Unfortunately, I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore as advised previously, the cache is being de-listed (Archived) to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

The [**Geocache Maintenance guideline**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains what needs to happen with a Disable cache.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.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

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

###**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)

It does not appear from logs that the CO has visited this cache recently, so it is being Disabled to remove it from search lists.

**There needs to be a response to this situation (or intentions indicated) 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.

We left Hay this morning.Before leaving town we attempted a couple of caches. Pulled in here but after a good search was nit to be found. As there have been many DNFs in the recent past, it is time for a maintenance check

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Went for a stroll among the gum trees for this one however not find
Thanks anyway

GZ brought us to a very likely location. We gave this one a really good search, then widened our search to over 20 metres, but still could not come up with the goods.

Dnf and I wonder if it's been muggelated? Thanks for bringing me to this magnificent place.

We have a small team travelling to The Yorke Peninsula in South Australia from Canberra. It was decided by the group before we left that our team name would be DTY, although I act like the boss, I rarely am and so the initials actually stand for - dty73, Tankengine & Youban.

Went to GZ had a good look around, but found nothing. There was a great place for a cache, but alas we found nothing in there. Thanks anyway, maybe we’ll try again on the way home.

Great spot. Interesting history. It brought us in for a lunch stop TFTC TNLN.

Lovely spot. Nice find

Found this cache today as part of our day trip to Hay. Having never been here before there was plenty to look at and some caches to do. This was our first. A nice drive in a bush reserve soon had us at GZ for a quick find.

Quick find

Found on our way across to central NSW for the week. Ended up staying in Hay for the night. Thanks for the cache Gum-Ako and Nyangay Raiders!

Found while out and about from our nearby campsite. A nice little walk and we had it in hand. Nice accurate coords and cache in good order. Alas no TB. . Tftc

Found while camping at Hay for a couple of days. The town has really gone out of its way to make visitors welcome. Great stay made even more interesting with these caches. Thanks.

Thanks

It was my first Geocach I ever found

Although there was bush kinder on we found it pretty quickly

Hi there Gum-Ako.

We found your cache **"GC"** today. (This makes our find count 19329).

We left Echuca and headed towards Hay today. We didn't really have a plan, but the aim of the day was to travel along a road we haven't been on since we became full time grey nomads. (We can now draw another line on our map).

We found 7 caches today (DNF'd 1) & thoroughly enjoyed our cache raid. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels. Thanks also for not placing an eclipse tin or a 200ml Sistema here. It made us feel really good to find this "special" cache here.

***Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book is in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.
**Dropped Trackable:** "Ida IC - Racer".

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

We're on our way home from Adelaide after a 3 week road trip that has taken us to Brisbane (for a family function, Broken Hill, Adelaide (to see our daughter) and points in between. Today, we're going from Mildura to Griffith, stopping along the way to pick up a cache in each local government area we pass through to help me qualify for a challenge I'm currently pursuing.

I hadn't picked this as my Hay find but when the Plan A forHay didn't work out, we diverted off the highway and came here. Turned out to be a nice place to have lunch by the river, and a smiley to boot ... what more could one ask for. Thanks Gum-Ako!

Quick find. Coordinates spot on. TNLN TFTC.

GPS lead us around the bush. Eventually found.

We stayed at Hay for a few days and went out to grab the caches in the area while we were here. TFTC

Found with Csaba! and SupaOrange before I had a caching name. A very late log. Turtle out.

Found with Dad aka Csaba! before I had my own caching name. Tra La Laaaa

Great spot on our way through. Thanks

Pretty place for a good hide tftc nice trees for great photos

14:45 took far longer than expected due to atrocious gps accuracy. Cache needs a cleanout, it's full of old logsheets. Took keyring, left necklace and unactivated trackable.

For future seekers - hide location is visible from the road during the day.

Wonderful park greasy place to stop

Found It!
A quick find here while heading east. Nice little spot for a cache!
TFTC

Day 2 of our Epic Roadtrip to the OzMuster Mega....a beautiful little park and a quick find. TFTC

Sat up swag in free camp area by the river and waited as 38 is a bit much for me today. The sun went down behind clouds before walking to the cache with The X-Trailers. The river was tempting me to enter but too tired after little sleep last night TFTC

Easy find thank you while staying in Hay overnight on our way from Adelaide to the Gold Coast

A quick find on a beautiful day here in Hay on the Murrumbidgee

A nice quiet walk in the bush - the park nearby was our regular stop on trips from Mildura. At GZ signal a bit dodgy but in the obvious spot / TFTC- just realised I have bum called about 25 people on my mobile on the walk here

On a riding holiday from Wollongong so hot here to day but loved the river walk TFTC left a butterfly

A lovely spot for getting fit. Quick find. TFTC

We are staying in Hay for a night and took the opportunity to grab this cache whilst we are here.

Cache was a nice quick find in a lovely location.

Thank you for placing this cache here for our enjoyment.

Found it nice little walk in bush

Once at gz the find was easy The walk in and out on a warm day needs a drink or 2. Tyfc

Great find. Thnx for that. Contents a bit damp. Lovely walk along the river as well.

Gone bush but found

Found it

We had a nice walk and met some new faces. Quick stop and grab, suitable for kids. Tfth

Nicely hidden. Maybe not a great hide to find mid summer though

Heading home from our trip to SA and then Murray-Sunset NP. Camping nr the river on the other side of the bridge, we walked along the river path. A quick find. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC

Heading towards Hay, a little detour for this cache today. TFTC

Beautiful area. Tftc

A nice little hide! Gee , the river is very low!! Thank you for placing! : )

Tftc. Log is quite damp. Tnln.

Txs

Thanks for an easy find. Enjoyed the story. Log very wet but we managed to sign and replaced the cache

I've driven past this one a few times over my geocaching career and with some downtime today between a wedding service and the reception, it was time to make my find. Spotted a number of energetic people (to the lady that said "hi are you geocaching", well spotted!) and loved the area, I can't believe how low the river is at the moment. Stopped to take some photos with some shoes that are visiting from London via Canada before heading on again. The logbook is very damp so the log is only signed with SBMT.

Traveling through Hay and stopped for this cache - great riverside walk around the sculpture walk as well - thanks Hay for making such a lovely walk.
Left a lucky Chinese Feng Shui coin. TFTC. 2BluFish

Quick find on my way home after doing yet more work in Western New South Wales. TFTC

Happy to find this cache - a lovely tribute to a friend. In our lives we all are lucky to have special friends and they enhance our lives so much! Tftc.

Passing through from Mudgee to Adelaide. Nice find

# 1621 - On the road with Triciac2 from Qld to SA we try to find a cache (or two [;0]) at every stop.

I liked our morning walk near the river, and I also liked the story behind this cache.

It's getting a bit nippy in the early hours of the morning, so back to our camp and breakfast with damper hot from the fire.

TFTC Gum-Ako et al

With Dutchie50 on way from Qld to SA.
Lovely camp ground.
Our first cold morning. We will have to get used to it. Tftc

On our way to Balranald to surprise a friend for her 60th with crazeecat.

A quick find

On our way to Balranald to surprise a friend for her 60th. Decided to do a bit of cacheing . TFTC 5 May 2017

How funny, this is Seeymshells first camp spot enroute to Alice Springs and its our last camp spot.

TFTC

I have about 50 caches to log from the trip home.

Found with contactpete, ris768 and geodogs Muggles and Oreo on the way home from the Red Centre experience. TFTC

All ok TFTC

A quick lunch stop plus a cache find. What more can you ask for? Tftc

A good find as part of our bike ride after spending a night at Sandy Beach.

TFTC
On my way to the Red Centre Experience, stopping in Hay on my first night, I couldn't not get this one.
Cheers
Seemyshell

On our way to the Red Centre experience and had to gtab this one following Aries44 and follwed by seemyshell.

Nice spot near this great river.

TFTC

Transitting through Hay on the way to Alice Springs we did a couple of caches.
We meandered through the track with the van on the back. I then headed o foot towards GZ. A little bit of wandering brought me to the hide. Nice hide. Visited a TB. TFTC Gum-Ako.

6th day, found with helpers by skyejam & sevabo TFTC cache was stuck in, ants built home, almost covered lid I managed to take it off with branch!!

Good hide. TFTC

Please excuse this generic log. I am following the 2017 Australian Solo Speedway Championship meetings that are being held in Adelaide, Mildura, Undera and Kurri Kurri, and grabbing some caches along the way.
I have done so many in recent days that I cannot do them individually. Be assured that I enjoyed and appreciated your cache, and I am grateful that you have taken the time to hide and maintain the cache.

My grandad and I found this cache while on our way to Adelaide - I was on my learners driving all the way from Canberra to Port Lincoln! A great road trip to improve my driving skills and experience.

This was our first find for the trip. We explored the riverside before staying the night in Hay. Beautiful bushland surrounding the river with a few blokes going for a swim nearby. A quick find, TFTC!

Nice easy cache pitty the place was shut it looks like it would be great

2 Jan. 2017, 8:56 pm TFTC found by Singum

Nice peaceful spot for a geo cache, a little bit damp but nothing to worry about. Than you for bringing us here

Fun find for introducing my brother and cousin to the world of geocaching!

Staying in a motor inn nearby nice easy cache TFTC

Marycos Wow my first one found

Reasonably easy to find but got blood stained legs from the mossies. Found it on my birthday. Quite poignant.

Water down now so a dry foot find.
TFTC Gum-ako

Headed to get this one in full cover-up. Hat with mozzie net as the mozzies are bad at the moment after the high waters. Found OK, all well... TFTC

A did not attempt rather than a DNF as it was nearly 300m away from the levee bank and looks like it would be underwater. May need maintenance in the future. Nice park though.

We stopped off at Hay for a break while travelling West, and discovered that I still had a cache to find here. The road into the park was closed due to the recent rains, and as I walked around in some extremely slippery mud, I decided that was a good thing.

Sounds like GC was a top bloke, we need more of those.

TNLN - Thanks Gum-Ako, and to Nyangay Raiders for maintaining!

Top Bloke!!
Unfortunately this is going to be one of 'those logs' and I am sorry in advance for the lame generic log, my excuse is we are on the road for 6 weeks, so with limited time and Internet I have decided a generic log is best ATM.
Where are we going in the 6 weeks we are away? Everywhere! Leaving from Gippsland in Victoria The main aim is The Top end, Cape York then back down to the Dinosaur triangle then eventually making our way home.
Thank you for supplying us with a cache to do along the way.
This was a great location.
TFTC SL TNLN TBV

Passing through town and stopped for a rest in this reserve. What a great way to remember GC and his community spirit. Thanks for maintaining this cache Gum-Ako a perfect reason to break our trip.

I have been on a two week trip to southwest New South Wales and had time to seek a number of caches along the way. This cache was a straightforward find. The sculptures at Bushy Bend are worth inspecting. Thank you Gum-Ako for the cache.

Tftc

Nice easy find whilst staying at the nearby caravan park during a 2 day stoop over on Hay. TFTC

Nice break after 6hrs driving!!

On a passing visit to Hay, we couldn't resist going for a walk by the river. The cache was a quick diversion from our travels. TFTC

found while taking a rest and walk some cramps out of legs, nice to find the cache where the coordinates put me, Thanks for the hide, Gum-Ako

Easy find.beautiful day .great walk.

Found our first one . Kids were very excited after navigating through the boggy condition.

Found by Mary & David at 0825. A wonderful tribute to a great country character. Our thanks to Gum-Ako.
