Unfortunately, I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore as advised previously, the cache is being de-listed (Archived) to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

The [**Geocache Maintenance guideline**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains what needs to happen with a Disable cache.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article [**here**](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

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

---------

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

----------

I notice from one or more log entries that this cache would seem to be in need of some help - **there appears to be a need for owner intervention.**

The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) I cannot see any log that indicates a recent visit by the CO to this cache.

As the CO, if you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235)

The cache is being temporarily disabling 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.

**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:

- Repair and/or Replace your cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) 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 don't plan on fixing it up then please [**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.

- 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.

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) the cache 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.

Parked nearby and walked to GZ. Had a look in a few obvious spots. No hint.
Read logs and found that I was looking for a logbook only - not an actual container.
Spent a few more minutes looking around but didn't want to spend too much time here.
Eventually found the sad specimen. Waterproof (at least) log in an open bag full of water.

Definitely needs some maintenance here.

Since moving from New Zealand in 2016 I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches.
So far I’ve knocked off 4 of the states. VIC, SA, NSW and A.C.T all multiple times.
No two areas are the same here and almost every place I go to is stunning. The beauty of caching is that it takes you to so many places you would never usually find.
Thank you to all the cachers out there for hiding and maintaining their caches. Especially to those who put so much effort into creating unique and fun hides.
I enjoy finding well maintained caches in fun and unique cache containers. No one likes finding a mint tin – but a find is a find after all.
Well she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin' that there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
Yeah, an d if she had to die
Tryin' she had one little promise
She was gonna keep
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
It was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
She could the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves crashin' in the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful
Something that's so close
And still so far out of reach
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

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

Container is missing - just logsheet in open plastic bag.......

Had to bypass this one first go, as a huge milk truck was attempting to back into this driveway.
Second visit, and it was all clear. Found the 'write in rain' log, in an open plastic bag. Log was very wet but still able to write on it, hence why I love these logs. No sign of any actual container however.
Thanks for the cache Jared 75182

Find 1555
The rain has stopped as we arrive to find this one. The GPS had us searching in the wrong spot. After a while we expanded the search area and finally we found 2 log sheets with no sign of log holder.
The damp log sheet was signed and placed back where found.
Nice path way.

The log sheets are loose and no sign of any container. The log sheets quite damp after todays rain. Might need to pay a visit.
Thanks

In the area so decided to chase a few caches.
Thanks jared75182

Daughter was straight onto it, awesome find

Last cache for the day. Kids ready to go home. TFTC. Will be out again in the next few days to get our 200th hide

TFTC found our 100 with themaz

Another one close to home!!

In the area today with beckNmonts doing some sight seeing as well as grabbing some quick caches, as we jumped in and out of the car , trying to keep as dry as possible on this wet day. We started on a fishing expedition initially , with a few red herrings but eventually the hide was spotted and beckNmonts replaced your full log.
Thanks Jared75182 for the cache.

This turns out to be a popular day for this cache as I was out and about with The Tritons, seemingly following another couple of caching teams at this point. We found this one eventually, after following up on some red herrings. There it was, where it should have been. We added a new log. TFTC Jared75182

Out with The Swaggies. Find 1564 at 15 September 2017 11:35 am. Log book full.

Out with Yorsys, find 5580 at 11:46 am. Log book full.
Thanks

Looking around for this one until we realised we'd already walked straight past it. SL took ant toy and left jetski. Beautiful place. TFTC

Miss 4 thinks it was a good hiding spot. She fell over, looked around and then discovered it. I was looking at a different spot after searching through this area already. Tftc. 2nd attempt, this time miss 4 had the good luck. Its usually mr 6.

Quick drive by. Easy find in a nice spot. Tftc. Log book is full but I manged to find 1 blank line among it.

12/02/2017 6:22:00 PM - Today I teamed up with my caching friend Square_pegs and headed out this way for some exploring and to find this cache on the way home. A good find.

Thanks Jared75182 Cache is good condition.

This is a nice little track, and today we went for a stroll along and were pleased to find the hide. The log was quite full but we found a space to add our names - it is nice and dry and in good condition. Thanks to Jared75182 for the cache.

Well, as per previous logs, I walked right past it!
One of my favourite types of cache - thanks for the cache Jared75182

Geocaching has taken me on many adventures over the years all over Australia and overseas. It has also introduced me to a brilliant and diverse group of people, many of whom are now close friends.
Today I was lucky enough to be out and about with some of those friends and we targeted this cache.
Sorry for the late log, but thanks for adding to the adventure!

Thanks Jared75182 for placing this cache.

Heading home from a night at near by Jindivick. This is such a beautiful part of the world we even visited a few of the open gardens.Being a weekend for a souvenir i just had to stop and get a cache today so this was it. Took me a little while but an easy find if you dont walk straight past it. No need to head off the track too far as i did especially on a warm day whete snakes could be about in this long grass. Tftf

Logbook full.

Caching day with Ozuk
Today It's so beautiful weather
Found it
Thanks Jared75182

Was great finding with crank1. Thanks for the cache and greetings from Glenhaven N.S.W

A quick find after a short walk in which the Moose went old school and decided not to use a GPS. Thanks for the hide and the exercise and showing us more of the beautiful creation around here.

Nice quick one a little walk from the car and a beautiful spot thanks for the cache!

A pleasant short walk. Definitely attracked the attention of the canine variety whilst here. They let everyone know they weren't given any attention. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

A nice easy park and grab cache at the start of our journey into the hills.

A nice spot to park close by.

Thanks for the placement Jared75182.

Good spot for a cache... Tftc

Missed it the first time we looked. The GPS was bouncing around a fair bit so we ended up looking in lots of areas with no joy. Decided to give it one more look and there it was, practically staring us right in the face. Geodaughter must have been tired because she normally wouldn't have missed this one.

Thanks for bringing us here, yet another 'hidden' walking trail that I bet people drive past all the time and never see

Good spot. Easy parking, short walk easy find. TFTC

Nice and easy fo geokid, tftc

After going around in circles at GZ was about to give in and spotted the hide on my way out, closer to the track that the geo trails suggest.

Found on an Australia Day out caching. Thanks for the cache.

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there Jared75182. We found your cache "Laba Track" at 12:01:00 PM today. This cache makes our find count 12574.
[Blue]
We are staying with relatives so our cache run today started at a random cache that was close to our camp site. We then navigated to the one the GPS said was next closest for a while - before moving on and complete the "Slog" series that we started the other day.

We ended up logging 28 and DNF'd 4.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 5m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: A Smiley Badge if the cache was large enough.

Thanks for the hunt,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

Gps had me walking in circles through the bush at first but the cache was soon discovered and log signed. With Lilmissgeo. TFTC!

Another one to add to the list lovely walk bit windy and starting to cloud over now with geodude#74 tftc

Nice and easy pretty area,

Tftc.

06/12/2015 - 2.30pm - No. 543 - 5th for the day - with dgfb33. It was beginning to warm up was wary about venturing too far into slithery non-friend territory. Finding device gave direction to a slightly different location that where the cache was found. It was sure it had the right location too. Dgfb33 spied the container in it's hide. Thanks for bringing us here, I wouldn't have know there was a walking track & would have thought this was the beginning of someone's driveway. Thanks for the cache.

Nice hide very tricky to see at first but very nice one to find

Travelling around Australia in our Caravan with our cat.

Staying in Neerim today we headed out to find some local caches. The weather was threatening but turned out to be only a few odd heavy showers. TFTC and letting us use Geocaching to tour the local area. Looking forward to meeting other geocachers at the next Australian Geocaching Mega event

In the area today and decided to find a cache or two.

I made a quick find and signed the log.

'Scrat' visited your cache whilst on his Great Aussie adventure.

Took the TB 'Cape Cod Compass' to move along.

TFTC Jared75182

Catching up with late logs
Having to go to Neerim South to do some cache maintenance we thought that we would make a bit of a day of it and pick up a few of the local caches as well.
We arrived at gz on this one for a nice easy find as the cache container was sitting out in the open so after adding our names to the log we rehid it a little better before leaving
Thanks Jared 75182 for showing us another part of this walking track.

A great walking track and a quick find
Left a TB
Thanks Jared75182

Today started a little later then the usual cache runs that SedgwickDave and I go on. We were meeting some others at Underworld II at 1PM, so no real urgency. It was a perfect sunny day, Ideal to pick up some caches along the way.

Here is where we first bumped into Jamin Appleford heading away from the cache. Said a quick Hi, see you at the next one. This one led us away a bit, but eventually we worked it out and cache was soon in hand.

Thanks to Jared75182 for placing this cache. TNLN

Found @11:40 #3848
Out on a run with Ahomburg on the way to attempt a 5/5 cache nearby and this cache was one of several picked up on the drive today.
Nice spot and a nice quick find too. Took a little searching but soon had it. On approach we bumped into Jamin Appleford who was heading to the next cache further down the road.
TFTC Jared75182

Heading into the wild for some adventures today and had a bit of time to kill early on so I decided to stop and pick off a few easy smileys along the way.

Coords were pretty spot on but it took a little while to locate exactly where the hide was. Walked over it but spotted on the way back.
TFTC

I found this cache today at 9:40am as number 3 of 45 on our Warragul Wander in company of Alansee. Only a few seconds at GZ before spotting the geocaching tell. Thanks from D B-A.

Found with Rabbitto today. The rain/drizzle was holding off for now and after a short stroll we found this one easily enough.

20/09/2014 Visited at 15:00
Find 08 of 10 for the day and #1740 in total.

I headed down to the Latrobe Valley to conduct some business this morning and while I was down here, decided to grab a few caches.
I looked at where my GPSr was pointing, put it in my pocket and used cacher sense. It took all of 30 seconds to find this one.
SL TFTC

The mushrooms and toadstools are everywhere today and even along the track there were tiny mushrooms to avoid stepping on. Don't want to make any fairies homeless. Nice walk TFTC

Found it.
This one had us walking in circles as the GPs decided on where
we should search, 2 metres this way, 6 metres that way, left side
of the track then right side and then finally we had it. SL. TFTC.

Quite a hard one with so much overgrowth, but a lovely sunny walk.

Out today for a little caching fun with Dunko, really enjoyed he caching activities along with the challenges. when presented. Thank you to Jared75182 for the cache TNLNSL

Out and about today for a little caching run with my caching buddy Slink1 We went this way and that way and did a few this afternoon. The rain held off and we had a good day out. TNLNSL

Today was my day out caching with Biggles Bear. We picked a number of caches in the area in a nice loop, and did our best to find them. Found after a bit of a search. Thanks to Jared75182 for the cache.

Found 10:00:00 AM, in the company of Muzza, during our December caching day out.

TNLN, thanks Jared75182.

Good area to check out.

Found with Trailrunning on another Monday caching adventure, It was a humid night of caching, looking for Micros in the bush with coordinates out. We found a mixed bag of caches tonight, from tricky hides, The Numbers were not many as we seem to have a long distances to travel to find a few these days. Thanks Jared75182 for the cache.

Rebel Acts and I headed to the south-west in search of plastic and came up with a reasonable haul. The night was hot and humid with made it quite uncomfortable especially when we sought micros in the bush with poor co-ordinates. I think the worst for the night was 20 metres off, but one CO was consistently out, which indicates that they aren't averaging when placing their caches. It became frustrating at times. That's the game I suppose. The GPS kept moving us further into the bush. I suspect by all the trampling it has done so for others as well. Not too far from teh track and the cache was found. Thanks for the cache.

Short walk from the car along this historic area. Thanks for bringing us here Jared75182

A quick find on the way home of a day of caching, took skateboard and left lizards. TFTC
