Luxeyes 18th Birthday Brown Hill, Victoria, Australia
By BroNick and Luxeyes on 23-Jan-11. Waypoint GC2MYC9

I cannot see any information that suggests to me that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement - one or more of the following applies:

- Cache Owner unable to maintain cache
- No response from the cache owner.
- No cache to find or log to sign.
- It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.
- Cache has been abandoned by cache owner/cache in disrepair

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to also prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include GC number in cache name) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash.

Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

[u]MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?[/u]
[navy]This cache would appear to be in need of owner intervention, therefore I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Geocache maintenance is a cache owner responsibility. Your prompt attention to any log that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers, see here http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance
The guidelines advise; "if you can't check/fix it straight away then Disable it till you can." and here's how; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235

Please respond to this situation within 28 days to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to date, or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

And don't forget, once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404 and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 to get your cache up and running again.[/navy]

Brought some help along for this one, but sadly it was a DNF for me.

I'm pretty sure I found where it should be but it was nowhere to be found

Needs checking by the CO.

I reckon this is gone. Previous logs indicate it was an obvious hide, but as with the previous cachers, I couldn't find it anywhere.

After having an extremely hard look around the area, Cherad, muggle Pa, the kids and I weren't able to locate the cache. We are hoping that our desire not to look too suspicious to muggles enjoying the sunshine as much as we were and the gps jumping all over was the only reason this cache could not be found.
This area is certainly beautiful and a great place to visit, thanks for the cache

Out with Mi5sie on a lovely day, unfortunately we were unable to change this into a smile, geokids helped to search, but this one has eluded us for now, but we will return to try again, thanks for bringing us to this area, have never been here before,

A nice easy find today while in the area .
Thanks for the hide.

Out caching with 6hinemoa2 after todays events. Enjoyed the short walk in this great little area. Ballarat is so lucky to have so many walking tracks. Thanks for showing us this nice area BroNicKids

Thanks for the cache, decided to explore on our return trip from the grampians

Good hide, not ideal location in pitch black.

good hiding spot

Wow!

Sprung Trufette family "just having a picnic " as we approached;-)

A nice walk and a quick find in the dark after doing the nearby night cache.
tftc

Close by so a group decided to get this one.
It has been in my PQ list for so long so I was more than happy to get it. My GPS batteries died as we approached GZ so I relied on a friends phone. It was dark and we were searching in the slightly wrong spot until someone looked up and said that looks like good spot. Sure enough it was and all names were entered.
TFTC BroNicKids

Found it

Wonderful

Really easy and a beautiful walk!

First find on a beautiful day out with BJ. TN, left a pathtag. TFTC.

After finding a relatively close way to access the path, I set off along this lovely little winding track.
This is a great little location and the container was hidden in a nice logical spot, making for an all round fun experience.
Thanks to BroNick and Luxeyes for placing this cache.

Found with The 2 Wanderers on a caching day in Ballarat. Geocaching has done it again! Brought me to a beautiful place that I didn't know about. TFTC

Found today while out caching with Misschief18 around all the back streets we didn't know existed. We found our way into this one and had a leisurely walk into a nice little spot. A very popular walk way and very friendly people. No sign of a TB in cache
SL TNLN TFTC

Out for a spot of exploring this afternoon with my 5 year old geokid. We also picked up another 5 year old to show him how to go on adventures and find treasure! Easy find but no sign of TB. Thanks for the hide. Kids made some swaps

Very late logging. We had headed this way for a bit of R&R (=caching) and catch up with a friend.
Noticed the event very near our accommodation, and continued caching from there.

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

Today we explored Ballarat with whitewebbs using geocaching as our guide.

Many thanks to all cache owners for placing and maintaining caches for our enjoyment.

Today we cached with Tassie Trekkers around Ballarat on a lovely autumn day. A nice walking track. TFTC

Good spot to hide - Eddie395 second find

Tftc

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

A nice quick find early this morning. Co-ords were spot on. Lots of good swaps. Caching with Tomstache. Thanks for the hide.

Thanks for the cache. Cool swaps. Quick find after we took the long bumpy way to the cache.

TNLN. TFTC BroNicKids.

Our 400th geocache - very nice walking rack - signed log left penny - TFTC

Nice spot haven't been here before, the Geo mutt enjoyed all the new smells. Cache found OK? Will return and have a picnic when warmer. TFTH

Love this walk. Took TB. TFTC.

As we pulled into the car park near GZ, it was raining lightly, so we went for it. By the time we arrived at GZ it was raining heavily!!!!Ack! We signed the log, dropped a trackable and made a dash for the car. We were soaked by the time we got there.

Out caching with the Glanville Girls and geo mutt, getting a bit wet now, found the cache after a little search and signed the log.

Petite sortie d'après-midi aujourd'hui, il fait beau alors j'en profite
La balade continue avec cette petite cache pas de soucis je trouve vite aussi. j'aurai croisé beaucoup de lapin hihi
Merci

I found this geocache using the Geocaching Intro App. TFTC!

Love this area. TFTC

A very nice area for a cache, with the wet weather it reminds me of tassie

Our very first cache! It's been behind us all this time! The kids loved finding their very first one! Thanks heaps, The GeoPhans!

Found it while out walking the dog... Great spot. Thanks

Yippee.... Good fun on school holidays.... Thanks.

Great fun for kids. Having a ball. Thanks.

Done some maintenance and added a few extra collectables for the kids

Quick find while walking the dogs tftc

In Ballarat with Team Crackers to attend the Coffee Event and to pick up some of the local caches.
Thanks BroNickids for the hide,
Regards The Coffee's

After having a very enjoyable time at the Coffee and Caching event and having another great lunch at the Beechworth Bakery we headed off with The Coffee's to pick up some local cache before heading back home. We parked and headed off along the track to gz and although the sun was going down and the temperature was dropping rapidly it was still a peaceful little walk beside the creek. Once near gz we had a slight scramble for the last bit before we could add our names to the log.
Thanks once more for the cache.

I found it with ruben.wc sylvie hayley!wow
it was so cool I never thought I would find it
TFTC

Found with alol-rosa7 almost tripped on a rock on the way up.

Great hide.

Took travel bug.

Thanks!

Easy find with Paulette the converted muggle!

Dropped off a trackable but did not have time to log it before someone grabbed it. I must remember to be quicker next time.

Found with Jamie, Monique and Erin.

Beautiful spot, never been to this section before. TFTC

What a nice spot. Thanks for bringing us here! Found with geokids and emily63

Quick find cleaver hide

While approaching the cache, I encountered the same muggle that went past me at an earlier Yarowee River cache. If he was surprised to see me again he did not show it. TFTC

I navigated the geomobile as close as possible and set off on foot. A great little trail, I have never explored along here before, Thanks BroNicKids

Another great spot along the river.
TFTC BroNicKids

Although getting a bit tired enjoyed the walk to this one. TFTC

Good Cache. Thank you!

Nice quick find on a nice little walk. TFTC.

Getting up proved harder than coming down. Great veiw. Cache in good order

This was one of many of the caches we have found on our journey north as we follow in the footsteps of our ancestors as they made their way from Geelong to Yackandanda.
We will be walking the goldfields tracks and trails on a journey from Geelong to Yackandanda that we estimate will take us 7 years to complete.

Our journey continues...

TFTC

Lovely little walking track, this. We quite enjoyed our little stroll. Almost got interrupted by muggles, but speed signed the log and got it back before they came around the corner. Although I'm sure they got a fright by us emerging from the bush... ok that sounds dodgier that it really was. Thanks for the cache.

Our quest today was to do four caches to notch up 100, a nice way to start the day and a lovely stroll in the ballarat winter sun, lovely little waterfalls along the way.

Found TeamRav in the presence of Jase from 2Dudez. SLTNLN

Found by Jase with Team Rav. TNLN

Well what a nice spot here I was just about to get the cache when some muggle said morning!! After getting back into my skin I got the log and sign it with one eye on the track TFTC

Found this on a Saturday arvo caching run

TFTC

A nice quick find on a Saturday afternoon! TFTC

TFTC. Ridden past this one for years. Great day to take the geokids for a walk. Great spot.

Day 3 and final day of our Ballarat Smackdown weekend with DazRascal, Blacklegend, Quasar3671 & Trailrunning which seen us collecting a great range of caches over 3 days, and this was one of them.

Officially our last cache of our Ballarat Smackdown trip!
Took some seriously wrong tracks to get to this cache, and took a bit of backtracking before fidning the right spot!
Glad to have signed the log on this one.
Many thanks for the hide. TNLN SL Cheers!

One of 182 caches I personally found during our "Ballarat Smackdown" trip. The trip included teams Quasar3671, Trailrunning, Haveanez, Dazrascal and myself. Caches included around 30 mystery caches, a few earth caches, lots of trads and multis and both day and night caching. Some 4WD action was encountered as well, which was great. All puzzles within 60kms were solved.

I took three of my kids, Jasmine 7yo, James and Jemma 5yo twins, traveling from Tocumwal. The trip covered 3 days and two nights, staying in Ballarat. Quasar3671 took his two boys as did Haveanez. One of the best caching trips I have been on, and certainly lots and lots of finds, almost clearing out the main Ballarat area. Home base was the Miners Retreat motel, which was quite pleasant and quiet.

This was a find on our Sunday day run, which was only a half day run. Very nice river walk to GZ after some adventure on some bush tracks trying to get to this one. We had been a fair way away in an area coming in a very wrong direction from another cache. Had to retreat and travel a long way around before finding the obvious spot to enter this one. TFTC. Pic uploaded.

One of 184 cache finds during our "Ballarat Smackdown" weekend of caching on the 23rd to 25th. There were 13 of us including Blacklegend and three of his kids, Trailrunning, Haveanez and their two boys, Dazrascal and myself amd my two boys Tyler and Cooper. We'd spent a few weeks planning the trip, with every Ballarat Puzzle solved in the area, cache lists and road and route maps all ready to go. We stayed in the Miners Retreat Motel for the two nights and the accomodation and facilities were great. Our goal was simple - find as many caches as possible in the time we were here !

We found a great variety of caches and hides during the three days, which also involved a bit of walking and some 4WD fun as well in the state forests north of Ballarat. The weather was quite cold of the Friday and Saturday morning but eventually cleared to nice sunny weather Saturday arvo and Sunday. We all had a great time, especially the kids who did really well to keep up with the pace we were moving.

Our third day of caching and it was another big day ahead of us before splitting up early in the afternoon. With some four wheel driving, some essential caches to collect and getting 'lost' in the bush and some tricky caches found, the day turned out to be quite an adventure. With cars loaded with the gear and kids, we checked out of the accommodation and hit the road.

We ended up approaching GZ from the completley wrong direction and got to within 200m of GZ before realising this. A great big backtrack and loop around and we were soon in the right spot and had a much easier approach to the cache. Found and log signed. TFTC.

We were up to cache 132 at the conclusion of the Saturday of the “Ballarat Cache Smackdown”. Having arrived here on Friday night we had gone hard all weekend. It didn’t stop last night with a few juices being drunk before going to bed. The after effects of this were that we are all a little slow in starting up today. Having packed the cars and checking out of our home base we started our Sunday run with a few caches we missed the night before (the kids really did need to go to bed). The highlight of my morning was straining my left calf muscle running up a 4WD track. That sort of slowed me down for the rest of the day. We had a few must do caches today before splitting up and heading home. This was one of them. Find #145 for the “Smackdown” weekend. We drove close to GZ on this one and walked in about 90 metres for the find. Thanks.

Suscoe journeyed in here today, greeted by the local dogs as well arrived.
A short walk and the cache was found.
Signed the log and on our way.
Thanks to Bronick for this cache.

After being in Ballarat two weeks ago it was back today with the suscoe team to add a few more smiley's to my tally. Our aim was to find a few mysteries and others as we passed by.
On arrival we were greeted by the local four legged furry kind but thankfully they were very friendly. After checking us out they wandered off home. A short walk to the GZ area where the cache was soon found and signed and we were off to the next. thanks to BroNick for showing us this great area.

Found with bogonghazy on a quick dash to pick up No.900, and for him to mark today off his calender. Have never journeyed to the end of this road before, and had no idea this creek was even here. A nice quick easy pickup. TNLN. Thanks for bringing us here BroNick, a pleasant spot to remember my 900th find.

Found this one on this beautiful walking track with my good mate Sully1. It was her 900th cache find and it showed, as she found the easy track up while I did the more difficult rock scramble. Thanks BroNick for showing us this great little spot.

Simple enough. Surrounded with wood

TFTC
Found on a hike from Creswick to Brown Hill with Geo-twin and friends

Found on a bushwalk with the Bushrangers Womens Walking club. Quick and easy find just off the path. TNLN TFTC

Found while out walking after work. Pleasant stroll along the creek and an easy climb over a few rocks. TFTC

Found tonight with a flat light

Thanks

A night find with an inadequate torch made the find harder than it should be.....
# 10 for the day
TFTC

See field note. Great spot!
TFTC

Lovely location. Thanks BroNick

We loved the walk along the creek to this cache.
We can see why you placed it here.
After we found it we continued along the path.
Thanks BroNick

Found with Mum & Dad.
The walking track is really nice.
I liked the cache hiding spot and wanted to climb on the rocks.
Thanks BroNick.

Lovely weather, lovely day, lovely cache!
