### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###
A basic tenet of geocaching is that the cache log needs to be signed to record a find, see here; [Logging of All Physical Geocaches.](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#logging ) At the moment this would seem to be extremely difficult if not impossible to meet that requirement in regard to this cache.
Prompt attention by cache owners to any log that indicates anything could be amiss is greatly appreciated by all seekers. The guideline advises; ***"if you can't check/fix it straight away then Disable it till you can."*** see here: [Owner is responsible for visits to the physical location,](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance ) and here's how; [Temporarily Disable and Enable,](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235) also check out this Blog: [Helpful Tips To Keep In Mind As A Geocache Owner.](http://www.geocaching.com/blog/2015/03/you-hid-your-first-geocache-now-what/)
Please respond to this situation by **26th July** 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 indicating a date when you believe the situation will be resolved.
**And don't forget,** once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; [Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [Temporarily Disable and Enable](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

We found the lid of the tiny capsule where it should of been , so it must of been screwed off or muffled. We knew where it is hidden but was not there .
Luckily no Senior Cits around here but us! Wal-len was wrong again but she got me close. I found the sly little hide. Makes me feel good when I'd nearly given us and have one last desperate look. TFTC
Out with the Swaggies at 17 February 2017 1:52 PM. Find 1440. Had a senior moment looking for this one.
Outcaching with Yorsys today collecting a few caches around here.
As a senior citizen it only took a moment before we found this cache. The place was deserted today which helped us in our quest.

Nice little hide for my first find for the year. TFTC, and thanks for bringing me here.
While MrG filled up with fuel, MrsG went looking for a cache. Don't know if it was luck or life taking it's natural course she ended up here. It was perfectly quiet at GZ so any thoughts of stealth were abandoned.......until suddenly from the rear came an ambush. Well damn, could have sworn this place was deserted! Some fast talking about flowers convinced no one and only made MrsG sound shiftier than ever. Thank goodness for geocaching tools. Who would have thought the CO would be lurking around here? Great to meet you crig. TFTC and a nudge in the right direction.
MSL and I were out on a marvellous day trip with the kids and, as neither of us had touched on the lovely town of Korumburra yet, today was the day! This was the first stop of the morning and the gz vicinity was blissfully muggle free. As the kids balanced along the parking blocks, we had a quick scout in the suspected area and then changed the direction of our gaze and the container popped out at us. Find number one on today's treasure hunt was a success! TFTC
My usual Friday plans of Mum's Group were thrown aside as Kato Potato suggested we pack up the kids and explore unknown geocache territory. We headed to what is a very familiar town for me having spent most of my childhood stopping here to snack on Kelly's Bakery goodies on our way to the family beachhouse in Venus Bay. We decided to make a big walk of the caches in Korumburra by parking the cars, packing the kids in/on prams and nabbing all caches within walking distance. This was a great idea except for the hills. Boy, did we get a workout!
This cache was the first on our list and we let the big kids roam free while we searched the likely location. Tugging a few things failed but I luckily had keen cache-eyes and spotted the little fellow. We then let the big kids make the find and happily added our names to the log. TFTC crig!

Didnt really like doing this one being attached to private property but you have to cache them all. With geodude#74
We were searching for this one when a vehicle drove into the carpark and we thought we were going to be asked to explain ourselves. But we were met with the comment "was going to give you a hand until I saw the Hawks numberplates". We'd been sprung by the CO! Spent some time chatting about all things caching while still searching and about ready to give up when finally found by mr sharnie's tribe. The container was reset where it was supposed to be by the CO, we exchanged vehicle TB codes and then went on our way. Always great to meet up with another team in the field. TFTC
Reception here today is difficult as my iPhone keeps jumping around but soon found Tftc
Suscoe was out and about today heading to Leongatha and Korumburra for a bit of caching.
It was an overcast day which kept the temperature quite pleasant.
We saw some beaut country around here.
Our 29th find of the day.
Arrived at a great moment, car park empty, no Seniors in sight.
Cache found after a bot of back and forth.
Thanks to crig for showing us this spot.

Four seniors had a good poke around and soon had this crafty little cache sorted.

We were just about ready to give up here, but Petal put her hand straight on it and we were happy with that.
We found it after reading old logs which gave us a hint here.
TFTC crig.

We are staying with relatives in Warragul, and our cache run today was started at a random cache on the map. We then navigated to the one the GPS said was next closest etc.
We ended up logging 22 and DNF'd 1.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: A Smiley Badge if the cache was large enough.
Thanks for the hunt,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

Found this one today with Vanessa&Aodh. I have been a couple of times before to look unsuccessfully. Today I enlisted some extra eyes and this cache was eventually found. I don't think the clue was very useful for this one though but the log is signed.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
Out with kmace finding some caches in Korumburra before the event in Wonthaggi. She'd been to this one before and had had a lovely chat with a senior and was muggled out. This time there was nobody around so we had an uninterrupted search. I had it in my mind that it could be one of two types of container and probably had my hand on the container, but Karen found it with open eyes! Great container, thanks crig.
Unfortunately, we didn't get within 15m of this one as the seniors were all arriving for their cup day lunch and flutter. No search attempted
We searched. We checked the hint. We checked the logs. We searched again, tried to look inconspicuous when a muggle walked past. We could not find this. Not sure if it has been muggled again or whether our eyes were having their own senior's moment.
The gps had me all over the place, but finally pointed me in the right direction! Tftc
New cache today. More boring than previous hides, but possibly less likely to be accidentally picked up as rubbish or a snail. Try fence.
Hooray!! We've been here four times... My mum is so determined haha. A little disappointed we didn't get to see your original cache container, but alas, sounds like the original got "cleaned up" too often. Thanks once again for all your local caches
During our holidays spent in Australia we visited Wilsons Promontory National Park. We made a short break for refreshment in Korumburra and tried to find some local cache. We were unsuccessful in the near park thus we decided to search this one. It took a while because we were searching a small one. Finally we found this smart hideout. We love this place and would like to stay there forever. Greetings from Czech Republic. TFTC!
04/10/2014 4.00pm - 4th for the day - with dgfb33 & geogran1937. Something unrelated that I'd seen at another location gave me an idea & it was correct.
Introducing friends to the joys of geo-caching and this was the first they had seen. A clever cache and they couldn't believe the deviousness of some people! A quick find that impressed all. TFTC.
26/09/2014 >5.10pm - didn't find it - with dgfb33. geogran1937 was "resting" in the car. Our eye's just couldn't do this one today.
Found this cache on a late night hunt with cindles and stewart.sophie. Very well hidden, forgot to bring tweezers though to had to improvise with a hair clip. TFTC.
Yikes! Was 9pm and no caches for the day!!! Best we fix that!!
Almost stumped with this one, about to give in and made an accidental find.. Nice work Crig... Nice work
