Unfortunately, as there has not been a response to the last request/s to attend to this cache, or provide regular updates, the cache is being de-listed on the basis that it has been abandoned by the Cache Owner.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained here: [**Unarchive a geocache**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56). If there are components or remnants of the cache, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). 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.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

I've noticed this cache is carrying a maintenance log which really does need to be addressed by the cache owner.

The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) within 14 days,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?

You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:

- Check on the cache, repair and/or replace the cache 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.

- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (within 14 days). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. For ongoing issues (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to speed.

- 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 those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) it on the basis that it has been abandoned.

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.

No luck and too spooked to venture further after snake enciunter

Lovely little place out here but DNF

Took a look but no luck.

No luck here today

With 3 dnf’s maybe the CO could take a look and confirm if the cache is still here.

Looked but no find

Looked but no success (:

Find #4594

Since I did the Oxfam Trailwalker event (and numerous training walks prior) with Lost_and_Found_79 we have threatened to arrange a caching day out together. We finally agreed on the Grand Final public holiday and we headed south east to an area where neither of us had found many caches previously. There was a few rain showers around at this time but as with others nearby we were able to park close to this one. I searching focussing on one particular area whilst L&F79 took a different approach and was rewarded with this find. Cue discussion about the relativity of the term ‘near’ as a hint for a geocache. Our fourteenth find in a busy day of 35 total finds and a couple of DNFs. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache JustinStewart.

Annoying Tarbit and I decided to head to this area today for some caching. It ended up being quite eventful, with a rather diverse range of caches attempted (and mostly found!).

This cache wasn't quite where we were thinking it would be, and I do wonder if it has suffered from a little cache creep over the years. The container had a bit of water inside, but the log didn't seem to be too bad. Whilst AT signed the log, I emptied out the water and tried to make the cache a little drier. Tucked back where it was found with hopefully a little more protection from the elements. TFTC

Was a little difficult to find.

????

Nice little hiding spot, it was good fun!

Was nice and simple. Lovely little creek we loved the snow man!

Great find

Easy find. A bit wet

Good little spot!

Found by Chick One, in company with Chick 2 & the whole Chookies clan. Cache contents were a little damp. Dried out, signed log, took nothing left nothing, thanks for the cache.

Pretty estate and nice river. The cache itself was a bit water damaged. Thank you for the cache, found with Chookies.

Today was a full day of work meetings in Korumburra. After that was all done I took advantage of the long summer evening to find a few caches around the place and on my way back to my hotel in Warragul. A nice quick find here with the help of the hint. TFTC, Biggles.

Out at coal creek and found this hard to find cache

Found at 10:44 AM GAFF1 in the company of xambo4u..
As we were searching for this cache a lady was busy feeding her cattle - must have been special food to fatten them up quicker as they were on a large paddock with plenty of grass.
Thanks JustinStewart.

Out and about with pprass for a short run around our favourite camp site. This town has a real country feel about it. We had the local attending their pet cows while we were looking casually at GZ Nice easy find
Thanks for the cache lustinStewart.

A quick and easy find!

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.

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!

What a rather private, pretty little spot, can imagine it would still feel cool here even on a warm day. Cache was in the first place we looked. A bit damp inside so we tipped the water out and dried the cache as best we could. The log in the ziplock is soggy but we were able to sign the new log okay. TFTC

100th find! Wahoo! TFTC

Found it!

????

TFTC. Signed and returned.

Nice spot nice and peaceful

This one was quite wet inside and could do with some new paper. But a nice cache!

Today we explored Korumburra and surrounds using Geocaching as a guide and picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them. An easy find.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Caching day because the weather was great
Found it And the log was soak paper
Thanks JustinStewart - ShaneO'neill

I did not find this as easy to find as other people. Log was too wet to sign.

Very wet underfoot. Thank goodness for kids as I sent them down hill near sign to find. Needs TLC. Container wet and so is log book. TFTC!

Very pretty creek, with a easily accessible cache

Found on a one month road trip around Australia. Sorry for the generic log. TNLNSL TFTC

.

It was pretty obvious

Out with the Swaggies at 17 February 2017 1:07 PM find 1437. Stopped here for a spot of lunch. Nice quiet location.

Outcaching with Yorsys today collecting a few caches around here.
We arrived at GZ to an easy find and after a quick look around decided to stay for lunch.
TFTC JustinStewart - ShaneO'neill

Found it

Got to GZ and found the cache OK. It was just lying on the ground wiwth the lid off but all seemed to be otherwise in good shape. Needless to say I replaced the lid and re-hid the cache.

Took out the old saturated log. Replaced he shopping bag with a zip lock bag.
TB is not there as stated in inventory

Found it but it's super wet as the container wasn't shut properly. Tried to replace it but the best we had in the car was a shopping bag so the log is now wrapped up in the shopping bag but the original log is still in the container.

Found it

Found it!

Cute creek

After realising that the path from the last cache in this series did not continue to this cache MSL and I hiked around the backstreets with fully loaded prams to this gz. We were definitely feeling the strain in the triceps by the time we conquered some of those hills though and I can tell you now that the walk back to main St almost killed us! This was a nice quick find and the geokids were excited to see the contents but unfortunately it was just a replacement log and a puddle of water inside. May need a little TLC this one. Thanks for the cache

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!

A lovely location however the steep descent to it meant we had a task ahead of us when we left! Kato performed the finding while keeping an eye on the toddlers who seemed keen on getting close to the edge of the creek. Sadly, the cache itself has seen better days though the log is dry thanks to lilmissgeo89's efforts. The geocoin listed as being in here is also not present. TFTC JustinStewart.

This is a tranquil little location tucked away at the edge of suburbia. A quick find and then a wander over to the nearby table to sign the log. Thanks to someone adding another dry log, I was able to add my name.

Thanks to Justin Stewart and Shane O'neill for placing this cache and bringing me to this location.

Unfortunately found this one without the lid on full of water and no log book to sign lucky my caching bag stays in the car after tipping out the water i added a replacement log with a ziplock back as have hidden it a bit better then what it was to save this happening again. With geodude#74

Good find by Remy. Log very wet.

Nice find. Cache and logbook was wet, so will need to be replaced. Apart from that, it is all fine. Dropped off geocoin. TFTC

Very damp.

Easy to find

Cute area

Found with taurus1955 and BentleyTB. Container was very dirty, but contents okay. Nice hide. TFTC

Found whilst out and about with misschief18 and Bentley TB - very wet underfoot but, a very easy cache to find on a cold blustery day. Our last for the day as it was getting very very cold by now. Altghough the log is dry the container is quite dirty and covered with bugs

Found

Suscoe had a bit of exploration work today trying to find a good number of caches that we missed this week as we were wandering the countryside of this area.
We are enjoying wandering the country roads and taking in the farmland scenes around here, Some fine looking cattle too.
A cloudy start to the day with drizzle keeping things cool, a strong wind at times and later on some delightful sunshine too.
8th find of the day.
A delightful location and we stopped here for a cuppa.
Thanks to JustinStewart for placing this cache here.

Quick find tflc

Found it! Nice and easy, thanks for the cache

That was a great find. Pretty exciting!

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there JustinStewart. We found your cache "Foster Creek" at 11:18:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 12605.
[Blue]
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: We took some soggy rubbish out of the cache.
Left: A Smiley Badge if the cache was large enough.

Thanks for the hunt,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

Found it, nice and easy to find

I had the best diversion btw

We found this cache today at 12:45pm as number 8 of 28 on our Burra and Gatha Melbourne Cup Day Tour. "S" spotted this one straight away at this pretty little spot. Thanks from D & S B-A.

Easy find, needs new log as its wet. Tftc

Cool cache. Although the log book is soaked and will need another couldn't write. Beautiful place nevertheless Thankyou for taking us there

Found it but log book wet.

Found it finally, but log still sodden and unable write in log.

Easy find, but log was soaked and couldn't be signed. Thanks for bringing us here.

The cache was filled with water. Everything in it was soaked including the log. It was impossible to sign.

We started to walk to this one from the other end of the project but were beaten by the Korumburra Hills. So we waited until we got the car back from the garage and then headed out to look for this one. It was an easy find but we were unable to sign the log book as it was too wet to write on.

Very water logged! Couldn't write on it! Great spot

Found at the end of a very wet day.
Its a very wet log book in a very wet cache. Needs TLC please.
A nice little park to wander in all this same - once the sun comes out.
Thanks and cheers!

Find number 1364 on 15 Aug 2015 at 2:00 pm.
A really pretty little spot. The wattles were in full bloom, and the bees were out, gorgeous. Cache is in really bad shape and needs urgent attention. Log is pulp.
Thank you very much for placing a cache here.

Cache is waterlogged and in need if some TLC.

It was a bit wet just needs a clean up it was fun to look for

That was really easy.
