Hi there piggysue,
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 (more's the pity), so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, you have been in hospital, the area is in flood, or some other reason that has prevented attending to the cache, they can't tell what is going on.
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 **post a Write Note log 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

DNF. Didn’t look around too long. Please be careful of syringes reason why we didn’t look.
A DNF from me today. The area is looking quite unloved and this cache may need to be checked on.
Found! Needs a new plastic bag for the Log as it’s ripped and log was damp. TFTC
Used to spend a bit of time transiting through here between Foster and Melbs. It’s a mess now. Rubbish, graffiti and broken bottles. Oh well, at least we found the cache.
Sandyofthesea and I took off from Perth at the start of April to travel more of Australia using geocaching as a guide to see the sights. How good is this country!!
piggysue, I found SGR3 today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Coordinates were playing up on me and I had to do a bit of searching here.
And some Muggle kids on school holidays soon mucking about at the station had me being extra cautious.
Soon had an opportunity when they disappeared and made the quick grab.
The cache, container and log are in excellent condition.
I visited 5 TB.

TFTC unfortunately this place is a bit dirty be careful lots of broken glass
Another find with my friend Sue. Unfortunately the site has been neglected by the local authorities and there is a lot of litter around.
Nice to put a smilie on this one. Local ferals hanging around made it jarder than it needed to be. Tftc
Came back and found it! 15 meters off! Good hint but coords are terrible! Very well hidden TFTC
Out for a drive with my partner on way to Loch, Korumburra, Leogatha and Inverloch for the day. Beautiful scenery everywhere and towns. Stopped here for a little break. Easy to find. Thanks piggysue for placing it.
Seriously no spots and “geocaching rocks!” Sounds like and hint in a hint to me. Coords led me too a dirty drain but nothing there?
Suscoe was heading to Phillip Island today via the long way around.
This part of our country is lovely with hills, valleys and little townships dotted throughout the countryside.
It was a very warm day up until mid afternoon when the change came through and our sunny day disappeared into clouds and rain.
It was a wonderful sight and we hope that the rain makes it through to East Gippland and makes a difference.
Thanks to piggysue for this hide.
Waited for the bus to depart, it collected a big crowd from the stop today.
A quick find in the quiet after the bus departed.
It was our fruit stop time.

Found, but log was just in a plastic bag and completely soaked and turning to mush. Plastic bag full of holes, so we put a new rite-in-the-rain log sheet into an actual container and put back in the spot we found the baggie cache. Should last a bit longer now. Uploading pic of soggy log as proof we found it. SL Thanks!
Very easy find with hint. Log was wet and bag had a big hole in it. Have replaced bag.

Nice walk through memory lane of when the trains once rolled through town. Thank you.
Find 2049
While getting our bikes unloadied and geowife on the phone I ventured over to get this one. The cache site was was quite thick of plants but it was found in the first place. No container exists but log sheet in bag is intact.
Log signed and all back safe again.
Thanks piggysue

Camped at Dumbalk after returning from Tasmania. Looking for a few caches in the area today. Quick find, eleventh for the day. TFTC
Been saving this one that's close to home for a special occasion. Took done friends who have never been caching out for their first. Look for. If things from Great White Banks.
Accompanied with pwala outing for caching today.
The weather was very warm.
Enjoyed ourselves
Found it
Thanks piggysue for the cache

Shame to see old caches fall by the wayside. CO doesn't seem to be active. I have placed a new logsheet in a clip bag at the other end of the garden under some cover almost matching the original hint. Original location is very exposed. If the next finder can bring a container to pace log in please.
No sign of cache where hint said. Sad this piece of history is being allowed to deteriorate
Limited time, due to small children with us, however we had a good look. Used the hint. The hint made good sense but we were still not able to find it, despite looking thoroughly. The cache location is several feet behind a usually very bus stop. Thankfully no muggles to worry about today. Litter everywhere. Will try again next time. Thanks for the cache.
We didnt have a lot of time because of little kids waiting. We did use the hint and it really helped with where to look. However we still didn't find it. The area is really badly kept and covered in rubbish. Thanks anyway!
Continuing on our adventure after attending the Alexandra Mega Event, we found ourselves setting up camp not too far away from Korumburra. Today, we decided to head of toward Leongatha to explore the area a little further and find a few caches along the way.
We had no difficulty in locating this cache and with our name added to the log book, we continued on our way [^]
Thank you piggysue for having placed the cache and maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

Found on a Sunday morning. This one took a while as I was fighting against the inclement weather. Soon I found the necessary location and found the cache! thanks for bringing me here! I'll do more Leongatha caches when I return!
I have spent 9 lovely days exploring Gippsland with muggle hubby and the geokids but alas we must work tomorrow so we are homeward bound. A few quick caches on the way though to raise my tally a bit! The roads have changed here - no need to drive through the Main Street anymore! A quick find with the hint and previous logs as coords are out. Many thanks for the cache.
Today we explored Leongatha and surrounds using Geocaching as a guide and picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them. An easy find.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Found by Aussie Train Driver 10/07/2017, find number 1079.
Driving down to Wilsons Prom with the family, we stopped in Leongatha for some groceries which provided a great opportunity to find a cache or two. After a short walk to the station I had a somewhat unsuccessful hunt before expanding my search and coming up with the goods.
I was lucky enough to drive a train from Korrumburra to Leongatha for my 18th birthday before the tourist railway closed. Such a shame that the trains don't run anymore.
TFTC!

It's kind of weird here it feels like there will be a train pulling in to this station at any minute... makes me feel like I'm in some sort of zombie apocalypse lol I mean the fact it's Sunday probably makes it seem even quieter but still a little creepy... Anyway on to the geocache! Easy enough to find and the place it's hidden seems fine but it was a good 10 to 12 metres away from where the Coordinates say it should be, maybe co can think about changing the coordinates to match the hiding spot? But still TFTC!
Found it! Lucky I had my camera and went and snapped pics of the old station while the muggles waited for the bus
Nice hide, but beware location is approximately 10m out, have only had this problem with caches in and around leongatha.
Thankyou for the hint. Needed to be quick to avoid muggle activity. Tftc. Nice spot with history.
Found easily on a random stop to see the mile post on the platform. I thought there'd probably be a cache here and sure enough there was! Thanks for the find, I wish the train still came out here.
Loved finding this one as just a bit different to others of this style, but a fairly quick find by Petal on our way throought town today.
Thanks piggysue for this placement.

Like others, we also had to wait for the bus to leave with all the muggles on. Once the coast was clear it was a nice quick find. TFTC.
Will what an adventure we get there and there are muggled waiting to catch the bus so off we go and look for another get tea and go back and there are more people waiting for the next bus finally it comes and we make a quick find what a waste of a good station tftc found with apple460
What a waste it's a lovely old station it was Muggle central once they left it was an easy find tftc found with grannygeo64
