Canadian Creek Trail Rest Canadian, Victoria, Australia
By Teamswizzle on 17-Feb-14. Waypoint GC4YPJ9

I cannot see any information that suggests to me that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement - one or more of the following applies:

- Cache Owner unable to maintain cache
- No response from the cache owner.
- No cache to find or log to sign.
- It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.
- Cache has been abandoned by cache owner/cache in disrepair

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to also prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

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 in 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.

[u]MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?[/u]
[navy] I notice from recent log entries that this cache would seem to be in need of owner intervention as there are one or more comments in regard to the state of the cache log. 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.

A basic tenet of geocaching is that the cache log needs to be signed to record a find, see here; http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#logging . At the moment this would seem to be extremely difficult if not impossible to meet that requirement in regard to this cache.

Your prompt attention to any log that indicates things could be amiss will be welcomed by all seekers and your assistance in this aspect of geocaching is greatly appreciated, see here http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance
The rule is; if you can't fix it straight away then Disable it till you can and here's how; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235

Check out this Blog: http://www.geocaching.com/blog/2015/03/you-hid-your-first-geocache-now-what/

Please respond to this situation by 10th December 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.

And don't forget, once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log see here; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404 and an "Enable Listing" log see here; https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 to get your cache up and running again..[/navy]

Passing by and stopped for this one. Rested while I signed the extremely full log. It will need to be replaced. Great views here.

Good little find

It was s nice night for a stroll ... we found this little one just on dark, the log book was too hard to get out, so we took a photo.. . Nice spot at dark.

Found it

What a pretty area. Watched a huge dog run in and out of the lake don't they feel the cold. Nice part of town thanks for bringing me here and the cache

The final day to log cache finds to qualify for The Geocaching Road Trip ’15 souvenir. It is also the second day of spring in Australia – well somehow Ballarat missed the change as it is very wintery today. After a chilly bike ride in Mt Helen and a call at the seat of higher Learning in Ballarat, we made a quick detour for this little guy, while on our way to the Road Trip Finale Dinner Event.
Satellites today had our GZ 5m E of the cache location.

Our thanks to Teamswizzle for bringing us here.

A new log would really be appreciated by future seekers please, as there is no room left for seekers to comply with the GS requirement to sign the log in order to claim the find!

The main focus of the day was to attend Black Hill CITO and Afternoon Tea @ Zegames and grab a few caches in between. As we were heading home we couldn't resist grabbing a few on the way. Trying to not draw attention I had a quick look but missed it, but once the muggles had moved on it was a quick find.
Thanks for the Cache Teamwizzle

On our way home in the company of Alchey and Darth Briji after a big day we pulled up to give this one a go.
There were some muggles feeding the ducks nearby so we had to use extreme stealth.
After a short search we soon found the goods.
Thanks Teamswizzle for the cache.

Up from Geelong with some of the Geelong Crew to convert a few caches to smileys between the CITO and next event.
Was a case of cache blindness for a few moments but thankfully found
Thanks for the cache.
Log signed and replaced as found. TFTC & Smiley face

Our first find, easy one for the kids.

One person says they can see it from where they were sitting they got good eyes to see a nano from seat or has it gone

Day 2 at Smythesdale we headed out to find some of the local caches in town. We started with the Symbol Series Plus a few bonus caches.
This was a nice series to walk, the weather being a little kind meaning it wasn't raining but very cold.
Thanks for placing this cache Teamswizzle

Too easy: thanks for bringing us to lovely location. Tftc

Nice easy one, saw it from where I was sitting. TFTC!

Geokid 1 found this. We admired the scenery and had a chat to the ducks, all the while freezing our bottoms off.

My intention today was to visit Ballarat again and grab as many mystery caches as possible to complete my month of mystery caches.
Grabbed a coffee as I always do near the Fire Station in Buninyong and thought I would have a look for a few of these Symbol Caches while in the area.
I started out thinking of looking for just a few but ended up doing all except the final.
Thanks for the series,one green square in amongst all smilies, but I will return to fix that I hope.
I had a DNF here a couple of months ago but was a different story today with it just sitting there looking at me. The drizzle was still with me but it was not to bad.
Thanks Teamswizzle for checking this guy out and enabled me to convert it into a smiley.
Sorry about the generic logs but with finding close to forty today I have to save time.

Nice little hide

I was in Ballarat to visit my muggle parents for lunch and I always like to log a cache or two whilst I'm here. Not being a local, I suggested to Dad that we go somewhere (park or similar) and see if there was a cache nearby. After re-visiting another cache at Eureka Stockade Dad thought he'd drive us to a nice picnic area in this park. I broke out the GPS'r and saw this cache within 200m so off we went.

It took a lot longer to find this one than it should have to be honest. Once the GPS settled and directed me to the GZ, I thought I knew where it would be. I checked the difficulty and terrain ratings and convinced myself I was in the right spot. After spending 15mins, checking, scratching, telling muggle Dad that it's probably going to be a fake bolt or something similar and walking around amoungst the droppings of the local Birdlife, I came to the concllusion I was wrong. [B)]

I was about to concede a DNF when I thought I'd check another structure nearby and BINGO ! I guess my Geo-senses must have been a bit "off" today ! (I also wish I'd brought my log roller with me)

TNLNSL Cache is in good condition TFTC Teamswizzle

(Rated 2.5 stars with [url=http://www.gcvote.com]GCVote[/url])

Found it with some new geocachers TFTF

Found it. I had no idea what a nano was till I found it.

Nice area for the cache. Thanks

This is a nice little spot. I quickly located the cache and signed the log in the car as there was the odd bike rider or jogger going past. I went out to the lookout and was surprised to see some of the floorboards had been broken leaving big gaps. Quite a safety risk I thought. It looked like lowlife vandals had been at it. Hopefully will be fixed soon. TFTC Teamswizzle and for bringing me to this spot.

Cache has been replaced and ready for action!

Went down and checked today. Cache had just been moved. Put it back in it's spot and is ready to be found!

No luck here today

Up in Ballarat two weeks running I could not find any thing that looked like a cache so I will have return another day.

Found along with leeroyb. Tiny as cache. Didnt have a pen to log. TFTC

Quick find. Found while walking the dogs with girl95.
Tftc

Beautiful area quickly found

Out as a team today as it is my birthday and hope to secure our 4,000th cache. Nice job Poppet93 its still there and protected by the plastic bag. Signed it off but how long will it last before some one comes along to clean up Australia. Nice location.
Thanks for the cache Teamswizzle

What a lovely area. Found this one nice and quickly. TFTC.

This cache was on the ground in GZ with the bottom half missing. I placed it back on the chair and protected it with a plastic bag.

This cache will need a new container.

Found it with greystain27. TFTC. Number 11 for the day. Nice spot to chill.

Found with Elu-Fox. Find number 11 for the day. TFTC

Must be too small for my eyes. Haha. I tried. But I will try again some other time.

On a caching day in Ballarat with Lazyade. There were a few muggles around - the occasional kid riding their bike home from school, or a family feeding the ducks from the platform. The three of us hung around for a little bit, enjoying the pleasant area, and quietly made the find while doing so. Thanks for bringing us here Teamswizzle.

Great little spot. Tftc

TFTC hardest part was putting the log back into the cache

Smallest one that i have found to date

Mr Tardis and Mr Scoobster were out this way for a day's caching. Fortunately I found the cache in the first place I looked - don't you just love it when that happens?

A nice park with lots of birds enjoying the lake.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Teamswizzle.

Found on our family trip to Ballarat with Tardis Trio.

A great family adventure picking up some wonderful caches
Thank Teamswizzle for the find.

Just enough time for a quick look today and made the find of this well hidden nano.

TFTC

Ity bity cache

Log nearly full

Nice little find!

Another find. Nice little fire station

Tftc

DNF - will try another day. Great spot

Another one within riding distance done today. The ducks gave us quite the show

There were plenty of ducks out on the lake today. After taking some snaps from the platform I headed on and quickly located this little fellow. A handy spot to take a quick break too!
Thanks to Teamswizzle for placing this cache.

Headed out for a morning explore and clean up trip.
The rain kicked in and we got rather wet but we still had fun!
Nice quick one. Lovely spot down here. Someone had left half a beer for us too!

Found with Mum, Dad and Maeve.
It was a bit wet but we had lots of fun.
Thanks for hiding this cache for us to find.

Found with Mum, Dad and Eddie.
I got to go out in the rain for the first time ever!
Lucky I have a rain cover for the sling.
Thanks for the caches.

Suscoe's 13th find of 24 for today as we wandered the streets of Ballarat in the company of the sister.
It was a delightful day with pleasant sunshine but a steady breeze that got a bit keen at times.

A nice spot for a wander here and a nice cache to find.
Thanks to Teamswizzle for placing this cache.

Find today after work
Thanks

Found this one a while ago ... Forgot to log it online

A great little cache in a really nice area, it was a nice day with lots of muggles so it was a bit of a waiting game for a while. TFTH

Found @15:36
Had an unexpected 3 day weekend, so decided to do some caching with Geo Puppy.
After a very late lunch we went for an enjoyable walk around this area.
Quick easy find on a cold, but unlike yesterday, snow free day.
SL Thanks for the cache and bringing us to this area Teamswizzle.

Took us longer than it should have but we cornered the little fellow and signed the log.TFTC

A quick visit to Ballarat today to do a bit of shopping and with a couple of hours to spare, I thought I would find a few caches as well.

Had a short rest here whilst I signed the rather damp log. A pretty spot and a nice bridge over the other side of the lake.

Thanks for the cache Teamswizzle

A tricky hide really. Looked in wrong place for a while then methodically searched and found. Thanks

Found by Mary & David at 1255. Delighted not to have a long walk in this wintry weather. What a lovely area. We wish our suburb had underground power and water features. Found the cache after a brief search. Our thanks to Teamswizzle.

Quick find today. Fortunately there weren't any muggles about. Unfortunately they weren't about because it was so cold. This would be a lovely spot to watch to birdlife and go on a nice stroll. TFTC.

I stopped here a couple of weeks ago but was troubled by muggles and couldn't have a good look. No such trouble today. Took me a while to spot it. Not sure why as it was exactly what I was expecting.

Thanks for bringing me here.

Found it

Caching today with Glanville Girls, found this one in the rain Thanks Teamswizzle for the hide.

Our first find for the day. We had been here on a previous occasion with no joy as the prize had been muggled. Back today to make the find. It is exactly where we thought it should have been on our first attempt albeit in a different container. Thanks for the hide Teamswizzle.

Nice quick find with Shamus1 to make my weekend tally of caches a round 80, after the find we listened to some of Blood on the Southern Cross before heading on our way

TFTC

found along side fellow Cacher St73e

What a busy place this is. Very hard to locate a cache when there are lots of muggle walkers around. Luckily I had the dog today, so she was a good decoy. Found the cache safe and sound. Thank you

Find # 2760
3:39 pm Tue 6 May 2014
Today we visited my wife's brother in Ballarat, and I managed to find three caches during the day.
In the morning I had found two caches.
After returning to my brother in law's house in Canadian, we had lunch and a bit of a chat.
Then I popped out for another cache or two.
After a nearby DNF I had no trouble finding this one, which was only 300m from my brother in law's place but with no direct route available..
A very pleasant location with lots of ducks and a little cormorant sunning its wings on the rail of the nearby lookout until I got too close.

Thanks for placing this cache Teamswizzle

Then aka for the cache. Cool cache. Found pretty easily with a torch in the dark.

Good to see this one up and running again. A nice quick find tonight. Caching with Tomstache. Thanks for replacing the cache.

A really strange thing happened at this cache. I had been looking for a good 10 minutes when, somehow, without me being able to see them, someone snuck up and put the cache right where I had looked at least three times. It is the only explanation that makes any sense at all! LOL.

In the meantime I also found a Munzee which had come off the item and blown away, and I put it back where it will hopefully survive for a short while.

Had a much closer look second time around! Thanks for the find!

Had a good look but no luck

Just checked cache and it's still there.

Finally put this one out again. Cache container has been changed to a nano

Went to check if cache is still in place but unfortunately it has gone missing. Will replace ASAP

Caching this afternoon with Tomstache, Glanville Girls and Motndarg, we were unable to find this cache.

Could not find today.

Looked in the obvious and not so obvious places but couldn't find today.

No go.

.

Knuckles first find , woo hoo

Tftc. Nice quick find. Love the magnets!!!

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Nice and easy find. Concern that the cache will not hold long with its current method. CO ought to check and reinforce with better geo-attractors!

We found your cache Canadian Creek Trail Rest on 19/02/2014 8:28 pm, hoping for a FTF, and met lionjrb at GZ with his hands on the cache. Missed it by that much!
This is our find #3041 and find #1 today.
Thanks Teamswizzle for the find!
cheers highrod- from Ballarat.

FTF!!!
As I saw this one come and knew that I wound have to be quick. I found the cache with the geohound nice and quickly and as I was signing the log book Highrod rocked up. This is a nice place that was in need of a cache. TFTC.
