I cannot see any information that suggests to me that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement, therefore I have no option but to archive the listing.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include **GC Number and Cache Name**) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash.

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

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

Geocache maintenance is a cache owner responsibility and includes regular visits to the cache to ensure it is in proper working order, especially when a seeker reports a problem with the cache.

Your prompt attention to any log that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers, have a read here: [Cache Maintenance Guidelines.](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) The guidelines advise; **if you can't fix it straight away then Disable it till you can.** This Help Centre article tells you how it can be done; [Temporarily Disable and Enable.]( http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 )

**Please respond to this situation within 28 days - so as 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 indicating 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 and archived without further notice.

**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.

Dug around in dense leaf litter with no luck. Read through logs. Sounds like this cache is MIA

Spent a long time looking but no luck. Given the history I think this cache is MIA.

No good guys zero finds recently for this cache

Looked for awhile and read all the backlogs. With only one find in 18 months makes me wonder if it's still here? Be great for the owner to please check and confirm. Many thanks. Lovely spot to wander with the family and dog.

Had a good look around with GeoMum but no luck today. GPS all over the place. Maybe another day. Thanks anyway

Couldn't find it

Looked but did not see

We spent about 20 minutes here with The Coffees, carefully searching around our indicated GZ and out to about 12m around, but we were unable to find anything. Our thanks anyway to sammybowden.

No luck today, time for coffee, thanks for bringing us to the area hopefully better luck next time
Cheers
The Coffee's

Found with natti

Had a hunt but couldn't find it. Didn't realize the last two logs were DNFs until we got here

No luck for Suscoe and we searched for quite a while.
A suspicious sticker on the ground suggested something had gone wrong here but as we know, never say it's gone until the CO says so!

DNF. I think this one might have been moved :/

Nice location

What a lovely suburban development with lakes and walking paths. Thanks for bringing us here.

Should be wrapped in black tape to make it a bit more camo'd

The days caching run was planned and involved a challenge cache, some caches for the 7 souvenirs of August as well as a couple of puzzles and FTFs along the way. From Melbourne it was up to Shepparton, then over to the Whroo series then back down through Mernda and then across to Olinda before the final stretch for home. Many kms traveled and some great caches found, with a few DNF's as well.

I had traveled especially from Melbourne to find this cache to fulfill the requirements for a challenge cache but it turns out I may have not needed to in the end. I have found many caches around Shepparton but none around Kialla yet and this was a nice spot for a cache. The area has changed heaps over the last twenty plus years that I have been coming here.

Cache found and log signed. Thanks for the hide.

Thought that it was about time I ventured out to nab some caches close to home that had been sitting on my map for quite some time.
nice Quick easy find

#847 In Shepp to do some shopping and visit family so we grabbed a few caches whilst in the area and this was one of them. A spectacular Winter's day which meant there were a few muggles about walking in the sunshine around the lake. We managed to get to gz, find the cache and return to the path without being noticed - tftc sammybowden.

Nice bright find!!!

Great Job great hiding

TFTC

It's a rare occasion that my work takes me to Shepp, so I took the chance to grab a quick find while in the area. I hadn't been to this part of Shepp before.

Out for a quick cache after collecting Lachie from daycare. I needed to find one today for my 366 grid and this was the only one I could manage in the remaining daylight! The coords were spot on but I had to approach GZ from a different direction before I could spot the cache.

Many thanks,

Found it

Quick find. Cloudy day had gps all over the place. Tftc

TFTC.

Clever cache, I must admit that was not what I was expecting, I was a little dubious about the area but followed the coordinates and they were spot on. My pen decided it was tired of signing logs in caches so refused to cooperate so I took a photo of the log and my sorry attempt as proof

Found quickly with no muggles around. TFTC

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

Nice and easy.

another one down. added another piece of paper to sign

Found it after some search as it had gotten dark. But forgot a pen so couldn't find it.

After a lateish start to the morning, decided we would only head to Shep for some caching & a visit to SPC.

A quick find as a little exposed. Made more secure. TFTC SL

Found this last night with my future father in law on our planned weekly bike ride
Unfortunately I forgot a pen and the logbook needs a bit of a spruce up aswell but thanks for the cache.

Found while going for a pre dinner ride around the three lakes with Brendan. These lakes are a great place for a walk or ride.

The logbook needs to be replaced. Unfortunately I did not have a spare one with me.

TNLN. T4TC.

Cheers,

Found it

Found it!

Nice spot SL TN

Reperio at 1600.

Had to come into Shepparton to pick up a few things and catch up with family...and in passing through...stopped to grab a few caches. Haven't been out this way in quite a while, so it was nice to revisit it. This is a lovely little spot.

Gratias sammybowden.

After doing the fireworks for the Relay for Life last night in Moama we are taking a leisurely drive home grabbing a few caches in places we don't normally get to.
We enjoyed the drive into this one with some great looking houses and gardens all within access to these pleasant parkland's. The cache was located quickly where the GPSr was pointing and our name has now been added to the log
Thanks sammybowden for the cache.

We parked around the corner and managed a quick find today, felt a little bit exposed with this hide but had no muggles troubles this morning. TFTC sammybowden.

Out and about with au. fait today. TFTC

An easy find for me. Out with o.kay TFTC sammybowden

Found 30/9/13 by ruddy explorers & friends nice little hide:)

Staying at bonnie doon for the weekend with Happy chappies family and mine, we headed to Shepparton via Euroa for the day.
Cachers in one car and the muggles following up in another.

A very interesting new estate here,

thanks sammybowden [:x]

This area certainly felt a bit weird - like a little bit of outer-suburban Melbourne in the middle of the country! Still some lovely spaces around here, and after we parked the car (somewhat suspicious with some locals out and about) we wandered about this spot a checked a few possibilities before ilovedrwho discovered the cache. Just as well too, as this sort of vegetation always gives me the cache-creeps!

TFTC

We decided to make a stop at the lake for look even with gale force winds pushing us along. The GPS was doing a spot of dancing, but we managed to get there in the end. SL TFTC

Lovely area. Will never live here but my caravan by the river will be a similar feeling.

Found this cache with PaddyJak TFTC

Quick find today another one for the August challenge thanks for the hide sammybowden

Nice and easy

Tricky but fair hide, nice location. Left a swap. TFTC

Quick find. Beautiful and quiet area. TFTC

Nice cache hide but cachers beware. My little mate Bella and I just could not resist a pile of doggie waste. We loved it but the humans were not so pleased and threw both of us in the nearly lake THREE times. That was fun too, so it will not stop us rolling in the next lot we find.

Wow FTF we can't believe it. A nice easy find in a lovely area.
Congradulations on your first hide sammybowden, co-ords spot on. Hope to see lots more of your hides.
Signed log and replaced. Thanks for bringing us to this location as we have not been here before.
