Unfortunately there does not seem to be any evidence to indicate that steps have been, or will be taken, to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement.

It would appear the cache has been abandoned.

As such the cache is being de-listed (Archived). If there are components or remnants of the cache, please recover them as we don't want to litter our environment with Georubbish.

Hi there JMorg24,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **MAY** need some attention.

You may recall having received an automated email from Geocaching HQ which explained what you needed to do.

Unfortunately, nothing seems to have happened, so I am having to take the next step and temporarily disable the cache - see here: [**Geocache Health Score.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713)

**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days so others know exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication kill this cache.**

#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache and repair and/or replace or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.

- **Place A Write Note Log:-** Reviewers are not mind readers, so without your note on the cache page telling them what the situation is, they can't tell what is going on with the cache.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) and, when the listing is next checked, all will be fine for a little bit longer. But be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.
If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date), please ensure you visit this page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks so as to keep everyone up to speed with what is happening.

- **Adopt/Archive:-** If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another Geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**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.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of the above. Well, when the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned and processed accordingly.

Honestly, I'd rather you decide, so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

**JUST A TIP:-** Have you checked out the new Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own? Have a read about it [**HERE.**](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/07/welcome-to-the-cache-owner-dashboard/?newsletter=PM) You will find your very own dash board [**HERE**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner?utm_source=geocaching&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=COD)

Thanks for your cooperation,

No find here for me on the way to mornington biking ill check again on the way back

Found with HazzNHann after a few casual goes at it.

Took a few looks with oppylock to find this one and finally found TFTC

FINALLY found this one after about 4 attempts clever cache - funnily enough I found this one using it’s name as a clue- but NOT for what it literally turned out to be. TFTC

Couldn't find today maybe next time

This one is a mystery, will try again another day.

This was the first cache on my walk into MORNINGTON. A great cache to start with.

Found it during weekend in SE.

TFTH

Out grabbing the last couple of caches needed for the mystery at the museum event.
So glad I have very long arms for this one.
TFTC

Damn spiky bushes.

Down to the Peninsula for some exercise and to finally clear up the PLT series. I'd found a fair few back in 2016 and I thought it high time to find the rest. Most were easy finds although What'll it be? took me a long, long time to find due to cache blindness partly brought on by the description and partly due to the extensive geotrails in the area.
I do have 2 more left in the series but they'll keep for another day and another walk.

Out for the afternoon with Pwala, we targeted this cache early in the day. Pwala contacted the co and arranged to drop a replacement, doh! Thank you for placing this cache JMorg24

Out for Jack Speak series today, thanks cathylmorgan & Julz76 for bringing me here, perfect trail for a bike ride. Definitely, I will go there on my bike one day!

The cache has been replaced by a temporary container until I can source another container.

Dnf

Couldn't find it,
I think the owners might need to go check that it's still there

The second time that I have been here and the second DNF. It certainly wasn't where the clue said it was, and nowhere else that I could see either.

Out looking at a job nearby and saw this nice easy cache. Will have to cycle this path one day. TFTC

No luck today. Have I mentioned how much I hate lomandra longifolia? A council's favorite plant for keeping randos out of gardens. I suspect I was seeking a playdoh cache container. Had a good look but in the end nothing was to be found.

Started in Lavender Close to walk for a few hours while the family did other things nearby.
This was the first cache in this area and I had some trouble with it!
Although the hint was so accurate I couldn't work out where it was.
Eventually I spotted it much deeper than I imagined and in a container that isn't typical

TFTC JMorg24

Found it with crank1. She got an injured finger with a little cut but got it away ok. A path is so quiet which is good for us to catch up some caches to find. Thanks JMorg24 for the cache

Accompanied with Kangas11
Not many muggles today
Got small cut on my finger which it’s hurt.
Found it
Thanks cathymorgan&julz76

No one was around whilst we were walking to find this cache , but once we arrived at GZ it turned in to mugglesville for a little while, including a family taking their horse, I mean great dane dog, for a walk.

I love the play on words for the cache name.

I suspect the garden has grown a lot since the cache was originally hidden, as I had to put my Indiana Jones hat on to figure out which was the best route to reteive the cache.

Photo is of my Funassyi travel bug along the PLT.

Found this with the Monkey King today - also very impressed with the great dane taking its family out for a walk in the area.

Thanks for the PLT series - we are enjoying doing them, even if we are taking our time to do so.

First time in this area - must look for more. TFTC

Not what I was expecting.
The cache at present blends in really well with the background.
Thanks for the hide.

Eventually was able to grab this cache, obtaining it after another spring growth might increase the challege.
Thanks for the cache cathylmorgan & Julz76

Found this cache as I was making my way back from elwood doing an assignment on rising sea levels and such ( sadly the weather wasnt so great haha). This cache was quickly picked up as I made my way home, hopping off the bus at baxter and quickly grabbing this cache. Once I arrived at the GZ it took a little time to get to the cache as I struggle to fit in small space haha. Anyway this was another cache that continues to keep my streak alive. Thanks for the cache and the adventure.

DOH!! There it is!! Today I went bicycle riding with Judith9799 to complete this section of the Peninsula Link Trail. This is either the end or the beginning of this trail. Between Judith and I we have found all but a few of the caches. It has been a great series which I have enjoyed the variety of caches and the ideas gone into them. We had to wait for a muggle or two to go past to return this cache to its place. TFTC and ;this series.

Bike riding with mazza-g to complete this section of the Peninsula Link Trail. Spotted something a little obvious and out of place but no it wasn't the cache. I had no sooner walked away then mazza-g made the discovery and in the place I had looked earlier. Doh! Didn't I feel silly. TFTC

Nice quick find just on dusk on our way to KFC. TFTC

Found tftc

Quick and easy find! Tftc.

Wow we are at the last cache for this PLT series. With a total of 4.5hours and one dnf, we've had a lot of laughs and a great workout and lucky to have no mishaps on the bikes. Thanks to ozhockeychick for suggesting the days adventure.

3:54 PM #1701
I could see but couldn't reach from my side, and M could reach but couldn't see from her side. So as all good teams do, we joined forces to retrieve this last one for the day.
Thanks heaps for this amazing series. We've enjoyed the sights, the frights, the laughs and the adventure! Great work!

Managed this as a park and grab with the handy pathway onto the trail. Thought I may be walking away with a DNF until I realised I was looking on the wrong side. Thanks for the cache.

#1,156

I haven't seen one of these things for years! TFTC

After getting drenched at the last PLT cache, i decided i could not get any wetter so headed off to this one. Found a parking spot nearby and headed off. I got dripped on quite a bit but logged the cache
TFTC cathylmorgan and Julz76.
Now off to do some caches placed by your mate, hint, hint.

Our last find of the PLT series (well except the dnfs that we'll try again when we get the chance). The name is obvious once we found it. TFTC. It's been a great series.

Needing a cache for the day I walked in from the Cool Stores
Very pleasant stroll late afternoon and more than pleased to grab this one
Many thanx to Julz76

Nice walk

Tftc

While on my way down to visit my son and do a night cache I always need to clear out a couple on the way. Nice easy find
Thanks for cahce Julz76

2nd find for 2016. Sneaky hide TFTC

A quick find once we got the right side of the path. Thanks for the hide.

Find #1856

Apologies for the late log. This in one of a pre-Christmas batch that I didn't get around to logging promptly. Headed out from work at lunchtime to knock off three along this end of the trail. parked close by and walked to this one. A quick find in the obvious spot indicated by the hint. The TB I'm afraid is long gone. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache Julz76. My GPS wanted to direct me to another cache nearby but luckily I spotted that it had been disabled so I headed back to the car and drove on to another target.

Log book has now been replaced

Very sneaky find. Found with uncle fester

TFTC

Number 6. Ouch those bushes hurt

Very quiet here.. Feels like we are sneaking around up to something! TFTC

Nice, straightforward one. Log was a bit soggy so used an extra slip of paper. Thanks!

Log pretty much a right off here. Noted heart in container. T4tc

Easy find, loved the container, it said there was a trackable but none in cache

Successful! Yay! Thanks for the fun. Cheers, Karl , Austin and Angus

Quick and easy find by my two young kids

First for the day - lots of snails. Log needs replacing.

Cold evening bike ride with Gunks, hoping to get 15 before we freeze to death. May need to raid the lollies early to keep going!
TFTC.

Out on a treasure hunt with poptopPete tonight on the bikes. Hoping for 15 caches. Fingers crossed. Tftc

A beautiful day for a ride to Mornington checking out the caches on the way. Some beat me but I got most. Thanks Julz76.

Nice cache. A bit water logged so didn't sign book

Found it

Nice easy find log is full and a little wet

Red ghost 31/1/2015

Found easy find

Needs a new ticket

Squuezed a mark in

New log please.

Found this surprisingly quickly on the way back - it certainly eluded me earlier today.

Not a big fan of the Kitty litter, although it does n't need much digging ! TFTC

We are Touring Australia and currently staying with family in Bittern.

Today we decided to head out with the GeoBikes. We parked midway on the PLT trail and headed northwards. After only maybe 3 caches we were struck with Trail closed signs so we retraced our tracks and headed south. It wasn't long before we had a spill with cyclist 2 taking out cyclist 1. [B)]

After counting fingers, toes, cuts and scrapes we were back on the hunt.

The weather wasnt the best but not the worst either. Overcast and light drizzle on occasion but that helped keep the muggle factor down. All in all a great afternoon out on the GeoBikes.


TFTC Julz76 and helping us to use Geocaching as a tour guide to this area.

Looking forward to meeting other geocachers at the next Australian Geocaching Mega event

GC4X31B Queensland Geocaching ---- Event - Stanthorpe 2015 www.qldmega.com

Registrations now open at www.qldmega.com/register

Log your Will Attend at GC4X31B

Great hide! Very sneaky if you're a muggle but perfect place for a cacher

TFTC!

A quick find. I managed to sign the log, but is now completely full. Will definitely need new log.

Need a new log as it is completely full.

DNF with Team Crackers and The Coffees today. As others have indicated this one really needs some attention.

Will check and replace this one as soon as possible. Most likely in a couple of weeks

Like those before us, searching through kitty litter without gloves, no thanks.

Couldn't find this one, someone has dumped a massive load of kitty litter there :/

Found at 4:32pm
Find #2 of my solo Peninsula Link hunt!
After parking my car a nearby street, I set out to find the first half of the PLT caches. This one was nicely hidden, TFTC!

Another quick find and the last cache for the day, We'll be back to complete the series and pick up the ones we missed today, SL TFTC

Find #513

Stopped off here today while passing by to see what this series is like. Had the geodog with my so of course all the neighbours dogs were barking and drawing attention to me. I only grabbed 2 today and I was able to make a quick find here and be on my way before anyone came to see what the noise was about or pass by. Will definitely return and do more of this series by bike and without geodog I think! Tftc julz76

Went to grab a nearby cache only to realise that we had been here a couple of months back and not logged the visit. Checked for the date in that nearby log and am now logging it and others along the track that we collected that day. TFTC

First bike trail ride cache hunting have not been in a bike for years
Thanks for the push to get me started !

quick find. I love playdoh. one muggle on bike but we already have two new bikes so we let him keep it after we bashed him xo

Another quick one, tftc. Tuccamore

2014-01-18 22:59 Out on a night mission to find some Things to Come and PLT caches. Dusted off the old treadlie and started at the Eramosa end. Made it out near Cranbourne Rd before calling it a night. My first of the PLT caches. Nice and quick. TFTC.

Quick cache to grab this morning before a full day out with Munchylorne. Thanks

Left christmas smiley.

Found it 2/1/2014.

Find #592

Stemicmitsar and I had been caching on the Peninsula since late afternoon and we called in here on our way to our respective homes. This was our last find of the night/morning and with this find, we have now both completed the PLT series.
This series has been immensely enjoyable and I thank both cathylmorgan & Julz76 for placing this series of caches.
