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. 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.

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

----------

Hi there Cache Owner,

This cache has come to my notice as there is a 'Needs Maintenance' log that that indicates there is some sort of issue with the placement and it needs your attention please.

Check out the Guidelines here: [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable the cache**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.

**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 suck.

Nice quick find . Tftc

TFTC, part if a day out here

Great little find

My friend and I thought we would take a wander through the You Yangs to see if we could find a few GeoCaches ... and this little beauty was our first one of the day ... thank you ..

New log needed..quick find with help from my muggles tftc

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

Spent the day at the You Yangs today with wyndam kinders- a walk on country day, grabbed this cache just before leaving-area covered I'm mozzies

Out at the You Gangs and enjoying a birthday party with my family. The co has done an excellent job with this one and it has been very popular with the caching public. Thanks for the series and for all the maintenance entailed.

Swapped my crystal for a lama thanks

Muggles sneaking up from all directions. Wow. Easy find.

Easy find thanks to the hint

Nice find

Quick find love this place

Easy find on a crisp winter morning

Found on 30 Jun 2019 at 9:16 am.
We have been meaning to come to the You Yangs park for some time so we had a fair few hours to today so Fleabag- and I decided to concentrate on the main loop and the 100's & 1,000's challenge cache but when we arrived the whole road was closed off due to yesterday's heavy rain. Oh well, we headed off for some different ones since I have never been in this area and there were plenty of other caches to look for.

After hour plans had changed we decided to do this nice little loop of caches and a bonus for Fleabag was that there were a few regular size container which he was trying to build his count up on. No problems on any of the finds except for a few minutes at the terrain 3 one.
Thanks suehut for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

New book needed. Left eraser, took Dyson Heppell footy card (Go dons) muggle free.

Came to the you yangs today because my little has never been. So figured we'd do a spot of caching while we here. Nice quick find Tftc

Marshall’s Geelong found this cache today,
Easy find while out and about. No cars drove past! TFTC. I don’t think I’ve seen this much animal dropping’s in my life!

A nice quick find.

Tftc suehut

First visit to the You Yangs in many years . Lovely spot and we had a great day, sighting some Kangaroos, Wallabies, Hawks, and even some wild goats, along with some great scenery and some great caches.

This one was obvious from a way off due to a high level of camo back god find all the same. Thanks Suehut.

Well we over complicated this. A very straightforward find but gps had us in the wrong place. Hops and I were both annoyed with ourselves! The geo pooch happily climbed over rocks and waited for us while we searched. Thanks for the cache

Nice easy find. Thanks.

This was my last free weekend day whilst Tarbit was holidaying overseas and so a plan was hatched to tackle some caches in the You Yangs with SirJ-Oz. As per usual I did the driving and he did the navigating. Once we realised the Circle Drive was closed to vehicles we altered our original plans and headed to the You Yangs Views series. This was just a small diversion along the way and I was lucky to go almost right to it for a quick find. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache suehut. This really is a lovely park to visit.

Find #4107. Found @ 10:49 with Annoying Tarbit

The plan for today was to visit the You Yangs and surrounds with Annoying Tarbit, and have a day of caching. We didn't count on the Great Circle Drive being closed, so ended up doing (according to my fitbit) almost 20kms of walking for the day. It was a long day with AT collecting me at 8am and I got home again about 10pm.

Moving on to the East-West loop around Flinders Peak means that we pass close by to this cache, close enough for a quick diversion.

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

Found it! The notebook of names is full

We had a lovely day exploring the lower picnic area surrounds and then across to Big Rock.

Thanks for the cache.

Got it! Last cache of 2018 after the annoying DNF on one of the others (which I'll log as DNF shortly). Nice series.

Tftc

A regular sized cache with an attribute I dont have mean this cache ticks two boxes for me. A bit if a search turned up nothing then I stood up to take in my surroundings and spotted the obvious about 7-8m away from where my phone gps had me placed. TFTC.

Tftc. Found with a very excited group of children.

First cache in the You Yangs. Log book full but squeezed my initials in on the back cover.

Great day out abseiling big rock and finding geocaches

Found while out caching with teamashy. She had found it before and was able to steer me in the right direction. TFTC

A weekend away with FWBs. Have always wished to visit the You Yangs, as I grew up in the Blue Mountains. This is a generic log to help me catch up with the long overdue logging of my found caches. Please note that each cache and location can be remembered but due to time restraints unable to personalize each log. The date logged may also differ to day found. Thank you for sharing this location for us.
JABs.

Found on a day out at the Yu Yangs first visit here beautiful place TFTC

With my bro in the Youies - TFTC

I had a bit of spare time this afternoon so decided to come over to the You Yangs for a walk & a bit of caching. Thanks

In the company of the ever enthusiastic Aaliyah (in charge of taking and leaving trinkets!) and joined by Max, the apprentice and Graeme (alternate grandpa) ... Not a rocky attempt at all! Left a geonickel and a bottletop (not that sort!) took a bus! SL, TFTC!

Found it! Tricky rock hide.

Found it with Chloe!
Good 1st find for the day

Note to owner. Paper needs refilling please

Thanks for the hide

Found this one a few times - good to finally log it

First find for 2018. Had planned to go caching at least once a week this year but haven't managed so far. So I'll say the plan was to go caching at least once a week from Feb...

Seems apt that my first find for 2018 is also the first time this cache has been found this year.

TNLN TFTC

Easy find needs new log book
Out:nothing In:golf ball

#2828 A little more exposed here, however the only muggles were some distance away at a BBQ shelter we think, it was a big group though. A few potential spots to check but Mr BGF located the cache without too much issue. TFTC suehut.

Used the car as cover as some people were sitting very close nearby. They didn't see a thing , or the other people in the other area. Muggles everywhere, beware.

Nicely tucked away

Out with au.fait, we started the day with this one. Quick find. Thanks suehut

Stopped nearby and a quick search soon had the cache in hand. TFTC suehut

Went out to find a quick cache, taking the geo daughter for a drive in the car headed out this way and found after a little search. TFTC

Easy find after the geocaching event.
TFTC

Bring a new logbook and enjoy the tunes

Great hide and awesome container! Log book signed and returned. This one is well and truly muggle free. But you may get a few odd looks from those having a bbq

Yep

Nice quick find. TFTC

Quick easy find with a dash back to the car before a shower of rain.
Another find by the McPhail family... TFTC

13:54, 16 June 2017. #707.

On a mission with the geo-wife today to: 1. get day #241 ticked off the calendar: 2. to move the centroid a little closer to home: and 3. to pick up all the traditional caches on the YYCD trail, with a few bonuses from the Lower Picnic Area.

Like most of the best laid schemes of mice and men, this one 'gang a'gley' . We should have checked the Parks Victoria website before we headed out today. There was a major cycling event, planned to finish by 13:00 (or when completed) and the car park was closed to all vehicles until then. Which meant, a park outside the Park and walk to the Lower Picnic Area, then a drive around the Great Circle Drive.

After all the detours to get to the Park and a lot more walking than planned, we basically had a shortened version of the original plan and fewer caches found. Still a good day's caching and an excuse to come back for the others another day.

The cache is in good condition.


TNLNSL. TFTC suehut.

At the You Yangs today and managed to pop over and grab a few of the close caches between turning sausages. This took a little longer than it should have but a good hide. Thanks for another cache in the You Yangs.

First cache find! With the Sim family.

On our day out to the You Yangs and doing a little bit of caching while enjoying the place. Still quiet here today but I can imagine this place getting really busy. Nice hiding place TFTC

A nice easy find as despite the Geodog not wanting anything to do with the GZ...

Out for a day of caching with Zedaycee and Angelique Anja. At the You yangs. This one was the second one for the day. nice and easy! Scramble

Nice easy find on a beautiful day. Great one for the little kids.

Great find, tftc

Easy find on a lovely day Tftc

Love this area. TFTC

Nice cache! Doing this whole series =)

It's hidden between 2 small rocks

Well I have been here several times for pucnucs and didn't realuse this cache was here, but it popped up on my cgeo app that I am using now. Happy to scamble around the rocks till Buttscratcher and I found it. Signed and returned, then we went back to our picnic to clean up. TFTC.

Find #1061

1st time in the You Yangs so after a short walk nearby we drove around the internal roads to earn a few more smileys. TFTC

After meeting up with leafotwind in the carpark, we parted ways.
Noam went off to find the You Yangs Views series while +wife and myself headed down here.
A fairly quick find on this one. They were not all like that.
Thanks for the cache suehut

In the area with leafotwind and n0w0rries today.
Not too hot yet.
First find of the day.
Thanks for the cache suehut

We lost the mum and youngest child for this one (too hot) but 2 bigger kids, dog i pushed on to find our 3rd find today. The boy took a zip-tie from the cache and got it stuck on his wrist!

TFTC It Was A Good Walk Here And A Nice Spot In The Rocks.

This was my last one for the day and off to pickup my granddaughters from the Christmas party at my daughter's works. Now I realise I missed out number 2. I will have to come back another day, but that will be no hardship. Thanks suehut.

12:18 pm #2574
Whilst attending the nearby Christmas BBQ event, GemmaSistema and I wandered over to eventually find this nicely hidden cache. Wow, That took us way longer than it should have!
TFTC suehut

We were at the picnic ground for the Christmas BBQ and with the festivities drawing to a close it was suggested that we go for a walk and look for this mini series of caches. Off we went in quite a good sized group for a pleasant walk around the area chatting our heads off along the way.
All the caches were relatively quick finds with the youngest members of the group really getting into the hunt.
Thanks suehut for placing these caches for us to find.

Found today after making a quiet exit from the lunch event. We made a quick find with this one and then continued on to the next closest hide, thanks suehut for the cache.

Found with a group while attending an event nearby. Tftc

In Geelong for the Christmas Events and some caching with Happy pants, Happy Feet 1 & Omegaman1971. We signed logs as DRAG Team.
We found this one following the Christmas BBQ Lunch Event. TFTC suehut.

Found as part of a group assault while at the event today. This was the last one we did and it was just a matter of checking the possiblities.

A nice walk along with some others at the event today.

Here to attend the Christmas events with Happy pants, omegaman1971 and Yoshi Warriors, signing as DRAG Team. Made a quick discovery once we had wandered to GZ after lunch.
Thanks suehut for putting on the event.
#4128

With four events today in Geelong (of which I could make it to three), why not head down this way for the day. This was the last of the caches surrounding the BBQ event, and was again a quick find in a group.

My thanks to suehut for the cache.
