Time to say goodbye .

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

----------

Hi there Cache Owner,

It looks like this cache needs your attention in some way please, as one or more seekers have indicated in their logs that there is an issue with the placement.

Even though there has been a temporary log provided by 'tamalia', based on previous logs, this cache is still in need of attention. Perhaps it's time for a visit to check on the situation?

**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days so others know exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication kill this cache.**

#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache and repair and/or replace 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.

- **Place A Write Note Log::-** Reviewers don't have a crystal ball, so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site has works going on, or you have been in hospital, or the area is in flood, they can't tell what is going on with the cache.
So please just post a note to the page explaining the situation (within 14 days) and when a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
**Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks, so as to keep everyone up to speed.**

- **Adopt/Archive:-** 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 a Reviewer next looks at the cache page, it is likely that they will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) 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.

**JUST A TIP:-** In case you are not aware, there is a Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own. Have a read about it [**HERE.**](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/07/welcome-to-the-cache-owner-dashboard/?newsletter=PM) You will find your very own dash board [**HERE**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner?utm_source=geocaching&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=COD)

I found it.. but there is no longer a log.
Or a lid? If it ever had one...

Needs maintenance asap.
Nil log, found a bit of cardboard someone had signed on the ground..
It has no lid.. unless it never had one.
I found it open and exposed.
I placed the open side back in its hiding spot so it's less obvious to muggels.
Unfortunately I am travelling so I have no basic items to do a temp fix.

Quick easy find - we added a piece of paper for future cachers to sign!! TFTC

It's a bit overcast and cold but I have loved coming to check out the sights.

Found at 11.00am. Away for weekend by the coast, A typical spring morning. Windy, cold, with showers of rain. Lots of people enjoying the outdoors. Cache found easily, which was good considering the amount of foot traffic.
Thanks
K&M

Found! Lovely spot for a cache, thanks for encouraging me to finally take a walk along the foreshore!

Cache might need maintenance, lid to container (if it existed) is missing, logs exposed to weather.

Found micro cache at 1:20pm. Such a beautiful beach. Didn’t see any ship wrecks. TFTC pen stopped working so couldn’t sign the log book.

Thanks

We (Beavar ad harrowang) were quite mesmerised by the racehorses being taken into the sea but apparently it happens 6 days a week. They seemed to be enjoying it - their trainers perhaps not so much!

Horses cross here! Lots of race horses doing their morning swimming exercise. A fascinating sight and one we don’t see in our home Town in the NE of Victoria. Day 7 of our Victorian winter holiday and now joined by our daughter and family (Beavar) in Warrnambool for a couple of days. SL at 9.03am #8075 TFTC tackle_head

Found

Quick find out for morning walk before the rain hits. Tftc

Ooo abit tricky to find this one!

Tricky hiding spot! Great job!

Very tricky hiding spot well done!

Checked and replaced as required

Nice stroll to the always pleasant sounds of breaking surf. Pretty easy find although Doc looked over it and then Mrs spotted it. Had to etch our name on log, dawn pen stopped working. Should always bring a spare. TFTC. Cheers.

Find number 9506 at 2:18:21 pm on Saturday the 15 May 2021
Travelled down to Warrnambool for the weekend, primarily to do a CITO on Saturday morning but also to grab a few choice geocaches that I have been eyeing off for some time. Also the obligatory market required to keep MuggleWifeDoes happy
A quick wander through an empty caravan park to GZ. Quick find today.
**Thanks for placing this cache tackle_head**

Very busy path today being mothers day, got to sign in the break between walkers

Out for an early morning stroll with geodog and phone call with my daughter. Should have got this on the way not the way back, a lot less muggles then, but was to busy chit chatting.

Great hiding spot

Easy find

Great hide! So nice to have a little rest

Whilst I took a seat, to rest my feet.
I searched to see, what what was right before me.
I caught a glimpse of where I might find, the cash that someone really did hide. I signed my name and logged it in, continued my walk to take in the view for a win.

Found it with lance51 TFTC

Found it with Silence49

??

Thanks for the cache.
Busy path at 10.30am - everyone out enjoying a perfect day.
I’m sure it will be busier over Easter, but we head home tomorrow after a week away

Log full, needs replacing. Container needs a clean out.

??

Nice! Had to be super careful of muggles

Nice find, great coastline. Thanks Steve for the find & your log is full. Didn’t have another to replace it. Cheers, Terry & Ange

TFTC. Couldn’t open it so here is proof

Nice little find on our trip to Warrnambool

Found it, but couldn't open it! Here's a picture for proof. TFTC

Found and eventually retrieved but way too tight of a lid to log. Loads of people around so tricky!

DNF

Found on a nice quiet night, sun had just gone down. Mozzies were everywhere... watch out!! Tftc

Great little spot, my son was very impressed! Was on a walk without a pen but the log is pretty full anyway.

Could the next finder replace the log with a piece of paper ?
Thankyou kindly
Steve

Did I look suspicious?! Probably!! So I still have the cache in my hand, waiting for everyone to go away!! A great little hide! I always love these ones!!! The log is full but I squeezed my name onto it. Great spot and nice Sunday arvo challenge!! TFTC!!

TFTC this is a very well thought out cache

Gotcha.

Great little hide.

I had to time my grab between the passing muggles exercising .
Log signed and replaced.

Tftc

Need more paper. Great hiding spot.

Nice hide. It was muggle city today so had to time our run. Log full so photo proof sent to CO.

Out for stroll and this was on my way. Nicely hidden.

Thanks to tackle_head for the placement and fun.

Turned into a beautiful day for a walk along the beach

Tricky to open but got there in the end. Log full. Tftc

Great Hiding Spot. TFTC

Great little hiding spot.

Terrific hiding spot

found

Nice hiding spot! Thanks

Thanks. Great little hiding spot

Had to take care with this one as lots of people around.
Will need a new log soon..

Great little find, such a good walk

We followed the Great Ocean Road to Port Campbell and then to Warrnambool. All these breathtaking views and spectacular rock formations, the perfect place for earthcaches, indeed.
However, in Warrnambool we found two traditionals and a virtual cache.

A short stroll from the carpark through the park and we reached the path. The cache wasn't far away. A neat little hide.

TFTC tacle_head

This morning required a stroll along the beach
Hmmm !!
Maybe that should be a gallop along the beach ??
Alas !! Unlike others assembled in the carpark,
I had not brought a horse with me [:o)]

So due to the amount of equine traffic and seabiscuits on the beach,
I kept to the safer inland walking trail
And in less than 10 minutes was looking out from a lookout towards numerous shipwreck sites.

Nearby,
I found a very clever little cache hide

TFTC !!

Fave dance for this one [^]

#2209
Found it during our travel in Australia.
Amazing beach.
Thanks for hide.

... quiet a real Big container. TFTC

Found but forgot our pen. Had some trouble opening it but eventually got it. Photo as proof

I’m still a novice at finding these caches. I think I needed more hints. Was it on the ground or in a tree? It was fun trying though and staying away from the muggles. Hello from Canada

Nice hide and great container. Did have some trouble getting open but succeeded.

Tftc

Easy find for the kids.

Found while out for a walk. Clever hide. Tftc

Sneaky little hide, tftc

Last cache of the evening before heading back to the hotel to collapse for the night. We've been going 200kph ever since we landed in Melbourne last weekend! It's been a terrific visit so far.

This cache was icing on the cake for the night! Brilliant camo! Both Mrs. iowaPete and I were impressed. All's well with the container. Had to use a bit of stealth to grab and replace the container. Lotsa muggles using the path this evening. Took care of the paperwork and tucked it back away to keep it secret, keep it safe...

TFTC

iowaPete

Thanks for the rest. I needed it! - and the cache.

Stayed at Warrnambool for few days
enjoyed myself to found it
Thanks tackle_head for placing the cache

Found today on our stroll from breakfast, our son was quick on the find. Great work on the camo although we had a bit of trouble with the rubber stopper being jammed in. Tftc.

Thanks

Nice to have a seat

Found today with Geo kid
Geo kid had it in hand before I even knew it
Thanks

????

Sneaky hide! I love caches like this!!! Lots of muggles out walking and riding tonight so had to pick my timings well!
TFTC! Favourite point from me!

Fifth of twelve finds with Aussiewolves driving to Port Campbell. Aussiewolves had some trouble opening the container, with the help of a spanner we got to sign the log. TFTC

#1877 Fifth of twelve finds with Rieka driving to Port Campbell on Day 7 of our road trip. Had some trouble opening the container. Eventually with the help of a spanner we got to sign the log. This was a tough get. TFTC

Found it after lunch at the beach! tftc

Tftc

Today we arrived in Warrnambool with 45 degrees. In the evening, 4 hours later it was 20 degrees, so good weather for a quick cache. This was an easy find, but it took some time to open it. Thanks for the cache.

Had to wait and until the right moment to get it, TFTC!

Gefunden
But no ️

"We spent a few days in Warrnambool and found some Caches. This was one of the Caches we found. Than yo very much !

It was very windy today !

Nice little cache.
Thank you

TFTF!

This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 10337.

A bit of a wander down the beach to this one today and while I was signing the log a bloke walking his staffy wanted to kill me!

Thanks tackle_head for the cache.

Quick find at sunset then bolted back to the Sound and Light show. Tftc.
