Hi there Swanusguy,

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)

What a delightful hiding spot! We removed the gross face mask from the cache. Thank you!

My second geocache find ever and in the second spot we tried

Great tube & well protected booklet. Cheers!!

Quick pickup today, while on the way to the station for a different pickup. Tftc

I had been to the Ivanhoe shops and was about to head home when I noticed this nearby cache on my GPSr. I drove the short distance to the cache location and managed to get a parking spot right next to GZ....so I realised a few minutes later. I initially searched a spot several metres from my car before my GPSr settled and I realised that I actually needed to look in a spot next to my car. Once at the correct spot I quickly spotted the cache, which was the largest bison tube I have ever seen. There were no muggles on the nearby bowling green so I was easily able to retrieve the cache and sign the log at 4:40 pm. TNLN. I used hand sanitiser before and after finding the cache to stay safe.

Thanks Swanusguy for the well-hidden cache. The Council, or the bowls club, must spend a lot of money keeping the pine trees in the street outside the bowls club so well manicured.

This was lucky as we could park right next door to GZ and make the find. A good access point and easier type of bison to find! Thanks for the placement.

Such a great find! Loved it

A grey Melbourne day but nice to be out for exercise, and a successful find. TFTC

We liked the hand sanitizer!

A fun find during the COVID school holidays. Thank you!

Second time lucky

Love the content!!

Very cute spot and container

Too short a look. Another time.

Super hard \ fun looked in the wrong tree thanks to my mum

Very cute hiding spot

This was a fun activity. Great hiding spot by the way.

This was mine and my partners first find, thanks!

Bigger then expected! TFTC

Nice

Good one

Fairly easy find with my old mate BigRedFtBruce. Bigger canister than I expected! Tftc

Found

All good

That was a great spot

This was a great geo cheers

Fun!

Fun find on a beautiful late autumn day when out for the necessary exercise on another side of Melbourne. TFTC.

Found a handful of geocaches for daily essential exercise. Today we used gloves to practice safe hygiene. Thanks

Fun little cache

First cache experience! Fun!!

Clever!

Last chance to visit the grandkids and last chance to find a cache. Feel I should wait until this is virus is over Used gloves and all good here.
Thanks for this one Swanusguy

Needed a cache for today so made the stop in here during work. The GPS on my phone is terrible but after checking a couple of places I had the cache in hand. TFTC.

YES Another quick find today. I believe the cache needed retrieving for further than intended so I hope I’ve replaced it correctly. GeoDaughter love this one.

27 Feb 2020: Streak Day #364/366 (1 March 2019 - 29 February 2020). Came here after work and searched in dark using torch from my mobile phone, took me a while to locate the prize! Never seen a tree with branches cut down in the middle of the tree! Thanks Swanusguy for placing the cache.

#4726:
I took a train up from the City specifically to get this and another cache. Luckily for me, it was a nice quick find of this huge bison! TFTC.

TFTC. beautiful area. Enjoyed looking at the homes

We were looking in the wrong tree at first but found it in the end! Great Geocache

Found It!
Well that took me quite a bit longer to find than it ever should have. Obvious spot but yet well hidden!
TFTC

Pretty easy find, don't know about any plaque with history though

Easy find, heard a train rumble passed as we were looking for it. Great container btw, no swaps inside.

Was a very quick find once on right tree, phone had me in between, TFTC

hard ngl

Reminiscing about Jens childhood in Ivanhoe and found the cache before stepping on a train back to the city

Good easy find.

Couldn’t find it... pedestrians approached... will try again

Nice one, we like the container!

Doone

What a nice hide. Knew what I was looking for - but got my hints mixed up on the two caches I was looking at trying to find tonight. Keeping my daily streak going. TFTC Swanusguy

It was getting dark. The Antarctic winds were getting colder. And the geodaughter was demanding icecream from the back seat (why couldn't she demand hot chocolate?), so we needed one last quick find for the day. This one fit the bill perfectly. The Flashlight function on my phone did its job and the cache was in hand. Thanks for placing this one for us - great little hiding spot!

Out jewel hunting for the latest souvenir promotion.
A nicely tucked away wee hide. All is good here. Tftc

Great cache . Added some new swaps.

A good hiding spot.

21:50
A morning tea at the 'G' to celebrate a whole lot of blood donation milestones meant a Myki in my pocket. That was too good an opportunity to waste, even if household chores meant it was dark o'clock when I headed out the door and hopped onto the bike.

Three stops for happy snaps including a wait to show up on a traffic cam later, and I was at last able to make bank on a few of the jigsaw puzzles I've done.

Then the fun part: getting to a station. Some severe rainstorms has swept through the area around the river, so the trails on the north side were a bit mucky. But I managed to pick my way past the golf course to a familiar exit point... and a bonus Geocache.

After that, it was just a matter of following the streets to the station. With about twenty minutes before the next train, I had enough time to have a look around here. It took a couple of sweeps, but there it was, where I first looked. A cheeky hide, and not quite the container I expected.

Swanusguy, thanks for another smiley.

Day 46 of my streak, a cache after local footy in Kew, went from tree to tree then back to where I started ! There it was

Thanks Swanusguy for The Pocket-1

Out on my own today checking out this lovel old area. Trying to hade into the back ground as the school was having a working bee when I heard it called out. If you are looking for the geo cache you are looking in the wrong tree. And she was right I was 5 metres. Giving thanks, it was a quick sign off and on my way Thanks for the cache Sawnusguy

We found it. Yippee

Had to sneak around the muggles playing tennis, but found it!

Found during my lunch break thanks

Nice quick find but did require a bit of loitering - seemed to be a muggle rush

It was ok

Never seen a bison of that size before. A bison in a tree can always take a while to spot, but not when they're this size! Tftc

Nicely hidden, all good
Great hide at a nice place to visit
Thanks

I found it and it it still there. Thanks Swanusguy.

Dnf..GZ tree seems to have the middle cut out of it. I'm not sure if I was in the right place or not but the coords took me there and I couldn't find anything but rubbish

Respite from the rain and chance to bring geodog for a wander in the burbs. All quiet today TFTC

We happened to be passing through this part of Ivanhoe today, and managed to find our way to this cache. At GZ we were able to hunt around without much trouble, as there was no game on at the bowls club. We both loved the ‘small’ bison container, too - first one of those we’ve come across and very nifty! TFTC
Caching with Marion133

No bowls today. A very quiet & seemingly idyllic spot. Loved the container - very attractive. Got rid of a bit of rubbish. TFTC

I like the container nice and sturdy!.. has an interesting smell inside smells like my grandma!. Everything looks to be in order anyways!

One of a few caches found on my 6 km walk after work.
Dodged a muggle and swooped in for a quick find.
Thanks for the geocache Swanusguy.
All in good order here, although perhaps a little CITO wouldn't go astray.

Have been meaning to get this one for ages, so took a quick detour today. Fun find, but had to be stealthy with the bowls in play. #30

Collected on a bit of a run through Ivanhoe. T f t c

Found on the way to a mates house on the way to Bendigo for some ingressing

Tftc

Love the container, it was the same as I expected but different to what I expected at the same time. Great spot for a cache.

Found it

With a few long days recently caching down Gippsland way, today we needed a rest.

But with a souvenir on offer from HQ for collecting a cache on the last day of the year, we thought we would at least get one today.

After picking up Child No 1 from a play date in nearby Northcote, we drove here for this cache.

Thanks for the cache Swanusguy. Little Miss made a swap.

It is a nice quiet pocket of suburbia here.

Happy New Year Everyone!

I'm a tree

Good very easy find in a tree. Met the owner while we were there.

Found it, some difficulties initially, then eventually found. Overall good geocache.

Found it

Kids had lots of fun finding this cache, thanks!

Quick find after establishing the correct heart. Wow. This is a huge bison!
Swapped a poker chip for a bouncy ball. TFTC!

No kidding, that is one big 'micro'! Photo with pen and TB for size comparison. Spent a little while looking in the wrong place, but looked around and realised where it should have be, then it was a quick find. TFTC.

Isaviv. On the way home from a medical appointment.

I DNFd here some weeks ago, and today had the to right that wrong. Took a while, mainly because I was interested in the wrong spot, but eventually I gave up on that and found the biggest micro I've seen yet. Thanks Swanusguy

A nice Sunday and a ride was originally planned but logisitics meant a walk was better suited. Paused to watch the local athletes bowl then came for a quick find. Thanks to Swanusguy for placing this cache.
