Unfortunately there does not seem to be any evidence that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement or an indication as to when this might take place

It would appear the owner of this cache listing is no longer interested in the cache and the cache has been abandoned.

As such the cache is being de-listed (Archived). If there are components or remnants of the cache, please recover them as we don't want to litter our environment with Georubbish.

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**###

----------

Hi there Cache Owner,

This cache has come to my notice as there is a 'Needs Maintenance' log that that indicates there is some sort of issue with the placement and it needs your attention please.

Check out the Guidelines here: [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable the cache**](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) within 14 days,** 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:

- Check on the cache, repair and/or replace the cache 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 praises.

- 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 (within 14 days). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. For ongoing issues (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to speed.

- 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 I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will unfortunately have to de-list (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 information/advice posted above.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Several people have looked for this one over the past year and it is nowhere to be seen. High time that it was checked.

Needs checking please as it hadn’t been found for a long long time ! Has it gone?

Not for us either. Four DNF's in a row now, maybe a check is needed or disable.

No luck today

No and I had a pretty good tramp through here too

Had my third look for this one today, including with the benefit of a photo from a previous finder, all to no avail. Have to mark this one as missing.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one of the list

Found after a long search through scrub. Itchy hands now.

Very accurate gps helped a quick and easy find. Tftc

Took a few looks because I’m a bit slow - TFTC

Spent a bit of time in this area today to catch some fresh air and a Yeti. With not too many muggles around, we took in the views across the bay and then swooped down for a reasonably quick find. Prickles left us alone, and for that we thank them.
Thanks for the invite to enjoy this spot!

I was caching in the area today and stopped in for a look. No muggles around except for a few passing cars so I was able to search in peace. Found after a couple of minutes getting pricked by the vegetation. I took the TB that had been here too long and some nice photos of the view.
Thanks buzzsmc for the cache.

Thanks for the cache and your continued maintenance of same, buzzsmc

A delightful sunny day, this day before the New Year.
We are clearing up a few Clifton Springs caches to fulfill of personal objective of #1000 caches by year end.

Green racer still there. Not keen on prickles though.
Cache # 1001

Found by Mary & David at 1640. Another District conquered. A FP for the view here. Could have just sat and stared at the water and the distant You Yangs. Dropped off "Green Speed Cacher Travel Tag" for a scenic pit stop. Our thanks to buzzsmc.

Found this one a couple of weeks ago while waiting for the Geomonkey to umpire netball grand finals. Phone wasn't being particularly helpful so it took a couple of laps to locate it.
Thanks buzsmc !

Nice hide and not too hard to find.
Great view of Corio Bay and Port Phillip Bay.
TFTC

Nice easy find, feeling a bit itchy

Fairly quick find. Im also unsure of the number. Will contact CO when ive collected a few more in this series. Have photo evidence of find and signed the log of course
Tftc

Hide hide
thanks buzzsmc

Tfgc legs abit itchy from prickles

Came within 1 metre but couldnt find it. Hate that. Love finding the spot but get sick of them being too hard to find. Where is the clue

Found with Ozcapri. Quick find, didn't like the prickles though. TFTC

First one today. Nice view.

Ouch ouch ouch bloody things. Finally found it tftc

Was out doing maintenance on some of my caches on the Peninsula and got gripped by the need to find one. Failed miserably on one at St. Leonards and we were going home and we detoured to this one, because I suspected it would be a systema. Excellent coords and my wife, equipped with the device, was soon directing ( a polite word for ordering ) me to the likely gz. I could see why she was reluctant once I put my hands near gz. Gritted my teeth and persevered, only for her to come along minutes later and pronounce the ultimate gut-sinking phrase "Found it". Oh well, I'll claim it anyway. Thanks.

Did a maintenance ran to some districts today. This had indeed been missing. Has now been replaced and is ready to find.

Dnf here - checked with previous finder

Quick and fun find for the kids

Fun yet chilly find in the dark. Thanks!

Lovely views

Nice easy find.

Yay 3rf one TFTC guys looking forward to finishing this off.

found it

no wonder i couldnt find it. my phone says i am 10mtrs off im looking in wrong place! it could be my phone playing up. well hidden cache! well done

Lot of muggles around had to be sneaky got this 1 and on our way after a little play

This was a nice little hide, may be good to wear pants as the shrubs are a bit prickly. TFTC

Called by today on our way home from Geelong. We were amazed at the number of new homes in the area. The cache was quickly in hand, our name in the log and the number in our book for future reference. Images added.

Our thanks to buzzsmc for placing this cache.

After doing some maintenance on a couple of caches it was down to find this guy in an area that once again I have never been to before.
I had the area to myself so it was not long before the cache was in hand, signed and returned and hidden a little better than I found it.
I am always amazed that new and sometimes very experienced cachers don't seem to care about other peoples caches. If you are the next to find after Bushfire or suscoe then you can be sure that the cache will be hidden better than when we found it.
It is hard to decide if the number is one of two possibility's here as with just about in all these caches the number has come adrift from where it was glued.
Thanks buzzsmc for placing this guy.

Up and earlier today to knock out my cache of the day and l have had this one in mind for a little while now. Slowly but surely lm making my way through the series

Tftc

We were out for a weekend drive when one Bunny recalled that District 3 was out this way. A quick detour had us by a non-conventional playground with heaps of climbing options and wonderful views across the bay. All the local kids were staying nice and warm indoors, but even still, the cache is far enough away to grab without arousing suspicion. TFTC and the first in the series for us.

Gotcha! A little bit closer to the end of this series. A bit of a stinky drive! We took the cool looking geocoin. Another find by the McPhail family

Today was a wild day in the wind department. As a result, district 3 was deserted. An easy find once the GPS settled. Yes, I am sure the wind definitely blows the satellites off course. Thank you buzzsmc for this cache.

got my hands all itchy for nothing from plants. could find in 2 mins then muggles came from nowhere to ruin my trip out here all the way from lara. thanks a lot muggles

Suscoe was out on an afternoon caching trip today in pleasant sunshine and a few clouds.
Unbelievable late Autumn weather really, feels like spring time.
With days like today it makes you wonder what is going on with the climate!!!!!!
What a fine view from GZ.
What an amazing development area.
First time to visit this place.
Thanks to buzzmc for this hide and series.

nice find sorry for the late log

[FTF]
Woke up to the surprise notification, Thought I'll give it a go. What a great location except for the strong cold wind and rain, but other than than that. Wasn't expecting a clean log here. Signed and replaced as found. As I returned to the warmth of the car a family that had just arrived were gesturing to me to see if I'd found it. We exchanged pleasantries the. Back home for breakfast. Dropped off a TB.

Thanks for the cache Buzzsmc

Grrrrr pipped at the post for the FTF by Ausfox by 5 mins! A respectable "second to find" on a hideously windy day. Dropped off a geocoin and swag to add to the interest. Beautiful spot. TFTC

Nice find

After finding a few in the series this morning, I was keen to grab a few more tonight. They say two heads are better than, but in this case it was three !! I joined forces with unstoppable force that is The_Tritonz and together we set about conquering this series.
It's a pity it is so dark, I would loved to have seen the views here. Man it's windy tonight, glad I've got my beanie. A short search and we had the cache. Clue noted and onto the next. TFTC buzzsmc

Using the cover of darkness tonight in the company of DAB we managed to cover from District 3 to District 1 in a reasonable time gathering the necessary intel needed to regain entry to The Capitol. Technology is always handy when searching for a cache , where else would we be without a GPS or smartphone? So we can be thankful this district is wealthy and provide us with the means to locate this cache and solve this mystery.
Thanks buzzsmc for the hide and the series.
