### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUESTED PLEASE** ###

----------

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**

- **Place A Write Note Log**

- **Adopt Out or Archive**

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,

Bunjil (Pete & Helen)

We live not far from here
If it was located in a white car that had been there since 2000 it’s been removed by local govt
We are happy if needed to locate a new one
 
Spent sometime looking for this one with no luck.

I must confess that I tried to find this one last weekend but the stench of a rotting dead animal got the better of me and I retreated as I began to dry reach. I returned today and thankfully the smell had subsided and thankfully I got a quick find. Often wondered about the name of this cache and now it all makes sense.

Continuing our drive using unfound caches as our guide. What a scenic road to travel along with its green hills, majestic gums, screeching cockatoos and babbling streams. Found the POI and started our search. Found a dead rat, who may have ingested far to much plastic for its own good! The frogs were happy this morning and we could hear at least two types in the chorus. Sorry, we didn’t have the right size container to replace the damaged one. SL at 10.24am Found and collected the TB that was supposed to be in Holy Holy Holy cache and Left: Eagle-eyed Bunjil TB #6504 TFTC Maximus1978 & JoJoBeenie

Finally got to have a couple of days off so I headed up to Molesworth for a few days of R&R and caching.
After setting up camp I ventured off for the afternoon to find a few caches and tour the country side.
This was the last one for the day as the sun was starting to set and I didn’t want to be searching in the dark.
I hope nobody paid to get their car parked here or as the title says somebody need a few more lessons.
Found this one out in the open and it looks like a hungry local to the area has had a go at it going by the teeth marks.
Placed it back under cover for a bit of protection.
Thanks Maximus1978 & JoJoBeenie TFTC.

This was not a quick find. We thought about calling it off and giving it a dnf, but the call was met with a resounding silence, and we all kept looking. It was sharkiefan that eventually came up with the goods after braving the prickles. Well done.
Thanks for the cache.

They parked quite well really, didn't even get their tyres wet. Huge thanks to sharkiefan for finding this in about the only place we hadn't looked.
Thanks for the cache.

A tricky find with 3 sets of eyes. Eventually made the find. I think this particular set of wheels has been here a while. Tftc

On a road trip today with MrsPapi4506 and Sharkiefan exploring some of the west side of Lake Eildon.
Funny things you see when you stop for a cache! Very appropriate name!
Spent some time in and around the prickles until sharkie spotted the sneaky blighter.
Cheers maximus1978

Found at 12.30pm whilst out for a Sunday drive with our Qld relatives.
A lovely area to drive through, very quiet, no traffic. This cache needs a lesson in parking though, Found cache on open ground next to the object, I replace cache in the object.

Thanks

Out this way for a days caching in the area. A lovely drive and great views up this way. I had to find some courage to do this one. Through the long grass and blackberry, near water on a nice warm day. Could see a few tracks from previous finder but was about to give up, when the hide was discovered.
Thanks maximus1978 for placing the cache for us to find

*Today I completed my Year Long - One physical Cache a day'. Started last year whilst I was House Sitting in Coober Pedy*... Cool

**365** *consecutive days with finds* . Cool

Made the find whilst House Sitting in Mansfield. Cool **SO** - *That's where I parked my car!* Whilst I did make the find,, it was with one hand holding my nose. There was / is a dead large animal of some sort dead within 5 metres of GZ. All I noticed that is seemed to be moving with the amount of maggots . Surprised OMG. What a **STINK** [xx(] What a beautiful part of Australia (dead animals aside) and a lovely area to drive though. We really are so fortunate. The vistas - breath taking Cool

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment maximus1978. Appreciate your effort. Big Grin

Yeah, FTF
Find number 6111 at 1:00 pm
The cache was found muggled right from the start, MuggleWifeDoes and I were the first geocachers to find it but someone had definitely been there before us. Cache was found out in the open, container base in one spot and the lid in another and someone (a muggle) had written in the log book.
I put everything back together and re-hid the container in the most log-gical place I could find.
**Thanks for placing this cache maximus1978**
