### **A TIMELY REMINDER** ###
### (CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED) ###
----------
Thank you for temporarily disabling this cache for maintenance - it is appreciated. However, I've noticed that it has been disabled for a while now . . . . . . . somewhat more than the few weeks suggested in the [**Guidelines,**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#maint) so it's time for me to take some kind of action. I wish I didn't have to, but others are probably wanting to know what's going on 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, it is likely that I will, unfortunately, Archive the cache. Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then.
Please don't send me an email but instead follow the advice posted above.

A great place for a cache with history. Lots of grass but
soon had cache in hand. Afraid container wet and broken.
Signed and replaced with a bit of cover. TFTC.

As I was travelling up to Bethunga for a motorcycle rally, I called by and logged this cache. tftc.
It was a last minute decision to attend the Alexandra Event so after work on Friday Rapidlywild and I made our way to Alexandra entertained by the lightening along the way.
We had a fun filled weekend collecting many smileys and having some laughs and meeting up with fellow cachers, another Mega ticked off.
Time to make the journey home and pick up some smileys along the way.
Talk about long grass at this one. But after a search and nothing thought it really has to be there. So in I went again and came up with the goods, signed, replaced and on our way. Quick pic snapped at this one too

A fairly late decision resulted in myself and 1 party of the FurfacesLL clan headding south towards Alexandra Event. After working during the day Friday, the drive down Friday night felt never ending. We had a great 3 days stomping around Alexandra and surrounds putting our scribble in many caches.
Day to head on home, collecting a few smilies of course
Well this one was frustrating..... I was covered in prickles from the grass that was well over my head..... We searched the obvious spot, no luck, GPS is pointing 10m in there..... back in there I go..... more prickles.... no cache..... back to obvious spot and FFLL comes up with goods lol typical spent the next 10 min getting the prickles out of my clothes so I could get back into the car.
Thanks for the cache hide howjen567

Out and about letting my GPS be my guide
What a beautiful part of Australia to explore. Without Geocaching I would never have found so many interesting places in my travels. We really are so fortunate. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment howjen567... Appreciate your efforts...

Another weekend and another road trip, this time I was headed to Wangaratta to attend the next lead up event for the Alexandra Mega.
A long the way a had a few missions to complete and of course there are a lot of other caches to be found, this being a one of these said caches.
I had passed this one many times in the past but I was never on the right road, today I made sure I was and I was able to find the cache.

Cool place. Might have to build one like that at home. Cache was quickly located after admiring the building. Tftc
Nice day out for a family outing to do some cache finding. TFTC. Very overgrown
After a quick search we found it. Glad we didn't do this in summer. Nice old grain store
Easy find not that it was the funniest place to poke around in. Interesting spot to stretch legs TFTC
#6157 - 13:55; On the way home from dropping the geoteen in Melbourne ready to start university, so took the opportunity to grab a few caches on the return journey. A trip down this side road had been on the 'to do' list and today I took the turn off to get onto it. Arrived at GZ, checked out the old building and then negotiated the long grass and reeds to locate the cache. All in good order and replaced snugly as found. TFTC howjen567
with the river still in flood we continued on holidays so more Caching time.
Now we have wandered from Anglesea to Mt Gambier Adelaide and back to Geelong now to Alexander onto Euroa and beyond we have found many other like minded people so the caching adventure grows stronger.
As we came through this area we met up with Roosterman and joined in with the rebel act to do the caches in this area had a great couple of days doing the tour.
Thanks howjen567 for putting this cache out for us to find

Found with misschief18 on the way to Beechworth - great history stop to read your information - shame there is no plaque or info board there.
Found with sunset62. Disappointed I could find no information about this building at the site. Thank you for your description. Very interesting reading. Quick find of the cache. Swapped a bag of magnets for a little pony. TFTC
We have gone past this cache on many occasions in our travels north and south but today was the day to divert off the highway at Euroa and finally see what it was all about.
Not surprised we have not spotted it in the past, but great to see history preserved and protected.

Driven past hear a 1000 times when younger and never noticed this building thanks TNLNSL TFTC
1/4 on today's rd trip, we drive past these quite often but are always either going to/ coming from and don't have time to stop, so today being a little out of the norm we made the stop and got the smiley.

Quaint but odd little brick hut. Think perhaps little people from munchkin land live in it. Tftc
An interesting structure just on dark. I found this one while the others looked at the building.
A nice easy drive by in the end. Thanks howjen567

We always seem to miss the turn off to access this cache but today we were determined to make the slight detour and visit this interesting historic building to get a better close up view. Thanks howjen567 for highlighting the old grain store, hopefully it will get repaired very soon.
A cache I have wanted to do for some time but was always rushing by and didn't take the time to find the side road to take me to it. Today was the day and the cache was soon in hand. Lovely area for snakes though.

Meant to do this one but got on the wrong road! Will do this this one on another trip
What a fantastic bit of history this cache is. How I love caching! Building has been fully restored and looks magnificent. Thank you to ChewinPrickles
On a day trip up to cooma. This sounded so interesting i had to check it out! Tftc
GeoRoadTrip with JSando and Affinity the GeoDog on our way to Bright. Due to time constraints we've had to be picky about which caches we hunt for. I loved the story of this cache so it was a definite on our list. TFTC
Quite easily found due to the well trodden on grass which was a great hint! The photos also added to the clues
Dropped in to do this geocache on my down to attend the Melbourne MEGA Event.
Cool bit of History.

It was the end of my week long geocaching holiday in Melbourne, and after the Mega event I had the long drive back to Sydney to look forward to. But at least I could break the drive up with some cache finds along the way.
Today I focussed on all the North bound caches along the highway. It gave me plenty of short breaks from the road and keep me well rested.
Thanks for the cache.

Looked at the spot a couple of times before seeing it. Great hide. Knew it was in the area as the grass has been well trodden down.
What a magnificent old building, which we would never have seen if not for this cache. Thanks for the interesting history and for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.
Easy drive by find and TFTC. Gifted the cache with a smiley fridge magnet because I thought it needed it!
Great hide. Thankfully freezing so no snakes! My Co-or's were 15m's off thou!
Finally remembered to pull over in time to get an exit for this one. It's a great spot and well worth the time to stop and have a look. TFTH
Had seen this on the map but always when heading South. Today were going in the right direction so cruised by for a look. GZ seemed a bit off, luckily Geoson used his intuition well. Structure seems pretty intact, hopefully it can be preserved. Left Santa TB. TFTC
[:(!] On our way home we pick up a few caches along the way and this was one of them, parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and walk in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was located and it was quickly in hand.
I like it
Another one of the list

Find 1346 at 14:33. I was on a solo trip up the Hume on my way to Bright for NYE and it gave me the perfect opportunity to make lots of caching stops without annoying my passengers. I managed to collect 10 caches on this run although I was a bit selective as I was weary of the additional drive time this was adding to the journey! This was find number 8. I'll have to pick off the remaining ones on future trips.
I'm discovering lots of things along this road today that I never knew existed and this is certainly one of them. I was on the lookout for snakes at GZ as the grass is very tall at the moment but thankfully there didn't appear to be any around today. Thanks for the cache, chewinprickles!

I have driven up the highway so many times and told myself that I had to get this on sometime. Today, while doing a cache at a roadside stop, I noticed the southbound turnoff marker and it was game on.
No muggles in the cold wet weather - just a couple of dumb cows watching the equally dumb cacher.
Grabbed TB.

Ms FV has a weekend workshop nearby and has left me with the push bike in mid thirty temp to
amuse myself collecting smilies. Riding the pushy it is possible to sneak up to the GZ and
not possibly fly past like when in the car. (Today's count: 15 finds, 1 DNF, lots of fluid
and nearly 50Km.)
Saw this as riding North on the freeway. The road passing by the front of it has to be accessible somewhere so am hoping to grab on the ride Southward home. Located access to the road a little further North getting to the GZ for the Cache near the rest stop.

Suscoe was travelling homewards today and so this was our 4th stop on the southerly journey.
We pulled the caravan over and soon had the cache in hand.
A bit of rain but the cache was dry.
Thanks to chewinprickles for placing this cache at this interesting location.
Lots of high grass, thankfully no snakes!!!

Found it. Sent my first trackable off on its journey - hope it sends back some photos as it goes
This is another cache that has been on my list for some time. Today was the day. TFTC
Took the opportunity to grab this cache on our way home. Have spied this previously but didn't know what it was. Took the long way around to find the cache but enjoyed finding out about the history. Thanks howjen567.
A nice detour from the main highway. A clear track lead to GZ but the cache was exposed. Made sure it was safely tucked away again. TFTC
Found on the way home from Melbourne. Interesting building tftc

Found on the way back to Canberra from the Geocaching Car Rally at Cardinia Park with Team Bob! (Kittykatch, GrimRaider and MrRoo). A beaut cache on a short diversion from our long highway drive. Freezing rain had us back in the car in no time - TFTC
Interesting building. Like others, have driven past many times without thinking about what it was. On the way home from a footy weekend in Melbourne this weekend and we made the D to stop and check it out. Would loved to have it seen it when it wasn't fenced off....and being used.
Thanks chewinprickles, an interesting little spot, glad we checked it out. Fav point added and a TB dropped off.

Quick stop on my road trip to Canberra with geobuddy BJ. Was pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem. TN, left pathtag. TFTC chewinprickles
Thank you for bringing us to this location. A landmark I was not aware of. Tftc - Zahleh
We tried from the highway, but this wasn't a good idea! We were soon on the right road and cache was in hand
A very quick find, Muggle Hubby had it in his hand in no time. He said it was totally uncovered and very obvious. After I had signed it he put it back and concealed it slightly. The coordinates were spot on. I located it with my iPad for our 34th cache.
I've been camping for a few days in the area on a river and decided to take a drive around to find some more caches. So driving out of the campsite. ID asked me where i was off to. I didn't even know he cached.
Together we headed out this way and knocked off as many as we could. Cheers to all the owners who placed these caches. All were in good condition when we found them.

Day one of our post Christmas / pre New Year trip... taking our new tent trailer for a test run, weather was very hot and humid. Our travels are taking us up to Ettamogah and across to Old Tallangatta before returning home.
Visiting many towns along the way, taking the Geo wife to places she has never been before, and giving our Geo Pug time to sniff out new territories
Did not expect to be seeing constant temps in the high 30's to low 40's... Geo wife got to see her first live black snake on the road in Australia, and I almost stood on a 5 foot brown snake at one cache on the HCRT, and a red back spider at another.
Stayed at some nice FREE camp sites along the way and a couple of caravan parks as well, learned a lot of things along the way, history and more, but in all a great adventure and we were able to clock up our 1000th find along the way ..
thanks to the CO for this cache

It is quite an interesting building and from the back it appears very solid. I was glad that I had included a stop at this site. TFTC
have lost count of how may times we have driven past this cache and it neighbour, we always forget to take the side road, today we remembered. Don't like wandering through long grass and it was very long here, thankfully found the cache quickly and made a hasty retreat. tftc
Quick find as I have fear of Snakes. Was expecting a Tiger Snake to appear at any moment.

Initially this cache wasn't on our list for today. However some caching friends asked us to check the cache to see if their travel bug was still there. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find of the cache but, unfortunately, the travel bug was nowhere to be seen. The cache and it's contents were in good condition. The nearby historic building was certainly very interesting. We have no real idea about the intended function of the building but we are certain that whatever was stored there, there was only a moderate quantity - consistent with hand cultivation. TFTC chewinprickles.
A quick and nervous retrieval on our way home from an afternoons caching in Euroa. Took path tag - tftc Chewinprickles
Not a very good experience, snake season and I was hesitant to go to the tree in the middle of the field. Am absolutely kicking myself to know someone found it after us , Damn It! Also had the chance to get a pathtag- but failed. Must come back to Euroa to do this cache
