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.

Hi valleycaching,

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed, as well as to remove it from search listings.

Please note that CO's of caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't always just pop out and fix the issue. Caches where the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain will not be archived.

#What should you do:-#
- Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so.

- **Alternatively,** what you need to do is place a Write Note log indicating a date when you you expect you might be able to attend to the issue/s.

#Please Note#
When I next check on the cache, if there is no acknowledgment from the CO as requested above, the cache will most likely be de-listed (Archived).

Found the area, nothing in sight

Found the location, but no cache in sight.

Found where it should probably be but it’s not in sight

Found the possible spot thanks to hints and name of cache but the cache is missing

Not sure where this has been returned to but i cant find it. Tftc

Found with sixy2sue. Cache was found on the ground. Owner messaged.

Found but not sure it was where it should be.. Have messaged owner.

Really?

I can’t believe how long this one took me, given the great co ords, the name of the cache AND the hint. I literally had my hand millimeters away from it. Finally I returned, felt around again and BANG, there it was!

Another beautiful day for a walk. Good opportunity to finish the series. 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

Perfectly named

Tftc

Great find and great name for it

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

Nice easy find, despite the camo... TFTC

*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...

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.

Another easy find. TFTC

*22 Sep 2018, Found @ 4:46 pm, Find # 8349.*

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, 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.**

Sorry I am logging a bit late here I realised only this week as we went out to continue.
I was out with the Scouts on the 21st August for a night caching we found 6 caches in the dark on this evening.
Thanks for the cache trail.

Tftc easy find

Quick find TFTC cache in good condition

Found left surprise...

**# 20400** 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..

A nice day for a ride along the trail to finish what i started nearly a year ago

A few DNFs along the way due to muggle activity but all in all a great ride along a trail full of some great caches

Thanks for the hide

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.

Out for a maintenance run today. All good here. The camo on the container is a bit worn so replaced it with a new one.
A new waterproof log is in place.
Happy hunting.

Continuing along this awesome trail, appreciating the variety and effort that has gone into creating and maintaining. Tfts Haha only knew one song so lucky it was the right one, excellent camo Tftc

Tftc

Great hide, good clue in the name. Tftc

*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!*

Thanks valleycaching for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Great geocache container

Clever description

Found with emilyd5. Easy find. Name was spot on

Love the camo

frmen1 and I ran away from home for the weekend with the view to target this road and surrounds. We walked the 14kms (there and back), taking adequate water and food supplies with us. A great day for it. Loving these super quick finds. A bit of the cammo has come off, but it still blends in well. TFTC

Found with tassieexpat while exploring this interesting area. TFTC

Quick easy find tftc

Good camo. TFTC

We are on our regular Wednesday geocaching trip & today we are attempting to walk the TST both ways discovering all the caches on the way. Thanks to the CO's for setting up this well maintained trail.
We have given a Favourite listing to both the first & last caches in recognition of the trail as well as the odd worthy cache.

As I approached I wondered what the title could be referring to, and then as I arrived it all made sense. A clever hint and a well decorated container here.
Thanks to valleycaching for placing this cache.

I rolled up to GZ on the bike.
The cache name and clue were taken note of

Soooo ... I am looking for a three legged Eclipse tin

Found it !!
Though maybe me first thoughts were a bit off

TFTC.

Cool

Found it great camouflage
BEWARE OF THE BULLANTS

Found it and got stung by a ant

us two young geokids could not locate this cache we dont know the song either.

One of our targets for this trip was to attempt the Traralgon South Trail . Despite adverse weather at times, we were able to walk the trail and found the majority of the caches.

The cache name and accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks valleycaching for the cache and series.

Found it!!! Knew the song strait away!
Thank you

Great camo

Camp
Geo dad couldn't stop barking about it.

Tricky one! Nice camo! Tftc

Tftc! Didn't sign log, was a bit bug infested

??

Best one yet.

A quick find. TFTC

Nice easy find said hello to the friendly horse in the paddock watch out for the electric fence though TFTC

Good hide for this bugger

Wow that was a tuff one
This took some time to find
Tftc

While visiting Traralgon today to attend a BBQ event we picked up some local caches as well in the company of Alansee. We must be getting better at the hides as we found this one quickly.
TFTC

Found with The Tritonz. Another one quickly found. We were on a bit of a roll here.

Good bit of camp on this one rather than the usual black paint. Tftc

Well, we definitely made this one harder than it should have been. Having not made the connection between the cache's title and the obvious part of the surroundings, we searched aimlessly and fruitlessly around before finally making the connection. We loved the camouflage of the cache container, very nifty. Many thanks for the cache

Love the camoflage

Found on the way back........We came to a conclusion on where it was and really thought this could have been muggled....all the while it was just a sneaky one....I have brought my halfblood sister for a walk on this wonderdul trail to complete more of the series. Tyftc.

Love the camoTFTC &

Great clue and hide

Enjoyed this one it was great to see something so normal made not so normal anymore with geodude#74

Nice quick find with Lilmissgeo. Clever camo on this one! TFTC!

Still as"snug as a bug in a rug".

Went with mum tftc

Very clever camouflage! Loved this one!

Found it

Great series, tftc

Trying to get away from our respective jobs around the house, Slink1 and I decided to venture down to Traralgon to have a crack at this series of caches. Many thanks to valleycaching for putting this series out. We had a pleasant afternoon doing these caches. TNLN SL

Needing a break from the demands of the seemingly relentless 25Hrs days / 8 Day weeks,
a caching time out was defiantly needed to break the grind..[B)] Traralgon South Trail (TST)series
was identified as the main group, Today we enjoyed all the caches in the group we visited.
Interesting and varied made for a fun day out in the mild weather.
Many thanks to valleycaching for the time an effort in placing the hides. TNLN TFTC SL

Nice Cache a great day out with SQAU

To achieve my personal goal of hitting 500 caches before the Melbourne Mega Event in November I employed fellow cacher (gwd.aussie) to undertake the numerous caches along the rail trail.

Took us a bit longer than it should have but we still got the find.

Thanks valleycaching.
