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 Cransie,

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. The cache is being temporarily disabled, 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 CO's of caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis will be given some extra time to react, as it is acknowledged that CO's can't always just pop out and fix the issue. Caches where the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain will not be archived.

#What should you do:-#
- Should the regional Health and Victorian Government requirements allow it **AND** you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, please feel free to do so.

- **Alternatively,** what you need to do is place a Write Note log indicating a date when you expect/hope you might be able to attend to the issue/s.

#Please Note#
When the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment from the CO as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned and processed accordingly.

Took some friends out to find this one after I found it last year and was only able to find the logbook far away from the coords near the road, with the cache itself nowhere placed logbook near the hiding spot for safekeeping.

BINGO - on the crazy trail exploring the burbs so to speak. Seeing a new perspective on Craigeburn - plenty of diversity - it’s fantastic to see how natural features and spots have been preserved. And a kind young cyclist stopped and asked me if I’m ok - a case of thanks but just dropped something! TFTC

Hi there Cransie,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **MAY** need some attention. You would have received an automated email from Geocaching HQ recently which explained what needs to be done.

Unfortunately, nothing seems to have happened, so I am having to take the next step and temporarily disable the cache - see here: [**Geocache Health Score.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) .

**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.

Out and about last night with Trailstevo and decided to hit Craigieburn. We had a pretty good outing finding most in the area in about 3 hours. A bunch of short brisk walks, a great variety of hides (and a few fav's to hand out) and some pleasant views from the higher vantage points. Double figures of cache and lots of smiley faces. Thanks to Cransie, Chof_hoe, Lauri-wills & Blakepolly16 for the fun night out.

On the way home from work again, sadly this happens too many times each week but I'm working on reducing it. On the plus side it gives me some caching time Smile
Nice quick find here in this very pretty setting.
**Thanks for placing this cache CransieKrams**

Decided to revisit this one now it's been replaced. Wow that was a lot quicker. Log was VERY wet when I opened it. Ink had run everywhere. I dried it out and then added my entry then put it back. Most names were still legible. TFTC.

Typically, the idiots at the Estate Agents have effectively given us five days' notice of a routine inspection, so I've spent the entire day wrestling the garden into submission.

Anyway... Here I am, aiming for a smiley with less than half an hour of the day remaining. Fortunately, the short walk from the nearby parking spot took longer than finding this cache, so I was most of the way back down the bypass road before the new day began, despite the plethora of roundabouts.

So, that makes it nineteen days running. Thanks, Cransie & Krams

Went and checked it out today with krams and it was gone. Started walking back to the car deciding what to do and then krams spotted it on the ground near a near by log! Lucky catch+ cache is back in it's place:) happy caching

No luck today. We started with three sets of eyes and another cacher joined us. We had a PAF and still no luck for the four of us today.
 
31-Dec-17
We met another Cacher here and together we looked for quite a while, but looks like its gone missing.
 
31-Dec-17
There were 4 of us. No cache

Found it!
 
Today we are visiting a family member in Craigieburn and of course we looked after some caches. This was one of them. The kids where also with us and Ewan was the one that found the cache.

Cransie & Krams, thanks for this cache,

Some beautiful old gum trees here. It's great to see they have survived the Urban sprawl. An easy find using the hint. Nice place to walk the Geo-dogs.

Thanks **CransieKrams**

I haven't really been out this way, other than driving past on the freeway, for almost 15 years so it was certainly interesting to see how much it had changed since my last visit.

After finding a spot to park I made my way to gz, resisting the urge to go looking for the tree swing that was indicated on a nearby sign. After approaching down low from the wrong angle I spotted it just as I was about to retreat so was able to walk around and make the grab. Thanks for the cache Cransie & Krams.

Suscoe decided to have a day trip to this area to check out the caches to the north of Melbourne.
We got away early and had an enjoyable wander in an area we haven't been to before.
What a mixture of building types and ages.
Thanks to Cransie & Krams for this hide, a nice area and a nice hiding spot.
 
17-Aug-17
Our help had been enlisted to find the cache accross the park from here, and so we made a quick stop to pick this one up too.

This cache was a much easier find. We made our mark, and returned the cache to it's home. TFTC Cransie!

Find #128 @ 4:41pm. Nearly fell over board looking for the cache. I see the council has planned this area well with lots of open park & space for the people to revitalize and relax. TFTC.

Going out for tea and doing my footy tips as well I thought I would grab this one before going to the pub
Parked at the pub and went for a walk to GZ
I have lived up here for quite a few years and must admit I have never ventured up to this area before
They have done a good job of keeping some of the original gums
A quick search of the "bridge" and I soon had the cache in hand
Now to find time to search for the next one that is in the trees further up the path I presume
Thanks Cransie & Krams TFTC

A quick find here after I put my hand on it when feeling. Hope there are no spiders in there Smile
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for hiding this geocache as without people who can hide geoachers there is nothing for other geocachers to find.

I waited out a few muggles before searching along until spotting it in a place I'd looked originally. I had spent a lot of time searching for a cache across the park and it started to get dark as I left meaning I ran out of light and time to return to redeem my dnf. Thanks for the cache here Smile
