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.

Hi South-West,

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed as well as to remove it from search listings.

**Please note that caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis you will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't just pop out and fix the issue,** Caches where the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain will not be archived.

Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so. Alternatively, what you need to do is place a Write Note log indicating a date when you you expect you might be able to attend to the issue/s.

**When I next check on the cache, if there is no acknowledgment from the CO as request above, the cache will most likely be de-listed (Archived).**

Went back twice, searched the old and new coordinates for quite a while but found nothing. If it’s still here it’s too well hidden for us.

Looked for a whie, but couldn't find it

Unable to find

Found by The Empire + H
In Warrnambool for NYE. Lunch at the Railway Distillery would be a highlight of the way we sent-off 2019 and after some ice cream from the famous Ice Creamery, we were ready to do some caching! The change of co-ords had us wandering around a while but we got there in the end! Thanks for the cache, and Happy New Year South-West!

Hello everyone,
I will be out to check this cache in the next few weeks
Thanks you for your notes

###**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.

Unfortunately didn’t find this one

??

logged this after a wander around.
As the previous logs say the coordinates need to be updated as they are about 30M out.

Spotted a Koala strolling through the car park.
TFTC

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

Knew what I was looking for and eventually found it a little way off my GZ. TFTC South-West

With Mrs one-eyed and our Nissan Patrol 4WD spent a lovely morning out from our four day stay at Peterborough CP in Timboon.
A nostalgic visit for Mrs one-eyed , last time she was here was 55 years ago.
Found the cache okay in good condition.
TFTC
one-eyed

Found it after a bit of poking around. GPS coordinates out a fair but, had to search 25m NW of location.
Clever hide though, TFTC!

Out today with 2beez whilst on a short holiday. Picking up a few smilies we had missed previously.
Took a while for GPS to settle but trusted or nose.
TFTC

TFTC out with Crack n Lee Lee enjoying the area.Just visited a cheese farm & chocolate farm . Lovely little town.

TFTC! Good find GPS was quite off found by the legendary geokid herself. Now off for an ice cream yipeee!!? Also found with Colebases ️️

Found before enjoying the offerings at the ice creamery. Cool hide. TFTC!

Good one

Found by geomum in the first place that geodad and 9yo geokidlet has previously looked. TFTC

Found it after checking much further out than coordinates suggested!

Found with Cardiackelli.

Good spot

GPS is out a bit but about 28m away it was found good find

GPS a bit out but an awesome cache

A friendly koala was wondering along while we searched. Not where the compass had us going but found it!

After several attempts finally found it

Found with FUF009.

A 3 day weekend for both of us meant testing the new swags and caching in areas we both had loads of choice from.

Meeting at Panmure and sussing out where to camp was the 1st priority (Lake Ellingamite), then merged into 1 car and hit the trails.

We changed camping location to near Colac for the 2nd night, less bugs more wind.

We had a wonderful weekend with many interesting finds and locations. Thanks to all the cache owners.

Find # 7314

Found with sharkiefan on a camping and caching long weekend in the South west area of Victoria.
We visited from Mortlake to Port Fairy to Colac to Timboon and everything in between, and finishing up in Ballarat on Monday evening for the Giff event.

Was nelly a DNF till we noticed other logs and yep we found it 28m North from posted coords.


TFTC South-West

Like others before us we found this a long way off from the posted co-ords. Too far.

Grate cache auwsome hiding spot had to look at pitcher to find it it was 28m from 0

Random location but got it!

Thanks

Cache still in place .. happy finding.

Well I looked at both sets of coordinates...and found something matching the clue at the one mentioned in logs but no cache for me.

Found by Mary & David at 1730. First time we have seen one of these places up close. Thank goodness for muff1's coordinates, as we would have been about 20m off otherwise. These trees have been touched by fire. Our thanks to South-West.

Nothing here don't come

Quick find

This geocache was pretty easy but fun ! I hope u enjoy it
By Astridragons

This was our very first Geo cache. My 8yo daughter and myself live locally and have been wanting to go geo caching for awhile. Great spot, it took us awhile but the hint helped

TFTC!

Coords of previous logged helped! Thank you!

Had to check the activity log and found the updated coords. Nice quick find one we had done that.

Yep still where it always has been. Coords in a previous log were spot on!
TFTC Wilbert67

Had a good look but could not find

Is this still here????

Easy find with new coords. TFTC

No luck even with new coords

Found the large rock at the updated cords from 8/11, the listed coords are in open space, so no luck today. Visited the nearby sports centre to relive a boyhood memory if visiting here in the 1970s and buying a t-shirt!

Not sure if cache is still here spent a very long time looking maybe it just was not our day. Will be back.

found it TFTC. Has been moved check the coordinates from the log entry 8/11/17

Found It.......This and the other cache in Timboon had been on our To Do list for quite a while and as Mr H_3 spends a fair amount of time fixing tractors in the area but most times there was muggles about we had left them for a quiet day. So fast forward until today as we had dropped the Geo Son off at a New Years party in Simpson it was decided to head over this way and turn the little green dots into smileys, So after pulling up we started the search with the Geo Hound and after going around and around we went back and read the previous finders logs and widened our search and soon after the cache was located. Thanks South-West for the cache

Taking the geofamily and in- laws out for a drive along the GOR today. I was doing some geocaching along the way introducing the inlaws to it and they were intrigued with it and enjoyed it. It was time for cheese and icecream so a trip here to Timboon was a must and grab a few caches to work it all off again.
Took us a while to locate this one until we read the recent log about the change of coords for it. And i must apologise to the CO for in my walk back to the car to get some tweezers i have dropped the lid to the cache and lost it. I made sure the cache was well wrapped in it's bag and covered when i returned it. Thx south-west for your cache.

Dit is de derde voor vandaag die we gevonden hebben samen met Ena en Damian, onze familie hier in Australië.
Het is best wel even zoeken omdat we steeds op een kale plek uit komen waar niets te vinden is. Als Damian zo'n 25m verderop de cache vind omdat hij de hint goed onthouden heeft staan we verbaasd te kijken. We noteren onze naam in het logboekje en leggen de cache weer terug op zijn plaats

South-West, hartelijk dank voor het plaatsen en onderhouden van deze cache.

The above co-ords are where we found the cache. There has been some major tree removal here, and perhaps due to this the cache has been moved. SL TFTC

Found with Lebac about 20 m North of GZ on a casual caching day in our local district. TFTC.

Thanks for the cache Lebac

Cache in good order, topped up with pencil, and logbook. Good luck..

Found the cache. Log is missing from inside.

Tftc

Found today 16 metres north from where our GPS had GZ. No wonder people have had trouble! We have a sheet of stone paper and zip lock bag to the cache container.
Thanks for the hide.

Found the cache but it was scattered amongst the trees. Have put back together what we found and will message cache owner where we left it. It's missing the log, so we couldn't sign it.

13:09
We looked high, we looked low, we looked in, we looked out, but today there was no way we could work this one out!
We widened our search and eventually found part of something matching the hint lying out in the open some 9 metres NNE of the listed co'ords. Details Messaged to CO.

**Feedback To CO:** As per our Message system advice - this needs your attention please.

Thanks for the hunt anyway South-West.

Found it easy

Nice hide I love the clue and it makes a lot of sense

Very tricky hide

Was briefly in Timboon so thought we should best grab a few of these local caches while here. TFTC South-West didnt know this park was here before you brought us here. Great hide by the way.

Second time lucky! Found straight away. Don't know what happened last time.

Really sorry for the late logging, cycling has taken over my life, and I'm waaaaay behind on logging found caches...

This week I was here with my cycling team for the Tour of South West NRS race. We were staying nearby in Brucknell, and I had the opportunity to take the car for a drive to find a few caches this afternoon.

A quick find here, but I did get bitten by a bullant on the hand . Thanks for the cache South-West!

Second time lucky! Last time the gps took us on a wild goose chase! Found with Tahlia.t
Find #96

Tricky hide thanks for the cache he

This was my second attempt at this cache and the caching gods were smiling on me this time. Took only a few minutes of a widened search radius as suggested by previous logs and there it was. TFTC and happy birthday Aunty Kathy (the reason for my visit to Timboon today)

Another quick find today and like the last one managed a park right beside gz and made the grab, thanks again South-West for the cache.

Had to widen search area but found it. Two magpies weren't moving for anybody but fortunately it wasn't under their tree.

Struggled

Staying in Portland with SuperPop after the eight months to the mega event we went for a drive to Peterborough and back grabbing a few caches along the way.
We believe that everyone living in a fire prone area should have a bush fire ready plan and stick to it but in real life this sometimes happen as planned and this is where these areas come into their own, hopefully offering a last resort for safety & survival.
Fortunately this area was totally deserted today as we had a bit of trouble locating this cache as the co-ords had us in the middle of a grassy patch so we had to expand our search to more logical locations and it was only after SuperPop was attacked on the little finger by a bull ant that the cache was finally located, we are happy to say that our names are now in the log.
Thanks for the cache.

Great Sunday drive after indulging in some samples from the distillery we came across this good hide. Thanks for the hide

Out and about in Timboon while on holidays with Trouble & Co made this quick find after a visit to the distillery. TFTC

My very good caching buddies the suscoe's invited me to accompany them starting very early with the weather not the best, not heavy rain rather a misty rain,I know the Irish have a name for this, enough to wet the windscreen and not much more.
Later in the day the sun came out and it ended up very warm.
As I stated above we spent many very happy days camping very close to the Princetown lagoon with two other families and each morning we would just stand and admire the view across the lagoon. Breakfast was cooked with this beautiful location in the foreground. A short wander to the mouth on the waterway that runs into the sea.
OK we are back inland now and after lunch at the local bakery it was time to grab a few more caches before it was time to head back to Geelong.
We arrived and headed for GZ and started the search in an area that had so many places to hide a cache we may still be there but the logical thinker with us moved away and once again that cry went out.
Log signed it was time to go to the next on our list.
Thanks South-West for placing these guys for us to find.

Suscoe and our good mate Bushfire headed out bright and early this morning for an adventure to the near south west of the Western District.
The day started out cool and overcast with the occasional drizzle keeping the windscreen damp.
Gradually the cloud thinned a bit and we had sunshine at times too.
Temperatures ranged from 12 degrees on the higher slopes o fthe Otways and it ended up at 22 degrees around the Colac area on the long drive home.
We travelled a fair way today and we surprised with the speedo total when we got home.

Thanks to South-West for this hide.
We found it after initially looking in the wrong spot.
The GPS wanted us over there but the cache was over there!!!!!!!
So after the first look we refocussed our search area and there it was.

No luck here today, will be back in April and will try again

Couldn't find this one. The GPS took us to the middle of the grass. This made the search area very wide. Even with the hint we couldn't find it.

Ms FV on duty at Port Campbell Art Space. To fill-in time a drive to Timboon to get smilies on the recently listed caches seems a good idea. Waited while a person emptied their car of items that somebody else may find some use of. Without my trusty GPS had to rely on my phone that just the thought of foliage or knowing I am relying it; a hissy fit of the compass makes caching difficult.

SL South-West TFTC
