Hi
This cache appears to have some problems. It is the cache owner's responsibility to read the logs and check the cache to sort out any problems with it and give an indication of when it may be up and running again for people to find.
**The cache is being Disabled to give the Cache Owner an opportunity to investigate and fix the apparent issues.**
Once the cache is operational again, the CO should write an *Owner Maintenance* log advising that the problems have been fixed, and to remove the *Needs maintenance* attribute (red cross) if that is showing on the cache page. The CO can then write an Enable log to return the cache to play.
If the cache cannot be fixed it should be archived.
**If there is no response to this log after 30 days the cache will be Archived.**

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible to be Unarchived.

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.

Seems to be MIA

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

New fence in place and no cache in sight - 4 sets of eyes looking

Seems this Hide hasn't been found in some years..We Went, Looked, Didn't Find..As it was night and there is a new fence that has been constructed very close to GZ We are reluctant to post
a DNF until we confront GZ in the daylight.

Decided to grab a couple of caches while dog sitting the grandkids dogs at Longford.
You would have thought that a person would have known before going into
this area you would have used some mozzie get off stuff so had to keep moving
Found it retrieved it signed it and replaced it. Wrestled with a bigger variety in QLD
Thanks kimmatoo FTC.

Luckily I knew about the dreaded bufo so I wasn't scared
Thanks for the fun & getting me out this way
Tftc

What a great hide yes yes yes out with sister from Melb TFTF

Tftc. Excellent find


Don't forget to bring the bush mans or aero guard... There are mozzies the size of birds.

Mozzie bitten but happy for the find

Out and about on the dirtbike today fixing a couple of my own caches and hunting a couple. Will definitely have to come and do a bit of exploring in this area. For some reason I wasn't sure where GZ was and went looking for something else. Eventually trusted the gps and found the container. Kept my helmet and gloves on try and protect myself from the Gazillions of mozzies that were out for blood. Thanks for placing a cache out here.

Today we explored Sale to Paynesville and surrounds using geocaching as a guide and picking up a few on the way and this was one of them. Back again and made a quick find.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Quick find thanks

Don't know which was more "interesting" - the drive in (and out) or the cache itself! Found on a cold, wet day with taurus1955 and B/dale Bandits. Saw four kangaroos near the track on the way to this cache and a bird flying away with a smaller animal in its claws on the way back. Also a few beautiful rosellas flying about. TFTC

Well Kim, I made it here in my 2WD as you would expect. My passengers, misschief18 and B/dale Bandits were not impressed with the track in but, the old girl was determined to see it through to the bitter end - if that was the way that it was gonna be - but, it wasn't and we were in and out with safety.

Loved it! Haha fun find

Waking up to rain this morning prompted the start of a 200+km round trip from Sale to Bairnsdale (with a few side trips) and return
Many thanx to all of those owners who took me to places that surely I would never have visited if not for geocaching
This was #4 of 12

Spotted a wedge tailed eagle soaring around here looking for lunch

TFTC

Didn't know this fear either (guess I'm fear-less!!). Took some good photos of a pair of eagles circling the thermals above.

Took a little searching to find it. Was thinking it may have been damaged or removed after recent tree pruning/clearing activities. Very well done cache. No mozzies or snakes, coolish day.

Mosquitos were out today in force. But the boys found it! Thanks for another little adventure and the effort put into another phobia cache

After a couple of dnfs went out to check not feeling to optimistic but it is still there safe and sound

Enjoyed the journey to GZ but the cache we could not see.

The tiger snake was not very happy when I walked up to Cz so I left him to baby sit the cache... Will be back

Took a ride out for this one today on the M/C. Had a couple of oh S--- moments when the front wheel hit soft sand and ridding slowly in black leather caused a little over heating as it was 31c today.
It took a little while to find it as GPS kept giving me different GZ probably over heated a bit, but no fear factor for me as I kept my M/C glove on.
Great spot TFTC.

A quick find whilst visiting Paynesville for a few days. TFTC

After completing knot your average cache, we kept driving and ended up here. We made a fairly quick find and signed the log before we were eaten alive by the giant mosquitoes. Another great cache, TFTC.

I was in the Bairnsdale for work, so I went looking for a cache or two, this was one of them.

I arrived at GZ, it was very quite, no Muggles, Mozzies or Joe Blakes.

This one had been bugging me for the last couple of trips out this way, I was so close yet so far. Today was the day that I took the plunge and turned off the beaten track. I had just found Kimmatmoo's "Knot your average cache" and this cache was not to far away. Took the low road but soon found another track which put me back on the right course again. It didn't take me long to find the cache.
I signed the log, replaced and I was off again.
Another one in fear factor series crossed off the list.

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

Cache was quickly found signed and replaced.

Well seeing I was just up the road with your other cache might as well grab this one !! Had to keep up with the series........This one is all about the journey to get here.....Glad I took the 4x4 today. Track in is a bit bumpy in places fun though
Was a bit concerned after reading the log on the snake, all clear today did see one on the road on return trip home so they are about !! take care.
Thanks kimmatmoo for the hunt.

After seeing a very large black snake, a bit freaked out (now you know my phobia!) and then getting swarmed by mossies I gave up on this one and will some back another time. Knew what I was meant to find though!!!

A Second to Find or us today. We were a bit slow off the mark as we attended a function in Bairnsdale and didn't get out here till well on in the afternoon. Picking the correct road was a bit of a challenge, we had good maps in the geo mobile today that helped.

The cache was quickly found signed and replaced.

As we wandered back to the car we were confronted with another fear - Mozziephobia !!!! They were big and mean and carrying possible threats to our well being. Put the aeroguard on when coming down this way.

Thanks Kimmatmoo.

Logged on this morning and saw this one had appeared. This wasn't too far away, so lets go to see where it is. We know this area quite well, and have talked of placing a cache down here, so went for a nice drive around and checked out the area after the big wet recently. It is a very beautiful area and has the feeling of remoteness. It is usually very quiet, particularly mid week and today was no exception. We saw lots of waterbirds and the usual numbers of 'roos and wallabies. A great day and a cache to find also. When we reached GZ, mother dragon pointed in the direction and we walked over. Looked around and soon saw something that looked a bit lost. Luckily both of us aren't at all afraid of these beasties. We both have at times in out academic past met them before in laboratories, so reaching in and grabbing it wasn't a problem. This area has possibly more of what we found at fear factor #1, so looked out for them as well, but it was a bit cold this morning. TNLN , SL and released the beast back into its hide in the wild.
