As there has been no CO response to the last request to attend to this cache, the cache is being Archived on the basis that it has been abandoned.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained here: [Unarchive a geocache](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED**###
This cache is carrying one or more logs which suggest some attention by the cache owner is needed.

The guidelines advise that the CO should make occasional visits to check on the cache as well as promptly address any logs that indicate that the cache requires some attention. If you can not attend to the issue promptly, then you need to Disable the cache - I have disabled it this time.

Please respond to this situation (or indicated your intentions including a date) by **4th October**, otherwise it will be necessary to withdraw the cache from the Active listing. The [Geocache Maintenance guideline](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

**And don't forget,** once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; [Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [Temporarily Disable and Enable ](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

After getting a phone call about this cache I checked it out, looks like the shire has been cleaning up here and the cache has gone!

Hi. Was caching and took the time to get yours but to no avail. Even checking with another cacher who had found this one. It wasnt where expected or anywhere around. Area has been disterbed an dirt around tree. ? Missing? Scrappy_1

Searched for a quick find after being stumped by the mystery rail trial. Beautiful day to be in the park - picked up the TB to take on an adventure

In Maffra today on business with enough time spare to squeeze in a few caches. What a lovely little area this is! We stopped to check out the rope swing that was dangling over the river... do people actually use this? Nowhere near enough water below today for this one to be safe. Would love to see the river when it's full. Wandered off to find the cache and soon had it in hand. SL TNLN Thanks for bringing us here oakman1.

Geomum makes another quick find on a warm Sunday stroll ! TFTC!

Tftc. Quick find whilst at the park

Have passed the cows many times. Amazing what you see if only you stop and look. TFTC.

Dogs were barking near the river. There was quite a spread.before us. Tftc

Found it...1st for the day

Tftc! Little spiders around

Tftc!

Love the park. Tftc

After a great long weekend, nanton34 suggested we all had lunch at what was a great park for the geokids (all 7). The kids had a ball, but after working out the solution for a multi it was realised that nanton34 would be without a find in maffra today as the final WP was in another park. Luckily for me I was a short walk away from finding this one, a cache previously found by nanton when he first discovered this great reserve. The fake cows are doing a horrible job at chewing the grass unfortunately, that aside I also recommend stopping by for a picnic to break up a long trip home. tftc

Found it today......Yay! I don't know how I missed last time. A very nice park to visit and take a walk. Tyftc

I use to come to this park with my family when we lived here. The park has changed a bit since then, much neater looking now. I have brought my son to this park many times before we started geocaching, it's always been a lovely picnic spot. TFTC

Great cache. Thanks
TB heading to the big smoke

TB moved. Log getting a little wet.

Got tim!
Grabbed a swap, taking it north.

TB drop

thought it was going to be an easy find but didn't find it .. family playing in the park told us they had just seen a brown snake so we were a bit cautious to go too far off track .. will try again..

Exploring the rail trail environs

TB drop

Caches always lead you to interesting places. Could have driven straight through Maffra without knowing this place was there. Needed a stop off for lunch with the kids on the way home from camping. Beautiful play area and reserve. Then continued on to the Motor Museum on the way out, great place. Picked up the TB.

Driving Dangerous goods from Dandenong to Bega, stopped in maffra for one drop and then for lunch and decided to grab a cache )

Found with Billy_Shears, AN&J. Log was a little bit soggy.

Found 15/1 with GG ANJ.
Slightly damp log

A little search and geomum finds it! A pretty park for a toilet break, leg stretch and geocache!

Nice cache! On the way up to NSW for holidays we decided to stretch our legs and give in to that little part of your brain that screams GEOCACHING!!! An awesome place to put a cache.

Noticed a DNF so I went for a walk passed the cache and it is still tucked away nicely so keep looking

Checked this for the second time in 2 days, still no luck

Another lovely walk in Maffra. Thanks. Silkyie.

What a lovely park.
Cache located and log signed
Thanks oakman1

Kato Potato and I cruised into Maffra for a toddler-free afternoon of caching and waddled our pregnant bellies past this beautiful playground (future destination - tick!) and on to the gz. Passing a couple of teenagers sunbathing after a dip in the creek, boy did they look sheepish; must have been a bit amorous, we made a quick find, signed the log and were on our way. TFTC oakman1, a delightful park I'm sure I'll bring my kid(s) back to since I work in Maffra occasionally.

Such a beautiful spot to discover with kyabbott on a caching afternoon. We waddled our pregnant selves in the general direction of this one and were slightly worried that gz may be located very nearby some frisky looking teenagers by the riverside... happily this awkward confrontation was avoided and the cache was quickly in hand, conveniently out of sight of the nearby muggles. Thanks for the cache oakman1, and for the introduction to this reserve.

Nice cache for the kids

Thanks for replacing hillywilly FT(re)F all is good and back ready to go nice easy find with kids

Just went and placed a replacement cache in the same spot so anyone visiting Maffra can go find this with confidence that it is there!

Think I know where it was meant to be but nothing there

Looked everywhere no sign at all..... Mia??

Needs to be fixed

No sign of anything at or around GZ today.

Found it but your notes are gone, looks like the container was left open

Looked everywhere found lots of slaters and some sick Cicada shells but no cache.

Nice easy find while Mrs Ringtail did a bit of groceries.
Didn't even know this spot existed!
Log was very damp. TFTC.

Cache already a little damp. Tftc nice spot
