Unfortunately there does not seem to be any evidence that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. It would appear the owner of this cache listing is no longer interested in the cache and the cache has been abandoned.

As such the cache is being de-listed (Archived). If there are components or remnants of the cache, please recover them as we don't want to litter our environment with Georubbish.

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

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

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.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED**###

----------

This cache keeps appearing on my Health Score follow-up listings apparently because of the DNF's it is scoring.

You may remember receiving one or more emails from GC Headquarters about it - see here: [**Geocache Health Score**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=search&q=Health&area=kb)

Given that the DNF's are relatively recent - 5 of the last 10 logs, I am wondering if you have considered the suggestions outlined in the Help Centre article?

You might also like to consider if the cache correctly located or has is suffered 'cache creep'. Have you checked that the coordinates accurately indicate where the cache GZ actually is? Even a difference of 2m, when applied with a tolerance of 5m, can make a big difference to where seekers might be looking for your cache.

I will leave it up to you, but as it stands at the moment, the GCHQ geocache reports will continue to be generated, you will continue to get emails suggesting your cache is in need of attention and unless you respond, I will, unfortunately, have to disable the cache until it is checked.

Once you have checked on the cache you will need to log an Owner Maintenance log to remove the Needs Maintenance Attribute.

Similar to Collingwood's match on the weekend, we used a lot of physical exercise, faced prickly opponents and in the end failed to bring up the intended result. We will be back!

No luck

Another DNF at this reserve today. Had a pretty good search, but nothing turned up.
Thanks

Sadly a DNF on this one today. Were probably right on top of it but those caching eyes were just not working.

Easy find thanks for the cache

Found it tftc

Too good (or hot) pr us today. Perhaps next time. TFTC

Nice quick find no muggles about tftc

Found with WeRAmused. Nice quick find on a cold day TFTC

Found with MazzyMay on the way to Wonthaggi for a 6 day break. TFTC

Finally found this one after three goes at it. T rating well deserved. Not easy to access on your own.tftc log full and needs replacing.

After finding the west coast cache in inverloch, we sort of knew the likely spot. Yep - there it was. Now, where is he cats hide??? Tftc. Cool series..

We scrambled around looking at most obvious place and other places but no luck.

Hi there cazza_thats_me.

We found your cache "Footy Fever - Magpies"at 11:16:00 AM today, & this now makes our find count 12632.

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.

Been travelling and collecting caches along the way. This been one of many on this trip. TFTC

Fairly quick find tonight, although I'll have to decontaminate my hands and pen after handling a container with Collingwood logo on it. TFTC and Go Blues!!!!!

found this one with crig. TFTC

Out and about with xambo4u and after the event we headed off to find a few caches. Decided to do a little drive out of town. Quickly spotted the obvious location and cache was retrieved and log signed. TFTC

Out and about with 80 degrees and having tested our taste buds at the event we moved on to test our other senses. Having done a few in town we decided to take a drive to the outskirts. We have been coming camping at Cape Paterson for ....years and have never ventured this far out. Nice little town, can that this area would be the most popular spot Easy find, thanks for who ever dropped the nice pen
Thanks for the cache cazza that's me

After a very successful event at the coal mine we were finally headed for home.
With a short detour to let our dogs have a run.
I struggled as much as the Tigers in a semi final until the Magpie told me where to look.
Well done darling.
Thanks for the finals series cazza.

We had not long left Wonthagg's 2016 New Year Event today when we noticed 3 x caches in the area, so we made the appropriate detour.

This one turned out to be a quick easy find and it wasn't long before we had it logged and moved to the next spot around the oval.

Thanks cazza _thats_ me.

There was quite a deal of activity on the oval today as contractors installed an updated drainage system in a large portion of the ground. However, that activity did not restrict access to GZ. Despite accurate coordinates, the cache took a few minutes to find in this very prickly area. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache cazza_that_me.

On a road trip while over for the Melbourne Mega.
Thanks for adding to the enjoyment of this trip.

A nice quick grab today with YouCanDoIt2. We got a bit prickled by the bush, but she had it in hand pretty quickly. The plastic bag for this one is fairly useless now as it has been quite damaged, but the log itself was still in decent condition. I've randomly done a few of this series when I'm down visiting the inlaws, YouCanDoIt2. It is nice to pick them up here and there. Thanks for the cache and the series!

236: Sorcha1986 and I were out on a caching adventure this afternoon and this was our second one for the afternoon. The GPS couldn't decide in which direction it should be telling us, but I decided to head for what I thought was a likely spot and I the cache in hand fairly quickly, despite getting prickled several times by the nearby bush. There was also a little lizard in the vicinity sunning itself. Log was signed and cache replaced. The log bag is very damaged on this one and I did not have a spare bag with me to replace it. TFTC

No.5

Quick find tfkc on my way to 450

My favourite team!!!!! This is the second find for the footy fever series, can't wait to go out tomorrow & find some more! TFTC

Shebec found it

Rybec found it

Nice hide

Found

That was a quick find once I ignored the terrain rating.. Tftc

We saw the T rating so wondered what was involved so headed over. We over looked the hide at first and then spotted some camo to make the find. Nice theme on the cache container. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC

Picked up after visiting the area for a couple of events. Like the containers - that was a good idea. TFTC.

Found on the homeward journey after attending Gonefishen's mid year dinner. Far too many muggles here earlier today, a much easier proposition 8pm!

After finishing work in Wonthaggi, I grabbed a few of the Footy Fever caches around town on a cold winters day. sl Thanks cazza that's me for the cache

TFTC. We had spent the morning readying the Motorhome for our Sunday departure to warmer climes. I was determined to get to 500 caches before we left, so this afternoon did a loop from Inverloch through Kongwak , Dalyston and Wonthaggi before heading to Inverloch.

In my schooldays I was and ardent Magpie. My first wife was a Carlton supporter. To add to the mix, my daughter and sister are dyed in the wool Bulldogs. Because I took them too the football, I became a Bulldog as well.

Headed south to log my 900th find and start on the road to 1000. Arrived at GZ to find the cache partly exposed, made for a quick find with a muggle doing laps of the oval.
T4TC.

Good cache TFTC

Found with Geobears. sorry for the late log TFTC

Found with Allanb and Geobears. TFTC

Found today while out caching with Allanb and Geobears. TFTC

Found very quick as it was exposed with SanB and AmyLouB. Made sure it was covered after returning it.TFTC

Very quick find for the GeoBears and Allan_b this morning. TFTC

Gotcha! Pulled off the main road to make a phone call, once I was finished I thought I'd check if there were any caches here - 64m away there was one - Love the Collingwood theme. TFTC.

Found it nice and quickly with Arat Naws.

Simple find. Found with jengswan and dairy pasher.

Good find with dairy pasher and arat naws.

Camped at Korumburra and today we went sightseeing, picking a few caches along the way.

Parked close by, and no muggles made for an easy find.
Many thanks for placing this cache, cazza_thats_me, for us and others to find.

Glad to have the kids with me for this one. While a previous cacher said that he felt the terrain was overstated, I can see why it was rated as it was. For some of us, this was too hard and I would not have been able to do this one. So well done Cazza for the good rating and thanks for the cache.

Quick drive by after a run down the rail trial. Go the Kangas ; ) TFTC

good cache

Girls were disappointed with team choice....so after some booing, log signed. Tftc

No luck after a quick search in the heat of the afternoon.

07:55
Heading home after a great couple of days in and around Wonthaggi. An early start meant we could collect a few more smilies on the way. Where the cache 'wasn't' left a much sharper reminder of our adventure than where we should have looked more carefully in the first place.

Thanks to cazza_thats_me for the hunt.
10518

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 .

With a Terrain of 3.5, I was thinking I would need to climb or use a ladder.
So at first I looking up, But after a while I found it.

Out caching with Megs_q, SQAU, & Micaparamedic
Thank you for the hide cazza_thats_me

Out and about at Wonthaggi for the New Year Events.
A great day out with Megs_q, Micaparamedic and gwd.aussie
Thanks cazza that's me

Spent some time looking in all the wrong spots before getting our hands on it
TFTC

Found tonight with GJM Melb and SeaChels on our way to the New years event...
The cache was out in the open so GJM replaced it a little out of view!!

Thanks Cazz :)

Found with MS Enchantress and Sea Chels. This was a quick find as it was out in the open. Replaced under a bit of cover. Thanks cazza

We found this cache today at 10:25am as number 5 of 24 on Our Wonthaggi New Year Event Day Tour. A nice easy one and no sport on here today. Thanks from D & HA B-A.

On the way into the rail trail, a stop at the footy ground for a quick find. Cool cache. TFTC

First find of the day. Carn the Magpies!

A beautiful morning for caching with cjfinda and robber44. Found this very attractive container in a fairly exposed position. TFTC

[font=Comic Sans MS][Green]I'm heading eastwards on a day caching in and around Wonthaggi with Square_Pegs after leaving Melbourne early this morning before sunrise. Later on, I got the opportunity to find this cache in good condition and with spot on co-ordinates.

It's been too long since my last visit. Thanks cazza_thats_me for making this an enjoyable day exploring

Find# 3566[/Green][font=Verdana]

We arrived on Sunday morning to a deserted football ground. The coords led us right to the hide here. A different little tin, I haven't seen one of these before. Thanks for the cache.

Found with highrod. A nice hide. TFTC

We came to Wonthaggi for the weekend.
We found your cache Footy Fever - Magpies on 5/07/2014 9:16 am. This is our find #3854 and find #3 today. The cache is in good shape.
Thanks cazza_thats_me for the cache!

Go Pies!!!
Geokids are having fun!
TFTC xxx

A quick find with frmen1. Log dry. TFTC

Tried finding this over a year ago when I was a geo wife's apprentice and couldn't find it. (Poor apprentice). But tried a gain today and had it within a minute! TFTC

After a visit to a customer was heading through to Wonthaggi when I decided I would come in and grab the two caches here. Pulled up at GZ and made the quick find. Memories of playing a controversial game of cricket here for Nerrena a few years back.

Thanks for the cache cazza thats me!!!

Today we headed out in the car to find caches that did not have too much walking entailed. Hubby not used to bike riding wanted a day off.
This is our final day in the beautiful area, we have appreciated all the caches we have found thanks Wonthaggi.
Started looking outside the fence but soon realised we had to enter the grounds.
Thanks cazza that's me

Another good find while out for the day. We drove around from the cache on the other side and after a quick scratch around had the log signed.
TFTC.

We were fortunate today to strike a day that had sunshine and a cooling breeze. This was one we managed to get to while heading out to the rail trail. Thanks to cazza_thats_me.

A big day out on the rail trail today with fellow cachers Liz and Bruce and we managed to find a total of 79 well hidden and thoughtout caches. There was quite a variety of cache containers/hides, often the name of the cache giving a clue as to what to look for. Thanks to cazza_thats_me for hiding this cache.

One of three quick caches found in this town this morning.
The only distraction was a guy exercising his dogs by driving his car around the outside of the oval at high speed.
Cheers

It was my monthly caching expedition with Biggles Bear today. With over 40 caches and only 3 DNF's, it was a successfuly day's caching. Quick find after BB#2 backed into the nearby thorny bush!

Thanks to cazza_thats_me for the cache.

Found 4:31:00 PM, in the company of Muzza, during our March caching extravaganza.

TNLN, thanks cazza_thats_me.

With Capricorn Dancer TFTC nice easy find

One of 70 caches found today during a day / night caching run. I headed down the Bass Hwy through Woolamai and Kilkundra and onto Wonthaggi where I spent most of the day. Once it was time to move on, I grabbed some dinner for the road and headed up north through the rolling hills of Kongwak, through Korrumburra, Strzelecki and Torwood before turning west, making my way to Lang Lang and then onto home.

The weather was perfect for caching and during the day I had just one DNF. I also managed to find a couple of caches needed for my D/T requirements. There were a nice variety of caches with some challenging walks and the trusty old bike came out on a couple of occasions. Plenty of great locations and some great scenery as well. Thanks to all the CO's who placed the caches I found today.

After parking the geomobile I made my way to GZ and soon had the cache. Thanks for the hide.

Found this one after the other one. Thanks cazza_thats_me. FTC.

Found by Mary & David at 0915. Found this one after a short search as well. Most appropriate seeing two magpies on the reserve. Our thanks to cazza_thats_me.

found on our Philip island trip tfth

Another of the footy fever caches done for the weekend.
Thanks cazza that's me for the hide,
Regards The Coffee's.

Found at 4:54 PM GAFF1. On my way back from a big day caching with maccamob and earlier with micaparamedic, I stopped to pick up these 2 and was horrified to see that it was rated a T3.5 after the caches that we had just done along the coast from Kilcunda to Powlett River [xx(] However after stepping down to GZ it was with a huge sigh of relief that it was found that the rating was way over stated
Thanks cazza_thats_me.
Feedback: This should be rated just as a 2.0 or 2.5 Terrain.

With dinner so close, we wanted to get in whatever we could before hand, and that meant this one.

We were getting used to these by now so we had an idea of how to find this. and with many eyes we found it pretty quickly

TFTC

Found after a minute or three after not checking one obvious thing properly and spending time looking at other not so obvious things.

First off the ranks today is this cache and we were hoping that the local cricket was not on! Great a deserted oval which made for an easy find. We loved the themed containers as well.
TFTC cazza.

The 2 events in Wonthaggi coincided nicely with a trip to drop Granny off at Grantville for a summer break and for once there was no time constraints so I could get some caching done.
My first of the FF series today and I hate this team so much I can barely bring myself to log this.

Off for an afternoon of caching with princessdiala and ColeyBaby. After the weather changed to being cold,we were able to locate the cache With ease. TFTC
