As there has been no 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.

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.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained here: [**Unarchive a geocache**](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

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.

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###

----------

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that may need some attention. Perhaps it is time for the CO to check on this one please.

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.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) by 16th August,** 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:

- Repair and/or Replace your cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) 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 don't plan on fixing it up then please [**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.

- 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 (by 16th August). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.

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 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 instructions posted above.

After numerous DNF's since last found 6 months ago. time it was checked

We joined the long list of DNF's

No luck today, hevwalker and myself searched what seemed thoroughly and for a lot longer than it probably should of taken. Will keep a look out for posts on this one and come back next time we're in the area.

Had a short look here to no avail. Great views all the same.

scramping & I were in Portland for a day of caching...we must be crazy as the weather was exactly as forecast...cold, wet & windy...
The wind was chilling us to the bone but we continue with our search regardless but were unable to locate the cache.

No luck with this one today.

Couldn’t find this one today

Found something else but not the cache had 5 of us looking... great view, wish we could locate the cache.

found it TFTC yes go the floes gps had us 5mys away from it lol

Amazing views around the coast. Little blow flies loved it also
Quick find while fending off the flies signing the log.
TFTC
Cheers

Thank you for a great hide

Nice view easy find

TFTC still room left if you go through log book

TFTC

Sweet as! Needs a new book though

Great hide tftc

Log book is full

Nice hide

School holidays have started and that means time for a road trip. Sydney to Mt Gambier via the Little Desert, then back home via the Great Ocean Road, Melbourne and the coast back to Sydney. Caves, rock climbing, cache and lots of photos along the way. Cheers to all the cache owners who placed them along my route. All the ones we found were in good condition unless i have made a note.

Took a little bit to find... very sneaky... beautiful views... TFTC

Took a little while to find as was very sneaky but enjoyed looking at the sea views... TFTC

Very sneaky

What a beautiful lookout! Just takes the breathe away!

Wow that ocean is rough today

Muggles that I had to wait out but a semi quick find, amazing views, and a really cool walk through the shrubbery if you miss the parking spot, about 200 m walk back on the great south west wall

What did I see? An awesome view! Thanks.

Tftc!

Finally found by 6yo geokid

Thanks found it

TFTC

What else do u do when working away. Clever

Found at the suggestion of one of our fellow walkers "hey, what's this here"
Saved us from finding the false teeth.
We did, however, find a bait box in the bushes.
TFTC

A view is what we saw, there was water and clouds, unfortunately for us today that was all. SL TFTC

I know you were expecting us to look at the view but I stopped looking after I spotted the false teeth somebody had left behind...
Also a very unpleasant smell that rushed us off as well.
So a very memorable cache for all the wrong reasons.
Thanks

So much to see here. Storm clouds building up overhead, a calm sea, wind turbines on the horizon across the water, Muggle Hubby as he found the cache whilst I am busy taking photos, shrubbery below, even some false teeth, but sadly no whales.
Thanks for bringing us to this beaut lookout after attending the event in Portland.
We've seen some amazing scenery along the coastline, thanks to Geocaching, and people like you who place and maintain caches for our enjoyment

11:14 am #2997
Found during a road trip to Portland and various areas in south-west Victoria with Papillon4506 & Geoturtle37.
Amusing to find a set of false teeth that had been left behind.
Thanks for the cache and bringing us here today.

A quick and easy find on a long weekend geocaching road trip with Geoturtle37 and OzHockeyChic. We could see a set of false teeth that some unfortunate person had lost at the lookout. Not quite what we expected to spot LOL. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Found by Mary & David at 1010. We can see right to the horizon on a soft grey morning where it is hard to see where the sea ends and the clouds begin. A few surfers are out already, the islands are anchored to the grey mirror, and the sculptural wind mills reach skyward. There was a lone small fishing boat just below the lookout. Our thanks to sheltz1.

Driving around this magnificent coastline we get the added bonus of all the different scenes as we pick up the lonely trads with a VIEW. Well today we saw all of the above including a fishing boat and tourists. Let's not forget the cache also Thanks sheltz1 for showing us to this brilliant lookout.

Found by The Empire and Sully
In Portland for the 8 Months to the event in Alexandra event. Time to spend the afternoon caching, it was a little wet - but that didn't stop us much! Time to head down to the bottom of the coast! Thanks for the cache sheltz1.

Found with The Empire on our Portland and beyond assault this afternoon after the Lunch event. It was absolutely worth the drive down to here to be able to see the fantastic views we were able to enjoy. The cache was soon in hand and logged, but along with the cache and the superb views, we got a bonus we weren't expecting...... Someones teeth plate hanging on a nearby nail.

Wow what a view! TFTC. Scrappy_1

We're on our way to the Mega at Alice Springs and traveling all the back roads finding some great camps along the way.

Thanks for placing this cache sheltz1.

We were glad that we stopped at this spot as the views were excellent. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks sheltz1 for the cache.

Found nje

found cache with lid broken, so replaced cache container and took tb

Dropped off son's TB

Great view

A quick stop at the lookout to retrieve the cache and sign the log. No muggles in sight. TFTC

Found 1/11/16 @ 6:31 PM.
I was out here a few days prior to this and spotted the cache. Unfortunately right at that very moment a muggle decided to show up. I took some photos and generally stuffed around trying to wait him out. After 5 mins or so, I gave up.
Coming back out today I was able to make a quick find.

Thanks sheltz1 for the fun.

Thank you for making us stop here, it was beautiful. Not sure it's a micro though? Thanks

We had a week long trip to Portland and SA for the School Holidays.
Everything was pretty wet from the recent rain but the caching was enjoyable.
Thanks for the cache hide.

Found with McAdies and jelly_bean14 during a holiday.
We got to see some really cool spots.
