Unfortunately there has not been a response (or regular update) from the cache owner within the period requested and, as per the original advice, this cache is now being de-listed (Archived) as abandoned.

If there are components or remnants of the cache, please recover them as we don't want to litter our environment.

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 Identification Code.

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###

----------

Hi there bianchaaa39,

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 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 to this enquiry 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 are not mind readers (more's the pity), so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, you have been in hospital, the area is in flood, or some other reason that has prevented attending to the cache, they can't tell what is going on.
You need to post a note to the page (within 14 days) explaining the situation 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 **post a Write Note log 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, it's better for you to 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

Did not find it

Did not find it - log before wrongly

perhaps worth a check to see if still there
- considerable search and PAF - no luck the duck stays stuck

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Had a quick look with no luck today and the swam of mozzies made me abandon search faster than I would have liked will try again another day with some mozzie repellent

Had a quick look but GPS not reliable today.

searched for a while to no avail... might have been a bit disheartened by the previous DNFs

Even with a paf still unable to locate. Perhaps worth a check?

GPS spot on with this one. Located without to much searching.

Braving this blustery day out hunting caches with The 4WD Shed. A nice cold stroll to find this one. TFTC

Out and about exploring with Smithies Outback for the day, great spot for a walk along the cliff top tftc

I was here a few weeks back and stopped here for a quick cache find.
I do like this area, would be a lovely spot to live.

A quick find and cache is in good condition.

Thanks

### **CACHE OWNER PLEASE NOTE** ###

----------

Hi there bianchaaa39,

Just wondering if you have noticed the log by 'The Empire' which indicates this cache is OK and available to be found/signed again?

Please remember that cache maintenance arrangements need to be proactive, not reactive. This means **regular** visits (by the CO) to check on the cache and not relying on or expect passing seekers to fix issues or replace missing caches.

Even though things may seem OK, there is still a need to remove the "Needs Maintenance" attribute - see here: [**Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon.**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and then Enable the cache - see this link: [**Temporarily Disable and Enable**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235) .

**I've Enabled the cache and removed the NM attribute for you on this occasion.**

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

Found by The Empire + H
A lovely walk along the shore in the sunshine. Easy find here, the cache is all good. New container, and log book to sign. A note to the cache owner; just log a 'cache maintenance' log to clear the attribute or the reviewer will archive (delete) this cache. I dropped a limited edition pathtag in one of these caches this afternoon! But probably not the micros! Thanks for the cache bianchaaa39.

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###

----------

Hi there bianchaaa39,

One or more logs indicate that this cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, so it is being temporarily disabled. This is to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache are investigated/addressed.

Whilst it is recognized that as a result of the current Covid-19 situation, it might not be possible for a Cache Owner to just pop out and check on a cache straight away, we still need to know that you are on top of the issue. 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.

**You do need to respond within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this cache. Please don't let a lack of communication kill this placement.**

#What you should do now:-#
- Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so.

- **Alternatively,** what you need to do is place a 'Write Note' log indicating an expected date when you you hope you might be able to attend to the issue/s.
**The Write Note log should be placed within 14 days.**

#Please Note#
When a Reviewer next looks in on this cache, if there is no acknowledgment from the CO as requested above, the Reviewer will assume the cache has been abandoned and process accordingly.

Tftc.....doggo and I enjoying a good day pit

Suscoe was heading homeward this morning. We had a few hours up our sleeves to fill in with some cache searching and finding.
The weather was cool with a good bit of sun and some showers coming straight in from the south but thankfully they were scattered.
We enjoyed this morning full of caches and the countryside from San Remo to Corinella.

Thanks to bianchaaa39 for this hide.
A creature has been munching on the container and is almost finished one side and turning the corner to eat some more. We don't think it could be that tasty..
The cache is not water tight anymore (log is damp) and needs replacing.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

No. 5 for the day

Doesn't relate to taphophobia. Easy find TFTC

I looked up what Taphophobia means and couldn’t see what it has to do with the cache, but it’s a great word. At least the cache wasn’t buried alive. I fact I found it lying on top of the ground in full sight of anyone silly enough to venture this far off the track. After a bit of a fruitless search a couple of metres away I checked the finding device again and went a bit closer. A piece of found tool on the ground brought it within reach. The log felt as if it had been wet, but dried out and it and the other contents were clean and in good condition. It was a great cache to reintroduce myself back to geocaching after lockdown and rejoice in living in a regional area of Victoria.

TFTC great spot but the container needs maintenance

Found it

Trickery find

#8 for today.

A most beautiful day to tackle this line of caches, on what has to be one of the best kept secret coastlines in Victoria. It was amazingly calm, scenic and the sunset by the end of the day was just magic. Glad we stuck around for as long as we could today.

Thanks for bringing us out here tassieexpat

tftc great location. thanks

Tftc

Nice find on a very wet, cold and windy morning

Found it TFTC

After working out which side coordinates meant, we found it! Cool wombat burrow near by! Unfortunately cache needs maintenance, plastic box chewed and water damage. Couldn't sign.

We were not so quick, but got there in the end.

I’m still trying to get my geo mojo back after not being out much for a year and I missed a few and found a few today. Happy to say I had no problem finding this one. TFTC

This one ended up taking gunslinger then expected we gave up in the end and continued the trail stopping on the way back and just going to get sense which landed the cache in our hands. Signed and replaced back tftc

Went the long way while my dad went around and found it while I was trying to get through a spider web!!!

#4463 Finally Mr BGF gets his paws on the cache first after wondering where his geosenses had gone. The cache was very well concealed too! Had to google the cache name adding to the humour of the moment. A great spot to seek some shade, not that it was too warm today. TFTC bianchaaaa39.

Corinella to Coronet Bay, a coastal smiley cache string on our map. Today we had the opportunity to thread a few more beads!!
No phobias today.

Thanks bianchaaa39 for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Nice and easy find. Left a few trinkets as it was empty. TFTC

TFTC, great day for this walk with beautiful views.

Thanks bianchaaaa39. 1st for the day. Found with Jimmytherat. Nice quick find on a lovely trail.

TFTC bianchaaa39. Nicely placed. Jimmytherat with Noelle04

Find 2505
This one was found quite quickly once the GPS had settled. Log signed and all back safe again.

*Found on the 1 Jan 2021 @ 1:07 pm.*
*Cache find # 11236.*

There were obvious signs that someone was here before me but I kept moving along until I spotted that familiar blue colour and I was soon signing the log.
Today I headed down to the Bass Coast to attend a celebrations event at Bass but before making my way there, I decided to have a look at this trail between Coronet Bay and Corinella.
My choice of transport was my bike and it was certainly a good choice.

**Thanks to bianchaaa39 for placing this cache.**

Found your cache bianchaaa39, thank you so much for placing it.

You can make this harder than it is for your self by looking in all the wrong spots first, it really is an easy find. Thanks for the cache.

In the area for a caching event and to catch up with my geo buddy Rebel Acts.
Perfect weather on the 1st day of 2021, really enjoyed this series and the walk along a very picturesque bath.
Cheers for the cache

Nice and peaceful here today nobody's around found quickly signed and replaced...TFTC

Got the right spot though had to read activity to have a clear view

Found at 12:07 PM in the company of xambo4u - GAFF5.
Had the wrong idea of what a Taphophobia is and spent way too much time searching for the wrong type of hide.
However what made it even more difficult for us was that the description said "This cache is nothing to (sic) hard" and that always puts a mozz on us and we spend way more time than the D rating suggests.
Thanks bianchaaa39.

Out about about with pprass while enjoying a day down at Cape Patterson. Its great to discover these walking paths that we never knew about. This one had us going for a while. Ended up googling to find out what the name meant. This still led to plenty of options. Widening our search as you need to do when under cover we finally made the discovery. It was different to what I thought it would be. Thanks for bringing us here bianchaaa39

A quickish find. Gps went this way and that way. I love this track. TFTC

Found with tassie expat after a hands n knees search. Thanks for placing it. It was a perfect short walk after scoffing down a Greek Eurobites souva.

FTF gone at 4pm - LTF

First cache of the afternoon and couldn't believe that I could park so close. Then enjoyed looking at the old iron wrought gate. After that it was time to stroll towards the GZ. Took a guess about where it would be but strolled an extra 8 meters before I looked at the GPS. Then turned around and guessed exactly where it was. Turned out I had chosen the wrong side of the fence but right hiding place. Luckily I could reach it from where I was. Then it was a quick sign, photo op and back on the main path. Back on the main path, and must be peak hour now.

Thanks for the cache bianchaaa 39
