Hi there cazza_thats_me,
This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **MAY** need some attention. You would have received an automated email from Geocaching HQ recently which explained what needs to be done.
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) .
**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) within 14 days,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?
You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:
- Check on the cache, repair and/or replace the cache 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 praises.
- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (within 14 days). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. For ongoing issues (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to speed.
- 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 I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) it 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.

Nope not here. If it’s magnetic as previous logs suggest, it is definitely not here

*A wet and windy day in Wonthaggi!*
It took way longer than it should have to get a score on the board here!

Out with Zedaycee celebrating our 22 year wedding anniversary. Quick easy find nice spot for a hot chocolate
Having previously dnfed this, it was a quick find this time. Night time, school night makes for less stickybeaks TFTC
Nice quick find. Fortunately there were no kids on the playground. Probably a bit too hot for anyone except cachers visiting Wonthaggi hoping to grab a few caches. TFTC
out this way for the new years events, collecting caches along the way and passing time between events. a few DNF's for the day but other then that and the hot weather, was a great day out. thanks for the cache.
Finally got the hang of these and they're easy now! TFTC. Log is over full and needs replacing.
Suscoe had a bit of exploration work today trying to find a good number of caches that we missed this week as we were wandering the countryside of this area.
We are enjoying wandering the country roads and taking in the farmland scenes around here, Some fine looking cattle too.
A cloudy start to the day with drizzle keeping things cool, a strong wind at times and later on some delightful sunshine too.
32nd find of the day.
Getting late now,
A quick find here.

Hi there cazza_thats_me.
We found your cache "Footy Fever - Saints"at 12:12:00 PM today, & this now makes our find count 12636.
Our cache run today started with another aborted attempt to fill a hole in our D/T grid - the rain was so bad that we just headed back to the car. Our alternate plan was to log a random cache and then navigate from cache to cache using the "next closest" method before returning back to camp for a rather late lunch.
After we were suitably refreshed we trudged our way along the beach to finally find the elusive 5/4.5 cache.
Today we ended up logging 16 and DNFing 1 caches.
Coordinate Accuracy: We found this cache around 2m from where our GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: A Smiley Badge.
Thanks for placing this cache for us to find,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

Found @ 1330 pm. Have found one of these caches before so that was a bonus TFTC SL
After finishing work in Wonthaggi, I grabbed a few of the Footy Fever caches around town on a cold winters day. The near by neighbour was cooking a bbq in his lean-to and it was smelling very yummy.sl Thanks cazza that's me for the cache.
Caching with With GJMMelb today, I had parked my car and jumped in with them. We had found a cache nearby and were heading past this one that they had already found thins morning
I jumped out and made a quick find :)
Thanks Cazza

We had a really busy day today with GMelb having an early morning trip to Tullamarine airport to drop off 2 nieces, followed by playing violin at a friend's Church. A quick lunch and we headed down to meet ms-enchantress for some caching followed by having tea with a friend who is down here looking after he Aunty and then driving to Warragul to pick up our son and 2 mates from State Youth Games!! Phew!
We dropped a cheesecake at our friends Aunty's house then GMelb noticed this cache only a few hundred metres away. GMelb had found and signed and returned the cache before I even realised as I was sms-ing ms-enchantress
TFTC cazza thats me - Hawks are the best !!!

A great days caching with many differing experiences, some where I walked right to the cache and others where I needed to hunt around a bit. As usual I have enjoyed the various challenges set by the CO's and the fact that I get to cache with friends and am outside in the great outdoors.
Many thanks cazza_thats_me for placing this cache .

Catching up with late logs.
We were sitting at the event when a few teams decided to go look for a few caches whilst we were waiting for the all important meet to cook.
We joined Alansee,The Coffee's. The Drovers, micaparamedic, maccamob and The Swaggies for a quick trip around town.
The decision was made here for only a couple to get out of the car as not to arouse the suspicions of the neighbours. The cache was quickly located and all our names were added to the log.
Thanks for the cache.

Found by Mary & David, along with Crackers, Drovers, Coffees, Micaparamedic, Alansee and Swaggies, at 1225. With neighbours so close, we were in full stealth mode. Had an idea what we were looking for which proved correct, so a quick and quiet find. Our thanks to cazza_thats_me.
Found with the mob (et al) Coffees, Crackers, Maccamob, Alansee, Drovers & Micaparamedic on a trip around Wonthaggi doing caches none of us had done. We had heard on the grapevine that this was hard to get at due to the activites of the bloke next door so upon arrival we elected to send two people in rather than the mob. Cache was soon found and logged discreetly before heading off.
TFTC cazza.

While sitting around at the event, we were invited on a quick drive around town to grab a few caches.
What else would you expect in Victoria, than a footy series. Go Eagles !
Many thanks for placing this cache, cazza_thats_me, for us and others to find.

What a hot day for geocaching but can't help ourselves, just have to get to Wonthaggi to attend the New Years Events and do a touch of caching as well. It was so bad that we didn't end up finding many. Instead we opted for a late start, socialising and even a break for ice cream. Got hooked up on what I thought This one was and I was definitely wrong but the cache was eventually found by BDTHamilton. TFTC
Out doing some more caching after the Wonthaggi's 2015 New Years Event, and we happened upon this one. Lisette said that she had been here before but had a DNF!!! Since I am still quite new to this, I was a little bit chuffed when I put my hand on it. I have seen these before and mostly those ones were created in fact by Lisette. he he he
Thanks for another great cache.

Two full cars pulled up to search for this one but knowing that there were potential issues from the neighbour we pulled up along the road a bit. Then a couple wandered down to GZ for a quick find and leaving the neighbour undisturbed.
This was the fist time that the cache had actually been there in three visits for me. Nice to finally have it.

Have had several attempts with no luck. Very hard to get to as there is always someone watching the area.
If I hadn't seen one of these before, I would never have found it. However it was an easy spot if you know what you are looking for. Cache is in good condition even after all the rain.
I think I found a clue? But I couldn't find the cache!! The man next door came to mow so I had to scurry off. I'll have to return again!
Our second DNF on this one. No luck in December, and July bought us no joy again. On discussion at the Dinner event later in the day, it seemed to be common thought that the cache is no longer there. Thanks to cazza thats me for the hunt though.
Second time here for SUlly and I, and second time it's been missing. Sadly, will have to wait for our next visit, thanks anyway cazza that's me
Looked with highrod, but could not find it. Had an idea of what we should be looking for. Lots of cars at the house next door.
My second DNF on this one. Discussion at the event this evening indicated very strongly that this one has gone again, and that the neighbour may be awake to it.
We came to Wonthaggi for the weekend for the mid year dinner event from Ballarat with passenger misscheif18 from Bacchus Marsh.
We had to DNF your cache Footy Fever - Saints on 5/07/2014 3:10 pm. We searched but didn't find the cache today so this cache is a DNF for me.

Done one like this before otherwise I think we would have been here for hours. Go saints!!!!
Found by The Empire @ 3:15pm
Quick find. I remember this type of hide being the 'new' thing. Thanks for the cache cazza thats me.

Found at 10:24 AM GAFF1. Ahh - this time it was nice and clear and there Poor Saints with just 1 premiership - hehehe.
Thanks cazza_thats_me.

No luck here for Bogonghazy and I today either. My late logging and reading of the most recent logs, confirms at least that we
couldnt find it, as it seems now, it wasn't there. Thanks for the hunt though, we'll try again on our next trip down.

Had a feeling we knew what we were looking for with a '66 on it, but no luck for Sully and I.
Once again, due to my late logging, am pleased to see the replacement is nice and quick.
Thanks anyway CTM

DNF with The Swaggies and The Morris. We looked and looked to no avail. I think that a few others here for the events will unfortunately have the same experience.
DNF at 12:59 PM. We think we knew what to look for, but nothing - couldn't see one.
Is it possible to check it out while we are still in Cape Paterson?

Very clever, first of this type I've seen. Inventive without being impossible. Loved it! TFTC!
thought I would brave the terrible weather and try for one today after my first search of the day was unsuccessful. Despite this being a quick find, I was still soaking wet just from getting from the car and back again. TFTC.

This is the nearest cache to our new home so have been leaving it over school holidays even though I knew exactly where it was from walking past many times. Geo husband was cutting the grass so I strolled down to pick this cache up. No body around today. Tftc
Have replaced cache in new location gsp died whilst setting new coordinates will hopefully get out tomorrow and fix it up
Quick find today. Not sure if this is the original hide but log said "replaced" as of Oct 3. TFTC. Maybe that's why we didn't find it last time.
