If there are components or remnants of the cache, please recover them as we don't want to litter our environment.

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

----------

Hi there fozzee63,

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,

Helaas vergaan

Tftc. Container is damaged and log book is wet

Container damaged

Tftc

Cache found but maintenance required. Message sent to CO. Container lid smashed and contents saturated making the log impossible to sign, so photo sent to CO as proof of find. Thank you for the cache still

On our way back to Echuca. Stopped and found this one but couldn’t log it as it’s all broken. Maintenance required

#12934 - 10:23:00 AM; Day 3 of the Wang Mega tour with Sol de lune. We didn't quite get to Echuca last night, but we did enjoy comfortable accommodation and a great meal at the Falcon Hotel on the highway right next door to the Downunder Dunny. After collecting that cache, we set off for Echuca and a spot of caching in and around the town, avenging a couple of GCA DNFs from our previous visit. Time to hit the highway again as we headed west for our next overnight destination, Mildura. Collected more caches along the way including this one. No problems getting our names into the log, before continuing on our mission. TFTC fozzee63

After a couple of great days in and around Wang at the Mega, followed by a drive to Echuca, LuckyL10n and I were now on the road from Echuca to Mildura. The plan today was to stop for a few selected caches...those that looked good, those with a few favourtie points..as well all the regular and large caches we could find.

Left Echuca around 9.30am, arriving in Mildura around 6.00pm. All caches we attempted were found, apart from the one that was completely burnt out, so all up a good road trip. Now home
and it's time to log.

Thanks to all owners the along the way, and apologies for the generic log.

found this one nice and fast but in very rough shape needs some work
TFTC

LittleBoss2 and I had just enjoyed a couple of wet days around Cohuna, and were keen to continue our caching run on the way home today. This was one of many caches we completed that made a 90 Min trip into a 5hr trip. But that's caching for you. Our sincere thanks to all the CO's for the laughs while looking we enjoyed today.

This container was completely broken and will need replacing

On our way home from a couple of days geocaching around Cohuna. Thanks for placing the geocache

Cache container is broken open & everything inside is mush after the rain. I couldn’t sign log, so am sending a photo to CO

We had fun talking to the friendly mind the sparky fence TFTC

Happy

Found on our way to Sealake checking out the silo art trail
Container has no lid. Contents all wet. We put a piece of wood on top to protect it a bit

Found this one, but it needs maintenance, there is no lid and everything was scattered everywhere

Log still dry!

Found it TFTC

Found, after trekking through wild bush lands (;
Container needs fixing

??

Easy find. Container lid is completely broken. Tftc.

Hole?! The whole lid is practically gone so it was full to the brim with water! Replaced the container upside down so at least it has protection from the rain

Too easy - container is broken

Tftc

I found this today while heading for Mildura. Weather is hot and I am tired, so this is a good little break from driving. Tftc.

Went for a drive to Gunbower today and this is a cache I found on the way. a quick find away from the busy highway. TFTC,

Found with Loci612 and Zqx on the way home from the mega in Victoria. Thanks for the cache and the adventure. Signed the cache either DSD or Darksidedan depending on the size of the cache.

**This Cache:**

A quick stop here for a park and grab, just to stretch the legs once again. The cache has a hole in it and needs attention. Thanks for placing

**Today:**

Day 4 of the St. Arnaud mega with DSD and ZQX!

It was time to head all the way home today, via a completely different route, in parts of Australia that none of us have ever visited before! All in the name of grabbing some counties! We went through Northern Victoria up to Echuca, and then over the NSW border to Moama, through Deniliquin, Finley, Jerilderie, Narranderra and finally Coolamon and Wagga Wagga before heading home to Canberra! A very productive day collecting counties, with a few high D/T caches mixed in, and even a bonus virtual!

It was a long day with many km's and about 15 hours total on the road, it was good to get home and crash for the night!

Thanks to all the CO's for making it possible

Found with DarkSideDan (the path tag man) and Loci612.
Twelve or so kites (of the ornithological kind) were handing around nearby. I sure hope they don't like the taste of geocachers!
This road trip is a fun adventure. TFTC!

Thanks for the history of this site it was a really interesting read. The cache container is cracked and it was full of water we dried it out and double bagged the soggy log book. Still able to sign it.

Cheers and thanks for a really interesting cache

Found on the way home from bungower.
Found by geokids. TFTC

Found on way to a job very wet needs a new container

Very easy to find

Tftc! A great historical note about the area

Prickly find

Great hide, thanks

Found it TFTC

We are on our way home from the Wangaratta Jazz and Blues Festival, travelling via the Silo Art Tour in the North-West. Flies were appalling -- guess who forgot the Aeroguard! Left a geonickel. SL, TFTC!

Found on 23/10/18 not necessarily a Kodak moment but nice just the same spike spike

today i drove from barham to barmah and did some caching on the way. quick find on the way. TFTC!
out: TB

A quick and easy find while out and about in the area.

Easy find

#14685. Day 1 of a short break for Robmc and me so we are spending a few nights at Lake Boga Caravan Park. Most of the day was spent travelling and collecting 13 caches along the way.

Rob had already done this one years ago but we stopped so I could try to find it. Container in good condition and my name added to the log. Now time to get all the prickly bits out of the two geodogs and continue on our way.

Thanks fozzee63

Happy Fathers day!
Spending a family day out & about cache finding. Quick easy find. Not waiting for the sunset..
TFTC ‍‍‍

Found during a fun road trip with my Clarmensma family - becca85, GemmaSistema, neisha07, Ad & Luke. We had a great trip and visited some cool places and caches. TFTC!

Yay for school holidays and Clarmensma road trips!
Found with becca85, GemmaSistema, boo09, Ad & Luke. TFTC

Stamped or signed as 'Team Clarmensma' AKA myself, GemmaSistema, neisha07, boo09, AdamSistema & LukeSistema.
School holidays yet again and we thought we'd stay the night in Echuca. It took us about 6 hours to get there from Maryborough and about 13 to get home.

A fun trip with only minimal rain, a handful of DNF's, some previous DNF's that are now smilies and 7 cache types found over the 2 days.

TFTC

Ooh spikes everywhere. Found during first pass which was lucky.

Today was day 1 of a 2 day road trip with Team Clarmensma (GemmaSistema & becca85 and our 4 geokids - neisha07, AdamSistema, boo09 & LukeSistema). The Sistema crew left Ballarat picking up the 3 girls in Maryborough and we cached our way via Jarklin, Pyramid Hill, Leitchville, Gunbower, Torrumbarry and Moama before finally arriving and staying the night in Echuca. We had plenty of finds, a few DNFs and heaps of laughter and fun as we cached along back roads, through tiny towns, around amazing lagoons and across rivers with stunning scenery wherever we went. Thanks so much for putting this cache out for us to find and enjoy. We really appreciate it.

I'm not logging a DNF because I didn't really look, but one thing seemed obvious when looking at the vegetation, this is NOT a one star difficulty. I liked the old definition of one star difficulty, which went something like this, "In full view or obvious." Nope, when looking at all the vegetation at GZ (photograph taken), it wasn't in full view or obvious. I didn't have the time to spend, so moved on.

Found by Josh after a lengthy search by Craig, Michelle and Marli while Nat and Josh stayed in the car. Nice hide. TFTC.

Not a real fan of digging in bushes, had a quick look, nothing surfaced..

tried to find it, but after a while we weren't really keen anymore to search through the massive bush area surrounded by flies and thistels.

but nice area for a sunset if you're running out of time to go to mt hope.

Quick find.TFTC

Stopped and grabbed this one on a trip to Echuca. All in good shape. Shared Geocaching with some friends who will be hooked. TFTC

Got it.

Suscoe had a big day out to the north west of Echuca today.
Clear skies, beaut weather, a warm sun and caching, what could be better!!!
We enjoyed wandering the roads and little towns as we went.
Thanks to fozzee63 for this hide.
The cattle yards are no more, just a pile of timber and iron.

Found with tassieexpat while staying in Echuca for a few days. Thanks for placing this cache.

Frmen1 and I are enjoying a leisurely drive in the area. Mmm, should have read the description better...thankfully 4WD coped and we didn't get bogged. A quick find. TFTC

After a search for s few minutes finally had our hands on the cache but not sure where ramp is think it's just pile In The paddock nearby. TFTC

Tftc. . Slightly a muddy trek to it but cache in good order

Wow an old one that was a bonus. Grabbing the odd cache on the way home from Swan Hill to Alexandra this one came up and as it was sunset it was a good sign we should stop. It wasn't till I got out of the car that I saw the GC code and got excited. I like finding caches from back when I was caching before my slump.

TFTC that is a pretty sunset

How many months to the Alexandra Mega[?]
No idea, so I figured that i had better attend the event in Swan Hill to find out
Really though Cybergran V would have thottled me [xx(] if I hadn't have brought her up for this event so I had no choice but to attend

A pretty quiet weekend numbers wise however one that was filled with the usual laughter, craziness and fellowship of a caching event
I was extremely glad to be caching in numbers this weekend though [^], having spent many hours looking for caches in this area before!
Sadly, too often I heard the lament that 'this isn't fun! ' as a result of coords being off, no hint and the dreaded 'micro in the bush' style hides and the worst part is that instead of geocachers looking forward to coming back to Swan Hill, many will now avoid it
Not the best geocaching reputation for a town to have, especially considering the amount of money and traffic that a good geocache hide can bring to towns like this.

4 DNFs was much better than I had expected although that was only due to the numbers of geocachers present and the numerous PAF calls shared by many many teams [^]
37 finds for 2 days was pretty cool considering!

Loved the history lesson here and while other people may not understand the reason for the hide, I found it very interesting! [^]
As I stretched out for the cache retrieval a noise in the shrubbery about 30cm to my left had me thankful that it's too cold and wet for snakes It was a rabbit bolting hell for leather for the rubbish pile and safety

TFTC. A easy find.
Signed and returned.

Was about to give and gave it one more lap. Can't say I enjoyed this one.

Found this one during our travels around the area on our recent road trip. TFTC

On a road trip from the ACT thru northern Victoria, to South Australia then back through Victoria (great Ocean road) and caching along the way. Whatever cache we happened to pass and I was in the mood we stopped to find and log. Some easier some harder:-)
Sorry this one was harder than we thought, couldn't find it...and yes searched HARD

Grass very long this time of year

Got it

Found at 6:04 pm but no sun set just a freezing cold wind . Thanks for clue Log signed.

Tftc

A quick find in a day of caching between Echuca and Swan Hill. Almost a driveby which is just what you want on a travel day. The flies are certainly friendly and several tried to board the vehicle as we were leaving but we managed to get rid of them, sticky! TFTC

Day 5 of our Road Trip.

Fifth of eight for today.

A short walk for a scratchy find. Nice to see the old train area clearly marked between the paddocks.

TFTC.

east find TFTC, SL.

12522 caches found

Grabbed this one on our walk ... Quickly found, good coords ... Walking around Australia for Prostate and Breast Cancers


took : nothing
left : nothing

Thanks for the cache fozzee63

Second last day of our big trip together with J+J.AU. Today we travelling from Berri to Echuca and picking up caches along the road as well as making enough kilometres to make it home tomorrow! This was one of the many visits today.
TFTC Wilbert67

Quickly found on our way to Echuca for the night. The flys here are super friendly. TFTC

TFTC and Happy New Year

After a bit of a search we had the cache in hand.

#1685 Only about an hour too early to witness the trained sunset, however we still had a few km's to travel to get home today. Whilst Mrs BGF made the find, Mr BGF maneuvered the geojeep and geocamper to point in the right direction to continue our journey homeward, he was happy about that as there was lots of long grass to gz Tftc fozzee63. For the record Mrs BGF returned unharmed.

Here for sunset and a cache grab! TFTC

Cool spot anyone every been bitten by a snake here?

Didn't need the GPS to find GZ here!
At 11.25am we had to decide whether to wait and watch the sunset or cache. Caching won! Thanks, an easy smiley.

A nice easy find Today

Found on the way home

New camo cache box replacing the old worn out cache box

Rainy netball day

Lid on cache in bad state, needs to be replaced.

Great day out with friends.

Great day out with the younger gen caching.

Has been a good day out caching. New cache container required, contents wet.

I wish I had have had another container to replace this one. I had a small ziplock bag for the log but the larger one I had with me was not large enough to put this crumbling cache in. Sorry my visit was not much help fozzee63. Maybe the next cacher could put it all in another container as a temporary protection for the crumbling cache and its contents.

No snakes, no rain, and no cattle ramp.
You couldn't see where the snakes had been - if any.
You could see where the rain had been because the lid of the cache is cracked and disintegrating and there was water inside the box. I replaced the bag that held the log book (which was surprisingly dry) but everything else in the cache was sodden. The entire container needs to be replaced as it has become brittle. I put it back upside down to protect it.
You couldn't see the cattle ramp either because it has been removed, but you can still see the remains of it in the paddock opposite the cache.

With recent "modifications" to the area, I think the first half of the clue may be as obsolete as some of the rustic charm that would have encouraged the CO to bring us here.
No clue needed though as the coordinates were spot on.
Sorry I didnt have the bits today to repair the damaged cache, but at least the log is dry.
SL TNLN TFTC fozzee63 & TFT well researched history lesson.[^]

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one of the list
