Hi there Sirillion,

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 placement - 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)

On my morning walk I passed by here and also couldn't find it.

Please check this Cache still exists, thanks. Lots of DNF logs over last 18 months.

Doesn’t seem to be there at all and had a good look around.

Don’t think it’s there anymore

Yes had a suspicious inspections and couldn’t find anything

Seems to be gone
Had someone who’s previously got it
And they said it’s no longer there either

Looked for a while didn’t find it.

Hard to find. Magnet is gone. Love the crochet! Found 5/9/19

A little bit of effort to find. Not magnetised. Found with beezy73. TFTC

Nice quick find

TFTC

Quick find. Magnet is missing.

Searched all the poles couldn’t find after 2 searches

Tried to find this one 3 times over the weekend with no luck. Tried all 3 options but sadly no luck. Will be back next year

I trusted the gps but could not find this cache. I hope to be back at a quieter time

Foun it! Had a great day wandering with the Walkabouters and after dinner at a nearby establishment, we made a quick find in the second place we looked! TFTC SL

No luck for us today - felt rather conspicuous as we felt around/under all the flag poles. Will try again another day

Almost 7 years this cache has been here.... except for the day I look for it. Unless it's under a different flagpole but the one that matches my map and gps is emptyno wonder I hate urban caching

Persistence paid off on locating this tiny cache! Great hide.

I didn't look suspicious at all stood here drinking a coffee & searched until I found it TFTC

Nach etwas Suchen tat ich den entscheidenden Griff und hielt danach den cache in meinen Händen. TFTC

After having bought a coffee at the nearby McDonalds and bring bailed up by a couple of locals looking for the JB Hifi, n0w0rries and I continued up the street to GZ.
We tried the usual tricks and weren't successful. Being a Sunday afternoon I thought I was fairly safe in using Mk 1 eyeballs. Yep, found it and carried off to a bench to sign our names.

With a cup of coffee in hand and a relatively quiet main street we began our search.
It wasn't long before leafotwind found this sneaky little blighter.
Loved the mural over the road. Always a fan of trestle bridges.
Thanks for the cache Sirillion.

An easy find early in the morning when the streets were deserted.
TFTC

Turned out to be a nice quick find with the family smart rule never act suss and no one takes notice signed and replaced before any one noticed tftc

Found on a lovely Saturday afternoon tftc found with teammoss5 and apple460

27/02/2018 - 12.14am - Find No. 911 - 1st for the day with non-geo son doing his hoverboard thing while I hunted & signed.
Collected on the way back home after babysitting my grandies. NGS told me I 'had to' after he'd found it the other day after remembering us talking about it. After a few failed attempts at this one, 2 because of muggles even though I tried at night & the other after a really good search the find was surprising easy this time. I have to admit the last time I looked with Geogran1937 & then with dgfb33 assisting when we didn't get it, was with no finding equipment & only a pen 'just in case'. This time there was no muggle trouble at all. I think there were two cars parked in the whole street & only that number passed during the signing time & no pedestrians at all although NGS did give me a few starts when he 'hovered' past, thought it was muggles until I showed surprise & he said 'It's just me' then a little later 'It's just me, again'.
Having lighting & other helpful things the little blighter showed itself almost immediately. I think we tried too hard last time, , my excuse. Such a tiny log I managed to abbreviate the date to date & month & also my geocaching name to cb13. Didn't want to take up too much space.
Now I will have a nice set of smiley faces on my geo-map instead of an annoying blue sad face Signed, sealed & returned as found. Thanks for the cache

A DNF from us today

CZECH
navštívili jsme městečko, když jsme projížděli, vyprali jsme naproti, nakoupili a najedli se
keška bez problému, nikde ani mudla, všichni asi byli na pláži... takže pro mě to bylo D1/T1

Found it. Very tiny

Good find with Bianx

Good one

This one proved to be a tricky hide even before considering the muggles. It was missed on the first couple of passes before something moved and we made the find. We added our initials and re hid. TFTC.

This cache corresponded nicely to the hint. The log was completely full, and I think it had been that way for a fair while, so we signed and inserted a new log. Now, if only this town sold Diet Coke, it would be excellent! Three shops and I finally found some TFTC Sirillion

Had a good look. Virtually stood on my head. No cache.

Sadly a DNF for this one today. Had a good search in between muggles.

while doing geocaches around wonthaggi we thought why dont we have a look at this one perfect thx sirillion

The plan was in place today with DAB & the Tritonz to make our way over to Wonthaggi and surrounds to do some caching. We left early to make the most of the day with a long car trip needed and we had a great day out even with the rain, cold & windy conditions. After some dinner we still had a few more caches in us for the day. Under the cover of darkness and with muggles passing us, we made the sneaky find here when the coast was clear. Log full & needs replacing.

**Thanks for this traditional cache Sirillion**
**Smile # 5121**

Friday saw another caching trip planned, with the combined teams of The_Tritonz, Na'wal and myself. An early start was on the cards for the long journey to the Bass Coast. The weather was a mixed bag all day, with it changing from rain to sunshine frequently. The wind was very strong as well, but you have to expect that in this neck of the woods. Once again, there was great variety of hides. It's always a pleasure to cache here and we are already planning our next trip !!
After striking out on my last visit, I wanted to make amends tonight. It was Na'wal who made the sneaky retrieval, well done son. Now I have a smiley face on the map !! TFTC Sirillion

Tricky one to get but we got it

Took a while to put a hand on it. Lots of passers- by. TFTC

Found it whilst "tying the ol' shoe" TFTC

Good hide. By far the smallest I found in my short career

TFTC!

Tiny bit of luck.

REALLY needs a new log, it's chockers.

With the rest of the clan shopping for socks and shoes
I dashed up the road to grab a quick cache

Sadly no room for a signature

We found your cache Ludsbrook Corner after the event at the pub.

Cache needs new log.
Thanks Sirillion for the cache!

Found after attending the New Years event at the Club. Nice to get a smiley for this one. TFTC

After completing a night cache, we were heading back through Wonthaggi to our accommodation in Inverloch when we decided to pull over and find this one. Thankfully, having night cached, I had my ALDI blinding torch of glory which really helped in the search for this nano. In the end, it wasn't precisely where the GPS said, but we got there, extracted the log and it's chockers. TFTC Sirillion.

This weekend marked the second of the much anticipated KAKAGA trips (Kate and Kelly's Amazing Geocaching Adventures). Mummy Short Legs and I were both very excited to be given the opportunity to spend almost two full days together with nothing but a vehicle, our bikes and our GPSs for company. We were not going to let soaring temperatures or bucketloads of flies stop us, we were going to cache our way around the Inverloch/Wonthaggi area till we dropped (or until the geohusbands begged for our return at least!).

We completed a local night cache but despite still being exhausted and filthy from a day of caching and a trip to the hospital for a spider bite not to mention two events we couldn't pass up the opportunity to get a couple more caches from the high muggle areas during the cover of dark. This was the first one we attempted and it took several tries and multiple similar locations with a mega-watt torch assisting at times to locate it. It wasn't where our GPS was directing us which complicated the search slightly but we were happy to finally pull it out. Unfortunately, after sourcing some extraction tools, we found that the log was actually too full to be signed Thanks for the hide Sirillion!

20170107 Cool. Nice night to be out.. TFTC
Note: log very full.

It is tiny

Woah!!! Took out the

Out caching with the McLookers and With NYE upon us the town was very quiet making for a nice quick find.
Thanks Sirillion for the cache.

Not many muggles NYE! Thanks Sirillion, found with The Tritonz.

If you're unsure, just ask around a little bit. Seems to be a little secret amongst shopkeepers. TFTC

Well we made this challenging for ourselves. 2pm Friday afternoon on a glorious day. Hubby kept dropping stuff but it was all good when the cache was in hand and signed. Log was so full but squeezed it on

Tiny tiny tiny 6-3=???

Log is completely full. Scratched my initials in a blank spot. Couldnt fit the date in.

Quick cache while doing the opshop rounds. Managed a tiny 'kat' on the log. Many thanks

Yes, the old undone shoelace trick was used for this one.
TFTC

Managed to use the oldest trick in the cachers handbook to grab this one. Lot of history on this corner of town. Thanks Sirillion for placing one here.

YAY - found it today while out on a drive around South Gippsland. I found the cache quickly this afternoon as this corner of town was relatively muggle free BUT I struggled to find a spot to sign - the log is full. Thanks for your caching efforts Sirillion - I just signed my initials and my tour of South Gippsland continued.

Good hide. Didn't get the log out as others had said it was full.

Fun find!
Really needs a new log; no room to sign.

no where to sign

Here from outta town for a gig at the Theatre and out grabbing a few random GCs where I can. Seeing as this one is right outside the venue I couldn't resist as its dark and very low muggle. TFTC but man it desperately needs the log replaced!!
#147

Requires replacement log.

Really quick find - just lucky i guess - out on a girl date to see Evita and couldnt resist the find tflc

After a disappointing end to the afternoon along Williamsons Beach with multiple DNFs on caches that I really wanted, it was time to settle down at the local Maccas for some 'nourishment', and free WiFi
So after checking emails I headed out after midnight, after the rain had finally turned to drizzle.
Firstly a taxi driver was exercising his right to park wherever he wanted, and GZ was directly ahead of him, so I took a walk around the block, and eventually he pulled away before I could have my first go at testing my theory of where the cache was hiding.
Sure enough, found @ 0145, GAFF1. The container is not 'intact' any more, so the paper was pretty crumby. Still able to write my name on it, BUT it definitely NEEDS MAINTENANCE!
Will be able to add a bookmark for the Night Caching elective #6.

Lots and lots and lots of muggles in the vicinity this morning thanks to the markets. geoD finally made the find in a place that geoP had already searched.

This one should make doubly sure this Victorian Road Atlas tile is ticked off.

TNLN SL TFTC

Got it finally! Log too full to find a patch to sign. Needs Maintenance.

Suscoe's 12th find of the day on this run around the town.
Had checked this out a number of times using the GPS and google maps to narrow down the right spot to do what we needed to do as quickly as we could.
Took advantage of a break in the traffic and all was done.
Thanks to Sirillion for placing this cache here.

Found in the later evening so not too busy with muggles, very exciting find, thanks

No muggles issues here at the moment , soon had the little blister at hand. Log need replacing as its full. TFTC

Walk past unknowingly all the time, quick find of an evening but wouldn't like to try during the day : ) TFTC

Found it with Mrs Iamapom, my in-laws One-eyed & Mrs One-eyed and Woody the Geo-dog.
We were on a day trip for the big event in Wonthaggi, and there was a quick coffee break nearby.
"Ooooh there's a cache 62m away.... let's do it !"
TFTC

After completing the nearby rail trail on bikes, quiet1_au, GJMMelb and I decided to find a few more caches. I found this cache quickly, after the dinner event. TFTC

A quick find by lochb, PrincessDiala and/or coleybabee (I forget exactly who grabbed it now...) after an enjoyable evening event nearby. Nice and quiet on the streets at night so no muggle problems other than one walker and a patrolling police car. TFTC

En- route to the Wonthaggi New Years Event , Mrs one-eyed, our Son In Law Imapom and our Daughter Mrs Imapom and their Geodog Woody stopped for a breather, then found this cache.
TFTC
one-eyed

Found with others after the event as we walked back to our cars. At 9.30 at night there were very few people around. Thanks Sirillion
GJMMelb

Found after New Years event
TFTC
Log full needs new one

Found by Geochild while geoparents pretended to go to bank. Nobody takes any notice if Geochild looking is peering in little hidy holes. Thanks. Silkyie

Plenty of people out and about at 7.45am New Year's Day. Great hide and TFTC. Happy new Year

I ended up coming up to Wonthaggi to come to the events and meet up with a few geobuddys and find a heap of caches witch has been great fun. Thanks to Vanessa&adoh n0w0rries mark&kelly for meeting up and thanks to therustys for getting me a place to stay.

Difficult to look cool retrieving this cache in the middle of Wonthaggi. We managed the feat because it was just after shop closing time on a weekday and no doubt everyone was rushing to get home. Tftc.

What can I say, the Bendigo Bank was a saviour to Victorians especially in rural and outer suburban areas when the State Bank capitulated. Nice hide.

Thought we had a thorough look, but no luck for us
Some young muggle started aggressively cursing the ATM, so thought it was time to get out of there.

On a road trip while over for the Melbourne Mega.
Thanks for adding to the enjoyment of this trip.

TFTC

Lots of muggles around but managed to snag it quickly without too much attention

Great spot. Muggle City...

Found finally took a while with ashweesway

Took abit to find

Found it!

Omg that one was hard ...lol..

It was hard to locate but was fun
