I was planning to head from Craigieburn Station to Wollert, but saw this cache was close handy. It took me a lot longer to find than it should have, as the grass here is very long. I persisted and eventually uncovered what I was looking for, in an excellent hiding place.

Hi there chof_hoe,
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 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 to this enquiry 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 to check, repair, 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 are not mind readers (more's the pity), so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, you have been in hospital, the area is in flood, or some other reason that has prevented attending to the cache, they can't tell what is going on.
You need to post a note to the page (within 14 days) explaining the situation 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 **post a Write Note log 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 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 and processed accordingly.
Honestly, it's better for you to decide, so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

In the area for a week to attend the Mega and as this guy was close to our accomodation we had to have a look but could not find anything, lots of otheres have looked as well by the look of the trodden down tall grass.
Whittlesea Mega Wobble and Wade Tour: Day 4: Plus 1 Geelong to Whittlesea
Once again myself and Anymules were in Victoria on our way to a Mega event. We arrived in Geelong last night and this morning we rectified a few DNFs from three years ago did some labs and picked up our mate Bushfire and headed northwards toward the Mega [^] We stopped for a few new caches and lab caches along the way. - As you do.
The ground around was well trodden despite nobody having been here for a few months. The ground was so overgrown with knee high grasses we couldn't even find the rocks easily to look in. In the end we just had to give up or start weeding for the local council. You pwned us noobs.
**Thanks chof_hoe for the search anyway. **

By all the well trodden grass, it appears many people have been searching for this one in recent days.
If it was in the pipe (as indicated by someone’s log), with all the recent weather events, it’s certainly not there any more.
We did search all around the surrounding area anyway. But as nobody has put a log on this cache in months, despite others having obviously been here, I’m not afraid to log a DNF and hopefully it can be checked by the CO (especially with the Mega this weekend) or disabled if required.

Parked on the other side of the creek, so walked around in a wrong location at first. Quick find after I resolved this.
Yucky cache. Nice area but the case was disgusting. It was as wet as anyone would be if they saw RM irl.
I forgot to mention this when found however the box was quite wet inside which I assume was humidity I recommend attention
Good fun a little tricky to find but I was laughing because I went all the way down the rocks
This was an interesting catch found this in the dark pissing down rain on our way home back to shepparton after being down here in the big smoke TFTC
OHC and I are both on a run of sorts so decided to team up some caching. With an ice cream to finish, it was a good night!
Quickly spotted at GZ.
Thanks to chof_hoe for the placement, fun and adventure.

Went at 2am, don't think I've seen so many centipedes in my life, maybe 100 of em? That's 10,000 legs. None in the cache though
Happy to turn this into a find. I tried a few years ago when it had been muggled. Today my biggest challenge was the tall grass, even taller weeds and unstable rocks.
TFTC, left some handmade swag and a few other goodies. Took nothing.

After an unsuccessful trip to select an caravan to do the big lap, we decided we would have more luck caching.
Pretty overgrown here, but we managed to find and sign log.

Followed the path and did some climbing but DNF. Not sure if it is still there as it hasn't been logged since June. Very overgrown

Traditional Find #2722**
I stopped here on my way to an event in Whittlesea because I needed a find in the Hume LGA. This is the last of the suburban LGA's for me so now I have a number of road trips to look forward to. This was a quick find in a place that could be very awkward during the working week. After this, headed to the event.
**Thank-you to chof_hoe for placing this geocache**

It’s finally raining in Melbourne (hopefully raining in then fire zones) so I thought it would be a good chance to tackle this one and avoid the long grass in the hot weather. Grass wasn’t too bad but with the rain pouring down I was out looking longer than I would have liked. Cache was soon in hand, a quick sign and back in its home and sealed tight. TFTC
It’s fair to say in the long grass this not most fun cache I’ve ever done! TFTC though
A quick find once the GPS settled down and locked it first had us probing along the fence line. And distances were bouncing around as well. Then wait a moment and direction fixed up then straight onto the cache log signed and all returned. TFTC from the inspectorrexteam
Find number 7584 at 4:47:04 pm
Traveling home, looking for a cache and it's pouring so I pick a cache near a drain, great!
A nice quick easy find that I ,managed to make during a lull in the storm
**Thanks for placing this cache chof_hoe**

Popped past this morning - either the cache isn't there, or someone has hidden it so well not even I can find it!
Will replace shortly and have this one back up online. Apologies to previous DNFs.

Not a great start to the day. A jumpy gps and long dry grass had me giving up after mins.
Found a safe parking place and proceeded through the grass to GZ. Soon found a likely hiding spot and SL at 11.03am Took: car Left: music PT #6019 We will be back to continue this series on another visit to the area. TFTC chof_hoe
Found by The Empire
Playing hockey tonight at Craigieburn Hockey Club, I took the opportunity to come down a little early and check out some of the newer caches around the area. Interesting industrial area of old Craigieburn, thought I might see a dead body wrapped in plastic down here - luckily found the cache instead. They also make passports here at the mint in Craigieburn. Thanks for the cache chof_hoe.

found it TFTC. GPS had us all over the place. Knew where it should be, a good hunt found it
Found it, the first place I looked. This brings back memory’s of a huge fire at Leader Products went up in smoke. We had to relay water from Note Printing Australia. And yes we were subject to all the security check on entering and leaving.
SLTN Left my tag and some goodies. TFTC

This one took me longer than it should have but persistence won out and the deed was done.
As I'm now 3 months behind in my logging I am desperately trying to catch up and am mass logging to do so.
On my way down to Melbourne for a pre-procedure meeting today and then an angiogram tomorrow so that I don't end up dead! [xx(]
kmace met me at the hospital with a cappuccino and once I was finished we went out caching [^] By the time I dropped her back at her car, I found one more cache on my own and then headed to kmace's for some sleep it was well after midnight [)] I'm guessing I'll sleep tomorrow in the hospital
Total of 11 caches found under a super full blue moon of gigantic proportions
This cache has taunted me for a while so I made sure we got onto this side of the road and then came in and found it
We're not carzy at all

With 42° the forecast maximum for the day, it was better to find the cache of the day earlier, rather than later. So while the rest of the family slept the morning away, I enjoyed the quick trip up the bypass road to the opposite side of the station to the one I usually see.
The nice sized cache was in the most logical spot once the GPSr settled down. And I remembered to get the extra details.
Thanks, chof_hoe... A run of a baker's dozen so far. Stay cool out there, folks.

With my muggle friend in tow, we parked nearby and I gave him my GPS. He had the location in no time. I quickly found the Cache and signed the log. He was suitably impressed again. TFTC chof_hoe. I've always wondered how they make the bank notes in there. Thanks for the info and history on the place.
