Hi there Cache Owner,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **possibly** needs some attention. You may recall having received an automated email from Geocaching HQ which explained what you needed to do.

Unfortunately, nothing seems to have happened, so the cache is being temporarily disable - see here: [**Geocache Health Score.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713)

**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 you need to do:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache** - once checked, place an Owner Maintenance log and then enable the cache.

- **Place A Write Note Log** - indicating a date when you expect it will be restored.

- **Adopt Out or Archive** - depending on whether you want it kept or for it to disappear.

Full details for each of the above choices can be found at [**GEOCACHE MAINTENANCE**]( https://wiki.groundspeak.com/display/GEO/Victoria) on the Regional Policies page.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of the above. Well, when the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned. [xx(]

It would be far better if you decide, so please do something before then. Please don't send an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Not there

Didn’t find but found this cool guy

No cache, just two toys on the ground.

found where we thought it should be and a couple objects but no cache

I think it has been stolen because I was at that same tree with the rock about the deaths and was looking for about 45 minutes and found nothing so if somone sees this message who has found it can you please say if it's there

While staying in Melbourne we picked up a few caches in the area and this was one of them.

Cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Easy find. But really nice

Was our first find! Great spot, but lots of bull ants so I didn't want my kids to touch it.

I had decided on a mini road trip for this weekend, starting in Melton for breakfast on Saturday morning and ending in Ballarat for the GeoTour. What happened in between was the mystery!

After the CITO I teamed up with The_Tritonz again for a second day of caching adventures. If they weren’t sick of me yesterday surely today will do the job.

We found the cache but the logbook was full. Fortunately The_Tritonz had a supply of replacements so there is now plenty of space for future cachers.

Thanks The Seven Secrets for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

Found

After attending a CITO at Hopetoun Park we headed back on the highway for Melton to cache for the afternoon with RoamingHowie.
A nice tribute.
Logbook full so we have replaced with a new waterproof sheet.
Thanks The Seven Secrets for the placement.

Alex watches over it

On way back to Melbourne from visiting friends and found this one.
Needs a new log.

This one looks to be go missing quite often, it may just havr happened again?

Tiny little thing found it. Put a silly rock face with it you will see my rock faces everywhere now. Love the Elliott’s

TFTC, log book full hut still a fun find

Big wolf spider 9inch be carful !!!

Find #2942 for me. Found at 11:58am with my dog Bonnie after attending the Intervening Days event in Melton. I found the container on the ground. The log-sheet was also full so I squeezed my name in between a couple of other names in the list. I wasn't sure where the container was supposed to be, so I left it on the ground but gave it some cover which will probably blow away with the next gust of wind. Thanks for highlighting this wonderful memorial The Seven Secrets, and for sharing the heart-warming stories in the cache description. Bonnie lost her long-time "partner" (also a chihuahua) in July last year and so I've taken her caching ever since. She loves it! Thanks for the cache!

Log book is full and cache is missing it’s camo. Replaced it a little less open.

Visiting Melbourne for PAX and decided to stay for a few days afterwards to explore. Today we're hiring a car to drive around to a bunch of retro game stores - this happened to be close by to one of them so we thought we mayaswell get a quick grab while we're in the area.
Cache was found on the ground with full log. We replaced it where we assumed it was supposed to be. Nice little memorial for some surely well-loved friends.

Found it on the ground, I think I returned it to where it was supposed to be.

Finally a chance to grab this one.usually when I drive past there's someone there selling flowers but tonight on way home from dinner it was free for me to do what was needed to be done.

Thank you The Seven Secrets for placing and maintaining this cache. I've enjoyed finding it.

Making my way up the Western Fwy towards Beaufort for the long weekend and as I had left earlier enough I had time to call in to find a few caches and to hopefully pick up a few smileys along the way.
I didn’t get all that far till I spotted a few that I had missed on previous visits up this way.
Doing a very big detour as I’m now heading in the opposite direction but a cache is a cache so off I go.
This is the last one in the area as I now have to start heading west again after spending a bit to much time in the area.
They have done a similar trail over in SA near Tailem Bend which has quiet a few caches in it dedicated to pets.

Thanks The Seven Secrets TFTC.
