This cache is carrying a maintenance log which needs to be addressed by the cache owner.

The guidelines advise that the CO should make regular visits to check on the cache as well as promptly address any logs that indicate that the cache requires some attention. You need to disable the cache if you cannot attend to it promptly - I have disabled it this time.

**Please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) by 29th January, otherwise it will be necessary to withdraw the cache from the Active listing.** The [Geocache Maintenance guideline](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

**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.

Found this one while out caching with locus cache. I was questioned by some dog walkers while out walking their muggle pooch but managed to avert the questions. I think this cache may have lost its container and just be a plastic bag so it may be worth an owner check on this one. Log was signed and we continued our adventure.

Thanks for the cache.

I am visiting Melbourne from Perth with the Family for Xmas. Many plans have been made about which caches to find. Hopefully those plans can be put into action.

We were visiting Bendigo to spend Xmas day with family. After a marvellous lunch, semi-muggle brother in law asks me if there is a cache nearby. Of course there was, and off we went for a short caching run.

Like other finders, we only found a plastic bag containing a log and a few swaps. Greetings from WA


geoboiz - I was out and about today and found your cache Swap Central at 14:37:38 on 25 Dec 2017. This find brings my cache count to 2498.

Thank you for placing this cache and contributing to this great game. The log was signed and cache replaced.

Found on 2/1/17..... when we came to this one we exclaimed that we had been here before.. sure as eggs.
We obviously forgot to log it then!
We both remembered it was just in a snap lock bag.. and to our surprise... surviving!

Find # 4727
Found with sharkiefan.

A quick find while keeping an eye out on the muggles across the road. was surprised to see it was just a bag with swag and log.

TFTC geoboiz

Found with FUF009 while caching in the area. No container just a bag. Probably should pop it in a sistema or something, we didn't have one with us or we would have done it for you. Will pop a needs maintenance on it. Cache otherwise all good. Tftc

Cache is just in a bag. Pretty sure someone has stolen the container.

Found it

Cute easy find!

Thanks!

**# 20098** Found on the Vic leg of our 2017 escape trip.
A perfect warm Spring day for a drive around in Bendigo again.
Hardly any muggles around today, and many good quick finds.
Thanks for the cache geoboiz,
***Roostaman***

Thank you, found it with heymissjo!

Quick search. Thankfully no snakes. TFTC.

Nice find as sun goes down

After extensive searching around GZ finely uncovered the cache. Swapped a Xmas stamp with a ribbon. TFTC.

On a 3 day geocaching weekend with the fiancée & the geo-dog in the caravan, day 1 we made 18 finds. The RSL at Bendigo served up a fantastic feed and after a warm nights sleep we were keen to make a good day of it. Today we tallied 26, with 2 DNF'S.

TFTC a quick find along our journey.

Nice easy catch for kids

Quick easy one with the kids

Good little find!

Great job wombats

Found it pretty easy

Found it easy

Not hidden well

Easy find

Nice quick easy find on my way home from uni

Easy find

Found today. Swaps made.

Found ...cache would be better off in a plastic container! TFTC

Found at 1512 with BrianP.

Headed over the border with Purrfect Di, Sebastbat, Jack and muggle Alex.
Found and signed. A bit disappointing the cache was just a plastic bag, with log,
and a torn bag too. We replaced the zip lock with a nice new one, and carefully put back in its place.
But CO may wish to maintain sometime soon
TFTC geoboiz

All the bits and log are in a plastic bag that has a few holes in it. May need a proper container before the real eat weather. Tftc

Oops forgot to log this one. TFTC

Kate, Tobias and Jobe

Suscoe enjoyed a terrific day wandering the streets of Bendigo.
It was a perfect day for Autumn, loads of sun, a gentle breeze at times and those deciduous trees with lots of colour.
We enjoyed a range of finds from street hides, wanders in the bush and around some water.
We saw a few roos and a deer just walking slowly across a road.
We do like Bendigo and we always enjoy a visit to this delightful and historic city.

Thanks to geobiz for this hide.
very quiet here today.

Found it. Lots of little goodies in the hide.
Couple of holes in the bag now, didn't have one with me to replace. Log is damp, but can still write in it.

An easy find early in the morning. Cache needs a proper container as bag has holes in it TFTC geo boiz

Great location!
But maybe you might want to replace the bag...

In Bendigo for the day thought I would grab a few caches whilst here, a nice easy find.

Container a bit flimsy but perfectly dry. The bark of that trees here look thick and tough enough for firewood! TFTC

tftc

Foind it... sujest a new bag due to rain got in

Ooops !!
Late Sunday morning is not a good time to go looking for this cache outside the church

With muggles a plenty appearing out of the 'shed',
I poked around for the cache anyway
I figured the muggles would still have their heads in the heavens,
and not notice me

Me theory worked

TFTC..

Found

Found by The Empire @ 4pmish
After the '9 Months to the event in Alexandra event' in Wedderburn today, there was time to head into Bendigo before heading home. Needs a container! A little hole in the plastic bag this is will be a mess. A quick traditional cache blitz in suburban Bendigo. Thanks for the cache geoboiz.
- M

I found the 'bag in the bush' but without a solid container it may not stand the test of time.
A nice location up here though
Thanks geoboiz

Out & about with CPwanderer on a humid day.
We had travelled down for the week-end to cache around Bendigo.
Bit disappointing to find a bag in the bush which could be judged as rubbish.
Thanks for hide geoboiz

Found the cache bag with log and swaps but no solid container. Thanks geoboiz for the hide!!

Stopped to log this find while exploring Bendigo today. It was a hot day but the wind made things manageable. Thanks for your contribution to my great afternoon.

The geofamily are off on another trip to Mexico. Fun, sore backsides (for some) and Dad getting the geomobile stuck and breaking his bike, TWICE were the highlights of the trip. One of the running jokes for the trip was 'If it's 2.5T it's laying on the ground, if it's 2.5D it's under that pile of rocks or in the open, if it's listed as large we are looking for an eclipse tin' which came about due to a number of early finds. The lasting memory from this trip will be the grass seeds!!!

Geodad is driving around in circles again, it's anybodies guess where we'll stop next. This was one of the many stops in Bendigo.

Thanks for the cache geoboiz.

Geofamily trip to Victoria... Cool!
Mrs Moneydork, Moneydork, sushilord and I left Friday morning for a 4 day jaunt over the border to find a cache or two
Two nights in Wangaratta and then a night in Bendigo left me with 10 DNFs and 205 cache finds one of which was a FTF
Day 4 was travelling from Bendigo to Berri then home and with 2 DNFs and 21 finds, it was another good day

We only found a plastic bag with a log here, no container

TNLN. SL. TFTC geoboiz

The cache container is missing

Love all the swappables especially the bubbles, lots of fun!

Another good find while exploring the area.
*Thanks for making my drive / walk fun!*

Find No. 1523. Found at 4.43pm

In Bendigo for a casual day of looking around, doing some shopping and also to spend a bit of time caching. While travelling around we came across this one nearby so decided to stop to see what we could find. Located this one and signed the log quickly as you too have mozzies over here like we do at home.

Discovered the two trackables in the cache but did not take them.

TFTC

Sent mr Harrowang to search in the dark for this one. Bonus - he brought back two TB's which we will take back to NE Victoria with us at the end of the long weekend. SL at 8.45pm #4110 TFTC geoboiz

Good one thank you!

TFTC, nice hide, we found it with the boydies

TFC, log book is wet, so it's hard to write in it. Maybe a suggestion is to put it into a container. Left a trackable took nothing. Visited in the way to the Elmore show where I'm working the next couple of days.

Nice place

With a name like "swap central" we couldn't resist this one!

No outer container, just a bag. Not sure if that is intentional or not!

Nice easy one for the youngins

Found the cache, a zip lock bag, as it was getting dark. No TB inside.

Found with Bri_poi while nightcaching in Bendigo. Found the log and swaps safe in a ziplock bag but no outer container
Thanks

Out that way looking at splash backs, TFTC

Thanks for bringing us here a lovely area great view. TFTC. LS.

Swap central indeed!

Day 3: One of many stops whilst on a road trip back to Adelaide from Heathcote, Victoria. The aim of the trip was to complete the Dad's Mt. Disappointment Driving Lessons power trail (TICK [^] ), reach my 1000th caching milestone with buddies (TICK [^] ), and attend a couple of events across the border ( TICK [^]) . It was an early start and a long drive but we ate awesome food, drank amazing wine, engaged in scintillating conversations - and there was plenty of laughter and lots of fun!!

PLEASE NOTE: given the size of our group and our time constraints, in some logs we just put our caching initials (eg. GL).

Thanks for the cache

Found on a 3 days tour of Victoria.

The team had a great time finding all but 5 of the caches we attempted.

A great time was had by us and thanks to all who placed caches/

Apologies for the generic logs.


TFTC

After a day on dads Mt Difficult driving tour it was time to turn the car around and head back to SA.
Caching along the way , naturally.
This was one of our finds as we headed for home.
Cheers and TFTC geoboiz

Interesting location. Interesting cache.

This cache was found using a Garmin GPSr, Montana 650t, Oregon 550 or Dakota 20. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

Found it, somethings leaking in the bag though

Last find of the day, enroute to home from Echuca and the ANZAC weekend events. Log, minus container, was quickly spotted, signed and replaced. Not a bad view from up here I discovered as I walked back to the car. Thanks to geoboiz for the cache, no swaps made today, just signing the log.

Found very quick and good spot.

Quick find. The container has gone walk about and its just a bag do you might want to do a maintenance visit. TFTC

Container has gone missing.

easy find on a visit to Bendigo. tftc.

Found it

That's quite a bag of goodies!. TFTC

Found today after an event for leap day was sad to see that someone has trashed the cacahe couldnt find the container but found log book and some swaps so picked it all up and hid

Good camo and cache placement. Didn't have anything to swap so left treasure for others to swap. Quite a few cars parked nearby and could hear music and singing from across the road. Tftc

Awesome hiding stop

Left an eye and took the red army man. Great find

Catching up on a few late logs (something not that unusual for me). As always, I enjoyed the journey to find the cache, mostly I have been in the company of Team Crackers, maccamob, alansee and the Coffee's, but occasionally I have gone out solo to soak in the solitude of being out in the fresh air.

Thanks geoboiz for placing this cache.

TFTC

An amazing idea tftc

Cool camo!! I haven't seen 1 like this before. Tftc

A well thought up camo. Tftc

#2 for the day. I really like the camo! Thanks for the cache.

Yes TG 3rd for the day TFTC

Soon had cache in hand - great spot! Think a fellow territorian may have logged before us!
# 2623 Thanks geoboiz
