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.

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

----------

Hi there Poiter.h,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **MAY** need 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 I am having to take the next step and temporarily disable the cache - 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 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 to check, repair, 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 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 and processed accordingly.

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.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Bunjil

Had a last ditch effort today with a TOTT to try and locate this one after periodically searching several times over the past month with no joy. Have msg CO but he doesn't reply - cache is probably there but with no extra hint it's a bit like a needle in a hay stack.

Out again for a caching morning in the excellent company of Tiz13 with the target to find caches along the rail trail Here the numbers were manipulated to provide some useful coordinates but there we could go no further in spite of a lengthy search. As this cache hasn’t been found since July 2020 it maybe need checking Thanks Poiter.h

couldn't find the set of coordinates to work out GZ, perhaps next time

Couldn’t find the first clue. Looked everywhere. I’m just not getting it

Will try again another day

The Sun had come out and living in Baw Baw shire we were not locked down so I decided to head out for a day out of the house and a nice walk along the Moe - Yallourn rail trail, Gippsland has some great locations to visit and lots of caches that have not been found in awhile, so with my new caching gear gloves, sanitizer and mask. I had a great time touring around the area finding caches and exploring new places. Was classic of the CO I so I kind of knew where to look but I did not find it, I rang the CO who confirmed where it was and thats where I had checked, I thought this was going to be a DNF but I decided to get My magnet out and run it along the ground and jackpot it pulled it up out of the dirt.

Thanks Poiter.h for the cache.

Clever hide had us going for a while, First cache of this type i had seen..

Searched everywhere hope it’s still here

My fellow cachers have previously found this cache. So I headed off down the path with one in tow with the other taking the vehicle to the other end so I could pick up the last few on this section of the trail. By now we had all met back up and were nearly caught by a muggle - well if you call an extremely woolly sheep that has obviously been running wild for a while that came up the track stopped at a distance and looked at us for a time before turning around and trotting back down the track.

Thankfully the solve and search did not result in the wool being pulled over my eyes and I was able to claim the find which fills a hole in my finds by hidden date calendar.

Thanks Poiter.h

No luck with this one... I am not 100% sure with my co-ordinates though. I will have to come back and try again, preferably when there are less snakes in the area Hope it's still there!

Worked out the maths on this one using pen on my hand and then had to double check the results. Failed to find it on my first visit here, but found it on my second visit later in the day.
Pretty sure I had already looked there twice, but obviously not well enough.
Thanks for the cache Poiter H

Not sure about the multi but found the one right here

HA freaking Ha... we were quite confused for a bit... damn you lol found with Shai.marelle. TFTC

So... I'm an idiot. I can't delete my last comment.

Very cute, as in small cute

Devilishly tricky hide being assisted by natural camo. Tftc

It turned out my joke to Sixy2Sue was actually the answer to the riddle...

A very humorous cache! Did fool us for very long though. Found with GrassyKnoll.

Out on the trail with grannygeo64 suzibound and cjprex we got there worked it out very clever hide tftc

Out and about with some fellow cachers and got this one. Good one. Always a treat walking along this trail. Tyftc.

Having a great arvo cache'n the rest of the rail trail with grannygeo apple460 & cjperx
Tftc
And thanks for the series Poiter.h

Well this one started with a bit confusion as we tried to work out of the coords but not to long after eveything was worked out and we found it with grannygeo64 tftc

Once we worked out the co ords it was a great hide very clever use of sign found with lilmissgeo

A great day out caching with SQAU.
We headed west to find new caches.

Great multi cache, SQ found in the end.

This is the 9th cache of the day.

This is my 1214th cache all up.

Thank you for the hide Poiter.h

Out on a sunny day caching with gwd.aussie
Great walking trail
Thanks for a clever hide.

Credit to this find goes to GeoDad. Thanks. Silkyie

After ringing poiter.h and telling him I was going to do the rest of the rail trail he said he would meet me and come along for the walk. spot on co ords great little multi. Thanks poiter.h for the cache.

Haha. We have had these easy to check multi's before. They do make you check your workings though.
Easier to find than retrieve. Lucky Mrs Ski has small fingers. Teamwork helps.

The call of the Rail Trail got to us, so BettyBoo3747 and I loaded up the deadly treadlies and set off for Moe and the MTY trail.
A very familiar multi type, but took longer than it should have to put our hands on the log.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 7477. The forecast for Moe was a hot summer's day so we decided to leave Melbourne early and head for the MTY. Robmc and I also hoped to log a Challenge we had recently noticed, once I fulfilled a couple more requirements today. We hit thick fog not far out of Melbourne which was not in the plan. Wet feet and a fraying temper to start the day.

Droll. The workings had me well and truly confused - what was I missing? Nothing at all as it turned out and the hide had Rob bamboozled but soon I had the sneaky devil to hand. Not nice, but amusing in an annoying sort of way.

Thanks Poiter.h

A nice easy multi without having to travel too far. Thanks Poiter h.

A quick find thanks

Interesting what appears when you tap a structure thanks for the cache peter had the coordinates correct last time I came here !

Find number 10 on the afternoon of freedom with kyabbott was made very quickly. another simple but sneaky hide Poiter. Such a lovely day for a walk, made all the more satisfying by the success in our hunts. We must be starting to think like you after doing this trail. TFTC Poiter.h

A clever and tricksy multi using an item I'm becoming more and more familiar with the longer I cache. A quick calculation later and I'd barely had time to say "It's -----" and Kato was onto it. TFTC Poiter.h, very sneaky.

Didn't find this one today but noted the numbers and think I now know the coordinates . I probably new them before but didn't realise it at the time . Will have to wait for some more free time to go and grab the few remaining ones We have missed out on .

A neat little multi, that is the way I like them. I like that the trail has now met up with the lake and provides glimpses of the water. It really is a beautiful lake.
Thanks Poiter.h for the cache.

I did a MTY cache maintenance walk today.

The cache is fine and in the right place.

Happy hunting

Poiter.h

Went out bike riding today to try and log a few more caches . Not much luck today could only find 3 numbers

Good fun along the rail trail. Signed log, thanks again Poiter.h

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 Poiter.h 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 Poiter.h for the effort and placement of this cache TNLN SL

Congratulations kmps for another FTF. Mmmmm, I'm on to this one. I also enjoyed this multi. Thanks for a clever hide.

I hate multys , but I did like this one. Thanks poiter.h FTC. ***FTF***
