As there has been no response to the last request/s to attend to this cache, or provide regular updates, the cache is being de-listed on the basis that it has been abandoned by the Cache Owner.

If there are components or remnants of the cache, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Georubbish.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.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

If you wish to contact me regarding this cache, 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 regular 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) by 10th August,** 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:

- Repair and/or Replace your cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) 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 don't plan on fixing it up then please [**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.

- 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 (by 10th August). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today it is likely that I will unfortunately have to 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 instructions posted above.

No sign of it

Watch out for cyclists

Needs maintenance. Great place.

Found in the company of e.gregory1 during our geocaching foray in the Goolwa and Victor Harbor area for the day. Thanks for the cache Team_Victor_Harbor!

Found on a visit to Goolwa today with FeatherWaite. Thanks Team Victor Harbor for the cache.

Enjoying a drive to Middleton with earthlight. Finding a few caches along the way and hopefully revealing some Hidden Creatures souvenirs
Found quickly and managed to stamp our names on the wet log. Have turned upside down to keep the coming winter rains out but needs replacing as no lid and rusted.

#3002 After spending the past week in Goolwa, in fact only 100m from this cache, we thought we better grab it before we leave tomorrow. Our final find for the day made with the geohounds after a short walk from the backdoor on sunset . We did bring the bikes, but.... anyway TFTC Team Victor Harbor.

Remember riding this bikeway quite a few years ago now a hot day for riding today, made this one into a almost driveby quick find the challenge was finding a spot to sign in the log book

A quick find on a cold and windy day. Didn't see any bike riders. They would have had a head wind both ways.

Beware muggles!

Found it!

Had an afternoon visit to Goolwa planned, so decided to leave a little earlier and do some caching.
Glorious day and a lovely walk along the bikeway to find the 2 caches in this area.
Had to engage some delaying tactics waiting for the woman in the house overlooking the cache to go back inside.
Thanks Team_Victor_Harbor

Interesting hidden park.
Thanks for the hide.

Found on the ground, returned to where I think it should be.

Lost my pen between pt elliot and goolwa. Photo is evidence of find.

TFTC

An easy find, but our first log. TFTC

Tftc! Beautiful homes here!

We walked across the park/oval to get to this one so the hound could explore and stretch her legs a bit. A quick find at GZ. TFTC

Good Friday find. Beautiful morning for geocaching.

Tftc.

Kids found this one nice and easy. Staying at a house just across the road for the weekend, so perfect location! TFTC

Found by The Boofs TFTC

Spider webs

2nd find for the day

I really must get a bike and do this ride. TFTC TVH.

Riding the track from Goolwa across to Victor Harbour to see the TDU then return. Nice pathway all the way for a ride. TFTC

Yep. Been here before for a previously archived cache under the nearby bush. [link text](https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC3HMJ1_scrubx3)
Funny though, that the 'nearly FTF' finder on this one never mentioned they used to have one here! lol
Anyways, quick hide and find between muggles. Can actually see it from the path.

Thanks

TFTC. Found on my Sunday run from Middleton

Quick and easy find

Nice easy find! TFTC!

Nice little find on the bike way

A nice quick find while passing by today.

Mrs J's parents used to live not far from here, so we sometimes call past to check out the old neighbourhood. There's always something new to see when visiting Goolwa!

Thanks Team Victor Harbor.

Tftc

Found it

I like it

Were attempting to ride from Goolwa to Victor but were stopped about 400m along the path by floodwater after the recent storms. Quick find before heading odf to find another route. TFTC.

Quick drive-by find by Ay. Have been past this spot so many times and never thought to nosey around for a cache.

Out with CPWanderer, hevwalker & Good Look.
A quick, easy find. Thanks for the cache Team Victor Harbor

Found whilst out caching with geobuddies CPwanderer, Hevwalker and Clare007, we started in Mount Barker and meandered around Goolwa, Middleton, Port Elliot and Victor Harbor - some of my most favourite places in Australia [^]. Today we were blessed with beautiful weather.

A few significant walks today, but mostly quick park and grabs whilst soaking up the lovely locations we visited whilst searching for caches.

Thanks for the cache

I looked in the obvious spot, missed it, looked somewhere else... meanwhile Apty looked where I looked the first time and found it... dooh! LOL Thanks for bringing us here; interesting area! Watched some waves and picked out 'my' house. TFTC

Beautiful day, great find!!

TFTC

Mostly sunny Sunday caching adventures on a long weekend. Picking up the few I haven't found around Goolwa.
An easy find with the hint and all.

2:45 PM - Find #1924

Found it ! Our first geocache found.

Well hidden

A quick and easy find today. Thanks Team Victor Harbor.

Thanks for putting one at the end of the bike way. Nice ride and easy to find!

Yes

Tftc

Mr Tardis and Mr Scoobster were down in Goolwa for a morning's caching. On the way back to Victor we stopped by here to find this one after a short search.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Team Victor Harbor.

Camping down at victor time for some caching.

Lets get all the caches on Hindmarsh Island and some along the way.

TFTC

Cache was found in the second place we looked, which as usual was not the first place we looked. It was either one or the other.

This cache was found using a Garmin GPSr, Montana 650t, Oregon 550 or Dakota 20. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

Sneaky little hide. Hint helped. Tftc

Done at Goolwa for the weekend. Initially I thought this was one we had found before and somehow failed to log. But no it appears that one was archived and this one has appeared in it place. Out of the morning bike ride to the Bluff so stopped here to check the obvious spot. Found fairly quickly. As has been mentioned this container will not enjoy the elements and is already showing orange in places. In addition the log is damp and may benefit from a plastic bag. Unfortunately I did not have one with me on the bike.
