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.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

I've noticed this cache is carrying a maintenance log which really does need to be addressed by the cache owner.

The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](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.

Getting dark,
Gave up after reading logs..well hidden, a few meters off, took a while etc.
Not for us to continue tonight.
Thanks for all the reasonably new cache placements you have provided for our enjoyment.

Lovely place. Water inside cache. I emptied it but log book was wet and hard to write on. TFTC

I originally marked this cache as ‘found’ FLTF – full log to follow. Here I am well over a month on and I haven’t’ added a full log yet! So her I am typing up a generic copy and paste log, I do apologise that it isn’t a unique log for your cache. Thank you for suppling me/us with a cache to do along the way. I got a few caches orders and finds muddled so I am sorry if I created confusion, I think I have corrected that error now.

Found this cache heading to in or around Port Fairy.
TFTC

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Log needs attention, very wet

Needs maintenance. Log is wet. Good hide.

**Found en route home after visiting family in Warrnambool**

Stopped off to grab a cache or two along the way.
Thanks for the cache leoch00ks1. Appreciate your efforts.
(Apologies for the late log) [B)]

*Took*: Nothing
*Left*: Nothing

The geo dog needed a walk and this cache was away from the road. It took a little longer than the others around town. There was a muggle on the golf course so stealth was required. Stopped at Terang for lunch and decided to get a few caches around town.

Found it.good hide

TFTC. Signed and returned.
Cache very soggy.
Took a little while to find.

Found with 4MAAL at 4pm. This one took some finding - very well concealed and a few metres from where the GPS was indicating. Also the log book was extremely wet and needs replacing.

thanks leoch00ks

Found at 1550 very soggy cache needs maintenance our 500th find we finally made it. tftc

I did the Terang loop track after work today, went off track a few times and almost got lost along the way but grabbed some caches as I walked. I searched a few possible hiding spots before I found the right one. Tftc

Thanks! From Noorat Primary School grade 3-6

Another find.vthank you. Crusher63. 7.5.18

Thanks for the dinosaur! Enjoy the eyeball!

Thanks for the cache!! Was a great first find for me.

It is hard to believe "The Parkville Event" Victoria's 4th MEGA is just 7 months away. Many people are working hard to ensure another great weekend - 17 & 18 November - lock it in now!
A quick find as we made our way to the pre Mega event in Warrnambool.

Thanks 'leoch00ks1' for placing these caches.

While on the way out of town we parked nearby and had a nice walk to GZ.
All was quiet here today which made looking for the cache pretty easy.
We saw a couple of local cows relaxing under the shade of a nearby tree.
TFTC

Had a great view of the golf course. TFTC.

Straight off night shift we left for Portland for a few days, for some diving and caching with friends.. BettyBoo3747 did all the driving, I did all the snoozing. Came into the land of the living to do a few caches on the way.

A nice stroll over to GZ. No muggles on the golf course today, and the dogs enjoyed the walk.
The only sound we heard was the youngest dog barking at cows that she had never seen before
Thanks, Robmc.

#14177. Travelling from Melbourne to Portland and gathering up a few caches along the way. It was a trip that ended up taking 7 hours, what with roadworks and cache stops.

We snuck across the corner of the golf course to this one and then discovered the walking track. The interior of the container was damp and the log book was truly manky and saturated in its bag so we removed it and left a new log sheet in a strong plastic bag. I really loved the approach to near GZ through the long avenue of huge established trees. Very pleasant.

Thanks leoch00ks1

Night time walk around the walking track. Log is very wet. TFTC

After a short search, I managed to spot the well hidden container. Logbook very wet. TFTC leoch00ks1.

While on holidays in Warrnambool we headed out for a drive to check out the district.
Wasnt holding out much hope of finding this one after a DNF at 'Hole in One' and the last log here was a DNF. But i gave it a shot anyway and couldn't find it using my map view on the smartphone. But when i switched to radar navigation it led me to a spot about 5m from where i was standing and i found the cache straight away! Nice. Unfortunately the logbook is very wet and i only just managed to leave an imprint of a signature in it.
And wouldn't you know it that same muggle couple i passed on the last two caches showed up from around the corner as i was signing the log and laughed at how we met again and i had come around to pick them up after all!
Tftc and showing us some of your town leochOOks1.

Last stop on me tour of the 'Lost Lake of Terang'
And nearing GZ,
I had to wait a few minutes while some people were teeing me off !!

Once the muggles had teed off,
I got to looking through the morass of vegetation for a cache
I stuck to the most likely spots,
and soon spied the cache

Good olde basic black camo !! [^]
It works so well

Searched some likely spots near gz but gave up after a while with no success

Found

Like others gps a bit erratic. Spotted a likely spot, found it. Cache in good order but a little damp. Tftc

My phone was totally erratic here sending me back and forth checking out every likely spot but the one I needed. Almost ready to admit defeat when I checked out one more place 10m from where the phone thought but that'll is unreliable and there this well hidden cache was hiding A lovely area and looking forward to more in this series TFTC

Enjoying a drive in the district with the added bonus a few unfound caches. A great spot to stretch the legs while adding our team name to the logs. With our devices not settling for ages we searched every conceivable spot , even GZ twice and still missed it. Lucky the other Triton persisted as he came up with the goods.
Thanks for the placement Leoch00ks1 .

Ms FV had a workshop in the area today. The rain and wind certainly killed the enjoyment that would have been great yesterday with the perfect spring day. However, todays hunting to grab these caches has been planed for sometime so just do it.

Dark skies, rain, plus a dripping canopy is less than appreciated by my GPS. Observing GPS points from varying spots in the open suggested a reasonable specific GZ and quick find.

Found

Got it but tree cover made it hard

Cache is now Enabled again.
Happy Cacheing!

Cache has been checked and is still in its original place in tact. I am now re-enabling this cache.
Thanks

After a great weekend in Portland catching up with friends after the 8 months to the mega event and caching with SuperPop it was time to head home picking up a few caches along the way.
Being so close to this one and with the owner only suspecting that it may have been muggled we thought that we would try our luck anyway. We searched around for quite a few minutes and were starting to think that it maybe missing when Diane checked one more place and we are very pleased to report that the cache was found safe and sound and all the contents are in excellent condition.. Hopefully the rest of the series will be the same.
Thanks leoch00ks1 for the cache.

This cache is temporarily disabled due to suspected being muggled or damaged. I will be fixing this cache as soon as possible

Found by Mary & David at 1446. The last one of the series for us. This little cluster has been on our radar for a while. Most enjoyable, and a FP awarded. Curious alpacas came to the fence where we parked to stare at us. We don't do golf - we get all the mental and physical exercise we need from caching. Our thanks to leoch00ks1.

Dinner seemed a longer time away when we started our search for this one. The coords were bouncing around and there were so many places it could have been. The flies were not as bad here, thank goodness! We looked into one log hole and down the bottom was a golf ball. Whoever hit that shot would never have found it - doh, of course thats why it is still there. Anyone else that sees this on their travels would have to laugh and imagine the many ways it could have got in there. I prefer to think that it was some kind of special ricochet or something more simple as a kid dumping it in there for fun!
So back to the cache, we looked high (not so high due to the ratings) and low to no avail. Then a down under gave me a glimpse and there it was. Pokey Little Puppies has been exploring but did not dig holes under fences.....off we went, finally on the way back to the homestead.

Sorry for the late logging.

Did the walking track while waiting for the train. Flies were crazy today. TFTC

A couple of days ago my good friends the suscoe cachers invited me to accompany them on a long trip deep into the Western District to add a few more smiley faces to our profiles. Well you cannot knock back an offer like that so very early today with the alarm set the ageing Bushfire arrived at their doorstep early for a change.
With the bits and pieces loaded into the fairly new wheels it was off West to see what we could find.
A wonderful day to be out and about not too hot but at times the breeze was a little cool.
Camperdown was the first cache for me today and is a town I have been to and through many times but after finding the cache it was off to Darlington hoping for a FTF on a new cache that was placed a few days ago.
OK we are now in Terang and having a look at this trail and this guy was our fifth and was found fairly quickly, signed and returned.
Thanks again leoch00ks1 for placing this series.

Suscoe headed out today to the Western District in the terrific company of our good mate Bushfire.
It was a beaut day for caching with the temperature not breaking through the 22 degree barrier all day. In fact at times it was quite cool down this way with the southerly wind keeping things mild.
So with the Red Ant, the Squirrel and the Hedgehog in fine fettle we enjoyed a wonderful day of caching and wandering the roads of the Western Plains.

Bushfire made th find here.
A lovely spot for the final for this walk.
A pleasant area to enjoy.
Thanks leoch00ks1.

Found mid-morning with the geo-son during a circuit of the walking track by bike. Dropped off a batman TB which has been shifted already. Many thanks leoch00ks1

A quick find as we passed through town. Thanks for the hide and bringing us here.

Great hide thanks

Some lovely cows to talk to here. A pleasant shady spot. Thanks!
