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 Tommyh200,

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.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

After camping in Beaufort on chooknchunks farm; myself, Day1976, my sister Nakarra and Day's son Jo ventured out as team JIND in an effort to get to 70 caches today.
A rip in my pants and a DNF on this one. First and only DNF of the day.

Pretty sure this one is gone. Cache owner might want to check on it.

It seems that this one has beaten us too - over fences and under branches but no luck

Another DNF for us here too. Looked in all the spots we thought it should/could have been. I even left the kids to run up and down the big hill in hopes that it would keep them occupied for longer so we can search for longer too, but still no find. Pretty spot to stop and look around though. It may have rolled down the hill and there was no chance I was going to go and look for it!

I might not have headed off to this one (leaving springtail back at the car near #4) had I seen the previous DNFs. A previous cacher had noted that finding #4 first had helped, but if this one is supposed to be in a similar spot to #4 then I reckon it is has definitely disappeared. Nice view anyway! TFTC

I think the drop bears might have taken this one

More fighting fences
And I made it lake side in the pines again
I couldn't find this cache in the needles,
no matter how many times I hopped the fence !!

Awesome views

We are travelling back to Adelaide from the Parkville Mega. We stopped to collect 4 in this series. Alas we didn’t have enough time to get them all. TFTC we enjoyed our walk.

Heading to the Parkville Mega grabbing caches along the way. TFTC

The quick find here was a good morale booster after our epic search at the previous hide (and it had to last for the next two searches as well ...). Signed, returned to position, and on we went.

The GPS had us walking further than google predicted but some lovely views. a nice walk and photo opportunities. TFTC

Found it, had a nice walk along the lake, mostly beautiful sunshine and kept out of the light breeze. Tftc.

A week after my last visit to Ballarat, today I headed back with Biggles Bear on a day of completely opposite weather. Today we had sunshine, virtually no wind, and no rain or hail. Another easy one as we counted down towards 1.



My thanks for the cache, Tommyh200.

Found 11:08:00 AM, during our September Caching day out with Muzza.

TNLN, thanks Tommyh200 (F=334 H=9).

More strolling. TFTC

Took the daughter's geodog for a walk today to make an attempt at these Lake Burrumbeet caches that have been staring at me on the map for far too long. Most of them I found surprisingly quickly as all had excellent coords once the GPS settled with only 1 or 2 proving difficult and 1 DNF.(apart from the 2 with long term DNF's).
I did this one after #4 which may have proved a blessing. I didn't have the trouble that previous cachers did as I had a bit of an inkling as to where it might have been placed and that geofeeling on this occasion was spot-on! Great view from here! Thx Tommyh200 ftc.

Finally at the last moment a well hidden cache finally revealed itself. Almost left this in the too hard basket. TFTC

Enjoyed the stroll along the shores here! Thanks

#13996. Robmc and I are having a short stay at Lake Burrumbeet and gathering up some caches in the area. Today was our travelling day from Melbourne so we only collected a small number of caches on the way and after we had settled into the caravan park.

It was certainly a hot afternoon to be tramping along here finding caches - the shady interludes were very pleasant. Nice to be able to add our names to #1 through to 6 seeing we had a bad start at the other end of the series.

Thanks Tommyh200

It has been ages since we (BettyBoo3747 and I) came to Ballarat and completed the BSRT. Since then it has grown somewhat, but we hadn't come back. This weekend we have teamed up with Chewin for the ride.
Today, after a 12 hour night shift, we drove up and did a few caches, checked into the Burrumbeet Caravan Park, then walked the Lake Burrumbeet series.
Although the wind was blowing strongly, the sun was quite hot today, and the sand made the walk slow.
The water was looking better every step we took.
Thanks, Robmc.

We had intended to travel to South Australia for a couple of days but our plans were thwarted so we settled for a shorter version instead.

After a night at Lake Learmonth we jumped on the bike and headed over the hill to see Lake Burumbeet and see if there was less wind there.

It was a fun day - thanks Tommyh200

To make the trip home to Adelaide after Christmas in Melbourne more interesting, and to break up the drive, we picked a few spots to stop and stretch our legs and collect some smilies. We found a few along the shores of Lake Burrumbeet. A nice spot for a walk. TFTC

Find # 4422

Well the Burrumbeet Caches took up a lot of time. First cache was grabbed at 1200H and the final one (Lake Burrumbeet Views) was signed at 1335.
Think I had to empty the shoes out at least 5 times to lighten the sand load. Man the sand was thick in parts. But the walk was worth the effort and one I would not have done if i was not hunting down caches.

Took me a while to locate this one once i finally made the grab my GPSr had me at 15m North of posted GZ. think the gale force winds are playing havoc with my GPSr signal.

TFTC Tommyh200

After much searching for a long time,we could not find this one anywhere! Searched and dug through all the pine needles to no avail. Will have to return on another day to try again and finish the series

**Smile # *4795* / Traditional # *3639***

This is one of two trips the geo boy and I have done with a day off from kinder and work we planned a trip out to the lake. The weather was so humid so the fluids kept coming as we worked from one cache to the other. We drove the top road through here as we didn't have a 4WD to take on the bottom track and a bit to hot to walk. We started at #8 and worked back. We parked as close as we could and walked to the cache. This one was found quickly today. Stamped and replaced as found.

**Thanks for placing this trad cache and series Tommyh200**
**Cache container and log in fine condition**
**Took nothing, Left nothing**

Suscoe headed off early this morning for a long day out in the Ballarat region with an event, some caches and catching up with family and friends.
It was a delightful summer's day for us, mild, some sunshine and a cool breeze.
We had a wonderful day roaming the countryside and enjoying the sights.
Thanks to Tommyh200 for this cache, a quick find here today.
Boy the lake is full at last!!!!!

**# 15538** Found on a top 4wd trek while camped nearby at the Lake.
Another good safe hide and no muggles around here today.
Thanks for the cache Tommyh200,
***Roostaman***

Windy wet cold and miserable . Found it retrieved it signed it and replaced it.
Thanks Tommyh200 FTC.

Great hide almost invisible

Found with geoboys and friend

The third of the caches that I completed along here this morning in really chilly winter temperatures. The lake is dropping a lot since my last visit. I hope rains fill it again soon.
I was surprised just how hilly and forested this side of the. Made some of the cache hides tricky in the pine forest.
Thanks Tommyh200

The cache took a minute or two to locate as it was well covered by pine needles. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Tommyj200 for the cache.

Glad i could come back and finish the series, it was such a shame to DNF this the last time as I had the rest of them. TfTC it was a lovely walk and the dog was greatful to be brought along.

Feeling pretty good about finding our second cache in the series, but wait! Where's the pen? So back to the car to find another. That's it. We're driving the rest! TFTC

Found on a caching trip to Ballarat with Freddo and Team Waldron, we are just about to head of after staying at the caravan park here so we offload the bikes and go for a early morning ride, once we get so far we realise we could have driven it, cache was located after a short search. TFTC

Heading over to Ballarat for a caching weekend and picking up a few caches on the way.

We managed to find about 230 caches in 3 days not bad work for 3 old guys

We stayed at the caravan park and did these 5 caches before leaving to drive home.

We decided to ride our bikes when we could have really driven and saved a few minutes.

Thanks for the series, got to see parts of Ballarat we wouldn't have seen otherwise.

TFTC

1:38:00 PM. Parked and made the short walk to this one around the pines. Better half made the find and log signed on this hot day. Thanks Tommyh200 for placing this cache.

No trouble finding this cache.
-------------------------------------------------------------
This cache was found using a Garmin GPSr, Montana 650t, Oregon 550 or Dakota 20. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

Today master 5 was desperate to go for a walk and grab some caches. Master 6 not so keen... Fast forward to tonight and master 5 was still keen so I dragged master 6 and muggle hubby along too with the promise of a frozen Coke for their efforts. I'm pleased I made hubby come as this area freaks me out a little. I think it's the pine trees... We also saw eagles soaring and a fox. We missed this on the first pass through as the GPS was in circles. Up, down, up, down. A quick find on the way back to the car. Many thanks

Checked up on this series today. Cache was missing and has been replaced.

DNF @ 15:30 with LouiseAnn and Annoying Tarbit.

We checked all around the indicated area, but couldn't locate a cache this time.

Thanks anyway Tommyh200

We didn't have a lot of luck on this series. At least at this one there have been some DNFs before us so might warrant a check. Thanks anyway.

Even though I was accompanied by Nugget who was with Dad when he found it, and a call to Dad to check i was looking in the right spot, i still couldn't find this today. Very frustrating as it's the only DNF for the day.

Suscoe was not sure what we did wrong today.
Great weather, great views and two separate searches resulted ion a DNF.
Will have to head back again one day.
We are still wondering where it could be after we moved mountains to look for it.

We decided to head out and grab a few local caches while we had a morning to spare.
Nice to be out here and not somewhere we usually go.
The cache was found after a little search.
Thanks for the hide.

Found with the family.
I was a fun day out in the nice mild weather.
Thanks for the hide.

Found while out with the family.
It was nice easy walking.
Thanks for the hide.

Just booked in to Burrumbeet caravan park, and saw there was a series close by,
Well a cachers got to do,what a cacher does.
Plug in the van and took off.
Thanks stashaa

Have the GeoRetriver and Geo Recuit out for the day. The kids love these ones. Thanks for the hide and a great day out.

Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

Pleasant morning on the lake walk. Gee the water level is dropping. Time off today so returning to complete this series. Ran into stashaa who offered encouragement for the search. Shared a few geo stories about common adventures. Good fun! Cache in good condition. TNLN TFTC.

We are on a road trip to attend "The Melbourne Event" Mega, taking our time to get there and on the return journey. Fortunately, there were lots of caches along the way to tempt us to stop for a while to smell the roses. This was one of those caches.

We had made our way to Ballarat to attend the GIFF Event and to spend a few days in the area before heading off to Melbourne. We decided we would complete some caches while in the area. We found the cache easily enough and with name in the log book, we were off to find a few more.


Thank you Tommyh200 for having placed the cache for everyone to enjoy

09:36
En route from Ballarat to Mt Beckworth, the little clutch of caches around Lake Burrumbeet caught our attention. It was our first visit to the lake, which has some water at present, but is certainly not full. We enjoyed exploring the lake shore, with a combination of driving and walking. After finding the cache and completing the paperwork we were treated to a performance by a pair of eagles diving and soaring over the lake.

Our thanks to Tommyh200 for bringing us here.

On our way for a long weekend bushwalking in the Grampians we stopped in Ballarat for lunch and a few caches and then this series at Lake Burrumbeet. Continued the walk along the track to find this one at 2:05pm.
TNLN
thanks Tommyh200

found on a short caching trip to this area to turn these into smiles

TFTC. Had to make a second attempt at this, didn't scratch around hard enough the first time. Thanks for this series.

Well we made it almost to this cache when the eldest son of Fergzter decided it was time to ride on dads shoulders. By the time I caught up with everyone else they were hunting around. Hmm no luck, so we did a second pass and sure enough we found it. Cache blindness in light of the amazing views from this spot is what i think. Thanks for bringing us here Tommyh200. A nice location for a cache.

At last a weekend with some reasonable weather. Hopefully the first of many to come. It seemed like a perfect chance to log a few caches. I tried to choose some that would require a little bit of a walk too.

This was find 9 of 11 finds for today, being found at 11:27:00 AM.

Thanks for placing this cache and bringing me here.

A pleasant walk with jcody. Took a while to zero in because the GPS was all over the place but we eventually got it.
3:56 pm

Well the track stopped so we made the short walk to GZ while noticing how far the water has gone down.
Thanks Tommyh200 for the placement.

Found in the company of The_Tritonz on an awesome first day of Spring. This is an area I had spent a lot of time in years ago when I used to do a bit of fishing.

We drove almost all the way to this one until the track turned into a goat path
Great views from up here thanks.

Found with Cherad and Mummymonster1012 after an afternoon of adventure, laughs and fun all round. We all enjoyed ourselves greatly and the geokids enjoyed exploring especially. TFTC

Found with Mi5sie and Mummymonster1012, on a lovely day out enjoying the good weather and good company, and it wasn't only the geokids having fun and exploring, we all had just as much fun as they did. This one took us a while to find, GPS had us all over the place, but Mi5sie's geohubby eventually made the find, which we were all happy to sign and replace. such a lovely place, thanks for bringing us here, TFTC

Found as Nicnax with mazzymay. A lovely walk along here for this series and mazzymay was making a habit of finding the caches where I had just looked and not found them. TFTC

Found as Nicnax with WeRAmused. TFTC

Walked along where 4WDrivers had driven, how brave were they?? Got to GZ and took a little while to find this cache. All O.K. to sign, thanks.

Found this one between events today. Thanks

Another blank. TFTH.

A great view from GZ and a great afternoon for a walk. TFTC

Nice quick find in the company of Glanville Girls, 6Hinemoa2, McLookers & Tomstache on a cold and rainy Ballarat afternoon

TFTC

Found today with all the usual suspects, McLookers, Tomstache, ST37E and 6Hineomoa2. After a short walk in the drizzling rain we made the find.

Cool cache, we didn't think we would find it but 6Hinemoa2 made the find. Thanks Tommyh200.

Found by 6Hinemoa2 this afternoon in the rain. We were pleased to make the find as we feared this one missing too. Thanks Tommyh200. Caching today with Tomstache, 6Hinemoa2, Glanville Girls and ST37E.

Having missed the previous two hides it was pleasing to locate this one. By now we were getting a little wet and decided to call off the search for the others.
TFTC Tommyh200

The race was on and the winner was Kenare congrats on the ftf. Tftc

Published

Woohoo! Ftf! After a quick dash from Linton after receiving notification we were here, on dark, finding caches! Tftc!

Tftc

Just got beaten to this one. Congrats Kenare on Ftf.
