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.

Back again today to try to redeem a previous dnf. I now had notes as to where we should be looking. However, despite a thorough search, no luck here again today.

Stopped her to help OzHockeyChick redeem a DNF and instead only ended up adding one to my own list.

It was a lovely day to be out caching today, with RedcbBluebm. With Pilot the K9 sleuth, we enjoyed a gentle walk to GZ, but there the enjoyment came to an end. After a thorough search, we had to admit defeat.
I've added it to my watch list, and will await developments with interest.
Thanks anyway, wesfab.

Tracker was going crazy. Cache no where to be seen. Good luck future explorers!

Good find. Smaller than I first thought. Fun with the wife and kids

Nice hide! Took a little bit. We found a frog during our cache hunt

No luck on finding this one even after reading the comments. With the mozzies & the blackberry's competing for blood weve left this one for another day.

So hard to find! Now that we see it, it stands out!! Tftc!!

Not a good start to the day. I even resorted to a FAF. Then to add insult to injury, I slipped and fell. Time to give up.

Thanks for the find, always thought it must have been in the heavier terrain but thrilled to finally have found it

Found it

We came up to Healesville to do maintenance on our cache there and decided to drive back to Melbourne via Woori Yallock for a change. We tested the temperature and were happy in the shade so off we set along the mostly shady track. Arriving at GZ we had a look around and GMelb tried an ascent that was definitely more than a 1.5 … needless to say it wasn’t there lol. Reading back through logs we reassessed the ascent and soon had the cache in hand.

I've been meaning to search for this one for a while, and today, with my car at the mechanic nearby, I had the chance to stop by in the loan car.
After the rain overnight, every tree branch along this scenic riverside path dropped a shower of water droplets as I passed under. My GPS settled surprisingly well given it's regular conniptions. A short but essentially unnecessary scramble gave me a good view of the container in an unusually brief period (I tend to make hard work of these type of hides ). With the camo paint starting to part company with the container, the color is showing through somewhat but the placement means it's not too obvious still.
The log is nice and dry in this neatly placed hide.

Eagle eyes BlueBM pounced on this one quick smart! TFTC

Nice mini cache I didn’t have a pen so my name isn’t in the book

Thank you

Sorry, we didn’t have a pen on us to sign the log.

i was with evgenii_JT it was good thanks

Found it very toxic spot but it is was so funny to find good luck all...

A nice stroll in. Geodaughter wanted to be the one to find this cache however Geoson quickly spotted the prize. TFTC

A quick find on a picturesque river bend with the river in full flow after recent and ongoing rain. Thanks.

Great hide!! I found it.

Nice quick find on way home.

Heymissjo had found this cache recently, so she waited with Artax while I headed down the track towards GZ with the Geo-Pup.

It wasn't long before I found myself at a rather gorgeous bend in the river. Plenty of water babbling over the rapids today.

I couldn't find anything 'cachey' with an initial perusal on the scene so I took to a 3D search to find the treasure. It was rather awkward with the Geo-Pup in one hand! And despite it being essentially unnecessary, it did prove effective - except I now couldn't reach the prize and had to carefully retrace my steps while clutching a furball in one arm.

Thanks, wesfab

GPS wouldn't settle for leading to about a 15 minute search before using the clue and cache was in hand. There has been some recent work in this reserve clearing paths to make it more accessible.

Found on a drive fro Doon Reserve. Tctc

Oh to be free…. And at least for a little while, no time restrictions or expectations. Just me and caching. It’s been too long. After an agitating morning, my schedule was cleared and some much needed me time was pencilled in. I really don’t get to do this enough…

On pulling up at the designated parking spot, I was a little out off by the rubbish scattered by…But it wasn’t long before I was distracted by the babbling creek and the sound of the frogs. The sunshine is gorgeous today and thankfully not too hot… I always seem to miss the nice days being stuck inside working. But not today.

As I soaked in the sunshine and the views, I mistakenly walked straight into not one but two cobwebs across the path… blah! A face full of web is not fun! Thankfully it’s owner wasn’t home at the time or I might have just screamed!

On arrival of gz, I was given a few different options… some that really didn’t excite me much. But on a quick scan of the logs, I saw that I was over thinking it and a quick find was made. Thanks for the cache and awesome views. It was worth the walk.

Thanks for the Cache Wesfab, Just what I needed a Cache with a view! After a non find a little down stream and another non find in Healsville, I needed this find to get back my Mojo. Not that it was an Easy find (for me anyhow!). The Cache is dry and in good condition (but you know that you were here on Friday.)
Regards from Victourer

Checked on this one today, great day for a walk, great spot for a walk.

A fun find thanks!

I've wandered thru here many a time with geomutt, it was one of her favourite places. Sadly she no longer roams around but it seemed like time to get reacquainted with this beautiful spot I kept getting distracted from looking for the cache by the surging river - wow is there a lot of water churning past . Finally I managed to focus on the right spot to bag the prize

Very well hidden but we found it.

Found it TFTC

Beautiful spot to enjoy on my birthday weekend travels. The sun glinted and I spotted it. No need to climb the high side.

Little bit of search needed nice hide

Was a little further than had anticipated but a good hide nonetheless. TFTC

Good hide in a lovely spot.

Great find! It is a little tricky and I had focused on a particular area but once back tracking I spotted it right away

Very tricky but persevered and found it.

On our way back from picking up the Grandies. What better to fill in the time but some caching. The five year old enjoys it but the three year old isn't quite so keen.
Have looked for this before with no luck but didn't take us too long to locate it today. Kids very excited and want to look for more. Have to keep going whilst the going is good. Thanks for the cache.

Out with Omegaman1971 to do a few caches in the area, felt good to be caching in My old stomping ground. It was a warm day for it and we enjoyed the drive around in the Yarra Valley.

This was one of the caches we found today. one of My favorite areas due to some local legend stuff and a certain police car, I will say no more that was thirty five years ago. we had no trouble finding this one but we left in a hurry, not sure what was in the bucket near the car park but it was swarming in flies and stunk to high heaven. The river is very scenic here and worth the walk.

Thanks wesfab for the cache.

Out and about with Rebel Acts on a warm Saturday morning to put some smiles on the map locally. Nice walk.

Nice walk, cleverly hidden too !

Tftc!

Even after reading previous logs, despite a thorough search, no luck here today.

Loved this one! I walk here all the time and it was a nice surprise. Thank you!

Nice. This one took a while as it blends in better than you would think. Tftc

This week, I had planned an afternoon geocaching hunt, but with the weather, hadn't really decided a day. When 10 new geocaches got released, pretty quickly it was decided that today was the day. I left work at 3 pm, and taking the really long way home, made it home just in time for spaghetti bolognese at 7.30 pm.

I had never been here before, but having looked at the nearby Gladden Fields geocache, I had earmarked this parking location. This was a lovely walk along the noisy Yarra River. I couldn't see it, but certainly enjoyed its noise walking along the path in the dark.

Got to the GZ, and after searching each of the likely hiding places 3 times, I found the well hidden container just sitting there laughing at me. I will have to come back during day light to really enjoy this area.

Thanks for the cache and for tonight's adventure wesfab
