Unfortunately I cannot see any evidence that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. It is assumed the owner of this cache listing is no longer interested in the cache and it has been abandoned.

As such I am regretfully de-listing (Archiving) this cache. If there are components or remnants of the cache, please recover them as we don't want to litter our environment with Georubbish.

Please read the Help Center article [**here**](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=56) for more information.

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.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

I notice from one or more log entries that this cache would seem to be in need of some help - **there appears to be a need for owner intervention.**

The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) I cannot see any log that indicates a recent visit by the CO to this cache.

If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) Therefore, the cache is being temporarily disabling 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) 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:

- 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 (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.

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) the cache 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.

The St Leonards Lake Trail has been published since our previous visit. So we took the opportunity today to wander around the picturesque lake. It took about 5 minutes of hunting before this cache was located - an interesting hide. Unfortunately the lid of the container had disintegrated and water had got into the container leading to a wet logbook. However we were just able to sign the log. Urgent maintenance is required as the logbook is totally exposed to the elements. Thanks geordiefamily for the cache.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

We had attempted this cache a couple times but always ran out of time to give it a good crack. Today we expanded our search radius and even tried the powerpole where our only reward was losing our extendable magnet. We headed back to GZ and noticed something small but interesting about 5m away. A cheeky spot for the cache - how did we miss that every time! TFTC

Beautiful day for caching around here.

Didn’t find today, thought I knew where it would/should be, but not there

Found during a nice weekend down on the coast.
Fantastic weather for swimming at the beach followed by a few geocaches.
Thanks for the hide very tricky

Found with McAdies and jelly_bean14.
We had a great time down at the beach and exploring the area.
Thanks for placing the cache for us to find.

Found with McAdies and Geo_Eddie.
We got to go down to the beach for the weekend whiuch was a lot of fun.
Different types of views and some nice swimming and geocaching.
Thanks for the cache hide.

Found at 12:22
I can't back today to earn the new year souvenir and avenge my previous dnf. This time it didn't take long before my hand fell on something that turned out to be the cache. I quickly had the log signed as the container replaced.
Thanks geordiefamily for the cache.

A day of caching and Christmas events in Geelong with 6hinemoa2 and 08151605.This took us way too long. Found a spot that others had logged but 6hinemoa2 advised she didn't think that was the correct log as she had already done this cache. Some local cachers came over after they saw us searching and helped us locate the correct log book. Thanks geordiefamily and the local caching family

*Out and about around Geelong for their Christmas Events*.

Out with The Empire and Happy Feet between events grabbing one or two.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment geordiefamily... Appreciate your efforts...
-P

Stamped and returned as found...

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing

Cache-On!

In Geelong for a few days to attend the Christmas events. Grabbing some local caches with Snap Happy and The Empire in between. This was a joint effort as there were others already signing log when we arrived. We left a mark on what was left of a log sheet. Needs a little TLC.
Thanks geordiefamily for placing the cache for us to find.

Travelled down from Raglan to Geelong, accompanied by Wozzle68 and Misschief18, for a massive day of caching and events.

We were about to DNF this cache when a couple of friendly locals (we think they are cachers too) rode past on their bikes and offered us a hint.

TFTC Geordiefamily.

Found with Chooknchunk and wozzle68 after attending the nearby lunch event. "Macbeth" was one of the plays by Shakespeare I studied at school. We were having difficulty getting to GZ with the GPS when we were offered a hint by a passing cyclist. I was so close I would have found it without the clue! TFTC

We managed to slip down the coast to attend some of the traditional geofunctions as well as catch up with family.

After lunch Mr Morris headed off for a dive under the pier and managed to see some stingrays and other pretty stuff while Lady Morris headed out for some local caches with Muzza, Alansee and GMJ3191.

I had looked for this previously and today was given a hefty a hint. Had certainly never really looked there!! Anyway it was found today and its remains logged - the log is in need of some attention though.
It was a fun day - thanks geordiefamily

Found by The Empire
Out and about caching around Geelong with Snap Happy and Happy Feet. After the lunchtime event and smashing a pizza, it was time for some afternoon caching. We had some DNFs here which we were able to rectify with a much larger group later on. Log missing, we were able to sign what was left. Thanks for the cache geordiefamily.

Geelong's geocaching community Christmas Events Day saw me in the Geelong area all day today.
Found after a short search. The log needs replacing, although we signed what remains. A tool was certainly needed for this one.
**Thanks for placing this cache geordiefamily**

TFTC Cheers

Found with Chooknchunk and mischief18 after attending the nearby Christmas event. We even got a bit of help from a local who road past as we searched

Not Found at 11:51
I searched 'til the family had had enough (and then some) but the hide was too good for me here today.
Thanks geordiefamily. I'll try again next time I'm in the area.

I have been to look for this cache three times so far, today I finally found it!! This is a happy day!! I do not understand how I couldn't find it last time, I must have been so close. Last time too there was someone working on a car right across the road so I couldn't spend long looking. This time there was some road works up the road but they didn't take much notice of me thank goodness!! The log was very wet, I sat it in the sunshine for a little while and tried to sign my name, returned it and put the lid back on firmly. many thanks for this tricky cache geordiefamily.

Fairly quick find although my phone had me jumping from one spot to another for 5 mins. Clues in activity helped tho and log was soon in hand and signed. Container lid is broken and the whole lot seems brittle. This may account for the damp log.
Tftc

We were in the area and I decided I would like to tidy up my map and get a few caches in the area. This was stop 1, 2 minutes there and my daughter had given up and kicked the nagging up a notch. With my mood altered we headed back to the car empty handed until the lovely lady across the road who was washing her car sent us back - assuring us it was there! A few minutes later the cache was in hand although it was very Soggy and my pen not completely cooperation the log was signed and replaced. Thank you!

The last one for today in the fading light armed with tools ready to pull apart the barriers, we walked to GZ, noticed a couple of neat holes (which weren't the cache locations) but were close by to where hubby made the find!

We'd been once before and were worried about the DNFs, still, we were in the area and why not try right? Lucky for us it turned out with a smiley face The lig is quite wet but we did manage to sign our name.

A successful day of caching indeed with zero DNFs.

Another find by the McPhail family.

Took another long look with no joy

Dnf

Looked for an extended period of time DNF

Found it! Log was very wet...

We cooldnae fin' anythin' haur the-day :-\

Lucky I had the old geo man on this search. It was found (little bit wet) signed and replaced. A knew type of find for me and quite impressed. Tftc.

After a glorious day at the beach with the family exploring the wreck of the Ozone followed by dinner in the park we stopped by in the hope of turning this in to a smiley.
The little was was located and our name was added to the log. The log was a little damp but nothing too bad.
What was bad though were the mozzies and other such bugs. The mozzies were in huge swarms and I think they tried to carry me away. I am not sure what was having a go at my ankle but boy they made me itch. All the way home I was beside myself with the itch driving me further insane than I already am.

Thank you geordiefamily for the sneakily hidden cache

We woke up early, looked out the window and were happy to see beautiful blue skys. After a helping coffee we headed out with the Edwards Point Trail in our sights. We stopped to get this before some fish'n'chips near the peer.
TFTC!!!

Found by Mary & David at 1500. Our third visit to this cache, and we needed a big hint from Crackers to find it today. Not sure we would have succeeded otherwise. Water everywhere, and mosquitos plus! There are only a couple of scraps of log left in place, but we found a blank space to record our visit. Glad to finally cross this nemesis off. Really needs a new log. Our thanks to geordiefamily.

Nice find

Unfortunately a dnf for us today. 3 of us searching for a while. No luck

We looked and looked couldn't find.

Queen's birthday holiday. Out in beautiful weather with the family including DreamyDragon. We needed to get a clue for a puzzle cache from this area, so we collected other caches in the area too. Unfortunately no find here today. GPS was very bouncy. Geokids got bored fast and were off playing in the nearby wet ditch and hubby getting eaten by mozzies, so we bailed after 15 mins. Too good for us today.

Spent a good 10 minutes here searching around our indicated GZ to no avail. Even checked out the previous coordinated, and the area between, but no luck. Our eyes are dim ... Our thanks anyway to geordiefamily.

Found while in st leonards visiting my mum first went down for a search and looked every were but couldnt find it. So we headed back home but couldnt stop thinking about it so tamzy and i grabed the tourches and went to the only spot we could think it would be and there it was tftc

Went for an evening stroll to find a cache but didnt have any luck. Decided to call it a night but couldnt stop thinking about where it might be so headed back in the car. After checking a few more spots I made the call OMG! I found the sneaky little hide and CBJH1990 and I could sign the log. TFTC

Tricky one. My first geocache ever

I like it

Another one off the list

TNLNSL TFTC/TFTH/TFBUH GeordieFamily [^]

We could not find this one : (

Found the right one this time!

Think we found this one- no log so we added our names to a new one. Very tricky and the gps doesn't seem to be very precise for this one.

This was indeed tricky. Had to PAF to find it. The log is a lot the worse for wear. I took a photo of the spot as proof as I couldn't write on it all.Not adding it to the log but happy to forward it to you in need be.
TFTC geordiefamily

Nice hiding spot!

Thought I would have go at this one today, seeing as I was in the area. Luckily it was fairly quite, so I could search in peace. Luck was on my side today and I soon found the hide. The logbook has just about disappeared, but I managed to add my name in there. Thanks for a clever hide, great to have a smiley on this one. TFTC geordiefamily

lol lm on a run today and not a good one, another dnf for me found one spot which l thought l was right on the money but nothing l could see in there so on my way l go to come back at a later date

Nice hide, no tool to extract, so no entry in log. TFTC

Wow I wasn't sure what I was doing here was legal. Did anyone see me with my tools?
Anyway I think I got away Scot free as it were.
Lucky I had what was required on board
Cheers

Over for the Melbourne Mega and collecting some caches along the way.

TFTC

Staying in nearby Queenscliff with the hubby and 4 & 6 year old geokids and today we went exploring. We didn't have much luck here even using tools etc. until I read a previous log and then relooked. Cache found. Nice effort here. Thanks for the cache

No luck for us here. Thought we may have found the spot but didn't have any tools to try for an extraction today.

First hint of Spring around today and that makes geocaching much more fun
This one had me at gz but was checking wrong features using wrong tools. Have never extracted a log with the tool I used today and I was lucky to have it with me. Felt a bit conspicuous doing it though.
Thanks for this different cache.

i thought it might be that but couldnt budge it. when back to my car because i had my work tools in there and found the right one! presto i was right

Searched for quite sometime around GZ looking for something different until we realised our mistake and looked a bit higher.
Fortunately the Leatherman comes in handy for lots of different things and today was no exception.
Unfortunately it appears the log has been attempted to be accessed another way and has been ripped.
We managed to fit our name on there but a new log sheet is definitely needed.
Thanks geordiefamily for an interesting hide.

Found with Team Crackers and micaparamedic on a cool day. WHen we got to this one we thought "surely not" but yes it was. Fortunately we had the right tool but the authorities that be are frowning on such caches these days.

Spending a day on the Bellarine Peninsula in the company of Alansee and micaparamedic picking up a few caches.
We were not sure if we had found GZ or not but thankfully having the right tool proved we had,

To save room in the log we signed as "MATC". Micaparamedic, Alansee and Team Crackers.

Thanks geodiefamily for bringing us here and a refreshment on Macbeth.

Headed to Drysdale with Sorceysal and Tess the Geodog today in order to help SS get Oh so closer to the 3k milestone.
With that series knocked off in really good time, we had a crack at a few more caches in town here after a pie and slice for lunch. No luck here for us despite SS having a better idea of what the clue meant than I did. Next time......

A day out with bogonghazy and geodog Tess to complete the D2B series as well as some local caches. Searched and searched and found something that we thought might be the cache but nothing there. Will try again next time we are in the area. Thanks geordiefamily

Slink1, JT123 and I set off again this week to Geelong to continue what we had started last week.
There were many and varied hides with some offering more of a challenge than others. The weather was good and a great day caching was had. TNLT TFTC SL

Back to Geelong this arvo to grab the extra recently published caches along with many others in our route many thanks to geordiefamily for the effort and placement of this cache TNLN SL

Nice day out caching down at Geelong, good sweep of the area. Tftc

Today was my monthly caching day out with Biggles Bear, with the Bellarine Peninsula our target. Found quickly without any trouble. A little different to most caches.

My thanks to geordiefamily for the cache.

Found 1:56:00 PM, in the company of Muyzza during our regular May caching expedition. This month down on the Bellarine

TNLN, thanks geordiefamily.

Searched all likely spots had tools but they were no use
Sorry to log a DNF
GentryAlveston

Oooh.... That's sneaky ....I had to PAF for this one.
Well done Geordiefamily. Nice work.
24/04/2015 15:48 Find #1093

Done a check and all good. Cache and log still in place.

Found something in a pole that we thought was it but nothing inside
May need a replacement log

No luck with this. Saw a few spots that seemed likely but no luck.

Catching up on some logs that I have discovered hadn't been published yet. As always I have enjoyed the challenge of looking for and finding this cache.

Many thanks geordiefamily for placing this cache .

Had to have two trips to snare this tricky hide, mainly due to a GPSr that was spinning around all over the place. I searched many and varied locations then finally settled on a spot where I don't think that I should have been searching. Anyway, there it was and the log was finally signed after the required tool was in hand. Thanks to geordiefamily for the hunt.

haha goood good good hide!! Loved it <3 went with aunty na na, pop & uncle pet and myself x

We had been here before and agree that this location calls for a geocache by geordiefamily! However, with the GPSr uncertain which feature it wanted to take us to, we walked in circles and tried everything - so we thought - to no avail.
Today, after enjoying an event in Queenscliff and equipped with a little hint, we tried our luck again. Still, the one who did not know the hint touched the cache without recognising it [|)]. So, the hint was put to good use. We knew what kind of tool we would need, so we were prepared for that and able to sign the log soon.
It will be interesting to see how long the hide can last - at this stage it is in good shape.
Thanks for the hunt (twice) and for the smilie!

...and so it ends....
After 400 days of continuous finds and with this the only remaining unfound cache on the Bellarine we were off to Queenscliff for our annual family holiday the streak could not continue. So, with our morning ride to "Point" for coffee out of the way followed by a trip to the beach, I grabbed the Geo6E and headed across the peninsula.
I parked nearby and headed over to GZ where the GPSr was inclined to lead me in circles. As I attempted to negotiate with it, a local muggle cruised slowly past so I made a small detour until they departed and then returned and followed the GPSr in the one direction I had yet to check.
Fortunately I immediately spotted what I was after and (having been given a heads up by a previous finder) had come prepared. A little work and I soon had the log in hand. A quick signature and then I replaced everything and headed for home.
Mission complete!
Thanks geordiefamily for a clever hide !

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there geordiefamily. We found your cache "The Scottish Play or Geordiefamily ?" at 1:07:00 PM today,. This cache makes our find count 10152.
[Blue]
A nice, quick park-n-grab today.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache exactly where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Nothing.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

PS: We liked the concept but don't think this cache will last too long. It isn't waterproof and is prone to damage from repeated use. (Experienced cachers will have the correct tool, but then there's the inconsiderate ones that won't and will wreck the hide when trying to open it.) [:(!]

Driving down this way after work to scout when I passed a certain road. Hmmm that'd make a good puzzle / waypoint... slams on breaks...loads caches...thought that rang a bell!

Checked the usual spots then found in an unusual location- didn't use a tool here so not to interfere. TFTC for today

19:45
Luckily for us this one is not too far from home. After quite a bit of fruitless searching and head scratching we finally noticed something suspicious. We did not have the appropriate tool with us, so a return trip was made later in the evening. H-P's Dad was very involved in the industry and he would not be happy to see this.

Thanks to geordiefamily for the hunt.

We needed to find a cache today to fill a spot on our calendar. This one was nice and close by before we departed the area heading northward with our caravan. This tricky little hide required a return to our car for a special tool. A rather unusual hide.

Thanks geordiefamily

Found at 11:53 AM GAFF1. We avoided that spot as it didn't look very promising, but then the GPSr insisted that we go over to it and check it out. Nothing obvious at first and then a small slither jutting out and I was then so glad that I had a Leatherman with me.
Not sure that this type of hide is condoned by the reviewers, but we enjoyed it.
Thanks geordiefamily.

Out to change eight green squares to smiley faces and this guy was the first. Due to my background I have some problems with this type of hide but it is a good idea but !!!!!!
Thanks for the idea and a great set of notes.

Suscoe's second find on a late afternoon run down on the Bellarine.
We were expecting something unusual and so with the GPS settling we spotted the likely spot and then the hide.
Hmmmmm that is certainly unusual and the log was signed while keeping an eye out for any forest that might advance towards us!
The good thing was that there were no witches here today!
Thanks to the Geordiefamily for this cache.

Found this one a couple days ago. Almost forgot to log it. Had the tool I needed but was checking a little too low when I notice I little something jutting out the side of something. A crafty hide indeed.

Great co-ords, clever hide. We like the name too McBeth-Ks. How many red herrings did you put in?!?!? Deliberate or already there??
We were pleased to find this one by a bit of luck and just passing home from day out round at Indented Head- only one prior log to go on, and a hint that made no sense to us (Sorry Jayne- you will have to PM what that is all about?!)
OUT, OUT DAMN CACHE, we were shrieking and wringing our hands after a few minutes going round and round only likely spot. A lot of tool action required, and not pliers or tweezers. Hard blowing wind, and a certain, fortuitous angle revealed the log just as we were about to give up the GHOST. A favourite from us for an inventive and novel hide. THANK YOU GEORDIE FAMILY. Signed- our second, second to find in our short Geo career- not yet drawn into the FTF fray, but could we start to get drawn into the chase?!?! We shall see, we shall see.....

Published

FTF
This one popped up on my Email but I had limited time so I left it for a while, after an hour of publication I had an hour spare so I set off for GZ. Arrived at GZ and I was walking round in circles check available spots but still no cache. Then I remembered something I'd seen before and thought I'd give that a go, Bingo.
Great camo.
Thanks for this great hide Geordiefamily
