This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention as there are one or more comments in regard to the accuracy of the cache co-ordinates. The cache has been temporarily disabling so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.
A basic tenet of geocaching is that listings must contain accurate GPS coordinates. At the moment it would seem that this requirement is not being met in regard to this cache, see the guideline here: [Listings must contain accurate GPS coordinates.](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#coordinates) Could you please update the listing with accurate coordinates? A how to is here: [How do I update coordinates for my geocache?](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=61)
Prompt attention by cache owners to any log that indicates anything could be amiss is greatly appreciated by all seekers. The guideline advises; ***"if you can't check/fix it straight away then Disable it till you can."*** see here: [Owner is responsible for visits to the physical location,](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance ) and here's how; [Temporarily Disable and Enable,](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235) also check out this Blog: [Helpful Tips To Keep In Mind As A Geocache Owner.](http://www.geocaching.com/blog/2015/03/you-hid-your-first-geocache-now-what/)
Please respond to this situation by **17th March** to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and indicating a date when you believe the situation will be resolved.
**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.

Storm water drainage works left this cache without a place to hide. New location found.
The area for this geocache is still barricaded off due to storm water drainage works.The geocache will be re-established once it is safe to access the area.
This cache has been disabled while stormwater drainage work is being carried out along this stretch of the road. This work has been ongoing for some time and should be finished by December. I have been checking the site regularly and will enable this site as soon as it is safe to do so.
This cache maybe a little disturbed soon as there is a bit of digging works going on. The owner may have to temporarily disable the cache due to the works. I work in the area I will keep informed of progress
After running training sessions at the Penshurst campus for the last 3 months, I figured I should find this on the last day there.

Travelling with a friend to a motorcycle event in the Barossa Valley, we did a bit of touring. Picked up some caches along the way, and this was one of them. tftc.
Found on a one month road trip around Australia. Sorry for the generic log. TNLNSL TFTC
Found on my way to a visit to Cavendish. I pulled up in the CFA carpark and followed the gps to the sign. Very creative! Log dry. TFTC.
Found by The Empire and Sully
On our way to the 8 Months to the event in Alexandra - Portland event. We spent the morning cruising the Hamilton Highway, picking up caches along the way. A quick find, nearly dropped the log into a hole on the ground! Ooops! Signed and replaced - as good as new! Hahaha! Thanks for the cache South-West.

Found with The Empire on our run to the event in Portland today. We travelled along, chasing smilies as we went. We almost "lost" the log sheet here, but quick work by TE saved it from impending doom. Here's cheers to our CFA firefighters, all over the state, they do a marvellous job. My thanks to Marly8120 for the cache.
I was just reading about this type of cache and thought what a good idea to try then. Low and behold, next cache was of the typetftc
Geelong to Portland
At 7.30 a.m this morning we didn't know where we were heading, burt after PAF we decided to head to Portland & the event. This was a few caches that we did on the way there.
Picked up a nice Path tag from this cache.

Cool cache! Left one of our SES pathtags. The log book is full so perhaps the owner or another volunteer wants to grab my pathtag and swap out the log. Thanks for bringing us here we enjoyed having a sticky beak at the facilities and finding the fun cache. Thanks from North Queensland.
#11538. Day 1 of our holiday heading towards South Australia. Today it was Melbourne to Hamilton via a lot of caching stops. Robmc was just off night shift so dozed between finds while I did the driving. A good day of some interesting hides and 26 smilies added.
We are certainly adding our names to quite a few of these today. This was a little different than the others but still a quick find and sign and on we go.
Thanks South-West

Day One of our holiday, BettyBoo3747 and I headed towards Hamilton. Straight off night shift for me meant that BB did all the driving. I did wake up for all the caches though (and lunch!)
We saw a couple of trucks roaming around today, we hope they hadn't got called out.
A friend in a NorthEast CFA unit was called out about 30 times a few weekends ago mainly for farmers slashing and starting grass fires.
Thanks, Robmc.

Found on our way home from a fantastic three day getaway in Portland.
We had spent quite some time at the brilliant Byaduk Caves, and as we left there, we realised that lunchtime was long past. So we called in at a local shop in Penshurst for a late lunch before heading out to cache around Penshurst and Mount Rouse before heading home.
This was a quick park and grab on the way out. TFTC South-West and for showing us the Penshurst Training Ground.

As it was obvious to us as to where the cache was I sent hubby in while I lined up the next cache, so pleased that I had as it was crawling with spiders. YUK. SL TFTC
While driving home from a weekend in Heywood we stopped by to place a smiley on the map here.
TFTC!!!

TFTC. We had been in Macarthur for a few days. Heading back to Anglesea we decided to target a few caches to take a break from driving. We pulled up and very quickly had cache in hand and log book signed. We were not aware of this facility. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
Another stop on the way to Mt Gambier with the fam. It was a bit wet underfoot for this single pluggers road tripper today.
Smiled and waved to the guy in the CFA 4wd.
Cheers South West.

Have seen a few of these now. Lots of traffic today so had to try and act a bit stealthy! tftc
I almost ended to call the SES here today! Or I needed a boat.....there was water everywhere. I was able to grab the cache and sign the log. Thanks South-West.
A very clever hide. And one impressive training centre. As a member of the SES one can appreciate how important these training facilities are to a community and a region. Thanks for the cache South-West
The School Holidays are here and that means a few days off geocaching.
The weather was a little wild and wooly but it keeps the muggles away.
We enjoyed the spot and the cache hide.
Very cool hide.

Well we didnt call Ghost Busters thats for sure. But we did find a nice cache here. What an awesome facility the CFA has here. Great to see that not all training facilities have gone the way of Fiskville.
TFTC!

After a number of DNF's today I had thought my caching mojo had desserted me so finding this one restored some faith .

Our current visit to Australia had been in the planning for over a year with the very significant help and advice from friends who live in Melbourne. The original plan was for a 2 month visit, but as things progressed we just couldn't help extending our trip to the full 90 days allowed on our visas - after all it's a big country and so much to see and do, especially with our favourite pastimes being birding, hiking and of course geocaching! We are currently on the first section of our journey, which started with our arrival at Perth airport followed by a day cycling around Rottnest Island before travelling on to Adelaide where we met up with our friends. We then continued on to spend some time on Kangaroo Island. We are currently on route to Melbourne via Goolwa, Strathalbyn, Coorong, Mount Gambier, Cape Bridgewater, the Grampians National Park, Port Campbell (where we are heading to at present), Cape Otway and Lorne, cramming in as much as possible on route. From Melbourne we head to Tasmania for a few days, then back to Melbourne before setting off to Sydney via Wilson’s Promontory, Lakes Entrance, Mallacoota, Pambula Beach, Thredbo, Canberra and Fitzroy Falls. After a visit to Sydney we will travel on to the Gold Coast, then after spending a few days in the nearby mountainous birding hotspots, followed by an overnight trip to Fraser Island, we will fly from Brisbane to Cairns, visiting yet more good birding sites. We will then drive up to Cape Tribulation before heading back south again to Port Douglas and a day out on the Great Barrier Reef. We then return to Cairns for the flight to Alice Springs, where we will hire a 4x4 camper and set off for a week on the circuit to and from Kings Canyon and Ayers Rock. We then fly to Darwin from where we will spend the last two weeks of our holiday making our way to Broome via Kakadu, Cooinda, Katherine Gorge, Kununarra, Lake Argyle, Emma Gorge, the Bungle Bungle’s and Fitzroy Crossing. Our last two nights in Australia will be spent in Broome before we fly back to Perth, from where we will connect with the flight all the way back home to Zimbabwe via South Africa. We already know we can't wait to return!
A nice hide and a quick find at Ground Zero. Thanks so much for the cache.

A quick scribble as it was raining and wanted to protect the log book. Fortunately no need to stand in the rain searching for this one. TFTC
Another quick find here. A new take on a theme I've seen a lot. Just not quite this was. Very good. Tftc
Another sign relating to fire awareness. Thanks for highlighting this safety message TFTC South West
Find No. 1340. Found with FUF009 at 2.25pm.
Heading home in the bus after doing the Annual Murray to Moyne Cycle Relay Event, it was at this spot the bus driver (FUF009) decided to make a stop to stretch the legs. Our leg stretching was a short walk back to the corner to grab the cache.
Nice cache hide, definately fits in with the surrounds of the area.

Find # 3070
Found with Tyred n Cranky
After a full on weekend of bus driving for the St.Arnaud cycling team, while they participated in the annual Murray to Moyne event. Heading home we decided to stop for a leg stretch and a quick cache grab.
This corner is one we always take while heading home, so there was no detour needed.
After reading the hint i realised i could see the cache fom the other side of the road.
I must admit this is a super appropriate cache for the surrounds.

Managed another quick park and grab on my way to Hamilton this morning, thanks South-West for the cache and the info.
Found this one on our return from Mount Gambier catching up with some interstate caching friends.
Had an awesome trip, and decided to continue our caching trip by grabbing some on the way home.
Thanks for bringing us to this pretty little town.

Heading off to Adelaide via Penola, and stopped by for a look. My first day at high school? Black Tuesday Tasmania, 1967. I'll never forget it -- about 1,000 kids sitting on rocks in the Derwent River holding wet hankies or torn up sheets over their mouth and nose. River on one side, fire on the other three. Came within ~100m. Amazingly windy, still, it kept the flies at bay! TNLN, SL, TFTC!
A quick stop and grab, having found a similar one a couple of days ago we knew what to look for. The countryside is already looking dry so we can but hope for a safe fire free summer.
While heading homeward from Mount Gambier decided to detour via Cobden and visit the relatives. Found another of these themed caches quickly as we drove through town. Tftc
Nice hide which was spotted from a distance as we had seen some a little bit similar.

With our brief stay here in S.A. over, it's time to head back to Victoria. We drove all the way back to Geelong, stopping for rest breaks and caches !! Once again, thanks to all of the CO's who entertained us with their hides today. We can't wait to return again in the future. TFTC Marly8120
Suscoe's 6th stop for the day.
Another interesting spot and we must say an important matter out here on the western plains.
Thanks to Marly8120 for placing this cache here.
All quiet this morning.
