I cannot see any information that suggests to me that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement, therefore I have no option but to archive the listing.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include **GC Number and Cache Name**) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

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.

Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

### **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. Your prompt attention to any log that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers, have a read [here.](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** . . . . . . . and this Help Centre article tells you how how; [Temporarily Disable and Enable ]( http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 )

**Please respond to this situation by 27th March 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 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 cache 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.

This has not been seen for five months. The bridge in question as several newish planks and the process of the repair quite likely exposed the cache to view. Despite requests for maintainance the CO seems to have lost interest and this is a lovely spot to bring people to find an actual cache.

Road trip. Got together with mogni, her bro and his kids (DAP) for a quick trip over the border to Werribee for an attempt at the infamous Eagle Rock cache. We spent 2 1/2 hours all up at Eagle Rock for a DNF. So of course we just had to do a few others as well.
Oh no another DNF. But then again we don't seem to be the only ones and with such a specific clue I doubt the cache is there..

Cache no where to be seen. Needs a visit by the CO

Again Nnf today

15:40
Third of five DNF's on the run!
We accessed the hint and then we looked high, we looked low, we looked in, we looked out, but today there was no way we could work this one out! Based on previous logs perhaps there is nothing to be found!
Satellites today had the GZ 15m SW of where the hint put us.

Thanks anyway to CupCakeDuo for bringing us to this location.

15:41
Five DNF logs since 25/9 suggests it is about time the CO checked on this one to ensure it is still there.

Also, it is classified as a Traditional cache (container at published co-ords), but the GZ is some 15m from where the hint suggest the cache is actually located.

No luck after search
also too many DNF

Could not locate this one gps kept sending me into the water

Bettyboo3747 and I jumped into the geo-chariot and went down to Altona and Hoppers for a few local caches.
Well, I guess we are not Beginners, so no luck for us here today.
Thanks, Robmc.

We came, we searched, we did not conquer. Obviously we are not looking with beginners' eyes.

Started off a bit average waiting to get to spot indicated in the hint - held back geopup to let a pram come through, only to be thanked repeatedly by some pretty persistent ants. It all went downhill from there - searched and searched and only found a broken plastic cup. Hope we were just having a bad day and it hasn't been muggled.

Visited with geokids to make some trades and continue FLAB's geocoin tour

Yay my first find! Thanks. Beautiful part of the world

Nice walk and easy find.

Found it

I stepped in dog shit trying to find this...

We were in the area today to get a bit of fresh air, a few walks, views and geocaches.
The coordinates were sending us to a different area, but a quick read helped us narrow down the options for GZ.
Took the Jeep TB to move it on. Left the decoy cache container that we found nearby. Did not see the other Traveller.

Found

Nice easy find with jsinclair94 on our morning of caching

Took nothing, left a turtle

Thx for the cache

Great hide but had a little trouble wrestling with the troll

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there CupCakeDuo. We found your cache "Beginners Luck" at 11:21:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 10409.
[Blue]
We thoroughly enjoyed our "stroll" around the path here today.

Thanks for not placing an eclipse tin or a 200ml Sistema here. For over ten years we have watched the quality of caches get steadily worse and worse. Once upon a time caches seemed to be "regular" sized,and well stocked with goodies for kids to swap. Nowadays it seems like every other cache is small and devoid anything to induce children to enjoy the hunt. It made us feel really good to find this cache in a "special" place.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 9m NE from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Grabbed Trackable: "Travel Flower Geocoin."
Dropped Trackable: "Three Sisters Peaks (CO)" Green Jeep Travel Bug
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

TFTC!!!

Found today with Bazinga01.
TFTC!!!

gps way off and not 14th the post is in line with the 17th panal

This is our 4th
Loving this

Didn't find it

Found it! THANKGOD JLA269 knew how to property count. Put in Green Lizard and a Owl Key Decorator. Took nothing. Well hidden cache!

Spent over an hour Here and still could not find it.....

The coords seemed a little out but the hint is exactly where the cache is. I found it in good condition so the "Needs Maintenance" can be removed. No trackables were found in the cache though. It seems I don't do much caching during summer so to get my terrible stats up for January I decided to come out here and find this one. Thanks CupCakeDuo.

The cache was nowhere near where it said it was but I eventually found it

DNF however found Anzac biscuit recipe near foot bridge and also pen with green cap near second foot bridge. May have been located by a muggle and taken apart. Please look into this. Cheers

Huuuurrhhh???

First one. Found it. I think this is going to take up a lot of my time now

Couldn't find it! All I could find was an Anzac biscuit recipe

Quick and easy find on a day dedicated to geocaching
TFTC

With only three days remaining in the year and aiming to average three cache finds per day for the year, a trip out of town (Geelong) was necessary to push the numbers up a little. So, with the weather fast closing in, the wind rising and the rain threatening, I grabbed Geohubby and headed up the road.
By the time we arrived, the wind was blowing a gale, the sky looked like it was about to burst on us and we were under the pump. I followed the GPSr which had me at a tree in the creek so after a quick glance at the hint, we adjusted our position and Geohubby eventually made the find 10m from where the GPSr said we should be.
Thanks CupCakeDuo !

Found with frog_lady on a night of

This was my 4th find of the evening.
With tarbear22 & her Geo-puppy.
In the area to do some caching and go looking for Christmas lights.
Cheers & T.F.T.C =]
Safe travels and hoppy caching!

Found by caughtatwork at 14:28 on 21/12/2014
First cache of the day and with the GPS pointing to middle of the dry pond, we resorted to the hint to narrow down the search area. The excellent hint had us checking two locations and the 2nd had the cache.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks CupCakeDue for this cache along these (dry) wetlands.

Great one with the kids. Just happened to be across from a friends house!!! TFTC

Quick stop on the way home from work, easy find, TFTC.

Good find with the kids. Tftc

Nice easy find thanks to the hints but no trackable

Nice easy find tftc

Easy to find especially with the clue. Mum liked it too.
Thanks.

Jj is an awesome finder!

Tftc! Left 1 x TB and took 1 x coin. Beware of cyclists!

Found after party nearby.

It was relly easy to find

Great hiding place! Got poked in the eye by a tree but still a cool place

Found it but no pen to sign lol so coming back

Co-ords are off about 10mtrs but found it with Lyriix

Took aboit 10-20 minutes to find was pretty easy but was fun

A little tricky to find

Out for some Geocaches to break my streak of about 6 weeks without looking for one. Picked a rainy, cold arvo to do it, but was out anyway so decided to give it a go. At first I was a bit unsure where this one was, but then noticed a lot of trampled bushes nearby and that helped pinpoint its location. Nearly got sprung while signing the log book too (thankfully I had moved off the track so they couldn't see what I was doing). A nice spot for a walk so off I go to look for some more.

After the coords seemed to be out a bit at the last cache, I thought that they were too at this one, only to suddenly realise that it was me at totally the wrong spot! [B)] Once I was at the right spot it was an easy find at a nice location, thanks CupCakeDuo.

Pretty easy spot, a little creepy to do at night though. TFTC

Hence the name - took the opportunity today to show the ropes of Geocaching to a friend today who took to our wonderful game like a duck to water - tftc

Nice quick easy find, thanks for the cache
