Unfortunately there has not been a response (or regular update) from the cache owner within the period requested and, as per the original advice, this cache is now being de-listed (Archived) as abandoned.

If there are components or remnants of the cache, please recover them as we don't want to litter our environment.

If you wish to contact a Reviewer regarding this cache, please send an email via the profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the Cache Name and GC Identification Code.

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###

----------

Hi there NorthEastCMA,

It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is an issue. The cache has been temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed.

**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 should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache and repair and/or replace 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 logs of praise to roll in.

- **Place A Write Note Log::-** Reviewers don't have a crystal ball, so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, or you have been in hospital, or the area is in flood, they can't tell what is going on with the cache.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) and when a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
**Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks, so as to keep everyone up to speed.**

- **Adopt/Archive:-** 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 a Reviewer next looks at the cache page, it is likely that they will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) 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.

**JUST A TIP:-** Have you checked out the new Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own? Have a read about it [**HERE.**](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/07/welcome-to-the-cache-owner-dashboard/?newsletter=PM) You will find your very own dash board [**HERE**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner?utm_source=geocaching&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=COD).

Thanks for your cooperation,

Soggy loggy
Didn't sign

Super wet log. Couldn't sign the log as it is paper mache!

Super wet log. Needs replacing

Very wet and log is not signable.

Needs some maintenance!

Quick find while out enjoying a walk along the river. Tftc !

Easy find

Out for a mornings caching on bikes with the daughters and PiDay20. A quick find then back on the bikes

Easy find with JOELISA. Although, cache was barely hidden and didn’t match hint description either. So we believe it has wandered from its proper hidey hole. Container was full of water! Thankfully one of the log books were still dryish. Emptied as much water as we could. Lots of traffic on the walking/cycling track this Saturday morning.

Dont know if it used to be well hidden, but not at the moment, pretty soaked too, thanks

Very wet well hidden though

Very wet inside.
May need to replace book

Found 20/9/21 HollyMollyNova

Very grassy container waterlogged

Accio 15:45:27
Starting my temporary placement relocation with an evening out and about collecting a few caches around here. This one was a quick find walking past. Lovely.
Thanks NorthEastCMA for entertaining me at this location.
*{Overall find #9286}*

Very wet and slimy log book. I had a spare on me so put that in the container.

Well hidden, make sure you listen as you step!

Very grassy!

Very long grass this time of year so cache was well hidden, luckily the colour stood out. Nice hide. TFTC

Log is soaking wet.

Log is a bit damp. Could use a new zip lock bag.

#4222 Enjoying our walk today along this pathway with the geohounds. Some mighty impressive trees along the Murray. Thankfully there was good tree cover because a drone was hovering overhead and therefore out of view, no doubt checking whether anyone was attempting to cross the border during this virus lockdown!

Possibly our last ride onto Victoria for awhile with the Border closing tomorrow! Filling in time while waiting for other geogirl at dance. Almost gave up scrabbling around in wet long grass but geogirl suggested one last spot... and bingo. TFTC.

Nice easy find on a good walk

Gunna get very wet feet today. Find 100 woohoo

Was looking at the trees then Bucrog52 helped me find the cache in a different spot. TFTC

Found by Mary and David at 12:00. Parked at the end of Harris Rd. A FP for the walk, the sun, the birds, the cache notes and, of course, the Murray River. Our thanks to NorthEastCMA.

Thankyou. Perfect geocache for the kids.

Find Number 1972 found at 14:38. This was the 5th find of 5 finds and 1 DNF's today

It was a lovely afternoon so we decided to take a walk beside the lake. That was a drive, not a walk. Then we detoured through an industrial area before finally walking along the river.

It might have helped if I knew what an antechinus was, but then again it might not. I searched everything which had a hole suitable for a small animal of some sort and eventually found the container

There was standing water in the container and the log was slightly damp in places. We emptied out the water and dried things off a bit. We signed the log (sometimes we sign micro logs with G&T or GT) and replaced the container in its original spot.

Thanks NorthEastCMA for the cache.

Found it, and a big nasty ant found me. Ow. Thanks

Geo Wife at work today and Geo Kids at school. Thought I might head out and knock over some caches. TFTC

2:44pm

Have ridden past this one many times since it has been in place, and every time I pass it I always think “I’ll find it next time”. Today was bike bike ride to purposely find some local caches so had plenty time to stop.
Always enjoy coming along this path, the river here was a regular haunt for a group of us that used to ride after school everyday to swim in the summertime.
Not too hard of a find and no one around to disturb the search.

TNLN , TFTC , Cheers.

Found it

Bike path is busy this morning so had to pick my time to grab this one

Thankyou! Nice easy find

Nice one and I learnt what an antechinus is

An early start for our first cache for 2019. A 45 minute drive and then a pleasant walk beside the mighty Murray River. There were some magnificent specimens of old, majestic eucalypts to admire on our walk to GZ. It is some months since the last find on this one, so the area was somewhat overgrown. Persistence paid off and we were finally rewarded with a familiar container, albeit with a few inches of water inside! The log book was safe and dry inside its zip lock bag and SL at 8.40am. Dried out the container and contents, added a gumnut PT, double bagged the log book and placed it back in its snug hiding place. #5859 TFTC and Happy New Year NorthEastCMA

Opportunistically came across this one, as the geo-dog and I crossed the border to walk along the Murray. Delightful early spring day, with a few muggles around. Thanks for the hide!

Found

Great first geocache, 10/10 recommend

TFTC thought it was harder than it was oops haha

over complicated it-

Bring a pen.

Another quick find on our bike ride. Cache OK

Nice one!

Tftc

The geotoddler came in handy for this one. At GZ some walkers came along, we just had a drink and made it look like we were having a rest break. The geotoddler had a nice time exploring the contents of the container while I signed the log. TFTC.

Easy find by get kids. Don't over think it.

Tftc! Excellent location

TFTC with Jaybeem!

Few places to look but found it in the end (also took our time looking for snakes lol)

Found with Justjessie on the way to Melbourne for Christmas. TFTC.

Found with O319 on our Christmas/New Year get away. TFTC!

a nice easy one

And a nice way to explore the area by bike. TFTC

Out for a plesant walk today and happy to make this discovery after a short search.
Thanks NorthEastCMA for placing the cache for us to find.

Great find with the kids. Easy one to 'log'.

Thank you

Grabbing a few caches while away for a weekend of catching up with some family and also some caches. We found this one after a little searching about but soon located it after rechecking our gps co-ord's. They didn't want to settle initially, but seemed to behave itself after a minute or two. Thanks NorthEastCMA for the cache.

Back in the area to attend a CITO event and to catch up with some caching pals over the weekend.
Cheers for the cache

Found this one a few weeks ago but didn't have a pen that day. Returned today and completed log
