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

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash.

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 Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.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

If you wish to contact me please send your email via my profile - [Bunjil,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

### **MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###
This cache would appear to be in need of owner intervention, therefore I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Geocache maintenance is a cache owner responsibility and includes regular visits to the cache to ensure it is in proper working order, especially when a seeker reports a problem with the cache.

Your prompt attention to any log that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers, have a read here: [Cache Maintenance Guidelines.](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) The guidelines advise; **if you can't fix it straight away then Disable it till you can.** This Help Centre article tells you how it can be done; [Temporarily Disable and Enable.]( http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 )

**Please respond to this situation within 28 days - so as to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.**

If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and indicating how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to date, or the cache will be treated as an abandoned and archived without further notice.

**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.

Couldn't find it

In area -headed to traralgon today awesome spot for a cache though today wasnt our day did find a mint tin lid though cheers

Only found a lid to a box...

11:31
We looked high, we looked low, we looked in, we looked out, but today there was no way we could work this one out! Found a great spot to place a cache- nothing there! Think we were in the right spot - back for another look next time.

Thanks anyway to Jimmymaff for bringing us to this location.

A hard one, almost in someone's front yard. Too many suspecting muggles around.

After reading previous logs when I saw the canine come running towards my geo-vehicle I was a little worried but, its owner called it back inside before I left the car - thank goodness.
A nice place for a cache and after travelling to Walhalla with misschief18 last week it meant even more.

There is no lid on the container but it is being kept dry by its surroundings - so far

Thanks for a cache on the way home from camping at paradise valley. SL

Little tricky this one, mostly since it's almost on someone's property and the dog residing there isn't too happy about our intrusion! Still,a nice day to be out here. Tftc

Like this spot

Whittlesea BUG is riding the Gippsland Plain RT over nighting in Maffra than returning.
A good excuse for picking up same caches.
Thanks for the cache

Cache has no lid and about to rain. Hopefully enough cover to keep dry.

Nice one in a nice town.

Lid is missing but everything is ok.

Barking dog attracts attention

Thanks first one and kids loved finding it

Rainy day cache. Overlooked it a few times before closer inspection yeilded a find.

Thanks for showing us this interesting plaque and the history. Toongabbie is a lovely little town. Thanks for bringing us here.

Bad day for caching.

Been to this site many times, this guy deserves a big pat on the back for his efforts,
What a legend.... TFTC

Found Today. Slowly working down the old trainline.

Thanks Jimmymaff for all the effort putting these out

A worthy tribute to Ned Stringer and friends. An easy find.. thanks..!!

Good hide

This one was not where I feel comfortable looking around. Too close to residences and when I upset the dog early on a Sat morning I decided to get out of the place.

Good quick find! Thought we were lost for a little bit and going to someone's house haha

Found it whoop whoop

It was fun looking for my first ever one. Thanks to the Creator

Found this cache easily with Fluffy_b. TFTC!

Found while heading home from Glenmaggie. TFTC

Nice little hide and a great little town first cache of the day! Tftc

Nice Saturday drive to fish out some cache's. Nice easy find

4:28 pm #242
Heading back home with 88andy88 after an awesome day kayaking in Lake Glenmaggie. Decided to have "many" regular breaks along the way.
Nice little history lesson here.

OzHockeyChick and i contunued on our way home and found this cache in a historical burial gravestone monument with a historical story to it. Tftc

TheRustyDuck and I were on our way to the Alpine National Park for a spot of camping and hiking. Having family live in Heyfield I have driven past Toongabbie many, many times but never stopped before. Thanks for bringing me to the place. TFTC

Easter long weekend brought with it a perfect opportunity to get out of the usual cache hunting grounds and into fresh pasture. yellowdaisy135 and I found ourselves all the way up on Mt. Howitt, in the Alpine National park. Its a truly beautiful area and thanks to all the cache owners for helping to bring us out here to get in amongst it. It wasn't our most successful trip in terms of numbers, but it was certainly one of the best.
We managed a few of these Railtrail caches. Despite spending a lot of time around here as kids, I don't think either of us has spent much time exploring the trail. Might have to bring my bike next time.

Got muggled as we looked for the find. We just smiled and waved. Thanks Silkyie

Too easy! Found it. Yay!

Boba fett

Very close to the nearby house. Good hiding spot. TFTC

Found it !!

Yeah! Found a jimmy maff in record time. It's a miracle. Lovely spot and like others I originally thought it was someone's property. TFTC

Windy today. Tftc

I attempted this one a few months ago but my phone had no reception and so the gps was useless and my heart wasn't in it. Knew exactly where to go this time round and found it in a nanosecond! Glad to tick this one off the list. Tftc

Wish we had parked closer! The muscles were starting to seize up after swimming, cycling and even running my way through my first triathlon earlier today.

What a pretty location and a clever hide.

TFTC

second for day nice wiick find
onward to tinamba

Good spot to stop for lunch . Ned is well known in Walhalla Stringers creek thanks

Found on a caching day

Wish we had time to dust-off our bikes
TFTC

Easy find with angiekbox. SL Tftc.

Another found while adventuring with Redwiccan. Signed, put back, thanks so much!

Drove straight past this memorial thinking it was part of someone's front yard! My son had a great time playing with the pebbles while I made the quick find. TFTC Jimmymaff.

First find. Pretty excited

Found on the way to Melbourne
Thanks Jimmymaff

A cool little hide
TFTC

I thought I reckonised the name Stringer as I have driven through Toongabbie before, now the connection with Walhalla Stringer in known. TNLN. TFTC

Found this one whilst on our way to the sale dogs . Thanks for bringing us here , found it strange that there is a memorial in someone's front yard and wonder what they think every time someone rocks up ! The cache needs a bit of a paint job , starting to wear off TFTC

A quick find thanks

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Found on 14 Feb on a caching tour of the area. Good hide.
Thanks for the hint.

Great Hide. Thank you for the info about the late Ned Stringer. TFTC

happy find, funny what you can find under a rock

Felt a bit sacreligious searching around a grave, although the occupant was moved a longtime ago!
TNLNSL
Thanks

Almost felt like I was searching for a cache in someone's front yard, there were even 2 cars in the driveway. Had a look around and then got down on hands and knees to explore some more and soon uncovered the cache. Signed the log, returned it and then continued on my way home - just a few more caching stops to go.

Found the breath mints container on 2nd look around!! Certainly felt a little wrong stalking around out the front of someone's house!!

Found it! Was looking around too-far-afield at first. So close to home. I think our girls are going to enjoy this treasure-hunting sport! Might be a micro-cache, but managed to squeeze a trinket into the cache for someone else to enjoy.

Battled the hail and rain with Mr Jimmy and Jnr Jimmy no. 1 in tow. TFTC!!

Seems I bet cj to this one thank god one for dj he was busy reading while I searched. Needs a new note as this one is getting full

A guy & a girl - 13 Towns - 500 kms - 60 caches

September Stroll was born earlier in the week with an idea hatched to head in a loop towards Sale starting from Moe. Heading north up to Heyfield, across to Stratford then down to Sale before arriving home late, it was a magnificent spring day to enjoy East Gippsland.

We parked the GeoRanger and headed to GZ. This made us uncomfortable as it seemed we were in the middle of someones front yard. We found the cache after a short search, thinking as we approached this would be a perfect spot for a fake rock!!

Thanks for the cache Jimmymaff!!!

Lucky that the neighbours were out as they still had their gardening tools left out beside the hide. Already have a wheelbarrow...TFTC

Nice stop on my way thru to Heyfield

Well we did not expect to find that there. another interesting piece of history. Found with a youngling and banana 1,2 and 3. TFTC

Found with Wyrdsisiter, a Youngling banana1 and banana 3. TFTC

TFTC

Felt a bit strange being right next to house. Good bit of history at this spot. It's blowing a gale in Toontown today ??TFTC

WOW, I wonder what the neighbors think..... It felt like we were trespassing in someones front yard. Great hide. LNTN TFTC

It felt we were in someones yard. Good find.

Log to follow

Vey close to house, as others have stated. Found pretty easily. Bloke in the house looking at us out of his window must have been wondering............

Found with hubby - TFTC!!

We had found this several years ago on a caching run with KI Bug who were trying to get us interested in this weird new past time of geocaching. It worked!! A great way to spend a day, looking for Tupperware containers with the aid of multimillion dollar equipment.
TFTC

#2 in our geocaching day. Easy one!!

Found at 16:15. After spending the afternoon at the weir stopped for an ice cream at the general store, had a read of interesting info at the rotunda here and then it was off to get this easily found cache. Thanks

Almost felt like we were in someone's yard with this one. Good co-cords & had cache in hand quickly. TFTC Jimmymaff
