Hi there Cache Owner,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **possibly** needs 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 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 you need to do:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache** - once checked, place an Owner Maintenance log and then enable the cache.

- **Place A Write Note Log** - indicating a date when you expect it will be restored.

- **Adopt Out or Archive** - depending on whether you want it kept or for it to disappear.

Full details for each of the above choices can be found at [**GEOCACHE MAINTENANCE**]( https://wiki.groundspeak.com/display/GEO/Victoria) on the Regional Policies page.

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. [xx(]

Cache is missing from the hiding spot, based off the photo of a past log, it's been removed

Cache missing from hiding spot, needs replacing.

Found a likely spot but no luck here today
Cheers

No luck, we were looking in the right spot according to a local, but cane away empty handed.

We are visiting Bright fpr the weekend to run at the Buffalo Stampede. With the 10km run done on Friday we headed to Myrtleford to do the local 5km parkrun. Afterwards we took the opportunity to do some local caching & the Adventure Labs. Had fun completing this one. Tftc!

TFTC nice quick find on our way home to Gisborne

After completing the B2B Beechworth to Bridge walk from Beechworth to Bright over the past three days, a walk for suicide awareness, I found myself not in the right headspace to return to Shepparton. So I decided to stay over in Myrtleford for a couple of nights. I actually had my phone turned off for 48 hours. But how was I going to Geocache? I headed to the library and wrote down the coordinates and a little bit of info and then headed out the door with notepad in hand. I entered the coordinates in my Garmin eTrex 10 and off I went. With the coords and info I had written down I had no trouble finding any of the caches. Nice hide here TFTC

Great views , easy find
TFTC

Bit out of our way but easy find

Week away with Bogonghazy. Quick find on our way home. Thanks ggtroll for placing the geocache

Found with LittleBoss2 on our way back from Bright. Quick find and a great spot for sport. Thanks jjtroll

When our way home from a great weekend for you from Beechworth, Myrtleford, Stanley and the surrounds️

Out with the family caching today. Started the morning with picking up a few of the HSS series in Murmungee, then onto Nug Nug, lunch at Lake Buffalo then drove Goldies Spur track and took in the amazing views of the Vic high country. Finished off the loop around Mt Buffalo at Myrtleford.

Homebound now. Picking a few up along the way. Lots of training happening tonight, footy, netball and what looks like a yoga class.

TFTC !

Good spot but dog walking muggles required a quick cover story.

Found it ! Thanks for that one. Usually Just found nanos lately - this one is quite big . Greetings from Hamburg, Germany

Completed previously as BlackOpal2005. My daughter I thought it was time to create our own accounts.

Vinz was just doing the rounds today and this was pretty close by for an easy grab.
Happily this cache also had a resident guardian who was happy to pose for a photo.

Out & about caching today. Great view of the mountains. Kids had a muck around. Quick find. TFTC

Thanks for the cache

Great find!!!

Great hide. Thanks.

Found 2nd August 2022

Geocaching with mum while sister was at work 2/8/2022

Just about ready to find some lunch so a nice quick 1 was in order! No footy here today so no problems. TFTC

Found on a cold wintry day with Sterling 24 whilst the footy was underway. TFTC

Found with Bushpig69

It's lovely to be able to explore myrtleford thanks for bringing me to another part to explore

Nice find

Gotcha - Found with a bit of searching. Tftc

Found

Found it with my grandparents! Very fun

Been looking around the wrong tree forever but then went to another and found it my first time doing this

Found by Mary and David at 10:05. Several passes he3re before we located GZ. Wouldn't try this one on game or training days. The two biggest huntsman spiders we've seen in a while were guarding the container. A gorgeous area and great facilities for the locals. Our thanks to ggtroll.

With Lockdown 6.0 finally over, the whole OSHFAM clan including Babcia escaped to Punkah for the week to get a break from the confines of Melbourne. A rare opportunity for hubby and I to go out caching together without kids especially as hubby initially preferred to be the muggle husband but I have managed to get him interested more and more lately.

We found suitable parking for the car and made the short wander into GZ. Hubby found the cache easily enough as a small part of it was exposed to view. The log sheet was rather full so I decided to add in a clean fresh new logbook to keep this one going without the need for CO maintenance intervention.

The views of the mountains were lovely here.

Thank you for the cache here ggtroll

TFTC. Found with an 8 legged friend hanging out with cache.

Found while on holidays, gps sent me round in circles for a while till we zeroed in on it. Tftc

A fun time was had doing this one in the dark.TFTC

Found it in the dark!! Very discerning with huge trees looming in torch light. Great fun. TFTC

Good find

It's been a few years since I played Snakes and Ladders so I figured I'd attend this event in Myrtleford to see what all the fuss was about
I was amazed at all the greetings between teams and the sense of rejoicing: until I realised that in Vic an event is a rare thing these days as well as for the past year! No wonder everyone was so happy![^]
My day started with the event at 11am[^] and then finished with my last cache find at 11pm[|)] on the way back to my van[|)][xx(][|)] In between, I found 14 caches, attended the event and also did an adv lab to round out the day[^] Although that rounding out the day left me exhausted from walking way further than I should[xx(][|)][xx(][xx(] so rather than walking all the way back to the car I rang a taxi and the lovely man picked Rex and I up and drove us back for a tiny fee[:X][:X]

Rex enjoyed a wander around here[^] and it was a shame that dog training wasn't happening because he could have joined in and maybe learned something

TNLN. SL. TFTC ggtroll

Yep. I remember now.
I just looked at my GC.com dashboard and discovered a couple of draft logs not posted and this was one of them.
I had written the log telling the CO of the fun I had chasing caches including this one just after attending the "Snakes and Ladders" event with Cybergran V and showing off my new girl catnap777. [^] I just hadn't posted it. [:o]
I guess I wasn't just over the mountains, I was over the moon.

TFTC ggtroll.
My appologies for the late log which I have backdated to the day of our visit. [8)]

After the Snakes and Ladders Event today we made our way to this little spot to pick up one of the few caches I didn’t have in this lovely town.
Found in the company of Muggle Hubby, dalerious and catnap777
Thanks for another smiley on our map

In Myrtleford attending the snakes and ladders party kindly hosted by Bettyboo3747. Nice easy park and grab. Cache found in good condition.

Tftf

Found it

Cache had been taken from spot and contents were on the ground a few meters from the original hiding spot. Managed to put back everything except for the logbook which was missing. TFTC

Found with Jessicadale21 on 3/1/21 was a wet one. First geocache I completed.

Nice one

We found it ! Some very wonderful little gifts here.

Nice find

Gotchya!!! On To The Next!

TFTC. We had returned to Myrtleford to continue a journey broken by the snap lockdown a few weeks ago. While driving around we were close to this one for an easy find

A long weekend away is enhanced by some geocaching! Thanks for a great kid-friendly cache.

Day 2 of our getaway to Beechworth, and we were out and about with micaparamedic, Geoturtle37 and Papi4506. This afternoon we ventured out to Stanley and Myrtleford. This was quick find for Chunk. TFTC ggtroll.

Nice little spot

This is my first cache for the day, which is looking out to be a glorious day. I’m happy to be out and about in Myrleford today

Was raining at the time good find took about 7 mins

Good find

School holiday time at Christmas – hooray. A week in Beechworth in the caravan (3 times already to Beechworth) with our daughter. Sunny all week, window shopping, visiting historic sights, walking in the bush, supporting local businesses, & geocaching of course. Found at high noon very quickly by JK.

This was a fun one, thanks!

Easy find beside muggle close by

Found it

We stayed the late in Tallangatta to finish off the High Country Rail Trail labs and bonus after which is was time to head high doing a few more labs and other caches as we went.

We agree with the cache page that this has a lot different things to do but we were quite happy that there was nobody doing anything on them today. There was one person sprinting on the oval but other than that we had the entire area to ourselves which meant that we just followed the GPSr needle to gz where the cache was locate din the second place we looked and our name duly added to the log.

Thanks ggtroll for the cache, we feel that this are could be very busy on sports day.

Sorry it has taken so long to get to logging this cache.
We arrived to find a small group of muggles playing cricket and as we were a little concerned about where the cache might be. Luckily for us, it was well away from play and the spectators.
Thanks for placing this cache for us to find.

Day eight of Beechworth camping road trip with Papi4506, Geoturtle37 & RoamingHowie, working our way through various must-dos.
Our first for the day as we head towards Myrtleford.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache, ggtroll

2nd last day of the cache adventure with OzHockeyChick, GeoTurtle37 and Papi4506. Off to collect the final Randolph and some labs along with a few other key caches. So much more to return to.

I had fun collecting this log. It was great to find and explore this area with my caching friends. Great to see the juniors getting involved in caching. This was a good hide and we loved the cache.

Thanks ggtroll for the cache.

Our first geocache. Thought it would be a nice walk to the park from the caravan park. Simple but fun nonetheless. Plenty of random stuff in the container

Boyfriend ran off to find this one, nice and quick find.

A quick P&G after our lake Buffalo trip today.
Great view of Mt Buffalo, you can see a few of my caches up there from here!

TFTC

Lovely cache in a nice spot, although ironically just missed a pile of dog poo beside the bin to collect it.

Cache had been moved to the open. Has been rehidden. TFTC

Many cache owners are already aware: As per Groundspeak guidelines, I am claiming find because physically found under TeamOzcat. I undertake this not for disinterested statistical purposes, but because of inability to revisit this cache, and/or because it's so damn confusing when viewing the local district geocache maps. I sincerely thank all CO's for time and effort in placement of their caches. Cheers Reg.

We are touring and camping locally enjoying what this area has to offer. Hanks to CO for cache placement. Would like to add that there is a TB registered to this cache, but there was no TB contained within.

No footy today, clear run. Tftc

Found some cool caterpillars looking for this one

Quick easy find with Jackez74 TFTC

A quick and easy find with Matho64. TFTC Beautiful views of the mountains.

Great find. One happy first Cache!!!

Let the GeoMutts out for a run.
Grabbed a quick cache as well.
Bonus! Time to head for home. Not gonna call Melbourne "The Big Smoke"! Myrtleford has that honour today, sadly.

We were waiting for our friends to come over the mountains. They were going to join us at the Golden Spurs Rodeo yesterday. Sadly with the fires in their area, it was not an option for them to leave at this time. Swapped out a horse charm keyring, because we were here for a rodeo. Dropped a Christmas Cracker Compass/
Thanks for the cache while our Geomutts, EveTheStaffy and MaxTheCollie had a good run.
