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.

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

----------

Hi there kozicka,

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, 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.
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 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, 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

Had a brief look around, no luck

Didn't find it, I don't think it's here any more.

Really nice view but the cache is gone

Nothing here but a gorgeous view.

Beautiful view from this spot but unfortunately no sign of the cache, even though there was a very tempting spot that matched the description.

Suspect this might need some CO TLC. As previously noted, it doesn’t appear to be there. Great spot! Thanks for placing it

Out on my own today after After doing a lead catch decided to take a walk up to this one and see the check out to look out great views well worth a trip but notification totally moved the log and there’s nothing there Ringa previous finder to confirm location was correct, it’s gone

Spot on GPS. Tftc

When we pulled up, we were sure that we had found this one before. Not quite, we had been here before but this is a new cache. Thanks for keeping a cache here.

As soon as we pulled up here we both felt it was a very familiar place. I think there must have been a cache here once before. Nice to return to this lovely spot.
Thanks for bringing us here today by placing this cache, kozicka

Found at 5:58 pm.
While out this way completing the nearby series we noticed this reasonably new cache and stopped by. I sent the kids in with the phone to try and find it and after they did there terrible look, I then decided to help them to make the find.
Thanks kozicka for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

A nice spot. Sent the geokidsoff for this while I sat and back a relaxed. Spiffy- provided Parental Guidance and the find was made.

Thanks to kozicka for the placement, fun and adventure.

Nice view and hide

Fantastic view, wish to could have climbed higher !

I found this on my way to late night shopping to attempt to get my presents finished before Christmas. Unfortunately the shopping was less successful than this cache!

I've often driven past this spot on my work routes and have always thought it'd be a great place for a cache. And that was without stopping here! When all the new caches were published recently I was happy to see one pop up here. It was even nicer than I imagined when I did stop and saw this nice grassy area. It looked lovely at dusk and I'll have to come back with a picnic sometime in the daylight!

Thanks for the cache!

Had a drop off to do in Upwey and decided to pick this up on the way through. What a magnificent structure overlooking the area for such a long distance, but with OH&S like it is unable to be used, even if updated. The coordinates were spot on and the cache quickly located and log signed. All is well with the cache.

Found it TFTC

Thanks! Nice view

I live so very close to this cache. It was meant to be my back-pocket cache but I couldn't resist finding it today. I'd looked for it briefly on the day it was published but I don't think it had been placed yet . . . Today I woke up early and decided to walk up the hills behind our house. I was so confident that I knew where it was that I didn't even bring my phone! Lucky I was spot on. It was such a lovely walk in the rain. I came home to find Zeus and the kids were all still asleep. A great way to start my day.

It's nice to see some new caches close to home. On my way home from Birdsland I stopped to look for this cache and came across a structure I never knew was here. This is why I enjoy caching. Quite the view even though the trees are much taller than they would have been back in the day. A quick find at GZ. TFTC kozicka

Found @6:52 AM #7953
What a great view from GZ this morning. Havn't been back here for years and probably the last time for a cache too (now gone). Nice work done here. Thanks for bringing me back.

Day 490 of ...

When I arrived and started walking to GZ I was joined by a very friendly magpie that walked with me and took an interest in what i was doing .. especially when I removed the cache from its hide and replaced it .. lol it then walked with me back to the car.. thanks kozika for placing the cache here .. such a fabulous view.

Found this towards the end of a late afternoon run through Upwey and Upper Gully. Beautiful day, the sky nice and blue. I always enjoy the view from up here, wish we were allowed up the tower though...

First cache found with my new Pixel 6 Pro, and it directed me straight to the cache for an extremely quick find. I then enjoyed the view for a little while before heading home.
I prefer this placement to the previous one, highlights the view much better.
Thanks for the cache.

I found this cache today on route to Berwick. When we came passed on Friday, the cache was not there in that spot. The one spot that I alluded to in my DNF log was the one that we all had concentrated on, it was now very easily found at that same spot. Usually if this happens, the CO would post a note on the cache page to advise that the cache was missing but has now been replaced.

A lovely peaceful spot with really interesting historical significance. Thanks for all the information. Beautiful view here, perfect spot to sit and contemplate! Tftc!

Still there. Beautiful view.

Lovely view

Thank you

I tried to find a cache here about 7 years ago with no luck, it had been muggled but I didn't know and I searched for it for many hours over many visits. I was new to geocaching and assumed I was doing something wrong! After that cache was archived many years ago, I always thought this would be a good spot for a new one, such an important location! A nice quick find, I hope this one stays safe here for many years to come. Tftc

TFTC! A really lovely view from up here!
Managed to find this one relative quickly after a day in the Dandenongs.

Found it! I remember hunting for the original micro here a few years ago. It used very cool camouflage! Great views here. I must admit I looked yesterday but didn’t find it. This morning I had more time and soon had the cache in hand. 3rd to find !! TFTC SL

Three teams here and unable to find this. Found a likely hiding spot but nothing inside. Will keep a watch on it.

Arrived at this one this morning to find The Rustys and Zeus, Hera and Kids already on the hunt. There was only really one spot that fitted the clues but this may have been shifted in the last couple of days with what looks like a lot of mowing and cleaning up done in the area. After that, not much in the way of what fitted for at least 15m.

{FTF} once upon a time there was a micro close to GZ. There is a nice view from the top here looking at the other side of Mt Dandenong. It would be great to see a lookout or two reinstated out this way...much untapped tourism potential tftc

Beautiful night for a cache!!
