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.

Geohubby had a seminar in town this afternoon and was catching the train from Melbourne after spending the morning at work. This of course would have meant a rather long walk home, so I decided to be magnanimous and offer him a lift home...to Geelong...which of course meant that I had the perfect excuse to spend the afternoon caching before he finished Big Grin.
The weather wasn't exactly what I'd ordered, but it wasn't as wet as last time and the forecast snow hadn't arrived as yet Surprised so after a bracing coffee, I headed out.
Find number six. A bit of a scramble up to this one then a quick find and a read of the plaque....just as the weather began to turn again...
Thanks lionjrb Big Grin!

After being in Ballarat last w/e for Pi Day I decided to return but this time with the mountain bike to grab some of the various creek caches and other trail guys not that I mind walking but this seemed a better option.

Hi Found it, quick find. TFTC
 
07-Feb-15
A long day passed, we spent the whole day at the mines and it was a wonderful day till now!!

Thank you for showing this special place, because it was a very important start for this area and a part of the world like for the Chinese diggerd, but you rarely can read about this place.

So Geocaching shows again, that it's not all time just a game, it helps us learn more around us...

Thank you,
Come2gether

Find # 1850 @ 1947 H

Found with sharkiefan

Spending the weekend in Ballarat, decisions were made to hit the Buninyong area and see how many smilies we could rack up.
After the hot day we had a rest and then grabbed a couple more on the way to get tea.

the trees were giving me a false reading but something caught my eye that didn't seem to be fitting of the area. woo hoo another one down

After being offered a weekend caching to and from Ballarat with Tounga and Moneydork, how could I refuse[?] Wink
Sushilord joined us too and for 3 days we laughed and cached and laughed and cached until we could cache no more. Big Grin [|)]
As for the topics of conversation, apparently mirth, maniacal murder and mayhem were the common themes for the weekend along with a few other topics Wink
My total for a great weekend was 1 event attended in Ballarat Cool, 113 cache finds Smile 7 DNFs Sad and a FTF as I wound my way home, alone, in the early morning Cool

Interesting monument and a quick find after a great walk, this is what makes caching so cool! Cool

We were passing through hitting next closest, thanks lionjrb.

Found a cache in this general area on about the 9th of September with maybe LumpyJRB. This has got to be the silliest monument for something serious I have ever seen. I wonder if it was worded by a committee.... Cache is in good order. Thanks for bringing me here LionJRB.

Suscoe's 14th 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 stroll and a quick find.
Thanks to lionjrb for placing this cache here.
