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.

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.

----------

Hi there Partic,

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 I am having to take the next step and temporarily disable the cache - 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 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 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 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, 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.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Bunjil

Out with my mate the storm bringer today, unfortunately we searched for about 15 mins and found no trace of a cache. Given past dnfs mabye muggled or lost?

It looks like it’s gone to me. BTW the blackberries are nasty.

Checked the log from the easily accessed area, not sure if the cache was over taken by the thorns or not, but I definitely was not in the right clothes to check.

There was also some abandoned wiring so it may have been muggled not sure, but no luck for me today

I think this one is missing.

I don’t think this Cache is here, I look at every part of this old fallen log and came up with nothing.

Got it!

Got it!

Found the log but not the cache. Checked three different parts of the log but no dice. I was on a work break so didn't want to come back to the office covered in leaves and dirt, maybe I need to come back on a day off!

TFTC! picked it up on a walk with a muggle friend. Forgot a pen.

We found the log that led to the log!

Surrounded by roads.

Found it

Yay. This one has been on my radar for awhile I just didn’t know how to get to it. TFTC

found it with FindAbility and DolphinFish101

Very good spot, thanks. Found with FindAbility and Mr_Unknown9076

Found it after a little searching!

Great location. Kids loved searching for it.

This is our first cache! Kids were very excited!

Thanks

Easy find little hard to open great experience

Had a brief time in the area to grab a few caches between appointments.
This was a quick find, then a minute or so to work out how to open, then a tool to remove the log.

Can’t get the lid open

Took the long way around for this one and ClanMagee got to it before I could. Admittedly, he's found it before. Couldn't get the container open easily though and thought it might have been a field puzzle for a while, but ClanMagee managed to get it open. TFTC!

Just popped by with diana8 to say hi. It's been many years since I logged a find for this one. Always good to see the old caches still going strong. Keep up the good work.

I looked at this cache and, not knowing the area at all, wondered how I would get to it. On my way back to the nearest station after caching all day , I noticed that I was close to this chap. I did not even need to detour at all. At GZ the cache was found easily.

Was a little concerned when the first thing I came across was a kitchen knife, but after some more sleuthing I found the CACHE. Nice little spot, not too many muggles around at this time. TNLN, TFTC!

Thanks so much - out on our exercise during lockdown and this tricky little find had us stumped for a moment. We were hoping to grab the trackable but it was already gone.

Found it TFTC

Yay got it logged without fence sitting

After a gathering at Shwerkolt Cottage we embarked on a big loop around the Eastlink trail. This was found along the way nicely tucked away and in good condition. Lots of swag TFTC.
Congratulations to the 25 COs who put this trail together 12 years ago. That must have been quite an effort. I will definitely look for more soon. It is a shame to see many of them are archived now.
I do remember when it was peaceful next to the creek here. Quite different now but still a great walk.

We got within 15 metres but were not sure if we were permitted to go through the fence

Nice walk to earn this one

No where to be seen

Too hard to get too

Found

Can’t work it out

Found it! Thanks

Found it ! Very cleverly, my partners first find - Ella and Jake 30/08/20

Found with Geoff T, tftc

Lots of treasures for the kids!! Found with Jadeski. TFTC

Isla and Eloise

Navigation by Elroy case is now black

Lots of treasures in this one!

Lovely day for a walk with the dog. Teens enjoyed finding this together. Took a while to work out how to open it. Thank you for the hide.

This was fun. Do not stop on Freeway. Tessa got a spider on her, that was fun.

Could not figure out how to open but got there in the end and a great hiding place.

Great hiding place. Took around 20-30 to find it then another 15 to actually figure out how to open the container as found it tricky

Found it quickly thank you!

Found 27/5/20, but might have logged it somewhere else??? Not sure. Also dropped travel bug.

After unnecessarily investigating what felt like a giant ball of prickles I gave up, then found it TFTC

Simple

Great cache!! Great clue
Watch out for muggles

Quick and easy find, TFTC

It was our first solo find

Found it. Good clue.

Got some good swaps! And is this a tang bottle?

I had been meaning to look for this old cache for a very long time having passed it tons of times in the car. Today I needed to get some approved exercise to relieve the boredom of being at home all day. I parked next to Sherbrook Park and then had a lovely stroll along the trail. As it had been raining on and off today there was only the occasional muggle along the trail. I made a short diversion to GZ and thanks to the spot-on co-ords I found the cache after a brief search and signed the log at 5:40 pm. I took a soldier, which I disinfected before putting in my swaps bag, and left a soccer ball keyring. I used hand sanitiser after finding the cache to stay safe. As I was staring at the interlocking roads it started raining again so I headed back down the trail to my car.

Thanks Partic for the well-hidden cache and for showing me this incredible intersection of roads, which must have taken some very clever engineering and construction. Also, thanks for maintaining this cache for these years.

Thanks

Thanks
Been meaning to get this one for a while.
The container has seen better days but somehow it's all dry.

Lots of muggles

s&s

Pleased that this was a quick find. Thank you for placing it for us to find.

Had to go to Ringwood so this was a nice quick and easy cache for GT to keep her streak going. Thanks for the cache.

Nice spot, not to visible. Lid on the cache is all cracked and could do with a repair/replace.

I have a big backlog of drafts I am now trying to get through. I've been good with some of the more recent ones, but some are now a couple of months old so it's well past time to clear them. Apologies therefore to the COs for the generic logs - some might get extra words if they come to mind. Either way, my generic logs should not be taken as any indication that I am not very much appreciative of all the effort the COs have put into making these caches for us all to enjoy. TFTC

Plenty of muggles driving by on the freeway but no ways they can see you, TFTC

A great excuse to walk the Eastlink trail!

Easy find

Found nice hide

After a pleasant walk, we found the log by the log. Evicted a slug from the cache. Took a toy soldier; left a Coles mini. TFTC!

The walk on this spring-like morning was pleasant along a section of the cycle/walking track I wasn't familiar with. The co-ords were spot on, but I had a shock when I picked up the container. An uncapped syringe was lying on the ground underneath where the cache had been! I buried the needle as best I could avoiding the tip. Tftc

Lovely walk, did not take anything but lovely knitted toy inside

Bit of a concrete jungle round here alright, but guess that’s the price we pay for getting where we need to be faster! Thanks for bringing me here and showing the underbelly of the progress.

Was search for a decent sized cache to drop a TB (so many micros around!) so headed here on a rainy morning. Made the find a bit out of place though ... please be careful as there are some used syringes around TFTC

Field clan found it

Found this one but got prickled by the black berries towards the start of searching. Tftc

We are a geocaching Oxfam team so we have to make sure we find at lest one geocache. This is the one. I know The Welder has already found this as he help make sure this was a quick find. But I think it would have been a quick find anyway. I am very happy with how our team went. We finished the walk in a time of 20hr 52mins.
Thanks for placing

There's a crazy amount of roadage here. It's an interesting place but not as pleasant as the walk through the park to get here. Thanks.

Beautiful day for a stroll and a quick find. Ants everywhere - don't stand still for too long! TFTC

Nice, easy find. All in good condition. TFTC

A nice quick find. The container looked heat affected - the lid didn’t seal properly - but the log and swaps were ok. Thanks partic

Lovely afternoon for a short walk before heading to the shops. TFTC

Nice find out on a bike ride... I crawled through more bushes than required though. Tip, there is more than one way in! Also added a few swaps. TFTC

This was a nice afternoon walk after work to find this one

My first reaction in being in this location was one of sadness - a beautiful little area that has been encroached on by civilisation. But after a little while here I think the roads have been as sympathetic as possible with this area, maintaining its dignity as much as possible. I actually grew to enjoy it here (it was very early though, not much traffic!). A fascinating location! TFTC!

Great hint!!!
