**Cache Archived**Unfortunately, it would seem this hide has lost its minder. As there has been no response to a previous request to attend to this cache (14/Jul/2024), it would appear the cache has effectively been abandoned.Cache ownership requires attendance to maintenance matters which, apart from physically looking after a cache and making regular visits to both check the cache and replace used logs, can include updating any changes to the text, updating coordinates, responding to Reviewer enquiries, removing Needs Maintenance attributes and Enabling the listing. If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, 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 a Reviewer regarding this cache, please send an email via the profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

----------### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUESTED PLEASE** ###----------Hi there Cache Owner,This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **possibly** needs 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 the cache is being temporarily disable - 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 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 you need to do:-#You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-- **Check On The Cache** - once checked, place an Owner Maintenance log and then enable the cache.- **Place A Write Note Log** - indicating a date when you expect it will be restored. - **Adopt Out or Archive** - depending on whether you want it kept or for it to disappear.Full details for each of the above choices can be found at [**GEOCACHE MAINTENANCE**]( https://wiki.groundspeak.com/display/GEO/Victoria) on the Regional Policies page.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. [xx(] It would be far better if you decide, so please do something before then. Please don't send an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.Thanks for your cooperation,Bunjil (Pete & Helen)Volunteer Reviewers - Australia[3AS]

Road is closed. Under water

looked like we had to go in a private gateway. and area was still wet it is a no from us today

Unfortunately the area is flooded and the walk path is 5 feet deep @ 500 metres away.I think it is need of the owners intervention.CheersThe Coffee's

needs boat..lol

Visited it during 28-days geotrip to Australia, N.Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, Am.Samoa, Fr.Polynesia with Marci, Ch. Sometimes we logged as "MT" or "Jonea" or "MTCh". Thanks for showing nice caches and places. MT-Jonea from Brno city in Czechia EU.

The area is all under water and blocked off.

Looks like it would be a nice walk, usually. However currently you'd have to swim to the cache or take a boat. See picture. So did not even get near the cache location.

TFTC jezhug. Fabulous location and placement. Jimmytherat with Noelle04

Thanks Jezhug, great spot for a cache & nice placement. Found with Jimmytherat on a 3 day road trip.

Yippee, another mini geocache found.

Found it

Finally finishing the last few caches in the lakes entrance area on Australia Day 2023. Nice easy find tftc

Upped the terrain rating on this one by reaching it by kayak. Beautiful morning enjoying the peace and serenity out here compared to Lakes central. Cache found in good order but tight finding a blank space on the log.
Thanks for the fun

YAY - found Picnic by the Lake today. Was in Nowa Nowa for a kayaking adventure and this was my last cache in town to find. The whole area was so peaceful compared to the metropolis of Lakes - it was a pleasure to be out here. Thanks for placing a cache. PS - It was a bit tricky to find an empty spot on the log sheet to sign.

Not today!! We were on a driving tour today and on the map this walk looked very enticing but the tide was in! Needless to say we didn’t venture out here today, maybe next time!

Great walking track by the lake and easy find TFTC

It was in long grass and so many snakes we could not find it

It was not a good cashe

A great walk pram friendly

Lovely little walk. Thank you for cache.

Good hide, well made too.

This was our first find!! Great hiding spot

Found this one today on a night hike. We could hear all the fish jumping in the nearby lake, it was great!!

After 2 days bike riding it was lovely to be out walking. Stunning walk along the wetlands. Thanks for bringing me here.

Wicked spot. I had no idea this was here. As usual was stumbling around clueless, read the clue, straight to it. Tftc.

Nice quick find

After cooking up some snags and onions in bread near the jetty l then made the enjoyable walk to GZ found quickly signed and replaced...TFTC

Out for a drive on a long weekend seeing we can finally stay away overnight. Saw this walk on an information board so off we went. The undergrowth in the teatree forest has been heavily grazed by sambar deer. The area around GZ was very nice. TFTC

Not visited since January.

Lise from cached up mummas out on a family adventure.
Staying at nearby mingling waters caravan n camping place... buy a burger at the cafe cause they r really yum!!!

Decided to head out on a walk to tire the geo kiddies....
Got to the point of 'why are we walking with 3 yr and 5 yr olds'... about to turn back and snuck a peek at the geo app.... 30 metres away but no pen...
Noooooo!!!!
Decided to take a look anyways....
A pencil.... the cache has a pencil!!!
Woo hoo

Thanx for the hide AND the pencil

Live in the area but have not been here in ages TFTC

??????

This one was easy to find . Nice spot for a picnic

????????????????

Found with gwd.aussie.

We headed out to Nowa Nowa to grab this cache for International Geocaching Day. Being a bit overcast it was not the best day for a Picnic but there were a few out and about either walking or fishing along the trail and one very curious dog. After a short search the cache was in hand.

Thanks jezhug

A good way to filling the afternoon,
A nice drive.
A good walk, not to hilly.
No rain, or cold wind today.

Amazing the amount traffic walking by this area, Had to wait a couple of times.
For other walkers to past by, and one dog without a owner.

Thank you for the hide jezhug

Easy find TFTC

Found & logged while on the road, while doing the mystery in the museum.
Thanks jezhug

Nice walk we have never done.
Mozzie at bay made the trip very pleasant
