Unfortunately, I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore as advised previously, the cache is being de-listed (Archived) to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

The [**Geocache Maintenance guideline**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains what needs to happen with a Disable cache.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.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

If you wish to contact me 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 notice from one or more log entries that this cache would seem to be in need of some help - **there appears to be a need for owner intervention.**

The guidelines indicated that periodic 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) I cannot see any log that indicates a recent visit by the CO to this cache.

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) Therefore, the cache is being temporarily disabling 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.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) within 14 days, 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 (within 14 days). 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, then a few weeks from today, when I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will unfortunately have to de-list (Archive) the cache 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 information/advice posted above.

Unfortunately another DNF but did Find GZ after reading the logs .
had a good look around but no find .
TFTC Blacklegend

There is no information sign at the posted coordinates now. The first such sign is some 15-20m further along the track and seems relatively new. It has no "HISTORY and TOPOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION" section, The cache description needs to be revised to fit the new sign.

Found by Mary & David at 1028. The signs must have been recently replaced and relocated, as they no longer fit the questions. We had a bit of time, so checked the hint, took a punt on the final location, and found the cache there in the first spot we checked. Our thanks to Blacklegend.

Had a long three days of caching with a total of 2054 km done! Enjoyed every minute of it despite some dissapointments as well. Most caches I found were really nice and in good condition, thanks to all the CO for putting them out there! Trip Kiama-down the Hume to Albury/Wodonga-Along the Murray to Cobram-back to NSW and via Hay to Ivanhoe=back down to Griffith-Temora-Yass and home. Beuatiful litle reservoir along the river! Unfortunately the shelter is closed, but if you are not afraid of height it is still accessible via the viewing windows. Cache is in good shape

Looked for a while but we are new to this

A quick and easy find as we cache our way around the area for a couple of days. The wetlands are looking pretty dry at the moment, so I don't think the area at gz would be getting a lot of use. The camo on the hide is holding up just fine at the moment. We would have spent longer looking around the island but the sky looked like serious rain might be close by so we cut our visit short. Thanks for bringing us here Blacklegend and thanks for all the caches of yours we have visited over the last 2 days. At a guess, at least 3/4 of the caches we visited were placed by you, and we look forward to coming back for some more when we get the chance.

Had to use hint otherwise I would have walked away w/o a smiley. Cyclist came by just as I found it, thankfully they kept cycling so I signed log and returned. Camo still intact. Def a favourite. TFTC

Clues confused me but hint was spot on once arrived at spot by accident. TFTC

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one of the list

The navigations kept changing a lot of entrances so clue wasn't very helpful

thanks found it

A lovely day for a walk in the bush, thanks for making us do it. Unfortunately due to the lack of water in the lagoon we didn't see much bird life around. Thanks for the hide and bringing us here.

Found it after 3rd time being there, once again forgot a pen so will go back and sign it

Victorian Murray River region caching weekend 2015. I walked in here after collecting the required information. It least it was not dark as GZ and I actually saw your natural cover so was able to locate this one. All in all a nice area for a walk.

Thanks.

Found it! 7-6

Good hide, pity both of us were short but did find it in the end. What a great place.

Up here on a birding trip and mooching around in between times checking out the birding and the neighbourhood. What a great area and so close to town tho it's all a bit dry at the moment, will have to come back when it's a bit wetter. Thanks for your efforts to show off the area, have seen more than ever before and really appreciate it

Nice walk, nice spot. TFTC

#1453 once the workings of the gate were figured out by Mrs BGF we made it on the Island - good start It was a sunny but cool day with a fresh southerly breeze, still that was a lot better than 40 degrees for a stroll. We figured out gz without any issue but revealing the hide took some effort in the end - nice one! We then preceded to complete the loop track and check out the beach which is not well used but well vegetated as a result. After waving to the passing paddle steamer of muggles, we returned back to the geojeep. TFTC, lesson and much needed exercise Blacklegend.

What a lovely early morning walk with cool before get hot. Spotted the Koala so cute one. Enjoyed myself. Thanks Blacklegend.

A neat little area that was good to visit....

Gathered the required info and then set off for the walk to GZ. Had my non caching son with me who made the find....and in the process was very pleased with himself. A few people out enjoying the area and the good weather....

Thanks Blacklegend.....another fav point for showing me (us) the area....

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.

This was our first stop in Cobram and turned out to be a fairly quick cache. Info gathered at WP1 then a short walk around to to GZ where we checked a few spots before spotting the hide.

Thank you for the cache Blacklegend.
#2979th @ 1010hrs.

Downloaded a GPS app coordinates spot on. Hint big help. Been doing these on my bike and having a great time thanks

I parked the geomobile at the start of the walk
My first battle was with "THE GATE" [:o]
If at first you don't succeed, push harder !!

OK !! I was in
And could enjoy a peaceful stroll around this last little bastion of Victorian soil, despite it being cut off from the rest of the state by water !!
With the coords worked out, I soon found a good hiding place for a cache, or a cacher !!

But where was that pesky cache ?
I found a likely place, but could see or find no cache
After exhausting all other possibilities, I returned to the place I first looked and applied a bit more force to certain objects that looked immovable.

Ah, ha !! Gotcha
Muggles ain't going to discover this one in a hurry !! [:o]

TFTC and stroll.

A lovely walk though the sanctuary, found after three of us had a look around. TFTC.

Found today with Tamzy and the other half of PaddyJak, nice easy puzzle thanks, solved it quickly and moved on to final, wasn't long before I spotted the sneaky hide and had to get Jak to retrieve it, container still in good condition TFTC

Quick find TFTC. Lovely weekend

Great spot with so many different sounds to listen too . Tftc

Really liked this cache great walk to final location! thanks

Absolutely loved this multi, a simplish numbers game, and a great walk around to GZ.
Loved where it took me, and the clever hide.
Adding another fave Marshy, thanks mate.

A nice little multi in the Cobram area - we have visited this island before and loved it. The river was running at 4.6mtrs today we heard a helpful local telling his friends. Did the easy sums and then off for a short walk to GZ. Lots of water, although none on the paths thankfully, and the frogs and birds were making a merry noise to welcome us. #1671 SL at 10.49am after a quick find. Ah, another Q cache found and a multi as well - bonus. TFTC Blacklegend. Despite all the water around we are happy to report no DNF's so far.

Beautiful walk and a nice day as well

We had a lot of trouble with this one. The GPS appeared quite confused, and the location was quite a distance off the path, so I am still not sure if we had the right GZ (triple checked the coords). The area did not appear to have a geotrail nor did it seem like anyone had ever been there, and as it was getting quite dark we gave up for now. I'll be having a crack at it again next time I am in the area.

Was in the area once again for work and wasn't really considering doing a multi but we passed close to the start so we thought we'd give it a go. Turned out well. Nice spot to visit although we didn't have the time one normally alocates to such a place.
Thanks Blacklegend

Out for a leisurely stroll with Moriamappers to find this cache. I was lucky because she had been to this cache previously. She didn't make it easy,I had to look for it myself. SL TFTC

After downloading geosphere from blacklegend's advice we found the cache! Love this area... Great to sit and dream. Will return with pen to write our name in. Tftc

This one filled the bill for a quick walk and cache before breakfast. Water was flowing quickly as we crossed the bridge, and there was birdlife of all sorts stirring and giving a continual background of nature's music as we collected the info and walked to GZ. The cache was an easy find at 8:30am.
TNLN
thanks blacklegend

Walked this lovely island again,now I've become a geocacher so found this tricky little hide TFTC

Nice little walk today with a bit of water about.
I had a fair idea where it would be but I've yet to work out how to get the gps to show me where to go after entering the second set of co ords.
Thanks again BL.

#2416 It was getting later in the day but it was still pretty warm, the river was looking mighty inviting. Enjoyed our stroll on the well formed path and Dad had what it took to grab the cache. A nice spot that is great for bird lovers. Thanks for the great little multi Blacklegend

These are the caches we like best - a short walk in an interesting place that we probably wouldn't have got to otherwise. Thank you!

# 1 / 24 on a Cob / Toc night assault with Haveanez.

Arrived in town just before dark and stopped to pick up some burgers to fuel up on before tackling the night ahead.
With the burgers finished we made our way to wpt 1. Numbers were gathered from the informative wpt and we made our way round to Gz. We both really appreciated the directive description of cache location to make the find a bit easier, could have spent quite a while here otherwise.
Big Ez made the find as it was more suitable for his height while I provided the lighting.
Think it was a bit late for any bird watching from the comforts of Gz as non were seen, but plenty of Kookaburra's were seen and heard on the way back to the car, and also a few bats.

TNLN, TFTC, Cheers.

Found with DJ Rascal on a night run to Cobram/Toc and beyond.

Arrived in town and decided to grab some dinner before tackling any caches - a good idea, turned into a big night. We gethered the required info and headed for GZ - not too many birds about this evening except the noisy Kookaburras.
Thanks for the descriptive hint - sure made finding this one in the dark a little easier!
Looks like a nice spot thanks BL.

Good lunchtime walk on Quinn Island, you once could only get onto it by boat but that was a long time ago. Before my time ... Well!! Found cache, good hide, thankyou once again Blacklegend for the exercise and fun of finding caches...

lived around the area for many years but never step foot on the island. Thanks for taking us there

What a fantastic little wetlands, didn't get to see many wildlife, wrong time of the day I suppose, The water surrounding is very high and fast flowing, nice to see. Enjoyed the walk in, found the cache straight away no probs. Took the time to have a look at the plaques at GZ.
TFTC
Cheers

Awesome cache, what a beautiful wetland. TFTC.

love this cache!! Also introduced some birdwatching muggles to geocaching TFTC!!

Found but miss places my pen so will return to write in logbook

Found at 4.10pm with Ohbeeone great day to be out saw some Koalas but got some mozzie bites! TFTC

Found 16.10 today with Penndragon's, Easy find, love to be taken to these parts which we might not ever see but for Geocaching
Thanks Blacklegend.

micheena - At last, found Quinn Island. Knew about it, and that it was in Cobram, but hadn't taken notice where the entrances was. Loved the walk, and had a great day to do so. Have skied passed, but didn't know that the area was Quinn Island. Know I have more knowledge of the area, thanks blackledgend.

Found after the footy this morning.Great area with a lovely walk full of great information and lots to look at.Had a good look around.Worked the coords out with ease and headed for GZ nice quick find,great clue.
TFTC Blacklegend

A neat hide this one (again, thanks BL), we looked in all the obvious spots for this one, then a short time later CO found the cache in the only real obvious spot.
Many thanks BL..............TNLNSL.

TFTC, nice hide and walk in, found with Roostaman, Fred6603, and Hinco

Quasar and I again proved teamwork is the key to a quick find, we grabbed the info at WP1 under torchlight in the quickly diminishing twilight then walked to GZ for the reasonably quick find.. Quasar this time provided most of the required athleticism to see this one found.. I went the safer option and tried ot plastacine my hand into somewhere it clearly wasnt going.. utnill I discoverd that the jigsaw puzzle could be unraveled another way.. We were soon discovering a surprisingly empty logshet and signing in the *FTF* spot at 5.37pm.. find #1274

*FTF* #16 at 17:38 with Spladem. Found during 'Blacklegend's Bush Birthday Bash' event held on the Saturday in Barooga. Having been to Cobram many times over the last twenty years I can say I had never been to the sanctuary, or actually didn't even know it was there. We stopped at the gate entrance and made our way to the information boards where we got the required info. Some quick calculations later and we were off the GZ.
Once there we searched inside then I climber up to see if I could find the hide. I spotted it and guided Spladem as he retrieved it from its hiding spot. We were suprised to find an empty log book this late in the day, well night now. A great spot i'll have to explore more when i'm up this way next. Thanks Blacklegend for bringing us here, the multi and the cache.

TFTC *FDF* Found with Hinklenator Fred6603 and roostaman,nice easy multi enjoyed this one.

Found with Fred6603, Hinklenator and Hinco by torch light after a big drive around the area after the BBBB Event. A very nice hide that we had seen before, but eluded us for quite a while in the dark. Fred came up with the goods this time thankfully. TNLNSL TFTC Blacklegend,
Roostaman.

Found with Roostaman, Hinklenator and Hinco. A quick calculation at Wp1 and then another nice moonlight/torchlight stroll to GZ to find a nicely hidden cache.

Thanks Blacklegend.
