Cache maintenance is a cache owner responsibility and includes regular visits to the cache to ensure it is in proper working order, especially when a seeker reports a problem with the cache.

Based on a couple of the previous logs, perhaps it's time for the CO to make a visit to this cache.

Due to recent coments have decided to archive cache

Easy find. Signed wet log.

Took a while to locate this one, it seemed as though it had been discarded. With matt_geo and cjfinda we put it back where to think it belonged. But log is wet and muddy. TFTC
 
10-Jan-17
We were about to walk away when I picked it up out of the undergrowth and said what is this? I threw it back down and matt_geo picked it up saying surely that's the cache and it was! Put it back where it clearly belonged.
 
10-Jan-17
cjfinda found the container and from the marks on it we could see where it should have been. We signed the wet, muddy log and returned the cache to its home. TFTC

Staying in Cape Paterson for a few days and time for some caching in the nearby beaches.

27-Mar-14
Taking a leisurely drive along the coast road from Daylston to Cape Patterson and pickung up some caches along the way with friends Liz & Bruce. We went on some good walks and saw some beautiful scenery. Had only a couple of DNF's along the way as most of the caches were good finds, the clues helped in some instances.Thanks to know-mads for hiding this cache.
 
27-Mar-14
We have wanted to visit the Cape Paterson/Inverloch area for some time after hearing the wonderful stories that PPRAS has told us about their annual sojourn to this part of the world. Finally our travels have bought us close by. On quite a fine day we ventured forth with LazzaL for a day of exploring and caching. Beautiful scenery and beaches and a peacefulness that probably belies how the area is in high season had us meandering from cache to cache. This was one we targeted and were able to find. Thanks to know-mads for placing the cache and enhancing our enjoyment of this wonderful area.
 
03-Mar-14

When we parked up here we were being watched very closely by some cows...suspicious animals. They didn't spring us finding the cache though, so all was well. Thanks for the hide - sneaky.

My last quick grab of the evening before heading back home to Korumburra. Nice cacher tail leading up to a nice hide. TFTC!
 
14-Oct-12
KTCvic ventured out on a Gippsland Gallop today rounding up approximately 40 caches. What a fantastic day it was too, as we were able to soak up some rays as well as the views, as we made our way eventually to Cape Patterson.

A full log will follow to give your cache its full dues but for now this copy and paste will have to suffice.
 
24-Jun-12
Found with Billanddee got it just in time before the rain came down again. TFTC
 
16-Jun-12
A quick find @ 16:00 in the company of the geowife, emeraldflame and wal-len. The log took some effort to retrieve and was then duly signed. We left the makeshift log extraction tool close by for future use.

Thanks again to know-mads for the cache.
 
16-Jun-12
GeoBel stayed in the car while the GeoFolks joined me for the search. Mr GeoFolk actually had his hand on the cache at some point but being a newb he did not think it could be it! It was great to see their amazement at the sometimes clever nature of geocaching hides. TFTC.
 
16-Jun-12
found @ 16:00 with mum and dad (ross47) and help from Wal-len

Quick find, though took a bit of work to get the log out.

12-Jun-11
Today we had a bit of an assault on the area going with a team comprising of walenators and wileyclan, which ended up being quite long and fruitful!

As we pulled up, I was first out of the car and very soon had the cache spotted. The fun bit came with getting the log out of the cache as my fingers were cold and did not want to work prooperly. Once that was achieved and signed we were on our way again in a very short time.

Thanks for yet another cache during our sojurn know-mads

Cheers Cool

10.30 Whilst staying in the caravan park at Cape Patterson over the easter weekend we had some spare time to go out for a while. With some friends to keep us company we decided to do a couple of walking ones and this one was on the way. Mr xambo pulled over and no need to turn the beast off. A very quick find and replace. Excellent container which should min maintenance.
Thanks for the cache.
