for the log roll. Took a bit to get it out. Is in good condition...well a little rusty bit functional. Tftc

Day 6 and the last leg of my roadtrip. Bairnsdale back home.
36 caches today. I appreciated the safe parking at all the caches I stopped at today, makes a big difference!

Find #3

A quick find here but took ages to get the log out (tweezers were needed) and then even longer to get the log to stay rolled tight enough to get back into the container.

Signed and replaced.

Thanks

Found this one at the start of the caching day with ilook4geo. We had a lot of trouble getting the log out and had to use a couple of different tools to get there. The pen would not work on the paper, so had to resort to a pencil and be satisfied with faint initials. Cache was hidden again after finishing the signing and we were on the move again. Many thanks go to NoonaB for this cache placement.

The cache hunting is continuing while travelling along with goingplaces2. We had a good run today and found so many different kinds of containers and hiding places. Some were quite challenging to find and some were easier, but each one was a lot of fun. TFTC.

With a rare good day arriving a plan was hatched with Rebel Acts to head out towards Rosedale and complete the Giffard Road series and then loop back through Woodside towards home.
It was a great day with lots of frivolity and fun with the most common comment to each other being 'amateurs' when we found a cache. But we are not competitive!
We picked up a number of other caches outside the series and managed to get to others we hadn't planned on as our progress through the list was impressive. A total of 60 finds for the day!
A nice straightforward find. Had a lot of trouble signing the waterproof paper with a biro so finally resorted to a fine texta.
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 NoonaB for the cache.

Sneaky hide but I hate nanos. Kutgw

Fantastic cache, a favorite for this one

We found this one on our way to the next camp ground

Thanks for the cache

Greetings from the Netherlands

Love it!!
Found with help of GEOdog and a twig tool to extract log!!

TFTC quick easy find and log signed.

Wow tight fit! Tftc

Found after 5 mins search, it’s definitely hidden in plain sight. Had nothing to get the log out with, will return another time to sign the log.

Trusted our instincts on this one even though our coordinates were bouncing around like crazy! Easy find but opted to not sign the log given we realized we’d never get the log back in once we got it out!! TFTC

Found while out on a Sunday drive exploring the area

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.

We had the right tool with us making for a quick park and grab and once more we were on our way
Thanks noonaB for placing this series.

Found with Team Crackers. Yet another one of these today.

Camped at Gormandale 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

Straya Day Weekend - 60 Caches - A Guy, a Gal and a Boy - Great Family Day

We decided after a two year absence of serious caching that we need to get out more and gather some finds. Today had us heading East towards Rosedale and Longford before having lunch at Sale, we then tacked the Gifford series before having dinner at Yarram at the pub and heading home.

Nary a cache evaded us, and our competitive juices flowed and we couldn't be separated at the end of the day with 18 finds each, with a few joint finds.

Thank you for all the hiders for their efforts.

Our first cache after lunch in Sale, quick find by Campbell!!

Got it thanks

Fraai gedaan.Een favo.TFTC

We have just read the previous log and feel that we could copy and paste their log and it would read the same as what happened to us, the only difference was that I sat in a nice warm car to make our multiple attemps at rolling this log and keeping it tight. SL TFTC

Such as easy grab. Could see it from the car. Signed the log and then the fun started. I could not get the log tight enough to fit back in. I tried every trick I knew to no avail. My fingers were getting sore from the effort. Finally, on about attempt 7 or 8, I got it. Doesn't help that they were also getting cold. TFTC

Quick find with tassie expat while exploring this great area. Tftc

In the area today to do a few caches. It was a miserable day and well suited to a roadtrip and sightseeing.Thanks for the cache and safe parking.

Yeehaa, appointments all done and dusted and today we are free to cache. Nice one to start with, always appreciate something a little different. Tftc

Took a while to get the logbook out then
I chouldn't find my pen, so had to search car for replacement.
Found it down my shirt after leaving ground zero.

On a caching run with sharon14 and D@geo
Thank you for the hide NoonaB

A quick find with gwd.aussie and Sharon 14. Parked as close as we could and timed the grab in between passing traffic. Combining a bit of retail and caching therapy.

Thanks NoonaB

School holidays today so we were able to stop and survey the scene. There wasn't too many places to hide a cache and sure enough we had the rascal in hand. After signing the fun started. I took three goes to get the log small enough to fit, the Daff had a go and then gave up so i took over again and suceeded on the 2nd go, phew.
Thanks for placing this cache NoonaB

After completing the interesting Giffard Road Road series, we stopped by in Longford as we returned to Sale. A nice quick find before lunch.

Thanks for placing this cache 'NoonaB'

Quick find on way home from a stay st the Honeysuckles. Tftc

Looked too long for something hidden that may need extracting

First one for the day. Tftc

Tftc easy find. Log almost full

Quick find on a day exploring looking for easter bunnies. Logbook almost full

Simple find. Rusty it is-fits in well. Log very tight but eventually came out. And it’s nearly full.

Found it with bikesu. Tftc

Day 13 of our caravan trip going South from Queensland. We stopped at my birthplace Culcairn, explored Phillip Island and then Wilsons Prom. Met friends from Queensland in Port Albert and now heading home via The Great Alpine Road.

Revisiting the cache so my 2 sons can log in their own right.

**Find # 5696**

Camping down at The Prom, but took a day off to do some caching in Gippsland.
A quick find here, but a long extraction.
**Thanks for the fun NoonaB**

A quick stop on the way to the beach, a lovely little spot to stop, the log was a little tricky to remove, but with tools of the trade... Tweezers... It was quickly out, signed and replaced thanks for the hide NoonaB

Great hide found on a beautiful sunny day

Found this one quite easily , parking where we did. The perfect day for it, so we thought, but the traffic was so damn thick, you have to wonder where they went to.

Thanks NoonaB for this placement.

Had us tricked a little until VK3AWA got hold of it. Yep we did need an extraction tool.

Found with Geo Brother. Neat hide.

#1357 Day 5 of the 2017 Great Vic Bike Ride from Wilson's Prom to Trafalgar. This day's ride was from Seaspray to Bairnsdale (111km !). Coming into Longford pulled over and did this one. This end of the car park was nice and clear. The camo was nice, will give a favourite since it seems to catch out a few. TNLNSL. TFTC NoonaB

Hard to find.

On a road trip to Philip Island from Canberra and back for the weekend. One objective was to find at least one cache in each county/shire I passed through. A quick park and grab here, having made a wrong turn. TFTC.

Found just as the rain started, didn't sign log. Great cache, definitely still there, in plain site.

??

Found with geo wife kezza1211 and Rogerz1956 TFTC

We could not find. spent forever looking for it.

The real challenge was extracting the log. Tweezers came in handy.

Found with Geo Hubby TB142 and Geo Friend RogerZ1956. TFTC

Nice one tftc

A quick find today with hubby and the geokids as we continue our Gippsland holiday adventure. So many stunning places to visit! This was a quick find picked up on our way from Paynesville to Toora. Many thanks for the cache.

Right near home and a first one of this type. Love it TFTC

A quick find by Muggle Hubby, but much longer taken to remove the log. After carefully extracting it, and signing it, I took the time to roll it much tighter, so the next lucky finder won't have such an arduous task of removing it.
Thanks for the chance to stop and stretch our legs on the way to Leongatha

Stopped here because we simply couldn't pass a cache on route to our destination. Nice sneaky hide and our names are in the log book now. TFTC NoonaB

On my way to see patients in Stradbroke, I was a little early and pulled into the perfect parking spot to find this cache. A quick search, a familiar hide spotted then the difficulty ensued. A spur of the moment cache means no tweezers on hand - I have a photo of the cache and I and there's some pen marks on the log sheet made while trying to extract it but no clear name. TFTC NoonaB

Bill had this spotted from the car, and took seconds to retrieve it. Not so easy to get the log book out. The earring trick didn't work, but the broken drill bit was successful in getting that log book out. Quickly signed and replaced
cheers

We have a Longford in Tassie too. Ours is a lovely little town as well!
This one took longer to spot than it should have considering the number of them we have found over the years. Don't think we've ever had one with as strong a magnet though. This one certainly isn't going anywhere.
Did need the tweezers to extract the log though.
Thanks.

Found on a one month road trip around Australia. Sorry for the generic log. TNLNSL TFTC

Was looking too hard to see this one! Luckily not many cars and it wasn't a school day. TFTC

This one was the smallest I've found so far, smart hiding spot can't wait to find more.

Took a while to figure this one out. Quite brilliant. Didn't sign logbook as it was too hard to extract.
