### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###

Hi there South-West,

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 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)

**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days so others know exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication kill this cache.**

#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 and repair and/or 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 praises.

- **Place A Write Note Log:-** Reviewers are not mind readers, so without your note on the cache page telling them what the situation is, they can't tell what is going on with the cache.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) and, when the listing is next checked, all will be fine for a little bit longer. But 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 ensure you visit this page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks so as to keep everyone up to speed with what is happening.

- **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, 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.

**JUST A TIP:-** Have you checked out the new Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own? Have a read about it [**HERE.**](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/07/welcome-to-the-cache-owner-dashboard/?newsletter=PM) You will find your very own dash board [**HERE**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner?utm_source=geocaching&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=COD)

Thanks for your cooperation,

Had help of grand sons but we couldn’t find it. Great area

Nice spot though

Sorry but Wendy, Cate and Margie couldn’t find it.

Searched hi and low. No log or container.

Nice little place, hopefully one day there will be more water here tftc
Also there was no container when we got here, just the log book

Found the log !

My first find

Based on logs back as far as January 2020, this cache appears to be in need of some owner attention, please.

15:51
Given the previous logs, it would seem the cache has been MIA and in need of CO attention for some time now - nothing there to be found!

Anyway, thanks South-West for bringing us to this location.

*This log composed and published using Geocaching Swiss Army Knife (GSAK).*

Paper only

Found but with a difference. The log is there but the container has gone.

Tftc

No tube or container unsure if moved from original spot as coordinates would have put it in water

Still no container but signed the paper

Box missing, found the signed paper.

Good hiding spot. Forgot a pen so didn't sign the paper

Good one!!

Very well hidden

Cache container was missing, just the log there. BYO pen ️

No cache, just the log. Signed and out back where we found it ️

My first find of the day while heading to Murray Sunset NP for the weekend. A nice quick find but the container was missing only the log scroll was in place.
Thanks

Found it

Found old log book. Last entry 2016. Could not find recent one

Found It!
A nice little walk and a quick find. Rather wet here today, thankfully the cache is undercover!
TFTC

Right where you said it would be !

Cache found nice and quickly on a drive to the grampians. Thanks for the cache all looks to be in good order order.

A quick find whilst enjoying a stroll after a fabulous lunch at the pub. Lovely bird life around. TFTC

Interesting spot with lots of history and scenery, TFTC.

Found with sixy2sue on 26/9. Tftc

Easy find in this lovely spot. Thanks for bringing us here!

What a lovely little spot. A quiet restful break from my long drive today. TFTC

Took us a while but from finally found it

While spending a week at the caravan park in beautiful Dunkeld we decided to drive a circuitous route heading west/northwest and return grabbing a few caches on the way.

This was our first find today. Would have liked to do the Settler’s Walk but Geohubby has quite a few stitches in his leg at the moment so will hopefully return sometime in the future

Wouldn’t want to have been a guest at the nearby gaol house in years gone by. Solid walls, very dark and damp cells...probably a good deterrent.

Many thanks for the hide South-West

Nice

Interesting the sign on the gate says no camping, look down the road a bit there is people camping oops TFTC

Very smart clue!

Even drove through the river

Great find on the way home from Australia Day at Glendining/Rocklands.
Was a bit of a struggle to find, and ended up locating it under the platform. Looks like some of the local birds had found the cache, half chewed on the container and dropped it. Still cache is in good condition.

Found with Beaker and Astronaut99 on our way home from Rocklands for the Australia Day long weekend. Thanks

Easy one!

Beautiful place! Love the settlers cottage!

Easy

Found on a trip to Hamilton from Horsham a quick find aided by the hint. TFTC.

??????

We needed to pop over to Hamilton to visit a sick friend of Mr Morris. We left the caravan at the delightful Dunkeld caravan park and travelled across both days.

Today we travelled via this interesting little town, lots of caching potential here. We loved the yarn bombed tree.
Thanks for adding to a terrific weekend South-West

Harder than we thought. Nice info board though.

Easy

We passed this cache about a year ago, but I really wanted to find it today. It just looked so pretty and relaxing down there. The Hint helped as GPS put me about 8m away due to the cloudy day and tree cover. Luckily I had the place to myself to explore the art work and find the cache. I needed a bit of time to find the treasure, but it was well worth it. Favourite point will be awarded for the location and hide.

What a great little spot.

Today I worked in Horsham and with the afternoon free I decided to drive the long way back to Ballarat via the western side of the Grampians. The trip took me 6.5 hours instead of the usual 2! Lol. I've never driven these roads so I enjoyed the journey. The sun was shining, beautiful green grass and yellow canola fields everywhere with the Grampians rising above. An easy find here - many thanks for the cache.

Lovely location here in a quiet little town.

Cache took a couple of looks then spotted. Wonder what this is like in summer? Cheers and thanks for placing.

Day 2 of my latest road trip in Australia. This time 5 days around VIC with a 1 night/day stay in SA to regions I have not yet discovered. Today had me Starting in Ballarat and finishing in Naracoorte. A lot of great little towns and it was awesome seeing the Grampians up so close.
27 caches today incl 1 Wherigo.

#17 - Took a little bit to spot this one. Up and down, back and forth. Up again, finally! Thanks for the cache. Made it harder than it should have been.

Thanks Marly8120

Since moving from New Zealand in 2016 I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches.
So far I’ve knocked off 4 of the states. VIC, SA, NSW and A.C.T all multiple times.
No two areas are the same here and almost every place I go to is stunning. The beauty of caching is that it takes you to so many places you would never usually find.
Thank you to all the cachers out there for hiding and maintaining their caches. Especially to those who put so much effort into creating unique and fun hides.
I enjoy finding well maintained caches in fun and unique cache containers. No one likes finding a mint tin – but a find is a find after all.
Well she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin' that there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
Yeah, an d if she had to die
Tryin' she had one little promise
She was gonna keep
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
It was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
She could the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves crashin' in the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful
Something that's so close
And still so far out of reach
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

Found it! En route to Port Fairy for the long weekend. Great spot to explore! TFTC

Found while catching up on local caches. Enjoyed the drive. TFTC

Great view of the wannon river environs

Nice location

This was the first time I have walked around the area and while the family went for a toilet break and leg stretch I headed across the road and went for a wander around the area and then went and made a quick find at the gz. Thanks Marly8120 for the cache and for highlighting this great little area to explore.

Nice quick park and grab. Great clue. TFTC

After finding somewhere to park in the shade I took the stroll to the cache found quickly thanks for the cache & hint

Going for a dusk walk after a 37 degree day. Lovely location, found as described... just above the 1946 flood line!! TFTC

On our way home from Australia day camping at Rocklands we saw this little guy without a smiley face.

A nice easy find in an obvious spot. A stretch of the legs, a quick couple photos and we're on our way again.

TFTC

Another find by the McPhail family.

Nicely hidden according to description. TFTC.

Read the hint just as GeowifeE wad doing exactly that.

Fairly easy one in 38degree heat! Tftc

This was a good one follow the clues, and its easy, even in nearly 40 degrees

Nice hide cheers

The cache itself was easily located, then I got a stick to remove spiders' webs and it was easily retrieved.

After returning it, I walked along from here to the Grampians Lookout along Settler's walk and it was a nice pleasant river walk. The scenery felt like river scenery I have seen in many places in Victoria, but the tranquil finishing spot with the Grampians lookout was a nice place to sit for a while and soak in the view (and catch up on email/news while I had mobile connectivity )

Thanks for the cache.

Cavendish is a lovely little towne
And well looked after by the locals

I headed down to the settlers walk,
I passed jail,
I did no pass go [:o)]
And in the swamp a cache was soon spied

TFTC.
I like these sturdy little containers [^]

had one sheep standing where we wanted to be - seems she wanted to be on the other side of us - didnt want to spook her - took us a while to spot till we looked from a different direction - tftc

Top day for trip to Hamilton, found and signed. TFTC

Found it! Today we visited a dear friend in Nareen. We drove from Halls Gap via Cavendish so stoped to find a couple of caches in the way back. A quick find. TFTC SL. Glad it wasn’t flooded today!

TFTC

Quick and easy find as a prelude to a lovely river stroll. Love the little local history tidbits. Thank you Marly8120

A beautiful day day for a cache
Lovely history out here. Found with Malea263

A beautiful spring day took Jesshayes and myself out for a caching day. We got to GZ but it only took us a moment to realise that GZ was slightly off. We walked on a little further to quickly find the cache. TfTC

Almost first. Ive got here second. about 2 pm Its very wet currently and i was worried that if i dropped the cache i'd not be able to retrieve it. As it's a micro i had a bit of trouble getting it out of the container. When i rolled the log up i placed it in the lid. Hope it's easier for the next. Might pay to take something to extract the log from a micro. TFTC

Found the cache today at 12 noon A very wet day to be caching Wow another first to find Signed the log and Thanks Marley8120 for placing this cache.
