A Cache of Farming History Hamilton, Victoria, Australia
By jugglingogre on 09-May-11. Waypoint GC2VN80

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]

Had location confirmed but not there, might need to check this one please.

Had the location confirmed, doesn't seem to be where it should be.
Wonder where it has gone.
Perhaps the CO might check this one.
Saw a photo of the original placement, not there, maybe somewhere else, who can tell?

Couldn't seem to spot this one, although didn't spend very long looking.

Took a while but found it

No luck for Suscoe here today.
Will have to drop by again one day soon

Mate is 95% sure he knows where its ment to be but cant find it

First micro for the day!! was just ready to leave when cache spotted.. A nice place which I wouldn't mind coming back to for a better look !

Found on a rather chilly day. Had to "look at phone" while muggles passed by.

Very small

Nice spot

We are heading from Mount Gambier to Melbourne for a well deserved few nights away. We have all day to cache along the way as Geodad will be at work if we get there too early. Quick & easy find today. TFTC

Easy to find

A very short look and a fortunately glance in the right direction! Shame this museum cannot be open.
TFTC

Woo

Cute

Cool

Tricky find! Good one

Bingo

On a bike ride around Hamilton this morning, I was not going to learn any farming history here !!
It was shut !!
That did not stop me finding the cache in under 30 seconds

Hooray !!
After so many DNF's in towne today, it was nice to have an easy one [^]

TFTC

Found on Australia Day 2015 while out on a picnic!

(Sorry for the late log. We've been on route moving house and without reliable internet for some time... catching up with logs now)
This cache was well done... we needed to use our eyes and brains a little and voila!
Lots of history through the fence.
TFTC!

It was a hot, hot day, and the grampians were hazy with smoke... but we were still out caching... in fact it was a good day for it as most normal people were inside. We'll have to come back here another day when this is open and have a mosey around. Replaced the log. Thanks for the hide.

Found it this time [ well geowife ] Starting to heat up as is a total fire ban [ LOG stuffed ]

Tiny, no pen on me today but found it. Clever. TFTC. Team Timmos of Toowoomba

Another quick P&G outside of a property filled with history. Such a pity it is open so infrequently.

Log book is chock full an in need of replacement.

Had to put a DNF for this one.
Looked for a while.

looked up down in & out but did not find today

Nice easy find on a early morning stroll. TFTC

Ooooo sneaky little hide!

Found it!

Nice sneaky hide.

Yay! After logging a DNF back in 2011, we thought we'd have another crack at this one whilst passing through today. Hey presto, geo-hub had the prize in hand within seconds!
TFTC!!

Found with Tassie Trekkers while caching around Hamilton. A clever hide. TFTC

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

Today we explored Hamilton with Whitewebbs using geocaching as our guide.

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

TFTC

Great sneaky little find. TFTC

Not open today but the cache was opened and signed and on to the next.

Found this one in the company of Slinke. I need to come back and spend more time at this location.

Nice easy find on our way to Port Melbourne. TFTC

We were disappointed the museum was closed but happy to find cache.

Found with Kiara123451234

found quickly with dad and poppy

Am thinking maybe it needs to be open to find the cache

# 7866 Found on the Vic leg of our S.K.I.D.R.O. adventure,
while staying at Hamilton for a few days.
Another drive around the area for some more finds before the rain returns.
Not many muggles around and a reasonably quick find on most of them.
Thanks for the cache jugglingogre,
Roostaman.

We did a complete search of the area but were not able to locate anything.

Clever wee hide TFTC

Great spot for a late arvo pick up. We will have to return when the museum is open. A clever hide where being tall is an advantage but sharp eyes are required. TFTC

A quick find on the journey back to Melbourne after a holiday in Robe. TFTC
Well placed and interesting location!

Great spot for a cache, thanks!

Sadly the GZ location wasn't open on Boxing day today, would have been nice to look around inside of it, although how lucky we were in the absence of much muggle activity as a result of this fortuitous circumstance! If only we had more time to spend in Hamilton, oh well, onwards we went to cache, TFTC jugglingogre!

A bold hide and a quick find as I passed by today.

Picked this one as soon as GPS settled . Will return when facility is open. TFTH

Found during a roadtrip to South Australia with ThePacman. We thoroughly enjoyed the new sites and sights, and obviously there was a lot of geocaching along the way .
It took us much longer than necessary to find this one, but eventually we got it.
Thanks for the cache.

Visited while on short roadtrip to South Australia with ThePacGirl.
Initially we were looking a few metres away under cover, but we soon zoned in on GZ.

TFTC.

Alas, the facility was not open. Will have to come back another day. But the sneaky cache was there for the picking. TFTC.

Another brisk walk around Hamilton when we could have been packing up our camper trailer! But then we found the cache. Needs a new log DESPERATELY.

Nice quick find while admiring the glorious roses in everyone's garden along the road to the cache

YAAAY OUR FIRST GEOCACHE !!! - Zoe and Hannah

Great place TFTC

I see it! Quick find

tftc

In Hamilton for a medical appointment, once that was all over an hour left to cache before I make my way home.
I spotted this one a little to easily as it was on show for all. Have tucked in, to make it more of a challenge :0
Thanks

Great hide. Msmarple1 made the find. Unfortunately the gate was closed, but this looks like a place I could spend a lot of time in. TFTC

Checked in to the hotel across the street and there was enough daylight to do the closest cache. Cheers from Canada. TFTC

Pioneer days .. didn't know this was here .. the great days if years gone by .. tftc

Tftc

On our way to Melbourne and stopping at Hamilton for the night so what better to do than go Geocaching!

We attempted this one a few months ago, searched for a good hour and had no luck. Well not this time, second time lucky!
Geodad is positive he looked where the cache is last time but it wasn't there, hmm must of had a mans look

At least this one didn't beat us but not sure how I found it. Used the clue and all of a sudden cache was in my hand. Another well hidden cache by jugglingogre. TFTC

Must be getting tied after a long day's drive..

Great hide, i must of been tired as this was another find for Poppet11.

what a great little cache. Thanks for the clue, it really helped.

TFTC.

Liked this little cache. A fav point. TFTC

It looked pretty good here but wasn't open - we satisfied ourselves by finding the cache. Thanks for the hide.

Clever hide

TFTC

Good hide

Great camouflage and good find

Cache found,
Helps to have a bit of height.

Log will need replacing soon.

A slow trip across to Mt Gambier with Bettyboo3747, lots of diving to be done.
Unfortunately, it wasn't the last Saturday in the month, in fact it wasn't even a Saturday!. So we didn't get to see the displays. But that was probably not too bad as, if it was open, we would have had trouble getting the cache. Nice hide.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 2789. Robmc and I were travelling between Melbourne and Mount Gambier today and this was one of several caches collected along the way. We had a nice variety of hides and not many micros, which was wonderful.

We pulled up here and all was quiet. We read the clue and this narrowed things down a bit for us and we soon had the cache in hand. TFTC

A sneaky find, with Jammo. Good one! TFTC

A sneaky little bugger of a cache, but very clever! You really have to keep your eyes peeled for what its only very slightly out of place. Tftc!

1958th cache found by WazzaAndWenches. Log signed at 13:38Hrs.

We've been in Nelson for the Big Little Event over the weekend. Heading home today via Ballarat.

A quick stop off for a well hidden cache that cost me a few minutes of frustrating searching.

Thank you jugglingogre.

Nice cache, near my old haunting ground Monivae! TFTC

TFTC! Waited until the muggle on the motorcycle had gone by, then had cache in hand quickly.

Walked right past this one and only found on a back track for a better look. Side note- coords were good for us.

#3477 We were in transit with our travelling companions 3InOne heading to Nelson for the Big Little Event. After having been in air conditioned comfort for a number of hours it was decided a driver change was needed and this cache was the ideal opportunity to do so. On a 40+degree day the heat hit us like a brick wall, thankfully the very nicely concealed cache was soon in hand - a very apt hide for its surrounds. We didn't have time to tour the area but from what we could see the area looked impressive with the old implements. Our thanks to jugglingogre for the cache [^]

Found with friends J+J on what turned out to be a big week of caching which included attending the Big Little Event in Nelson. The day was hot ... Really enjoyed the trip despite the weather. SL..TFTC

On way to Big Little Event in Nelson this weekend. Travelling with Skullracing. Our car needed a driver change so we pulled in for this one. TFTC & site.

Nice bit of history, TFTC

Quick easy find on our way to the Big Little Event
Tftc

Quick and easy find with Slinke. TFTC

Found at 2:36 PM GAFF1. There was no one about today and the gates were closed, but we could see some of the familiar equipment from other side of the fence.
Cache was nearly out of its hidey hole and ready to fall onto the ground and be muggled.
Thanks jugglingogre

14:35
Driving westward in convoy with team Pprass with the ultimate destination for the end of the week being the ‘Big Little Event at Nelson. We have a connection with some Educational history here, so it was good to catch up with some agricultural history. Satellites today had our GZ 7m south of where we found the cache.

NOTE TO CO: Just wonder if your Terrain rating of 1.5 is a tad low for this cache.

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt jugglingogre.

Find number 14 of 27 today. A quick find as someone makes a hell of a racket in the nearby woodworking shed. Thanks for the cache jugglingogre.
