The situation here has been reviewed again.Sufficient time has elapsed since the issues were highlighted, and nothing has been done to restore it. Circumstances that prevent timely maintenance can arise, and ample opportunity for the Cache Owner to get in touch to request a time extension has been provided.No request has been received from the Cache Owner, ValoForce, for further time to restore the cache.On this basis, it appears to have been abandoned by the Owner and, therefore, will be Archived.Caches lost in this manner will not be Unarchived.This area is now available for other interested players to utilise for cache placement if viable locations can be found.

### Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###This geocache has been brought to my attention as needing an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner. The cache owner needs to:* Take action to restore the cache or address issues such as correcting the D/T rating.* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute which is present. Otherwise :* Post a Note Log to request more time if necessary or provide other information.. **Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this. That is for use only **when you actually do something to repair the cache**. Alternatively:* Archive the cache, and remove any remaining geo-litter from the site.In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page to await owner action by ValoForce and to take it off the playing board to prevent further geocaching community inconvenience.[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)**I will check back in 30 days** to see that action has been by the CO.If nothing has happened, I will assume that the cache has been abandoned, and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache. *Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is in good condition, waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.Please see [my profile page](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u=Balayang) for additional information.Thank youBalayang -GeoffCommunity Reviewer -Australia

Doesn't seem to be here anymore.

unlucky this time

Another DNF this morning

Bull

1 out of 3 so far dnf maybe next time

TFTC SL
Great idea, took awhile to find, snagged it just before dark...
Was starting to get a little creepy there, found someones remains of an old camp nearby.
Log a little damp, maybe could do with a check soon.
Again thanks.
* On our way out we veered a little south west of the green dam, found old buildings and a dolphin bus... I think we trespassed into deliverance county back there and noticed a light on the porch of a rear structure, then noticed posts without fence to the right.

Was getting a bit worried we wouldn't find it and would be stuck trekking back through the bush in the storm. But walked a bit wider and there it was. Kids very much enjoyed this find after the muddy trek!
TFTC

Interesting

Random lunchtime geocaching. orsom Cache how did you do that. Put in a dry log TFTC

Quick find. Log wet SL TFTH.

We headed out today to finish off on the many faces of ValoForce caches, we got all bar one due to some construction work happening, your caches are genius and the challenge, worthy of a favourite point..... brilliance, pure brilliance!! We couldn’t sign the log as it was soaked but have sent the CO a message with proof of the find TFTC

Being such a scardey cat, would only attempt this type of terrain in winter. Bush bashing wasn't too bad but was so glad to get out of there once the unusual and very appropiate cache had been found. Great . Here goes another fave. That's it. All gone! Tftc!

Found this uniquely Australian cache today. Great container. I hope it stays there a long time. TFTC

Day off today, so decided to go on a road trip to perth and back. Found all but 1 cache today, was a great day out. Tftc sl tnln.

Dodged all the spiders on the way to this one... forgot my pen so unable to sign the log.

Very cool! Bit nervous about snakes tho :/

Found Australia - The Musical. Nothing is too small to ValoForce, even with this awesome cache! Yes, the musical instrument survived the fire. TFTH ValoForce.

Went to find this two nights ago but the 3 fire trucks there putting out a fire made me second guess. Maybe a check to see if it survived?

Cool cache! Not so fun with a bunch of three year olds but we managed! Tftc!

Love this one kids got a bit wet trekking the bush.

Found by Mary & David, in convoy with The Coffees, at 1045. Loved the walk in. Not quite sure what to expect when we approached GZ, and there it was - another FP. Our thanks to ValoForce.

Out today finding these caches after the WA event. We are having a great time and the weather has been good.
Our thanks to ValoForce for the cache another favorite on this one.
Regards
The Coffee's

Got to this location and ensured we read the previous logs.

Didn't get our feet wet during our creek crossing however, did get attacked by ants on the move due the rain.[:(!]

Trekked into this cache in between showers of rain. Luckily we had our big umbrella with us to keep us dry.

Really unusual hide... Thanks ValoForce for this cache

After a short walk through the bush this instrument was revealed to us in its glory! Hopefully it stays there longer yet.

Find #7648**

Day fifteen of my across the Nullarbor, then to Perth via Denmark trip. First things first, a flash mob, followed by a convoy up the road with sharkiefan, Mica Paramedic, Alansee and Mr and Mrs Earthbound. We started off with no real plan, then we found the first valoforce cache and from then on, it became "Team ValoForce day" Oh yeah, some quality caches to be found, Awesome day.

HAHA, Whats that doing there?

**Thanks to ValoForce for the cache. TNLN**

I had a bash at singing some home made version of Australia but distinct lack of an appreciative audience had me faltering. Managed the mini water crossing twice without wet feet! Yay! Another goodie from the ValoForce crew. Tftc

So we came, did a bit ballet over the creek, performed the concerto, signed the log and repeat or should that be retreat? TFTC

Originally found & logged under the family caching name 'clan-wallace' but it is time to reinvent ourselves

Continuing on our Tour de Valoforce this was next on the list. Muggle Hubby chose the left option - while we chose the right one. He strolled along the track whilst we clambered over the gate - not a pretty sight! We hadn't gone very far when we realised we had made a bad choice. The right option we chose was definitely wrong, and we exited the area where others who had apparently made the wrong decision also, created an exit point.
Now we were faced with another obstacle, a little stream needed to be forded. We would have to get at least one foot wet. Fortunately Caroline had brought her walking stick. Whilst working out how we were going to cross it, neither of us realised we were on an ants nest. The ants did though, and quickly decided to explore our bodies! The rest of the walk through fairly heavy scrub was punctuated by ouches and clothing adjustments to rid ourselves of the pesky little hitch hikers.
In the meantime Muggle Hubby had found the cache, signed it, and was walking back to meet us. Having come this far we wanted to see it too, so we walked in the rest of the way, and it was worth the effort.
I loved the not a cameo cache! And appreciated the cache title also.
On the way back, Muggle Hubby and Caroline had crossed the stream, and Caroline turned back to give me a hand up, forgetting she was once again on the ants nest. It was very naughty of those critters to continue to invade her clothing after her having done me a good turn.
This was definitely an Anticipated adventure which was made more humourous because of our Antics!

I am playing hostess to cachers from Victoria who have come over for WAGB. I decided to take them on a Tour de Force & this was one of them. When it was far too late I remembered that the most direct route is note always the best. While the, so called, muggle in the party took the sensible(& ultimately quickest) route the two old ladies decided to climb a couple of fences, quite unnecessarily as it turned out, to arrive at the same spot. As we took so long summoning up the courage to jump the creek some big ants took the opportunity to hitch a ride on our shoes. As we ventured into the bush they travelled up our trouser legs. Which made for a very interesting return journey. No that was not a Victory dance we were doing!
A lovely cache which deserves a favourite. TFTC

A piece of bushland we never knew was here. An easy find but an interesting place to go. We kept an eye out for snakes too.

Nice hide

Spotted something looked out of place from the 20m mark! Nice hide in the bush. Thanks for the hide!

Wanted to sing a tune, found cache instead. Thanks for the hide!

This one was a real adventure. All I could think about were spiders, ants, ticks and snakes... until I spotted the cache - brilliant!! Totally worth the walk and was great to get out of my comfort zone. TFTC ValoForce

T1.5?? Seriously, the snake risk alone makes it a T3 for me!! My legs got scratched reaching GZ but on a day like today, there's no way I could tolerate long pants. Thanks for the cache.

Out and about with B12. TFTH TFTC

Had a fun trek through the bush getting too this cache, totally worth it

Came to the area to show a friend some ValoForce caches and to do some I had not yet done.

This cache was awesome, but hard working out a path to the cache. Never seen a container like that before! So much effort has clearly gone into this cache, a true work of art! Thanks for the cache ValoForce

TFTC! Out with Cravo10 to find a bunch of caches a fair distance South East of Perth. Had a good fun finding another BnB indefinitely caches, a few of the rainbow Serpent series, a few stand by me and a bunch of odd caches. Thanks for a good morning.

Glad to finally find a way in to this well constructed cache add fav

Was hoping to see lots of wildflowers in bloom around this one, but I think I must have come too late in the season. Never mind, the cache more than made up for them. Thanks for another smiley ValoForce

Another fantastic find here after a short walk through the bush . Another fave point from us for this one [^]. Great job

ValoForce - jinta29 found your cache Australia - The Musical on 17/09/2015. This is my find #3894 and find #6 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Really enjoyed this GC walked through bushland we have been so near so many times but never walked through thanks

Found it. Beautiful area brickwood park is named after a family that lived nearby here. My GC hubby knew them

One of my absolute favorites. Thanks valoteam for this awesome cache and never ceasing to surprise us

There was enough water in the creek (drain) for this one to be Ten Canoes the Musical. Loved the camo. I actually walked straight past it. Don't laugh !-). Tftc

Nice stroll in the bush. Cool container. No wonder it needs to be off the beaten track t4tc

Not sure the correct way to enter this reserve but we enjoyed the stroll on the bush. Fantastic cache container well done ValoForce.

Definitely a unique container and always great to mix some culture in with a caching experience! Thanks!!

We were out and about searching for the latest ValoForce offerings. Words fail me, another remarkable cache. I could see the detail and time that would have been spent constructing this cache. I could not believe it when I first saw it as I approached GZ. Favorite point from us.

Thanks ValoForce for the cache.

(chwiliwr team catch up log)

Today we were conveying stuff down to Wellard for my daughter and son in law but by the time I got it to them the weather was too wet to actually do the work so we decided to go for a few caches instead. Headed to the newer caches around the Byford area and found all of them that we tried for.

This was the easiest cache to find today but was the best one of them all. Log signed and cache replaced.

Thanks ValoForce for the cache.

We had heard impressive things about Valoforce's hides so today was set aside to hunt them down. Wow what can i say, totally impressed with the quality and cleverness of them all. No two were the same which just adds to the fun and adventure.

Loved this one because it was hidden away but easy to spot TFTC

Our mission today was to find all Valoforce caches. 4 1/2 hours later mission complete.
No cache was alike several added to my favorites.

2nd for the day and the easiest to spot. TFTC

Headed out to Byford again this arvo to track down some more ValoForce hides. This CO is fast becoming quite legendary in their hide style and the three caches I found in the half hour I so I had spare didn't disappoint.

This was the first stop and the main reason for my visit to the area as I wanted to knock it off before the expected muggling as predicted in the description. Arrived at GZ and it didn't take long to spot the 'non camo'. Love the work that has gone onto producing this one, awarding a favourite.

ValoForce I found your cache at 4:34pm, this was the 1st of 3 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 2120. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

SLTFTC

Finding this cache took far longer than it should have, but still only about 3 or 4 minutes at GZ. Perhaps I can blame my 'bad leg' while trying to walk around in the sometimes long grass, or perhaps I just looked in the wrong place . At any rate, the cache was found and the log signed for another smiley . Thanks to ValoForce for the cache.

Very clever. Lucky geo-hubby didn't souvenir it as he has a collection of these. Thanks ValoForce

What a great day for a cache run and then a bit of bush walking. Wow was my first thought when I heard her say wow too and I turned towards her and spotted it. I wondered whether I might get a turn, but no not today.

Thanks for your great work and inventive hides ValoForce.

Very happy to include this cache on our Byford search list today. The walk to GZ was pleasant on this winter's day when hopefully any slitheries are sound asleep.
I beat megawat60 to GZ and let out a WOW as I spotted the cache. By its nature, it belongs there in the bush, and fits its name well.
Thanks for another very unique cache, ValoForce, another fave from me!

FTF at 8.34am - Normally I am unavailable for morning caching due to work, but today things worked in my favour. Saw this come up and had a coffee while I thought if I was up to the challenge. Decided I had time before my appointment so off I headed. Quickest Valoforce find ever! Yes not your usual camo style but another very well thought out cache never the lest. TFTC Valoforce and all your other clever caches in the area. Replaced exactly how it was found.

Had the day off work with a headache and fell asleep again, woke up at 9 and seen the email, NOOOOOO new caches released nearly 2hrs ago and I'm sleeping, headed out the door and got to gz to find a very nice and different container and ftf is gone too and I'm soaked, thanks for another great cache

Thought I would have to be crazy lucky to be able to have a chance on being first to find this one after dropping the kids at school 50kms away...but thought why not give it a try? Parked the car & checked...no logs yet so off I went. About half way to GZ I got an email & thought "oh no!"...checked & yep, the FTF was gone. Great cache though & glad I cane out to get it today, a favorite point from me at my first ValoForce cache.
TFTC ValoForce

I saw 3 new caches get published this morning only 16 kms away so after having lunch i headed out by myself to find them. This was the second cache on the list to find (decided to keep the micro till last) and after a pleasant walk to GZ the very artisic cache was spotted. Another fav point TFTC ValoForce
