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Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.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.

### **A TIMELY REMINDER** ###
### (CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED) ###

----------
Thank you for temporarily disabling this cache for maintenance - it is appreciated. However, I've noticed that it has been disabled for a while now . . . . . . . somewhat more than the few weeks suggested in the [**Guidelines,**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#maint) so it's time for me to take some kind of action. I wish I didn't have to, but others are probably wanting to know what's going on 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, it is likely that I will, unfortunately, Archive the cache. Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then.

Please don't send me an email but instead follow the advice posted above.

This cache will be enabled once a new location is sought. Present position has been modified with a construction zone

TFTC The fence it was hanging on has been subjected to a terrible attack by a fallen tree but still findable maybe move it TFTC

May have been a 3 at some stage but now a very simple find - TFTC

Thank you for this find. Nicest shops close by and the find was easy but clever.

Nice easy find. TFTC.

A nice easy find

Finally found it. Great hide

Nice drive in on a very cold wet day
TFTC

Quickie but thank you for the cache.

Found by The Empire + H
A quick find as we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Thanks for the cache South-West.

There has been some wind damage in this area. The fence is definitely badly damaged by a tree limb falling on it. We did eventually find the cache amongst the debris and fallen from its hanging position! SL at 4.05pm We have put the cache back in a hanging position and hope it is no too far away from the posted co-ords. Maybe it is in a safer place now! #5170 TFTC South-West - as we make our way back to our accomodation in Anglesea.

We are Happy. We found it. Thank´s.

We are so happy. We found it. Thank you.

Didn't find it

Easy find! Cool cache

Miggy and Mini liked this cache. Tftc

Wasn't sure we could find this one . As i couldnt reach in with my wheelchair i sent half muggle mum to search while i pointed out places i wanted her to look. soon enough we found it.. with only a few owwws from prickly bushes

Mrs Lobb found this one quickly. Our second one in Australia.

This Cache seems to be missing, it has been replaced and a logbook added.. it's still hanging around. Happy finding.

Box thorn and a sea of native spinach ... we did not look very long, to be honest. Still we took away some souvenirs: Dead wattle flowers that attached themselves generously to our clothing, and prickles from the box thorn ... not too pleasant.
The cache may well be there, waiting to be found by someone who doesn't mind being attacked by the flora. Maybe we'll try it again during a different season.

A DNF for me today as I had small amounts of time in between a large numbers of cars going past or people walking. Went in and all around and came out with nothing. Thanks for the hunt

Unfortunately could not find it after 10 minutes. If cache was supposed to be here, it wasn’t.

Quick find! It was on the ground.

The so well Camp was the clue! Happy April Fools!

Found this one amongst many others during my holiday with my parents through VIC/SA. TFTC

not that easy to find this little one. But finally we found it

Found with sesblocker.
Great hide and love the container. We found within 10 mins but also understand how others couldn't find it.

Was just about to give up when I spotted it. Very well camouflaged!

Coords seemd to point a few meters beyond the fence - so apparently the accuracy was far from sufficient to nail the place down enough ...

7004
Bit searched about under 10 mins
Found it
Thanks South-West

Looked high and low for this one. Difficult this time of year as Muggles are very prevalent. Two of us over 10 very obvious minutes. No luck. I hate hanging micros in a forest of other hanging stuff. We might try again another time. Do hope its not over the fenceline.

TFTC Southwest.

I've tried finding this cache a coup of times before but walked away empty handed. Today was the day, and after a few minutes searching in all the same places, I spotted the cleverly camouflaged cache. Great hide - TFTC.

Today I was out for a caching trip down the coast with Neville_devil and Ausfox;.

After a short hunt Asufox; came up with the good here. Hopefully there are no houses built on the vacant block anytime soon as that would make thing very awkward hunting on the front fence line of someones property.

Thank you South-West for the smiley

Out for the day with Simsfamily and Neviile Devil to make our way along the Great ocean road.
Took a little time searching here then spotted the hide. Log signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for the Cache South-West

Nice find 5 thumbs up for you

Sneaky spot, but not sneaky enough for the sneakyninja

TFTC!
Took a little bit to find. Didn't see it the first time because of camp!

Nice find

Eventually found with geo-fiancee's help who happily got out of car to help. Found after 20 mins searching & using hints & previous logs. No muggles here, the bus must have just left. And the geo-dog went for a pee while waiting.

16:48
The serenity of the Otway Ranges was a far cry from the frantic festive season preparations going on in town! There was a carpet of flowers and the birds sang all day, as we set about converting some of the long outstanding green boxes to smiley tokens. No bushfires today, but we didn't feel particularly comfortable or safe searching here. The prickles are fierce! Eventually, persistence paid off and this little demon was spotted.

Our thanks to South-West for placing this cache.

Primile and I found the cache during our day trip along the Great Ocean Road. TFTC and cheers from Austria.

Three of us looked for a long time, but no finds.

Spotted after a few minutes searching. TFTC South-West

We are a group of NZ cachers on our 2 week mega trip enjoying the caches

Found with our Kiwi group doing a bit of a road trip after the Surf Coast Mega enjoying doing lots of site seeing and caching along the way is signed the log "Team NZ" thanks for the placement our down load had lots of dnf but we decided to give and it paid off

Checking caches after the big mega event. Cache all good. Happy caching

Geocaching has taken me on many adventures over the years all over Australia and overseas. It has also introduced me to a brilliant and diverse group of people, many of whom are now close friends.
Today I was lucky enough to be out and about with some of those friends and we targeted this cache.
Sorry for the late log, but thanks for adding to the adventure!

Thanks South-West for placing this cache.

We pulled up here with maccamob, The Coffee's & Micaparamedic to try our luck at this one.
We had been searching for quite a few minutes when Pacman arrived and added another pair of eyes. We searched high and low, in and out, over and under and were about to add our name to the list of DNF's when something caught our eye and sure enough it was the elusive cache, something bigger than what we had been searching for.
All we can say is Trust your GPS and your caching instincts and this one won't be as hard as we made it.
Thanks South-West for the cache.

Quick find. TFTC.

Cool. Found with Geniejoan. Cheers

Found at 5:37 PM GAFF4.
Well after so many finds since our DNF yesterday, the cache was nicely presented and fairly easy to find.
However it was a tough spot if it hadn't been exposed!
Thanks South-West.

After volunteering at the MEGA this morning and hearing that this cache had actually been found, I grabbed Mrs Tritonz and hot footed it out there. We were lucky that when we pulled up, 2y'stassies had the cache. It is in a sneaky spot and would be difficult to see when camoed. This time we did not get prickled...quite different from our other visits when we were concentrating in another area. Thanks South-West. We did do some CITO on our earlier visits.

Found by Mary & David, in company with our Anglesea housemates, at 1015. Plenty of eyes, but this one still took ages. We were aware that there had been a number of DNFs recently, but that someone had found it last night. After several minutes of fruitless searching, The Pacman arrived for his third visit. Shortly afterwards, Mr Crackers spotted something with the sun at just the right angle, and there was the cache. Cheers all round! Our thanks to South-West.

As we hadn't had anything to eat since our midday sausage in bread, we were getting rather peckish and straight after signing the log for this one, we headed back to Ocean Corner Cafe for one of those delicious pies we spotted in their pie warmer at breakfast this morning. Only when we got home did we find a 10% discount voucher in our bags for this little spot! TFTC South-West

After almost a year of preparation the Surf Coast Mega 2016 is finally here.
With no issues reported I had a pretty easy maintenance run, out west towards Moggs Creek and then east to Torquay. It was great seeing the positive vibe and cachers happily flying the geocaching flag all along the Great Ocean Road.
Driving past here I saw many cachers busy hunting. After logging 2 DNFs here, and one as recently as yesterday, I stopped to let them now the cache was probably missing as our group of about 20 yesterday had not found it. Still, we searched for another 10 minutes this morning again in a large group and as I was about to say "Told you so!", Team Crackers came up with the goods. How did he do that?! Of course I could have sworn we had all looked there... .
Seems so easy in hindsight. While it may be an easy find if left exposed, it can extremely tough when well covered. Thanks for the challenge, South-West.



While most people were out on the beaches and staying on the bitumen of the Great Ocean Road, I made my way to check out the gravel country roads.

McLookers and myself sneaked out of the Mega frivolities to grab this sneaky cache that we both had DNF'd previously. With better intel we thought we would be in for a chance on finding it this time but as it turned out, as we pulled up 2 Y's Tassies already had it in hand.
Thanks South-West for the cache, you certainly had us tricked on our previous visit.

Last day of our mini holiday adventure so we packed up the camper and hubby and I headed to Airey's with the kids for some last minute sight seeing and caching. This one took a few minutes as there was so much foliage everywhere! But thankfully I spotted it and added my name to the log. It could easily be a DNF though! Many thanks

We looked for this cache yesterday for about 30 minutes but without success. Today we returned and concentrated on a particular area. After a few minutes, the cache was located. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks South-West for the cache.

After finishing up at the Mega for the weekend we came here for lunch with Arkbell80 and our families. We nearly gave up on this one when Arkbell80 saw this out of the corner of his eye.
TFTC!!!

Day two of the Mega Event, and my first day free to go looking for caches. There are a couple of areas that have been trampled down by previous searchers, and I checked them out without success. Found a minute or two later.

My thanks to South-West for the cache.

Found It!
Spotted this one after a short search. No fires today...
TFTC

Day three of our SCE weekend...

After getting wet in some very crappy weather just around the coast we returned to this cache for a very quick find.

Thank you, South-West, for this cache.
#3814. Log signed at 1408Hrs.
(I often signed the log book as "W+W" to save paper/time/ink)

Our previous download had shown a string of DNFs but a quick check on the phone showed a find this morning so we headed over to find the log in another cachers hand so a quick find and sign. TFTC.

Out finding caches during the mega event. There were so many prickles and weeds last time I was here. Much neater now. Dnf last time. Not today! Found 2 secs after walking up!! It is not in the prickles, so avoid those. So glad to have this one ticked off now. Tftc.

Tftc . Nice easy find.

Log follows.

After having lunch at the park across the road myself and Bazinga01 went looking for this cache, we looked everywhere and I was about to give up and then there it was, the camo hides it well.TFTC

Very easy find, I think if you got a DNF here the cache wasn't in place at that time. Super easy.

**Found whilst attending the Anglesea Mega**

*Out and about with Tomboy, TR!, travellinbees and SnappyTomCats.*...

A fantastic weekend of fun, friendship and some caching thrown in for good measure.
Signed as Hawaii 8.0 (team name for the weekend)...
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment South-West. Really appreciate your efforts...

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Stamped log...

Didnt find this one, Looks like it's gone

### MEGA - The Surf Coast Event 2016 ###

----------

**DAY ´3**
Mega Event day

We went for a caching trip during the mega event and have also found this cache and have met many other cachers also.
Thank you for the nice spot and best regards from Germany
Team sissifalke

Out and about today whilst here at the mega event we stopped for this cache
The cache was found easily and soon we were on our way to more caching adventures
Our thanks to South-west for the cache

The Coffee's

There was a lot of us here and searching. There was also a lot of blood and prickles, unfortunately there was zero caches found.

Not Found. Had a quick look for this one while we were stopped for lunch but didn't have much time as we were competing in the Geocaching Tournament at the time.

Buoyed by our success on the elusive at Ash Wednesdey 7:30pm cache a large group of us made our way to Aireys Inlet.
Despite a very lengthy, thorough and painful search we had to eventually declare a DNF.
TFTH, South-West - you have us beaten on this one.

Not sure why but on the app, the 3 DNFs after we found it were actually not found BEFORE we found it. We found it about 7:30pm....do not despair, the cache is there. On a pc the logs are on order.

Had a good look around but no cache was revealed before I'd drawn too much blood so off to the next one, returned with the mob from the next one but even with so many eyes looking no cache was found
Thanks for the hunt South-West

DNF at 6:38 AM.
We spent some time searching, but couldn't see anything. We were on a run to get to 19,999, so we left it for another day.

I hope my photo does not give too much away...pls delete it if it does and apologies. So glad to find this after half and hour of searching and knowing it had 6 dnf. Yippeee

Lots of owies for a dnf. This is horrible

We could not see the cache.
We could not find the cache.
We could find and get jabbed and bled by all the bloody points on the trees (thats not swearing, my arms were bloody)
This seemed pointlessly difficult on the edge of seemingly private property

1:05 pm Sat 12 Nov 2016
Searched in the prickle busk along with about 10 or so other cachers, and even though some had special hints, PAFs etc., the cache couldn't be located.
Thanks anyway South-West

Here for the event and picking up some caches. What a blast!

No luck for me today.

Couldn't find it. Found a bag and a bottle but not the geocache.

We presumed we knew what we were looking for here but had no luck today.

Found it after not too long. Well camouflaged

We found reasonably quickly, a tricky little Hide, much simpler than you think!

A weekend down the coast with Leetalicious had us grabbing a few caches while enjoying this Great part of the world. Made this more diffiult than it needed to be, and after I untangled myself from the sharp spikes, made the find quite easily.
Thanks again South-West

Headed to this beautiful area with Bogonghazy for a couple of quick days away. Found this one while heading to drive the first part of the Great Ocean Road. Thanks for giving me another one ticked off and sending me to this lovely part of the country.

Not where I thought it was ! Don't over think it !

We hung around long enough for the find TFTC

A return visit, and this time this sneaky little devil finally showed itself and we were glad to walk away with this smiley. TFTC TNLN

Found on the way home from our weekend getaway to Lorne. TFTC

Second DNF in a row. I had a good look around GZ, but no smilie today. TFTH.

Was encouraged by some of the last finders posts. Will return some time.

Glad to finally put a smiley on this one.

My first search was fruitless, the second not much better.

Today a little quicker.

One of those you can easily look over.

But I was soon signing the log.

TFTC

Spotted by the sharp eyed cjfinda seconds after arrival at GZ. I was expecting quite a hunt and cjfinda let me know all about it (as all good geo sons should ......TFTC.
