Hi there The Lantrys,

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 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 to check, repair, 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 don't have a crystal ball, so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, or you have been in hospital, or the area is in flood, 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 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 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.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Bunjil

We sadly have to add to the DNFs today. We had a quick look for this cache two days ago, while on our way to Portland. Today on our way back we spent quite a bit of time checking out all possible locations from GZ (where there is nowhere really to hide anything) to quite a wide search area beyond. We had noted previous logs about being 35 metres away and checked out some other coordinate suggestions, but still no luck. This is a lovely park and location to bring us to, so we hope the cache owner will check it out, advise if cache is either confirmed or replaced, and adjust coordinates accordingly. Thanks.

Looked around and widened my search but came up empty handed

The marker was changing and didn’t make sense

Thought because it a big would be easier to find but think someone could have taken it

Didn’t find it! spent about 20 minutes looking in ‘the garden’ but came up empty handed. Maybe next time. Anyway thanks for placing the cache. I’ve visited this lake many time when visiting my grandparents who lived across the road for many years. Looking forward to visiting again.

Being a large I thought this would stick out, but no luck.

Super kid friendly

We found it

This was only found with the help of previous finders' logs that noted it was 30plus metres out. Thanks for the cache.

A long awaited road trip, originally planned for the Millicent Mega weekend. However due to possible SA border issues, we’re only doing the Vic sections. Joined by Papi4506 & Geoturtle37, RoamingHowie and I are finally on the road to adventure!
Day 6: Hamilton to Home.
Used our geosenses and previous logs to locate this cache - 36m from posted coordinates.
Thanks for bringing us here today by placing this cache, opted-out user

Day #6 and the final day of the adventure in Western Victoria. All packed up and set for a gradual return home caching along the way. From Hamilton to Melbourne via Dunkeld and some other locations yet to be determined.

This one is 35m East of the posted coordinates, way off! It is where geosenses would expect it to be however.

Thanks opted-out user for placing this gamepiece in the wild for us to find.

A nice easy find.

Southern Stay Disability Services after school care participants found all the little goodies everyone has left, thank you for letting us find it

Very tricky find, had to use Hint because my coordinates were out by 33 meters ! Thanx for a great day FlirtinWithDanger and muggle kid

SL at 11:10am. Daytrip out with DarthVader69 and MuggleMasterKid7. Took a while as coords were way off as has already been mentioned, needed the hint. Nice overcast day for caching. Lovely historical plaque about Gallipoli. TFTC!
*Provided a ziplock bag for the logbook to keep it protected.

Thanks lots of fun

Yep, Co-ordinates a bit off but we found it. Beautiful day by the lake.

Coordinates where wrong but found in the correct location

Searched in the wrong area until we read past logs. Opted out user needs to recalculate the coordinates.
Thanks opted-out user for the placement.

Found this one

Lovely walk on a warm winters day!

Nice stroll around the lake. Nice find. 1st one in 9 years....im back

Our son loved looking for this

Found on a nice walk around the lake. Slightly off from the location on map.

Found my first geocache

Wasnt anywhere near where the phone vibrated

Smells nice.

Found it!

Lovely cache

Out and about for a drive around Hamilton with Miss Jane.
Finding some caches along the way.

After reading a few previous logs, went and searched a few meters away from the given coordinates and found the cache at,

S 37 43.832 E 143 02.782

TFTC

Sneaky hide, wasn’t at proper location.

Found it in the dark.
That’s right, in the dark.
The cache is NOT at the given coordinates.
We read a few logs, went 32 meters from the given coordinates and walked the perimeter of the circle.
Found “in the garden” at
S 37 43.832 E 143 02.760

Thanks for the adventure.

??????????

Our 1st find was fun

Easy find as per the hint. Tftc

Nice spot. Lest we forget. 9/3/21

Tftc lest we forget

Found.

Marshall’s Geelong found this cache today,
After reading the logs and looking somewhere else I was able to find the cache easy. No muggles about. Cache in good order.
TFTC

Quick find but the co-ords are still 30m out and need updating

TFTC

Found with mclookers this morning on the way home from Portland.
Obvious spot but about 30m out as mentioned. Really should be updated to avoid dnfs.

Found this morning with Feathertop. We too were searching at the posted co-ords only to find the cache 30m away, much closer to the monument.

Quick easy find. TFTC

Found

Co-ordinates Updated

Found at 12:14 PM GAFF3 at a massive distance of 32 metres.
We stopped near here to have lunch and sauntered over to GZ for a quick find, but after going around in circles for a few minutes with nothing to show we thought that it was gone. To begin with the GPSr was showing GZ in no mans land on the lawn!
We then learned from previous logs that the co-ords for this cache have been messed up and that the CO has not bothered to correct them - you can be an opted out user, but you still need to do maintenance on your caches
So we headed over to where we thought the cache was hidden and there it was sitting out in the open. How it didn't get muggled is a mystery?
Thanks opted-out user.
Feedback: Corrected co-ords supplied to update the cache page and also you need to update the cache size - it is a "Regular" and not a "Small"

An easy find once I accounted for the error as mentioned in earlier logs. TNLNSL. Cache is in good condition. TFTC!

A 5 day caching run, over the 2020/2021 New year period saw me leave on the Thursday the 31st of December and travel to the Brisbane Ranges, down to Warrnambool, Port Fairy, Portland, the up to Heywood, Dunkfield and Horsham, camping along the way. On the Saturday I met up with my caching partner, ilukaperi at the home of choocknchunk, where we spread the coronavirus around as much as we could. Enjoyed some 4wding around the Mt Cole area before making our way back home on the Monday.

Today I started the morning at Annya Camp and headed towards Dunkfield, then up to Horsham and finally over to Raglan to visit my friends chhocknchunk, and to catch up with my caching partner, ilukaperi, as well as Micaparamedic, Geoturtle37 and Papi4506. Found some lovely spots and some great caches along the way and it was nice to finish the day with a beer and some good friends.

Co ordinates are about 25 meters out, as others have said.

I hunted for a short time at the posted Comoros before looking over and spotting the container out in the open, 25 meters away and with two muggles about 3 m from the cache. I waited them out, signed the log and hid the cache a little more into the Rosemary. TFTC.

Very easy find, plenty of room for more swaps tftc

Coords 29m out. Gallipoli rocks! Lovely cycle track

Found your cache opted-out user, thank you so much for placing it.

Quick and easy find with tassie expat. It was uncovered but you still had to search for it so I left it as I found it and reckon it's safe. Thanks for placing it. Terrible weather but a nice spot.

Found fairly quickly once search was widened. Then the heavens opened! Thankfully the car was only on the side of the road near gz and not in the car park. Our only one found in this town as we needed to head back to Port Fairy and dry off. TFTC

Great little cache - future geocachers should bring some more trinkets to chuck in. Easy to find, large container, central location, logical find.

We love Being bought to places that remind us about the wonderful people who have guarantee us the great life style that we have. SL TFTC

Coordinate are a bit of but the names a good hint and first ever cache

This cache appears to be in need of owner attention.

As a Traditional type cache, the container should be located at the listed co'ords. We found the GZ today was some 29m away from where the cache is located. We note other logs also remarking about the accuracy of the co-ordinates.

Time to head home after four days of fun, out and about circumnavigating "The Grampians" in the company of our caching friends Suscoe.
November 11th, appropriate to seek out this cache.

Satellites today had our GZ 29m west of where we found the cache.

**FEEDBACK TO CO:** No sign of any Cache ID or of trackables mentioned in the cache notes.

Our thanks to 'opted-out user' for adding this cache to the geo-gameboard.

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

This was Suscoe's last day of our trip and we awoke to thunder, lightning and rain, gentle at first but as the day progressed we saw heavy rain, impressive lightning bolts and loud thunderclaps.
With all this atmospheric disturbance taking place, we were still able to finds a good range of caches as we travelled from Hamilton to Home via a good bit of Zig Zag travel.
All up we covered around 445 KMS today.
It was a delightful way to spend our last day of this trip.

The countryside of the Western District is stunning at this time of the year with significant grass in the paddocks and happy looking sheep and cattle.

Thanks to The Lantrys for this cache, we were pleased that we could stop here on Remembrance Day. A little early but it was still great to do.

First Geocache ever... success!!

Lovely rosemary

Quick find the coordinates are a bit off though

Found it not near the coordinates but in logical spot!

Found it

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:-#

The last Day in Millicent to clean up a few caches before Easter with BettyBoo3747.

A lovely spot by the lake, we stopped here for lunch.
Thanks, Robmc.
