Shelly Way Warrnambool, Victoria, Australia
By cgillmartin (Cache Guardian = Wollaston) on 26-Aug-14. Waypoint GC5BR2B

Guardian no longer able to manage placement.

Ive requested this cache be disabled for now until my next visit back to Warrnambool (hopefully April)

Cache not available - Disabled until Cache Guardian is able to visit and check.

Spent an hour looking in what I thought were all the right places but.... obviously not! Hopefully better luck next time.

Can't find this. Especially difficult with no hint given

DNF

thank u very much

SL at 5:10pm. Daytrip out with bdiaw in Warrnambool today. We did some op shopping, had an appointment, picked something up, had lunch and then headed out here to take in the scenery. A nice leisurely walk out to the cache at dusk. Looked through the shells before leaving the area and then headed to Maccas for an incredibly long wait for a horrible coffee before making the trip home.
*TFTC cgillmartin/Wollaston and the challenge!

What a great location

Touring around the town of Warrnambool today in the wet and windy weather, not stopping us from grabbing some caches. Bit of a stroll out here in the rain but certainly worth it. A quick find at GZ and all good here. Cheers.

Find #5199 on 2 Feb 2023.
TFTC cgillmartin!

Due to unforeseen circumstances Mr Smokey Bear will no longer be a part of Team Smokey Bear and will continue his adventures as "SmokeyBearOG".

So I'm relogging all previous finds under my new account.
Unfortunately this log will not show the original logging date.

**Thanks to cgillmartin for this adventure, looking forward to many more.**

thank youu

Another one for the trusty cache hound!!!!

Wow wow wow.

Perfect day for a bike ride out to Shelley beach. TFTC.

Very good hiding spot

Our new date hobby!

Very sneaky hiding spot

Great spot! The navigation is pretty close to spot on!

It doesn’t appear to still be here in the area. It may have been washed away? Pretty close to the water in high tide.

Would recommend the owner goes down to have a look

Were?

Thank you for hiding it. The views were awesome.

Made of the sunshine this afternoon, and went to find prize a lot muggles on the track and at Shelly beach as it was school holidays, so went down on beach looking for shells not much about. After the muggles moved on the hunt was on, Coordinates got me very close to GZ and with a bit of a search the prize was found. TFTC gets a favourite for the hid and location.

love it!!

Cool and fun find with my cousin

Very nice cache and good to see it wasn't too hard to find on this beach! I wandered off to the waters edge to take some happy snaps while I was here.

Another beautiful spot along the coast. A bit windy today but still a nice walk. Not a busy track, haven't run into anyone else so far. Coordinates got me very close to GZ.

A busy day's caching around Warrnambool with The Morris.
Not sure how we ended up with so many to do, but we got most that we didn't need special equipment, or weren't locked out of.

Nice to continue the walk down to this point.
Thanks to Wollaston for minding this cache and keeping it in play.
Thanks, Robmc.

Robmc ventured to the SouthWest and we spent a couple of days collecting a few of the caches in Warrnambool.

The weather was perfect to wander these trails although we did get a little disoriented coming back. Cache is in good condition.
Thanks for contributing to the fun cgillmartin

Found it this time while visited family in Warrnambool

Great spot!

Surprised to see the whale! Thanks for the cache!

Beautiful spot!

Thank you fir brining us here!!

After a stunning wonder down from Thunder Point, and many laps up and down the rocks we stumbled across the hidden treasure! Beautiful! We will be back again to take in the view! Happy Valentine’s Day

TFTC! Nice and beautiful place.

First to find the newly planted cache. Coordinates spot on after a bit of rock n roll.
Very windy. Parked further away than necessary but a lovely walk.

**Enabling cache** - Cache now being looked after by the geocaching community as a Community Cache under the guardianship/care of 'Wollaston'

Found it. Great spot to watch the waves come in

Even though this cache has had a run of DNFs I thought why not have a crack at it seeing as though it wasn't much further down the track. I concentrated my search a bit further out from posted GZ central, as a few previous finders mentioned their coords were off a little bit but unfortunately I didn't have any luck. Lots of great spots to hide a cache but all came up empty today. Hope this one gets fixed up, seems a waste to not attract cachers to this spot.Thx anyway, I tried!

Hi there cgillmartin,

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)

**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days so others know exactly what is happening with this cache - please don't let a lack of communication kill this cache.**

#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache and repair and/or replace 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.

- **Place A Write Note Log:-** Reviewers are not mind readers, so without your note on the cache page telling them what the situation is, they can't tell what is going on with the cache.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) and, when the listing is next checked, all will be fine for a little bit longer. But be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.
If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date), please ensure you visit this page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks so as to keep everyone up to speed with what is happening.

- **Adopt/Archive:-** 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 the above. Well, when the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned and processed accordingly.

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.

**JUST A TIP:-** Have you checked out the new Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own? Have a read about it [**HERE.**](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/07/welcome-to-the-cache-owner-dashboard/?newsletter=PM) You will find your very own dash board [**HERE**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner?utm_source=geocaching&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=COD)

Thanks for you cooperation,

DNF. Believe to be missing

can the owner check and confirm the cache is still there please?

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

We gave it a crack too, but no good. 2 x GPS and 1 iPhone all pointed to the same spot but there was nothing within about 5m of this point. Gone?

Had a try myself, didn’t see a spot that stood out. Lots of tiny shells to admire

So disappointed. A four hour drive and this is where we hoped to place our trackable. Four of us searched for 45 minutes but had to eventually give up.
I hope it hasn't been muggled.

Is it possible that this one is missing

There's an hour of my life I won't get back. So proud of myself for finally finding it. Phone navigation was way off.

Hard find but got there, well done. Navigation isn’t right

Looked around and did not find the cache today. Will have to come back another day.

Thanks

Found it!

Found this one with the help of the Hammersley’s!

Lovely walk and view

??

Thankyou great spot!

Rugged up in our winter woollies we headed along the track to find a few caches. After the biting wind from the breakwater it was great to be sheltered a bit by the scrub. What a pretty little beach!! A fp from me for the prettiness of the beach. Tftc

On this beautiful Winters day we decided to cache first, then book in to our accommodation before shopping, maybe.... maybe not shopping at all, lol. We tasted the not so delightful smells before we read the signs. Omg!! The stench was pretty thick!!! It was soon forgotten about once we arrived at Shelly Beach. What a pretty place!!! This is what I love about geocaching, the beautiful places that we wouldn’t have known about if weren’t on the hunt for sistema containers. A fp for the location. Tftc

Finally found it! Nice hide

Awesome views and a great challenge map was a little off TFTC

Sneaky hide with lots of places to look. Very windy here today. Walking trail was also very popular today. TFTC

Thanks

Great find, my 5 year old was super pleased with herself to find it by herself!!

Amazing views

Found, was a Good time searching

Little miss shy is waiting to say Hi!

Beautiful walk. Thanks!

Tftc

Thought I wouldn’t be able to find it or that it would be washed away by the tide! But it was very quick to find. TFTC

Found it!

Beautiful spot

Needed this walk and view in wake of negative world news. Thank you.

Found 16/2/20

Couldn't find it, searched for a good 30 mins

Went for a walk today exploring this magnificent piece of coastline. The cache took a little bit to find once we were at GZ. Checked out the shells while we were here. TFTC

Found this one a while ago with lovefromlauryn, TFTC!

Found it notebook is getting a tad wet

Nice little hide! Took me a bit but always worth it. Tftc

Great spot. Fun to explore the beach area

Out with Dad on the bike and collecting a few caches around town

Found while out on a bike ride.

Had fun exploring here

Found by The Empire + H
On our way to Warrnambool for NYE. The change had swept through and 40 degrees was a distant memory or a sweatier time. 25 degrees and a sea breeze, lovely walking and exploring temperature. There were some people fishing nearby but were busy doing other things whilst we found this cool cache. Thanks cgillmartin.
