As there has been no response to the last request/s to attend to this cache, the cache is being Archived on the basis that it has been abandoned.

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.

The [Geocache Maintenance guideline](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported. Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the [Help Center](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

If you wish to contact me please send your email via my profile - [Bunjil,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

### **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.

I've just noticed that Darren_73 actually found this last year.
Therefore the past 4 seekers have not found this, in the past 9 months.
....
It would be nice if the CO verified it is still there.

The co-ords took me to the middle of the grass area ... so this made the searchable objects quite wide. ...
So, I came up empty handed (with A and J, and N in the car).
Again.

Dnf. Think may have found the spot but no bison.

Has this cache been checked? Have looked a few times, sure would like to find it!

Tried a couple times for this one no luck

Found wif paulnmax 26.12.15

Too tricky for us today

A little easier than normal. tftc!

Found with Rachii. TFTC

Found with Kearnzy

Found it straight away the second time we looked for it

Another easy one.

Woo hoo nice and quick and gps was spot on

Woo hoo nice and quick and gps was spot on

At first struggled but then went back to basics and finally found it with some team work from GC.rhi

First one we went to for the day, and after the GPS was jumping around and we weren't having much luck decided to move on for the day. After finding a different cache which had a previous few logs as DNF our confidence was restored so we decided to return. Read the description more thoroughly and used it to put us in the GZ - found within minutes. Always happy to avoid a DNF! TFTC

We arrived before lunch with chicken66 and decided to do a circuit of the lake as the weather was clearing, which made for a good easy walk.
A quick stroll across the road and we soon had the log filled and returned. These are a favourite container of mine.

Interesting spots you've brought us to today. Sad recalling the fires, glad none today as very windy. Tftc

As innocently as we could pretend to take our photo from the suggested location, we tried some options and found the cache. TFTH.

Easy find so cute

Almost went straight past it. Very nice find. Easy if you're looking

Emma and Shannon

Cool little cache. Took a while to find while trying to be discrete. TFTC

#1338 This turned out to be a difficult days caching in the Churchill area collecting a total of 25 hard earned finds along the way. Some were tough nasty hides and in the end we conceded 5 dnfs! Thankfully a quick find here after a dnf at the previous, a quick look at lake view and we were on our way to the next - TFTC Happy1956.

This was a nice stop off on our way to completing the rest of the Churchill caches kyabbott and I had yet to find. Despite the swarm of bugs in the vicinity and the gps doing a little jumping around the find was made relatively quickly. Log and cache in good nick. Tftc

Finally found it after a few minutes of searching! Cute container! TFTC

A day out in Church with megs_q

Great spot for a photo over the lake. Cache was well concealed. Thanks for the cache and the view Happy1956

A phone call from Slink1 asking ‘what’s on for the weekend?’ found us down in Morwell for other reasons and it was a case of well we’re here now and so the hunt began Many thanks to Happy1956 for the time and effort of looking after this cache. TNLN SL

Off on a weekend sweep in the Morwell area with many good caches found many thanks to Happy1956 for the effort and placement of this cache TNLN SL

Good hide, signed log, TFTC.

Found a beautiful sunny morning before it got too hot, the gps seemed to be swirling a bit today so I had to use my eyes instead. eventually found this well hidden cache. tftc

Nice day for some caching

Great views over the lake & township. Hard to imagine the firefighting helicopters filling up here. SL TFTC

After looking with our eyes instead of our GPS we made a quick find. TFTC

Two pairs of eyes and spot on coords lead to this find.
TFTC C & J

A quick find.TFTC

2013: 274 Days In A Row - Drove as close as we could get to try and stay out of the rain. Managed a quick find and we were on our way again! TFTC

Pretty spot up here although the weather was bad, we still managed to enjoy the few for a moment before running for the car! TFTC!

Found this very nice container after zeroing in on GZ. Top afternoon to be out on a bike ride. Thanks for placing a cache here to hunt.

YAY - found it today while out on a bike ride. Thanks Happy1956 for the hide. A lovely diay for a push bike ride, a brilliant container and a fabulous view.

This cache had the GPS bouncing all over the place and I was close to calling a DNF when I went back to the place I had looked at before and low and behold there was the cache.
Our thanks to Happy 1956 for the cache with a view it was worth the look.
Regards

We've just finished the Winston Wander Geocache trail and now its time to tackle Charlies Circuit. This first one took a few moments to find as GPS wanted to take us in circles under the trees but experience helps sometimes. TFTC.

Had more of a chance with this one geo wife stayed in the bus. TFTC.

After enjoying the nice view, I headed to GZ the first place I looked I did not find, started to search wider around and went back to check the GPS again. I did not have much time and given up to come back, had a last look at the first spot and there it was.
The coordinates where spot on.
Thanks for the hide and the nice view.

Trying to get my numbers up & this one was close to where I stopped to answer the phone. Nice

Straight off night shift BettyBoo3747 and I set off for Churchill to check out the Winston Wander on our deadly treadlies. We grabbed a few others in the area, both before the trail, then a few more on our way to Sale.
A nice view over the lake the we had just ridden around.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 3802. Robmc and I had driven from Melbourne this morning and hopped on the bikes for a ride around the lake. After lunch we attempted a few more, this being the first. We were surprised to be 2TF here with only one name on the log sheet before us. TFTC

TB "Scrat" visited your cache whilst on his Great Aussie Adventure.

*****FTF*****

@ 10:00 this morning.

I made this one a park & grab. Co-ords where spot on, this cache was easy to find when you know what your looking for.
