Unfortunately there does not seem to be any evidence that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement or an indication as to when this might take place

It would appear the owner of this cache listing is no longer interested in the cache and the cache has been abandoned.

As such the cache is being de-listed (Archived). If there are components or remnants of the cache, please recover them as we don't want to litter our environment with Georubbish.

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

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

Hi there 42below,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **MAY** need some attention.

You may recall having received an automated email from Geocaching HQ which explained what you needed to do.

Unfortunately, nothing seems to have happened, so I am having to take the next step and temporarily disable the cache - see here: [**Geocache Health Score.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713)

**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:

- Check on the cache, repair and/or replace the cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked 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 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. For ongoing issues (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to speed.

- If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**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.

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) 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 information/advice posted above.

We looked in the two only obvious spots but were not in either

no luck

Spent a while looking for it, no luck. Not sure if it's still there.

First time looking for a cache and no luck

Not having much luck with these caches today

Marking this one as a DNF today sadly. We spent quite some time here looking and couldn't find it. Perhaps another time.

Found

Very cool cache

Dnf

Bloody cfa must have stolen it

Literally looked everywhere and couldn't find it at all even though the comments say that it's an easy find. We probably spent 30 minutes to find it but no luck

On my walk to get Duck Now and the Lost Ark I wandered past to this gem. Nice easy find, but the standout was the fantastic Goldfields trail that took me from the Uni to here. Thanks very much - TNLNSL

A quick find because it was somewhat exposed when found. TFTC.

A great day out caching over this side of the country.
Enjoying the sights as we travel around.
Thanks for sharing this spot.

An easy find TFTC

In the area a few weeks ago, we decided to leave this one for another visit and bring some SES swaps when we return: The vulture is a dedicated member of the Geelong Unit. Return we did today, quickly spotted what we were after, and left three SES stickers.
Took TB to keep it moving.

catching up on some old TB logs!

Found today while visiting our caching friends Cauzsa. Quick find.
SL TNLN TFTC

Haven't been out for awhile took the the two wanderers for a drive and lunch. Left a TB as well.
Our emergency services are a valuable asset to our way of life. Keep up the good work and TFTF

One of many finds with n0w0rries on our Ballarat caching weekend away.
Thanks to all the cache owners for their efforts.

You geocache was out in the open. Upside down. We replaced it in the obvious location. It looked as though the mower had dislodged it.
All good inside the cache.
Found with +Wife.
Thanks for the cache 42below.
It filled the gap between the event and nightcaching very nicely. [^]

nice quick find

Find #3394. Found @ 16:45 with The Good Lady Wife.

We're in Ballarat to help the in-law's out on a holiday. The bribery to get me on board with this plan was some caching.

Leaving the kids at the accommodation, The Good Lady Wife and I went for a combination of caching and getting steps. Parking nearby and the doing every other cache on the way out, and the remainder on the way back. After finding some caches on the trail, this one was too close to pass up.

Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache 42below

**Found whilst in Ballarat for a couple of Events**.

Cache-On!

Found by The Empire with Snap Happy
A day in Ballarat, attending a CITO at Warrenheip Creek and afternoon tea at Eureka. With caches being archived rapidly along the 'Symbol' Series, we took this good opportunity to head down and pick up the caches that are left. We grabbed this one on the way down south. Thanks for the cache 42below.

Found it

Found on our Australian adventure. TFTC.

Found for second time
Found with Priscilla at 1121pm )

We're filling in a few hours around Ballarat while the electric car we're relocating for a family member gets some change up for the next leg of our journey. Thanks.

I covered this cache up again like previous logs but I suspect it won't be long before it gets muggled.

Very easy find. This was completely exposed and immediately visible on arrival at GZ.
Did our best to cover it up. Difficulty rating more like a 1.5 I think.
TFTC!

Quick find despite the difficulty rating. TFTC.

Did not take long to find this cache. Nice new Fire Station. Thanks for the informative notes.
TFTC 42below

A bike ride today took me past the shiny new fire station
I stopped outside and looked over to where the GPS was pointing.
It seemed unlikely that the cache was near the building,
so I ignored the GPS

A promising spot was nearby,
and I soon tracked down the cache there
No call outs today [^]
But a quick cache find extinguished any chance of a DNF

Find #1523 for me. Found with virbull and GeoAditya. I'd visited this location several weeks before but there were was action at the fire station so decided to postpone the search for another day. Today there was also activity at the fire station (maybe Sunday isn't the best day to search for this one?) but we had a good idea where it was. Virbull got out of the car to quickly confirm we were correct so we were able to add our names to the log-book in no time without attracting any unwanted attention and we were soon on our way. Thanks for the cache 42below!

Easy park and grab find. Thanks for placing the cache here.

"Remember that shop we went to at Easter? Can we please go back there?" The GeoKids were reminiscing about The Crafty Squirrel - a rather fun and cute shop we visited when in Ballarat over the Easter school holidays. I took the opportunity for some incentive-based encouragement: we could indeed go to The Crafty Squirrel, and they could spend $1 for every cache we found on the way, with a bonus $1 for every cache they found (rather than me or GeoHubby making the find). Everybody wins!

GeoHubby and I spotted this one from the car, but did a lot of "Oh I wonder where it is? Is it up in the tree?" while giving the GeoKids time to make the find for themselves.

Log signed and all replaced as found.

TFTC!

PS. 10 caches found, $14 earned, in case you're interested!

Nice easy cache for me. Enjoyed the information. TFTC

First geocache of the day. Thanks for the easy one. Mcdougall Clan and Angel Boys.

A road trip to Ballarat today with BoatieTim. After attending the nearby event, BT agreed to pick up a couple of caches to fill spots on my placed dates grid.
Quick park n grab here in front of the shiny new premises. Cheers.
Keep up the good work, guys. Hope you have a quiet summer.

17:45 10 Sept 16 #42 Found it. While out and about in Ballarat with OzHockeyChick for the day after attending the 2 months to surf coast event today, we headed over to collect this one seeing we were in the area. We found the new facility completed and looking great, I cautiously drove into the parking area and hesitantly parked as there was already a vehicle parked in the car park. Not knowing if anyone was in the building or they were out on a job we exited the vehicle and cautiously looked around the area for what we were looking for and soon OHC had the cache in sight. I walked toward it and then collected the container with utmost stealth all the time both of us watching around to see if anyone was there or not inside the building and for the few muggles driving past.. I opened the container, had a peek in there at the items inside while OHC signed the log. I am a CFA member but had nothing with me on this day to place into the container so left it as we found it and once the log was written I placed it back in its hiding spot.. TFTC and a spif looking new facility.. we then left the carpark onward to the last of the caches for the day.

Thanks hider. Its nice to be in the sunshine again. Found by the 8 year old hunter

Winter is finishing which leaves more cache time! Thanks hider. Found by the 8 year old easily

We caught up with Alansee and The Drovers for a few days caching around the Creswick and Ballarat area.
This was the last cache in the uni grounds for us today and we thought that it might be a CNL but fortunately the grass sprayer parked near gz and then walked off to start on the other side of the reserve so we were able to grab the cache and add our names to the log
Thanks 42 below for the cache.
