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.

Thanks for your cooperation,

MMM could not be seen by me today.

Couldn’t find this one. Not sure if it has been moved or we just couldn’t find it.

Also only found the new Sign

No “sign” of the cache that I could see… it’s a new sign for the new standards so the cache may have gone when the sign was changed… needs to be checked.

Thanks

In Warrnambool and out caching with Pprass. Thanks for hiding and adding to our pleasure in exploring the area. Cache maintenance completed.

Found at 2:03 PM in the company of Liz and Bruce, GAFF1
Thought we knew where this cache would be placed, but there was nothing there, so L&B had a very convenient container and replaced it for the CO.
Thanks South-West.
Feedback: The cache is now at a T2.0 location.

Yay

Not onsite
Needs maintenance

Need to check on cache as work has been done on sign

gone

No luck here today. The sign looks to be a newer fire rating sign so the cache might no longer be here if a new sign is no in place.

Thanks.

Found ️

Leaving Portland and heading off home.
Went a convoluted back way and did a few caches on the way.

I knew where this cache would have to be before i arrived.
Planning to be safe depends on a lot of information.
Thanks, Robmc.

A safe day had by all! Also had a lovely stop at a local veg stop on our way here, we highly recommend a visit for fresh veg and herbs including giant eggplants!

Quick stop and grab - TFTC

Making our way to Warrnambool on our Victorian winter holiday. We, too, live in a high bushfire area in the NE of Victoria. These signs are a familiar sight along our roads up there. Replaced full log sheet with another write-in-the-rain one as the rain started! SL at 2.12pm TFTC Marly8120 #8070

Fire danger was low when we found it

Found it then read one of the comments that there was a second one and went back. Not sure why there was two but sneaky. Wouldn't have noticed the second one otherwise.

Pretty easy find. Quite creative. Thanks to creator.

lovely day for an adventure tftc

Found but couldn’t write on the log. It must have gotten wet and now it’s stuck

Have to be careful retrieving thus one

Drive-by on our tour from Hopkins Falls to Port Fairy.
Logged in honour to all firefighters especially fighting the catastrophal bushfires Dec-Feb 2020 in NSW and Victoria - we saw reports on TV at home in Germany and have seen lots of the sad results of the fires during our journey from Sydney to Adelaide now.
Many thanks for their hard work and for the cache,

Found it didn’t even have to get out of the car plus the weather wasn’t in our favour to get out

Holiday in Warrnambool for the weekend
enjoyed myself to found it
Thanks Marly8120 for placing the cache

Easy find. Tftc. Dropped TB off.

Found during a caching trip with e.gregory1 to south-western Victoria and south-eastern South Australia for a few days. Day 1 saw us travel from Adelaide to Keith, the back-roads past Bordertown to Frances, Edenhope, Harrow, Coleraine, Wannan, Hamilton, Byaduk, Koroit and down to Warrnambool. That night we camped out behind the coastal dunes west of Warrnambool after a collecting a sprinkling of local caches. On day 2 we returned to find a few caches around Tower Hill before heading through Port Fairy to Portland, spending the rest of an unpleasantly hot and windy day around Portland and camping out nearby. On day 3 we drove from Portland to Nelson with a detour to Dartmoor, then back to Ewen Ponds, Port MacDonnell, and a circuitous route up to Mt Gambier with a solid days' caching culminating in some rewarding finds around the Blue and Green Lakes. We were very lucky to locate a very pleasant campsite a few kilometres out of town in Xanthorrhoea (grass tree) mixed eucalypt woodland for the night. The final day saw us travel to Millicent to complete the SFE Challenge series, then to Kingston, Salt Creek, Meningie, Tailem Bend, Murray Bridge and return back home. All in all a very eventful and fruitful trip with some great cache finds, some easy drive-bys, challenging tree climbs, a number of strenuous walks and visits to many scenic locations. We found an assortment of traditionals, puzzles, multis, earthcaches and a virtual, including a rewarding first-to-find, a wide range of difficulty-terrain combinations and detours to locate some unloved caches.
Thanks for the cache Marly8120!

Today FeatherWaite and I headed to Warrnambool from Adelaide for a few days of caching in south-western Victoria/south-eastern South Australia.

We had some specific areas and caches that we were targeting, but also took the opportunity to find a few other caches along the way. It was quite a warm day, so that limited us a bit in what we could do and so we had to leave some of the more strenuous caches for another time.

This was a quick find on a day that you really do need a fire plan!

Thanks South-West for the cache.

Very wet inside. We came from near Gospers mountains fires for some fresh air, so have heeded the warning to be prepared. Fires of NSW are 6 weeks and still burning.

Very easy find. Tftc

Found it! Was on the ground. Thank you

Nice

Found it

Nice and easy

Nice and easy!!

Almost raining so we scurried up to this one and geowife won out. Thanks for the quick fun here.
