As there has been no 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.

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.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.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

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 regular 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) by 20th July,** 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:

- Repair and/or Replace your cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) 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 don't plan on fixing it up then please [**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.

- 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 (by 20th July). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, it is likely that I will need to 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 instructions posted above.

It has been two years since this one was found and we had no success today either. Think this one needs checking please.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

No smiley for us today thanks black legend.

We were in a bad patch for some DNF's in the area. Not sure if someone has come through and taken them or our cache blindness was in max today.

Had a lot of issues with all the river caches on this long weekend trip! A lot of them need maintenance and checking after the recent floods?

A quick and easy find as we cache our way around the area for a couple of days. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Wet else to do on an anticipated wet afternoon. Caching in Cobram/Barooga for the day. Nice kid friendly cache. TFTC

Nice one, always like to visit the bush on our travels.
Thanks for the cache and now for morning tea.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one of the list

Nice easy cache to gind on the co-ords. TFTC

Nice quick find for the kids! Thank you

Quite an easy find so camouflaged it a bit more

Victorian Murray River region caching weekend 2015. More bush tracks and with no one about I was able to stop off the wet bit and go and find the cache.

Thanks.

Just on sunset and full of birds singing. TFTC

Found it! 7-5.

Good hide. Swapped a toy, there is a few there still!

Travelling around Australia in our Caravan with our cat.

Making our way south to Melbourne now, it's amazing seeing all the other travellers heading north! Are we heading the wrong way

Currently staying at Apex Beach we headed out today to see what the surrounding areas have to offer!

Geocaching takes us to some amazing places and your cache certainly helped with that.

Very green in here and lots and lots of kangaroos, track was a bit damp and slippery in a few spots but no problem for the geocruiser.

Wattle tree beach looked amazing.

TFTC and feeding our Geocaching GEOaddiction Blacklegend

A lovely quick find today, just after a few to add to my numbers TFTC

Out and about, picking up a few caches. No campers in this area, today.
Cache was located, after a short search.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Blacklegend, for us and others to find.

Good hide TFTC

Today was probably the last chance for a trip over to Cobram before the hot weather hits. A couple of puzzles were solved and a plan was hatched.

There was a little bit of concern when a ziplock bag was found close to the road edge but a look further into the scrub revealed the cache sitting exposed in its niche.

Thank you for the cache Blacklegend.

Very nice geocaching

Very nice geocaching

A lovely day for a ride finding caches! Caches was left open an exposed. So I have covered it up and placed all items back in the container.

TFTC

Didn't take anything but the little torch wascool

Second find for the morning, TFTC.

After looking at the map, we thought, " that'll be easy to walk to from the river". Our only mode of transport was a jetski. How wrong we were. A 250m thistle bash in thongs, shorts and pfd's . That's dedication, or is that stupidity?

So parked up the jet ski at first available place, then a pretty long walk in my hiking thongs! Through the bush, bit wary looking out for snakes! Midaho left a few clues along the way so we could get back thank The Lord!, once on the track the GPS had us in the spot and the cache was in hand. Tftc

Dry season makes it easier to get to these caches. I've loved my time in this area. TFTC.

Good one. 9yo found it by himself

Thanks. Found by MR - her first find!

Found track able 4KRX6Y

Another nice hide in a place that had campers across the track when I returned.
Should be safe with the extra cammo I added, just in case.
Thanks again Blacklegend

Nice find

Left trackable

Good old bush track, left hour glass and took crocodile (:

Good for kids easy as

was here good night hike

Tracks were nice and dry for our 2WD today so we had a quick find at 12:45pm.
Took Woolly's trolley tag Left koala
thanks blacklegend

Forgot to log this one. Discovered in February on my morning walk. Tnln. Tftc

Quick find in the river flats, did a swap & moved on. Thanks for the effort Blacklegend.

After my disappointment at the earlier cache this thankfully was easy. Took small black ball and left a few different swaps, as container was getting low. SL TFTC

Today is our last day of caching in this area, we are heading from Tocumwal to Cobram & return.
Drove our 4x4 along the road to the cache ,nice & dry along here at the moment
Thanks Blacklegend

What a lovely forested spot for a cache find
I remember finding my first cache too, back on 14th January, 2005 !!
Was it that long ago ?
This cache was a nice easy find and I had time to try out the puzzle
I gave up after a couple of minutes.... there were caches to find !!
That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it
A fitting cache to claim as my 8000th find
TFTC,

An easy find today. There was an intriguing puzzle in the cache which I was tempted with, but I didn't have an appropriate swap.

It would have taken time away from caching anyway!

Another cache in this wonderful lagoon area. Congratulations on your 2000 finds, thanks Blacklegend

Nice easy find. The trickiest part was finding somewhere I could safely turn around as my van has the turning circle of a whale. Had a whale of a time TFTC

We were having trouble getting Purple Dreamer out of the car (she had done too many of these caches!), so I parked very close to the edge - both her and Bettyboo just dropped out!
A quick find by the side of the road, and a slippery trip out.
Thanks, Robmc.

#539. Found in the company of Robmc, Purpledreamer and Chewinprickles. Another nice hide and quick find in this lovely area near the river. Robmc did indeed park on rather a steep angle with purpledreamer and I opening the doors and just falling straight out. Thanks BL.

Thought we might be stuck here for a while after Robmc slipped off the track into the table drain but he backed out easily. Cache was no trouble either.

another fairly quick find - a good introductory day for the 8 year old - thanks Blacklegend

Magic place and I stayed at the nearest beach for the night - tftc Blacklegend

An easy one today.
Thanks.

#2410 ....and hasn't the last couple of years just flown by thanks to caching - in a good way of course!! We were surprised to see what we took to be muggle entries back in July last year - how the heck to they come by these things. The cicadas were pretty loud here today but still a tranquil spot nonetheless. Thanks for the cache Blacklegend

I wanted to grab a cache for the day and also one in NSW so this was it. I quick grab once the location was worked out in the early morning before everyone was awake. TFTC

# 2564 @ 13:40

Nice easy find where I thought it would be. Plenty of knick knacks for the kiddies. Thanks Blacklegend.

Found and logged at 11:15, Spending a few days caching along the Murray
A quick pick up in a bush setting
Thanks Blacklegend

Found on the way home from work, short detour once again. Easy to get down now it is all dry, found easy, logged, had to take cache back to car as a muggle came along while I was trying to pack it and get it hidden again. Asked if I was looking for koala's, haha I just asked if there were any around... That took care of that. TFTC

Found today 11.45 with Penndragons. Took radio.left Puzzle
tftc Blacklegend

Found with Ohbeeone at 11.45 took radio compass and left puzzle toy. TFTC

A nice quick find on our way back home from a blitz in Melbourne, Many thanks for the hide BL.
TNLNSL........Cheers.

micheena - yes, some of the tracks were just as the photo shows, but that's half the fun.

Found easily. TFTC

Found while over this way for the footy,after it had finished had planned to grab a few more BBB caches i had to log.Another quick easy find in a great area.
TFTC Blacklegend

Sorry its taken so long to log the cache, the dog really did eat my note book ripped it to pieces we picked up all the bits and put it away in the cupboard and forgot about it. Today after spending ages to sticky tape it back together I can now start logging, the ones I can still read anyway, the others will have to wait to we get back and check the log books.
This cache we found with Team Crackers after the event,
Thanks Blacklegend,
Regards Mr. Coffee and the Coffee Clan

The looks on the kangaroos faces as we drove by were almost comical. If only...maybe the conversation would go a bit like..."Hey Skip, who's that?" "Don't know, Skip. Don't know the car..."

Found in the company of the Earthbound family, walenators and the Farmers 5. Drove by the early morning kangaroo crew with the dopey looks on their dials! They watched us drive one way and then back again. I guess it was a "What the?..." moment for them too!

Our second cache this morning with the Coffee Clan and in an area we have cached before. We had this one in hand not long after stopping the car and hoped this would set the scene for the rest of the day.
Thanks again Blacklegend and congratulations on your 2,000 finds.

Tb drop

We enjoyed all the off road trails today and this was another area we had not seen prior.

Many thanks to Blacklegend for the cache and 4WD adventure.

A quick stop and the cache was in hand, as we got back into the car, the park Ranger drove up and had a quick little chat, and soon enough we were on our way. Found with the Farmers 5, and Earthbound Control TFTH...SL....TNLN

TFTC, nice quick find, found with Roostaman, Fred6603, and Hinco

A nice easy cache at an early hour in the company of the Farmers 5 & the Walenators. More kangaroos...our "city boys" children amused by the Roos "who the heck are you" stance by the side of the road. TFTC

*FTF* #14 at 16:41 with Spladem. Found during 'Blacklegend's Bush Birthday Bash' event held on the Saturday in Barooga. We'd just done a nearby cache and seemed to have come to the end of the track which suddenly dropped into a huge ditch. We got out of the car and walked through the bush for about 30 meters before coming out onto another main track. GZ was only another 25 or so meters down this main track.
We arrived and found the cache no probs and opened the log book to find it unsigned, checked the back and yep blank. Just as we were about to sign a 4WD pulled up beside us, 'Looking for plastic containers ?' Spladem asked, and the reply was 'Yep'. It was baby&MrsGopher and we invited them over for a joint FTF.
As we made our way back to the car we found a small track through the scrub that linked the two tracks and mae our way onto the main track. Thanks BL.

Joint find with Quasar3671 and baby&MrsGopher at 4.41somthing pm, Quasar drove about as close as we thought we could where we found a rather large drop off.. we walked a further 50-60m to GZ where the quick find and empty logbook was found.. a 4z4 pulls up and the passanger says were you at the BBQ earlier to which I reply are you looking for Tupparware.. we were soon jointly signing in the #1 possition.. Thanks Black Legend for the puzzle and Find #1269 We were really quite delighted to still be smashing out *FTF* 's this late in the day..

1496 Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1640 after the Bash at Barooga.We were driving past to find another cache and 2 of the lunch group were here,invited to take a joint FTF withn them tnx guy's SL visited CacheMover coin Tnx Blacklegend

Found with Fred6603, Hinklenator and Hinco by torch light after a big drive around the area after the BBBB Event. Nice hide that we had seen before, so a quick find. TNLNSL TFTC Blacklegend,
Roostaman.

Found with Roostaman, Hinklenator and Hinco. I had driven past this exact spot while caching yesterday but it was good to have an excuse to go driving in this area again.

Thanks Blacklegend.

TFTC *FDF* Found with Hinklenator Roostaman and Fred6603, thanks for the hide.
