Hi there Waterex,

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 cache - 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)

Sorry still not found

Rats no luck for us tonight

Stopped in here as part of our Great Western County Hunt. It has been a truly incredible trip, as I managed to pick up the last four counties I needed to fill in my NSW county map. A super exciting thing to complete. Thanks for enabling our crazy adventures. Thanks for the cache.

Adding to the list of dnfs. Searched around gz and widened the search. Pretty sure it is missing.

Still no where to be seen.

Adding our DNFs to the list. Maybe next time !

Been back a few times with others who found this a while ago but couldn't find it

We to couldn't locate it after looking high and low.

DNF at 11:13 AM.
Back to rectify a DNF from 2 years ago and guess what! Another DNF. Looked all over but just couldn't locate it.

Found it, out by 10 metres

Found but coordinates are out by 10 meters

Easy find

Fairly easy tftc

Cache found without any problems, My coords were abit off from where the cache was found, but it was pretty easy to find. All looks to be in good order. Thanks for the cache.

TFTC . Book needs to be replaced

Cool

A nice quick find for miss 7 to find.

Quickly found. Tftc

A late start and needed to do a few things incl buying and dropping off a big box of chocolate then decided to grab the Gol Gol caches

Missed the bleeding obvious and scooted into the shrubbery where I found a $5 note... Oooh! Hot coffee funds! (but miss my fave barista). Soon realised the coords were out and wandered back to some stuff lying around. Odd hide but then you get that Less likely to be muggled in the country. Loggy is soggy needs some TLC.

Figured out on the road later in the day Things may actually be coming together.

TFTC

A cache with its own large empty car park.

Thanks for the cache Waterex.
Found on 4/3/20 at 3:58 pm.
Find #10757.

Traveling wilberries at it again and evilracing

Evilracing found this tonight was a fun find feat travelling wilberries

A quick find, muggle free approached, Thanks for the smiley face. Cache all okay.

Quick easy find by geokid miss 8 in our 3 state in a day challenge while driving back to Sydney from Adelaide - we just made it before midnight!

Day 2 of this years Christmas holiday trip. On our way to Adelaide collecting answers to one of the windmill cache multi's. A quick find, grabbed TB, thanks Waterex.

It was in a small container

Suscoe headed out late this afternoon to find a few more caches before the end of the day.
We are enjoying all that Mildura has to offer and the caches are fun.
It was a very different day today with some rain overnight and during the day with much cooler temperatures.
We appreciated the cooler weather.

Thanks to Waterex for this hide,
The highway was busy while we were here.

Nice easy find

A quick search had not much so a read if logs suggesting cords were a tad off had a quick find. No dramas though, this was a quick easy find.

Trip log... GreyHams log says it best, in all its glorious detail... so it really is, 'What he said!'

With GreyHams we set out for another chapter of our caching challenge... To find all the counties in NSW. We flew into Adelaide early Friday morning with a return plane from Melbourne Monday night. Taking advantage of some super cheap car hire driving one way from Adelaide to Melbourne. Of course, as a four day road trip it leads into collecting as many counties as was possible as we pass through SA and Victoria as well, with a few side trips for those that were close enough.

The counties a high priority but many caches of interest, the oldies are always great, about 16 2001 caches found plus many others just as old. Web Cams, virtuals, great DT which would see us complete our fifth loop of the DT grid, large caches and lots of regular sizes too. The trip list also included a cache type of each we were missing for each state as well.

Simply, if we stopped for a cache that had made it onto the list, it was not just any random cache, it was selected for a quality of some type we were seeking.

One of the harder things about caching after flying somewhere is that all the TOTT are left behind...usually! So it just had to be done and we took an esky with us on the plane for all those fabulous cold drinks along the way.

The thing I love the most is that we also took a ladder with us on the plane too!

We had targeted the 'on your bike' wherigo series, so many puzzles, so many hours of them so the ladder was important if we wanted to find all the high DT, up the tree caches... which we did! Later in Ballarat we went 'above and beyond' with the ladder once again. A truly essential item to have, we may now need to invest in that inflatable Kayak for future adventures too!

Perhaps it must be said that our route was the least direct way we could have traveled via the Hay Plains and Griffith, but covered a lot of road, counties and locations leading to yet another great trip. Although a number of park and grabs, made closer by our reliable and tough SUV, we also managed a lot of walks, hills, bush, and just a great variety as we explored the different areas.

We crossed the Murray river many times, a lovely healthy looking river system. After our recent trip from Adelaide to Sydney, via Broken Hill and Bourke the dry rivers out there are a very sad sight compared with the Murray.

With so much achieved that we had set out for it was a very successful trip but also an enjoyable one with many memories made and a new batch of stories too! Thanks to all the CO's for there caches that lead us in our travels.

Coords a little off, but found in a logical spot

Generic trip log follows
******************
Aquilus1 and myself are on a mission.... to collect all of the counties in NSW! but how to get to those 'hard to reach' ones from where we are in Canberra? It would be an awfully long round trip. The answer was supplied in the super cheap car rental deals available if you drive one-way from Adelaide to either Sydney or Melbourne... I guess too many cars do it the other way and the cars need to get back somehow. Flying to ADL on points meant fuel was by far the biggest transport cost we paid for.

This trip is actually trip number two.... to drive from ADL to MEL, via Hay & Griffith! Yeah, thats logical! It was fun explaining where we were going to people, we got a lot of strange looks. The first trip was ADL to SYD, via Bourke. The bonus of course is we have also cleaned up a lot of SA & VIC counties as well.

OK, so primary goal is counties but we of course had 5 or 6 goals. Oldies was definitely a priority, I think we picked up 16 hides from 2001 on the trip along with lots of 2002-2006's. D/T of course is never overlooked and we did well there, I think we will almost complete our fifth loop from this trip. Webcams, Virtuals and Wherigo's were all targetted and finally getting all cache types in each state.

Day 1 was us arriving in ADL at sparrows, with a ladder and esky that we checked in and driving as far as Barmera. We cleaned up the 'On Your Bike' series where the ladder really fulfilled its purpose (I never want to see another online jigsaw again!) and even stopped to grab the LBH on the way out.... after 9:30pm, and after I attacked the dirt road with my body and left a lot of skin on it. Note to self: dont lunge at dirt roads! Luckily the hotel in town was open and we obtained fine lodgings. The floor creaked when I looked at it, or breathed, or changed my mind, but the bed was the finest.

Day 2 was driving to Hay, apparently on their biggest day of the year! No motel had rooms but luckily the new hotel that was supposed to open next week was forced into opening on the very day we arrived.... I like fresh sheets but how about a bed that has never been slept in! The crossed the Murray about 5 times and it was always impressive. We saw the country side change hugely from Rivers, Mallee and the Hay plain.

Day 3 was going from Hay, around Griffith and actually turning south towards Melbourne.... it felt like a long way! We cleaned up a bunch of the counties, in fact all of them, west of and including Naranderra. My map on Project-GC is going to look so green! We got as far as the outskirts of Bendigo, stopping at the first Motel we saw.... it was better than it looked!

Day 4 was getting to the airport, which we did with heaps of time to spare. Checkin closed a huge 18 minutes after our arrival. Damn, we could have grabbed another cache in that time. Ladder back in its box and checked in. I love the fact we took our own ladder!

Now safely back at home I am already suffering from caffeine withdrawal, but thats the price you pay for living on Coke for 4 days.

Sorry for the long generic log, but it was a fun trip and I wanted to share.

Easy find

Got it. Cords are a bit out but box is ok

On our way home from our long weekend in Mildura and as our motel was just up the road in Gol Gol we couldn't just drive past this one without turning it into a smilie. My GPS had me standing out on the road closer to the intersection but Mrs P's was much closer so I helped her search and soon found it. Nice hide, log slightly damp but otherwise ok. Thx waterex for the cache.

Nice easy find. Thanks

Found this with my wonderful long suffering muggle husband. Not sure if it was supposed to be where it was but GPS was only out a few metres. Some new landscaping had been done and some trees removed so could be the reason. TFTC TNLNSL

Thank you! This was my first find.
Was very excited!

Tftc

WE FOUND IT!! This is our first and We’ve been looking for one all night. Pretty easy find.

Quick find here whilst over the border...

Thanks

Easy find with Rohkad, deserted carpark at night time thankfully. Tftc

Quick road side stop whilst heading west.

Cheers

Wow thanks for the cache

We spent the better part of three weeks travelling, seeing the sights, visiting with friends, and caching the best Australia had to offer!
Where ink was required, we signed the log as "221B".
All the best to those who place and maintain caches for others to find (without you, there is no game to play)!
Cheers!

Quick find today with Team 221B️. Thanks.

Quick find for team 221B️. We are a group of cachers from Texas. Stopping for a few caches on our way to Sydney. TFTC.

A quick find while passing through

.

Thanks for the hide. New ,log book needed

Easy find off hwy. Hard to avoid muggles driving past.

After a fantastic time at the evening 3 x 3 event at the Workmen's Club we started heading back to the caravan park with The Coffee's and thought that we would pop back across the border to grab a traditional cache so that we would have at least two types of caches in three states in one day.

As this one was the closest and we also assumed that the community centre would be shut at this time of night, this was the logical choice. Once at gz we could see that there had been quite a bit of work done in the gardens and our hopes started to fade when we looked in the two likely locations that we thought that a cache may be.
We read the logs and saw that it had been found today so we expanded our search slightly and uncovered the well hidden cache and happily added our names to the log.

Thanks Waterex for the cache.

On the way back to the caravan park with team Crackers after a great event and dinner we decided to stop for this cache along the way well sort of along the way.
The cache was found easily and logged and soon it will be rum time around the table.
Our thanks to Waterex for the cache,
Regards
The Coffee's

In Mildura for a few events grabbing caches for a few days while in the area. TFTC

Found after a event close by

It was pitch dark when we arrived here after a long drive from Loxton in the dark. I was determined to get three caches in one day today and this was the last one. I followed the finding device lead me to one spot . A quick search revealed nothing so we moved elsewhere. Then I remembered the hint and went back to the original location. Soon we found what we were looking for very cleverly hidden.

Today I made my way west to Mildura picking up a few selected caches along the way.

This one was pretty much just a park and grab as I was passing.

Thanks Waterex for the cache.

Find #2 for the day in NSW A quick find and sign at 09:16 on Tue 23/4/19.

All is fine and dry within the cache [^]

Find #3500

Good good

No luck for me and the geo kids today. We didn’t stay too long as the temp was rising fast. Will take another look another time!

Thankyou. This was Jordy’s first find.

Found it about 15m from GZ TFTC

Another find for the go-caching Dynamic Duo - LadyBug3500 and The Combat Wombat!!!

Bour our GPSs took us to a spot about 10 - 12m from the actual cache so have a look around!!!

Easy found with the CW the mate who introduce me to geocache and from that time on I am geo addicted
Windy but not hot
GPS was a slightly misleading 3500

When looking towards GZ it is not the obvious spot.
TFTC Waterex.

Found on a holiday in Mildura. On a mission to get to 500. As this hobby is only a holiday hobby, we need to make the most of it when we can. Tftc

Good one

Found. Said I was 6m away from it so it took a bit of looking around

Pelusa found it.

#2110 Taking the long way from Melbourne to Adelaide via Mildura and stopping here and there to pick up some caches. Thanks to Waterex for this one.

Quick, easy find

TFTC. Out with Moroldies.

Quick find while out with little blue wren,TFTC

We made an amazing tour from Adelaide to Coober Pedy and Flinders Ranges, today we said Goodbye zu SA and Hello to NSW with a short touch of VIC. Was fun to find Caches in three states on one single day!
We used the stop for a little coffee break and of course, to find the box.
Thanks for hiding, redgecco

Signed as team DTY. On a cacaching trip with Dty73 & Tankengine to Yorke Peninsula. Quick park & grab. Kutgw

Found with dty73 and youban on our way to the Yorke peninsula. Logs signed as DTY (dty73/tankengine/youban). Nice quick find here, thanks Waterex.

We have a small team travelling to The Yorke Peninsula in South Australia from Canberra. It was decided by the group before we left that our team name would be DTY, although I act like the boss, I rarely am and so the initials actually stand for - dty73, Tankengine & Youban.

This was the last cache for the day, before heading to book into the motel and have some dinner.

The road although busy with peak hour about to start, but still quiet enough for us to cross and park on the car park right at the cache. As I got out of the car I could see the cache from the car park. Soon had it signed and placed back in its hide with a little more camo to keep this one a little more hidden. Tftc Waterex!!!

Found it before heading to Wagga Wagga
TFTC

Quite possible is not in original location

Found it easy, was completely uncovered.

Found on our trip home from Mildura with Mum/becca85. A looooong drive but lots of caches to break it up for us. TFTC

My 87 year old Nana is unwell so neisha07 and I are off on the 4.5 hour trip to Mildura to see her. (6+ hour trip for us with stops for caching!)
We detoured via Wycheproof on the way there then back home a couple of days later via 2 of the Silo's that hadn't been done when last we traveled in this direction.
A nice little getaway. TFTC
Found this one exposed, attempted to cover a bit better.

**# 22492** Found on our 2018 mega trip from NSW to QLD, the NT, SA and beyond.
A fine warm Spring day for a trip around town while at Mildura for a few days.
Many muggles around today and mostly good quick finds.
I found it 9m from my GZ in an obvious place. And that makes a find in 3 states today.
Thanks for the cache Waterex,

Day #2 of Fergzters trip to Renmark. Today all four of us travelled from Gol Gol to Wentworth and then back into Victoria to head across the border. Finally we have managed to geocache in three states in one day. This was our first stop of the day and like the last log we found the cache exposed. I think a critter might be helping make this cache easier for us. All is well with the hide. TFTC Waterex

Had no trouble finding this cache as a part of it was uncovered - it is well covered now! Good spot and the area was not too busy this pm.
TFTC Waterex

GZ seems Deseret and bare except for bark chips. The small stumps from previous veigitation mentioned in an earlier log are there but that is all. Suggest it needs looking into by CO.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

I was in Mildura for a couple of days and picked up this nice cache on the homeward journey. Thank you for placing it near this nice big parking area.

Good find

Found

Pretty easy, needs new log book. Cheers tftc

This cache was found easily with good co ords. The garden area has had an upgrade, watch your step as there are a few sawn off little stumps left exposed! Thanks Waterex.

We're homeward bound after a week in Adelaide and are spending tonight in Mildura. Once we'd checked into our motel, I headed out and grab a cache in both Mildura and Buronga so that I could chalk up finds in three states in one day (we'd stopped for a few in SA on the way here). This was my NSW find, and as I'd hoped when I chose which one to do, it didn't take very long at all for me locate.

Thanks for the smiley Waterex. In case you're not aware, the bush at GZ has been cut back severely, and the cache is now quite visible and accessible to mugggles ... I have therefore thrown some mulch over it to better disguise the hide.

JSando and I headed to Mildura with TheirMum tagging along for the long weekend to host a Geocaching Victoria event to promote The Parkville Event in November. Whilst at the event, we met up with Jaktembo and decided to cache together for the rest of the weekend with this being our first. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in and around Mildura, visiting many different locations that we'd never see otherwise. Thank you so much for bringing us here.

We stopped here on our way into Mildura for breakfast. a nice quick find. TFTC
