Unfortunately, as there has not been a response to the last request/s to attend to this cache, or provide regular updates, the cache is being de-listed on the basis that it has been abandoned by the Cache Owner.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained here: [**Unarchive a geocache**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56). If there are components or remnants of the cache, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Georubbish.

If you wish to contact me regarding this cache, 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) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) 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.

Found it even with daddy backys getting eaten by ants

The lid of this container is broken and contents are exposed to the elements, needs urgent replacement

Easy find but more than wet. Soaking. Thanx anyway.

On our way to Melbourne, stopped to find this cache. Container filled with water so could not sign the log. Tipped out the water and replaced the cache. TFTC

A necessary trip to Albury today saw us chasing a few caches on the way. Most we have passed previously, today was the day to turn them into smiles. Freezing morning, even sleet as we left home.

Yep, it is definitely damaged, but considering the rain of the past few days, the contents not wet. We are not in our normal geomobile today, otherwise could have replaced the container. Thanks Gnaracrew.

(No Travel Bugs home today, but our family of travelling bugs did visit.)

Cache container is damaged (U.V. has made it brittle and destroyed the lid). Contents were dry today but won't be (again) after any rain. Perhaps a little bit of TLC would be welcome.

Nice views looking back down the valley towards Mt Beauty area. As a few previous cachers have noted the cache container is looking worse for wear and no longer suitable as a TB hotel so I'll raise a maintenance request but as the owner hasn't been active since 20`12 it's unlikely this will be replaced in time soon unless someone (local) takes over ownership. Any takers?

Regardless, TFTC

Yes, lovely views so enjoyed picking this one up. Wetjala has posted a maintenance on this one so I won't bother but thankfully it was dry today.

2nd find for the morning with Mrs Stevo. Re-hid the damaged container better than we found it and managed to avoid stepping in the fresh cow on the way back to the car. Tftc and the great views across to the snow capped mountains.

A day spent caching with wackyweedos. This was our second find for the day. Although there was a car in the rest area enjoying morning tea, we were able to make the find undetected..

Easy find, container lid is cracked so had to place container upside down

Visited here today and dropped of cptracker's Caching Dragon GeoTag to meander around some more. To make more adventures in southern Australia, happy wondering. I also picked up 7 Deadley Ducks Pride, to help it move on more of its adventure.

This TB Hotel needs ATTENTION the log has been very wet, and the CONTAINER is broken and falling is apart. It does need your help sooner better than later.

Tftc droped a travel bug and moving one on

Thanks for the cache

Damn, both McLookers and ourselves had our Trackables in the other car not the one we were all sharing as we cruised around the back roads caching.
Thanks Gnarcrew for the TB Hotel anyway, hopefully it will be housing some TB's soon.

No TB's today. I wish I had have brought one along to place. Thanks Gnarcrew.

A quick pull off the road, into a nice shady spot (it’s hot today) and a cache hunt began. One of us found it, probably a Triton, but there were no trackables to be found. We soon signed the log and replaced as we found it. TFTC Gnarcrew

A medium but sad looking cache.
No TBs to be seen.
Very easy to find with great parking.
A great view up the valley.

TFTC

We don't know what's wrong with people who need to use a whole page per log!

Accompanied with Everlasting and Pwala

Beautiful views TFTC

Easy find
Nice pull off close to gz
Cache all good
Tftc

Travelling around Australia, today was moving day.

We took the back roads to Huon from Porepunkah which brought us right by your cache. Some great views today.

This cache had recent logs from muggles which we have removed. TB was still in there, albeit a very large one we decided to grab it to keep it safe.

TFTS Gnarcrew

Dropped off "making the grade". Cache was lying in full view so covered it up.

Found it

Today was day 4 of our trip heading south to the great southern parts of our country, being Victoria and Tasmania. This was not a difficult cache to find even though some muggles were parked in the nearby rest stop. The cache was replaced as found and then it was off in the geo mobile to the next cache on the list. TFTC.

Out for a little drive and decided to find a few caches.
TFTC

Found on leisurely drive back from a work trip TFTC

Great day to pick up a few caches. TFTC

No trackables - not a lot of snow on the mountains left tftc

pelusa found it.
TNLNSL
TFTC, pelusa

Boogoose on fire. Found enroute to falls creek for a ski. Tftc. Great views. Tpb.

Yeh. First success after two fails yesterday

Knew this was in bad condition, replaced with a new large container , new logbook and snap lock bag . Old log is still in container as well as the swaps

Quick park and grab. The container doesn't seal and the log is very wet. Tftc.

Log is very wet, didn't have time to dry out with Indianagleeson and red leader Fox 2TFTC

TFTC!
Found this with Shellumbus and RedLeader&Fox2.

Can't seal and log is wet.

New container and log needed

Cache needs some love, everything is very wet

On the way home for a long weekend caching around albury and Beechworth district.
Found today with Megs_q
Need a new container and log
Thanks Gnarcrew

#1657 - Nice easy find but the cache was waterlogged. Either needs to be left upside down or replaced with a modern waterproof container. Nice day for riding back to Mount Beauty on our AroundOz cycle challenge. tftc. We had morning tea here and enjoyed the view and weather. Nice day for riding back to Mount Beauty on our AroundOz cycle challenge. tftc. Left Santa Claus torch and his golf ball.

Log wet

Log book wet.

Found it , all wet inside as container is breaking

Quick find, on a quiet afternoon.TFTC

Sadly we don't have any tbs to add to the cache. Nice idea. Tftc.

[:(!] When you have nothing to do, what better way of filling in the day is to going caching, and this was one of them, parked the geoKa as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was located and in a matter of minutes it was in hand.

I like it

Another one of the list

Find #1229 logged at GZ at 11:21, will update shortly.... T4TC Gnarcrew!

Drove from the top of Mt Hotham to Thredbo. Along the way, kept my eyes peeled on my TomTom. When a likely find began to scroll down the screen, the brakes were engaged! When I turned into this one, a tradee's ute was parked nearby. But the occupant was fast asleep (I hope). I proceeded to find the box and escape without being noticed.

Last find for the day

Parked in the rest stop and walked up to GZ. I walked right past the cache as it was exposed and right out in the open - luckily I had read out the description to WW as we drove up and he saw it straight away. Don't know if it was muggles or animals, as the cache itself was intact and still had the log and swaps inside it, but it was a long way from GZ.

We signed the log, which is a bit damp and replaced the cache where we think it should be and used the good old GeoBark to hide it properly. The Owner might like to have a quick check on this one though.

Thanks for the Cache - No TBs in the Hotel today - TNLN SL

No TBs to be found but geokids left a few goodies

TFTC

went there again on the way home and found the travel bug. i left another car

Stopped for a cuppa after leaving Corryong and found this one while the kettle boiled. Took TB for a trip to mega event in Murray Bridge. Tftc

Hubby guessed where we would be able to park for me to go hunting for this the 3rd today. Hint was no help and I took some time as it actually hindered me as I placed too much importance on it. However I eventually found cache and decided to swap my trackable for Crazy Cow A great spot for a cuppa at the right time of day - others have spent the night here by the looks of things. SL TFTC

Found while out caching with mum on a brilliantly sunny day on the long weekend. Sorry for the generic post doing quite a few today!

TFTC

Out for a day of caching in the hills around Tallangatta with Debs22. Hopefully this will be one of many and so the need for a generic post. Many thanks for taking us into this beautiful countryside. TFTC

Easy find! GPS is off a bit. You do NOT have to go over the fence. TFTC

What a lovely spot for TBs to hang out! Found this today, quite close to home. Took Shoe Fits TB, left Crazy Cow TB. Seems to have been moved slightly, now in the tree, replaced where I found it. TFTC

# 5573. Out with Robmc this afternoon trying to get a last few before the end of the year. The rain had stopped and the afternoon was now very pleasant.

The cache was sitting oh so obviously in its spot with no cover at all. Took a duck TB and left two TBs, A bulldog TB and a Shoe TB to rest up before continuing their travels. More great views around here. TFTC

Nice easy find on my way to mt beauty. TNLN seemed a bit damp inside.
Tftc

Awesome Cache

We have found similar TB's like this one. They have nothing to do with Groundspeak just making use of GC caches. Left it in cache. Not a family member of this Duck TFTC

Hotel vacant so left TB Duck from some strange site that is caching in on Geocaches.TFTC

Found on ANZAC Day. We didn't have a trackable to leave. A roo has decided that the ground very close to the cache makes a nice toilet so we had to watch out step. Thanks for the hide.

No log on cache, cache also quite damp. Took TB, Thanks

Nice spot but wet log Tftc

Jess’s Rambling Caching Weekend
79 – Finds
15 – DNF’s

The fourth day for a 5 day caching trip over the long weekend.

TFTC

Took – Nothing

Left – Nothing

One of many caches throughout of Easter Long Weekend trip up the Kiewa Valley and the Victorian High Country.

All Were Great Caches, Thanks to all for giving us a reason to travel and taking us to some unique places up in the amazing Victorian high country.

I would recomend to anyone and everyone to travel and let the caches guide you thoughout the mountains.

At time of Caching I Was Know As "adrian.robinson" / "ar", Due To Facebook Automatic Naming and now known as "VicMap", Much shorter and easier to write.

Found with S.Piddy, roverman88, ashleigh.green, Jesstu666 and team purple pen.

Hard find and prickly.
Good hide though

Very nice views from GZ on a sunny afternoon
What a great spot to stop for a break !!
A short walk up the hill found me the well hidden cache [^]

Found-doesn't seem to be a log behind the tree anymore, just the tree but found with ease.

Nice quick find with family. Great spot but lots of fly's. TFTC

I use to stop at this spot on my way through a few years ago as it had the only reception on vodafone for quite a few miles. Today we located the cache and head on our way.
TFTC

Took travel bug for this one and will send it on its way real soon.

Nice lookout. Cache a little bit wet.

Found on a beautiful sunny spring day. TNLN

A nice quick find on the way home after a skiing trip to Falls Creek. Some water in the container, might need checking on.

Found it. TFTC - Lendog

Agree with Fouryaks, still was water in there.

Cache owner may want to check this as the inside of cache was wet. Log book was okay and still dry but everything else was wet.

Young yak nearly stepped into goodness only knows what poo. Could have been wombat as we had seen a dead wombat on the road nearby today. Dropped off travel bug. No other trackables in cache. Cache may need looking at as it was wet inside.

Although we had written that we had dropped off the Travelling Beetle bug we forgot to log it as 'dropped'. Our sincerest apologies.

Easy find no. 3 for the day. It was a little exposed when I got there so I hid it a little better when I left. Great view of the valley from here!

Easy find #399. Sorry but I took the only TB that was there as it was getting rusty sitting in the water at the bottom of the container..... TFTC
