I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore the cache is being Archived to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

The [Geocache Maintenance guideline](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported. Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article [here](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

If you wish to contact me please send an email via my profile - [Bunjil,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

The cache guardian has confirmed that this one is missing.
Temporarily interred until I can build a replacement.

No luck here today.

No luck for us even after widening our search.

No go today

TFTC - the cache log book was wet (plastic bag in poor condition). I placed the wet log in a new bag and added another dry notebook page to another plastic bag.

Found it

Third time lucky!

Seems easy but I couldn't find it.

Searched the fence but couldn't see the hide,
But found by the one who looked inside.
Log was wet so replaced for good measure,
A peaceful place to have found our treasure.
TFTC

A beautiful winters day and this place looks so pretty and peaceful! Widened the search a bit and found the cache. The log is very damp but managed to sign it, maybe the next visitor could bring log and a new bag. TFTC

Log is wet and bag broken

We were talking to a geocaching friend on our return from not finding this cache yesterday and she told us where she found this cache in June last year. This lead us believe we did not widen our search area enough. Suggest that the next geocacher who looks for this cache widens their search along the fence line inside the cemetery and we do hope you find it safe and sound in its good hiding place.

Unfortunately although we did do a lot of searching in the area for quite some time we were not able to find this elusive to us cache this am!
A group of kangaroos were enjoying the area at the back of the cemetery when we arrived. This certainly is a well maintained cemetery in a lovely quiet area for your brother James to be resting.
TFTC scody that we hope to find one day in the future.

-Team Campion

Travelling around Australia today we are based at Kyneton.

We are loving our visit to Victoria, albeit simply Freezing. So much history. So many old historical buildings.

Today we also enjoyed seeing the Wattle that is flowering well in this area.

TFTC scody

Nice spot for James to rest, lovely little cemetery.
Spent a little while hunting along the fence posts, then spotted the likely hide. TFTC

Awesome little cemetery. Great hide.

Beautiful location!

Found with DoorMatt and TeamLauren. The coords were slightly off. DoorMatt had cache in hand after expanding the search zone.

Found with emthegem and TeamLauren. We found the cache after expanding the search a little. TFTC

Tftc. Took a little while to locate it as the coordinates were slightly off. Soon had it in hand though. Found with emthegem and Doormatt.

Thank you nice drive in the country side easy find

Very peaceful place =D

I found the cache some 7m away from GZ after hunting around. Was about to drive away when I saw a stump and went to check it out. Cache was in a wet plastic bag but as its a screwtop container the contents are dry. There was a kangaroo in the cemetery the whole time but we didn't seem to bother each other. Tftc. You might want to check it out and put it back where it should be or fix the coords. Cheers

Found it today at 4:40. Great spot!

We found this cache today at 4:10pm as number 26 of 32 on our tour from Bendigo to Home. Winding back in and around, "A" soon spotted this one. Thanks from D, HA & A B-A.

Great location.

Our last for the day, and due to fading light we didn't explore the cemetery. Our respects to your brother, thanks for the hide.

A slight detour while on way to Melbourne. We pulled of into Elphinstone looking for some toilets but I couldn't help myself from grabbing this cache! A quick find and we detoured along the old calder before making our way to Melbourne, TFTC.

Tftc - peaceful and gorgeous

on the way marysborough and stay over night

Found this one with Sully1 on our trip to the area.
Used the headlights and headtorches here to help in the dark,
thanks scody for bringing us here, and nice to remember your brother

Found with Bogonghazy whilst on a Long weekend assault of Castlemaine and surrounds. BH called the magic words here, and I was glad it was a quick find, at it was almost 7pm, dark, damp and very cold. Jim was to be our last cache today, and after this one, we headed back to Castlemaine for the warmth of the Caravan and a hot meal. Thanks to scody for the cache.

Second cemetery cache this afternoon on our way home from the Taradale Mineral Springs Festival. TFTC

Nicely hidden away.....in the dead centre. Tnsl

Found with Noelle 04. A very peaceful spot. TFTC. Jimmytherat.

Thanks for the cache. Found with jimmytherat. Left a smiley face in memory of Jim. Took a wander & paid Jim a visit. Flowers a bit wind blown so replaced.

Found the geocache at dusk.

found by torchlight with geo granny and buddies. TFTC

Didn't find Jim here but found his cache, wish we had more time to look here. a great spot TFTC

One Family - Two Nights Camping - 25 Caches - One FTF!!!

We headed up to Castlemaine Friday night, enabling us to make an early start to Maryborough so we could see Katy's niece compete in the RACV Energy Breakthrough on Saturday morning. We were able to fit in an hours caching on the way back before getting ready and heading off to a 40th birthday celebration. Sunday morning was a nice relaxing pack up of the camp site and a good few hours caching around Castlemaine and Campbell's Creek, including one impromptu FTF, before grabbing a bite to eat then heading home grabbing a few along the way.

We made our way to this cache, Parking near GZ, looking around for a little bit before Katy mentioned what about there? Sure enough the cache was soon discovered!

Thanks for the cache scody!!!

Thanks to scody for bringing me to this peaceful place. A nice easy find then a quiet walk around the graves.

After figuring out how to get to the cemetary, I wandered across to where I expected the cache to be, only to find nothing. I had been focused on that spot so I had a look around and saw the container sitting out in the open on the ground half a dozen metres away. Retrieved the cache, signed the log and put it back in the appropriate spot.
Thanks for the cache scody.

Super easy cache, saw it before we even got out of the geo-mobile!

Took longer to find the right road than it did to find the cache. Nice area too. Thanks scody

Found Jims special spot and said hello. Thank scody.

FlyingPigSquadron has landed! Thank you for bringing us to this lovely little spot scody - a place we would not have otherwise visited. Found Jim and paid our respects TNLNSL

Took a kangaroo left a car!
TFTC

We always enjoy the historical caches and this was one to fit the bill.
A very neatly kept location and a credit to the locals for keeping it all in good nick.

Many thanks for the cache.

Great spot. Quiet area to sit and reflect. Left magnet, took nothing. Thanks

Good find by geokid

Very nice spot - quiet!

Found with GeoTilly and GeoJnr. Nice drive to cache location and kids enjoyed seeing the horses nearby. Nice quick find and thanks for bringing us to this peaceful location.

Very quiet neat little cemetery, visited the grave of my friends parents then easily found the cache with kanokanick without the need for a compass

Found 3.15pm
We have been here before and were pleasently suprised to find the grass looking nice and short. The cache was a quick easy find, we then spent some time walking around, we found James and paid our respects.

TNLNSL thanks scody for a cache in a peaceful area.

Wound our way around the roads to get here and made a quick find at 11:25am. Seems to be a well looked after cemetery.
TNLN
thanks scody

Found by Team Ladava around 3.30 pm
We have had something of a spell from Geocaching since the New Zealand Mega due to various reasons but today we needed a drive and a caching fix so we headed north.
A strangely remote but well cared for cemetery although the metre high fresh trees growing out of some of the old graves were testament to Mother Nature's decree that bare ground is not natural and she will make every effort to reclaim it.
We pulled up at gz just as a quad bike drove down the hill from the neighbouring property.
To our surprise it was ridden by a gentleman who must have been well into his eighties complete with slippers and a blind and equally aged dog on the fuel tank. No whoosy city style electric scooter for this fellow. This was serious quad bike.
We had our dog with us so he stopped for a chat.
After a bit of a discussion about the cemetery we asked a question about the age of some of the graves but he departed with a sly smile saying "the inhabitants make great neighbours as they never give any trouble" and he headed off down the hill with a surprising burst of speed given his advancing years.
Took TB
Left nothing
Our thanks to scody for the cache and bringing us to this location.

Nice drive to area. Cache had a huntsmen guarding it. Not impressed.

Found on the back blocks of Elphinstone. Took the dog for a walk while I was at it, dropped a Tr Bug and forgot to log it; so thanks to the guys who have since picked it up and made the log.

Found by Mary & David at 1340. What a beautifully maintained resting place. Quite a few hand made headstones, and a number of mounds with no names or dates. No ornate stones with elaborate carvings here! Mary is very interested in graveyard architecture and symbolism, and really enjoyed exploring the place. Thanks for sharing your family history and a memory of your brother. The oldest headstone we saw was dated 1855. Our thanks to scody.

Tftc. Such well kept for a small cemetery. What a nice place for those who are buried here

Peaceful little place that you wouldn't know was here.
Tftc

I came past here quite early today on the way to Bendigo for work. These days the highway gives the town a wide berth but it wasn't always like that. I didn't know of this cemetery until this morning.
Thanks scody for showing it to me.

A great little detour down a country lane got me to the cemetery
A short stroll around the stones got me to the cache
TFTC.

Today was my monthly caching trip with Biggles Bear. Today we went from Malmsbury, through Catlemaine, Clunes, and Smeaton. This one was a nice quick find.

Thanks to scody for the cache.

Found 09:50, in the company of Muzza, during a regular monthly caching day out.

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks scody.

Found after dropping son off at school & on making my way back to Melbourne...

TNLN Signed Log

Thanks For The Cache scody & for bringing me here...

- Cache Condition ~ Fine

Sorry scody for the generic log but I'm trying to catch up on my logging, I currently have over 1000 to log before hitting some powertrails in the US after the block party next week. As always I enjoy the hunt whether I'm solo or with some of my caching or muggle friends. Thanks to those who have accompanied me to make the day more pleasurable and many thanks scody for placing this cache.

A nice quick find - TFTC

Found at 5.50pm. Well kept cemetery for such a small community. I wonder how old that fence is. Tftc. An easy driveby.

Found on our caravanning and caching tour of the area.

An easy find on a hot day. TFTC

Out with our caching friends the Walenator's. We decided to do a big cache run before we have to return to the real world of work! A bit tricky finding our way in as we had roads on the map that don't exist. At least one GPS was on the right track and once we'd 'arrived at our destination' finding the cache was a breeze. Then we removed the prickles from Lisa's finger and the stick from the fence that kept poking everyone in the chest when removing & replacing the cache! Peaceful out here today, but then that's expected. TFTC

Out for a fantastic weekend of geocaching with our caching buddies the "Earthbounds". A nice quick and easy find was had although there were many caching wounds by several members if our group. Some pruning was done to help assist the next group through here. TFTC....SL...TNLN

We found the cache fairly easily and then went for a walk in the cemetery. Thanks scody.

Easy find. Lovely spot. Second to find.

Found by Roma and Max.
This certainly is a peaceful place with some very old monuments and no doubt many pioneering memories.
Thank you scody for good numbers here again and a well hidden container.
Cheers,
from Romax.
