Unfortunately there has not been a response (or regular update) from the cache owner within the period requested and, as per the original advice, this cache is now being de-listed (Archived) as abandoned.

If there are components or remnants of the cache, please recover them as we don't want to litter our environment.

If you wish to contact a Reviewer regarding this cache, please send an email via the profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the Cache Name and GC Identification Code.

----------

Hi there South-West,

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 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 to check, repair, 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 don't have a crystal ball, so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, or you have been in hospital, or the area is in flood, 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 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 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.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Bunjil

There is no cache just a chain of zip ties

DNF - found spot where should be but appears cache not there as others suggested.

Not there just chain of zip ties where cache should be

Hard

Found sign and chain but no container

The cupboard is bare. Jenne G and Budgy.

Found where we think it should be but nothing there, just a broken chain made of zip ties on back of board.

What a gorgeous little spot here. Driven through lots but never stopped. Kids had an icy pole as now too cold for beach. Cache in need of maintenance unfortunately. Thanks!

Nice quick find. Beautiful beach location

Quick find in a picturesque locale. TFTC

staying at the big 4 with friends! great spot TFTC

It is right next to the beach look closely.
This one is cool

We found it!! Took a little bit but the clue helped

Tftc easy find

TFTC

After reading previous logs and hints in the description we had a mindset for where the cache would be hidden, failed twice, phoned a friend who had found it where we had looked and had one last look to find it STRAIGHT AWAY!! on the ground! Logged and put back where it would best fit( although may fall on the ground again) TFTC

Thanks

After a week of lockdown in Geelong, with a lab adventure or two on our regular walks we were blessed with the opening of restrictions to get back to the normal again and get away on holidays down to Apollo Bay... And to get back to the regular old caches as well. We had been on a nice walk in Kennett River and seen a few Koalas as well but fancied heading down to Wye River as well. We parked up almost right next to this one, thanks to the Great Ocean Road being quieter than ever we didn't have too much muggle trouble. We signed and were on our way to explore the beach. Thanks for the Cache South-West

I found it

Great small one

Took a little longer than needed. But, all good at gz. TFTC.

We found your cache while staying at the caravan park overnight and out for a walk in the afternoon. It was a very quiet afternoon in town. We feel grateful to finally be out and about and able to enjoy some travelling time.

Thank you for your cache and adding to our road trip memories.

Quick easy find thanks to the hints in the description. TFTC!

A fun one to find whilst on holiday! Thank you! H&M

A few brave kids down in the water this evening - too cold for us! TFTC

Cool cache

TFTC

Small little cache - bring a pen

A long weekend meant a family camping trip to Wye River. And of course a cache or two. Easy walk to this one from campsite. Magical location. Thanks for the cache

Saw a little rat scurrying around.

Nice hide geo hubby stood guard as I retrieved the cache thanks

Quick Find TFTC

Found on a trip on the Great Ocean Road with XR400Sim

A small group nearby, but geo-wife ran interference whilst retrieval and return. T4TC

Quick grab as there was very few people around. Tftc

Quick find breaking the drive back from Apollo Bay. Must've been very big surf here yesterday.

Behind the Respect sign.

Quick find today. Where would you rather be on a "12 degrees but feels like 5" day? Inside by the fire, or out caching? TFTC.

Found by Isla and Koh, no pen so did not sign. Read the clue.

A short weekend getaway to this beautiful and familiar area to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. After a lovely lunch at the WR Hotel we decided to go for this one.

Even with a wedding about to start at the hotel and being a weekend, thankfully the muggle wait out wasn't too long as LL could see what was needed. Why do my shoelaces keep coming undone? Def would be a tricky spot when busy.

A lovely day here. TFTC

Good spot, beautiful location, no damage. Thanks a bunch

Follow the clever hint. No muggles today, must be scared of clouds and wind.

!!

Easy one thanks, detour on way to kennett

G

Found but no pencil

Thanks, found with J*Delux

Found it. Was a little difficult with so many people around. But after everyone was on the beach managed to put back. Great spot. Love this part of the coast.

Beware of snakes.
A copper snake lives near this cache.

Good spot

Fun find with 3 kids and their cousin

I waited a short time for someone to leave GZ and raced in. I found the cache pulled apart and the log on the ground, I didn't find a pencil....
When I turned around there were nine muggles here, where did they pop up from?!! I had a seat and signed the log, making sure to wind it up tight enough to replace, then I waited. And waited. It was about 30 minutes before I could replace it. Very busy on xmas eve. The cache is back together in one piece in it's hidey spot.
Great for locals to see a bustling tourist community here this holiday season. Lovely spot, I'm staying for xmas
TFTC

Easy find after sundown with not many people about. TFTC.

Great spot

So lovely to be out of lockdown and able to travel out of Melbourne to enjoy this beautiful coastline. An easy find. Thankyou

Nice part of the world

Me and my dad loved it. Great hiding spot for beginners

Wow even on a quiet day, that's a tough call to get without anyone seeing, haven't done a cache for a while, TFTC and respect for sure! DD

We found the cache very fast. Beautiful beach

Got it first time.

I see what you mean about having to be stealthy. We took 2 attempts because muggles were sitting nearby. We went for a drive in between attempts. Good spot. I like Wye river. We used to camp here many years ago. Thanks.

Still intact, paper slightly wet

This was only the second one we have ever found (beginners), and couldn’t believe how tiny it was! Need your own pen

Good fun

Pretty easy to find but really fun to find my first one!!

It was the holdings first one!!

Din it! I like this kind of clue

Respect to all the firemen who fought against the bushfires this year!
Many thanks for the cache and its message,

Merry Christmas TFC

Merry Christmas TFC

Easy find but tricky waiting for muggles to wash the sand off their feet as they leave the beach. Sooo long, there can't be that much sand between your tootsies, people. TFTC

Victoria Day 6: The Great Ocean Road from Geelong to Apollo Bay

Today’s the day we set off on our Great Ocean Road journey from Melbourne. The plan is to spend two days traversing the route from east to west, and enjoy the sights as we go along. The first stop was Geelong for some caches, food and the views, before heading down the road for lunch at Lorne and finally resting at Apollo Bay. Great views and great sights along the way, which we thoroughly enjoyed.

This is the specific log for this cache:
Quick toilet break for the family, while I seek this one out. The title helped immensely here to narrow the search, and the cache was quickly found. TFTC!

LOG: 18:30
Das kleine Döschen konnte ich rasch und unauffällig finden und mich ungestört in das Logbuch eintragen.

This is such a goodn! TFTC
V lil but worth looking

TFTC. Cool lil spot!

A quick stretch the legs stop on our way around the Great Ocean Road and the muggle missus says to me, "There'd have to be a cache there!", looking at the memorial near us. So, I pulled out my phone and yes, she was right, sort of. A cache did indeed show up on the geo-map about 20m away from us, but away from the interesting landmark that she had spotted.

A quick find ensued and then we were on our way, with my holiday streak still intact. Thanks south-west.

Definitely a micro not a small. Good hint and quick find although I did have to stick my head in the bush.
TFTC

Found it! The hint was very helpful. Beautiful beach too. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I replaced the cache in the same spot as the container has gone missing

With friends 3 weeks on the road to explore Tasmania and South Australia. We experienced great landscapes, people and animals. By the way, many caches were also visited. Thanks for the great impressions. Here we met Lis and Pete. Greetings from Germany.

Found together with Threefoot on holiday. The log was soaking wet, it has to be a photo instead. Greetings from Sweden . TFTC

We found the tube on the ground with a very wet logbook. We replaced it on its lid. See LBTW photo. Swedes on vacation in Australia. Found together with LBTW. TFTC. Greetings to from

Good excuse for a stop

The cach we found at a rainy day. But it was verry wet inside, so i dont let my sign there. Thanks for this cache

Found it today at a rainy day but I couldn’t sign it because the book was too wet ..

Bit wet
