Unfortunately there does not seem to be any evidence that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. It would appear the owner of this cache listing is no longer interested in the cache and the cache has been abandoned.

As such the cache is being de-listed (Archived). If there are components or remnants of the cache, please recover them as we don't want to litter our environment with Georubbish.

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**###

----------

Hi there Cache Owner,

This cache has come to my notice as there is a 'Needs Maintenance' log that that indicates there is some sort of issue with the placement and it needs your attention please.

Check out the Guidelines here: [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable the cache**](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) 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:

- Check on the cache, repair and/or replace the cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked 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 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. For ongoing issues (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to speed.

- If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**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.

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) 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 information/advice posted above.

Whole guardrail has been knocked for a six. See photo.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Say this is gone

Found today on road trip to Ballarat, log is damp but cannot see how moisture could have got into cache where it is placed, thanks for the hide, rallysport, a type of container I have not seen before

**Find #2422**

A nice quick drive by today. No muggles around while I was at GZ.

Thanks **rallysport**

Had to be carful of muggles. DLE to the rescue. TFTC

Found while on holiday from Tasmania. TFTC!

What a view! Great cache & first for the month, many thanks

2nd attempt at this cache successful. The one place I didn’t look the first time. Log dry but scrunched up a lot, did my best to make it a bit neater.

Had a good look around for this cache. No luck today.

Excellent spot here given the lunar eclipse and lights spread out beneath us. Cache found by ADI as I combed all over the structure overcomplicating things.

We saw the lunar eclipse at this cache ! The view is stunning and a perfectly romantic spot!
Last cache for the night!
FP awarded

Another one of the list

Got off work early after having to work all weekend and decided to find a few on the way home.
Parked near GZ located the cache and enjoyed the view while waiting for a couple of cars to pass so I could replace it.
Thanks rallysport TFTC.

A quick park and grab on this cache only waiting for one muggle car to go past. Signed and returned as found

**Thanks to rallysport for hiding this trad cache for us to find and enjoy**

Nice quick find out on my adventures.
Tftc

We had camped in Wombat State Forest overnight and made a slight detour on the way back home to Melbourne to grab this cache. TFTC

Last cache for the day before heading back to Melbourne. The first check in the expected hiding spot didn't result in anything.. hmm...looking again, and, just a bit further in than expected. Signed and returned. Thanks,

Caching day
Found it
Thanks rallysport

Headed out for a hunt day with crank1 & Everlasting in Bacchus Marsh and Eynesbury area. I was hoping to celebrate my 1000 finds today. The weather has been good but survived with light showers in the morning. Thanks rallysport for bringing us here.

Pwala found it before us thanks for cache and hunt

Swappable game not on point

TFTC I used to live near here, very cool find with Chedda67207! TNLNSL. Log is a bit old - be careful if you decide to unfold it!

After a short walk in the nearby Long Forest I made my way towards the Djerriwarrh Creek area where I still had a few unfound caches.
After a DNF at the other bridge I was HOPing TO UNcover this one before going home, and indeed it was the final find of the afternoon here.
Thanks rallysport.

TFTC - muggles everywhere - we thought this would be a quiet area.

Thanks to Arkbel88 for cleaning out the cobwebs which help to turn the cache into a quick park, except for the small trench that nearly kept me a little longer.
Log signed and replaced as Found.

Thanks for the cache rallysport

A quick stop and grab at this cache, the only problem I had was all the spider webs covering the cache. TFTC

Quick find with Ogston Girls Tftc

The geopup and I took some time exploring looking for a swimming hole on this hot christmas day. Ended up spending most of the time in the air conditioned car but stopped to fill in a few more smilies on the way. Thanks for giving us a reason to head out this direction. Merry Christmas and happy caching.

*1/11/16, Found @ 9:33 am, Find # 5856.*

While on my way to attend a CITO event at Pykes creek, I stopped off at this one for a look.
When I arrived at GZ, I was sure I knew where it was going to be but when I had a quick look I didn't see it, I figured that it had to be there so I had a better look and there it is, all the way in.
The cache was retrieved and the log signed.

**Thanks to rallysport for placing this cache.**

Found the ants but no cache

Quick grab and go after picking geoteen up at a party! TFTC

TFTC Probably should have red previous logs... didn't really check for Mr Red Back before removing cache for signing ... oh well all good - no bites

Tftc but omg on the ants no red back tho thanks brem&kids must have scared it away

Found it! And the red back is still there!

Sprung fellow cache people

Out for a day in the Marsh with BeardedMuggle & TR!
Found nice and easy. Then we had another car load of cachers turn up.
Took & left nothing.
T.F.T.C =]
Safe travels & hoppy caching!

Rocked up at GZ, found the container easily and just as we were signing, a car load on the way back to Horsham from Melbourne arrived. Had a quick chat but it was TOO cold to stay out long.
TFTC

I was actually aiming for a cache on the outskirts of Melton but my car GPS reliably informed me to turn right and before I knew it I was on a 15 minute detour going in the wrong direction. So instead of Melton I looked for some caches around Hopetoun and the outskirts of Bacchus Marsh that I hadn't found before. A quick one here right at the off ramp, thanks for the cache rallysport.

Found it

found ! tftc

Cool TFTC

Trev & Ash

While I made a fake adjustment on the load, kenare found and signed the log and we were off again. Cigc. Tftc

We pulled up here to 'adjust the load on the ute', lol. While Sean.75 made the adjustments I quickly found the cache. Tftc

Nice quick find after a lovely guy stopped to ask if I was ok - very nice TFTC

Good freaky hide

Nice find. Not extra small would say small. Key holder. TFTC

Found it

Thanks rallysport for an excellent cache. The cache is held firmly in place. There is still plenty of space in the generously sized log, and there is a small plastic bag of blue tinsel in the cache. Happy Easter!

A quick find, keeping guard. Thanks rallysport.

Heading up to Ballarat for a day of caching fun and wanted to grab a cache on the way. Was a nice easy find but didn't realise we couldn't get back onto the freeway until it was too late, oops! Ended up on a nice detour though so all good and we still made it to the Ballarat meeting place in plenty of time TFTC

Good grab on the way home. TFTC

Nice and easy thanks.

Easy find.
Very sneaky.

Cute little cache

Yay

Took a little longer than it should have to find this one, and of course a car drove past just as I went to retrieve it. TFTC.

SOB SOB SIGH.... Ive just dropped my first-born off to uni-living nearby Although in super proud that she has come this far, I shed more than a tear as I drove away.... Without her
We come from South Gippsland, so it quite a drive to come see her... I am sad...

Something to cheer me up... a GEO-CACHE... or 10!

I saw a few caches just off the freeway on my way home... Wanting to stall on this side of the city so that I didnt get stuck in the Monash carpark I thought it would make the perfect little trail

This was the last cache on my list for today.. As i arrived at GZ there was a brokendown Landcruiser across the road (yes, sadly, cruisers breakdown too), I had time to spare so headed on down the road to take in the surroundings, hit the roundabout and headed back, oooooh, they were back in the car! I stopped nearby and took a few photos of some stunning horses then once the muggles left I made my way to GZ, thankfull the spiders hadn't remade their home from the last finder , to make a quick find...

Thanks RallySport for placing this cache, now to head for the Monash and hope its not a carpark :)

A great hide thanks. SL

Having read the previous log we approached GZ with caution and there was the spider happily guarding the cache. There was much debate as to whose turn it was to have to deal with this type of thing. In the end it was a combined effort of watching and swift movements. Log signed and container back in place as quickly as possible. Yuk we hate spiders.

Looked in the obvious spot and found a huge cluster of nasty spiders so continued checking everywhere else first.. nothing. Went back and used the camera phone to take a photo of the spiders den and sure enough the photo confirmed the cache was securely located behind a wall of web! .. I politely asked the spiders to pass me the cache so I could sign my name and returned their sacred vessel... Good luck to the next finder.

Quite a busy area here this morning. Exited the car with clipboard in hand and made my way to GZ. People don't seem interested in me when I'm writing in a clipboard, it's a nice distraction. Made the find, signed and returned without any-one noticing. TFTC rallysport.

Nice drive by with a typical geocaching hide. Good one thanks, TFTC rallysport.

An outing today with Misschief18 and her teddy on a cold and drizzly day. The cache was loosing it's contents as it is a bit small for swaps. Took a highlighter and swapped it for a dinosaur. TFTC

Found on a day out with geniejoan. A quick find. TFTC

Thanks.
Kids really enjoy.

Quick find at 7am busy corner...

Nice easy find TFTC
