Hi PegLegMeg02,

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. The cache is being temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed.

Whilst it is recognized that as a result of the current COVID19 situation, it might not be possible for a Cache Owner to just pop out and check on a cache, we still need to know that you are on top of the issue.

CO's of caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis will be given some extra time to react. Caches where the cache owner does not currently feel it is safe to maintain will not be archived in the normal time frame, as long as there is some indication from the CO. **Don't let a lack of communication kill this cache.**

#What should you do:-#
- Should the Regional Health and State Government requirements allow it **AND** you feel it safe for you to maintain this cache now, please feel free to do so.

- **Alternatively,** what you need to do is place a Write Note log indicating a date when you expect/hope you might be able to attend to the issue/s.

#Please Note#
When the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment from the CO as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned and processed accordingly.

**JUST A HINT:-** In case you are not aware, there is a 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)

Bunjil

No longer wanting to maintain - no offers for adoption

Didnt find dont think its there anymore

Found it

No luck finding this one unfortunately

So much mess, no ants, some rocks, couldn't find.

Too much rubbish

Couldn't find it anytips

.

Couldn't sign the log as there wasn't one.
Cache is half there we think. Have sent the co a message

Ok

Heaps of rubbish in the area. And looks like the council has moved some branches around. Might come back once the area has been cleaned up a little..

To much sticks and rubbish.. gave it a good search but found nothing.

Warn out writing pls fix

On way home from work. Very wet day/night. Found it at night. Thanks PegLegMeg02 for placing the cache

I’m trying to fill in some dates on my calendar so this one was today’s. Took a while to find, lots of rubbish around and nearly gave up but once I approached it from the right direction it was obvious thanks to the hint, I would’ve had no chance without it.

Thanks PegLegMeg02

Junior Found it straight away a little off the coordinates but easy find

The hint definitely helped to make this a quick find in the early morning whilst still dark. Otherwise it may have taken some time.

This cache was a nice quick find. I was concerned by the recent dnf but can assure it is there and the hint was a huge help. Not sure about the ant as could not see any during my visit. Rockin little cache.

Thanks PegLegMeg02 for the cache.
Found at 7:25 pm on 29/1/19.
Find # 1216

Bushes to long and couldn’t use hint to help find the geocache

Did not find had a look for a long time

Parked on the side of the road. Sadly looked for almost half an hour and couldn't find.

Robmc was first to spot this one too, so in the bag !
Thanks

A pile of puzzles and Wherigos that we had worked on, but not finished was the aim of the caching today. Travelled on this hot day with Howjen567 to see what we could find.

We couldn't spot any ants digging around here, must have gone away for the Xmas holidays!
But we did find a cache and a log to sign. (well we actually replaced the logbook here, so finding the log wasn't hard!)
Thanks, Robmc.

Lots of rubbish and glass around, not a good spot for young kids didn’t find it though

My first one, thanku

Found with my cousin this was her first geo! Log was wet.

Log need replacement

Took a bit to find well hidden

Hmmmm

Nice quick find!

I can never find this one lol

Gps tool is to the wrong tree, but after widening our search a little we soon found it. Log needs replacement, its soggy and mouldy.

After a failed search locally I thought this had to be easier, so in the geomobile I jump and park at the nearby shops to make the short stroll to GZ.
Happy days, spotted pretty quickly.
SL TFTC!

Night search - nice one

Hard but we found it

Found with Annabelle, Emily and Hannah

Awesome container! Nearly didn't get this one! Think the coordinates are a bit off. TFTC xx

Tricky.... And impatient children

Didn’t take long to find, clue made it a lot easier. Sister and I were bummed out that we couldn’t find a previous one, definitely lifted our spirits

Find 1528
We parked the car some distance away as we were in the estate. After a fair hike we zeroed into at GZ. It was found with trouble, but minus a log book. I have place a temporary log sheet in the cache.

After caching with Adventures of Tillie

Found the cache however only case found was spread around site and no log book or otherwise around

Will need looking into

Couldn’t find

Tricky one! The kids found it.

Look where it said it was not there

Cool little hide...parked at the servo and walked down with my geokids. TFTC

Met up with a newbie cacher to find some local caches. A nice easy find

Thanks

Man this was a hard one but very good rock on!

Yes i rocked on

No longer required maintenance.

Found with DC Metro. This was the final cache that we found of the night's adventure. We needed the hint though DC Metro knew where to look for this one and how to get here. Finally located the cache and signed the log.

Thanks for the cache.

Hello - Thanks to a previous finder who gave me inspiration, I went back for another look spreading my search further, ignoring the dead tree's and trash everywhere, I finally spied something out of place. With the cache (not a micro) finally in hand I replaced the log with a nice new one in a small zip lock bag. Feels great, Im not as blind as I thought LOL.

Ive been again today with extra help and still no luck. I dont believe its there any longer.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

I scared a muggle sorry... I was looking down, then looking up and around when I saw a lady peeping through the bushes at me, when she saw me look back she took off at great pace. At this point I thought it best to take off myself. This one has challenged me so I will be back

TFTC. Easy find.

Might want to check as weather is taking its toll. Maybe save log and replace.

Cheers

*No ants today, it was too cold. Found on a cold and wet Sunday morning. Had to park the car and walk back to find this one. SL. TFTC. Cache still in good condition. Thanks for putting a cache here. Cheers. Nice walking track and park areas.*text**

No find today.

A quick and easy find as we cache our way through the area today. It is a shame there is so much litter and broken glass around the vicinity of gz. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Came out during my lunch break today to find a cache. This is the one I found after trying a couple of others. TFTC

Nice little hide TFTC

Great container! Clue was helpful x

Definitely a cool container. Thankful for the hint. TFTC. x

Quick find today on our little Geo day. Just getting a few of the stragglers around this area. TFTC

Looking for ages my dog and I couldn't find it

Love this one, had a very nice look and finally found it. Thanks to the creators for this wonderful time your giving me chasing these hidden chaches

Nice

Found it after looking for about 10 mins then notice something that wasn't right and bang there it was

The chief was still working out how to use the new app. but he got us there in the end.
Thanks PegLegMeg02.
Chiefton!!!

#WHAT

Woohoo #WHAT

Easy Peasy

Found with GeoRo11 and GeoJulz. It was a quick find once our phone put us in the right location. We had to hide in the bushes a a mum stopped and went off crock at their little one. Next time we come we will be bringing gloves to collect rubbish

Find #2066

Had a work meeting out this way so once I was done I had a little time to spend caching before heading home. I picked up a few of the Melbourne Mega traditional caches and after a bit of circle work I found a reasonable way to approach this one. After I let a muggle dog walker pass on ahead I zoomed on my GZ. I was confident on one particular spot but it was only after starting to walk away admitting defeat that I spotted the cache close by. As others have said the rubbish here is a real shame. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache PegLegMeg02.

Found as Nicnax with PapaGrouch. It is a pity that this area seems to be a dumping ground for rubbish. TFTC

TFTC

late log but oh well TFTC

I've been meaning to grab this cache for quite a while now and today is perfect as it's the 29th Feb and gets me the leap year souvenir . Parked at the nearby 7 eleven and headed over to GZ, spotted straight away, signed log and replaced. Thanks for placing this cache.

Well done. Shame about all the rubbish in the area.

Found little Ants hid spot.
Log wet

Thanks
Hunter

Found him with a little looking. TFTC

Woo hoo, first find for GeoMum today!

omegaman1971
Working in the area for the next month so great opportunity to bag some caches on the way home. So sad to see so much rubish here. But thanks for the cache. It rocks!!!!

Omg finally!!! Took two visits but finally got this tricky one!!

Foind it with Rachael

Doing a few drivebys tonight with grumygramps1 to break the week up. Lots of cache about so should be a productive night as I close on 1000cache for 2015. TFTC

First one! Tftc! (Found with the placer peglegmeg)

In the area for the Mega and catching up with other geo family and friends. We found this cache, in between doing the nearby series.
Thanks for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.

Found this trail while visiting Melbourne for the Mega event... NSW cacher in company with South Australians! What awesome weather for Victoria. Freddo did the solving. I just jumped out of the car when a cache took too long to find...! TFTC!

Catching up on some long lost forgotten logs, found with Yoshi Warriors and Happy Feet during the mega weekend. So sorry about the late logs. TFTC

Apologies for the extremely late log. I have let myself get badly behind and am still trying to catch up.
Eww! Much rubbish in the area when we were here and a rather sodden log, but unfortunately we had left our supplies in the car. Signed the back of the log as WK. Found with Kunama and SusanDW. TFTC
