Sadly I have been super unwell and had no time to fix this. There is light at the end or the tunnel and all of our caches will be repaired and back online soon.

I am just recovering from a month of covid. As soon as my body is ready to work correctly again, I will get out to check this.

With lockdown over, I will check on this mini trail in the next two weeks.

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

Hi carkisser,

This cache has been listed as possibly needing owner intervention. You may recall having received an automated email from Geocaching HQ recently which explained what you needed to do.

The cache is being temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed.

Whilst it is recognized that as a result of the current COVID19 situation, it might not be possible for a Cache Owner to just pop out and check on a cache, we still need to know that you are on top of the issue.

CO's of caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis will be given some extra time to react. Caches where the cache owner does not currently feel it is safe to maintain will not be archived in the normal time frame, **as long as there is some indication from the CO. Don't let a lack of communication kill this cache.**

#What should you do:-#
- Should the Regional Health and State Government requirements allow it **AND** you feel it safe for you to maintain this cache now, please feel free to do so.

- **Alternatively,** what you need to do is place a Write Note log indicating a date when you expect/hope you might be able to attend to the issue/s.

#Please Note#
When the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, **or there is no acknowledgment from the CO as requested above,** it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned and processed accordingly.

HS/Covid

Have flown down to Melbourne from Sydney for a 2 week training course at the Melbourne Tullamarine Airport Air Traffic Control Centre, but my main interest will be in collecting as many Victorian (VK3 in HAM radio terms) caches as possible during my free time away from the workplace. My primary caching target areas will be the Woodlands Historic Park (with it’s 100 plus caches), the Moonee Ponds Creek Trail, the Outer Circle Railway Trail, the Donaldson’s Creek Trail, the Ruffey Creek Trail, Eltham (Diamond Valley Railway), and the suburbs surrounding my Essendon apartment. This was the 9th of 50 finds for the day, and the 177th of 242 finds for the trip.

With only one weekend available to me for private activities (between the two weeks of training) I planned to make the most of it with some serious caching activities lined up for both days. Today (Sunday) I was off to Eltham to visit the Diamond Valley Miniature Railway, where a work colleague was rostered on for train duties, and to do some of the cache trails that lay along my intended route.

Continuing along the trail this was the next one I came to, and it was another nice quick find. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC carkisser & JSando.
