#19 Pit Stop Gisborne, Victoria, Australia
By Team Campion on 31-Oct-15. Waypoint GC664C5

Unfortunately, I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore as advised previously, the cache is being de-listed (Archived) to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

The [**Geocache Maintenance guideline**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains what needs to happen with a Disable cache.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article [**here**](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

If you wish to contact me please send an email via my profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

I've noticed this cache is carrying a maintenance log which really does need to be addressed by the cache owner.

The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.

**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.

En route to the Parkville Mega from Bendigo. Nice little cache as an excuse to get out of the car and stretch my legs.

T4TC
Nice find after a toilet stop on the way to the Parkville Mega. Container needs some tlc.
Thanks Team campion

Quick find after a toilet stop on the way to the Parkville Mega. Log was damp but dry enough to sign and return.

In need of some love

We headed down to the big smoke to tackle some of the Parkville hides we had worked so hard to solve and accompany WTO on a maintenance run - not that many of them needed anything.
We stopped at this pit stop on our way from Bendigo. Cache needs a bit of love, the log is damp and it no longer matches the clue.


Thanks for a terrific weekend Team Campion

Ignore the hint and follow the coordinates. No need for fence jumping - nice quick find. One of our last coaches as we return to the suburbs after 4 weeks in the outback. Trying to cheer ourselves up and this is helping

Trust in the coordinates, clue is definitely misleading, easy find in the end, thanks!

Found by Aussie Train Driver 11/09/2018, find number 1138.
Out for an afternoon cache with my brother in the recent beautiful spring weather.
This was the final find for the day as we returned home. I have hunted for this one a couple of times by myself to no avail so I thought an extra pair of eyes would help. Unfortunately the hint lead us astray and after much fruitless searching we were on our way back to the car when I spotted the cache. Phew, very glad to turn this one into a smiley! With the incorrect hint it turns out we had been looking on the wrong side of the fence - if you've parked in the highway parking area there's no need to jump the fence to find this one.
TFTC.

Found on the final leg of our journey home from Mildura. A quick stop off today, only one other car here and they were far more interested in the facilities than what I was up to. A nice easy one before we set off on our way to do battle with the city traffic. SL TFTC

What was to have been a quick weekend trip to Melbourne to accompany leafotwind on his 3,000th cache find (since I had also recently completed the Victorian Premiers whereigo ) became an 8 day trip because there was a CITO [^] at Traralgon the next day which then led to Mallacoota and the Snowy Mountain Highway [^] since I couldn't legally use the Great Alpine Road as I didn't have snow chains because the boring freeway back to Melbourne and then back to Shepparton didn't sound like fun

The first day, I met my sister in Bendigo as she waited for her semi to be unloaded and reloaded, so we went op shopping in the meantime[:X] From there it was off to Melbourne and the group find of the Victorian Premiers whereigo which had taken me to many spots in Victoria [^] Then the group slogged our way up a slippery, muddy slope [|)][xx(] to get a couple of simple drive by 4 x 4 caches (when the tracks are open) before caching on into the night

I made a find on a previous DNF at Moe then it was off to Clean Up a Creek at Traralgon [^] followed by finding some bloody good caches (both containers and reasons for placement) around the area with leafotwind, NoWorries andAlphaDeltaIndigo [:X], chatting to Crisp image as the group found Wherever I Lay My Hat before Rex and I left the group, walking in the Crinigan Road Bushland Reserve at dusk[^], seeing a huge Dr21 dredger once used for coal mining and now placed at Morwell, finding a tiny grave in the middle of a shopping area , finding my 1st 3D printed cache container and then it was off to the Lakes Entrance area and wandering out on the peninsula[^]

Seeing old RAAF airfields and radio bunkers, seeing tiny country towns and meeting some great people (including an almost muggle woman and her children in Mallacoota where she had previously looked for 1 cache and who may now get into geocaching properly [^]), seeing the sun rise while surrounded by kangaroos and standing on the eastern coast of Vic and chatting with Rollmatrix throughout my time in Mallacoota and Genoa

Spending a few hours chatting with a lovely truckie, Michael [:X], who was on a wood chip run to Canberra as we traversed the countryside in the dark (after I had apologised for slowing down his fully laden rig as Harry crawled his way up a hill ) then I pulled into Cooma for a break and an EC and also found a cache, Southern Cloud, about the aircraft accident and then accidentally ended up at another memorial cache, Southern Comfort, Southern Cloud or Southern Storm, later on in the trip

Seeing brumbies amongst the snow along the edge of the road at night in the mountains in NSW [^], seeing a thermal pool early in the morning with steam rising from it in the cold air and water plants growing up from the sandy bottom [^], seeing the grave of the alleged Man from Snowy River while finding the multi The Man from Snowy River - HCPPP [^] and then chatting to SciFiRulz who I managed to sneak in a quick visit with before heading home and finding The Highest Railway Station on the way

Over the 8 days there was 9 DNFs (although I did manage to find a few on my 2nd attempts ), 1 CITO event attended and a total of 111 cache finds including 3 FTFs

As I am about 8 months behind in logging, I'm resorting to template logs to catch up.
My heartfelt thanks to the COs who have placed some tricky, funny, exercise required, scary, interesting and devious caches in some amazing spots! [^]
Rex and I have had some amazing adventures and enjoyed some incredible moments thanks to this fantastic hobby

Looked for 20mins and unable to find today with geokid

Pulled into the pit stop just after 12am allowing me to find my cache for the day without having to worry about finding it after work. The hint should really be updated at this point. It'd save cachers from trawling all over what is now a pretty filthy area. In the end the photo and trust in the coords led me to the cache.

Walking back and forth and geowife calls out that i am blind i am standing on it..TN left smiley and Poker Chip .. tyftc

Found with Monkey

Not quite what we were looking for..
Heading out in the NonPrado Subaru today with SnapHappy. Many laughs were had by all and way too many dad jokes were told
TFTC Team Campion

pretty easy find my gps was right on the money. TNLN. TFTC

Easy enough find. Not where description said.... Put sheet of paper in as log wet and full.

Surprisingly lots of muggles, went for the quick pickup anyways.

Thanks!

Last stop on my return trip from Melbourne to Bendigo and return in the one day for work. Really needed a break from driving now, as well as to use the brick building. Oh and to find the last cache of the day. Total = 3 finds & 2 DNF'S. That's a good day with 400km total driving today, glad to be nearly home. To many muggles, too many places to search, & too keen to get home. I'll happily leave it for another time.

A quick find heading home from Swan Hill. I had pulled in here once before but the number of Muggles scared me off. Today it was a quick find and I realised I probably would have been safe to have searched previously TFTC

After a hunt we found it. The description and the clue are misleading.

Found this 4/3/18 although we signed the log as 5/2. Mrs believed Doc when he told her the date. A lovely Sunday afternoon and some caching. This took a bit of effort to find as the description was misleading. Had the cache been moved? We replaced it where we found it. The area was a trashed and strangely most of the packaging started with M.

Easy find ... good spot

17:20
Took the scenic route back to the in-laws' after catching up with a mate in Gisborne.

This was a nice quick pit stop, just like it says on the packet.

Thanks, Team Campion

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment Team Campion.

A quick search, found, stamped and returned...

Dnf may have being moved

Stopped by here while on the way home from today's bushwalk. Finally found it at 17:30 although the hint seemed to have no relevance.

TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks Team Campion.

Found it

Good rest spot.
Rubbish bin overflowing.

Parked on the back road close to GZ
Snuck through the fence waited for a couple of muggles to leave then soon had the cache in hand
Thanks Team Campion TFTC

Quick find

Quick drive by for the first of the day. TFTC

Found

Tricky to find with so many muggles around.
Managed to avoid being arrested for loitering around the toilets...
TFTC

With Kaine, not at the base of a tree though

Quick break and pit stop. Cache in hand. TFTC

Quick find on the way home from event. Thanks.

6560 Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1500. On our way to spend some time with geocaching mates Team Ladava after a pleasant lunch at the 15 Year In Victoria Event. SL Tnx Team Campion

Found on the way home from Trentham.
Area needs a CITO but probably a fruitless exercise as so many motorists just don't seem to care about our environment, given that there is a rubbish bin a few metres away.
Left a whale eraser.
Thanks for the rest stop Team Campion.

Did some maintenance today and area full of rubbish now so have moved it to a better section of the rest stop and also put in a better container.

17:05
After participating in the Mount Dissa CITO #3, naturally our trip home was planned around a number of cache stops. This would have to be one of the most offensive spots we have stopped at for a cache, like Cachin Cousins 4/4/17, the stench and the rubbish is disgraceful - needs more than a CITO!

We did really wonder about this location for a cache - behind busy toilets, especially when there are lots of other suitable spots in the vicinity. While we were signing the log one person came around the back and showed us what she had while urinating! Toilets were full and she couldn't wait!

**FEEDBACK TO CO:** Perhaps a move of location might be in order.

Thanks Team Campion for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Stopped to stretch our legs after a long day of driving. Cache was easily found but such a shame about the rubbish.
TFTC

Good spot but pity about the rubbish people leave behind here. The stench and litter absolutely disgraceful.

New dog in Tow teaching



geodog what to do

On way home from picking up new geodog, had to make this a must do, as new puppy needed the facility more than me, so stamped my sign in log and replaced as found, log will need replacing in near future, not much room on page, Thanks Team Campion, been a long time between visits here

Quick find... Thanks for the cache

Found it on way home from holidays

Nice Quick pit-stop. Gotta be quick, in between muggles. Thanks Team Campion. TFTC

Find # 3899

Heading down to the Big Smoke for a Caching run. Was in need of a stop before hitting town and wouldn't you know it, a cache to boot.
This one was a quick find before others rocked up in the area.

TFTC Team Campion

Found by my Girlfriend and my sister while my mate and I waited inconspicuously in the car...

Had to wait 10 minutes for muggles to move on, then more arrived. More waiting, trying to look inconspicuous in my car. Just about clear and a caravan arrived. Finally the coast was clear. A quick dash to gz to find the cache lying in the open. Signed it and replaced it according to the hint.

Nearly missed it! Was looking too hard. Thanks

Find number 5575 at 2:51:30 pm
A quick find on the side of the highway on my way home. Busy place as vehicles came and went...
**Thanks for placing this cache Team Campion**

on a weekend away from brisvegas to go to friends surprise party at Metcalfe. on way back to airport and saw this cache on way. very windy today , nearly got blown over. no muggles and nice find. thanks for placing this cache here for us to enjoy

12:39, 7 September 2016. #470.

This was an interesting stop today. On my way home from a mid-week ride to Castlemaine I needed a pit-stop. Without realising it, I parked my bike as close as I could to GZ. Then, had to wait while one muggle made his pit-stop and a second muggle made a phone call and had a coffin nail. After they left I quickly proceeded to hunt and had the cache in hand in short order. I'd just finished signing the log and had replaced the cache in its hidey hole when a Toyota Hi-Ace full of young, male, muggles came to a screeching halt closer to GZ than the van should have been.

No hiding from this lot. I don't think they realised what I was up to (they probably would have thought Pokémon Go if anything), but stooged around near my bike making a phone call home and generally delaying my departure until they left.

Cache is in good condition and plenty of room in the log.

SL. TFTC Team Campion.

Thanks

Yep

fun!

Found on my way to the airport to see off my friend Aislin. She is heading to Rio to compete at her first Olympic Games in ISSF Skeet. I'm excited, hence the need to stop here. Thanks Team Campion for placing this cache.

As per the hint

Thanks for the cache I needed a break from driving. Freezing cold here

Found it. After sitting in car a few minutes waiting for muggle man to leave the entry of the mens toilet.

Thanks 6Hinemoa2 for leaving the mint tin in place of the original.
Signed and returned.
TFTC Team Campion for making me stop at this hide.

Well I found the lid just as the previous person did. I expanded the search area after finding the lid about 1-2m away from GZ . I placed it, along with a mintie tin, a sheet of paper in a plastic bag back where GZ was according to the hint. It is only a temporary replacement in case anyone like me plans to travel out and collect it before you get a chance to check it out.
Hope you don't mind.
this is a good place for a rest when travel ling and good to have in the memory bamnks when goinf west.
TFTC Team Campion

found the lid yet nothing else

Found it on our way home from a restful long weekend in central vic... almost half way home this was a much needed 'pit stop'. Tftc

Found by Mary & David at 1637. Had to wait for a muggle woman giving here dog a comfort break to depart, then it was a quick find. Scribbled out a rude muggle message in the log. The local wildlife has been nibbling on the log. Great views. Our thanks to Team Campion.

When I drove into the rest area at 7.20 this morning, I was hoping for a quick find on my way to Melbourne. Unfortunately that wasn't to be. There was a car parked next to the toilets and a cleaner inside. Not wanting to be seen poking around behind the toilets, I decided to wait... and wait... and wait.... Then the cleaner started to empty the nearby bins so I waited some more... Finally, the cleaner left, about half an hour after I arrived - well at least people can be comfortable that the nearby toilets are clean and the bins well-maintained and that's a good thing! Anyway, as soon as the cleaner's car was out of sight, I got out and another car pulled up, this time just a little further up the road. Oh boy! Back to the car to wait some more... The couple didn't walk towards the toilets though. It looked like they just stopped for a smoking break so I decided to make my move since they were a little way away. Well, the find itself was quick, but as I was signing the log, a couple of workmen came around to the work area at back of the toilet block just metres away from where I was crouching, probably to discuss their day's work! Seriously?!! By this time I'd signed the log and quickly made my way back to the car, hoping that the workmen wouldn't ask questions. They didn't. Whew! So yes, a quick find, but it took over half an hour to sign the log and hit the road again! Lucky I had enough time up my sleeve! Thanks Team Campion for the cache and the journey along the way!

Suscoe decided to have a day out heading north from home and then working steadily back to the south.
We covered quite a few kilometres after leaving home in the dark.
A terrific range of caching containers and locations were discovered.
It was a magnificent Autumn day with a mild breeze, plenty of sunshine and not too many vehicles to pass on the roads.

This was our 2nd find of the day.
All quiet here between rest stoppers dropping by we retrieved the cache and signed the log.
Thanks to Team Campion for placing this cache.

Our 2nd one of your caches found this pm and we were not disappointed as it was another great one and although there were a few muggles in their cars not far away we used stealth and patience and so were able to retrieve the cache, sign the log and replace it ok.
TFTC Team Campion - much appreciated again!

The GPS took us a round-a-bout way, but we soon had it in our hands. TFTC

Found it quickly and moved on.

found with geniejoan

Roadtripping to the 2016 Victorian Cache Awards with jtnsilo, we nabbed this one on our way.
A nice easy find was made here although disappointing to see such large amounts of litter from passers by. I collected a few pieces to bin but would have been there for hours grabbing all of it.
TFTC

On our way to the Victorian cache awards becca85 and I so we dropped by here, as you sometime do, and a quick find was had. log sheet signed, cache returned off we went, no time to stand in line either.. lol all good at GZ

Found by caughtatwork at 14:49 on 21/02/2016
A quick pit stop.
There are drug needles in the area. Recommend either a clean up or a relocation. Not an attractive location at all.
Took nothing, left nothing.
*Overall Experience: 1*
GAFF 1

Rated: for Overall Experience

Stopped and did some maintenance, put a new container in spot as old container was missing a cap.

-Team Campion

Too many muggles around GZ today to attempt a search

Easy find but the cache was missing its cap and the log was too wet to sign.

Concur. On ground with cap off...

Found it loose on the ground with no-cap, and we couldn't find it either. Might do with a bit of maintenance.


Found by Team Justice #706

A quick find in the rain on a cold summer's afternoon, TFTC.

See previous log.

I was on the road for six days, following the Aust Solo Speedway Championships, and this is one of the caches I located along the way.
Thanks for the work you have done to provide the enjoyment for so many of us.

Nice and easy find on the "very long" way home from Ballarat. Cache is in some need of maintenance as the lid is missing and the log is getting eaten by some very hungry bugs. Thanks for the cache.

No top on the container to the log is being eatten.

Done!!! Very fresh this morning !!!

A quick stop on the way to Melb, found the cache, made use of the facilities, then on we went

TFTC

Easy find on the way home.

Muggle city this afternoon, dozens of travellers making a Pi-- stop so left till later to make a find,
Thanks for placing a cache here I have always thought it should have one
