Memorial of the Lone Pine Memorial Bacchus Marsh, Victoria, Australia
By g_ordo on 26-Aug-12. Waypoint GC3R77D

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

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.

Didn't check til after I arrived at this site, DNFs galore and cache off line. Maybe next time g ordo?

[u]MAINTENAINCE REQUIRED?[/u]
[blue]I notice from one or more recent log entries that this cache [u]appears[/u] 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.

Prompt attention by cache owners to any log that indicates anything could be amiss is greatly appreciated by all seekers. The guideline advises; "if you can't fix it straight away then "Disable" it till you can."

Please respond to this situation by 30th November 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.

And don't forget, once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log see here; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404 and an "Enable Listing" log see here; https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 to get your cache up and running again.[/blue]

I think someone took it if not, its well hidden or weve been misled by the name and hint, if so can you give us a clue

I think someone took it or weve been misled by the name and clue. If it is broken or missing can you please fix it

not there??

No luck but we were put off by the number of dnfs

We couldn't find this one

Had a long look but no good.

Unfortunately a DNF here today

After a long day of hiking in the Pyrete Ranges, Jacko83, Timmo98 and I stopped here to look for this cache. Maybe we were tired from the earlier 17km hike, because we couldn't locate this one today.
Thanks for the hunt, g_ordo.

Had a really good look but no luck. Wasn't our day, but i was expecting something easy and just could not spot it.

We are slowly heading across to South Australia grabbing a few caches along the way.
Hopefully the shire will get around to putting a plaque up again as thee reminders of our history are too easily lost. We believe that all those that served should always be remembered. The plaque may have been missing but the cache was still there and it was a nice easy find and our name has now bee added to the log.
Thanks g_ordo for the cache.

Found it!

Found it! Someone had (un)kindly left a condom as their treasure. Didn't plan on having THAT conversation with the kids today!

Done

Eaaasyy

Too easy love

A very wet day but easy to find. Thanks for this cache.

A nice quick find today with spot on coordinates. Thanks g_ordo.

Nice one!

Done!

Nice tribute to an important piece of history! Great camo TFTC TNLNSL

Nice camo. Found it while travelling through the marsh with ljthrilla. Nice hide. TFTC

Yeeehaa! On a roll! Nice find!

AWSOME find!!

Awesome! Found it on 6/6/14 by trot and Shanai mckenzie! Hooked on geocaching!

With only a couple of caches for a "quick" outing, we decided to grab a few more so out came the trusty iPhone and iPand to find a couple more.

Nice and easy find.

Quick find at 8am... Muggles starting to show....

Nice one on the way walking to the train station. Thank you.

Found it

Day 15 Mega Road Trip. Final day on our way to the airport. Stopped nearby for brekkie and were lucky enough to get a quiet patch to locate this one. SL. TFTC.

Found it!!!

A nice quick find coming back into town late in the day. TFTC!

Nice easy find by geokids. Thanks

On our way to the OzMega in Murray Bridge picking up a few caches on the way. We thank the many cache owners for putting out and maintaing these caches for our pleasure. There have been challenges as well as simple drive byes to break the journey, there have been a few DNF's also.

Apoligies for the generic log but we plan to do quite a few logs in the next few days.

No complications with this straight forward find.

After the vent in Ballan we returned to Bacchus Marsh to continue our caching in that area. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find of the is cache. The cache and contents were in good order. Thanks for the cache g_ordo.

Took Mother in-law to visit her cousin Ruth, we left them to catch up as they had not seen each other for some time. Marian and I with muggle friends Bill and Robyn went Geocaching. This was a nice easy find TNLNSL,thanks g_ordo.

Was a bit wary going onto hospital grounds, but it was a very quite day. Nice hide. TFTC g ordo.

Nice easy find

Nice hide in a really busy spot! TFTC

TFTC! Found on our geocaching day with the_geobots.

Found by the_geobots and oz_dkd, 26/1/14 - TFTC.

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

Lovely concept behind the planting. Disappointed that the plaque and information in the photo no longer exists. TFTCSL

Found with bkj97. He was having a boys look but I must take credit for spotting the cache from my side. T4TCSL

Found it!!

Lovely, cache well hidden.

In typical sashi2 fashion during a geocaching roadtrip from melton to mount gambier (and beyond) we decided to start with bacchus marsh. In trying to establish some kind of method behind this madness we always tend to discover we've forgotten to pack an essential item by the time we find our first smiley of our journey. This was no such exception. Found early on a very quiet Boxing Day morning in the area, eventually set off from Melton again around 10:30. A nice hide in a great location, TFTC g_ordo!

A nice quick square find. Thanks

Lovely Lone Pine, cache well hidden now. Thanks g ordo for the cache.

Found while staying at Bacchus Marsh on our way to Melbourne for the week. Thanks for the cache g ordo!

Replaced with a new container, this on should last a bit longer..

Cheers Gordo

out in the rain to get a few caches within a reasonable distance of home base. It didn't take long to be sopping wet.

been waiting a while to do this cache... got almost all caches done now in bacchus marsh

the cache container needs some TLC as it is split open and log book may get wet

we would like to thank the CO for this cache...

TNLNSL

Found this one broken on the ground needs a new cylinder.
Put it back together and hopefully put it back in its original spot.

In town for the day to find some caches and this as it turned out was the last. The rain was falling, but nothing too serious as I arrived and parked not too far from GZ. Read the notes and headed in for a look with no-one nearby or interested in what I was up to. Soon spotted the cache which was where it should be (I guess), but as noted, the container is damaged. Removed the log, signed and returned it and headed for the car.
Thanks g_ordo for the cache and the little piece of history.

Without the sign, the cache is the only way I would know the history of this tree. TFTC.

Geomum double parked the car, Motndarg made the stretch, we signed the log and replaced. Thanks for the cache.

A very fitting cache on 11/11. Caching with Motndarg and Tomstache today. Fabulous tree, hope the plaque gets replaced. Thanks for the hide.

High muggle area, Tomstache spotted cache and we were able to retrieve it quickly, signed in car and replaced. TFTH

Hi Found it nice easy find, TFTC

found it. Got stabbed by quite a few needles getting this one.

Found by caughtatwork at 11:53 on 26/10/2013
Phew, in the first place I looked. These caches has always been a nemesis of mine, but this one today was nice and simple. The log book is a tough one to get out, but I managed without mangling the plastic bag too much.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks g_ordo for this nice experience here today.

Found this cache soon after arriving in this very quiet location.

It was a shame the fence had been removed, but had the cache in hand pretty quick, signed log and returned to hide.

TFTC

Re-enabled, cache container has changed and is now ready to be found.

Now for the wait to see if the memorial is once again remembered.

Had a quick search but we couldn't locate it, and realised some previous changes must have been made, so we took our camel and headed off into the sunset to look for some more caches. -hippowaffle

All fencing, signs and metal gone so have to assume the magnetic cache has gone with it.

Had this one printed out when it first came up, never knew it was disabled easy find but log is full.
We see a lot of cachers are finding it so hope it comes back on real soon.
Signed and replaced. Thanks for putting this one here. TFTC.

Found, while visiting the area.
Plaque is gone but the cache is still there.
TFTC

Yes, I know it has been disabled, but had a look anyway. Delighted to find it. TFTC

Yes, we know this is disabled, but we keep driving by and decided to take a quick look. Log book is there, but full. Thanks.

Well after a few more logs and some FB updates I noticed I did'nt look hard enough.

Well today I returned and their it was.

Go figure the cache is safe under the hat.

TFTC

the sign is gone gone but the cache is there signed the log and replaced

we are claiming this as a find unfortunately the plaque is missing but didn't realize that g ordo had temporarily disabled we found and signed the log in the company of Teamranger TFTC

Received a log with some troubling news, the sign to which the caches was attached to, is gone, hopefully it will be replaced soon....

This was interesting.

I found a witches hat and 2 holes looking like something had disappeared from here.

Well I've just noticed the cache page photo and something definetely is!!

I'll keep an eye on the next log to see if I just should have looked harder.

I will return.

This was our first Cache. Our 6 year old daughter loved looking around the memorial for the cache

Visiting a sick Mum this arvo at the Hospital. I remebered there was a cache here but no GPSr. I used my Samsung Galaxy SII here using GDAK app. First time finding a cache with a phone. Quickly found by geowife on crutches... "Here it is!"


Signed log, took nothing, left magnetic pink pig.

Thanks for the cache & history lesson g_ordo


Cheers,
HEYVJ

Pretty pine tree with the dainty little cones

We enjoyed a Boxing Day trip to Melton to attend the Intervening Days Event.
We enjoyed the lovely weather and found a few other caches that have sprung up in the area since we were last here.
A nice cache we enjoyed finding.
Thanks for placing it.

This was a really nice, and convenient cache on our way back to our caravan after an evening of family get-togetherness. Food, family and more food, the exercise of walking across the car park will have to be supplemented tomorrow.
