### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###
----------
G'day there _wildhearts_,
It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is an issue.
The cache has been temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s can be addressed.
**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 and repair and/or 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 (unfortunately), 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.
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 those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when a Reviewer next looks at the cache page, it is likely that they will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) on the basis that it has been abandoned.
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.
**JUST A TIP:-** Have you checked out the 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).
Thanks for your cooperation,

Says 20m from where I'm standing... Don't think thats a good idea to enter hmmm
Clever hiding spot. Took a little while but the clues and the photos helped. Well done.
Great little spot, be wary of the new spider friend who has taken up residency behind the capsule.
Thanks to _wildhearts_ for this hide.
There was a bit of water rushing through the side channel here today.
A short search and the cache was found, the container doesn't have a lid anymore, might need some TLC.
Glad there was a write in the wet logsheet.

TFTC. This is a favourate for me. The walk was a bite of a hard one but the smart cache made up for it.
Thought it be harder to find amongst the surroundings but found it quite quickly. Thanks for the cache.
My first geocaching journey. It was well hidden, but I unfortunately didn’t have a pen on me.

A nicely done micro in a field of rocks. I like the style of this hide.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for this geocache here today.

Looked at the clue and other photos and unfortunately didn’t find the cache. Lots of people around and kids hunting in the rocks so was probably taken ️
Came to check yesterday and it looks like someone has taken it.. will do my best to replace it asap
Thanks for bringing me here this morning. As others have said, the coordinates are spot on. I don't like micro containers, but I wish that all micro containers could be of this quality!
Cool location. We have walked past this spot quite a few times without realising a cache was here. Thanks!
6 June 2021, forgot the puppys lead so was hoping it would be a quick one. Probably lucky as she would have wanted to go for a swim... and it's a long walk home ha ha. Bit of bouncing but nice hide..thank you. Hope the place doesn't flood.. there's a lot of stone placed here!
Last cache on the way home, this made the 3rd out of the 4 caches we did today (1 dnf ). Was not optimistic at all when I saw the amount of rocks but GPS was bang on the money. Tftc
#1827 Visiting Caroline Springs today to help out a friend. After our job was complete I headed off for a 2km stroll to find this. Arrived at GZ only to realise this find was definitely going to need GPS accuracy (and I only had my phone). Worked my way around what I believed to be GZ for several mins and it was not looking good. I made another approach and GZ was in the same spot. Continued working the area and then I spotted something. Could it be? Yes! I had the cache in hand and it was soon signed. The phone's GZ pick was spot on! TNLN. TFTC _wildhearts_ , from the clue I was expecting something slightly different but it turned out to be more sneaky than that!

Woohoo! {FTF} 19.03 21/2/21.
We saw this alert when we were driving home from Trentham.
It was still there when we tanked up in Gisborne... “what the hell” we said and continued down the Calder about 36 odd Kay’s out of our way!
We arrived at the lovely location here and Mrs Riddell, in hunter mode, spotted the hide straight away.
The fun started trying to get the water proof paper out of the container in anticipation.
Once retrieved we found a lovely blank sheet awaiting us.
TFTC and bringing us to places we would ordinarily never go to... especially a 72 km detour on the way home!!
Well and truely time to head home for dinner.. TFTC and a good chase.
