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 or an indication as to when this might take place

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.

Looks like this is MIA as had a good search then contacted the CO who came back with a message promptly. Went and had another look and could see where it should be but unfortunately it’s gone. Thank you CO for your help and prompt response

MIA apparently.

South for a holiday and passing through on a long day of driving - but time for one quick stop, breath of fresh air - and a quick cache (of course).
Thanks Dasies of the Galaxy for entertaining me at this location.

Out with Bunadoorian this afternoon on our way to watch a friends Band play at Heathcote at night. We enjoyed the afternoon geocaching and being brought to many new places that we had never been to before. Another clever hide that I found just before we went into the nearby brewery to see the band. TFTC Dasies of the Galaxy . Find 12 for today

Another find to Grub62. Cleverly hidden cache. TFTC.

Found with SQZR, JAX86 and Breeza87

Cheeky hiding spot!

Found it

Is that one of my ancestors? Near GZ was an information sign mentioning James Crowle, builder. Crowle is the name of some of our ancestors, a pretty rare name. I must do some research. It required me to do a second search before I discovered this well concealed cache. Very clever to think of the method and find a way of creating the cache. There weren’t many alternative places to hide a cache around here.

Found it!!

First one in Heathcote

**Find #2820**

Out for a ride on our Geo-motorcyles today. Blue skies all the way. Stopped at a bakery and then it was time for a cache. Nice sneaky hide, with some history to enjoy.

Thanks **Daises of the Galaxy**

Quick stop here after a cellar door session opposite.

**Thanks for the fun Dasies of the Galaxy**

We enjoyed this and learned things

On the way home from dropping the kids off for school holidays, I took some time to grab some caches in Heathcote that I always want to get, but time never permits for, so I made some time today!! A quick P&G here on a somewhat busy Thursday afternoon! Another cool camo hide! I really appreciate the effort gone in on your caches! TFTC, SL, CIGC

We found this one today as we headed out towards Fosterville to pick up a couple caches on a very wet and damp day. The find initially was a hard one when we first looked a few weeks ago in the dark. Today however was avery quick P&G. TFTC from the inspectorrexteam.

Another good sneaky little hide. LOVING Heathcote caching. TFTC

Thank you for this find!! Log book is wet though.. but clever hide

Cache found though the log is missing. I suggest it's dropped into it's hiding place. I've added a new piece of paper for now to keep this cache active. Thanks for the caches!

Stopped here while passing through up to Riverboats. Tftc!

New log added

Good little find, but the log is jammed in, so we couldn't sign. Some maintenance required. - Adam & Kahlia

Heading from Ballarat to Wangaratta and collecting a few caches along the way. Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining the caches. Found but unable to dislodge log.

Found cache, but was not able to retrieve log due to water damage. Please replace if necessary.

Found it great camo

Nice and easy

That is a marvellous hide, so much better than the ubiquitous NANO. I would have given this a favourite point, except that the log is wet and jammed in. To prove I found this I have attached a photograph. That mark on the paper on the right, is my attempt at signing the paper in the tube. It's a G. This needs the CO's tender loving care.

Cheeky find

After enjoying our recent caching visit to Heathcote, Team Ladava decided to return for more of the same.
Love a cache pointing out a significant historic structure with some history in the cache notes.
Unfortunately, part of the container seems to be missing ad the log sheet was soggy but a top mark for the creativity of the hide.

Cache condition – damp.

Paper soggy and a bit of a nightmare to write on but finally got it. Tough to get in daylight hours but it's a perfect blend in. Nice work TFTC

Having a base in Kyneton for a few days, we had a very cold day of caching in an anticlockwise loop - Sidonia, Tooborac, Heathcote, Redesdale and return.
Another interesting snippet of local history brought to us by geocaching.

Thanks to 'Dasies of the Galaxy' for the hunt and cache placement

Nice old house, looks like it might be getting a spruce up, nice hide.

F(H)ound It! #2270 - @ 1:30 PM

Me and the Ridgeo-pup are continuing the road trip after the ALEX17 Mega and now heading for Horsham today.
Another quick stop before heading out. This time it was a quick find thanks to the hint and a similar recent find. Thanks for the cache Dasies of the Galaxy

MEGA ROAD TRIP - Alexandra Mega 2017 that is. Day 1: Getting almost there. [8)]
After being picked up by Mrs. Aussie M&M in her salubrious geomobile, our target for today was to get to Heathcote for an overnight stay.

We are here. One final cache before finding our digs and heading off to the pub for some grub before it closes.
What a great old building. Looks like they are doing it up. Must come back and see the finished result. But for now we found the cache.

Thanks Dasies of the Galaxy for this cache.

An easy find from the correct side. Nice quick find and interesting building nearby. TFTC.

On a 3 day geocaching weekend with the fiancée & the geo-dog in the caravan, day 1 we made 18 finds & 3 DNF’s, day 2 we made 26 finds & 2 DNF’s. The RSL served up another fantastic feed so on the way home more needed to be claimed. Today we tallied 10, with 0 DNF'S. Total=54. She went straight up to it while I was still fiddling with the GPS. An FP from me again.

After a lengthy hiatus from finding caches, we hit the trail ... literally. JSando pumped up the tyres on the deadly treadlies and we dusted off the cobwebs. Drove to somewhere about half way between Axedale and Bendigo and then tossed a coin to decide which direction to ride in. The coin toss pointed us toward Bendigo. Thanks for bringing us to this pretty part of our State. We enjoyed a fairly slow 21.5km ride, leapfrogging caches on the way out and picking up the missed one's on the way back. Most caches were great. One the clips were broken off the lid so it didn't clip on, and was left laying in the open where it filled with water and as luck would have it, the log book was not in the snap lock bag Another was saturated with no bag inside. JSando made a note on those caches as we travelled. The weather was gorgeous. We didn't encounter any nasties and passed few other riders. Very peaceful. We're looking forward to coming back to travel the other direction.

On an awesome day with the Geo misses (carKisser) enjoying a beautiful part of our country on this lovely bike ride today thank you for bringing us to this area.

It was cool

Always driven past and wondered what this building was......now I know! Great hide!

Nice Day out for a family outing to do some cache finding. TFTC.

Easy find. Log wet! TFTC

Staying in heathcote for the night and decided to grab a couple of caches. This was the first one. Needs new log - log wet and full

In between jobs and officially unemployed for 2 days for the first time in 25 years, I planned a long drive to collect some caches. The object was to qualify for the Trad Multi Puzzle state challenge that I thought I had qualified for but turned out I had not found a Multi in NSW... This cache was quickly found once I checked it was not a regular but instead a micro and changed my search! Thanks to Dasies of the Galaxy for placing this cache.

Hmm, think the surveyors home needs at least 2 coats of paint to bring it back to its former glory!!!
Log is full and wet. Needs CO to have a visit. Awesome hide. TFTC

Great spot

Loved the location of this one. What a great house!!! Such a shame that it's fallen into its current state, would be great to see it restored one day but maybe too far gone sadly. A fav point from us. SL TFTC

Found but logbook is wet

Wet

On a little road trip with a friend on a day off from uni. Decided to stop off and do some geocaching while exploring.
Log is damaged and might need to be replaced.
Good hide

Great little hide! Follow us on Instagram Bae.bae.australia.geocaching

Staying at the caravan park overnight grabbed a couple while having a
wander around. Thanks Dasies of The Galaxy FTC. Log is wet and falling
apart needs some TLC.

Good little hide. Cache was open at one end. Log was loose and able to fall out of cache when in position. I made a small "plug" for the end of the cache. Cache returned to hiding spot. TFTHSL

Got it

Pretty cool old place. If I was living there I'd have the top room as my bedroom!! It would be awesome!! tftc

Kenbryl was reluctant to get out of the Georig into the heat for this one until I mentioned ice cream!! Cache was soon found, logged and replaced. Hmmm now to find icecream!! Tftc

Good hiding spot!

What a great place to look at. Cache was found quickly. Cigc. Tftc

In Heathcote this afternoon with McLookers, enjoying the township and the variety of caches on hand. Thanks for the interesting read and the cache.

Interesting piece of history, a quick find at GZ today.

Good find while geocaching in the area.
Enjoyed visiting this location.
Thanks for placing this cache. SL

Quick find after reading the history. Great old place and great hide.TFTC

Find # 3461 @ 00:21

Found while heading home from doing a solo trip around the "LEG" caches.

The lack of muggle activity made this one an easy grab

TFTC Dasies of the Galaxy

After tasting a few wines in town we decided to visit the wine and food festival at the show grounds, but on the way we came across this bit of history and decided it needed investigation. Interesting bit of engineering which didn't fool us revealed the cache at 12:35. A bit worried about losing the log as we replaced it. Thanks again (again) Dasies

Wow what a nice building. I hope they try to restore the building! TFTC

#1953 Doing a round trip to Bendigo from Melbourne so took the opportunity to pick up a few caches. We have driven past here hundreds of times and we can't believe we have just not noticed this old house. Very interesting to read the history and very impressed with the hide. That's what we really enjoy about caching - it takes you to places well worth visiting. A fav from us. Thanks Dasies of the Galaxy.
