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.

Suscoe was enjoying our last full day in Bendigo for this trip.
This was out first find for the day.
A pleasant walk to GZ after yesterday's rain.
There was a bit of water on the track and in the waterhole.
Thanks to stinga4 for this hide.
As mentioned by others the container is broken but surprisingly the log was dry today after yesterday's rain. Who would have thought that could happen?????

The CO needs to visit to make this waterproof again.

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

----------

I've noticed this cache is carrying a maintenance log which really does need to be addressed by the cache owner.

The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](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.

Find No. 2546. Found with FUF009 at 1.37pm.

A days outing to Bendigo with Geodog Penny and FUF009 came along as well. An outing that we all needed, being the first one since Mrs Tyred n Cranky got operated on early March.
Our aim was to find a few caches and get some points for the 'Cache Carnival'.

A nice walk to this one that we all went to. Mrs Tyred n Cranky had been having spells here and there as she has to take it easy being just three weeks after her operation.

A nice quick find.

Find # 7973

A day in Bending with Tyred n Cranky and Geodog penny. Headed over to grab some caches for the "Cache Carnival" and to get some points towards the souvenirs on offer.

After 2 DNFs at the start of the day, we ended up having a good run on finds. I ended up with 17 for the day and Tyred n Cranky got 19.
This was the first caching trip out for Mrs Tyred n Cranky after her operation. So she still had to take it easy but did managed a couple of good walks into the bush.

A nice walk down the hill and once found I had quite the walk up.
As previously mentioned the container lid is broken and need some attention.
