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.

[center][u]MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?[/u][/center]
[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]

Looks like Kevin has buzzed off. Can the CO please check on him?

Kevin doesn't seem to have wanted to stick around and went for a fly. Maybe he was sick of being a fly on a ...!!

We found where he should have been but he wasn't home

After searching for a while and then eventually PAFing we decided that Kevin had unfortunately hopped/flew away.

Cool cache. Q. What kind of insect do you find in a church?
A. A Praying mantis. Tftc

Enjoy caching around beautiful Ballarat country.
Nice hide
Thanks PoleCatS for bring me here and cache.

A butterfly flies up to a ladybug and gasps in surprise "Where's your antenna?"
the ladybug replies "I changed to digital"

Found just on dark and might have jumped a little with the find and had to shine my torch to double check what I was seeing! Kids loved it, and we left a family of minions to start their adventures to who knows where.

Staying a few days in Ballarat on our tour of Australia using Geocaching as a guide.

Isn't this game SO FABULOUS! It takes us to places of interest in so many towns. We have met many people over our few years who we are proud to call friends just through this crazy game!

A common interest to show off your home town and the many places you would like people to visit. So today we did just that.

Certainly Ballarat should be so proud of Ballarat Geocachers you have a common goal to show off your fabulous region, and have FUN with Geocaching. Just what Geocaching is worldwide 2.6+million people can't be wrong! So keep at it full steam ahead guys!

We managed to visit your cache today.

Doing just a few random caches (well, one or two not so random ones too) during our short visit to Ballarat. Hey, there's far too many for one visit. This was one of the random ones, but let that not detract from the enjoyment we got with the "woah" moment in keeping with the theme. As for an insect joke to offer, sorry, we're pretty much e-scint of them!

[red]Find #2249 Traditional #1865 [/red]

This one didn't take me long to find. The surrounds were quite damp but all in order. I was able to park quite close and after a short walk I had what I was after. Stamped and returned as found.

What a great day out. I left home at 5:09am only to finish at 6:37pm with a total of 51 finds for the day. Enjoyed some great company with two events in the Ballarat area and picked up some great D/T ratings along with enough mystery puzzles for a challenge cache. Thanks to others for the company

[blue]Thanks for this trad cache hide, Pole Cat S [^] Log and container were in good condition. TNLN [/blue]

As I cruised around the back blocks of Ballarat today I let a few insects live another day. A couple of flies in the car were taken off death row as I opened up the Triton's windows.

Lucky little blighters.

Unfortunately, my sense of humour has had no such luck. Consider it well and truly executed with this joke.

A man in a movie theater notices what looks like a grasshopper sitting next to him.
"Are you a grasshopper?" asked the man, surprised.
"Yes."
"What are you doing at the movies?"
The grasshopper replied, "Well, I liked the book."

Oh dear.

At least Kevin was in good nick when I signed his log. Glad to see something is still going strong.

Early this morning I headed to Ballarat with Stemicmitsar for the purpose of finding some challenge caches we had both qualified for as well as a desirable D/T rating and some sundry caches.
Seeing as we were in the neighbourhood, we thought we would be remiss if we didn't call in and say hello to 'Kevin'. 'Kevin' was most accommodating and let his address be known to us quickly. With the visitors book signed, we bade farewell to 'Kevin' and continued on our way.

Thank-you to PoleCat S for placing this geocache

7/03/2015 Found @ 1:59 pm, Find # 4166.

Today biggles1024 and I headed out to Ballarat for a day of caching with a number of caches with significant value on the hit list.
By now we had nearly finished the challenge caches but Kevin appeared just before we had finished, so we had to go and say hello to Kevin, he wasn't a tricky fellow so he was found with ease, the log was signed and we left Kevin to do what he does.

Thanks to PoleCat S for placing this cache.

Nice quick find as we entered the forest area. Not too many bugs out today. The flys weren't too bad at all. Speaking of flys, when did the fly fly? When the spider spied her.

A great family adventure picking up some wonderful caches.
Thank PoleCat S for the find.

Mr Tardis and Mr Scoobster were out for half a day of caching around this nice area while on a visit from Adelaide. We were keen to try and grab many of the caches in this lovely forested area.

Mr Tardis found the cache in the first place he looked - don't you just love it when that happens?

Thanks for your cache and helping make our weekend so great.

TFTC. Loved the cache container, very cute.

This guy was lonely and he decided life would be more fun if he had a pet. So he went to the pet store and told the owner that he wanted to buy an unusual pet.

After some discussion, he finally bought a centipede (100-legged crawler), which came in a little white box to use for his house. He took the box back home, found a good location for the box, and decided he would start off by taking his new pet to the bar to have a drink.

So he asked the centipede in the box, "Would you like to go to Frank's with me and have a beer?" But there was no answer from his new pet. This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and then asked him again, “How about going to the bar and having a drink with me?” But again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet.

So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation. He decided to ask him one more time; this time putting his face up against the centipede's house and shouting, “Hey, in there! Would you like to go to Frank's place and have a drink with me?”

A little voice came out of the box:...........



"I heard you the first time! I'm just putting my ******* shoes on."

Found at 12.20pm on a bitterly cold day with Harrowang. Loved Kevin, SL left a mantis to pray for summer! TFTC Polecat S - Hope the joke's not too long!

What a pleasant place to find Kevin resting quietly. We are enjoying our caching time in Ballarat with friends and fellow cachers Markndee. SL at 12.20pm Left: keyring and replaced the torn plastic bag that held the log book. #2256

Q: What creature is smarter than a talking parrot?

Im not going to be that particular, I'll just spray the whole wasp.

We were out for a day caching in Ballarat up from Geelong, we came across this one and had to do it, and we liked the idea of sharing a joke, thanks for the cache PoleCat_S.

Out for a couple of caches today, i was a bit wet by the time I got to this one . it took me a few minutes to find it . TFTC.

A quick find here today out on the outskirts of Ballarat. I liked the container, it brought a smile to my face when I uncovered it.

Here is a grasshopper joke that you will hopefully enjoy.

A man and his pet grasshopper walk into a bar. It's about 5pm, but they're ready for a good night of drinking.
They start off slowly, watching TV, drinking beer, eating peanuts. As the night goes on they move to mixed drinks, and then shooters, one after the other.
Finally, the bartender says: "Last call."
So, the man says, "One more for me... and one more for my grasshopper."
The bartender sets them up and they shoot them back. Suddenly, the grasshopper falls over dead.
The man throws some money on the bar, puts on his coat and starts to leave.
The bartender, yells: "Hey buddy, you can't just leave that lyin' there."
To which the man replies: "That's not a lion, that's a grasshopper."

Thanks to PoleCat S for the cache.

Found a very long time ago with dbelco & geordiefamily.
Sorry for my delayed log.
I have a huge build up of saved unlogged found caches and now the old app is retiring, I thought I better get onto a couple while I have a few hours free and it is too hot to go caching.
My apologies again.
Cheers and T.F.T.C!
Safe travels & hoppy caching =]

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.

Seeing that I had to be in Ballarat for an appointment I decided to polish off a few solved puzzles and grab a couple of trads on my drive around.

what a cool cache guardian looking over this cache, definatly better finding Kevin looking over this one other than finding the usual huntsman or wood spider.

How interesting it is to come into the forest from a different angle. Completely different perspective and no doubt about where I. Was heading. This time walked straight to GZ and there was Kevin's habitat. And he was home! All smiles for this cache and so I took a family photo of Kevin at home, but I cannot divulge it as a spoiler.

NIce quick find and I loved the cache container. TFTC

Ballarat had turned on a beautiful day, and after finishing the Saturday morning jobs, what better way to enjoy the afternoon then to head out a get a few caches in. Headed over here after visiting The Sovereign Hill.

Had looked at this one a while ago, and having a rather corny sense of humour this one really appealed to us. Nice, out of the way spot and loved meeting Kevin. Even in this spot we encountered muggles out pushing a stroller. And now, for the obligatory joke:
Q: Who are a bee’s favourite musicians?
A: The Bee Gees.

Thanks for the cache Polecat S.

Nipped into Ballarat on a rainy day with Bettyboo3747 to grab a few challenges, and a few other caches on the way..
This was just past the furthest challenge, so we went the extra distance to get it.
Great cache, and I do recall that joke.
Thanks, Robmc.

Q: What’s worse than a worm in your apple?
A: Half a worm.

# 3425. Robmc and I headed to Ballarat today to log a few of the challenge caches we have completed and to catch a few others that were close by. It was very nice in the misty, damp bush collecting these and I was surprised to see so many grass trees along the tracks we took.

We did think it cute to find Kevin on the lid but didn't realise a joke was required as well:

Q: What goes 99 thump, 99 thump, 99 thump?
A: A centipede with a wooden leg!!

TFTC PoleCat S

What better way to begin summer than with the lunch packed, caches in the GPS'r and be heading toward the Twelve Days of Caching Event in Ballarat. We heard on the radio Mt Helen had suffered significant damage in an overnight storm, we saw many fallen trees and evidence of water having raged through the area. Kevin was still in place, we added a little extra cover to hide his exposed bits.

Q. Why are you not troubled by flies at the computer?
A. They are afraid of the World Wide Web.
