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.

Hi there DudleyDaDog,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **MAY** need some attention. You would have received an automated email from Geocaching HQ recently which explained what needs to be done.

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) .

**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.

Needs a check.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

So many bugs, can I have another hint plz

Werribee. Land of DNFs, micro and suburban hides.

Had a pretty thorough look, no luck

Tried but couldn't. Nice river tho

We looked high and low but sadly DNF

Looked around for a good 15 min but didn’t seem to find it, might look again harder next time.

Couldn’t find it. Think owner needs to check it hasn’t been stolen

Couldn’t find it after an hour looking. Must be stollen.

Really nifty idea! Such a cool cache!

Hi there DudleyDaDog.

We started the day with "Eagle Rock", and then started to cache around the Werribee area, using a "next closest" methodology before heading off to Melton to catch up with a few 'cachers at the "Intervening Days X" event..

All up we found 9 caches & DNF'd 3 in this cache run. Thanks for placing the caches. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places while we meander around Australia.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache around 3m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Nothing.

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Be careful at night, lot of creepy crawleys, be careful where you stick your hands, left within 5 minutes but found the OUI

Good hide

Quick easy find TFTC

Found it TFTC

Got to GZ and started searching one thing. After a short while I started searching another and there it was.

Great spot. Tftc

Nice spot for a cache. TFTC

Found. A quick stop after an Xmas BBQ. Lovely spot. Thanks.

Lucky hubby took French classes at school he said. Quick find in a lovely shady spot! Thankyou for bringing back many positive memories of canoes along the river collecting blackberries with my grandfather many moons ago!! Tftc.

After 2 DNFs it was good to get another smiley. It made me smile when I saw the cache. TFTC

Awesome! First one for us... lots of fun

Quick find this morning on a ride along the river. Always liked this spot! Thanks for the cache

Found it. Easy find, thanks for the cache.

Found on a brisk overcast wintery morning. Still plenty of dogs out for walks though. TFTC
Replaced log.

What a good spot!
Took us a minute to click on hahaha

NEEDS MAINTAINCE
We found where it would have been with the clue but bag was not there. Recommend a checkup.

Was expecting a container

Found the hint but not the cache

we.found the hint on the floor but the cache was nowhere in sight

Nice quick find tftc

Out caching with Simsfamily from Weeribee to Truganina and everywhere in between with the usual encouraging banter.
Thankfully we had the place to ourselves to be able to make a quick find.
Log signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for the cache DudleyDaDog

With not being all that well of late and only just getting back on my feet I was very grateful for Ausfox; getting me out and about for a day of predominantly park and grabs with a few short walks thrown in. I will need to build up to our more adventurous outing again hopefully soon.

After a couple of navigation issues we were able to make our way to GZ and make the quick find.

Thank ou DudleyDaDog for another smiley

*Out and about grabbing a cache to keep my streak alive*...

Another one crossed off in this series. Good to be back from my 4+ months away and time to clean up some of the many new caches (and one or two older ones).

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment DudleyDaDog. Appreciate your effort.
Greetings from Victoria.

Cache-On!

Nice hind

This ones been on the radar for a while. Spot on co-ords so nice quick find. Seen a couple like this before.
TFTC

Nice little park, the river looks much better now.

Find number 6103 at 3:24:33 pm
Out and about after attending a nearby lead-up event to The Alexandra Event 2017, great to grab some local caches before I need to head home.
Bumped into Bushfire again here and it was good to sit at the table and soak up the sun whilst having a good old chat. A pleasure for me...
Nice hide as well
**Thanks for placing this cache DudleyDaDog**

After a wonderful trip to Prague, Budapest, Vienna, through Germany and ending up at Amsterdam for a few days which included a trip to Burgge in Belgium and then the long trip home.
After adding a few more countries to my growing list of countries cached in it was back to reality so today a short trip to Werribee to grab a few caches and also the Event put on by the people planning the next Mega Event which will be held in November in Alexandra later this year in November.
Drove along the river and parked close by and the cache was soon found,signed and then BernieH appeared out of the blue again.
We sat and chatted for some time and then it was time to add some more numbers to our growing list.

Nice find while in the area.
Fairly quick and easy, fun cache.

Great hiding spot!

I was out west with Biggles Bear today with the aim of starting at Cobbledick Ford and ending up with four of the legends caches. However, we did start off with a few along the way before our chosen start point. Biggles Bear #1 had found this one previously, but not #2. And it was #2 that came up with a very quick find.

My thanks to DudleyDaDog for the cache.

There weren't enough seats in the car for the whole family, so I volunteered to use public transport to get to our nephew's birthday party. This serendipitously involved a walk along the Werribee River.

Thanks, DudleyDaDog... Deadly (Dudley?) accurate coordinates meant a nice quick find.

What a lovely spot this is.
I had to wait until a bike rider had moved on from her rest and I then watched two guys launch kayaks into the river for a paddle.
A tranquil spot
Lucky I know my french!

Simple find!

Love these kinds of hides, kinda sneaky but in plain sight. Visited a trackable also. Tftc!

Easy find thanks. Clever hiding spot. Thanks

Clever

A clever little find!

Found with Wombatwandering but I'm too lazy to log anything. This may have been written by Geomum.

Easy find

We found both caches. One cache was soaking wet and starting to mildew. The other was in a tattered bag. We've taken the liberty of combining the two since only one person had signed the wet log (we transferred the log entry). We replaced the ripped bag on the other log. Maybe the CO can have a check to make sure things are where they should be?

Lame

This was an interesting find. As soon as I saw it I knew what it was as i've seen a similar one in Portland. What threw me was that after I signed a new log sheet and returned it, I began to walk away and found another log on the ground inside a plastic pocket. I'm not sure if it was meant to be with the one that I signed, so I put it under the correct one, but not directly. This should make sense to the CO. TFTC

Found it! Needs to be replaced soon. Sneaky spot!

Found by geokid#2 after I reluctantly crossed the river at the foot of the dam after the family decided to cross even though I strongly protested! Well it was an adventure that enabled us to get this cache! But we all have wet cold feet. What an adventure as geocaching should be!

Great place to be brought to thankyou

Nice and cheeky, looks like it may not last much longer and had no spares on me needs work

Found it. Probably the smallest cache i've seen so far tftc

Thanks for the cache, DudleyDaDog. Found at 6:10 pm tonight. I thought it would be completely dark here but there was enough street lighting to find my way. Nevertheless, a geotorch is recommended after dark. There is indeed a new log with only a few entries in it, but its small plastic bag with the small square magnet attached is split and I wouldn't like to say how long it will last. Maintenance please. What I'm about to type might sound unkind but I don't mean it to sound unkind. While the cache is a clever minimilistic design I think it fails because it's just not sturdy enough to protect it from the weather. Just sayin'. SL. TN. LN.

Tftc but needs maintenance

Not sure if it was it or not but i went looking for it this afternoon and only found a small zip lock back with a magnetic strip on it like in the pic but it was empty

So having to find a cache to fill a day on my 366 calendar, I thought a wander out this way to explore the park after an early finish at work was in order. A few people around, but was easy enough to spot a likely spot for a cache...just not in the first obvious spot. Soon enough something didn't look quite right, and sneaky wee cache was found. TFTC

Found 10/5/16 thank you!

log book replaced
Good to go.

No more room on log but still an easy find TFTC

Needs to new log book

Nice spot

Looked for a while to find this one, more than what it should have.
Spotted something that made the hint make sense.
TFTC!!!

Logbook is full and needs changing.

Oui was on the ground placed it back where I thought it was nice find!!! TFTC!

Tiny but thanks. Needs new log. We added a temporary one

After trying to find Eagle rock yet again.with no luck yet again.we went after caches we know we can find. Tftc.

Glad I knew my French! Thanks for a nice place to visit... TFTC

So brisal5 came for a visit.... time to go caching... Brought my brother, niece and nephew along for the roadtrip too.
Luckily I brought my brother, who is not a geocacher, and therefore is not distracted by where our GPSr was taking us
Thanks

Road trip. Got together with mogni, her bro and his kids (DAP) for a quick trip over the border to Werribee for an attempt at the infamous Eagle Rock cache. We spent 2 1/2 hours all up at Eagle Rock for a DNF. So of course we just had to do a few others as well.
While most of us concentrated in the completely wrong area D from DAP wander a short distance off for a quick find. Thanks DudleyDaDog.

Come back for second trip and found it good hide

Can someone give me a clue I looked for 20mins and I was clueless

Very clever cache, loved it! My muggle friends and I only had a highlighter on us and the log was very wet so you probably can't even read the highlighter, my apologies. Thanks DudleyDaDog

Tftc found with out any trouble. But the log book was a little wet.

Found it

What a clever find. Didnt have a pen so just took a photo instead

Out for a bike ride on a nice day. Nice hide. T4TC

Spare afternoon. Grabbed the bike and headed out. Neat hide. TFTC DudleyDaDog

Very high muggle area.

Came back for a second try. Found it so fast i felt silly.

Thanks for the cache

Our passion for caching took us away from the hubbub of Christmas commercialism, into the wilds of Wyndham Vale and Tarneit! Leaving Jordan's behind we rode on through a group of wild swimmers, to the riverbend. What we sought was soon in view, our name in the log and it was back to the geo-vehicle.

Our thanks to DudleyDaDog for bringing us to this location.

Looked around quite a bit but wasnt able to find it. In hindsight we were probably looking at it wrong.

Will likely try again soon
