Hidden Gem Yallourn North, Victoria, Australia

Based on subsequent logs, it would seem there are still issues with this placement.

Just placing an Owner Maintenance log and Enabling your cache without addressing the issue is not in accordance with the Guidelines - see here: [Maintain cache page online](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance)

Accordingly, this cache is being de-listed (Archived).

If there are components or remnants of the cache, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Georubbish.

Found cache but has a damp full log so don’t know if I found the old cache or it wasn’t missing at all.

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

----------

Hi there grannygeo64,

It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is an issue. The cache has been temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed.

**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 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 logs of praise to roll in.

- **Place A Write Note Log::-** Reviewers are not mind readers (unfortunately), 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.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) 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 ensure you visit the page and post a note 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 those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when a Reviewer next looks at the cache page, it is likely that they will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) 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.

**JUST A TIP:-** Have you checked out the 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,

A trip to check out all the awesome places in eastern Victoria. TFTC.
Totally have up on this one. Was half way out of the driving area before deciding to return for another try.

Found It!
The coordinates seemed a little out here but after wandering around in the trees for a bit I found the cache.
TFTC

Nice little spot here. Logbook was really wet. Hard to write this one could use a bit of maintenance

Logbook really wet. All the signatures have bled

Well, this was a bit of an adventure! The posted co-ords weren't a great help and the new co-ords posted by the CO back in October, 2018 didn't really help either. I suspect between the tree cover and the heavy cloud cover, my GPS wasn't being particularly accurate .
Eventually, however, on my way back down the rather muddy slope I spotted the cute little container in it's nest!

Thanks for find #3699

Took a while to find but great

Met up in Yallourn North for an afternoon of caching with the lovely Tix13. Headed out to a group of caches at Lake Narracan This one had is all over the place with the technology as confused as we became. Widened our search, still no joy. Why oh why isn’t there a hint to guide us a bit. Eventually stumbled across this cute container but quite a way from where indicated. The degree of difficulty seems too low for this micro in the bush with uneven ground TFTC grannygeo64

Took some time we almost gave up. Lol

Had some free time to do some geocaching while waiting for it get dark enough to do some Christmas light looking geobae was the brave soul who did the bush bash to collect this one, unfortunately the log was too wet to sign but we took a picture TFTC

Found with margaretforr1987 could not sign as log was wet and after following the comments found it 6 meters away from the GZ and took a photo

This was a lesser nice area than I had hoped. Also the GPS was 6metres off.
Tftc. Another smiley on the map

Found it after some bush bashing by geoson. Tftc

DNF after search..
thanks

D1.5 ? for micro in the forest
No hint

Could not find

Heading down this way to collect the latest member of our family, we had an hour spare to collect a few geocaches. Its been a long time since I've going waterskiing at Lake Narracan.

This way took way to long to find. For 2 reasons. The first being that I was show it was at the large water tank and as such went there first. Secondly because I had the geocache about 6 meters away from the GZ. But found and signed in the end

Thanks for the cache Granny Geo 64

TFTC

Tftc. Found with tb142, kezza1211 and naturegirl.

Great hide tftc

Took a while. Need to be just at the right angle! Loved the cache! Fav point.

Sitting at my computer during these Covid lockdowns, I am trying to catch up on a few logs that I haven't sent in yet.

Over the years, geocaching has taken me on many adventures, including interesting destinations all over my home continent of Australia and many overseas as well. It has also introduced me to a diverse group of like-minded caching tragics, many of whom I now call close friends.

Today, I was lucky enough to be out and about searching for caches, something I do on almost a daily basis. This was one cache that was targeted and found.

Sorry for the late log, something I am notorious for. Thank you for adding to the adventure that is geocaching.

Thanks grannygeo64 for the cache.

We were heading to Sale for "It's my birthday and I will have an event if I want to"
event with micaparamedic and being that it is February 29th we were also gathering some different types of caches so when this cache appeared along with a nearby mystery we decided that a detour would be very worthwhile thing.

There was also this trad here. With the ground still quite muddy from the recent rains we headed off thinking , "why a micro in the bush" and not feeling too confident. Once at gz our fears were averted and the cache was located quickly inside some amusing cammo and the log now contains our name. Here things went slightly wrong as the branch Diane was supporting herself with decided not to cooperate any more sending her skidding off down the hill where she left another signature consisting of skin and blood. There were two men trying very hard not to laugh as they helped her up.

Thanks again grannygeo64 for the cache.

Pretty spot on coordinates for me. Just took being above the spot to see the hidey hole then it was an obvious placement. I can see how people would get frustrated though. Cache found in good condition. Tftc

Found today with Joolay on a trip to Victoria to attend a funeral. We stopped off to get the Challenge cache and grabbed this one too

TFTC grannygeo64

Quick find. With Kittykatch. Coords good. On a trip to Korumburra to attend a funeral but time to get Counties along the way.

Tricky hide, loved the gem TFTC

Find #10395

After an early morning parkrun in Traralgon, day1976 and I headed towards home at a very casual pace, picking up a handful of select caches along the way.

Our destination was a couple of Earth caches and there happened to be a Traditional nearby. WIN!

Many thanks to grannygeo64 for the cache. TNLN.

Big things are continuing to happen! *Are you joining the fun again in 2019?*

*16th / 17th November 2019 – GC7DN55 – St Arnaud – Victoria*

Found after a lot of back and forth stuff. Didn't help that the new co-ordinates taken by the CO have not been updated to the page yet. Found it in the end though.

Having just found the COs nearby Challenge cache and then completed the COs nearby Earthcache we came to search for this one, which we quickly located once at Ground Zero. We signed the log book and then replaced as found and then returned to our hired cache-mobile for a Hot Cross Bun before continuing on our way. Thanks so much for the cache and greetings from Zimbabwe

My coords lead me into dense bushland, and as I only came prepared for T1.5 I wasn't game to go in.

Eaten alive by bugs

red hot find

hi the cache has been replaced the revised co ords are
s38 09.973 e146 20.264

The Gem remains hidden for this cacher.

Thanks anyway grannygeo64

the cache that got away.
No luck today.
Thank you any way grannygeo64

No luck at this one today..... next time.

No luck on this one unfortunately, these things happen.

Thanks for the cache hide grannygeo64

Out with geowife and geo mate And after a good look around couldn’t find it

Dang it... after quite an extensive search with hubby and an expert GCer we could not find it.

No luck started raining about 5 min after I arrived and I searched for about 15 min but was getting quite wet so will have to come back sometime.

After looking for quite a while in the rain we gave up. The hide was too good for us. Thanks for the challenge.

I thought this was hoi g to be like looking for a needle in a haystack. But it was the first place I looked. Tftc

A nice day to be out caching and found this cache today.

Sneaky place to put a cache but mine eyes found it.

Knowing we had a couple in the area, it was nice to stop and have a wander. I went early with the "found it" only to see it was rubbish, the a few more steps in the right direction and the critter was found. Odd to touch fella but the log was soon filled. I think I must be closer to a hidden creature by now too.

Thanks Heaps. Great to be out here today after a local event just up the road.
Cheers

Mrs Papi was out with a like minded group today and this was one of the great caches found. Some took the hard way whilst others just walked in, lol. Thanks for the cache and bringing us here.

1:25 pm #6147
Road Trip day with MrsPapi4506 & 4B Ninjas.
I certainly found the hard way in to this one as my GPSr had me heading the wrong way at first.
Cheers grannygeo64

15 Jul 2018, Found @1:33 pm, Find # 1754

Found with OzHockeyChick, 4bninjas and Papi4506 after the Robot Charlie workshop. A nice easy find.

Thanks to grannygeo64 for placing this cache

Nice to touch.......not

I finally found one. Sometimes it pays to be short. Tftc

Took the kids and I little bit to find it. Followed the gps and led us to this cute geo cache.

A dive in the bush after like everyone else seeing an obvious choice found that our gps was so far away we had it wrong. Got it in the end.tyftc

This cache led me into the bush and needing to follow a minor track in because someone had dumped a whole lot of branches on the main track in. Then to hope the GPS signal is right in leading me to GZ. Whether it was right or not my finding device lead me straight to the cache. Then the wonderment of the cache itself. A true gem in the bush, so yet another favourite point used this afternoon. It it successfully covered the log container so everything was fine and dry. TFTC Love it

I sat with the geomutts as n0w0rries went stumbling around in the bush.
He soon returned with the cache to remove the log.
Such a cutie. Thanks grannygeo64.

Took a wrong turn and ended up checking out the hidden tank on the rise.
After returning to the right level, the cute cache was soon spotted.
Extraction required a trip out to the car for the required TOTT.
+Wife was impressed, she took some photos with her resident trackable ****** who sits on the dash of our geoprado.
Signed and replaced, as found.
Thank you for bringing us here and for the cache, grannygeo64.

Lovely spot. Quick and easy find So quiet here. Thanks for the cache grannygeo64
With Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.

A quick and easy find after doing some other caches in the immediate area!

Quick find after getting through the bush. TFTC grannygeo64

This is a fantastic location and with the sunny weather this morning it was an ideal time to visit. A quick look and something caught my eye, which turned out to be the cute container. This spot certainly is a hidden gem.

Thanks to grannygeo64 for placing this cache.

The GPS was very vague on this one, just didn't seem to want to commit so i wandered back and forth a bit before taking the plunge into the undergrowth after nearly stepping on some piles of used toilet paper ambled further in until some colour on the ground ahead caught my eye. It was the cache! Not at all what I expected or where I it but a cache nonetheless!! TFTC!

At first I wasn't too thrilled about the idea of a micro in the bush but once at GZ this little guy was an easy find. Nice spot here, TFTC!

A great location, would never of known about if not for caching. Thanks for the cache.

**# 20469** Found on a drive to Moe with Rebel Acts and Ski Pair while staying nearby.
Lots of muggles around today and a good variety of hides again.
Thanks for the cache grannygeo64,
***Roostaman***

We have been doing a bit of caching consistently in recent days which is quite unusual for us at this time of year when we are home. We usually cache on the road!
Today we are out in the Moe area with Roostaman and Rebel Acts to search in the Moe area.
We found a variety of caches with differing hides, successfully found some multis, completed Earthcaches and finished off puzzles we had solved prior to the day. All in all a successful day with lots of fun and visits t most of the areas around Moe.
We remembered this area again from our Uni days when we had visited Lake Narracan, but we don't remember it the way we saw it today, other than the ski jump. No one skiing here however.
Luckily we managed to spot this one as we made our way to GZ so made a quick find.
TFTC

Parked and wadded our way through the rubbish and headed to the cache signed and made our way back. There is lots of broken glass please take care when finding this cacbe.
CJJAHC

Thanks for the cache



*Found with [Geooh Live](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohLive)*

Out and about while the sun is shining and grab a couple of coaches
before something else becomes more important. No snakes just spiders.
Thanks grannygeo64 FTC.

Tftc. In amongst the rubbish (some now removed). Returned here after the local water skiers started turning up last Saturday morning.

Last cache to find in this area after grabbing the challenge cache nearby and finding clues to the EC. Radar was playing tricks with me for this one but the range finder was spot on and the little 'critter' was found at last. Tftc

Had to get out after Xmas day, so I drove out here for a couple of cache
Nice friendly little fella just needs a pat

Tftc grannygeo

Finally got the bugger like him

??

Late logging as normal collected this one last while oyt replacing it with the co nothing like stepping into the set off the blaire witch project to stick our name to tge log tftc

he was found last night but the finder couldn't find his home in the dark I will put him back in the morning

He is home waiting to be found

{FTF}

Was over in tgon for poker and just heading to the car when I heard *ding*. 2 new caches... this late???? Oh well. What the hell... so off I drove to gz, still in my work uniform from the day. By this time it was around 11pm. I was totally unprepared but thought it couldn’t be that hard. Armed with only my headlights (of no use) and the trusty flashlight on my phone I headed in. I instantly regretted it. It was way too dark, way too quiet and with every noise I got a little more freaked out. Remind me why we do this...... We have to be some sort of crazy right??? It took a long time and I was just about to give up when I found it. Aaaaahhhhh 1% battery on my phone and I hadn’t taken tweezers into the bush. I retreated back to the car to grab them and charge my phone enough to get the little fella back home.. only thing was.... I couldn’t find his home!!!! For the life of me I couldn’t find it. I messaged the CO and organised with her to put it in a safe place until she can go back out and take him home. I’m so sorry!!!! I feel terrible. All in all. Fun adventure and love every little bit of this game we play. TFTC Granny xxx
