Unfortunately there does not seem to be any evidence that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. It would appear the owner of this cache listing is no longer interested in the cache and the cache has been abandoned.

As such the cache is being de-listed (Archived). 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 me regarding this cache, please send an email via my profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

Hi there Cache Owner,

This cache has come to my notice as there is a 'Needs Maintenance' log that that indicates there is some sort of issue with the placement and it needs your attention please.

Check out the Guiodelines here: [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable the cache**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) within 14 days,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?

You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:

- Check on the cache, repair and/or replace the cache 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 praises.

- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (within 14 days). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. For ongoing issues (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to speed.

- 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 I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will unfortunately have to de-list (Archive) it 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.

About time this cache was checked or archived as it has not been found for over 12 months
 
11-Apr-19
And yet another
 
11-Apr-19
Add another DNF to the list
TFTC
 
Def was not here
 
10-Mar-19
Looked for ages but could not locate
 
01-Feb-19
There was a white string inside the tree but could not reach it.... think it's gone.
 
31-Dec-18
Not here Sad
 
28-Dec-18
Definitely not at the location
 
20-Oct-18
Searched everywhere
 
18-Apr-18
Searched every tree. Did not find it. Found the exact coordinates but no sign of the cache. Suspect it was inside the trunk but even a torch didn't reveal its hiding place.
 
04-Mar-18
Nice easy find after the horror of Jenga:)
 
27-Feb-18
Thanks to Billy_Shears, BandYoda and Zuzzu for alerting me to the missing possum. Alas the possum has fled but a container with a log book is now resting at the GZ.
 
25-Feb-18
GizaGal, the big chook and I dropped in here after DNFing JENGA.
We found the string mentioned in previous caches, but there is nothing else up the GZ hole, I'm sure of that.
 
25-Feb-18
This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.
 
03-Feb-18
A second try here with a good torch in hand this time. Still no find and if the string mentioned in an earlier find is the one I found then it ain't got anything on the end of it.
 
28-Jan-18

Ive picked up far more rubbish today than caches. So frustrating . Poked my arm up the trunk as far as it could go but also circled around for other possibilities.
This area was one of my favourite running biking areas. This site was also an old quarry for extraction of shale for the old Traralgon brickworks.
 
26-Nov-17
Today was my last day of holidays, and I was heading home from Sale to Melbourne. I detoured via Walhalla for a bit of interest, then straight home without any more caches. Another nice quick find while on my travels. Not quite where I expected it to be!



Thanks for the cache, Joe Possum.
 
18-Oct-17
Great cache!! Nice view!
 
16-Oct-17
This cache has been on my list to grab for a while, and today with some to fill in the early afternoon was the perfect opportunity. What a great place for a cache Smile
 
12-Oct-17
What views around here. Lucky the cache was tied or it would have blown over the edge. I hugged the hide while trying to stay verticals in this extreme wind. Oh why today nature?
Quick find once at GZ.

The frogs were in full swing Smile ahhh the serenity.
 
01-Aug-17

Sweet pound

Nice little hideaway, would never have come here otherwise

Frogs were making an awesome racket!! Tftc
 
30-Jul-16
I needed a cache with 10+ favourites for today's souvenir and this was the closest one to home. With the kids settled in for their day nap and Daddy Long Legs supervising, I dashed up past Tyers, grabbed the cache then got quite a surprise when another car came down the track while I was mid-8-point-turn. Well, that was embarrassing and they hopefully thought I was just lost. TFTC Joe Possum.
P.S. The travel bug is no longer here.
 
16-Jul-16
Easy find. Didn't swap anything.
 
11-Jul-16

A quick pickup on my way to a few other caches nearby. TFTC
 
06-Jun-16
After "Carr's Bridge" cache we headed a bit further south along to Rawson-Tyres Road to the track leading into this one. The cache was cleverly positioned in its hidey-hole so there's no chance it will get wet or even spotted by a casual observer-come-muggle.

Nice spot for a cache and found without a problem.

Perfect spot for a cache... Tfth

Today we explored Moe and surrounds using geocaching as a guide and picking up a few on the way and this was one of them. A different hide that we have not seen before.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.
 
24-Oct-15
Took basketball, left army man
 
24-Oct-15

17-Oct-15
Heading down to Traralgon today to attend the 1 Month to Mega event in Newman Park, might as well get a few more caches on the trip there and back.
Nice hide, subtle. Great view.
Thanks for placing this cache Joe Possum
 
28-Sep-15

Tftc i put a new sheet of paper in there and put all the logs in a baggie. Took a few things and left lots for kiddies
 
09-Sep-15
Nice views of the distant ranges snd the nearby pond?. Bit of a challenging find, rather creative. Froggies croaking away in the background.. thanks..!!
 
13-Aug-15
On the way up to the pair of 4.5 terrain caches we stopped at this one where a quick search showed up the hide. The swamp or the cut certainly allows the view to open up. We completed the signing duties and re hid TFTC
 
28-Jun-15
As this cache has lots of favourite points, I am a bit suspicious that perhaps it was meant to be hidden a bit more than it was when we found it today, as it was there in plain sight.
 
21-Jun-15
After a beautiful sunny day bike riding we arrived at GZ a bit later than planned. We were worried that it would be too dark. We arrived right on sunset and enjoyed a view of the red sky as the sun disappeared. We were not disappointed, thanks for the clever hide.
 
10-Jun-15
After attempting to do some 4wd-ing nearby to get to another cache bit being limited by gates we did a quick duck by this cache on the way home. What a neat little spot with a great view! I enjoyed being serenaded by the local wildlife while resourcing this cleverly hidden cache. Thanks so much for the hide!

Out exploring on Anzac Day

Used the hint after a little searching.

01-Mar-14
Date: 1 March 2014
Time: 8:26am
Find # 3621
Streak: 213 days

I headed out early on this fine looking weekend on a solo caching trip to also get some K's under my feet as good practice for the upcoming Trailwalker charity event. I also wanted to pick up some rare difficulty / terrain combos and unloved caches in the area.

Cache number two for the day, another nice quick one, although a nice little hide, something I had not seen before.

Thanks to Joe Possum for the cache. TNLN

Out on a cache run with my mate Sheppythekid, on a nice summer's day, that took us to the Latrobe Valley and up into the Strezlecki Ranges.
Dropped in to grab this cache on our way to the lookout over the Tyers River Gorge. I have never seen this sort of hide, so simple, yet so effective, nice view as well. TFTC. Cheers, BWBandit
