Hi there Cache Owner,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **possibly** needs some attention. You may recall having received an automated email from Geocaching HQ which explained what you needed to do.

Unfortunately, nothing seems to have happened, so the cache is being temporarily disable - see here: [**Geocache Health Score.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713)

**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 you need to do:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache** - once checked, place an Owner Maintenance log and then enable the cache.

- **Place A Write Note Log** - indicating a date when you expect it will be restored.

- **Adopt Out or Archive** - depending on whether you want it kept or for it to disappear.

Full details for each of the above choices can be found at [**GEOCACHE MAINTENANCE**]( https://wiki.groundspeak.com/display/GEO/Victoria) on the Regional Policies page.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of the above. Well, when the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned. [xx(]

It would be far better if you decide, so please do something before then. Please don't send an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

Could not find it

With Chazzanz

Grass has grown over sticks and logs making it a bit unsafe so we didn’t stay for long

Couldn't find it

Found

Plastic bag cactus but dry as a chip. Overthought this one too same as last geocacher to log

So today I had to take our camper trailer to Traralgon to get bike racks fitted before our trip away. A trip somewhere different equals geocache search in the area and discovered several options but chose the Traralgon South Trail. Off I went on my bike "Olive" who is a gravel bike and coped well with this track bar the last couple of geocaches in this series so we just walked a little. Great track and a comfortable distance. However couldn't believe how busy this road is - made it difficult at times to pick a free moment to retrieve and return cache. Loved the variation of caches and the joy of cruising on my bike. Thanks for setting up a really enjoyable geocaching experience valleycaching. I really enjoyed my afternoon

Took us a few minutes…. Overthinking this one!
Not in the native cherry tree at all!
BUT very close to it. Less trickier than you think!

Nice easy find

Tag teaming this trail today.
Glorious day for it.

Lol I'm not sure about this hint but it was almost a picnic..as it didn't take too long to discover. I was really enjoying this walk..lots of nature not to much road noise.

Quick easy find.
TFTC

Find 440.
Im excited to be in the area. Extremely stoked to be doing the series. On a mission today to see how I can go.
This is a great cache well hiden
Tftc

I don’t understand the hint. Got our hands dirty for this. Took some time here. Tftc

Definitely not a cherry ripe! Tftc

All good apart from a little 'cache creep'.
Replaced where it should be.

Have been tied up since getting home. Will perform maintenance soon.

Disabling until we can check on this after the recent storms and floods.
Currently travelling so will perform maintenance in October when we arrive home.

Found it with margaretforr1987

2nd time lucky with this one had the geokid in tow last time and with it being dusk the mosquitoes were out, ziplock needs replacing.

no luck today.

big dead tree.

Cool cache

Last one today, will be again. TFTC

Found and signed!

No, no it isn't! I had my eyes peeled for a variation of the hint, perhaps a Picnic? Kit Kat? Nope. Just a plastic tub Happy to sign and move on. Tftc!

The Sun had come out and living in Baw Baw shire we were not locked down so I decided to head out for a day out of the house and a nice walk along the TCT trail, Gippsland has some great locations to visit and lots of caches that have not been found in awhile, so with my new caching gear gloves, sanitizer and mask I ventured out, I had a great time touring around the area finding caches and exploring new places. Ok this took longer than it should but I eventually found it under the long grass. I am going to call a spade a spade here and say that is the most useless hint I have seen in fifteen years of caching, Why not just put BOT.

Thanks valleycaching for the cache.

Can't find? Looked in and under everything I could

I didn’t know why the name was relevant? TFTC

Got my hands dirty for this!!

Found. Lovely day for a walk.

Lovely breezy day for walk with geokids

Found it nicely before heading to muggles friend's place nearby.
TFTC

Easily visible just took us some time to find coz we’re dumb xD

Found was harder then I thougjt

Easy find, TFTC, found with shez44

Quick find in good condition. Beautiful land around here. Tftc

Loving this trail of hike walking GROdog

TFTC. The ants are liking this area.

Got the family up at 5.30 this morning to head out to Traralgon to do the Parkrun, Parkrun event, some breaky and some local cache. The weather was terrible today, sideways rain and wind with s chill in it. Anyway after breaky I decided would brave some of this trail alone, the fam were happy to sit in the car and play tech. Told them to come find me in an hour, and off I went. Was a nice little trail, and didn’t see a sole! Deeeeer... only one idiot out there today. Thanks for the fun.

I have no idea what the hint was alluding to, but I found it after a very short hunt, regardless. Totally not a waterproof container, yet the log inside remains dry. TFTC.

Found today with Marshall’s Geelong!

Marshall’s Geelong found this cache today with LCASS on our Gippsland adventure,
This one was a bit exposed. Rehidden better.

Thanks for the opportunity to collect so many smiles and have a pleasant walk. The road was very busy on this Easter Monday. TFTC

Good spot

I was looking in the wrong spot to start

On the way to Tarra- Bulga NP
TFTC

Passing by on the way to Tarra-Bulga and couldn't resist grabbing a few of the series, most were quick easy finds and a couple took a short search to find

TFTC

Oh happy days

Tftc

Great find thank you

Camped at Gormandale after returning from Tasmania. Out for a few caches today. Seventh for the day, quick find, cache and contents all good, good coordinates. Took nothing, left nothing. TFTC

Not too sure about the clue, and I was reluctant to go scrambling around where the map was indicating (especially at the height of summer). Luckily the container was relatively easy to get to, and I was able to steer clear of all the little Jewel spiders. TFTC

We had not intended to do any of this trail today as our plans revolved around the Strzelecki State Forest, but we found ourselves close by and decided to give a few of them a try. SL TFTC

Abit too much of a warm day to poke around. We will come back another day

Watch out for bull ants!

Bull ants everywhere. Be careful.

*Found with The Empire*

Out and about exploring the area.

We decided to grab this series en route to home, some taking longer than others but all found in the end. Enjoyed a few nice walks along the trail.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache and series for our enjoyment valleycaching. Appreciate your efforts.

Stamped and returned as found...

**Took**: *Nothing*
**Left**: *Nothing*

Cache-On!

Found by The Empire and Snap Happy
After exploring some towns along the South Gippsland Highway, we turned north toward Traralgon and decided to pick up the caches in this series before heading home. Some took longer than others but all caches were found by mid to late afternoon after some nice walks. Thanks for the cache, and the series valleycaching.

*22 Sep 2018, Found @ 3:51 pm, Find # 8338.*

Today, I headed down the highway to Traralgon to attend the Parkville event and now that the event is over, it was time to find a few more caches while I was in the area.
I had now headed South to see if I could complete the TST trail on my bike before having to head for home.
There are some tricky hides and some straight forward ones as well and then there were a few that I just could not see at all but I didn't have my correct glasses with me for cache searching which didn't help but in the end I didn't do too bad.

**Thanks to valleycaching for placing this cache.**

Easy find TFTC

Awesome, Nana's first find!

Taking a new cache for a run... cute container.. left some surprises...

Nice day for a walk

I went out with the scouts we found 5 of 7 caches we went with the help of eight torches pretty good effort.

1st Yinnar Scouts decided to do a night caching session, so we meet at the car park with 4 Scouts, 1 Cub and leader’s syllies and Shane280, to find some caches along the trail. We looked for 7 caches with touches in the dark and found 5. Thanks for the cache trail.

The secone one not found by 8 touches.

I went out with the Scout tonight we found 5 of 7 caches we went to with the help of 8 touches pretty good effort.

no luck for this one eather, I will have a look in daylight.

Gps was bouncing around but managed to locate in the end. Cache in good condition. Tnln tftc

Tftc easy find

Another quick find - took the TB. TFTC!

**# 20390** Found on a ride along the TST while staying nearby.
Not many muggles around today and a good variety of hides again.
Thanks for the cache valleycaching,

Having an escape day and spotted this one on the map... tftc

Tftc. Having recently nabbed a cache at Rawson with an identical key attribute, this was a walk up and run. Left a pressy for the next finder.

I felt that the hint was a good clue but the cache itself was not so easy to access. Emerging with a scratch or two on my arms I blotted the blood and went on with the day’s adventures.

Thanks for the cache

TFTC

Found it!! TFTC

Our day to head out on the TST finally arrived. We organised ourselves by parking at the recommended places and then walking off in either direction to find the caches. It still meant quite a bit of backtracking and involved a lengthy walk, but it was a lovely day to be out in the area. Even saw an echidna, the biggest we have ever ween at the final cache!
We should have brought the deadly treddlies as this would have made the whole process much easier and it was a great day for a ride.
A good variety of hides and some bigger caches gave us the opportunity to drop off a number of Travel Bugs we had collected on our recent travels up north. Hope some other cachers are able to pick them up and move them on their way.
All in all a good, successful day out.
Dropped off Celtic Peacock Geocoin.

Out for a maintenance run today. All good here.
A new waterproof log is in place.
Happy hunting.

Our morning mission is to do this trail. Sadly we left the bikes at home so its a good old foot slog. Impressed with the quality and variety of hides on this trail and glad we have enough favourites to do justice to the awesome effort put in. Thanks for delivering a great morning for us. Tfts Im missing the point of the name but managed to pick up a trackable Tftc

Tftc. Left a travel bug

*Staying in Traralgon for a couple of nights, we have enjoyed riding the trails, placed so close to town. TST - a variety of caches, hidden in a range of locations, a great ride for a couple of seniors - 28/30!*
We were thinking of another kind of cherry here!

**Feedback to CO:** This cache is in need of some owner attention.While the contents of this cache are dry, water in the container indicates it may not be weatherproof.

Thanks valleycaching for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.
