This one has unfortunately been tampered with and is gone. Due to its location unfortunately archiving will be the best option.

this might help

Apologies for not checking sooner - we're currently not living near this cache. I'll endeavour to check it out this week but based on recent logs it has definitely gone missing. I'll update within the week but fear it may have to be archived.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED**###
This cache is carrying one or more logs which suggest some attention by the cache owner is needed.

The guidelines advise that the CO should make occasional visits to check on the cache as well as promptly address any logs that indicate that the cache requires some attention. If you can not attend to the issue promptly, then you need to Disable the cache - I have disabled it this time.

Please respond to this situation (or indicated your intentions including a date) by **15th August**, otherwise it will be necessary to withdraw the cache from the Active listing.

**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.

According to other cacher's at today's event I was looking in the right place but a dnf today
I think its missing

Might need checking I think its missing

Went searching high and low but could not find any trace

Found its home but this cache was not in

Quick look revealed the very obvious and cleaver hide, but it was empty.... Time for some owner maintenance.

Couldn't find it Very certain that we found its hiding spot but it was empty. Have taken photo if needed.

Found a spot that seemed perfect but no luck finding the cache. Felt like it was missing rather than us not finding it (which does happen too!)

Too clever for us today.

Finally found it with a little help from fellow cacher. The container was empty but thankfully I had supplies in the car so a quick jog back to car and back again it was restored again and threw in some goodies as well. Tyftc

quick find from yesterday on our bike ride, cool hiding spot!

Great hide love the artwork.
Took nothing.

Quick find on our way back to Adelaide,TFTC

Lived in Stratford my whole life and hadn't walked down there before. Cache.

Kind of obvious, kind of not TFTC

Second time attempting this cache... found it this go round. Looking for that which is out of place certainly helped... a clever find!

Found it with Vorockboh and Grandsons, great walk, very hidey place!

Enjoyed the walk and nice little hidding Spot. Took the travel Bug and will sent him on a journey!!

Found it
Clever hiding spot

Found it 13th june 2016. Replaced ziplock bag. Left
sticker in a bottle. Nearly caught by muggles. Had to hide with cache open until they moved on. 4 yr old loved the ninja turtles toy we swapped.

Found trackable , nice location

On my round-a-bout journey of the Stratford Arts trail cache, I came upon this nice little traditional, so I happily made a find while I was here. Having approached from the usual side, I had to do some physical maneuvering, hindered by my fancy work shoes, but made it in the end. I spotted an anomaly, investigated further and found something that moved!! Push push push.....nothing. Then I returned to the initial anomaly, pushed and absolutely no give.....ah it's much simpler. Excellent! I enjoyed this hide, well done. A favourite from me for the day. TFTC Elmer_Stratty and two little TBs dropped off that have travelled from Heyfield with me.

I didn't come in from the 'Main Entrance' for this cache @ S37º 58.498' E147º 5.176' (or thereabouts), but rather the back-country route of a goat track. I only found the other entry later.
Got to the board walk, and viewing platform, and headed to the wrong spot, but soon came back when there was nothing there.
Found @ 1215, GAFF1
Able to make the find within 4m of GZ. Cache outside WET, but contents dry.
Left: a Correct Site Marker - surgical marking pen
Took some photos (including a selfie) of the metal artwork.

After setting up the geovan at the caravan park we headed off to locate the nearby caches and this was one of them. An interesting area. TFTC

Coming from the UK near to Stratford upon Avon (Shakespeare's birthplace), and having cruised the River Avon in our home- the narrow boat Slow Gin - we just had to stop and grab a cache here.
Along with our companion Gogo the Australian Cub Scout bear, who sends stories of his adventures travelling around Australia to the grandchildren back home, we walked along the trail from the park to this one.
Mrs SG soon spotted a likely hiding place and the deed was done.
We like to award FV points where some effort has gone into the hide. Well done TFTC

Found it!!! Great hiding spot...

Harrotribe gets another. Great day in Stratford.

Found it today without too much drama

TFTC

Passing by on our way to Lakes Entrance and picking the eyes out of caches with higher D/T ratings.
Hubble, Bubble Toil and Trouble found the cache at the double. Good spot and appropriate place for male membsec who spent his early life very near to the real Stratford upon Avon and has confirmed ancestry to Anne Hathaway.

Great hide

Found with Mansgirl on a caching couple of days. Thanks.

Yay neat little hide - lovely area - interesting tflc

Nice hide. Will show all of our friends this one.

Went for a drive with the family today to get out of the house and found ourselves in the lovely Stratford walking along the river. Originally we thought we could pick up several caches this morning but with the toddler insisting on walking and 700m taking 30mins to tackle this was the only lucky pick up! Very nifty hiding spot, and well maintained. Took a plastic starfish to pacify the child but left nothing, sorry thanks for the great cache and the excuse for a wander on this lovely day

Very good hiding spot. Found after a fun Father's Day lunch at the park.

A pleasant stroll down to the river viewing platform. Not too sure about the D4 rating as too easy.. thanks..!!

Nice hide tftc

Nice one! Beautiful day for it too! We are going to take Boomerang a little closer to home (YMF16Y)

Tricky little hide. Thanks so much for bringing us here. We have finally found somewhere to drop off Boomerang trackable. We've left him there with a few friends to keep him company until someone can send him in his way home.

We tried to take the back way in here, but quickly realised that was stupid. Came back in from the front and made the quick find. An interesting river, thanks for the views.

Found on our "Making Memories" Tour of Mainland Australia.

Today we explored Stratford and surrounding areas using geocaching as our guide.

Great spot and hide. Made a quick find TFTC

After staying overnight at the Maffra golf club grounds with the caravan we made an enthusiastic start to get as many caches as we could in the surrounding area. This was one of the caches we targetted and were able to find in conjunction with caching friends LazzaL. Fav point alloc. Thanks to Elmer_Stratty.

In Stratford with friends Liz & Bruce trying to get as many done today as possible and this was one of the excellent caches of the day. Thanks to Elmer_Stratty

That was an awesome hide. Great times looking and nearly missed it. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work

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

Nice walk and very nice hide. TFTC.
Picked up travel bug.

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 enjoyed the stroll down to GZ, checking out the alpacas, goats and sheep whilst listening to muggle kids exploring their building under construction next door. Once we got to GZ had a quick look and realised we needed to be at a different level. Once there the quick find was made of a well hidden cache. Dropped TB

Thanks for the cache Elmer Stratty!!!

And what a view! It was amazing lived the witches tfth

Found this one in February but forgot to log it. Logging it today and placing Travel bug. Great place for a cache, had about 5 kids looking for this one.
