Thanks to everyone who played the game. Alas, due to work & travel for work, I can't get there to replace it. Cheers

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUESTED PLEASE** ###

----------

G'day there tassieexpat,

It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is some sort of issue. The cache has been [temporarily disabled](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235), so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location, until the issues/s can be addressed.

**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days,** so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.

#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache to check, repair, replace or do whatever else is needed, Post an [Owner Maintenance log](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating what you have done and that the cache is back as it should be. Then [ENABLE your cache](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) and sit back and wait for the logs of thanks and delight to roll in.

- **Place A Write Note Log::-** Reviewers are not mind readers (unfortunately) , so without a note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, you have been in hospital, the area has been flooded, the cache is in a remote/difficult to access location, or some other reason that has prevented attending to the cache, they can't tell what is going on.
All you need do is to [post a Write Note log](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=234) to the page (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.** When a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine, for a little bit longer.
**If you have a long term unavailability (where you don't have an actual date), please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks, so as to keep everyone up to speed.**

- **Adopt/Archive:-** If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another geocacher by asking them to [Adopt your cache](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54). [^] Alternatively, you need to [Archive the cache](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 the above. Well, when the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned. [xx(] It would be far better if you decide, so please do something before then.

Please don't send an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Bunjil

No sign of any cache here, looked in all the possible hiding spots to no avail.

We know there needs to be 3 DNF’s before a needs maintenance but the found log was really a DNF if you read it….there only find.

We found it! Me and my family went looking and couldn't find it at first then I read the tittle and then went back and found it unfortunately we couldn't find the actually thing but it was a good laugh!

Didn’t understand didn’t have time to look because of muggles everywhere

Found the cache, but there was no log. Needs replacing.
TFTC. TALLY HO!!!

??

Found

Log is quite damp.

Haha found 16/10/22 by team salty. Great hiding took a little while to find it and didn’t want to write on paper as water has made very fragile. Great work!

Had a good look. Stealth req due to muggles on rail trail. Definitely a stinky situation with the dead kangaroo nearby. Must be really well hidden.

GPS bouncing a bit searched what I thought would be logical spots but came up empty handed....on walking away I thought I figured out what I should have been looking for but upon return I had a muggle walkers behind me so couldn't really stop to re search for too long.

no clue

Found by Peter and Marian at 1452hrs with muggles Graeme and Lyn on a bike ride from Leongatha, TNLN TFTC.

Found

After a few days on Phillip Island, I’m heading towards Leongatha and gathering some caches along the way. Definitely a cache that would appeal to young boys TFTC Wonthaggi Scouts

Aptly named

TFTC

Stinky indeed.
Surprised this log managed to stay dry
TFTC and the humour!

Nearly gave up! Now, off to wash my hands
Couldn't sign the log as it is really, really soggy, but I have a photo of the cache itself if you'd like me to send it.

Love it was really fun to find

If you’re cold and you know it!

Found but not what I was expecting. Didn't jatch previous activity so left quite confused.. and codl after standing around for so long.

Cornered it finally. Appeal to kids humour.

#4501 We found the cache camo, but there was no nano within. We combed the area around gz for 5 minutes trying to locate the nano but no cigar. We searched our geocar for a replacement but could only find a nano logsheet, so we left that but the CO will need to fix this one up. TFTC Wonthaggi Scout.

Nano component missing. Left a new logsheet in the camo cover.

TFTC! Quick park and grab with Rodneys1 on a morning out caching.

Qick find which was good as the rain is starting. TFTC

Today was the return trip from Fish Creek back home.
Got out the deadly treadly and rode some of the GSRT with a few caches on the way.

Not what I expected for this cache, but very apt.
Thanks, Robmc.

Easy

Found it

Found it TFTC

Clever cache tftc

This was a scary cache to find in more ways than one. There's an old fence post that has a hollow and when we looked down in it gaping mouths jumped up at us giving us the fright of our life.

Turned out to be a clutch of baby chicks who thought we had come to feed them!

Soon recovered from that only to find another scary discovery ... The cache!

With the relaxed Covid restrictions in regional Victoria, we are enjoying being out and about in Gippsland. We have been frustrated with our finds this year, we had planned to travel and explore central NSW and Queensland using the geo map as our tour guide, but Covid messed that up.
Once again we have teamed up with Rebel Acts (and are signing small caches as RASP)and today we are down South Gippsland way on the look out for as many caches as we can find. At the moment it is a mild overcast day which makes for very comfortable caching.
We found the very obvious stinky item, and we have replaced the cache and a new log with permission from the CO. Hopefully this one will remain dry.
TFTC TNLN

The weather was looking good , with restrictions lifted in regional Vic I once again teamed up with SKI Pair armed with My mask and Sanitizer, We had a great day exploring the South Gippsland region. There were quite a few challenging and novel hides in the area. this is one of the caches we found today.

Thanks tassieexpat for the cache.

This was very difficult and description useless. Didn't get "stinky". Think cache is gone.

Heading back from Wilson’s Prom a few weeks ago, I passed over the old rail trail and wondered where it went. After a little bit of research, I decided today I wanted to give a bit of it a go. We packed the car along with Bubs and the dogs and set off on the trail Leongatha-Meeniyan.

Amazing walk, well into the night with lots of good caches along the way.

The log has disappeared in this one and lots of rubbish in the area.TFTC

TFTC

Not sure what I was looking for

Nice hiding. I didn't sign the log. Felt a little damp. I was worried it would tear. TFTC. Definitely bringing my Scout children back to find this one

Love this one! I got RuddFamily to collect, wasn’t game enough.

One of the funnier ones iv found with the family gave us a good laugh

Don't think it's here anymore

Yeah know I know what you mean. Creative
TFTC
(So many fly’s though )

Found at 1:23 PM GAFF1.
Oh! So you mean that sort of "stinky"?
Thanks tassieexpat

It took a while but we found it! Very clever and so sneaky.

Made us smile.

Quite easy and fun

Ewwwww

Ewwww yay!

On our way to Koonwarra we stopped off here to look for this cache. Looked around for a bit and scratched myself on the barb wire before looking around and having a think about things. Pretty soon after that your cache was discovered but of course taking and replacing the log took a lot longer.
Thanks for the cache Wonthaggi Scouts.

All ready step in a GIANT horse poo so let dad pick this one up plus its our 50th cache so preaty happy we've loved all the caches so a huge thanks to all the people who hid our finds

Wow this one is certainly special! Log rather difficult to replace. Very clever and fun cache

Find 2051
Out cycling the trail. Once GPS settled it took me to a location. Upon checking it out we were fronted with a ---- . Who was going to grab it. Well I did and the cache was discovered. Log signed and all back safe again.
A favourite point added for the stink.

Catching up with some very late logs

We had set aside a few days to explore Gippsland with alansee endeavoring to aid him reaching 30,000 finds before the Queanbeyan mega event at Easter.

We visited rail trails, parks, mountains seeing beautiful scenery along the way as well as enjoying some lovely walks as well as some easy drive by's. The weather was mostly kind to us enabling us to search for the caches in comfort.

It's amazing how young adolscents get so much pleasure out of this type of humour and it also bought a smile to our faces after we located the cache.

Thanks Wonthaggi scouts for the cache, very aptly named.

Found with Team Crackers today. An easy find once a cyclist went past.

Camped at Dumbalk after returning from Tasmania. Looking for a few caches in the area today. Great hide deserves a favourite point. Twelfth for the day. TFTC

Accompanied with pwala outing for caching today.
The weather was very warm.
Enjoyed ourselves
Found it
Thanks Wonthaggi Scouts for the cache

Found it with Crank1, at first I was reluctant to touch the cache! TFTC nice bike trail.

Found it a while ago. Must have forgotten log. Glad not too stinky.

Nice! TFTC

Stinky indeed! The geokids have been waiting to find a hide like this The log was tricky to retrieve (no pun intended). Thanks for this fun cache

Good find

Eew! Tftc

Even though we had a fair idea what we’d be looking for here, I’ve gotta admit I was still hesitant to actually touch it, haha. Good one. SL TFTC

Travelled down for the launch of Koonwarra parkrun. A free weekly timed 5km walk and run every Saturday morning at 8am. A lovely morning filled with fabulous people. Tftc, I have walked/run part of this trail before and would love to do the whole lot by bike if I had one. Thankyou. Logbook wet.

Quick find in a nice location. Tftc!

Found by geomum, clever hide, TFTC

Having read the cache title, I wasn't sure what would be at GZ, or what the container might be. It turned out to be an amusing hide, a nicely hidden cache that was suited to the spot. The location was pleasant with the afternoon sun to the west.
Thanks to Wonthaggi Scouts and tassieexpat for the cache.

Found by Mary & David at 1640. Our last for the day. Our cache maintenance achieved, 14 more finds and one DNF. Now it's 2 hours to home. Our thanks to tassieexpat.

A easy find but there is a European Wasp nest nearby
thanks for the cache

Found with taurus1955 and BentleyTB. I went off on another tangent for this one, so it was taurus1955 who actually found the log. TFTC

Out exploring the local area with misschief18 and Bentley TB in very drizzly weather but caching is always on the agenda. Quickly had the cache container in hand and the log signed
