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. 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.

Hi there cowy49,

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)

**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.

Unfortunately the hint was not much use

Unfortunately the hint was not much use

Couldnt find anything...maybe a bit more of a clue.

Sad face for us today after searching for ages too many mozzies biting us to keep searching

We gave this one a good go but after a jumpy GPS and scratches on both legs we decided to come back next time a try again. Have a good idea on what the hint is referring to but our eyes couldn't spot it today!

A quick find after checking in at the Marlo Hotel and before Dinner. Sadly the pencil quitted, so a fotolog only. TFTC

Lousy weather to be groping around in the bush and in or under things. So after getting quite wet from rain and what dropped on us from trees and bushes we gave up.

We arrived here about 0815hr and made the pleasant walk to this cache.

A reasonably quick find here, thanks cowy49.

**Log getting near full.

Very well hidden but mrs peppadog found it after a long search.
Our first go at this and could be addictive.
Lots of fun.

Another find while enjoying beautiful Marlo. tftc.

Found with Crazy! Nat Girl, We left to closest cache to where we were staying till last, it was a pleasant evening walk to the cache where Nat soon spotted it while I was looking the other side of the path. Thanks for the cache.

We enjoyed the beachside side walk to this cache, which we soon found once at Ground Zero. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and greetings from Zimbabwe

Trip from Bright in Victoria to Brisbane, Queensland can be rather boring, so we cache as we go. Today, we started at Marlo on the Snowy and ended up at Genoa.

Nice walk to start the day, quick find, but a little out of place. Thanks cowy49

Enjoyed the walk to this cache.

A quickie before brekkie
Beautiful walk through the thicket and rainforest down by the water.
Rather soggy log though.

The last day of our mini holiday and Genghicat and I are slowly making our way back to Canberra.
This cache is located in quite a lovely area. The river runs wide here and is utilised by boats, paddlers and people walking their dog. The path is lovely, quite tropical in nature with ferns along rock walls and overhanging trees. Cause we dropped our keys and had to visit twice just for pleasure. Cache was in good condition Tftc.

Quick find. Few skinks guarding the cache. End of a lovely visit to Marlo. Tftc

Found on a lovely walk not far from the beach

TFTC Had me stumped for a while,so much fun!!

Nice easy find

Thanks for the hide and smiley cowry49

Day 2 of the drive to Canberra via the Coast with megawat60. Found after a pleasant walk. Found cache then read the hint! Thanks for this cChe and bringing us here!

Nice cache in a beautiful spot! Thanks

With a couple of hours free this afternoon muggle mum and I decided to drive to Marlo and have a look around.

What a lovely trail along the water! It didn't take long once at GZ to uncover the well hidden beasty.

Thanks for the cache cowy49

Cache in good condition. TFTC.

Something a bit different! We left a Halloween treat for the next person

Walking the dog, didn't even we were looking until we opens the app

Great walk - even got to watch a seal frolic in the waters!

Forgot to take a pen but we found it! We had two little boys with us & it was their first geocache. Very exciting!!

Done.

This one took longer than it should have to find. Interesting cache! TFTC

Bushy

1st geo of the Easter break. Found by the youngest geoson. Good work Bomber.

On a trip from Melbourne to Sydney. Arrived here after many hours of pouring rain. By 4pm it had stopped so we set out for some exercise and caching. Loved this little path
Cache did take some finding but perseverance paid off. Many thanks and greetings from UK.

Easy find
TFTC

Over from nz travelling from Sydney to Melbourne grabbing a few along the way .
Pulled up for lunch at the car park ,but first we headed down the track for what turned out to be a very quick find by my muggle travelling companion , first place he looked cache all in good order tftc

Could not ding it look everywhere on the beach both sides of the path up and down possible stolen and the hint wasn’t much help

Decided to walk off Christmas lunch and this was a nice track to do it, hadn't been along this section of the track before. Picked up a couple of caches along the way, this one had me searching for a bit. TFTC

Parked at the end of the peir road, loved the beanie poles, then a nice stroll to the cache. Looked on the wrong side of the track for a while then with a sprinkling of good luck we tried the other side and had the little blighter.

Back in Australia, for the three weeks SGAT, "SisterCornys Great Australian Roadtrip": In a small campervan from Sydney to Melbourne along the coastline.
Day 6 with the HippieCamper, we stayed overnight in Marlo at the campground. Before visiting the famous pub, we went for a nice walk in the sunny but windy weather and found this little cache. TFTC

Great thx

The long weekend was here and it was time for fitzy_1965 and I to head down to Vic in the geo-unit for an epic geomission We had a great time camping, cruising around admiring the beautiful scenery and nabbing LOTS of caches! A great weekend of quality caching all round!

This was a tricky one. Took a bit of searching as the cache was not in the usual spot for this type. Good to have this one found!

Thanks for the hide, cowy49

14700. Found during a long weekend caching run down through the Bombala / Genoa / Mallacoota / Cann River / Orbost / Lakes Entrance / Bairnsdale regions with specimenX.

A long weekend caching plan was hatched with specimenX to head down to Victoria for 4 days of caching and camping. Had a fantastic time driving around enjoying the scenery, camping at various locations, plus the huge number of caches to be found. Day Two dawned and we had survived the rain. Packed up and hit the road. Next find of the day. This one took a while. I was pretty sure I knew what I was looking for, but couldn't spot it. Eventually found covered up under a pile of wood and bark, and it was just lying there, not "set up". All good in the end though. Signed the log, replaced the cache, and headed off to the next one after a spot of lunch here.

Thanks to all the COs for placing their caches !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

I've dumped the boys at the jetty with some live bait to fish and come for a walk and a cache or two! What a lovely trail here. Loved the hats too! An easy find. Many thanks for the cache.

Obviously wood chopping has been a busy activity here found 8 metres on the pathway Took it back to Co ords loved the container hidden again Thankyou for the walk lovely area

Found it at SRC geocaching class

As we drove to the parking area for this one we noticed all the knitted caps on the posts. That was a bit of a novel idea that has obviously grown!
Headed off along the track towards this cache and stopped to check the GPS as I thought I must be getting close, looked down and saw the tell tale sign of a geocaching hide. Have found a few of these container types in the past.
Walked back along the beach to the van and even though it was a bit chilly appreciated the beauty of this spot.
Thanks.

Today the garden was very dewy, not needing any water, thankfully because this hide cannot help, but would in a previous life, I used to work with these items for a long while, and still have lots in my garage to be used sa this one is now, Thanks to cowy49, a well hidden cache, in a well trodden garden path

Catching up with some very late logs.
Enjoyable walk along the trail. Staying at Mallacoota for the last night.
Thanks cowy49

Enjoyable walk along the trail to find this well hidden cache. Tftc

It pays to look around for the more gradual approach to do this cache. A nice day with a great view of the Snowy River entering Bass Strait. Thanks cowy49 for placing a cache here.

The paper is missing, but enjoyed finding it

Nice easy one !

Note to self: don't try and get to this from above. It is a bad move and much paint and blood will follow.

Do not ask me about this cache - suffice to say the log was signed and whilst not technically an FTF the log was otherwise empty.

No longer....

Thanks (I think) the the cache and the lessons learned...

BYO pen

Had been muggled. Replaced with fresh new cache. Enjoy.

No easy finds for me today

I searched for a good half hour amongst the debris of previous searchers,
and couldn' t find this,
'easy to find' cache

A DNF for me today.

But I did enjoy the stroll along the estuary [^]

Nice easy find on a quiet morning stroll. TFTC

Nice quick find on a morning beach walk tftc

what a special place, thanks for putting a cache here!

Quick ride by with the kids

Today we explored Orbost and surrounds using geocaching as a guide and picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them. An easy find.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Great hide. Love this spot .Nana found it

Beautiful and favourite spot too

Left trackable.
