Unfortunately there has not been a response (or regular update) from the cache owner within the period requested and, as per the original advice, this cache is now being de-listed (Archived) as abandoned.

If there are components or remnants of the cache, please recover them as we don't want to litter our environment.

If you wish to contact a Reviewer regarding this cache, please send an email via the profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the Cache Name and GC Identification Code.

We continued on after collecting the adventure lab and headed to this cache. OzHockeyChick had already found this one but I hadn’t so we set about searching for the cache.

It was found in pieces with parts of the cache strewn across the ground. We put all the pieces together in its hide and signed the soggy log.

This one definitely needs a CO visit.

Thanks Dean(o) for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to find.

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###

----------

Hi there Dean(o),

It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is an issue. The cache has been 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.

**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.**

#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 logs of praise to roll in.

- **Place A Write Note Log::-** Reviewers don't have a crystal ball, so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, or you have been in hospital, or the area is in flood, 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 a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
**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 the page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks, so as to keep everyone up to speed.**

- **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 those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when a Reviewer next looks at the cache page, it is likely that they will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) 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.

**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,

Good cash long grass and bushy area beware of snakes and posinous bugs they can come out at anytime of the day or night and year

TFTC! ️

Nice spot! The container’s still damaged and is in need of some tlc. Tftc!

Well, I found it, but dismayed to report that it had been stomped on and the container thoroughly broke. The log book was there, but damp. Have re-hidden it, with lots of camouflage. TFTC!

Cache container has been severely damaged.

Had to park near some houses

This is my first geocache and it was definitely very satisfying to find! Thank you to the owner for placing the cache.

Tftc!

Fun cache! Bit tricky with so many houses nearby. Hopefully we weren’t spotted by any muggles. TFTC ️

Bit off the beaten track. Felt very obvious but luckily no muggles nearby. TFTC

With time for a cache before playing tennis at Macleod tonight, I stopped by here for a little walk and a cache. Sad to miss seeing the Camp Koral trackable.


Quite a few dog walkers around but it didn’t seem to matter as I sat on the log writing this. It’s just starting to rain so I hope that doesn’t impact my tennis match.

Thanks for the cache.

TFTC, and I’m excited to help the trackable on its journey

That was easy but really fun. Took two treasures but left more behind Harvey says thank you! We also dropped a trackable!

Trying to reach the peak so to speak. A quick png in some inclement weather. TFTC!

thanks! i found the notebook, badge and a couple other little toys

Easy one. Thanks

Brilliant, on to the next.

Easy find on vacation. Thanx and Merry Christmas.

Cheers for making my adventure productive as well!

Lots of friendly dogs!!

An easy find once we located the correct old log!

Nice hide! TFTC!!

New container and log. A few new goodies for the kids too.

Let the finding continue.

Being renovated with new container and log. Back soon.

New container one the way.

Quick find. Cache is damaged. The log book is waterlogged. Could not sign.

Hi

I think something happened to the container

Found it , has been damaged will need replacing

Just as I was about to give up, I saw it in the corner of my eye

First find, thanks for the awesome hide!

TFTC

Best outing all year!

First cache ever! Thanks so much to the hider!

Grabbed this one as the turn around point of my 6km run. Really enjoyed the run through the green corridor where they are doing habitat restoration. The lorikeets were very loud. Nice quick find, tftc!

First cache

Great hiding spot, and treasures for a young kid. Notepad and toys are going moldy as water had leaked into the box.

Second cache! 14/9/21

Thanks! That was a little trickier than expected. Great for kids. Left a little swap:)

Found this one a bit later at night than I'd hoped but it was a nice quick one. GZ looked quite cool in the light of my phone torch!
Thanks for the cache

Tftc

Super fun find. My niece got a little scared of the magpies . Good hiding spot

Yay found it

Found it before the park rangers did

!

It was out in the open which was a relief because it wasn't where i wanted it to be. Replaced where i thought it should have been with a little more cover.
Thanks Dean(o)

Second find on a day out with geoniece. Cache was exposed so we covered it up again. Took shell, left gem. Lovely peaceful spot, thanks for the family friendly cache!

5yo found it really quickly!

Lovely bush lands, nice cache.

A quick find.
Thanks for the cache Dean(o).

Found

A lovely tribute to Gresha in a wonderful piece of remnant bushland. From a nearby notice board I also learnt about the Stanley Park gum -- a rare, natural hybrid of River red gum and Swamp gum that is present in this reserve. Tftc.

Geokids Mr5 and Mr3 enjoyed this quick and easy cache with swaps! A pleasant Tuesday evening stroll out and about.

Electric scooters in the car with AL's thr target for Spiffy- and I plus a few other caches en route. And we milked every last drop of power out of the scooters with both flashing red when we finished.

A quickish find on our way around the park.

Thanks to Dean(o) for the placement and fun.

Found at 11:22 am.
Today we headed out to do a few Adventure Lab caches on the scooters and while we were there we would also look for whatever else we came across. It was a great afternoon out and about because the light rain stopped just when we started before lunch. We got a little too far from where we parked and I ended up having to manually push the scooter the last 1.5km back to the car because I didn't realise how much downhill riding we had done and misjudged the returning distance and had my first red battery light situation. I survived though so everything was ok.
A quick climb through the fence and our first real (non lab) cache for the day was found fairly quickly.
Thanks Dean(o) for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Beautiful location TFTC

*Found on the 29 Dec 2020 @ 1:56 pm.*
*Cache find # 11216.*

I was in the area to find another cache and seeing that this one wasn’t far away, I stopped for a look but my look took a lot longer than it should have, finally the cache was found, the log was stamped and cache was replaced where it was found.

**Thanks to Dean(o) for placing this cache.**

An easy one!

No plans for today so decided to cache with a muggle friend in an area of Melbourne that I don't know.
Love the story behind this cache.
Left bouncy ball and dinosaur, took nothing.

Found!

Bro

Found

Rocked up and was expecting some sick treasure, never seen such useless items in my life. Disappointed is an understatement.

Great hiding place in a beautiful residential location

First one found by my daughter Indi, great cache!!!

Gresha! It was fun finding you and switching for a Lizard

Abel(5) enjoyed finding the treasure, and it was his first time leading using a map.

Found with excitement by my 5 year old

Great hide!!

Container replaced and pencil added.

Nice find! But the container is Brocken and needs to be replaced, and the pencil is missing.

Found

Found. Easy.

Awesome find...box it broken

Found

Lovely spot. Bella, Kelso and Hamish Caldwell

Thany you

Found it! Easy find. Piper and Jesse strike against! Container is badly damaged.

The container is badly broken.

Trying to find it I was blocked by a few no access signs but got there eventually

I agree with your Treasure (now 10 years old) about those sticks. Thanks Dean(o).

Good spot!

Really good spot, D.S Cassar

Great one! Thanks

SUCH a gorgeous story! In these plague times & practising all kinds of infection control, we've temporarily taken the liberty of not signing the log. TFTC Dean(o), and god bless grannie.

Hard to find gps was taking me everywhere

First geocache

Noice

good

Dropped off a travel bug. Cache in good order but missing pencil/pen.

I'd failed here last year and sympathised with Jacko83 by the end of it, but today maybe the placement was a bit friendlier - it didn't take long at all. I was again impressed by the commitment to native vegetation around LaTrobe. Thanks Deano for bringing me here.
