Hi there Gonefishen07,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **MAY** need some attention.

You may recall having received an automated email from Geocaching HQ which explained what you needed to do.

Unfortunately, nothing seems to have happened, so I am having to take the next step and temporarily disable the cache - see here: [**Geocache Health Score.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713)

**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days so others know exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication kill this cache.**

#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache and repair and/or replace 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.

- **Place A Write Note Log:-** Reviewers are not mind readers, so without your note on the cache page telling them what the situation is, they can't tell what is going on with the cache.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) and, when the listing is next checked, all will be fine for a little bit longer. But be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.
If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date), please ensure you visit this page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks so as to keep everyone up to speed with what is happening.

- **Adopt/Archive:-** 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 the above. Well, when the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned and processed accordingly.

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.

**JUST A TIP:-** Have you checked out the new Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own? Have a read about it [**HERE.**](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/07/welcome-to-the-cache-owner-dashboard/?newsletter=PM) You will find your very own dash board [**HERE**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner?utm_source=geocaching&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=COD)

Thanks for your cooperation,

It looks like this used to be embedded in an old thick fencepost. But the fence is gone, just one bit of wire string where it used to be.

We had a quick look to no avail. It looks like there has been a little bit of work there so it could be due to this it is missing.

May need a new spot couldn’t find looks like fence has been taken out hope it’s not missing

Fence has been pulled down along with a lot of bush

Lots of broken tree branches around GZ from the strong winds hope its not missing

A tougher but a goodies and you need to look carefully.

Easy find this one may need attention soon as it was half out of its spot .

It seems safe enough to re enable now.

Disabling till life gets back to normal. Who knows when that is going to be

Its there my first find
Live near by can’t wait to find more

Tijden rit van Phillip Island via Wilsons Promotory naar Thredbo deze cache gezocht en gevonden.
TFTC and greetings from Belgium.

Wet af

TFTC! A relatively quick find. Log was soaking wet after the previous nights rain, luckily we had a waterproof pen.

Had some kangas checking us out

Found it our first one for 2020 happy new year fellow geocaching friends

As we wander the great land seeing the sights, this is one of the caches we have done.

Thanks to Gonefishen07 for placing the cache for us to find.

Grabbing a quick cache to put towards the 3, 2, 1 Go souvenir tonight while we're down at the Cape.
A crisp breeze through the trees led me to gz where the cache was found with no troubles (partially due to a bit of the log sticking out of the end).
Coordinates are bang on and the container is another great one that we're used to from the CO.
Signed log and returned.
Thanks for placing this cache - hopefully we can grab the rest of the series soon!

TFTC, Brainiac03

Quick find. Didn't need a tool. Found log on ground.

Cool

We found it!!!!!!!!!!!

Found it! In Wonthaggi for the weekend with the Walkabouters! Went for a short walk near our accommodation and found a couple of caches along the rail trail. A quick find as I’ve found a few like this before. TFTC SL Replaced it away from the ant nest!

As with the last searcher, nothing is here except a small hole in the ground

Whatever it was, its not there now.

Great one

Small but awesome idea

Day 9 of our caravan trip going South from Queensland. Explored Phillip Island and now heading off to Wilsons Prom.

Tftc

Jaime from my PE for girls class found it

A lovely stroll in the cooler weather. Dodged quite a few webs in the way in and ended up stopping face to face with one to retrieve the container. Then had to wrestle with the jammed log for a while before succeeding in safely removing it for signing. Nice view! TFTC

Easy find but hard to get out

Found it - difficult to get the log out

TFTC

Needs fixing

Fixed and put back

In area to attend an event. Short walk along trail with gwd.aussie to grab a couple of caches but no luck with this one.

TFTC

I think we found the container.
But no log book in cache.

I see that the CO has fix the issue now.

Needs maintenance- log missing from within cache

No log book in cache

Followed trampled grass and found the log

In Melbourne with Cravo10 to attend the Mega in Alexandra.

We took the red eye from Perth, leaving at 1am Thursday morning, and departed Melbourne early Tuesday morning, so it was a short five day trip.

We managed to snag a couple of nice stats for the trip. First mega event, 12 cache types in a day, 10 lab caches, 50th large cache find, and most importantly my 10,000th find at Mount Disappointment.

We spent the first day on a caching run from
Melbourne to Phillip Island where we had booked into the local caravan park for the evening. We cached all day chasing down a number of the whereigo and puzzle caches from the CF series, before ending the day caching the extremities of Phillip Island, where we had both never been, an amazing part of this country.

Next morning we cached our way to Alexandra which was the main reason for our trip to Melbourne as we had both never managed to attend a mega, which were hoping to rectify in WA next year! Attended the pre event and managed to get a couple of group FTFs by torchlight which was a real highlight.

Saturday we cached in and around Alexandra all day, chasing numbers, the highlight of the day would have to be the birdbox hides around Alexandra and the multi in Bonnie Doon from that famous TV show, a real nice touch!

Sunday was an epic caching day, chasing down 12 types in a day, which required a couple of huge drives to claim some of the rarer icons around. A huge caching stat which is a very rare feat in the Southern Hemisphere. We finished the day travelling to Mount disappointment where we found Melbourne's 1st cache and then started making a dent in the powertrail, finishing by torchlight.

Our last full days caching was spent at Mount Disappointment to chase some big numbers and with a few caches around the burbs for good measure.

Special thanks to all the wonderful COs around Melbourne for their brilliant caches, and to the mega committee for organising a ripper event, hope to be back next year!

On a 6 day tour of Victoria with Barnzy12. Taking the red eye over from Perth we managed to visit some great places. The main reason for the travel was the Mega event in Alexandra and the opportunity to find 12 cache types in a day.

We originally travelled to Phillip bay, then up through the country side to Alexandra. Spent a few nights staying high in the snowfields and then moved over to Mt Disappointment. We then ended up back where we started returning the hire car at the airport to fly home.

Some quality caches were found all over the state, great to get a real range of cache sizes with some very large caches compared to what’s available in WA and the range of D/T options so close to each other was a bonus.

Thanks to all the Cache owners for you placements and creativity put into hiding and have awarded a few fav points based on this or the location it bought us too.

Tftc

Started to run out of time so i bolted to this one to make an easy find.
Tftc

Quick and easy find. Aesome container! Thanks

Found on a quick walk along the trail. SL TFTC

Nice quick and easy find on a beautiful bushwalk TFTC

Posted this one after a wide search. TFTC

Still working our way through the last few on the rail trail - one day we'll finish it I'm sure. TFTC.

Another find along the rail trail with cjfinda and robber44. Great day for a walk. Thanks.

After a shirt drive to continue some more of the rail,trail I was greeted by this superb cache. A fave point for this one. Thanks Gonefishin

Enjoy walk toward the cache with crank1.

Found with WeRAmused. On the bikes today investigating area, very enjoyable. TFTC

Found with MazzyMay. TFTC

We headed out from the caravan park along the scenic route to Wonthaggi so we could do the State Coal Mine tour and on the way we grabbed a few caches and this was one we found. A quick find. TFTC

Love these caches! Good spot for one. Thanks for the series. Got 7/8 on this lovely autumn afternoon.

The day has finally come for me to use my night away at Jongebloed BnB in Wonthaggi, which I won at the Wonthaggi New Years Event for my Lolly Log presentation. Thank you Gonefishen07!!! When I won it my husband kindly donated his side of the bed to a friend of my choice and suggested I make it a geocaching weekend away. Ummmmm okay!!! No arm twisting required.

I had planned for my next milestone to be at Cutlers Killer Views, which we DNF'd on our last girls trip. I had spent the last little while making sure that I set myself up numbers-wise so that this would be achievable this particular weekend. However, our day of caching all the way to Wonthaggi, driving through Nyora, Poowong, Korumburra, Kongwak, and all the other places in between, had taken waaaaaaay longer than we expected and we ended up being in a mad rush to get our final 6 caches before my 700th. It was a race against the sunset!

We decided to hit this trail as it was short, straightforward and had the right number of caches that I needed. Shock horror....geocaching just for numbers!! Sssshhhh don't tell anyone. We had to pound it out in order to make it down to Cutlers before the sun set. This cache was found surprisingly quickly. We looked around all the usual spots and then I caught sight of the hardware shop and the name of the cache played over in my head. Once I thought about the name logically I walked straight up to the cache.

This was one of my favourites of the day. Very nicely done. Fave point from me

It was almost 3.30 and sunset was a 5.15. We needed 6 caches in order for The Rustys to get her 700th milestone cache. We were running out of time . . . it become a case of quick caching for numbers which is something we never do . . . Luckily The Rustys spotted this section of the awesome Rail Trail series that neither of us had done. Time to get our skates on. Love how the titles in this series give very subtle clues as to what/where the cache may be. A favourite for the hints in this title!

Found it extremely clever

Great hide

Searched for about 5 mins but couldn't find.

A nice grab TFTC.

A quick find at the end of our third day of caching out of San Remo. Just dabbling with the rail trail, will have to come back. TFTC

Tnfc

Found after a quick look cache found in great condition

Found it!

Suscoe decided to spend a second day visiting the caches of the Inverloch area.
It was significantly different temperature wise today, about 20 degrees cooler in fact.
Clouds accompanied the day, but it kept dry until quite late in the afternoon.
We continued to enjoy finding these caches, a delightful range of hides, containers and locations.

We decided to make a late afternoon trip to Wonthaggi for a short ride.
This was our last find on this part of the Rail Trail for today,
Thank you for continuing this terrific work along these trails.
A favourite for another delightful ride along a railway from years gone by.
Could almost smell the steam and grease.

Well done Gonefishen07!!!

Good afternoon cache. Tftc!

Replaced log

Hi there Gonefishen07.

We found your cache "Rail Trail- Post it to Cape View"at 1:12:00 PM today, & this now makes our find count 12666.

Today we chauffeured Gonefishen07 around the countryside as she wanted to do a maintenance run on some of her caches. She's a hard task mistress - we had to find each one without any help whatsoever.

We covered a lot of ground today and found a variety of cache hides, visited an "off grid" totally solar powered house, and even found a cache we DNF'd the other day. When we finished our run we found that we had logged 19 and DNF'd 0 caches.

Coordinate Accuracy: We found this cache around 2m from where our GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Nothing.

Thanks for placing this cache for us to find,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

Just booked out hotel and grabbing a couple of extra before bedding down. Today has been a huge day and were feeling a bit sunburned, however it has been an enjoyable day. the cache variety, the types of hide and thinking of the maintenance on all must be huge task. we highly recommend this series. Not too difficult to ride fighter. Thank you for placing these for all to enjoy.

Found with Mansgirl on a day out caching. Thanks.

Found quickly on start of trail - tflc

Log book full - let me know if you want it replaced

Visiting from port Macquarie NSW

a quick find before I had to leave for the flight home, great hide. TFTC

A trip down memory lane here for me, as this old railway line was included in my stomping ground growing up as a kid not all that far from here. As we walked along here today, a few different visual things were there that I remembered from my childhood, a dam here or a sandy rise there. All memories now, locked away where no one ever knows or cares about.

We found this cache quite easily as we were distracted by something else and the find was soon in our hand.

Thanks for the cache and placement Gonefishen07.

On a road trip while over for the Melbourne Mega.
Thanks for adding to the enjoyment of this trip.

TFTC
