I cannot see any information that suggests to me that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement, therefore I have no option but to archive the listing.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include **GC Number and Cache Name**) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash.

Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Took a little while but got there in the end. Description and hint needs updating as they are a bit misleading!!

Woop Woop I finally found a Coruze cache today after 2DNFs.
Before this one I was starting to think I WAS going nuts!
Thanks for the cache.

Quite a quick find for a cache which has been on my list for a long time. Certainly not magnetic at this time, and not above many heads, other than my geograndkids! Tftc, at last.
 
10-Oct-15
Well below my head height!
 
02-Oct-15
A quick find as we wandered around checking out the sights. Heading back here tonight for a tour. It appears that most of the facility is now for sale, but not sure I'd want to buy it! Thanks for the cache Coruze.

I thought this cache would not have to many muggles hanging around it.... but I was wrong, I waited as the couple in the 70s walked passed, and grabbed the cache. I then had to wait for the group of bike riders to get past to be able to put it back. Then my timing was slightly wrong and a young couple gave me a strange look as I appeared from the hiding spot. I hope they don't go looking for what I was doing!!

Zita loved the old fire panel map and wanted to take it home! We loved coming up here this morning - TFTC!

We were in Beechworth for a ghost tour & grabbed this one on our stroll into town for dinner. Quick find. SL Tftc.
 
11-Apr-15
Good one
 
14-Mar-15
This was a quick find this morning, after previous visit had muggle action at the location. Don't think this cache is in its correct location, as per the hint. But the cache is safe and dry just needs a new log.
 
12-Mar-15
Late log, found and signed.
 
12-Mar-15
Log paper a bit messy. Looking forward to the ride downhill back to camp for Beesting and coffee. Very steep coming up

Found 8/3/15 no phone battery though. The asylum gives me the bad feels but this was a nice simple find.

Looks like this one has been through the wars! Definitely not in the place described - or the size of container (500ml - I don't think so!) Obviously has been exposed to the wet - the paper is still damp and waterlogged, but the new?? position seems to be safe from water. Perhaps the owner could check it sometime to restore it, or provide new paper (and perhaps a plastic bag?

Found the cache open but luckly the log book didnt blow to fun just a bit damp

Was found in a puddle under a sing log saturated and started to fall a part. Thought a geo in a puddle was deferentially not in geo spot. So I put the geo out of sight underneath the sing where I thought it's place would safe.(up above where it was found.) Needs a new zip lock bage. The log was falling apart so I could not get it into the container with out running the log. Log is drying under container. Hope this geo get fixed soon great place up there.

Was found in seconds

#953 This was one of a bunch of caches we found after a local event. Mr BGF recalls coming here for a work conference a few years back and doing a spooky unofficial tour with a security guard in the early hours of the morning. Today in daylight we were pleased to find the cache quickly. Enjoyed reading the cache page write up, thanks Coruze.
 
03-Aug-14
Thanks Smile our first geocache. Forgot a pen.
 
02-Aug-14
Found quite quickly. Log nearly full. No swaps. Signed log. Left nothing

Our first for the day exploring Beechworth after having failed at Queen Victoria Rocks and the Chinese Garden so it was a relief to find an easier one. Muggle Hubby was the hero this time.
What an impressive collection of buildings here with ever so much history, thanks for bringing us here

[:(!] Spending the weekend with my son and his family, having some spare time on my hands I went for a couple of hours of caching, parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was located and it was in hand in a matter of minutes, what a missable day for caching, no rain coat, soaked to the sink, no gumboots, footwear saturated, feet frozen, fingers numb, had trouble trying to keep the log from getting, was glad to get back to the car for a bit of warmth from the geocar's heater but I soldiered on to the next cache.

No longer magnet but did the best we could hiding it upwards. TFT(beechworth)C
 
07-Jan-14
Easy find as it wasn't really hidden! Is that where it is meant to be or has it been moved somehow? May need to check!
 
06-Jan-14
Easy find. Had been previously moved from head height due to spiderwebs.

We had an interesting walk all around the grounds and remembered some of the fairly horrifying stories heard here a couple years ago when we went on the ghost tour. Took longer to find than it really should have....tftc.
