If you cannot respond to the situation as requested, please add a note to the cache page detailing the situation **and providing an actual date when you expect the situation to be resolved.** This is to allow others to understand the what is happening - as well as - to prevent the cache from being de-listed as abandoned.

Have a read of the [Geocache Maintenance guideline](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) which explain a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

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

I was on my way to Melbourne via the Monaro and driving through this town where I stopped for lunch. I read the hint which did help. The log was still wet which meant it was hard to sign, as often happens.
Then it was back in the car to continue my journey south. TFTH

Found the likely location and like the last log only a pen was in sight. A little more toward the middle and the cache located. Although the contents of the container were bone dry the log was saturated.

Log soaking. Needs replacing and location may need a check. CJJAHC

climbed up the rocks but all i found was a pen may have been muggled

After a little rock hopping and ending up in the right spot ,found it
retrieved it signed it and replaced it. Thanks MADSTARS FTC.

The sixth find of the day. This was the final day of our mega weekend adventure. We needed to get back from Labertouche to Canberra by the end of the day, which would entail an 8 hour plus drive. This didn't include all the caches we were planning on stopping by. Firstly, we had to back track a little to Nar Nar Goon though as I needed a photo with the sign for my mates back home. A letterbox here, a large there and we were on our way. Grabbed a few large caches and even reached a new milestone of 100 earthcaches! Thanks to all the COs who made today possible.

This series was not one we had originally planned to grab but we had time and liked the D/T points. We parked nearby the bridge and then headed down to begin searching. The ground was pretty uneven and snake friendly but we got through and soon had the cache in hand. Log signed and cache replaced. TFTC MADSTARS!

**Monday 19/11/17**
Today was the last day of our Alexandra Mega trip! Mostly driving between Drouin - Canberra as we had lots of distance and hours to cover but we still managed to squeeze 17 caches in which was more than planned! We left the accomodation at 8:30am and didn't get back until late at night. Lots of large caches, a few Earthcaches, county's along the way, easy but high DT combo's and a few multi's were the goal for this days trek Was a great weekend away with Cankid and at the mega event but was good to finally be back in Canberra by the end of it all! Was a great detour along the coastal route home, a highway we had both never travelled!

---

**This Cache:**

This series of caches had some good DT points but also seemed do-able by two teenagers in a short amount of time!

We approached from above and on the wrong side of the road of the bridge. So once we walked under we could just make our way across the top and didn't even need to scramble up any rocks! An easy find once your in the right location, but a fun cache that is up my alley of climbing things. TFTC

Tftc

Last find for the night for the Sale Venturer scout group in their first geocaching night...despite a big puddle nearby and a flurry of spiders! Thanks for the cache trail!

Really easy find TFTC

Woo hoo

Enjoyable scramble. Tftc

Another bridge scramble. Thanks!

Found it! A few slipping rocks and a very muddy shoe later it was retrieved by geohusband. Tftc

Me third stop where I,
rolled up !!
Rolled up !!
ROLLED UP !! [:o]
On the geocycle.

But I had to dismount,
gracefully,
and perform another balancing act [:o]
Oh these rocks keep moving

Da da da dah,
da da da da dah dah!! [:o)]

Gotcha !!

TFTC.

Thanks! Found it!

Becareful when it rains

Another easy find

Quick and easy!! TFTC

Tricky

Scrambled up the rocks, like a buccaneer up the rigging.
Found the secret plunder.
Avast, me hearties!

Kids loved the mud, and the fast climbing to see who could find it first. Took nothing

No as child friendly as the other 2 , but good hide either way , container needs maintenance

Pretty muddy - not that easy to get to. Rocks are loose so a bit tricky for the little ones. TFTC

TFTC

TFTC

Done with the help of geokid7

Thanks for the series of caches along here

Dropping him off to chill with the trolls, found with H@nn

Found and left a little trackable friend called Marco Polo GSPHX8

With H@nn

Saw the blackberries on one side, so crossed the highway and it was an easy approach from that direction. TFTC MADSTARS.

Found it!!!

Easter in the bottom of the bridge and blackberries along the sides of the rocks made it difficult, still managed to get in there. A few prickles and head bumps later we had the cache. Took magnifying glass, left spider. TFTC

In Sale for a few day, time to look for a few caches. Quick easy find. TFTC

Tackled the set of bridge caches on a bike ride with the kids. Logging a few days after finding. TFTC!

After getting muddy feet quick find with NoonaB

Found easily enough, but much easier to go over the highway than try and cross the quicksand!!

Was a good one and I liked it

Once we got the right side, cache soon in hand. TFTC MADSTARS

A welcome stop on a trip NE. Was on wrong side to begin with that was a circus. T4TC

Made rush now heading home - find it quick or don't find it at all - luckily found that quick tflc

Found with Mansgirl on a caching couple of days. Thanks.

Great one.

Nice hide. Geo Retriver loves it.

Done

TFTC Lots of toys for kids.

First for the day

Travelling around Victoria on our 2 weeks holiday hoping to fulfill our LGA and VCA challenges, experiencing some great places and going into some remote areas that we would never had ventured before caching.
The fitter Triton went for the find as I nurse a swollen knee.
Thanks MADSTARS for the hide.

Visiting TBs

Work took me to Maffra and Sale today and since the weather was delightful, the whole geofamily accompanied myself and our caching buddy Kato Potato. Today was our chance to finally nab these Circus Trick caches - Kato and I are not of the tall variety and had decided to team up one day to reach them.....unless my husband bear-cacher was able to come. At 6ft6, there's few caches outside his reach. This cache did not require the team circus freak though - I performed the rock scrabbling as I am the closest to child sized in our party (150cm is nothing to brag about in the growing stakes) who wasn't cruising in a pram. A quick signature on a cache chockers with swaps and I was off......and had dropped my phone on the way down....so I retrieved it and was off again for good. TFTC MADSTARS.

Out on a day trip with only geobaby in tow and the wonderful company of kyabbott and bear-caching and we decided it was hough time to knock these circus trick caches over. I don't know why I'd never attempted them before but today proved why I've never approached them alone. Kyabbott nimbly accomplished the rock hop to this one and was able to reach the final prize while I was still picking my careful way up the slope. A neat little hide certainly requiring some extra skills! TFTC

Kids loved it swapped x3

Good climb

TFTC Took bracelet left car.
Moving on travel bug.

No problems finding this one
TFTC

Quick find on our way south. SL TFTC

Looking at the location of the Circus Tricks plus Pearsons Bridge and their ratings we wanted stopped to do a bit of a cache run. We had no difficultly spotting or retrieving any of the hides so maybe some are a little out of position except for one which we needed to improvise a little. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC.

TFTC. Good spot. TN but left a foreign coin.

With eighthknox I noticed this cache whilst eighthknox was refuelling at the nearby BP after he had paid we made the short walk along the stone wall to a real easy find. This one was fun because of the way we accessed it TFTC

Find 12 with nanton34 and this one was found after filling up the tank and parking by the motel nearby. We took an interesting route and a circus act of our own by scaling a rock wall to GZ - something I wouldn't recommend doing with the kids...although it was fun for us. Otherwise it was a quick find with what we thought was a generous difficulty rating. Tftc

Well the ageing Bushfire is not 6 foot 3 inches but does have a lifetime of knowledge and a caching bag of tricks and caches mostly on his own.
Leaving the caravan park early this morning intending only to grab this guy I ended grabbing four and then had a call from the NGW (Non geocaching Wife) as to my whereabouts.
I made this much harder than it was intended I am sure as I had done with one of the others but in the end it was in hand and signed with nothing out or in.
Thanks MADSTARS for these caches now to head back to the park and have breakfast and then pack up the caravan and head home to Geelong.

Few found it !

Found cache in daylight, YAY!! Yeaterdays attempt left me on the wrong side tripping on rocks. TFTC. Nice and quite spot. Now to work out the next one

Have changed name from 86pebbles87 to Charlie The Ant, book is still signed as original name 86pebbles87.

TNLN, thanks MADSTARS.

Great set for the children through here.

Thanks.

Careful. The rocks come loose and move around!

Arrived in Sale late this evening, loaded GPS up with half a dozen caches, grabbed running shoes, super bright xeccon spiker 1206 mountain bike light, pen and off I went for a run. This was 4/5 finds for the evening around 10pm. GZ was fun to scramble to, especially in the dark. Quickly signed log given random guy hanging out under main highway bridges at night with bright torch may not look normal. TFTC.

For our Australian Tour we selected to search this Cache.
We had a find at a nice Location and thanks to the owner for placing and maintaining this by
arbor95

Together with arbor95 we are on the way back to Melbourne. Some nice caches on the way, we stopped and signed the logbook. This cache was one of them.

Thanks for this cache and for keep this going.

Greetings to the owner.

Cool spot

Passing through with Nut bear and made a quick stop for this one. An easy find once in the right position. We did a few circus tricks on the way down.
Thanks MADSTARS for the cache and for bringing us here.

On a trip to visit family and stopped to pick up some caches along the way.
This set of caches were on our to do list as we were able to park and walk to each one. Always fun being a troll for a while too. Quick find followed by our circus trick to get down.
Thanks for the cache MADSTARS

Actually loved this one! So much more fun with a bit of a challenge! Plenty of traffic so had to be very sneaky! Thanks for this one! Now to get down....

Another good cache thanks

For me, this was the most entertaining of the series
From doing my best juggling act to avoid the MANY muggles, calling on my best footwork to scale the rock wall without incident and lastly using my best evasive skills to avoid the highway traffic whilst returning to my means of transport! Enjoyed the series
Cache is in good condition
Many thanx to Madstars

a quick find on the way home from Nicholson.
Aaron jumped out and made a quick grab for this one.
thanks MADSTARS for the cache, highrod from Ballarat.

Thought I would stop by while I was in Sale and grap a couple of caches. Managed to find this fairly easily. All good with the cache TNLN TFTC, another Madstars cache ticked off the list

Where oh where are the geokids ? Even a geo hubbie would be useful! The good news is that I am getting quite agile on the rocks !

Plastic bag is broken. Tftc

Found this work my geoteen some time ago but the log must not have uploaded. Realised it was this one when doing the others in this series. Son found it and sore in the log for me. TFTC.

15:41
We made an early start from home, with our destination - Sale, plugged in. The traffic was light as the new school term had commenced, the wind was much cooler than we anticipated however not cool enough to prevent quite a number of cache stops. With our accommodation organised, it was onto the geo- cycles and off to try some circus tricks. Oh what fun, great to find locations and caches which are genuinely ‘kid friendly’.
Keep eating lots of fruit with your breakfast so that you can keep planting the cache containers.

Thanks to MADSTARS for the hunt.

Today we explored Sale and surrounding areas using geocaching as our guide.

Made a quick find TFTC

After staying overnight at the Maffra golf club grounds with the caravan we made an enthusiastic start to get as many caches as we could in the surrounding area. This was one of the caches we targetted and were able to find in conjunction with caching friends LazzaL. Thanks to MADSTARS.

In Sale with friends Liz & Bruce trying to get as many done today as possible and this was one of the excellent caches of the day. Thanks to MADSTARS

With geo junior at cadets what does geo dad do for 3 hours?? caching of course.
