Unfortunately, there has not been a response to the last request/s to attend to this cache, or provide regular updates. As a result it must be assumed that the cache has been abandoned by the cache owner and regretfully, the cache is now de-listed (Archived).

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained here: [**Unarchive a geocache**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56). 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.

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 Identification Code.

Might be time for this one to disappear off the map.

Hi Bradshaw Clan,

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. The cache is being 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.

Whilst it is recognized that as a result of the current COVID19 situation, it might not be possible for a Cache Owner to just pop out and check on a cache, we still need to know that you are on top of the issue.

CO's of caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis will be given some extra time to react. Caches where the cache owner does not currently feel it is safe to maintain will not be archived in the normal time frame, as long as there is some indication from the CO. **Don't let a lack of communication kill this cache.**

#What should you do:-#
- Should the Regional Health and State Government requirements allow it **AND** you feel it safe for you to maintain 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.

**JUST A HINT:-** In case you are not aware, there is a 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)

Hi there Bradshaw Clan.

This is the 1st of 1 caches we didn't find today. [:(!]

We spent quite some time here but we just couldn't locate your cache, so here's a DNF from us.

Regards
Ian and Penny

Hi there Bradshaw Clan,

RE: Your cache **"Fetch a pale of water"**

Realising that the three prior DNF's were all on the same day (and probably from the same group) we spent some considerable time here looking for your cache.

We are really sorry to confirm that the cache is probably missing. It really needs some owner TLC.

We would have liked to replace/maintain the cache but we were really unprepared today and had nothing to replace it with.

Regards

Ian & Penny

Maybe tampered with

Not able to find unfortunately. Hopefully just not very good at looking not that cache has gone missing?

No idea

Found but log is full

We didn't need the special tool for this one as it isn't quite as it is supposed to be. The log is also extremely full. Nice quick find. Thanks for the cache.

Day six of a camping road trip with Papi4506, Geoturtle37 & RoamingHowie.
With NSW out of bounds, today we focussed on Mildura town caches.
Didn’t need the special tool here. Logbook full.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache, Bradshaw Clan

Continuing my first caching adventure with OzHockeyChick, Papi4506 & GeoTurtle37 and a mega adventure it is! No special tool required today as cache is not quite set correctly which made for a quick find. Log is now full
Thanks Bradshaw Clan for placing the hide!

Found at 1:22 PM GAFF1.
We feared that we were going to have actually bring "a pale of water", but when we arrived we found that there was no need [^]
Thanks Bradshaw Clan

Found

Found with Rohkad. Easy cache to spot, I don't think it was where its meant to be exactly....as it meant the TOTT was not needed. Logbook is also full. Needs a maintenance run CO. Tftc!

TFTC

Nice easy cache. Great for the kids. Not hidden well. Signed log and left a couple of little surprises. TFTC!

Tftc a very quick find while out walking yesterday morning. The log is almost full

TFTC!

Travelling wilberries Maegen and lou at it again

Fist cache of this type, may work better if you weren’t able to pick it up so people actually have to use the special tool

Mildura, Day 3

This morning it was out to complete the turtle trail.
We continued out towards the bend in the river, we seemed to get confused with all the various tracks out here.
Today we found such a variety of caches, puzzles, multi & some clever gadget caches which we really enjoyed.

As previous cachers have mentioned this needs some TLC . It will add more to the pleasure of the find.

Thanks for placing this cache Bradshaw Clan

First time geocaching had no clue on what I was looking for little did I know I had picked it up at the start of our search

Found with Knipe raider

Found , need maintenance but love these sorts of caches. Have a fav never the less

Decided to stick near the river today on the Victorian side. Copped my share of dust so car needs a hose down and possibly I do too Some interesting trails through here and spotted another blue tongue lizard Fun day out sightseeing and caching

The container was horizontal, think it’s supposed to be upright Could not see a way to fix it.

TFTC

Interesting set up here but we weren't sure how it should be. Anyway a pleasant stroll. Thanks

Awesome day for caching.

After a lovely pie from Banjo's Bakery in Mildura, back at my cabin, i set out after lunch to continue my caching adventure [^]

This one was 1st in a line of caches in this area for me to find and sign
Found this cache construction lying on the ground with it's internal cache just outside it [:o]
I'm sure the construction should be fastened and upright.
Placed it upright where i think it may be but the CO should check on it just to be sure.

SL at 14:11 on 2/2/20.

Jack and Jill may need to bring a pail of concrete and a shovel !

In the meantime this neatly constructed cache is quite easy to retrieve and achieve

Living nearby for a few days and this was an easy walk from our accomodation with river views.

Enjoying the wildlife and Mildura caches

School holiday fun!
All this week we are together as a team, so
logs with the team Mattycat stamp include Purrfect Di, Jack, and Sebastbat
as well as muggle Alex. Some may get some initials as well

I came well prepared but turned out to be easier than expected. Perhaps it is no longer mounted as it was originally? Cache #3196.

Found it !!!

Day 97 of our trip. Caching along the way. In Mildura today. Out with Benetooks3 ( granddaughter). A total of 14 for the day and 2680 for the trip. TFTC

Sunday morning, first day of summer, with a sprinkling of rain out and about in the very good company of Suscoe, seeking some caches relatively close to the centre of town. We arrived at this cache with some rather makeshift tools and all the laughing nearly made us lose the match. A FP for the fun.

Thanks 'Bradshaw Clan' for adding this cache to the geo-gameboard.

Suscoe headed out today for another interesting wander around Mildura in the great company of Phetlern.
It was a very different day today with some rain overnight and during the day with much cooler temperatures.
We appreciated the cooler weather.

Thanks to the Bradshaw Clan for this hide, we had a bit of fun with an improvised carrying system
The cache finally arrived and we were happy.
A favourite from us.

We arrived at this cache with the necessary tools to retrieve the cache. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Bradshaw Clan for the cache.

Have seen some similar to this so knew what was needed.
I love in plain sight caches.
Thanks so much.

Two short trips to the river got the cache.

A houseboat adventure on the Murray for 6 nights with my family and Becca85’s family saw the hubbies pull up to a spot with geocaches (no prompting from us). So we decided to head out first thing in the morning and find a few caches before we moved downstream. Nicely constructed. Have done lots of these over my time. Thanks for the cache.

LOL dejavu

On a houseboat for the week with GemmaSistema & family, we managed to notch up quite a few finds. A familiar find, we quickly had this one sorted. TFTC

After a morning visit to Lake Mungo, family Perpetuallylost headed over to this part of town to try our caching luck, mainly to find the two mystery caches in the area but also pick up any others we may go past.
Our last find for the area, and fortunately I had just the right TOTT in the geomobile with me to work this cache out. I've seen a few like this one, but this was easily in the best condition of them. Pleasure to do this one and well done Bradshaw Clan on its construction. Thx again

We have been to fix this geocache and all is back up and running smoothly again.. It seems this cache keeps getting removed from the ground to be tipped out. Please note that to retrieve the log book this geocache does not need to be removed from the ground and i was a little concerned about an item that was shoved into the capsule and wish to remind people that if you want to leave a very small swap please make sure it is child friendly. Sorry to sound grouchy but we only want the best experience for our fellow cachers. Thank you to FelixII for letting us know that this cache was damaged so we could fix it.
Thank you

Seems this Geocache has been damaged again we will disable it until we can get to GZ and suss out what is going on and whether or not we should relocate it or if it is a design error.
Thank you
Happy caching

Travelling around Australia, camped on the mighty Murray. The 'house' is still where it was when it rained but we managed to get 'out' in the GeoCruiser to tackle a few more local caches today.

TFTC

This cache has been damaged and is no longer how we believe the owner intended.

Found this rather different geocache - we have seem quite a few versions of this type but not this one before. Nothing came out when what should have helped it out was used - eventually on turning it a certain way when empty the container did come out. So put it all back together but it kept coming out when placed in a certain way so am not sure what the matter was - there was also a small golden ?duck that came out with the container and even when this was put back first or last the cache did not work as it should i.e when using what is should need to appear. Thought that the position of the cache was not where it should be - perhaps CO could please check this one out?
TFTC Bradshaw Clan and do hope you are able to sort it out please.

Easy find with the kids.

Easy find

TFTC

Wonderful find! Allot of fun! Thank you

Gps is a little off, but is still in the area

Very late in the cold and dark i wander over to this cache to get the cache souviner.
Thanks for the cache

??????

Noice one! But I just tipped it

??

We found cache but feel all is not quite right with it. TFTC

Tftc

Found with the kids, a really fun and inventive cache
TFTC

Nice work., but watch out for the release! lol

Thanks

We came out after work with the kids in tow to hunt down this cache. On arriving at gz we spotted a well made cache. We had the right thing needed to retrieve the container holding the log book. A lot of fun had by everyone. The kids were excited when the container was retrieved. Fav point from us. Thanks The Bradshaw Clan!

Cache is back up and running again

Unfortunately this cache is out of action until we can get a chance to fix it I will temporarily disable it for now.
Thank you 4Moule for contacting us in regards to the damaged cache.

Not at all what I was expecting. Nice work. TFTC

TFTC

Thank you!

so close but so far away not home till Thursday.
not far from our house

{FTF} 4.15pm. Yay! Saw this pop up on the map earlier in the day so headed out after-work with the GeoFamily. Upon arrival the aptly named cache was easily located... Now how to retrieve it? Quick stroll back to the car and then we had the required tool. After GeoHubby missed a vital step on the first attempt, we quickly had the cache and log signed after the second attempt. Such a clever yet simple idea! Had seen similar online but never in the wild. Was nice to experience something new. TFTC.
