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 or an indication as to when this might take place

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.

###**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.

Victoria Day 7: Great Ocean Road from Apollo Bay to Port Campbell and Peterborough

Today’s marks Day 2 of the Great Ocean Road journey, where we headed west from Port Apollo to Port Campbell to see all the geological tourist attractions that the Road has to offer. Plenty of fun ECs to attempt, which helped guide the attractions we visited, plus a few physicals to help break the journey up too. The weather was great all through, and we caught a majestic sunset at the Bay of Islands to cap the day.

This is the specific log for this cache:
I read of the many tales of shipwrecks along this majestic coast, and can’t help but reflect on the tragic beauty of the Shipwreck Coast. Lovely little spot to visit after going to the Shops for some groceries. This took longer than expected but the view made it all worth it. TFTC!

On a road trip from Melbourne to Adelaide with Lady membsec, wombles and 1MinnieMoo.
Day 3!

An interesting place with a good view. We made sure to use stealth here so the muggle sitting in his car didn’t know what we were up to.

Thanks for the cache Marly8120 Big Grin

Heading through here on our Great Ocean Road journey, and we had to stop in. It was quite peaceful here this morning, and avoiding suspicion from the tradie parked here we managed to make a quick grab of the cache.
Log signed as QQ for all of us (NyssaFlutterby, wombles and co, membsec and I).
Thanks for the cache Marly8120.

Found on our QQ GOR road trip with 1minniemoo nyssaflutterby and Mrs Membsec. Logs signed with QQ to save time and space.

A nice quick find here in the peaceful morning.

We are on a road trip from Melbourne to Adelaide on the Great Ocean Road (GOR). Membsec from Tassie, Nyssaflutterby, 1MinnieMoo and Wombles and Co all from Queensland. We met at the airport, late due to Jetstar’s strike (4 hours delayed for the Queenslanders) and then hit the road. We have a good selection of caches that we really want to get, so many in a short amount of time.

Day3

We did a little backtracking this morning as we ran out of time yesterday and the title sounded interesting on this one. We took in the great views and easily spotted the container, I do like these, but had to wait for the muggle sitting in the car to look away before any attempts were made to retrieve it.

We’re on the road to adventure. A three day Light to Light hike, then some exploring in the Dandenongs before tackling the Great Ocean Walk, 105km over 8 days. Magic.
Geohubby found this one. Unfortunately he was approached by a Council worker wondering what he was up to as he waited for the big bike event to come through. Geohubby gave him a lesson in what geocaching is. The guy seemed interested and happy to leave it be. Hope that is still the case. Sorry if it was given away.

Today we went on a part of the Great Ocean Road. On the way we found some caches. Thank you for the caches.

I’ve been wanting to come to Peterborough for ages, every time we think of it or it suits us usually peak tourist time so we give it a miss.
Anyway we decided to come for geo Mums birthday 18/11, we booked months and months in advance only to be all really unwell with a cold that lingered for weeks and weeks, luckily the caravan park let us postpone our booking.
Anyway here we are, a lovely November weekend and not too busy.
This was one of the caches we found in a great location.

We were for 5 weeks in Australia for our vacation.
Starting point is Melbourne and then more to the north via Sydney to Brisbane. Ofcourse is this not the exact route, because we visited many places in these 5 weeks.

Sometimes we did a geocache and also this one.
We have seen many fantastic places on our route.

South-West, thanks for this geocache.

Greetings from Nieuwkoop, The Netherlands

gatta nera and Hai Happen married! and what comes after a marriage? ok, her name is still gatta nera and not yet gatta Happen, but would be quit interesting Very Happy

so, next is honeymoon Smile

so, the decision was made, it should go to Australia, with a 12 hour stop over in Singapore to check out the bay area.

This day was the day of the Great Ocean Road - we started early in the morning in Warrnambool and headed south and east to our destination of the day in Apollo Bay.
We visited nearly every famous location on the way and solved a number of earth caches in a day, like never before.
Luckily, we seam to travel completely out of season, only at the famous twelve it had quite a few people, we do not want to know, how this is in peak season...

some of the caches were quite easy, others quite complicated... as it's not that easy to describe something geological in something else than your normal language... and this is not English in our case Wink

Hai Happen and I spent this day following the Great Ocean Road from Warrnambool to Apollo Bay. As we planned to stop in plenty of points with great views, we started early in the morning. This was one of the caches we visited. We could find it without problems and also enjoyed the view here.

Thank you for bringing us here and for the cache!
