Logs

31-Oct-14
One or more of the following has occurred:

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.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

This cache hasn't been found for quite some time, the needs maintenance doesn't appear to have been acted upon and the CO has not logged in for a while either. I've contacted him or her regarding this without success. Unfortunately I think this cache needs to be archived as it sounds like it's gone missing.
 
01-Oct-14
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 is greatly appreciated by all geocachers.
The rule is; [red]if you can't fix it straight away then "Disable" it till you can[/red] - I have disabled it for you this time! [^]

[purple]Please respond to this situation by 30 Oct to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. Sad 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.[/purple]

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.

Called by again but still no luck, think it needs to be checked out

Didn't find it - we found this cache some time ago when it was waterlogged. Believe the tractor work has taken this along with the small tree!
 
15-Jun-14
Cordinates were out as it put us in the dam, had a look around but coudn't find it. A lot of tractor work both in the paddock and along the roadside so hopefully it hasn't been disturbed! Will try again at some other time

27-Feb-14

No building abandoned here anymore.

Thanks

Found it on the 15 th of Feb on a caching trip to Licola. Nice easy find. Container getting a bit damp.

Must admit that the only Random or Abandoned thing I found around here was the cache. There is no sign of any abandoned building, structure or anything near GZ. My usually accurate GPSr suggested that the published coordinates were about 15-20m away from where the cache was found. Would not have found it without the clue, so I can only presume that the cache location was moved as the structure was demolished and put somewhere to match the clue and is nolonger where the CO originally placed it. The container has seen better days and is a bit rusty and contents damp.

On our trip to find caches we found this one. Left some fish. Needs maintenance as tin has rusted and items are getting damp and rusted

A guy & a girl - 13 Towns - 500 kms - 60 caches

September Stroll was born earlier in the week with an idea hatched to head in a loop towards Sale starting from Moe. Heading north up to Heyfield, across to Stratford then down to Sale before arriving home late, it was a magnificent spring day to enjoy East Gippsland.

Approaching GZ we both looked around for the abandoned structure, but it had obviously been demolished recently!! Trent made the find a fair way away from where the GPS was pointing us, least the hint is accurate.

Thanks for the cache Nautilus7497!!!

On a geocaching run to Maffra we decided to grab this one as a quick drive-by. Yeah, sure! The GPS had GZ in the middle of a dam and a slosh through the wet roadside to as close as I could get, while being legal, revealed nothing of interest. I then widened the search without success, so read the hint. That worked but not until I had employed the gum boots I had so cleverly placed in the car for such occasions. However the cache may as well have been in the dam, it was well submerged! Managed to sign the log and replaced it back in a more secure position in an effort to avoid the entry of more water. It may require some attention. Then quickly extracted myself from the wet else Ladybug make me #1 abandoned as well. Would she have come to my rescue had I become stuck?
TNLN Thanks "7497" for the chance to enjoy a quick and successful paddle!
 
21-Aug-12
A lot of water near location, couldn't get close enough to find, wifey got very wet trying, she is a trooper isn't she..... We'll come back closer to summer.
 
16-Jul-12
Can next cacher on-site please take down co-ords, so I can up-date them, pretty Please.. Thanks :0)
 
15-Jul-12
Gave us wet socks! Wish we had read the notes from nautilus7497 about it being wrong co-ords. We found it on the other side of the road.
 
11-Jul-12
A very wet find!! Put in a few figurines and took nothing as cache was fairly empty.. TFTC!
 
29-Jun-12
Area surrounded by water. GZ has its own moat. Cache container holding water. Log damp, but able to write on it.
Thanks S & D for another in the series
 
08-Jun-12
Found on dusk, standing in ankle deep water. Lucky I had me camping boots on. Co-ords were a bit out for me but still found without the clue. There ain't many spots to put a cache here, so no problem.
Didn't see the geocoin? Thanks enjoyed the find.
 
22-Apr-12
the co-ords are on the wrong side of the road, follow clue and its an easy find (if it was put back in the tree) ... I will do a co-ord up-date when I can, have limited time and funds currently.
 
21-Apr-12
Today I found this cache 23m from Coords but it matched the hint. Cache was uncovered and was in what appeared to be a road side drain. Cache was dry.

Again had fun with our GPS sending us out into the dam - good thing we didn't follow it:) Read the hint then found it nice & easy. SL TFTC Nautilus7497

Quick find with geochild TFTC T1L1

Now the hint should say Medium tree not large or small tree.

The large tree is on the other side of an electric fence... yes it is turned on. The bloody poor cows sure do get a kick from it. lol

The medium tree is the one your after... there are only three trees.

Mind you there are over a billion flies... what is it with flies and cow packs....

Make sure you bring some to open the cache... a flat head screw driver is perfect.

By my GPS's calculations the cache is about 20 meters from GZ. This can be clearly seen on Google Maps. The cache on Google maps is on the dam side of the road. You will find the cache is on the other side.

But overall this cache is great fun... or should I say SHOCKING fun. lol

All I can say is watch out for the electric fence....

Thanks Nautilus7497 for the fun and adventure.

i found it after reading comments as this was point me to a little tree.Smile

Both my GPSs and their maps put the cache on one side of the road, but after checking a couple of possible spots, I headed across the road for a quick find (about 15 metres out). Thanks for the cache.
 
19-Oct-11
Found quickly, and without getting wet after reading a few logs. No swaps TFTH - no TB in cache

Found this cache, while trying to get my 100 total before my 31st B'day TFTF GPS was a little out, had to jump to the other side.
 
02-Sep-11
Well this one had me guessing just for a second with the coordinates. Avoided most of the wet stuff, but still had a sample of it after retrieving the cache.I wonder if this got left due to containing asbestos? TFTC.

The last one of the R A's I set out to get on the weekend

GPS sent me to a Rather Small Tree.

Thought to one Self "Self this can’t be right" And Self was right in the end.

Ended up with muddy foots, stunk all the way home, and had to give shoes a wash..

This was my second port of call this morning after popping into Cowwarr weir. Fantastic day for a ride on the bike. I think this is what they call a renovators nightmare! Cache was found and signed with only half a wet foot lol.
Liked the log book in this one. Cool. TNLN Thanks to Nautilus Soni+Dayns for the hide.

*FTF* with Kellyhaunts on a late night run. Once we stopped looking at the GPS was trying to send us we crossed over on the other side of the road and found the cache in a obvious spot. TFTC
