Earth Element Geo Cache Lara, Victoria, Australia
By Sub016 on 30-Jun-13. Waypoint GC4F8H1

One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, therefore I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation by 10 August to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to date, or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Nice find log to wet tosign.. needs maintenance

Nice easy find log and inside container is wet and can't write in it

Log and inside container are wet can't write so took photo for proof

Nice easy find log was went so scrnon took a photo for our proof

Tfth but it was soaked

Found this cache today on a major caching adventure to find 50 caches in 1 day that were all at least 1km apart from each other to meet the requirements for a NZ challenge cache that I am doing presently. This was one of the caches that I found and that helped me successfully reach that goal. Thanks a lot to dbelco, krankitkiwi and na'wal and all other cache owners for hiding the caches that helped me reach this goal. Found this one after a bit of looking with the torch (it was getting dark as I found this one). It was cache number 9 for the day. Signed log today but didn't swap anything.

Thanks for the cache Sub016.

Was in Lara overnight, so thought I would drop past and collect this cache on my way home. The cache has some metal items in it that have gotten wet and are subsequently rusted, might be worth the CO going and checking it out, TFTC

Out with Darth Briji to put a few smiles on the map around Lara.
I passed this area everyday while working in the area it was interesting to drop in and look around.
Thanks for the Cache Sub016

Last week I came down to Lara caching with Biggles Bear. There were many caches we ignored as they had already done them, so today I decided I would try to clean up the area. Quick find in an obvious spot. Thanks to Sub016 for the cache.

This was a quick and easy find as we headed into central Lara for a bakery lunch which incidently went down a treat on a cold day. Glad I didn't have to walk too far here.
Thanks

TFTF another easy one

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Cache found with Beenasse when we visited Melbourne and the brginning of the great ocean road.

Thanks to Sub016 to show me this with this cache.

Found with my friend Ckronos during our trip from Melbourne to Darwin!
Thank you for the cache

Found 2:00:00 PM, during a geocaching trip around Avalon, Lara and environs.

TNLN, thanks Sub016.

Tftc easy find watch for bees

Quick drive by. Lits of rubbish here. Tftc and the smiley!

Found with Trailrunning on another Monday caching adventure, We were both had time off work so this gave us the opportunity for a big cache run, we headed out to the You Yangs and then headed towards Geelong, a good time was had with some interesting places visited. Thanks Sub016 for the cache.

Having taken the day off I'd planned to grab some caches in the Geelong North area, and was happy to hear that Rebel had also taken half a day off. Meeting at the end of the Eastern Freeway we headed over the Bolte and Westgate to gain access to the rich rewards of an un-visted and un-plundered area. We had a great day of caching with my tally 60 Finds / 2 DNF's. We will be back next week to do it all over again, as I've solved all the puzzles in the Geelong area and it's not time to collect. An easy drive by . thanks

Nice quick 1 on a nice Arco geoing quest

Quick find on a smokey afternoon after the bushfires. GPS led me straight to the cache. TFTC

I couldn't find this geocache, maybe I'll have better luck next time!

Eagle eyed 6 year old found it in 1 min. Good fun

Nice find in the area we used to call home, TFTC

Found it. Found water in container. Dried items out and replaced in original position.

Found @ 7:47pm, find # 2774.
Biggles1024 and I headed down to Geelong for the day to attend the Christmas Smorgasbord of events, while picking up our unfound caches on the way and in between events.
We were on our way home when we stopped off at this one.
We arrived at this one and approached from one side, I then backed out and followed the geotrail on the other side and the cache was then spotted.
thanks to Sub016 for placing this cache.

Find #792

Stemicmitsar and I again teamed up for a trip to Geelong. Attending as many of the five Xmas events being held there was the purpose of our trip. Whilst in Geelong we thought we'd have a grab a few more of the local caches. This took a little searching because the terrain rating had us looking in places where we would not have otherwise looked. Terrain 1 means "wheel chair accessible" and this cache is definitely not wheelchair accessible. SL TFTC

Found this cache as part of my caching trip with JAB's to Victoria's Mornington Pennisula and Geelong area. The 29 hours claimed 158 GC caches and 2 GCA trig points. Some great caches were found and the southern beaches were a highlight.

A nice day to be out & about around the area... Decided to take in Lara and surrounds today...
A bit of a search, made the grab, signed log & replaced...

Thanks for bringing me here...

Was an easy find

We found the cach and really enjoyed searching for it. There was some really cool stuff in there

I found this geocache using the Geocaching Intro App. TFTC!

Knew where it would be because everyone hides them in places like that

A nice easy find in company of 6hinemoa2, the cache was in good nick, thank you for the cache Sub016

Found the cache description very interesting and duly noted for future reference. Cache was located with mudbrick with out difficulty today.
TFTC Sub016

Found in an obvious spot, but tucked away from muggles' view. Drained container. Luckily, log and swaps are protected by ziplock bag.

Out with kobi & Bec. Tftc

Took a little while but found in the end. TFTC!

Easy find! Took a bit of crawling!

Did have to duck.

Found on an on and off wet day caching with my dog. Had a much easier time here than at Water Element. TNLN. TFTC Sub016

Good quick easy find.

My days caching started a little later than usual due to the shift in daylight savings. Square Pegs and I decided to head West on a variable Spring weather day that included fine patches to wind to torrential rain later in the evening. This was a quick find with accurate co-ordinates, I like that.

Thanks Sub016 for bringing me here today.

This was a quick find today as we continued our way around exploring Lara.
Thanks to Sub016 for this cache and the other Element caches too!

Find 4 out of 9 for the day. Nice n' easy. Cool spot. Pity about the rubbish. Went on a bit of a caching adventure with one of my good friends. Could have been better weather. But still great times & muggle free greatness! NO DNF's to chuck in the bargain. Cheers and thank you!

4 for 4!
Great geo day so far!
Good camo

TFTC I remember riding my bikes here when I was little. Cheers.

Nice quick find to start of the morning, out caching with all the little brothers

T4tc! Good hide!

TFTC! Foundwith S.Piddy & Jesstu666

Nice cache almost gave up until I had a proper look good cachers are hard to find these days lol tftc

Easy find on a morning trip out and about.

TFTC

Quick find, thanks

Took longer than necessary here due to the cache being well hidden.
Thanks Sub016

After a fabulous morning spent caching at the You Yangs, we must concur with the log of krankitkiwi. Sadly this site really devalues the high ideals of the cache notes! Spot on co-ordinates made for a quick find.

FEEDBACKTO CO:- The TR of 1 for this location needs to be reviewed, as the cache site is not "Handicapped accessible" i.e. wheelchair.

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt Sub016.

Found the geocashe

Nice easy find thanks

What a disgusting site!! Not sure why you'd put a cache here from all the rubbish. Glad it was a quick find

Second look for this one! Much nicer weather and without the geokids meant a quick find. Took nothing, left nothing. TFTC!

The nearby graffiti was certainly a very amusing read, spent some time in the camo searching for this tricky little cache, plenty of foliage to hide in from nearby kids on bicycles who passed infrequently. TFTC Sub016

A simple cache find here for me today.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for this cache today

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found in short order along with 2 young gentlemen passing who showed great interest. Bit disappointed that it was not geo-CASH but gave then a leaflet and am sure they will follow up. They live nearby so dont be surprised if you are sprung!!

Found today with Sorceysal while on a day of caching in the Little River, Lara area. Thanks Sub016.

Dutch Frangipani managed a day off work today, so what better way to spend it but in the freezing cold caching in an area that we had not done before. I was glad I took the 2WD as I doubt my little corolla would have managed some of these roads. It was a day of good company, many laughs and fantastic conversation.

Dutch Frangipani quickly had this one in hand and then off to the next.

Thanks for the cache Sub016

Nuber 9 for the month. Luckily the newer caches in the Lara area are giving me plenty of opportunities for a find each day in August. A quick drive-by on a trip to Melbourne. SL TFTC Took TB.

Second find for today. Another quite location, always a bonus. [8)] After a bit of searching we came up with the goods. TNSL Dropped off TB. TFTC !!

Good find

Took a while to find but seemed obvious afterwards, good cache

Nice spot thanks for the hide

Easy find. Good hide.

Good typical cache. Lovely tree for kids

Tftc

Just had time to squeeze this one in on the way home from rounding up the new caches in the You Yangs. Spotted the obvious place, but still took a while to find the hide. Not too many muggles so was able to have a bit of a hunt where I should have checked in the first place!
Thanks Sub016

nice find

Found after a bit of poking around this afternoon, accompanied by Neville_devil who lived very close to this site as a child and remembers the old quarry. There's been plenty of rain in the past couple of days, and the container seems to have stood up well so far. We made a couple of swaps, signed the log and were soon on our way. Took geocoin. TFTC!

My sincere apologies to all cache owners for what I am about to do. Unfortunately, I have been unable to keep up with my logs for the past 5 months or so, meaning that it is becoming very impractical for everybody involved. Over the these last few months I have certainly found some fantastic caches showing off both the beautiful areas around the world, and the ingenious minds of cachers alike. I haven't had the greatast find rate over the past few months, but that is also due to the same reason I have fallen behind in my logs. I would like to thank all cache owners for their wonderful contribution to the caching community, and again I sincerely apologise for the generic logs.

Thanks for this cache Sub016

Had to come this way with Atraversiamo to bring her daughter to Soccer game. So while training was happening before the big game we went a hunting. Dropped TB - World Frisbee TFTC

Our 3rd find on this wet and cold afternoon. TFTC Sub016

Fairly quick find though we're not sure the hide location would be wheelchair accessible? Nice to see a few more caches on this side of G'town.

Thanks Sub016

jandaw's 148th find

Out and about for my daughter's soccer game and thought we would go hunting during the warm up. Nice easy find. On first assumption, started heading for the middle of the field but the compass soon told me otherwise. TFTC

Sub016 has been talking about this hide with us since the planning stage so we felt today was a good day to go hunting for it (shame abt the rain). Tftc sub016 some items are bordering on the big side for the container tho!!

Out for the day with Team Crackers and Alansee this one was a quick find since the area was people free.
Thanks for the cache Sub016,
Regards The Coffee's.

We were keen to catch up with Honeysucker again at The Cachers dinner event so Diane and Mrs Coffee met up with Alansee in the morning and headed off to Geelong to
do some caching together. This one took us a little while to find, we checked the clue but that didn't help any and we finally found the cache in an unexpected hide and our names have now been added to the log.
Thanks for the cache.

found site, with someone else in the spot finding and putting it back. he (Michael) thru it to me and I put my name in the book.
good hide

Found by The Empire + H @ 2pm
This one took a bit of searching, shouldn't have, it was pretty straight forward in the end. kaygeepalmer rocked up and I threw the cache out to her to make the find. That's teamwork, nice to meet you. Thanks for the cache, Sub016.
