Could not find it thinking that the recent flooding has moved it or it’s covered in mud
A quick drive by on our weekend adventuring in Albury & surrounds! Caches are loaded up for a day of exploring & glad to tuck another one off the list. Tftc! ️
The container is ready, the log book all sorted, now I just need time to get to it. I'm aiming for this Sunday
### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###

Hi there lillieb05,
It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is an issue with the placement. The cache has been 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.
**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.**
#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 logs of praise to roll in.
- **Place A Write Note Log::-** Reviewers don't have a crystal ball, so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, or you have been in hospital, or the area is in flood, 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 a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
**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 the page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks, so as to keep everyone up to speed.**
- **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 those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when a Reviewer next looks at the cache page, it is likely that they will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) 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.
**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)

I parked the car at Pearsall St and my dog & I enjoyed a walk around the park.
Arrived at GZ and there are a lot of muggles out today.
A quick find but unfortunately the geo was wet inside and the log was ruined. Managed to write my name on it. Message sent to the CO.

Great walking trail on this lovely spring day, located the cache quickly based on the title, but it seriously needs some maintenance, see the attached pic of the logsheet, it's seen much better days (did not have the spares to assist), TFTC lillieb05
Log is missing and cache is damp. Found with trainsport and the Trackables. Swapped a Ooshie for a plastic coin
Went for a walk with one of my geokids while the others did some shopping in Lavi. We found 2 geocaches here, old one with no log and a replacement about 1m apart. Nice little walk this, thanks !
As a member of TeamOZCAT logged in this cache, I am now logging as an individual predominantly to avoid any mistaken/unnecessary revisitation.
Under groundspeak guidelines, this logging is acceptable as I was indeed at Cache GZ in person in recent times. However, all cache owners have the right to delete logs as they see fit. Usually done to "Armchair loggers" or inappropriate texting.
If any cache Owner/s have questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact.
TeamOZCAT logged finds when both Karen and Reg logged as individuals. This logging is exactly the same, only in reverse. Again, groundspeak acceptable.
For an unspecified period of time TeamOZCAT are no longer cache searching but remain active in our cache management and maintenance.
I sincerely thank all CO's and wish you all the best in your endeavours. Cheers Reg

Out riding to find a few geixaches with the girls. Found but log soaking wet so couldn't sign and we didn't have a spare.
Due to not being able to enter NSW to maintain this cache I’ll disable until I can
Due to the threat of Coronavirus and the fact this has been found within the period that the virus has been found I've made the decision to disable until further notice.

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###
----------
Whilst the 'Needs Maintenance' log of Sep/24/2019 is not relevant, I notice from a more recent log entry that **this cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.**
Therefore, I am temporarily disabling it 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.
Prompt attention by cache owners to any log that indicates anything could be amiss is greatly appreciated by all seekers. The guideline advises; ***"if you can't check/fix it straight away then Disable it till you can."*** see here: [Owner is responsible for visits to the physical location,](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance ) and here's how; [Temporarily Disable and Enable,](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235) also check out this Blog: [Helpful Tips To Keep In Mind As A Geocache Owner.](http://www.geocaching.com/blog/2015/03/you-hid-your-first-geocache-now-what/)
Please respond to this situation by **23rd November** to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and indicating a date when you believe the situation will be resolved.
**And don't forget,** once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; [Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [Temporarily Disable and Enable](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

I was hobbling my way along tonight despite the dodgy knee, and this was number two on my nightly stroll.
I rolled into GZ to have it relatively muggle free as they were all off throwing sticks for there dogs, who dutifully ran around with said stick and socialised with all the other dogs while their owners futilely called for them to come back......
Anyway, I went about my business and found the cache in the first place I looked and signed my life away on the very damp log sheet.
The cache was quite wet inside and the log sheet is very damp, but still able to be carefully written on, due to the lid being cracked and letting the weather in, it might need a bit of TLC.
Cheers

Found. I had tried to find this one once before but the area was muggle central and I couldn't have a good look. Today after a rainy morning it was quiet and I was able to make the find. The log is pretty wet but I managed to sign. TFTC
Thank you! This is the first one I’ve ever found. I left behind a little treasure but didn’t take any
Found by the mini geocacher, our gps was out by about 5m. TFTC and TB, we will move it along.
Almost tricky but closer to the steel silver than I expected. Left TB. Tftc in this park.
I'm visiting Albury for work but today I had quite a lot of spare time so I headed off to find a few caches. Found the cache as per the hint. TFTC, Biggles.
Nice little walk to find cache, the paper was a little damp to write on however. Found this cache with catnap777
Tftc.. We are on a month long road trip from the gold Coast to Adelaid and everywhere in between. Loosing our marbles one at a time as we stop at plenty of caches along the way

I need to have a look at this one so I might wait for the Easter Holidays and get this back up and running.
We found where it should be, but it was too hot and too many creepy crawlies for us out of towners. Maybe next time!

Back out this way today, so an opportunity to go for a quick walk and find this one. On approach thought that it may have had been muggled with the reminants of a broken container, scattered about but please to make the find. The container did have a cracked lid but seems ok.
Thanks lillieb05 for placing the cache for us to find.
