It would appear 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.

Hi there docNwitchjy,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **MAY** need 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 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)

**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days so others know exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication kill this cache.**

#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache and repair and/or replace 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.

- **Place A Write Note Log:-** Reviewers are not mind readers, so without your note on the cache page telling them what the situation is, they can't tell what is going on with the cache.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) and, when the listing is next checked, all will be fine for a little bit longer. But be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.
If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date), please ensure you visit this page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks so as to keep everyone up to speed with what is happening.

- **Adopt/Archive:-** 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 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 and processed accordingly.

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.

**JUST A TIP:-** Have you checked out the new Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own? Have a read about it [**HERE.**](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/07/welcome-to-the-cache-owner-dashboard/?newsletter=PM) You will find your very own dash board [**HERE**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner?utm_source=geocaching&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=COD)

Thanks for your cooperation,

Found while out on a caching trip up through Benalla and Wangaratta and the Winton Wetlands..
Thanks for the cache.

Caching in and around the area, we picked up a few caches in the area and this was one of them. We enjoyed our visit to this new area.

An easy find at GZ, cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Hubby went for this one while I chatted on the phone, he assured me that all was good and the cache was just where the GPS told us to look. SL TFTC

Very good guys

??

Thank you for a great hiding spot. It was fun to find

TFTC TNLN

Found by Mary & David at 1025. Able to drive there. Quite wet today, and here we are to start the Winton Wetlands series without a kayak! Wattle everywhere. Our thanks to docNwitchjy.

A good little spot to stop for a short stroll this morning
Good views over the wetlands to boot
A cache soon in paw,
Oh what a hoot

TFTC

The reason for our trip today was to get these caches. Arrived at the parking spot and thankfully the rain had stopped. A bit of lunch, a cuppa, coats on and off on a most enjoyable walk around these wetlands. Saw lots of wildlife and this is obviously an extremely healthy area even if there is little water. Only had to look up if you were a midget. Thanks docNwitchjy for bringing us here today.

Heading up here to Winton Wetlands with sorceysal and 08151605 to collect a few caches. We parked in the designated place and ate some lunch, donned our jackets, hats and gloves and then headed off.
Fortunately the rain held off while we discovered the hides at the various highlighted areas in the wetlands. We did see, some birds, bird prints, plenty of kangaroos, and even a wild duck! No pelicans today though. Our imagination ran wild with some of the' tree characters' as we approached each area. That kept us entertained.
By the time we returned to the car we were quite warm and glad of the rest.
Of course, it was then that the rain started again. We were so lucky!
TFTC docNwitchjy
Plenty of wildlife here but this one was not alive thank goodness.

Cool. Wet day. 8° it really cold out now. Out and about with Sorceysal & 6Hinemoe2. Cache good condition . TFTC Cheers

This was a nice quick roadside park and grab. Soon found it

This one was just of the track and was found quickly due to excellent coordinates. SL TFTC

Nice little track in

Easy find in the exocarpus

Found it

On our way to grab some lunch at the Hub and this was a quick grab. TFTC

Everton to Benalla
Moving camp today, a few caches on the way. Camped by the river in Benalla, stayed here before its a great spot.
It was then out to Winton Wetlands, Glenrowan then return. This was an interesting road trip many new places we had not visited before. Some great hides in some interesting locations
Thanks for placing this cache docNwitchjy

Found it

This one must have fallen from its original position.
Look up ... then down.
Needed to step away to see this one.
Returned to same spot.
TFTC

Great hide. Spending the day out cache finding for Father's Day for Geohubby. TFTC

TFTC!
Quick park and grab.
Found with Shellumbus and RedLeader&Fox2.

Found while passing by. An easy find in a nice spot. With Indianagleeson and shellumbus. TFTC.

We all looked up...... and then down! Quick find tftc with Indianagleeson red leader and fox 2

I looked up but in the wrong tree, finally found the correct one TFTC

I found this on the ground so it didn't suit the name so raised & covered it... TFTC 24 July 2017

success

Took us a little bit to find the track without a fwd but got there in the end, still made it in a little Astra good find tftc

??

Hubby was going to Winton Races, so it was an opportunity to grab a few caches, even though it was raining. A nice area to explore, maybe when not raining. Another quick find.
Thanks docNwitchjy for placing the cache for us to find.

Found at 2.15pm, We were wandering around the area for the weekend.
A gentle stroll from the car,

Thanks

Out and about in the wetlands today. They are very wet after the 12 hours of solid rainfall we have just had!

On arrival at GZ the sun popped out. The cache was spotted quickly and I was back on my way in no time.

TFTC

New area for us TFTC

Bit of unused track

Our second attempt at caching in these lovely wetlands while staying in the nearby Glenrowan Tourist Park. We absolutely love this area and all the birdlife.

At various times during the day we saw several kangas and a smallish red bellied black snake about 80cm long take his time crossing the road in front of us as we watched

We have been very impressed by the number of caches and how well they are being maintained....a real credit to the cache owners

Many thanks for the hide docNwitchjy[^]

Dropped GPS from bike on the other side of wetland. Went back searching and found it. It's going to be a long day. Luckily this was an easy find. TFTC

Found. Good day exploring locally with the 4yo.

Quick easy find in a stunning area. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Had a very nice sit down with cake and coffee then off again to a few more. Found this one on the ground which I don't think is where it belongs. Rehid it where we believe it should be.
Thanks

Took too long!! Had our eyes on the Ground for snakes probably why I didn't find it quickly. But then there it was where I had walked over and over. Great location for caching today in the Winton Wetlands. TFTC

The name has us confused with this one. TFTC

Thanks, great Cache

Not the easiest find, but got there in the end, TFTC

Found with chompies, TFTC

TFTC what a great day for a few caches

Quick easy find

Found it

A long weekend and another trip with the geo 'rents and geobro'. What a cool way to spend Easter
Headed for Albury for 2 nights and then Bendigo for 1 night and we took each day as the caches came. A turn here, a turn there, a dirt track here and there and miles and miles of bitumen [^]
LOL, I've just seen one of geobro's cache logs and it reads very much like mine
Although he forgot to mention that he not so kindly shared his viral germs with geomum and I! [xx(]
Today (day 3) I found 62 caches and had 1 DNF

Unless mentioned otherwise, please know that your cache and log book was in good condition.

I don't always stand on caches... no matter what geobro says!
Sometimes I just don't get to see them as he and geodad get in the way

TNLN. SL. TFTC docNwitchjy

A nice quick find in a lovely area.

We're off on a four day geofamily (Geodad: moneydork, Geomum:Tounga, Geosis: locus cache and geobro: ME) road trip adventure heading to Albury and Bendigo. A lot of miles were covered, many sights seen, lots of laughs, mirth and merriment during the trip. Oh, we found a few caches along the way as well. Day 3 was moving day.

Based on the cache name I looked up and didn't see the cache lying on the ground but Geodad did and gave me a serve for not seeing it. At least I didn't stand on it!

Thanks for the cache docNwitchjy.

Found this one lying on the ground. Tried to replace but seemed rather precarious TFTC docNwitchjy

#4 on my quick raid of these caches - I replaced this one as well as I could but no guarantees itll stay there!

easy find on a drive around the wetlands. tftc.

Found it

Done

Found it!

#1707 Timing is everything they say, and we got it all wrong here. After walking down to GZ 1 minute into the search the heavens opened up and we had to sprint (ok jogging pace for us) back to the geocar to seek refuge. Just as well we got back when we did as some decent sized hail started falling! We waited out the rain, hail and thunder and returned to GZ. After looking up, we looked across and finally spotted the cache. The lid of the cache was on the ground, so we emptied the fresh water from the container, signed a dry log and reattached the cache and replaced where found. Tftc docNwitchy.

All dry here today and not a muggle insight. After a bit of a search the cache was found. TFTC

[Blue]# 13804[/Blue] Found on another adventure with lgoody around Glenrowan.
The weather was perfect and not many muggles around thankfully.
Thanks for the cache docNwitchjy,

#7985 Found and Logged with Roostaman
A number of cacher found while stopping in Glenrowen over night, Heading north on a fine day after spending a few days in Geelong after the Melbourne Mega
Thanks for the cache docNwitchjy

Continuing on around the wetlands and came to this area. Still lazy and wanting to turn every cache into a park & grab. But it was getting hotter and the promised rain had not yet arrived, so we found a way to sneak in next to the cache in the car. Again, as for all the ones we've found today, this one was cleverly hidden. I like to feel unobserved when cache hunting so thanks. My turn to find it, maybe geowife was letting me find a few. Thanks for this cache, it turned out to be our last, because the rain arrived.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one of the list

This one was not up, but hopefully is now TFTC

A few caches to collect on the trip back home.
Tripped around with Bettyboo3747 and collected some of the newer caches in the area.
Not so wet around here today! A nice place for a walk though on a quiet day.
Thanks, Robmc.

Our last for the day on a caching expedition with BettyBoo. We all enjoyed a welcome coffee and cake at the Hub before a quick stop here so the Harrowang's could log this one. Found the cache on the ground which we are sure is NOT what was its intended GZ. SL at 3.44pm and placed more appropriately. TNLN except a couple of photos on this delightful spring day. #3062 TFTC and all the others you have placed in this wonderful area in the north east of Victoria. Now it is time to head for home after a great day out together.

A great drive through the country side. A great view from the site of the Cache. Thanks for the Cache.

As someone else mentioned it was a lovely walk in. Pity there is no water in the lake anymore. I suspect this cache was not were it should have been as we looked up for it to no avail. Found it and replaced it as found, but certainly not like the cache title.

Thanks for another smiley after having cake and a drink in the lovely new cafe venue just opened four months ago. TFTC. LS

# 9564. A beautiful Spring day to travel the countryside again trying to get smilies for at least two multi-caches so that I can complete a Challenge. Hoping to gather up a few traditionals along the way.

I am the 4th visitor to this one, the second today. I enjoyed the walk through the wild freesias to this one and picked a nice handful on the way back to the car. I could see where the elephants had been stamping near this one so it made it a little easier to find. Retrieved and signed, put back and now it is time to go home.

Thanks docNwitchjy

Found on the way to lunch at the Winton Wetlands Hub. Quick find... TFTC

TFTC. We did as instructed and another {*FTF*} to add to the list.

I always remember this place as one of the camping spots for the Duck Shooters during Duck Opening. Some years it was a small tent city.
I knew what look up and cache was going to be, I did manage to retrieve the cache and surprised myself by getting it back. Thanks for the cache on a glorious spring afternoon.
