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

----------

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that may need some attention. Perhaps it is time for the CO to check on this one please.

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.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) by 16th August,** 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 (by 16th August). 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 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 instructions posted above.

Another visit here after a year and still same outcome, I and another cacher have been looking for about 20 minutes, NOTHING to be found inside a 15 metre circle of GZ, except large rocks, and a little seaweed

We had 3 pairs of eyes to look but we had no luck among the rocks at 12:30. I think we confirm the previous DNFs. Time for some maintenance or maybe archive.

Fantastic location. I followed my GPS and when I was exactly on coordinates, I saw the rock, but nothing under. I looked around for about 20 mins and then gave up. Thanks for leading me here anyway.

DNF

Over from nz travelling from Sydney to Melbourne.
Called in for a couple of caches only managed one couldn't locate this one looked under every we could with no luck

The long weekend was here and it was time for fitzy_1965 and I to head down to Vic in the geo-unit for an epic geomission We had a great time camping, cruising around admiring the beautiful scenery and nabbing LOTS of caches! A great weekend of quality caching all round!

After a quick stroll down it was a quick find here for us [^]

Thanks for the hide, The fenners

14691. Found during a long weekend caching run down through the Bombala / Genoa / Mallacoota / Cann River / Orbost / Lakes Entrance / Bairnsdale regions with specimenX.

A long weekend caching plan was hatched with specimenX to head down to Victoria for 4 days of caching and camping. Had a fantastic time driving around enjoying the scenery, camping at various locations, plus the huge number of caches to be found. Day Two dawned and we had survived the rain. Packed up and hit the road. Next find of the day. This was a bit of an adventure. Tried going the inland route to start with but then headed to the beach and walked around. Took a couple of minutes but then the nicely set up cache was uncovered. Very Nice ! Signed the log, replaced the cache, and headed off to the next one.

Thanks to all the COs for placing their caches !! Fav Point for this one !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Sadly spent about 30 minutes looking for this cache today, but all to no avail, hope it was only my bad eyesight, and not been muggled, as there was many sightseers here as well, all trying to spot whales offshore

It was a wild and stormy afternoon, but that did not deter me. I headed of whilst the geofamily stayed tucked upwarm in the car... Soon enough the well located and discuised cache was in hand and log signed.

Thansk for the fun of the trip out here today!

There were not too many cache finding opportunities on me drive today
But this one cropped up on a detour off the highway

And with so few caches to find,
and so many hours to fill in,
I abandoned the geomobile at East Cape,
and went for a stroll to West Cape

A lovely day for it too !!
The drizzle was keeping the muggle count low [^]

And at the other end of me stroll,
I found the boat ramp.
And the best bit of the geocache tour !!
What a wonderful place to take a stroll through the rocks and sand

And at GZ,
a cache was quickly found [^]
Too easy if you read the cache notes properly

TFTC,
the views,
the getting wet in the drizzle bit [^]

Fave dance time foreshore !!

We searched quite a while here determined to secure a find, but after 15 minutes the heat and the flies got the better of us. Too good for me today.

We were in Cape Conran for a week and this is the first cache we searched for. Met some delightful German ladies (Team Heinzi) while searching. This cache took a little while to find so we were happy when Mr Squalid came up with the goods. Had a wonderful conversation with Team Heinzi afterwards - lovely to meet you two! Thanks for the cache in a great spot The fenners.

Met our first Australian geocaching fellows at this cache! So we joined forces and searched together. Thankfully, squalid made the find as we would have probably given up by now on our own. So thanks for that. It was really nice meeting you! And the landscape here is just beautiful. In: TB.

Geocaching with SwagHo on holidays in Australia from Canada. TFTF. Nice hide

Unfortunately, I was not able to make that find here today. The wind was blowing quite strongly, which constantly brought my hair and the spray from the water into my face, which hampered my search quite a lot... I searched for a while, climbed up and down, but to no avail. That box did not want to be found today.

Today we explored Orbost and surrounds using geocaching as a guide and picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them. This took longer than it should have, but Mr "T" came up with the goods. Great views from here, but very rough seas.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Found cache and 6 seconds later a whale breaches! Nice one.

On our way to Eden, we have just a little bit of time left to retrieve this one. On the beach there's a lot to see, dead coral, seaweeds and a lot of rocks! Normally we wouldn't look around the corner, but with the cache we have to and I'm glad we did!. Thanks and greetings from the Netherlands.

Our current visit to Australia had been in the planning for over a year with the very significant help and advice from friends who live in Melbourne. The original plan was for a 2 month visit, but as things progressed we just couldn't help extending our trip to the full 90 days allowed on our visas - after all it's a big country and so much to see and do, especially with our favourite pastimes being birding, hiking and of course geocaching! Our journey started with our arrival at Perth airport followed by a day cycling around Rottnest Island before travelling on to Adelaide where we met up with our friends. We then continued on to spend some time on Kangaroo Island, before heading to Melbourne via Goolwa, Strathalbyn, Coorong, Mount Gambier, Cape Bridgewater, the Grampians National Park, Port Campbell, Cape Otway and Lorne, cramming in as much as possible on route. The second leg of our journey was a fabulous 9 days in Tasmania. Having then returned to Melbourne we set off on the third leg of our journey, which is to Sydney via Wilson’s Promontory, Lakes Entrance, Mallacoota (where we are heading to at present), Pambula Beach, Thredbo, Canberra and Fitzroy Falls. After a visit to Sydney we will travel on to the Gold Coast, then after spending a few days in the nearby mountainous birding hotspots, followed by an overnight trip to Fraser Island, we will fly from Brisbane to Cairns, visiting yet more good birding sites. We will then drive up to Cape Tribulation before heading back south again to Port Douglas and a day out on the Great Barrier Reef. We then return to Cairns for the flight to Alice Springs, where we will hire a 4x4 camper and set off for a week on the circuit to and from Kings Canyon and Ayers Rock. We then fly to Darwin from where we will spend the last two weeks of our holiday making our way to Broome via Kakadu, Cooinda, Katherine Gorge, Kununarra, Lake Argyle, Emma Gorge, the Bungle Bungle’s and Fitzroy Crossing. Our last two nights in Australia will be spent in Broome before we fly back to Perth, from where we will connect with the flight all the way back home to Zimbabwe via South Africa. We already know we can't wait to return!

A nice quick find at Ground Zero. Thanks so much for the cache and for having bought us to this super spot.

Nice hide in beautiful spot. End of a lovely Easter weekend in Marlo and I think we've just finished all the local caches. Great one to finish on. TFTC

Also left a rather large swap - just fits!

DNF at 12:58 PM.
Lovely rugged area, spent a bit of time looking amongst the rocks and even under a few bushes, but I couldn't find anything - just loose rocks in some very nice holes.

Found it on 30 Jan 2016. Great to have a few newer caches in the area. TFTC

we love this area, TFTF

We have been to the Cape plenty of times before but today we took the time to look for a couple of cahes here. TNLN TFTC

During our Holiday in Australia and Tasmanian Island we Found a lot of caches.This one we found on our way from Lakes Entranceto Eden.Thank you for the Cache and greetings from German geocacher grixlbruepf

What a nice shell beach! Tftc Nico172 ps: Legoman climbed over the rocks

On our way along the east and south coast we cam by this nice little spot and stopped for a short walk and the two caches. First to the one on the east side, were we needed a few minutes to search that far up. A nice area with interesting stone formations, great shells and snails. After that I walked over to the one on the west shore and had a quick find there. A beautiful area with lots of parking, only very little people and a great scenery. What else do you need for a detour from the highway....? TFTC from DerLakaiMS

Kids loved climbing the rocks!

Found on a day at to Conran.

Found on our trip to Mallacoota. After getting the nearby cache, we tried approaching this one from cache - bad move, there was no real direct path. So we went around to the beach and walked around towards GZ, which was much easier. Once we got to GZ, the cache took a few minutes to find - we were looking in the wrong area at first. Very nice hide. Fantastic views and a really awesome location to visit. TNLNSL. TFTC The fenners!

Great fun, fantastic view

This is why we like geocaching. We where told to take the road to marlo and as we where driving down we noticed some geocaches around here. How lovely to be shown these places. Great! And as for the finds. Got 3 out of 3 here! Thanks.
The log of a month ago put us on the right track here.

This cache may be just around the corner, but it was not easy to find. TaurusSix and I spent a lot of time looking before we ventured a little farther and saw something.

try the pig face fruit when you find it

Day eight of a challenge trip to East Gippsland with BettyBoo3747.
Marlo down to Cape Conran, with a few caches and a dead whale to fill in the day.

Just around the corner (and thankfully not downwind) from the remains of a dead whale washed up near the pier.
Evidently there has been a 4 meter white pointer having a feed, and Parks have banned any swimming or boating 14km up and down the coast!
GZ is a lovely location.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 9819. Our last full day in Marlo and so Robmc and I took a drive to Cape Conran and collected a few caches along the way whilst admiring some great coastal and estuary scenery.

We had been hearing about a beached dead whale for the past day and today as an incidental finding we found it whilst approaching this cache. We identified it by smell first and only later realised that the huge rocks were not in fact rocks. No sign of the great white pointer though.

Continued on to find this cache, added our names to the log and were on our way.

Thanks The fenners

This cache took quite a long time to find. Light but persistent rain, darkening skies towards the end of the day, slippery footing, a very erratic GPS and so many potential hiding spots all contributed to the difficulties. After about 40 minutes were gave us and started to haed off. Rather than walk around the sand we decided to head up and we noticed something interesting. Investigation revealed a well hidden cache. The ironic aspect was that our GPS was on its best behaviour at that instant and it indicated that we were 2m from GZ!!! Rather than getting a blue growny face, we were very happy to get a yellow smiley. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks The fenners for the cache.

Took the lovely walk to both the trads around here enjoying the lovely view.
Thanks for showing us this great spot thefenner

Such a beautiful spot tonight with seals frolicking offshore. Bit of groveling to find it! Tnln Tftc

I had been meaning to do this one for a long time. I knew where I was and I knew where it was and that it would probably going get a favourite, which it has. such a beautiful area. I have never seen it so peaceful here. Ocean was flat. Nobody around. What a spot to come to. Loved it. But sadly there is a ghost net of a type I have never seen before in the sand at water level next to the cache. I tried to remove and failed but will try and organise other people too. If anybody else can do something it would be great. A picture attached showing the beauty of the spot. Tftc tnln

Cool cache! What a view!!

Good spot. Kids were excited to see an echidna too!

Great are well worth the detour.

Sorry for the late log I have fallen a bit behind in logging.

TFTC The fenners

Found with O319. TFTC! on our way to Marlo for the night

Walked around the corner and found it.

i think it may have been stolen or washed away.

Found with comback and gwd.aussie on a great day out in Orbost & Marlo area
A good walk around the corner
Thanks The fenners

A day out with sqau and gwd.aussie in the Marlo and Cape Conran areas on a nice sunny day TFTC

Great cache hide, It took a while to find.
I can understand if other cache can't find it.

Out caching with comback and saqu
Thank you for the hide The fenners

Thanks for bringing us to such a beautiful area. Would have never come here if it weren't for the cache. Saw a stingray at the boat ramp. Kids went mad for shells and also had fun looking in the rock pools. As the the cache, we climbed, we crawled but no avail. Thanks for bringing us to the area though!

South Coast January 2015. I spent a few sunny days exploring from Eden to Orbost and beyond. A very interesting part of the country. The car park for the boat ramp was packed, but I managed to snag a park as someone left and headed around the corner for a walk. A great area. Thanks.

Good hide. Had to enlist the non geo wife who found it. TFTC

A gorgeous day for looking, and we think we worked out where it should've been but no luck today. Thanks for bringing us here anyway.

Beautiful spot. Very sentimental for my family. Tftc

My son loves this one!! TFTC

A challenging walk for Sam's newly replaced knees but with some help from Ms Gamgee we got to gz. Once there it took a while to find the cleverly hidden cache. Great views and a fav from us. TFTC

Found!

Some friends recommended us this area to explore. So we did. On the beach we turned our gps on and decided to try this one. It took a little because we didn't look at the exakt spot. When we did it was easy. Thanks for hidding. Greetings from Germany. Loves JaKa

We are staying at the Orbost caravan park and we headed off to find a few caches. This was one we targetted and found. Fav point alloc for the wonderful scenery. Thanks to The fenners.

TFTC Fenners great spot also my 50th cache cheers

***FTF*** I figure that waiting 6 days was long enough to let others have a go at a FTF - I just couldn't wait any longer. I was surprised to find just a few people at the West boat ramp. The East beach was chock a block with people. Parked as close to GZ as possible with just a 200m scramble over the rocks, fortunately the tide was out. The coordinates were spot on and the well hidden container revealed itself - eventually. Many thanks The fenners for bringing us back to this beautiful area of the Gippsland coast. A fav from us.

If you can click on the "Edit Attributes" link to the right of the page and add some attributes some time in the near future it would be appreciated.

Thanks,
