Grovedale: Rossack 1# Waurn Ponds, Victoria, Australia
By tnt_trent_130 on 07-Jun-12. Waypoint GC3N2CT

I cannot see any information that suggests to me that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement - one or more of the following applies:

- Cache Owner unable to maintain cache
- No response from the cache owner.
- No cache to find or log to sign.
- It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.
- Cache has been abandoned by cache owner/cache in disrepair

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to also prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include GC number in cache name) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash.

Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

[u]MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?[/u]
[blue]This cache would appear to be in need of owner intervention, therefore I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Geocache maintenance is a cache owner responsibility. Your prompt attention to any log that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers, see here http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance
The guidelines advise; if you can't fix it straight away then Disable it till you can . . . . . . . and here's how; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 . . . . . . . . . . I have disabled it for you [u]this time![/u] [^]

Please respond to this situation by 15th March 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 how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to date, or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.[/blue]

Has this one been removed since new police station opened?

Hasn't been found for a while. Like bamberlamps said it might have been moved when the police station opened.

Vans

Think it may have been removed when the cop shop opened up. No light posts around.

Looked on all the light posts but no luck

Great find!

Quick and easy find.

Found it

Super easy

The hints made this one easy!

Found tonight in the rain. Cache sitting out in the open in a puddle, no magnets inside and no way to secure it to the post. Old log was quite wet but new log (sheet of paper placed as temp log by another cacher) waz dry. Dried contents out as best we could and tried to put it back where it wouldn't get wet, we didn't have any magnets on us to put in. Might need a visit from CO to stop it getting ruined.
Thanks for hiding this cache tnt_trent_130

Quick retrieve, but took awhile toreturndue to muggles

As it was a clear night I set out to grab a few that are to busy during the day, pulled up in near by parking spot, a quick dash to GZ and a quick find.
The log is very wet so I placed a new bag & paper until CO replaces log.
Thanks for the Cache tnt_trent_130

Found this cache in a grey plastic container on the ground next to the lamp post. The log is wet so may need replacing. TFTC

Pretty easy to find

Found with trailrunning on another Monday caching adventure, It was a rather cold one and we put in a few KM's picking up some caches. Thanks tnt_trent_130 for the cache.

On a very cold afternoon and night, Rebel Acts and I collected this cache. One for the adults. Thanks for the find and smilie

Easy find today. Log and inside of plastic bag were a bit damp so dried them as best I could and replaced the cache between passing cars. Thanks for the cache tnt trent 130.

Nice easy find this morning on my way to a meeting in Geelong where I thought I'd collect a few caches along the way. Thanks

Note: Is no longer Eclipse tin (CO may need to update info).

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Good hide Tftc

Good place

Aghhh building sites, road works, cars, bikes and shoppers.....good that it was a quick grab!!! TFTC

Easy find!

Easy find

Good hide! Better to do at night! TFTC

We found this one tonight, after the CITO event.
Thanks for the cache tnt trent 130

A very good one to do at night. A pretty busy area too. Tftc!

We found it but forgot a pen

Found by Lorraine and Chris doing a little caching at night.
TFTC

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Easy find tftc

Yeah. Talk about drive by. Lol

Nice and easy in between muggle mobiles

Found the cache laying on the ground and put back under ankle breaker. Cache Has changed from eclipse tin to some other container



Didn't take anything but did leave a flag


Thanks

Nice, audacious placement. Found on a bike ride from Marshall Station to Anglesea. Tftc.

I need to buy a sat nav I can see the lamp post but my gps wants me metres away. Tftgc

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Found by Andrew, 3/1/14 - TFTC.

Found it!!!

Found it!

A tricky little hide but I think I picked a good time to find it. Apart from the mother and daughter in the car nearby. Some quizzical looks. TFTC

Found [Time to Find: 1 min] 07 December 2013 17:24:31 A quick find after pulling up into the car park, where a bus load of ladies were unloading there what look to be shopping bags into there cars. Must of been one of these Christmas shopping tour groups. To busy to pay us any attention.
JABs.

Picked this one up with Team Crackers while in Geelong for the events.
Thanks tnt_trent 130 for the hide,
Regards The Coffee's

We were heading out with The Coffee's to try our luck at the On the way to the Otways series and we decided to pick up a few local caches on our way out of Geelong, this was the first for the day,
We found a car park close by and took the short stroll to gz where the cache was found in an obvious location.
Thanks tnt_trenta_130 for the cache.

Found this cache as part of my caching trip with JAB's to Victoria's Mornington Pennisula and Geelong area. The 29 hours claimed 158 GC caches and 2 GCA trig points. Some great caches were found and the southern beaches were a highlight.

Spotted the cache from the parking lot. A quick grab and sign of the log. Tftc

Quick drive by at night. Previous attempt at day was no good.

9th for the night! Having a ripper! Only got two left in this series as well! TFTC

Almost a drive by, but parked and had a short walk to GZ. TFTC

Had to make a fast grab here to avoid the muggles driving past (and there are lots of them!). TFTC.

We were out for a day trip to Geelong with the Geo-grandkids and thought we should grab some caches while here.

Ended up getting around 16 caches today.... not bad for a few hours caching

thanks to the CO for this cache

Quick find on a very busy road.
Needed to keep a watch on workers across the road.
TFTC

Watch out for muggles. I was lucky. Tftc:)

Very water logged indeed, but a good one to find.

Super easy! Thanks

Tftc

Found with muggle friend after work. Cache was waterlogged so stuck a piece of paper with my log on it into the cache.

Find #2 for the Owlets - This cache was well hidden, but easy to locate with the Spectacled Owl's keen night-vision. Tawny Owl expressed some discontent at the Spectacled Owl's speedy find, but both were soon back in the car to fill in the log.

Log is quite full and water-damaged, should be replaced soon, as the log has fallen apart into 2 or 3 pieces...

Otherwise a great find, and a good one to do late at night.

A detour on the way home from work. A Quick find at 0003.

This cache is in poor condition including the tape holding magnets in place. The log has been wet at some point and is stuck together.

23 of 31. Little tricky to get when busy

In tact.

Found a week ago but couldn't log it due to soggy logbook, could have been fixed by now though

Same as the last one well done

Found it

Easy find but notepad too wet to write on to log. Good hide either way.

This one really needs some TLC. The log is completely sodden and useless and needs replacing, preferably in a ziplock bag, as Eclipse tins aren't waterproof at all.

Magnets are pretty weak too and cache could easily fall if not replaces slowly and carefully, which given where GZ is, could quite easily happen.

#392 for us and the one that gave me souvenir #8 in the 31 Days

After some DNF's earlier tonight (not logged because I didn't give them a really good go due to running late and unease at caching by torchlight in those areas), this one at least was a nice quick find.

Unfortunately the log is papier mache, so unable to sign, but I have a photo if needed.

Log really needs replacing and the magnets aren't as strong as they once were either.

Thanks for the cache tnt_trent_130.

Found. Owner needs to replace very wet log. I've started my 31 days of August caching, can't wait!!

My first find bit excited. Very wet paper needs replacing

Very wet log book needs replacing, couldn't even write in it, possibly some new tape is required too. TFTC

As other users mentioned log is rather wet! I guess mint tins just weren't made to be waterproof TFTC

Tftc

found it! log is still drenched, needs replacing.

Caches like this i wish i brought my dog for distraction. Cache was on the ground, log is drenched. Managed to just sign it without it ripping. Log needs replacing. Thanks

Found it really easy and quick find.

A nice quick find to add to the tally.
Thanks for the cache and the history lesson.
Cheers
Dog-gone.

TFTC. Easy find, slightly stressful watching the kids forget the road rules!

Hard to not to look like your placing a bomb when puting it back... Hope nobody saw me....

Great one for geokids to do and looking forward to learning more about the history of Grovedale's families

We found it! This was our 1st Cache. TFTC
This is going to be lots of fun to share with my 4 & 1/2 and 2 & 1/2 year old, as we go out on adventures!

TFTC

A quick find between automotive onslaughts. Tape is looking a little the worse for wear. TFTC

I headed to Torquay today with my two boys for a bit of a day trip, to grab some caches and to enjoy the nice day. Once we'd had breakfast we readied ourselves, packed the car and hit the road. The trip around the bay was pretty good and admittedly this was the first time I had been to Torquay. By the time we arrived it was close to lunch time so we found a fish and chip shop, ordered up then headed to the beach to enjoy our lunch. Not much of a swell today but there were still plenty of people along the foreshore and still a couple of surfers waiting for that wave to catch. We had a great time and will have to come back again some day.
A nice easy grab today as we made our way back through Geelong and onto home. Thanks for the hide.

TFTC.

Found @2342
Quick easy find while dodging traffic.
SL Thanks for the cache tnt_trent_130

Quick and easy find. Traffic moves quite fast around here.

TFTC

Parked in the car park and headed across half the road and the cache was the first place I felt! Makes a change for me. Signed and replaced.

Thanks!

Easy one could see it from side og road

Quite easy!

In Geelong visiting family. Just had to add some smiles.
A quick find on a pleasant afternoon caching.
TFTC

I found this a couple of weeks ago with little geosis. I think it was our 2nd ever cache =] nice easy find. Cheers.

Nice quick find while out caching for the day with Biggles Bear. Thanks for the cache.

Too Much traffic, but couldn't find it on any signs or lightpoles near the shops

After doing #2 gave it another shot, nice hide

Found 14:20, in the company of Muzza during our regular caching day out.

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks tnt_trent_130.

Trying to catch up finds from months ago, apologies for the belated log.

12th found in the company of lochb, Alansee and coley_babee in town for a particular award winning Fyansford Treasure cache.
Made for the quick grab inbetween the stream of traffic.

Thanks tnt_trent_130 for this cache.
