Unfortunately there does not seem to be any evidence that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. It would appear the owner of this cache listing is no longer interested in the cache and the cache has been abandoned.

As such the cache is being de-listed (Archived). If there are components or remnants of the cache, please recover them as 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**###

----------

Hi there Cache Owner,

This cache has come to my notice as there is a 'Needs Maintenance' log that that indicates there is some sort of issue with the placement and it needs your attention please.

Check out the Guidelines here: [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable the cache**](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.

I believe I found where it originally was kept but unfortunately it is no longer there.

Owner said Muggle May have took it

Could not find this one.

Searched high and low for 2 hours. No sign of a cache

Looked for 15min cnf

This is our second visit to this cache and again no luck. With 3 other DNF"s we think its time the CO had a look

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Spent some time looking for this one. New fencing, the previous 3 DNF’s and the considerable time since it was last found, believe a muggle may Have stumbled upon this one.

My gps just kept going haywire I just could not find

Suitman and RePete DNF after a very good, thorough search

We had a good search here but we got interrupted by the local so we aborted our mission before completion.

Touring the Dunnolly area using geo-caching as a tour guide..TFTC

TFTC. After a big day in Ballarat yesterday we opted to find some of the close by caches. A lovely morning for a drive. Quick find

Clever hide. A quick find. Signed and replaced. TFTC

Out for a drive, a picnic & a couple of 'caches. Thanks

First film canister I've seen in a while.

Harrison to the rescue again, I was looking for something bigger. Tftc

Found it

Another good find while exploring around the area. SL TFTC

Find number 5559 at 6:23:57 pm
Out for a bit of a geocaching session after work in (somewhat) central Victoria, managed to get a dozen caches before eventually being carried away, geovehicle included, by monster mozzies. It felt like they were attaching the car like a mob of Orks.
Can't believe how many mozzies there are...
**Thanks for placing this cache tigersden**

A quick and easy find as we cache our way through the area today. Nothing left now but a big mullock heap. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Love taking these back roads. You never know where you're going to end up! TFTC

Found it but we had no pen

Gps lead me astray

So much digging on one side of the road, sheep on the other side. Interesting.
Thanks, cache in a good condition.

Nice Hill

tftc

Found nice and easy. Kids are loving the drive round the country side with so many easy finds. TFTC

Lots of smoke around so appropriate name. Thanks Tigersden.

Found with JKMUGGLE. Tftc.

Found with meekmink and geoson. I particularly liked this mine but wasn't able to get a clear photo of it. Thanks again for bringing us to this area tigersden

Find#127

Another mine, we brought our gold detector if that helps lol

In the area today with GemmaSistema and master 5 doing a few drive by caches. This was my first caching visit to this great area. It was great to see all the old gold mines and building ruins. Thanks for the cache tigersden this one was found in good order.

A random Wednesday off work saw me heading over to Maryborough and surrounds for some caching with my 5 year old geokid and we managed to convince wozzle68 to come for the day too. We decided on some park and grabs along the country roads here today as it was a little hot. A quick grab here. Again as we pulled up another car drove past. He stopped to check we were OK. Just a country drive I said and the kid needs a wee! Lol. He was soon gone and cache was found and signed - many thanks

Thanks

Found, is in good condition and dry. Family day out.

Dry canister.. happy hunting

A short detour from the 2015 GVBR had me at another location associated with the mining history of the area.

Based on the gc.com sizing guide this is a micro cache not a small cache. I don't know about you but my searching process is influenced by the advised size of the cache.

Thanks for the cache tigersden.

Great day for catching

Found with Explorer Nan. What a stunning mullock heap this one is!! Log is a bit damp in the cache, but we were able to sign it okay. TFTC Tigersden.

So much mullock!

Another nice easy one for the kids this time found by Brylee. Tftc tigersden

It has taken me 3 years to claim my 300th cache but I'm keen to do a lot more geocaching in the future. Loving it! TFTC!

Travelling around Australia with our Cat.

Staying in Dunolly we decided to head out today and explore the local area using Geocaching.

Wow so much history in this region and so many gold digging holes!

Thanks for placing your cache to assist with our touring of the area, and feeding our geoaddiction. tigersden

Thought we might grab a camera and FILM this mine. It must have a big mine in its day. TFTC.

Thanks!

Leaving the area after a fabulous birthday weekend, had to collar some caches and this was one of them. Thank you for bringing us to this very historical area, easily found with Bentley TB

Great quick cache.

Suscoe's 21st find of 34 for today.
The weather has improved since yesterday and while there was some cloud, the sun was often shining as we drove the road to Dunolly and beyond.
We were enjoying the drive around this area.
Another nice find and an interesting view across the way.
Thanks to tigersden for placing this cache here.

found it.
TFTC

Love exploring all these mines nice little hide but log book getting full.

I could see from the size of the heap of muck at the side of the road that this mine must have dug deep
There is a mini-mountain in the paddock near GZ

And of course, a little golden caching nugget there too [^]

TFTC and more bits of Dunolly mining history

Thanks again

Going well this year on film

Found!

Another clever spot! Thank you

Catching up on logs... Found with becca85 & chan02 on a caching afternoon trip to Dunolly. TFTC

I am well behind on logging caches, attempting to catch up.
Apologies to CO's for not logging specifics about their cache.
We certainly appreciate all the effort cachers go to hide and maintain their caches.

Found. Small. Tftc

Nice little find. Beautiful day today.

After driving around for about an hour I checked the coordinates and found that they were incorrect, so reentered them and still had no luck. The only possibilty we didn't try was through a closed gate that said "No Admittance Private Property".

Nice quick find on this beautiful afternoon. Thanks

Nice easy find thanks

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

Took a bit of finding until I found it
Then it was easy
Signed and replaced it
Container is high n fry but the log is getting a bit full
TFTC

Itsy bitsy one

My sister was looking straight at it and couldn't find it

Found the cache, interesting to see these old sights TFTC

What better way to spend a Sunday than caching? I decided that on this fine, sunny day I would have a crack at some of the caches around the Dunolly region.

Another one of the many pieces of the gold mining history of this fascinating region. An easy find, TFTC

Found on the way home from the Wedderburn 2013 event with Fergzter. A nice quick park and grab. TFTC.

Found on the way home from the Wedderburn event with LionJRB. Cache was soon found, signed and returned. TFTC Tigersden.

Great spot, pity about the locked gate, we wanted to explore but the sign said otherwise. Thanks tigersden

Quick find enjoying the day hunting TFTC

No 5 of 21 for the day. A nice quick find that had us quickly on our way after log was signed! TFTC

Nice quick find ....impressive old mines for sure

A stinking hot day so figured a day in the car chasing caches was the way to go.
Two stubbies, airconditioning, an in-dash GPS and we are away.
I is always interesting looking at these old mine sites, being a gold prospector, I have seen a few.
Thanks for leading us to this one.TNLNSC.

Found on our caravanning and caching tour of the area. TFTC

Found it together with omaster and membsec on a geocaching trip to Dunolly. Found quickly and easily. TFTC

It was time for an afternoon of caching so off lenicka.second, membsec and I headed up towards Dunolly to do the caches. We found a lovely set of caches and managed to do all the planned in the time we had set. TFTC

A pleasant trip this afternoon to pick up Dunolly caches with lenicja.second and omaster. A cool afternoon and one of many quick finds.
TFTC

I've had fun hunting for and finding this cache, It never ceases to amaze me how the CO in the first instance comes up with the idea for placing a cache at this location. After signing the log and then replacing the cache, another find becons me. Thanks tigersden for the cache.

Found on a day trip with ST37E from Ballarat to Maryborough and surrounds, TFTC!

Found on a Saturday geocaching roadtrip to Maryborough & surrounds in the cold drizzle

good hide, 1 of many today, TFTC

found temp cache and signed it this is the only one that was not high and dry that we found today

Found the replacement film canister, had a quick look in the pile of thick logs at first.

Found on our Vic & SA adventure trek on a perfect day for a bush caching run. A good look around & just all the others it appeared to be missing. I had a spare container & log sheets so it has been replaced temporarily until the owner can return to replace it with a more permanent one. I hope that is OK tigersden. TNLNSL TFTC,
Roostaman.
