Hi there Cache Owner,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **possibly** needs 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 the cache is being temporarily disable - 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 you need to do:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache** - once checked, place an Owner Maintenance log and then enable the cache.

- **Place A Write Note Log** - indicating a date when you expect it will be restored.

- **Adopt Out or Archive** - depending on whether you want it kept or for it to disappear.

Full details for each of the above choices can be found at [**GEOCACHE MAINTENANCE**]( https://wiki.groundspeak.com/display/GEO/Victoria) on the Regional Policies page.

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. [xx(]

Found a feather hidden behind a piece of wood in the way of geocaches, but we did not find the cache itself. May have been washed away in the floods

Found a while ago.

Obvious where it was. No longer here.

Seems like we found the obvious place but nothing there.

Southern Autumn adventure Day 56. Mildura Trip Day 5. Everyone from Canberra has now headed off and I have a couple more days here. I did move from Red Cliffs to Mildura Central today, so that took all the morning. Once I was set up, I headed down to the river by the Psyche Pumps to try and get to as many of the caches in that area done before it got too dark and then do a night multi. Apart from getting cold, I was really happy at how well the area has dried out after the flooding, and it is excellent that so many caches have been repaired or replaced this year. That is very encouraging.

With so many DNFs, I did not spend too long, but I did enjoy my walk in this wonderful area.

Thanks.
Albida

Went to the obvious spot but DNF GZ was confirmed by photo, looked to see if I could see it else where but couldn't.

Based on previous photos and the hint, I'm pretty sure this one is gone.

I think it may have washed away in the floods.

Very hard to get to

Marker is off a bit

Got the shoes a bit muddy after the rain this morning

In Mildura for the weekend visiting rellies & Geokid (9 years) & I were keen to find some caches in another state (than our home state SA) as well as fill in a gap on our caching calendar. We parked at the lookout & enjoyed a leisurely stroll down to GZ where geokid & her 10 year old cousin made a quick find. TFTC

TFTC, easy find using the hint. Grass a bit overgrown to walk through.

Daddy

found it !!

pretty solid spot and nice area - from nico, ethan, gogi and aaron.

Soilid spot with a great scenic view!! from Nico, Ethan, Gigi and Aaron

We were enjoying a walk along billabong lake when my partner found this geocache, hence our introduction to this game!

Good geo!

Great spot

??

Found with hubby and four kids

What a lovely day out in and around King’s Billabong. Lots of campers on the river. Didn’t quite get the area cleared, so will be back but not on this trip. Highlights for today included wildflowers, river views, and a surprise encounter with a wriggly stick

Walked directly down from the bus stop on the road, and hopped a small water-filled gully to get to GZ. What the heck is that doing here? Bet it doesn’t get many visitors. Nearly made a fatal mistake by heading towards the water and ducking under the willow tree, thinking it would be an easier route out of GZ and avoid crossing the gully. A metre or so in front of me a snake slithered into the reeds with the sole intention of avoiding getting stepped on... Whew! Back I went to GZ and out across the gully Kept my scruffy shoes dry.

We like to go walking and this cute spot we had never seen before!! Such a good view of the billabong!!!!

Very nice did see a kangaroo

Wonderful hide

Evilracing found this today

jamoncol found it!

Quick bush bash through the long grass to an easy find. It's in good condition. Thanks for placing it.

Thanks for bringing us to see such a lovely view. A quick find. TFTC

Jump the fence

Yay

Easy find definitely dry weather though

Go in dry weather

Bit of bush bashing involved, glad I came in the cooler months, less likely to come across a snake. Quick find and a nice peaceful place for reflection.

*Staying in Mildura for a few days*

In town with Happy pants, Happy Feet, The Empire, omegaman1971 and Rebel Acts for a few nights and to clean up the Paddle Steamer Geo Art Trail and a few other series if time permitted.

After coffee there was still some daylight left so we headed out of town grabbing a few scattered caches. A nice little area to explore and a great day had by all.

Thanks for the cache Princess Peach 25. Appreciate your efforts.
Stamped log and returned as found.

In town for a few day with the crew to hit the nearby powertrails and put some smiles on the map.
Has been many years since I was here last , the town has certainly changed.
Cheers for the cache

Found by The Empire
Here in Mildura for a few days with Snap Happy, omegaman1971, Happy Feet, Happy Pants and now joined by Rebel Acts.
We'd just smashed out the geoart, but we still had some daylight left and decided to head into town for a coffee and a slice. We found a few caches along the way, then after our snack we realised there was some more daylight left and our day (the biggest day of geocaching for most of us) wasn't over just yet. Thanks for the cache Princess Peach 25.

This was a great opportunity to get away with some caching friends in Mildura. The plan was to hit some of the local trails and geo art. There was many other hides discovered, with some really great containers and hides in the area.

A nice little area to explore, and find a cache.

Thanks Princess Peach 25 for placing the cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy the find.

Found by Rebel Acts

In Mildura for a few days with Snap Happy, omegaman1971, Happy Feet, Happy Pants and The Empire. After having these solved for some time and holds up getting here due to Covid the planets had finally aligned and today was the day to do the The Paddle Steamer Series and a few other caches in the area.

We had a great day out on the trails with perfect weather for caching with all caches in the series found.


Thanks Princess Peach 25 for the cache.

Thanks for the cache found with muggle hubby on our Mildura holiday

TFTC! ️

Cheers

Nice find in a quiet corner of the world.
Kings billabong never looked this good when I was a kid.

Found on a trip from Adelaide to the Mildura area for a few days of caching with Team Waldron, Brisal5 and FeatherWaite. Our main targets were the Paddle Steamer and Turtle geoart series' but we also took the opportunity to seek out a few other caches along the way.

We were fortunate with the weather. After a burst of very hot days, we timed our trip nicely to coincide with the milder conditions before the next hot spell. That helped to make both the caching and the camping along the Murray River and in the Murray-Sunset National Park very pleasant.

We ended up finding all the caches that we had targeted. Most were in good order. Some of the puzzles were quite challenging and there were some very novel and entertaining multi's. Some certainly took a bit of finding and there were many very clever and/or tricky caches and containers that were a credit to the cache owners’ ingenuity.

It would have been good to have had another day or two to complete the remaining caches in the area, but I’m sure we’ll be back.

Thanks to all the cache owners for the hides.

Over from SA for 4 days of caching with Egregory1, Featherwaite and Brisal5.

We came primarily to do the Paddlesteamer series but picked up orthers as we drove around.

Apologies for the generis logs.

All caches we found were in good order.

Thanks to all cache owners whose caches we found.

TFTC

***Generic Log unless something special above this line.***

I have seen a T shirt with Sleep Eat Cache Repeat [^] Well a four day trip to Mildura with caching friends Team Waldron, E.gregory and FeatherWaite certainly fit that bill. Logs were signed with initials only for the teams - BEFW

Up at daybreak, quick breakfast and cache all day stopping only to have a snack whilst out on the trails, rush to set up camp near dusk for a meal, then perhaps some night caching, early night and REPEAT!

Strategic camping at Kings Billabong, Rocket lake and The Common meant we were close by the Geoart and target night caches. Two previous trips in 2013 and 2016 by me and some by E.gregory meant we visited some (well quite a few actually) previous finds but that made it quick for the people that hadn't found them previously.

I can't thank the CO's of these caches enough as some were really very inventive. Even having solved most puzzles before we came we were confronted with field puzzles and gadgets that were just mind boggling. [:X][:X][:X]

***Thanks Princess Peach 25 for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

Found during a trip from Adelaide to the Mildura area for a few days of caching with Brisal5, e.gregory1 and Team Waldron with the main aim to complete the Paddle Steamer and Turtle GeoArt series but also to find other caches along the way. We camped out on the banks of the Murray River near Mildura on the first night, at Rocket Lake campground in the Murray-Sunset National Park on the second night, then back to the banks of the Murray River near Merbein on the last night. We signed the logs as B.E.F.W. Thanks to all the cache owners for placing the cache!

Lovely morning stroll

Hubby wandered to the cache along with Hans, he said that it is a lovely place and that the cache is in good condition. SL TFTC

Hi there Princess Peach 25.

We found your cache **"Mystical Hollows."** at 9:45:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 24693).

We're staying in Mildura to hunker down over the current Victorian lockdown. to get our exercise today we decided to attempt some local caches as well as some more of the "Turtle" series. We found 12 caches & DNF'd 0.

Thanks for placing this cache here. Over the years, Geocaching has taken us on many adventures and to lots of wonderful destinations all over Australia. Without 'caching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our nomadic wanderings. 'Caching has also introduced us to a diverse group of like-minded people, many of whom we now call friends.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache close to where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The cache was soaked, we spent some time drying it out, but it still needs some "Owner TLC".
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Smiley Badge

Thank you Princess Peach 25 for adding to our adventure.

Regards

Ian & Penny

Found at 11:25 AM GAFF1.
We were staying just up the road at Doheng's place and we couldn't remember why we didn't find this cache when we were here last year - maybe too man other things going on?
A short walk and then we were surprised to see benches and picnic tables nearby.
Thanks Princess Peach 25

Easy as niggers

Enjoying dusty Mildura this week. Seriously. half the mallee topsoil followed us into town
We are holidaying together as a family team, so logs with the team Mattycat stamp include Purrfect Di, Jack, and Sebastbat as well as teen muggle Alex.
Some may get some initials as well All have made us smile
Mildura and surrounds certainly have some notable caches.
Many well constructed hides and clever clues. Well done to the local caching community

Nice stroll down the hill in a dust storm, through the wet ground and long grass and reeds...
found a good picnic spot, with a cache


tftc Princess Peach 25

Mildura heat! Cracked 40 degrees out on the bike but some tree cover and tragic obsessive behaviour had me locating a few more caches - and that’s after the 6th puncture! So just a few more before departure to Melbs to collect car and then maybe head home to NE Vic IF the roads are open. Thanks to the Mildura CO’s for so many fun, interesting and challenging caches. Cache heaven!

Suscoe headed out this afternoon to find a few caches to the east and south of Mildura.
A lovely sunny afternoon.
We enjoyed the trip around the area and we were delighted with the horticulture of this region.

Thanks to Princess Peach 25 for this hide, a nice walk down from the road.
Cross a bit of water and pound the cache.

New area of Kings Billabong we haven’t seen before. Brooklyn and Chase (Adelaide).

Thanks it was really fun and a great spot

Travelling around Australia, today we moved from Wentworth to Mildura. Camp set up and then we headed off to the shopping centre via a few caches of course. Lol.

Nice quick find by one of the geo sons. The kids want to come back for a teddy bears picnic sometime (we didn’t know the great table spot nearby was there!) Tftc

TFTC, really cute spot!

Great spot and a nice walk/ride!

It's in the name

Cool little find

It is a fantastic spot at sunrise! Took a photo. TFTC

Easy find once my GPS settled. Tftc

CPwanderer & I were cleaning up some caches around Mildura before heading towards the turtle & then back to Adelaide.
The only muggle around was the neighbour at the nearest parking spot,
and he was busy smoking out everyone in the nearest vicinity with the garden fire.
A short walk to gz which was now muggle free.
A nice view of the river from gz, thanks for the hide Princess Peach 25

Easy find with clare007 after wandering down the hill!!!

We found it

Thanks for creating it, it was actually in a really good spot and I enjoyed walk with my dog to find it.

Found it with the help of wombat
The dogs were scary but we made our way to the cache 3500

The track seems to have become quite overgrown and difficult to walk but worth the effort - you're rewarded with a nice view of the birds and Billabong

Found. Nice spot

Tftc! And the soggy socks
