###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED**###
This cache is carrying one or more logs which suggest some attention by the cache owner is needed.

The guidelines advise that the CO should make occasional visits to check on the cache as well as promptly address any logs that indicate that the cache requires some attention. If you can not attend to the issue promptly, then you need to Disable the cache - I have disabled it this time.

Please respond to this situation (or indicated your intentions including a date) by **21st September**, otherwise it will be necessary to withdraw the cache from the Active listing. 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.

**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.

Hasn't been found since 11/16 and with all the DNF's it may need a check by the CO.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Searched. Muddy and wet but no luck
 
10-Jun-17
Had a good scratch around for this one today. No cache seen within a 10 metre radius of gz or the clue. It could do with a check from the CO as per previous dnfs.
 
26-Mar-17
Spent some time here to no avail. Really needs CO to check it out.
Was a nice drive out of town but still would have been nice to find cache.

Guarded by a giant not nice looking spider. Unable to get close enough to the tree to look. Be careful when entering the area

Had a look today 16 Jan 17 and couldnt locate this one. I did find the rose-bush type thorns though upon leaving i did find a sistema 200ml broken lid close to GZ. Thanks for the challenge anyway

This cache was our last for the day and gave us a total of 26 caches found. Our aim was 25 for the day and this was the icing on the cake, being on a road previously untraveled by us. The silos were impressive, but the train loaded with stone from the quarry was an added bonus for us. So photos taken of silos, train and lovely countryside before SL at 4.45pm. Left: windmill PT #3795 TFTC and the unexpected sights on our caching afternoon marcwallace. Favourite point given.

Today I was out caching with Biggles Bear, cleaning up the remaining 70 caches in the Mt Disappointment series. Having completed the series, we had some spare time to pick up a few more before heading home. This was our last for the day and a nice quick find.

My thanks to marcwallace for the cache.

Found this one today. I was looking for isolated caches (at least 2 km distant from other caches) for a New Zealand challenge cache I am currently doing. This was the next cache that I found and it was the final cache I found before midnight. It took a lot of looking to locate it despite being in the correct location. I eventually found it after battling thorned plants (maybe blackberries). Signed log today and continued onwards.

Thanks for the cache.

Thanks for the clue as well as the cache marcwallace. It was an interesting road - especially the 'bridge' ( not sure what else to call it) in sections in the paddock. Very interesting.

s&d u3a consists of Seymour and District U3A members. We had 5 on this day of caching although we started out with 4 and 1 joined us about 11.30am. Some members had already found one or more for which we searched during the day. Like all geocachers the wonder of seeing other cachers looking for a cache is what makes us come along, even though we have already found it.

Easy find.

Found on our way home to Western Vic from the launch of the Lake Eildon GeoTour on the weekend. Now if it hadn't been for this cache, we would never have discovered this back road. We were heading towards the Kilmore Raceway anyway, so this was an ideal route to take. TFTC.

Second cache of the day and again without GPS or cache notes. I did however remember the clue which was really helpful once I spied the silos.
I had to be careful around GZ as I was in my races finery but escaped unscathed. Smile
Thanks

Out for a day's caching with hembee and yamidotty.

Very prickly to get into the cache. Darn roses.

A very wet log book.

Had a day's caching with Mr Tickles and yamidotty. Had a lovely day. The rain held off and we collected 10 caches which, for us, is a good haul.

Loved this spot. Could have been a movie location. Had a fun drive around on the gravel. Went to drive along the tracks under the silo til co-cacher reminded me it wasn't my car...

Dropped by today to photograph the Apex, a twice daily goods train operated by Pacific National that transports quarry products from here to Brooklyn and Westall. The train is normally here between 11:30am and 2:30pm and returns after dark. After the train had left I grabbed the cache. Nice easy find, the log book is damp but other than that the cache is in good condition. TNLNSL TFTC marcwallace.

A day long appointment in Melbourne meant I had an opportunity to find a few caches on the way home.

Last time I looked for this cache I ended up following some very poor directions from the GPS and ended up on a dirt road near Broadford. Today I spent a bit of time checking back and forth before deciding which road to follow. Once at the siding it was a short walk in the dark for a quick find without snagging on the barbed wire.

Thank you for the cache marcwallace.

Family asked wanted I wanted to do for my birthday this weekend and as I didn't want any fuss, I just wanted a weekend away. So off we headed to Yarrawonga for the weekend to celebrate and find some smileys as an added bonus. Probably the longest it has ever taken us to do this trip but as I got out to cache it gave hubby the chance to have a quick smoke. He is not into caching, so I was surprised when he suggested we find some on the way.

Of course took the wrong road and had to back track but an easy find once at gz. Thanks for highlighting these silos marcwallace.
