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(]
It would be far better if you decide, so please do something before then. Please don't send an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.
Thanks for your cooperation,

Could cache have been washed away? Looks like branches and debris are well above the banks. I prob need to look harder
Didn't find. Looked at the spot which corresponds to the hint. But recent floods may have taken it away
Found with ease great hiding spot but log book is very wet and needs replacing tftc
With a more cooler weather today I was able to visit one more cache on my list for 2019. I sometimes like to visit the National park on the other side of the road but not to often come here to this part TFTC
A great camping spot near a pretty stream. Great place for a cache. The drop toilets aren't too great but they ate present and accessible. Mozzies are like horses. The cache is in good condition. Tftc
I have not been to this park for such a long time, but it's just as I remembered it (even the creepy toilets that I never used). The clue misled me, as there's something else in the park that stood out... but why would someone hide a cache there? I rechecked the GPS, and soon spotted the container. It was a bit light on swag, so I've left some odds and ends for the next player. TFTC, and try not to fall in the water
**# 20382** Found on a drive around the area while staying nearby. 
Not many muggles around today and a few quick finds for a change.
Thanks for the cache melwilk47,

Found with Chick Two & the little rooster. Nice quiet picnic ground, toilets were appreciated, and even saw two fish in the creek. We're really glad it wasn't just another cheapskate mint container. Thanks for the cache, and for placing it in a proper place.
Really nice cache and pretty creek. Nice easy find. Thank you! Found with chookies
Out on a caching day with NoonaB, as my caching partner had already found this cache,she stayed in the nice cool air conditioned car whilst i made a quick search for this cache, a nice quick find on a hot day, thanks for the cache 
Fount it @ 16:11!
This place was fun to play around as a kid and now just as fun as an adult because there is "treasure" to find!
Left a little white elephant, took nothing, as there's only one geocoin left
Thanks for the fun, cuz

Find #1200
After walking up to the weir, we headed over to this area of the creek before heading back home for a well earned cuppa! As my friends wandered around and had a look, I wandered over to GZ to look for the cache. Luckily I found it very quickly and replaced it just before a group of young lads arrived to make use of the fire pit. TFTC!

Checked up on my caches in the local area. Cache still in place, will refill with some swag later today.
Found straight away.. what a beautiful little place I've driven past so many times and never knew it was here
After finding one of the nearby Morwell NP caches with the family I took the opportunity to wander across the road to this one while geohubby loaded the kids back into the car. I found this area blissfully muggle free and peaceful and causally strolled to gz. I carefully picked my way through the overgrown weeds, ever watchful for the dreaded nettles. Once the cache was in hand and the log signed I took a moment to appreciate the view over the Creek. Beautiful little spot. Thanks for the cache and for bringing me to this little spot.
Its been great to see a number of new caches pop up around Churchill, but we have not been home long enough or often enough to search for them until today.
Our Grandson arrived today and wanted to do some exploring so where better to go than Billys Creek? It wasn't until we arrived we remembered there was a new cache here. Our Grandson loves to search for treasures, so off we went before looking elsewhere.
He soon had the cache in hand and enjoyed opening it and seeing what was inside. After we signed he also insisted on replacing it, carefully putting the camo back.
Thank you for a new cache.
Here is our Grandson's log:

A quick find.
I remember coming out here as kid and catching fresh water crays. That was a long time ago though.

*** FTF**** 10.40 pm.
Yawning at home, I looked at my phone before heading off to bed and saw that there was an email on the account that's related to all things geocaching, and I casually glanced at it and saw a new geocache had been published. Almost didn't pay much attention to it, until I realised that it wasn't very far away. As I hadn't checked my phone for quite some time, I was not sure how long ago the cache had been published and was sure someone had got it already. I saw a listing above Bunjil's and thought 'yep, someone's beaten me to it", but then I realised it was just a note from melwilk47 saying there was a nice reward for FTF.
Action Stations - grabbed a coat, 2 head torches (just in case one was near the flat battery stage), pen, better take two pens, and headed off, thinking that someone was bound to have nabbed the cache.
The place was dark and deserted as I parked, and I quickly made my way to GZ. With eager fingers, I opened the cache to find an empty log book, a wooden FTF wooden coin, and a really beautiful Travel Slug. I've never had (or even seen) a Travel Slug before, so I am delighted to have it in my hot little hands for a while before leaving it at a new location.
Thank you melwilk47 for the wonderful and rewarding night time adventure!

Congratulations sixy2sue on being the first to find!!! Good job on finding it in the dark and I hope you enjoy the wooden coin and the travel slug's company for a while!
