We can't see ourselves getting here in the near future with other commitments we will let this one go.

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###

----------

Hi there The_Tritonz,

It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is an issue. The cache has been temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed.

**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 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 logs of praise to roll in.

- **Place A Write Note Log::-** Reviewers are not mind readers (unfortunately), so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, you have been in hospital, the area is in flood, or some other reason that has prevented attending to the cache, they can't tell what is going on.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) and when a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
**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 the page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks, so as to keep everyone up to speed.**

- **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 those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when a Reviewer next looks at the cache page, it is likely that they will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) 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.

**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,

Weekend away & a couple of caches.
TFTC

Nice spot for a final test

An easy walk from our accommodation in town. A warm overcast afternoon. Quick easy find. TFTC

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

This was a nice easy find here today.
Steep walk up to the cemetery here which made us wonder how hard the funerals were back in the day.
Thanks for the hide.

Found with McAdies and Jelly_bean14.
We enjoyed finding this geocache during a holiday in the area.
Thanks for the cache hide.

Found with McAdies and Geo_Eddie.
We are on school holidays and enjoyed a few days away exploring the area.
Thank you for placing the geocache for us to find today.

Please note the hint and the red text on the cache page, clearly reads bottom level. No need to climb or drive up to the second level. Follow the distinct geotrail.

Like others the gps wandered and so did i but found it after a little searching.

Found it wasn’t where u was looking originally thanks

Found whilst dodging scrutiny from cars. Quick find. TFTC

TFTC

Gps did not lead to the correct place, and we went to far uphill but found it on the way down. TFTC!

Off on a short road trip with the family to visit the 12 Apostles and had spent the night in Port Campbell. On the way out of town we stopped off to search for this cache. I don't remember seeing a cemetery with quite such distinguished sections as was the case here. I searched from the wrong level initially before correcting and after a quick search spotted the hide. Thanks for the cache The Tritonz.

Thank you for the Cachie

Found it

My wife and I had just spent the night at Port Campbell and decided to start our day to Warnambool with a coffee. In the main drag we pulled into a place that called itself a cafe and advertised coffee but when I jumped in the car I was drinking something made with hate and not love.

Thank goodness there was a cemetery to visit because my coffee had died. I didn’t have time to fashion a headstone for it nor did it deserve one. No longer will I feel bad for the people with headstones that have cracked and crumbled. I’m sure they’ve never had to go through the awful experience of having to bury a full coffee. tftc

A quick day trip down this way and time to grab a few caches. With a phone having me uphill and down this took longer to find than it should have TFTC The Tritonz

Super fun to find wasn't where I expected!

I loved looking for this cache! It was in a great hiding place.

Pouring with rain, slippery, and but a smiley faceThanks for the cache

Always drove past but today stopped to pay my respects. TFTC

Found it. Map doesn’t take you to the correct spot but found on the way down

Nice easy find on a cold wet and windy day exploring the area tftc

Found while on our long weekend winter getaway to Peterborough with our geopup.
TFTC

Day 2 of road trip to Adelaide with gwd.aussie. Passing through we were stopping to grab caches that helps us with the Victoria Country Road Atlas Challenge. Arrived to find a gentleman looking at some of the graves while lady was waiting in the car. Finally they moved on and we were able to make the find now in to Port Campbell for lunch.

Thanks The Tritonz

Had to wait for other visiters to move on.
Before searching too far up the hill.
But found in the end.

Out caching with D@geo on the way to South Australia.
Thank you for the cache The_Tritonz

Please note the cache page does include that the cache is found on the LOWER section

I decided to do a road trip along the Great Ocean Road this week. It’s been a long time since I travelled along this area and it was certainly before I was into caching! Leaving the glow worms of Melba Gully behind, today I’m heading further west towards Warrnambool and beyond.

I stopped in at Port Campbell for some lunch, but not before quickly grabbing this cache. After deciding it was at the top, after driving there I soon discovered it was not as previous logs suggested. At the correct elevation, the cache was soon discovered and the log signed.

This sure was an interesting cemetery given the terrain and layout!

Thanks The_Tritonz for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to find.

Caching trail not the right spot for caching
Found on way back dowm

Quick find between cars.
On a road trip from Perth to Canberra with a few side trips for LGAs and now the Great Ocean Road. TFTC

Found with Jorien16. TFTC!

Found with Tim while recovering from the Great Ocean Walk in Port Campbell. Lovely spot, TFTC.

Was closer to the bottom of the hill than I thought, found after a while. Tftc

Found it

Travelling through this area and just had to stop at this cemetery . Firstly to pay our respects to a favourite cousin and her family , secondly to locate this cache, which we did. Such a lovely quiet spot. Thanks to The Tritonz.

Amazing views

Tftc

Quick find. Beautiful old cemetery. TFTC

Find 101 - on Valentine’s Day!

A micro... in this terrain... after sundown... with just the light of my phone? What was I thinking? Well I gave it a good crack before discretion and concern for the way my CotE might be worrying caused me to give up the hunt.

Looked for ages and walked in circles. GPS is a bit off. First cache!

Good one ... TFTC

Zigged when I should have zagged, but found it!

After taking some lovely sunset photos of the apostles we came back into town to find this cache and tick off another LGA
TFTC

Walkwd here from town, only to find that my pen was out of ink. I tried to mark the date, and managed to scrawl HELP on the log! If the next person can add kayguevara from 13/1/2022, that would be great!

Great clue! Don't think I would've found it as quickly otherwise

Wow, there's a bit of history in here alright - some of it very sad. Drove up the top, had a hunt, found it then did a bit of reading. Thanks for the hide.

No parks in town, so dropped family off to get ice cream and stopped by this quiet little spot. Wondered if was a Tritonz, cemetery and quality container. Came back in and park right out front. Perfect!

First we searched uphill, and when we turned back I saw it.
TFTC

What a peaceful place - TFTC

Long long looking. But Bingo bango I finally claimed the find - that dodgy phone had me 7 m out but then it’s more than a tad cloudy. Glad a stopped by yet another interesting cemetery. End of the day too and a great day at that exploring this fabulous coastline. It’s been rugged and wild dodging raindrops and being in awe of the huge crashing waves and dramatic clouds.

TFTC. We love checking out every cemetery we find. - a bonus when there is a cache there too.

Great spot. Very interesting

We were almost back to our accommodation and noticed the cemetery at the T intersection. We remembered there was a cache there, so we pulled into the parking area and went in search of the cache. On the way to GZ, we stopped and read a few of the headstones; old graveyards are one of the places we find really interesting. We then headed uphill. We miscalculated and went too far up the hill, which gave us a great view of the cache as we were coming back down. The cache is in superb condition and so sturdy that we suspect it will still be in great condition for many years. Thank you for this cache The_Tritonz.

GPS took us all over the place but think the most obvious spot and you’ll find the cache. Of course getting a bit off course gave us the chance to discover some bees who had made their hive in a fallen log - check out the honeycombs! TFTC

Took a little bit of searching but we found it! Pretty sure we heard a ghost too!

Nice little find by Ben. Beautiful spot. TFTC

Closest cache to home. TFTC.

Nice one thank you

Last day of 4 at Port Campbell. Used this pretty town as a base to explore the Shipwreck Coast. Was in Warnambool last night at the Light Show on a clear crisp night.
A morning jog/walk for me as the sun came out.
Had been to the Loch Ard Cemetery and moved. This one has the locals and a cache that was soon found ( and dry and in good order )after circling on the hill chasing a few geotrails. Thanks The_Tritonz for the cache and the walk. I looped up the hill following the road for the view and back via the swing bridge.

Nice cache but not enough time to have a good Squizz at the cemetery but saw some really old graves
TFTC

Sandy, Craig and 2
Cache in good nick, found in a couple of minutes
TFTC

We arrived behind another car we thought were either muggles or fellow geocachers. They left without leaving their car though so we had the place to ourselves. Did this one the hard way though.... had to widen my search and lower my altitude but soon had cache in hand. Tftc

Interesting spot. Lots of history here. Found the cashe easy enough

Thanks for the cache.

up and find amongst the trails and trees. tftc

Luckily we were heading down to Port Campbell today on other business enabling us to check on this cache. We are happy to report the cache is still there and waiting to be found.

Did not have any luck here today sadly, did lots of wandering in circles and thought i had found the spot, but no luck. Maybe another day.

On a road trip to Western Victoria, picking up random caches as we check out the area. This was was day 2 of the 16 day trip and currently camping at Port Campbell Recreation Reserve. The GPS had Mr Pooky bush bashing around in circles without luck. He was just about to give up when walking back down and with some direction from Mrs Pooky he eventually made the find, a lot lower than where the GPS was taking him. TFTC and bringing us to this quaint little cemetery.

Quiet spot to rest. Cache found in vg condition, log signed.

Took me a while

Very great pretty easy but fun

What a great little cemetery and I love a cemetery cache. I could this little chap quickly and easily while visiting this fascinating geological area. Victoria rocks, why holiday elsewhere?

Found this one whilst visiting my parents in PC.
Nice cache to start 2021, happy new year.
Great container in great condition. Plenty of room left on the log
This was my first cache outside of QLD, I hope more Victorian caches are this well maintained.

In town for a short pre Christmas holiday. I was up early today before the rain for a nice walk in and an easy find in this historic cemetery. Thanks.

I needed a cache to break the drive. This was in the perfect location! Quick find after scurrying around like a billy goat in the most inappropriate footwear... thongs!!!! TFTC

A peaceful resting place. TFTC

Finally signed my name in the log.

This is my 3rd visit here.

First time I parked up top and with my GPS bouncing around I was unable to find the cache.

Second time here I managed to find the cache from the lower level, but didn't have a pen with me. Doh.

Third time was quick and easy as I'd already done the hard work.

Thanks for the placement of this cache. A good quality container that will last for many more signatures.

My ancestors grave facing it directly
Meant to be. Second find! Glad I've stepped out of the muggle world.

Visited with Queen Khalee and her mum who has family graves in the cemetery. Have now introduced them to geocaching.

Thanks for this cool find! We loved the container you used.

It’s a spectacular day so we all just have thongs on, our feet are dirty but we loved checking out this spot.

Thanks again

Replaced cache today with a, hopefully, better waterproof preform. Happy hunting.

Found, nice spot

Found this on Saturday 3rd with chief spy Helen, read Hints, then she said " Is this what you are looking for". Very cunning hide.

Thankyou for the cache the Ewoks Interesting place to stop

Wow! What an adventure
Up the hill and down again... take note that you don’t have to be a billy goat to find it

Wow.. that took some time. We probably looked like fools. But what fun. If you think you have gone too far you probably have.

Goodness this took a bit of finding but found it in the end when one of us basically touched it by accident

????

It was a geocacher gathering here. Head high

What a find! Luckily we were hunting at the same time as others and with a few more heads working together we managed to find it. TFTC

When pulling up I could clearly see where to head into the trees but as the track split up my gps started jumping. Putting the phone away it was time to use my eyes. After ducking to a toddlers height I could finally see it and sent geo kid in the right direction. TFTC.

Coords a bit off but it was obvious which way to go. Nice quick find, it was a little steep. TFTC

Tftc!

Great hide.

GPS was a little unpredictable for me at this location , so there was a bit of Bush bashing before finding the correct location.

We followed the Great Ocean Road to Port Campbell. All these breathtaking views and spectacular rock formations, the perfect place for earthcaches indeed.
For a change, here we found a nice traditional, Mr Bear was pleased.
Afterwards we swapped books at the swap shed.
