This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed, as well as to remove it from search listings.
Please note that CO's of caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't always just pop out and fix the issue. Caches where the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain will not be archived.
#What should you do:-#
- Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so.
- **Alternatively,** what you need to do is place a Write Note log indicating a date when you you expect you might be able to attend to the issue/s.
#Please Note#
When I next check on the cache, if there is no acknowledgment from the CO as requested above, the cache will most likely be de-listed (Archived).

No luck for us today. We looked for about 15 minutes with no luck...we will be back..
Finally after a second attempt with troyfindz I have finally found it. Tricky little find, but found it in the end thank you all looks to be in good order may also need a new log 
Sadly no find today due to P players not leaving the place and doing burnouts didn't feel safe by myself sky had to leave after a short look but wow such a beautiful place can't wait to come back here and have another look..
That’s why I love caching - takes you to places (and roads that get you there) that you would never have known about otherwise! Thanks for bringing me to this nice little secluded spot with a babbling brook and all! And TFTC!

I was working in Gisborne this afternoon and need to de-stress with a cache or two.
Well, I've been here at least four times before this and always struggled and this finally, this time I walked straight to it.
Off my list at last

A very scenic cache here and a relaxing spot to boot. One of the best Jackson Creek locations so far.

Found this little one after a couple of tries, a few technical issues had me back here a few times but these were finally overcome and I got the little blighter.
Third time looking for this
1st time could not find it
2nd time interrupted by muggles
3rd time I had a better look and located the cache today where I know I had looked before
A 4wd came along and tackled the creek crossing at a fair rate of knots and I got the obligatory hat wave out of the window when they did it
A great little spot for a fish or a picnic as not very busy
Thanks Team Campion TFTC

Made my second trip back here today, partly to have a second look, and partly to show my partner the lovely spot.
One of the neighbours was target shooting off a bench rest around 50m away, which ruined the serenity a little bit, so we decided to focus on finding the cache, which we did after widening our search area a little bit. That's the thing about nanos - they could be ANYWHERE, so there are lots of places to search!

No joy here for me today. Lucky it's a beautiful area that I would be happy to return to.
What a great peaceful spot with picnic table and seats. Seemed (for once!) to go straight to the little blighter, T4TC
• Find #127 at 6:37am (night cache #6). Woke up early this morning, so instead of staying in the nice warm bed till the alarm went, what else do we geocachers do? Get out the winter woollies, beanie and gloves and explore the world we live in. Having a previous DNF lst time in the dark. I again consulted the map and tried to remember the location better as the GPS via the phone was limited last time & I don’t have my GPS with me at present. Being well before sunrise, I contemplated bring the generator and the overhead lights this time so I could see. I managed to find a more powerful torch this time so I was good.
• I approached down the steep dirt road in the dark again, parked and walked straight to GZ. Voila! Found it in 1 minutes this time. It was so tiny, no wonder I missed it. It took as long to extract the log as it did to find it, and even longer to put the log back into the cache as my fingers were so cold. P.S. the rubber water-tight seal is broken and needs replacing. SL was ‘Team B’ and continued on my way to work up the hill before first light. I wanted to challenge myself to find this one in the dark so I left it for when I was going to work. “Challenge accepted, & passed.”

Was an early morning start before work, not even the birds were up. At least there was no frost about. Had scouted out the area on the satellite map before to make it quicker. After driving down the hill into GZ in the dark, mobile phone reception was next to non-existent, so the GPS location of the cache couldn't be confirmed, nor could I re-check the hint.
As the moon was not even up, it was really dark using the torch to search. Looked and looked everywhere from 6:29am to 6:53am, nearly ended up in the water not realizing the water was so close to where I was crouching down under the bridge. Searched for 24 mins until 10 mins after I was supposed to continue my way to work. Came up empty handed. It's not always easy in the dark. Will have to come back again to have another look. You certainly get a different view of the country side in the dark tho. P.S. Didn't get time for to throw a line in for breakfast.

Found at 11.25am whilst out exploring the area around Riddells Creek.
A great little drive, scenic with winding rural roads.
Took a while to locate - Nanos!!
A great spot
Thanks

After participating in the Mount Dissa CITO #3, naturally our trip home was planned around a number of cache stops. This one took us longer than it should have, leaving no time for picnics or fishing.
Thanks Team Campion for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

A nice area for a drive on a warm Sunday afternoon. Took a little while to find but a very peaceful spot indeed. TFTC and bringing me here.
Found 10.30am
We really enjoyed the drive in from Sunbury to the creek crossing we have been to before. It took a bit of finding as we just kept looking everywhere but THERE. Glad to have found it and added our name to the log.

Many thanks Team Camion for giving us a reason to re-visit this place

Found by Team Ninja 15/11/16, find number 920.
I was lucky enough to have a day off work today so I went for a caching trip to Romsey and Lancefield during the afternoon. This was the first find of the day.
I had visited this spot previously to find the cache that used to be here. I recall it was back when I first started caching and it drove me crazy, taking several attempts to find it! With a bit more experience under my belt I found this one a little easier (although I still think someone should burn the nano factory!) and after a brief search I had my name in the log book. Plenty of water in the creek today after the recent rain.
TFTC Team Campion!

Part of my Father's Day present from my family was time to do whatever I please while they caught up with the in-laws... so I spent a few hours caching in and around Sunbury.
After a nice walk around the back of the old Asylum, I still had a bit of daylight left, so made my way through Goonawarra to try my luck on the hides placed since my last visit. Come sunset, I was back on the road, headed for a side of Clarkefield I'd never seen. Once I found the correct road, I followed it past the station and down... and down a bit more... then around a bend or two, and (you guessed it) down... until, finally, the bridge.
The little beastie took a short while to find, but groping around in the torchlight paid off in the end.
Thanks, Team Campion, for sending me off the well beaten track. Hilariously, I think the rest of the family passed me on the way up the Romsey Rd.

Suscoe and Bushfire decided to head off on a splendid Sunday drive up through Bacchus Marsh, Monegetta, Sunbury, Taylors Lakes, Werribee and then back home to Geelong.
301 kilometres all up, not a bad effort for a Sunday drive.
We had a terrific day out with bright sunshine for most of the day, a cold start with a biting wind, the temperature remained below 10 degrees for the day. Later in the day around the Werribee area and clouds started to wander in and a little bit of light rain kept us company for a short while.
We found quite a few caches as we went and saw some brilliant countryside. We were amazed at the urban sprawl growing steadily, so many new homes and some of them were ssssoooooooo bbbbiiiggg!!!!!
This was an unexpected gem in our day today, we came over the crest to the north and simply couldn't believe the view, amazing valley views as we descended towards the creek.
So arriving at the picnic table we set up morning tea and searched for the cache which thankfully popped into our hands after a relatively very short search.
Thanks to Team Campion for this cache, ticks the boxes big time with the location!!!!!!
A favourite from us.
So it was back to the cuppa and biscuits to soak up more of the views from near river level.
How good is this!!!!!!
The planes even provided an aerial display, so did the enormous flock of corellas just up the hill.

The ageing Bushfire was asked by my great caching friends the suscoe cachers if I would like to join them in a trip on Sunday. Never one to knock back an offer like this but did not know that we would drive up through Bacchus Marsh, Monegetta, Sunbury, Taylors Lakes, Tarneit and then back home to Geelong.
We had a great day, an extremely cold start as I had to remove the ice from the windscreen before I drove over to meet my mates.The wind chill factor must have been around zero at the start but improved later in the day.
At least after rugging up the day improved a little and the rain mainly held off with a few spots of rain just before we headed back to Geelong.
This is a great area for a cache to be placed and also for our morning coffee break.
The small creek was flowing nicely and it created a very peaceful setting where I could imagine a great location to spend a day or two just doing nothing.
The small container was soon discovered by Mr S so with the log signed it was time to enjoy out morning break.
Thanks Team Campion for placing this cache in such a charming location.

Today myself and the Geomutt Bentley head out for a cache around my old hometown of Riddells Creek and surrounds. There isn't many other places in Victoria I find as beautiful and tranquil as here. Weather held off just fine and no DNFs for the day!
A beaut little spot here, would love to follow all of Jacksons Creek one day but so much on private property.
Took me about half hour to find this, almost gave up.
Cheers and TFTC

For the spectacular view I give you a favourite point. Thankyou for sharing this spot with us. LS
What a great little spot. Reminded us of some spots in Scotland we visited. Thanks for bringing us here. A fav point for this. TFTC.
A lovely spot here very remniscent of parts of europe! Pity about the weeds though. Cache was found not far from my GZ after a moderate search.
Quick find once my silly GPS stopped sending me in circles. At one stage it seemed convinced GZ was in the middle of the bridge!! Luckily it's a quiet road and I only saw one car. Gorgeous area - been living here 12 years and haven't been out the back of Clarkfield, TFTC!
What a lovely picnic spot we had not visited before. The creek was flowing along merrily this am and it made a lovely sound. Nice little hiding spot for the nano! Thanks for bringing us here it was much appreciated.
TFTC Team Campion - we do enjoy finding your good cache hides in so many lovely areas.

A tricky geocache to find today. The co-ords were pretty much spot on but finding the little blighter was a much different story, We specnt around 10 minutes checking all the spider infested holes before finally lucking on the cache with the feel of a blind hand. A very nice area to come for a short visit with the water burbling nearby and the clear, peaceful serenity of the area. A very nice location indeed.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for this geocache and the experience here today.

What a lovely place. Even though we live fairly close we have never been along this road.
Have only been around here for 38 years or so. Looking for caches has taken us to lots of places we did not know were there. thanks Team Campion you can have a favorate for the view.

I have been here before and it was even better this time on a fine warm afternoon.
The creek was babbling and an abandoned jetski added a surreal addition to the experience.
Thanks Team Campion

Once apon a time there was another cache here called A little detour..., GC14291 http://coord.info/GC14291
It was washed away in a raging torrent of water, which is hard to believe when you consider the tranquility of the area. It's a nice spot to watch the world go by. If you catch this cache in the right season the hills are ablaze with Pattersons curse. Also note that your phone may not work way down here in the lowest part of valley. Load this one into your GPSr to be sure you can find it.

Another beautiful spot discovered thanks to geocaching. And a FTF for Team HurriKane. Not that we were out chasing FTF's but seeing as we were out having Devonshire tea with the grandparents at Woodlands Homestead when I saw this come up, I thought we could take the long way home. Crystal clear water, an absolutely beautiful spot & one the kids are keen to come back to for another play in the water. Thanks for showing us this place Team Campion.
