Unfortunately, steps have not been taken to address the issue/s associated with this placement, as per the maintenance expectations in the Guidelines.

As explained in previous logs, the 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 with Georubbish.

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

----------

Hi there fozzy778,

It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is an issue. The cache has been temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed.

**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 and repair and/or 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 those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when a Reviewer next looks at the cache page, it is likely that they will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) 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.

**JUST A TIP:-** Have you checked out the new Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own? Have a read about it [**HERE.**](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/07/welcome-to-the-cache-owner-dashboard/?newsletter=PM) You will find your very own dash board [**HERE**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner?utm_source=geocaching&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=COD).

Thanks for your cooperation,

A beautiful quiet and still morning here is Castlemaine. Visiting for work so decided not collect a few smiley faces. This is my first time here so caching is helping me explore the town. Like the others before me have stated, this cache is in need of some love. The log book is unable to be signed . Thank you.

Quick find although could not sign log as it was saturated. Love a bush cemetery, thanks for the cache!

New log required as this one is saturated

Thanks for the hide and cache. As mentioned by others. Log is still completely saturated and I don’t have a replacement with me.

Needs a new container and a writing pad

Nice easy find, log is completely wet so I improvise and wrote on a leaf ha ha

Need new container, contents is sodden.

Paper still wet. Thank you. Introduced a friend to geocaching. Good one

Didn’t sign the log because it was too wet to remove from the container, but a very nice hide — took us an embarrassingly long time. Great way to explore a cemetery though!

Missed it first time but found after going back over the spot. Log extremely wet, needing new container as lid was loose. Great find

The log is very wet and full, but managed to sign, tftc

Easy found

Sneaky spot

Found and logged on this beautiful day in this somber place. TFTC

Log very wet

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

Yep

Yep

Tftc old historic cemetery

Thanks

Our 1st micro find! Thank you

Very micro found it great hunt tftc

Love a cemetery cache! Coming back for the ghost tour tonight.

Found with Cardiackelli on my Birthday.

Hi I'm 9 years old I found it with my brother and mum

That was a really quick and easy find for us, with a lovely stroll through the cemetery and the bush. Thanks!

TFTC

Nice easy find. TFTC

Found with Crafty Dusty and the geopooch Pippa on our road trip from Sydney to Victoria. TFTC

I sincerely thank all CO's and wish you all the best in your endeavours. Cheers Karen

TeamOZCAT left Albury Wodonga Thursday to cache Bendigo district, and some on route. The Smiley series was one, as well as some Adventure Lab and others. We thank all CO's for placing and maintaining their respective caches, and if there were issues, we would have messaged CO with details.

Peaceful spot overlooking people’s loved ones

On my way home from a New Year celebration weekend I decided it was about time I started caching again. I am glad that I did because this one took me to a super interesting cemetary.
Thanks.

Jem Shauna and sassy

Sneaky little one!

Good hiding spot!

TFTC. A beautiful winter sunny day. A great reason to go out for a short drive too find a couple of caches. We ventured out in the sun, nice to be out an about after three months of being restricted in where we could travel. Thanks for adding to our excursion.
We were heading home after having been to Vaughan cemetery. We were driving past so detoured to this cemetery to find the two caches in the vicinity.

Thankyou for the cache the Ewoks

Took our four kids out, Mister 8 very proud to find it! Thanks very much

Soldier on

Lovely place to visit. Bring back memories

Beautiful restful place. Caught up with some of our family whilst we were here.

Peaceful place

Thanks, neat spot.

Thank you for taking us to this beautiful spot

15/01/2020 What a beautiful cemetery, so much history. TFTC allowing me to explore!

All good

Warm afternoon out caching, whilst on holidays in Victoria. Enjoyed the walk through this historic cemetery.
Tftc

Good hiding spot and we sure liked the colour of the cache container. We found this a very interesting cemetery to visit as we had not been here before.
TFTC fozzy778

Tftc nice drive from dunolly thanks for the history

Thanks for the hide. Enjoyed walking around.

Thank you for placing this cache.

I used to live very close to this cemetery in the 90s and would walk in its bushland often, so it was fantastic to revisit here. Thanks so much for giving me a reason to revisit.

Took a drive out to Castlemaine this morning to complete the Parkrun event and then have a little explore around the area and collect a few cache. Weather was a bit up and down, but I managed to collect a few. So many great little places to explore, will have to get back across later in the year for some more. Thanks for the little adventure.

Tftc interesting cemetery

.....

Newstead Day 2
Todays trip was around the Castlemaine area. We came accross some amazing caches & locations, a really enjoyable day.
Our trip was country roads & forest trails.
Thanks for placing this cache fozzy778

Found it but it’s leaked and a little water damaged.

Nice easy one for the kids

Daughter found this one super quickly.

A nice quick find on a cold morning out. Our compass jumped around a heap but after resetting it, we navigated right back to GZ. Easy find. Thanks for the cache.

Paper was soaked so we replaced it tftc

Tftc

On a well earned break in Castlemaine and I’m spending the time just touring the whole area, enjoying the sites and picking up caches as I go.
Now this is one big cemetery I viewed the area from up on the hill then walked down into it.
The Chinese section was interesting with the refurbished offering oven.
Thanks fozzy778 TFTC.

Found it

Found by the Bendigo gang

A nice quick find with Kenare on a caching day in the area thanks for the hide

I have never been here but I was still surprised at the size of the place. We drove around to see the size before parking to begin our search. Tftc

Found it. Took awhile!

With the weather cold, wet and blustery we decided to head further north to cache hoping to avoid the rain. After picking up DAB from his cozy abode, armed with rain jackets and hats we ventured to Daylesford and beyond in search of Tupperware containers in the bush.
We admired the unusual cemetery as we drove through, marvelling at the size of it. Then DAB and myself started singing a Charlie Pride song as the cache title put us in mind of it.
Thanks fozzy778 for the placement.

While enjoying my lovely warm house, I received a message from The_Tritonz. "What are ya up to ?? Do you want to grab some caches ?? Hmmm... I'll have a look out the window, grey clouds and strong winds. I'll just check the weather online, freezing cold, with a high chance of rain.With all of those things considered.... I said YES !! [B)] [B)] So a quick bag pack and we were soon off. We did have brief periods of sunshine, but the majority of the day was cold, windy and wet.
It didn't dampen our spirits though, we still found a good mix of hides. All in all, another enjoyable day exploring our great countryside.
A short walk here and we were soon adding names to the log. TFTC fozzy778

Out with sorceysal and 08151605 this cold winter's morning and stopped to collect a smiling face on this one. M. came up with the goods today as we were walking a little slower.
TFTC fozzy778

Out and about with 6hinemoa2 and 08151605. Temperature is showing 0 and there is thick frost in the nearby fields. Why are we doing this LOL

A nice quick find had us back in the warm car. Thanks fozzy778

Cool. Cold morning. Found with Sorceysal & 6Hinemia2 TFTC Cheers

Beautiful spot!

After a day of rogaining in the Campbell’s Creek diggings area, the cache is a nice way to be reminded of what else went before and say goodbye. Astonishing size and interesting. TFTC

Huzzah! Found it! TFTC. Log is slightly damp, bit that's not surprising given the cold, frosty morning. This is a lovely cemetery. The old section is so different than the neat, regimented new section. Thanks for bringing me here this morning.

??

Today I headed out for a daytrip to the Castlemaine area with Jacko, making the most of the cooler weather to enjoy some bushy terrain. One of the day's main missions was a visit to the little-documented Dyers Falls which were an amazing geological feature.

This cemetery was definitely a lot bigger than expected. The cache, though, was exactly of the expected size .
Thanks fozzy778.

Heading North today with Pacman and Bentley just smashing out what we can as we love this part of the world.

Nice little walk through here in winding up the day, thanks for placing!

Easy find. Thank you
