Unfortunately, as there has not been a 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.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained here: [**Unarchive a geocache**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56). 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.

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.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

I've noticed this cache is carrying a maintenance log which really does need to be addressed by the cache owner.

The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) within 14 days,** 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:

- Check on the cache, repair and/or replace the cache 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.

- 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 (within 14 days). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. For ongoing issues (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to speed.

- 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 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 de-list (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 information/advice posted above.

Nice little Hide. Thanks

Cache was fairly wet on the inside. Includimg withing the log bag.

Last one for todays adventures. Very nice little walk.

Stopped by to pick up this cache whilst in the town. TFTC

A great little walk

Quick find while passing through town and visiting relos. Tftc

Quick walk after our lunch stop. Drive home from snow

Find # 6920

Found with sharkiefan.

The days plans was to head around the newer Mt Disappointment caches to help sharkiefan to get some more finds to help with the Hidden Creatures Souvenirs, Oh and also to grab a few extras that cropped up on the map.

From a Nice sunny start we headed into fog while at the northern point where we had an interesting drive up to and awesome view at "Crossing Point"
Around the forest tracks the fog disappeared and the sun was out once again.

But nearing the end of the 60 odd finds, of the Trail Caches, we were back into typical late arvo winter chill and back into more fog before ending the day back in Broadford

After grabbing a burger from the take away shop. This was our last grab for the day. Another great caching day.

TFTC MUZZDAWG11

Found with FUF009.
Our last cache of the day after getting a bite to eat at the takeaway. Tftc

The lovely Dennisc52 had come to Shepparton for a visit
Sadly, he'd found a tree branch with his caravan on the way over
In my attempts to keep Rex on the site where we live, I needed a specific kind of fence according to the park owners and hence this day trip to Melbourne's outer suburbs in order to pick up some fencing.
Since Dennisc52 drove, I didn;t get much say in what caches we found however 6 finds and only 1 DNF wasn't a bad effort considering Dennisc52 doesn't cache much at all
Thanks for the fun day out mate and for the fence too! [:X]

As I am about 8 months behind in logging, I'm resorting to template logs to catch up.
My heartfelt thanks to the COs who have placed some tricky, funny, exercise required, scary, interesting and devious caches in some amazing spots! [^]
Rex and I have had some amazing adventures and enjoyed some incredible moments thanks to this fantastic hobby

TNLN. SL. TFTC MUZZDAWG11

Found with Locus cache travelling to Shepparton. TFTC.

Out for a drive in this area, we tried to get close to GZ as I couldn’t walk too far.
Big mistake. That failed.
Tried another approach, still unsuccessful.
Tried the conventional approach, success at last
End of the TRIAL as well as the trail.
Thanks MUZZDAWG11

Out Caching With Adventures Of Tillie

Awesome Hide got a bit confused but once we knew we were on the wrong track we found it quick

TFTC

Thanks for the hide. Nice peaceful walk.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one off the list

2:03pm

Not quite the end for me, 1 to go still, but literally this one is located at the end. Very dry around Gz, and looks like some undesirables make use of the area regularly with all the rubbish they’ve left behind.

Cache located easily and signed.

TFTC, Cheers.

Wrong side of creek but found on 20th.

Spending the week near Strath Creek with family and this cache was near our rendez-vous picnic spot on the first day. We found we were on the wrong side of a dry creek bed, but after a bit of scrambling, one of the TheGees soon found it. We decided not to go on to find the cache further along the path, but to come back another day. TFTC

Ni

Nice little wander to the GZ and quickly located the cache. Nice and quiet. Thanks

Found ir

Found by Team Ladava after doing a little maintenance on our TB Motel on the highway.
Well I made hard work of this one and covered more miles than Captain Cook.
Parked in some shade near where the navigator took me. Hmmm, no access to the creek from here so walked the wrong way. Still no access. Back to the bridge and saw the walking track. Almost broke my neck scrambling down on rocks covered with slippery pine needles. (At 70, I am too old for that sort of terrain.) Followed the main track which took me past the cache on the wrong side of the creek. Back to the bridge to follow the less used track to gz. Leaked some claret when I staked my arm on a stick. Finally found the cache which had a few mm of water in it but thankfully the newish plastic back remained sealed and watertight. Back to the car. ‘Where are my glasses?’ Drove to a suitable parking area to access the walking track which negated the need to risk life and limb. (Pity parking coordinates were not included in the cache notes.) Found my glasses which had fallen out of my shirt pocket. Problem, I had apparently stood on them as the case was damaged and would not close. Small mercy, it was a metal case so the glasses were not broken.
Quite an adventure for one smiley.

After attending the MEGA event on the weekend, Snickersallan, RoddyC and I continued on our drive around the area today to find a few caches we missed over the weekend.
While Mr RoddyC stayed with the car, the girls went in search of the two caches along this pathway. Got close to this one then realised we had to cross the creek. Managed to find the crossing and then made our way to GZ.
This one was found easily, SL then returned cache to its hide.
Now back to the car to cool off.
TFTC

Caching with Snickersallan and Patrol14.

Despite the 34 degree heat it was a reasonable walk along the pathway. A nice cool car was waiting at the end.

Log signed and replaced at 1:50 pm on 21 November 2017. TFTC, MUZZDAWG11

MEGA ROAD TRIP - Alexandra Mega 2017 that is. : Day 2: We finally get there. [8)]
After spending the night at Heathcote Mrs. Aussie M&M and I were up early for the drive to Alexandra. After caching our way to Broadford we met up with Bushfire and 6Hinemoa2. Too many names now to put in the logs so we simply used the team name GOTHS to save some space. Time to now cache our way to our farmstay accomodation near Alexandra.

There was light rain and wet, wet long grass and it wasn't long before I was soaked through. The others weren't fairing much better.[xx(][xx(]
We were on a trail. Buy not the right trail and nor at the end. After all the rain lately the rather inaccurately named dry creek flowed between us and GZ. Finding a very treacherous way down, then across and up the other side we started to search around GZ. Strangely enough whilst searching in totally the wrong spot I was able to see the container. So after extracting myself from where it wasn't, I proceeded to make my way to where it was. The log was like the rest of us, a little soggy but we made a mark. Now to get back across that not so dry creek. [B)]

Thanks MUZZDAWG11 for this cache.

It was wet and rainy and really cold when we did this cache. Brian really wanted to get this one. I really wanted to get dry... Brian and the other GOTHs won, and we made a wet, soggy find on the way to Alexandra. TFTC.

On our way to Alexandra and this was on our way and gave us a chance to stop and stretch our legs, but not for long as it was pouring with rain.

Thanks from mogni

A quick find on the way through.

Found as part of my 2017 Alexandra Mega experience. This cache added to the fun and enjoyment of my trek to the east and back from Adelaide. While there were a few thunder storms, there were mainly clear skies and I never saw a snake! [^]

Thanks to MUZZDAWG11 and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

The day has arrived to head off to the 2017 Mega, up early and hit the road towards Bacchus Marsh to join up my very good caching mate 2Hinemoa6 and off towards Alexandra but with a few stops along just to break the journey as you do.
Thursday was a wet miserable day with light rain and then fog as we climbed higher.
We meet another two of our caching team here being Aussie M & M and Brisal5 both from SA. From now on we logged as GOTHS +2 as we all live in the hills.
Stopped at this cache as it was on our list, soon located, log signed so on to the next. We do carry pens that write on wet logs.
With hundreds of caches to log most will be cut and paste but I do thank all the owners for their thought and effort that has gone into placing a huge variety of hides.
Thanks MUZZDAWG11 for placing this cache.

Took the wrong track did a scramble found a cache. TFTC

One of our last finds at the end of a very long day of caching. Thanks MUZZDAWG11.

Found with DiamonJs and joojoo57 in between doing the nearby 'mighty trail'.
TFTC MUZZDAWG11
Found November 13, 2017

Despite recent reports the container is fine but the log book absolutely soaked. Couldn't sign it and didn't have a replacement. But great location. Love Broadford Common.

Hi there MUZZDAWG11.

We found your cache **"End of the Trail..."** at 12:12:00 PM today. (This makes our find count 18392).

We started the day off by nominating a cache some distance away from our camp site and then took a route that was mostly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route.

We found 2 caches today & DNF'd 0. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** .

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Thanks MUZZDAWG11

Good weather but just little showers ons offs, anyway easy to find ..
Very bad wet lognote as diffculty Sign in with Whitepaws9..
Thankyou for having us here..

Tftc. Backup logbook pretty wet but still usable

Thanks for the find

Logbook soaked, back up log damp but signed. TFTC

.

Thanks for the find

Log book is absolutely soaked photo to prove find

Found it very wet log book requires replacement tftc , inspector REX wife and dog.

Took a while but I managed to find it in the end. I couldn't physically sign the log book as it is very wet, but left my calling card. I cleaned it up as best I could and replaced some soggy swag and took some papers and rubbish, but this cache really needs some maintenance. Otherwise nice spot.

Weeds have overgrown GZ.

No luck for Suscoe today, the area is overgrown with that sticky trailing weed.
Had a bit of a look in the likely spots but nothing for us today.

Find number 5522 at 1:09:33 pm
Heading to Mansfield by the slow road and grabbing a couple of caches along the way.
Pulled of the highway and into Broadford and the rest is now history.
Walked up the path from a nearby cache for a quick find but found the log book soaking
**Thanks for placing this cache MUZZDAWG11**

End of the trail with a bit of a hunt. Fortunately came up trumps. Tftc and series

Enjoyed a picnic lunch in nearby park while out for a pleasant Sunday drive. Quick walk up here and located it. TFTC

After parking the car, it was a pleasant walk along the track. Once at GZ, accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Muzzdawg11 for the cache.

Cache was open when i found it, so everything inside extremely wet. Managed to sign it, cache does need maintenance. Tftc

Found it

Nice stroll for a cache.

This cache was found using a Garmin GPSr, Montana 650t, Oregon 550 or Dakota 20. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

Found whilst on a road trip from Adelaide to Heathcote. Today's task was to complete the Dad's Mt. Disappointment Driving Lessons power trail, reach my 1000th caching milestone with friends and round off the day by attending a dinner event where we were staying. It was an early start but we found heaps of caches, ate wholesome and delicious food, drank some amazing wine, engaged in scintillating conversations - there was plenty of laughter and lots of fun!! [^]

PLEASE NOTE: given the size of our group and our time constraints, in some logs we just put our caching initials (eg. GL).

Thanks for the cache

Found on a 3 days tour of Victoria.

The team had a great time finding all but 5 of the caches we attempted.

A great time was had by us and thanks to all who placed caches/

Apologies for the generic logs.


TFTC

The purpose of this weekend's mission across the border was for a driving lesson on Mt Difficult with dad and today was the day [^]
The group rose early, made our way first to the oldest cache in Vic. and gathered a few more smileys in the area before gathering at cache number 1 of this fun series, and off for a very pretty drive inthe forest.
Definately a rewarding way to spend a day
Cheers and thanks for this find

Found 3:33:00 PM, whilst out with Muzza for our May joint caching expedition. Today we concentrated our efforts North of the city.

TNLN, thanks MUZZDAWG11 (F=112 H=8).

Another long weekend....another trip away..this time 1/2 of our team headed to Albury for a weekend of caching with Rapidlywild and Coruze. We collected a few caches along the way down and also around Albury on Friday night. An early start was in order on Saturday and we headed south to Mt Disappointment for the target trail and anything else along the way which happened to come up on the radar.

The trip was not without its mishaps, Rapidlywild left some bark behind when she went down a couple of times and our entry sprained her ankle, again. But all in all, a great weekend was had. Lots of caches collected, not much sleep was had, and lovely weather.

Thanks to all the cache owners for the placements and giving us a reason to come and check out another area of this country of ours.

Thanks to Rapidlywild and Coruze for another enjoyable weekend.

A long weekend, what does that mean? Well GEOCACHING of course

Plans were in place to get out this long weekend with one party of the FurfacesLL and head towards Albury. We had organised a weekend of caching with Coruze which included puzzle collections (Albury/Wodonga) and power trail targeting (Mt Disappointment) and what ever little town we can invade along the way.

Alot happened this weekend, lots of caches, lots of laughter, many km's, long days and long nights. We all walked away battered and bruised after this weekend but it was worth it and would do it again in a heart beat lol

We had finished the powertrail on Mt Disappointment, checked into the Motel in Broadford, we were all battered and bruised but we decided to kick on for a little longer. We went and had some dinner and continued our night a little more. Nice easy find here.

Thanks MUZZDAWG11 for the placement of this cache[^]

TFTC. Angus the great GeoWestie assisted by grey nomad carer Lis Brown on a journey from Shepparton Vic to Geelong Vic then Coolah and Port Stephens in NSW and back to Shepparton before going to Tasmania.

Mrs Gruff wanted to stop and use the facilities nearby, so I set of to find this one on my own. As usual, I ended up on the wrong side of a waterway, but luckily today it was a quick dry crossing to GZ. Thanks MUZZDAWG11 for this nice little hide.

Love the picnic table on the way in! Took us a while to find but got it in the end! With myshell22. TFTC.

#210. It started to rain just as we found this cache, I guess that makes it our last one for the day! A nice walk to get here (and back in the rain...) tftc!

Easy find good spot

Second find of the day for our Christmas adventure, thanks!

Follow the track and jump the creek
Gotcha

Nice work Chan 5456
Together we worked it out

Nice tricky cache thank you

I had the day off so with the good weather I decided to plan a road trip out to find Melbourne's First cache and pick up as many others as I could along the way.

After making the historical find I headed into Broadford on my way back to look for the range of caches hidden there as well. This one took me a bit longer than it probably should have as I wasn't sure if the mentioned tree was bushy or just dead now. Eventually I made the find, thanks for the cache Muzzdawg11.

The log is very wet and the swag is all rusty and has become junk. The whole thing badly needs a proper clean out and a fresh start.

A quick and easy find as we clean up a few caches around Broadford. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Another great find on a geocaching trip around the area.
(LOG IS WET) TFTC

Find #26 of 40 at 9:35:00 AM on my Mega Melbourne week - not a big total, but it turned out to be a fun & sociable time. But all good things must come to an end and it was time to start heading home again. Today I was travelling from Kilmore to Albury via Beechworth, with a 6+km walk in Beechworth, so took the opportunity to find a few caches along the way.

This cache is in need of some TLC - the plastic bag for the log book was very wet & I had nothing to dry it, so the log was put back separately to the bag (not inside).

TFTC MUZZDAWG11 - and providing a reason to break my drive for a rest.

5131 Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 0950. Made the find then proceeded to empty the water that was in the container. The cache really needs some TLC. The only thing is the log book has stood up to swim. SL Tnx MUZZDAWG11

Very sneaky. Look under.

Yay!

Shadow and Mrs A stayed on the other side of the ditch while I crossed over to find this one at 2:05pm.
TNLN
thanks muzzdawg11

Initially walked along the wrong track. Instead of retracing our steps we scrambled down through the dip which brought us within metres of gz. A quick find was made. Thanks.

Found it under the log in the bushy tree

Found it under the log in the bushy tree

3rd find on our walk, didn't have a pen to sign the log TFTC ☺

Quick find once I worked out which side of the creek to be on. Just started to rain on this freezing lunch break so hurried back to the car!

After a short stroll found easily. Signed and replaced. TFTC.

Good place for a cache we enjoyed the short walk to cache which was quickly found.
Signed and made swaps then replaced. TFTC.

27 May 2015 4:45 pm tftc lovely walking trail.

Taking friend (and some TBs needing a logged visit) on scenic tour and pointing out where I had previously found caches.

Nice walk to take a break from driving. Found the cache quickly. It's in good shape. TFTC

Main thing is to look low, and move a few things

[red]Find #2163 Traditional #1813 [/red]

After visiting the Organ Pipes National Park today, we were wondering what to do with the rest of the day. We originally were going to have some lunch elsewhere but missed the turn and we are glad we did. We had never been to Broadford before and there was an Easter event on. The Na'wal kiddies had fun at the event, we had some Easter eggs and a great coffee. As we were driving around the town we stopped for this one. Didn't take to long to find however the log was wet. Returned as found.

[blue]Thanks for this cache hide, Muzz Dawg 11. [^] TNLN [/blue]

Thanks for the cache! There were no muggles about but the horses next door all noticed me poking around. This cache is a bit damp

Forgot to mention in my previous log, the cache is wet inside and needs some TLC.

Being tall has many advantages. Just not when you're finding this cache! lol. After navigating to GZ I soon had the cache in hand. This is a beautiful area of Broadford, I'll have to spend more time here one day. Plenty of caches to find around the creek! TFTC.

Nice hide ialong nice walking track. TNLN TFTC.

Today we came on a four hour drive to be able to collect GC7A so naturally we do what cachers do and collect as many caches as we have time for nearby.
We had parked nearby to collect a cache and then did the short walk to arrive at GZ. The co-ords are spot on. Hubby left a little DNA here as he hit his head retrieving the cache. SL TFTC

I can't believe it took us as long as it did to find that especially as it's colour sticks out bad haha had fun with it though thanks for a great hide

Another find on our trip to Melbourne, its so hot were not quite used to this coming from the Highlands. TFTC

I had planned here to do 3 caches from the one spot but I parked 70m from this cache unfortunately on the wrong side of the creek. It was still running but a careful rockhop and wander through probably reptile infested grass I reached terra firma again and soon after a cache.
Thanks MUZZDAWG11

#2793 - 11:30; Day 2 of the great Sol de lune, fitzy_1965 and LuckyL10n road trip from Canberra to Melbourne and return was off to an early start so we could gather the last of the information we needed for the two Great Aussie Icon Hunt multis, which had inspired this trip. The final pieces of information to hand, we collected a few caches around Bulla, then it was off home again along the Hume Highway.

We decided to take a detour into Broadford to collect a few of the local caches. Having finished troll hunting, it was now time for a stroll. Luckily I chose the right track and was soon at GZ where a short search produced the goods. TFTC MUZZDAWG11

9086 + 1014 = 10100. Found during day 2 of the Windmill run down to Melbourne and back with Sol de Lune and LuckyL10n.

A casual discussion a few months ago led to the planning and execution of this road trip down to Melbourne and back for various Windmill and other caches. After grabbing the last of the required windmill info and some caches around Woodlands we started heading north towards home.

We stopped at Broadford as there was a nice collection of caches here. This one was a nice quick find at GZ once we were on the 'right' side! Signed, returned and we were off to the next one !

Thanks again MUZZDAWG11 !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....
