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

Hi there Cache Owner,

It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is an issue with the placement. The cache is being temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed.

Whilst it is recognized that as a result of the current COVID19 situation, it might not be possible for a Cache Owner to just pop out and check on a cache, we still need to know that you are on top of the issue.

CO's of caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis will be given some extra time to react. 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:-#
- Should the regional Health and Victorian Government requirements allow it **AND** you feel it safe for you to maintain this cache now, please feel free to do so. Don't forget to log an 'Owner Maintenance ' log and also Enable the cache once the issue is fixed.

- **Alternatively,** what you need to do is place a Write Note log indicating a date when you you expect you might be able to attend to the issue/s.

#Please Note#
When the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment from the CO as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned and processed accordingly.

**JUST A HINT:-** In case you are not aware, there is a new 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 you cooperation,

Bunjil

Whilst on the hill thought I'd check this one out. And found it. Still needs a new box

29/6 found it. Box still damaged

Very wet, needs new container and log, still managed to sign it, tftc.

Quick cache with an awesome view
Needs new box

Car in getting a service so what better way to spend the time than a bush walk and a few caches. TFTC smegheads. Cache lid is broken and cache and log is wet. To wet to sign.

Container lid broken. Cache and log wet.

This is an old cache and I am not certain if the COs are still active. If not I am happy to wander up and replace this container.
Can the COs confirm this is OK (or transfer to me) and if no response can Reviewer let me know the best way to proceed.
Thanks

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Easy find but oh so many people out and about on Nail Can Hill on Easter Sunday!
COVD restrictions mean so many people enjoying our beautiful local bush.
TFTC

Good hike up the mountain. Easy enough to find

Found, think this one might need some maintenance as the lid to this container is broken

While jcody checked out the monument and the gardens, I took a hike to some of the nearby caches.

Found it. Container is worse for wear, had a hole in the lid and clips broken.

Found thanks

Easy grab off the track. TFTC

Tftc, nice winter day. Lid broken

For those Cache Owners unaware, Catnap777 & OZREG have formed a team under Geocache Guideline:
1.17. Merge accounts.
This allows logging of old finds under the new account with Username of TeamOZCAT.
Please contact if you have any queries.
"The truth is out there, and so are many more caches"
Cheers from Karen and Reg.

Last on the list for today. Right at the pinnacle of the climb.

Beautifull scenery from the top of nail can hill today while on the trail searching for caches. Took a few photos. Found with catnap777

The Box has a hole. Tftc and many greetings from Germany

Out with HappyFeet1. As per her log below.

A windy day for a walk!

Out with OZREG, making the most of a spring day, and trying to grab a few of these hill climbing caches, before it gets too hot. We had no DNF's and enjoyed our afternoon together with a few laughs and found some great hides. Not having been out this way before, now I realise the difficulty of the Nail Can Hill run. We climbed up the hill from the north side and enjoyed the views of the area below and around. The climb down the hill, at times, was just as trecherous, as we slipped a few times on the rocky road.

It was a quick discovery, once at GZ.

I am currently writing detailed logs because of a challenge provided by Project-GC. "The Author" Badge challenges geocachers to average one hundred words or more in each log. As of the start of 2018 my average was only 47 words per log, which seems a long way from the 100 target. Given that I have found so many GC caches, I have to write many logs with well over 100 words for a long period of time to get my average to the target. Apologies to anyone who finds the logs tedious but it is the only way that I can strive to attain this challenge. After over 7000 plus caches (which includes all cache finds up and including yesterday), the average log length is just over 50 words. I am now entertaining the possibility that I might be able to achieve my task before the end of next year. It's surprising how much is has increase since doing this.

Thanks Smegheads for placing the cache for us to find and doing the maintenance to keep it in play.

The first time geocaching for while, the geo-dog and I headed up Nail Can Hill - the new local haunt. One of a few we planned to hit up on a delightful early spring day. A few muggles about, and also had to deal with a bit of drift here as well. Thanks for the hide!

Good hide. Another Shawshank

Nice easy find.

Thanks- so peaceful here today.

Are we there yet? Yes we are! Finally on top... And with yet another find in my pocket...

Tftc

Found while bushwalking

Quick find container may need some maintenance soon though

Excellent walk steep climb thank you for the cache.

And another quick find after a little picknick in the sun. TFTC

Find #: 1,563
Companions: None
Muggles: None
Weather: Cool winter afternoon
Cache condition: Container broken, but contents ok

After dropping my son off at Border Music Camp I had a bit of time before I needed to head to the airport and back to Sydney, so decided to search for some of the caches on Nail Can Hill. After finding Kurrajong Quarry I continued upwards. I overshot the mark and needed to backtrack, but when I got to GZ it didn't take too long to get CIH. TNLNSL, TFTC

Nice dragon

Found this in company with The Wookie and Electron Girl. TFTC

#3159 10 of 10 today.

Day 3 of the HCRT trip to Albury Wodonga.

Only 1/2 a day for geocaching today before heading back to Canberra and I was riding solo this time. It was foggy this morning so I thought: why not rise above it ? So after breaky I headed out to the west Wodonga hills where there is a busy MTB community. Clearly there had been some event on over the weekend as there were lots of signs and bunting, but the trails were clear and quiet today. Lots of climbing and the odd find later, I was ready to take a break. Next I headed over to Nail Can Hill above Albury. You can't come to Albury and not visit the hill. Found a small series of 5 up there. All in all a lovely morning for some sometimes strenuous climbing, but the cool conditions made it a delight.

An easy find.

TFTC Smegheads.

Container has broken lid and needs replacing. TFTC.

This site is near one of the butterfly hilltops near to albury town. Late in the season so only yellow admiral about today, but a regular haunt for dainty Swallowtail, broad-margined and southern purple azures, marbles Xenica and tailed emperor. A good site standing the rest of time

Another hill, another cache.. found by Mr S... log signed . Tftc..

Lovely walk

Easy find good hife

Good easy find

First for 2017!

A very nice spot for a little cache hunt with my muggle mother-in-law. Lucky I had a native with me to hush away all the spiders. My first find in Aus and with a TB too! Lid is busted but otherwise all good. Thank you for the cache and greetings from Finland!

#2052 Not the first time today we have climbed a hill. Starting to feel it by the time we got to gz. Any pain was offset by the wonderful weather, which was pleasant change from the rain and cold weather. A quick find here which was pleasing as we needed an old cache to drop off a TB we collected from down south. Thanks Smegheads, some wonderful views along this trail.

Great little cache! Loved finding it! Plenty of treasure!

Ha! Got it after a bit of searching.

Tftc with my mum and son and 2 geo hounds. Great walk

Good cache

A beautiful evening for a walk with the sun orange on the hills. An easy find once I came from the right direction! Thanks.

found! couldn't see the tower with a red light from where I was standing, although I did see a cache guard - not for those with arachnophobia.

Boogoose on fire. Second cache today for team poozelbear. Did a cheeky swap. Tftc.

Another cache on the walk from Range Rd. Heading towards Pemberton Street. TFTC Smegheads

Quick find on our journey through the hill with NacSpaceman. Thanks, Smegheads.

Sorry for my delayed and boring log but I REALLY need to catch up on old finds.
No#6 for the day.
Found on my roadtrip to Mega.
Appreciate you bringing me here and breaking up the drive.
Cheers & T.F.T.C!
Safe travels and hoppy caching =]

The sun was high and the hike goes uphill, but I liked it to find the cache. After a few mintes searching the box was found and we could sign the logbook.

Thank You for this cache and for keeping him going.

Greetings to the owner

For our Australian Tour we selected to search this Cache.
We had a find at a nice Location and thanks to the owner for placing and maintaining this by

Found bit more than we bargained for with the 'keeper of the cache!' huntsman but he was harmless enough, probably wanted to sign the log himself. Found with lillieb05. Nice cache!

You didn't mention the giant huntsman guarding this cache. If I knew geocaching needed to have a guard spider I might not have taken this up. Found with beastmode26

Night climb at midnight with ted and sally11

Nice and easy find, even at night! Look for the rock pile

Found with happy_chappie and geohound

#1279 - not far for the trusty hybrid steed to wait. Great views along this ridge when your not running the Nail Can Hill run. Nice weather and nice ride from Range Road then down the Gap Road trail. tftc

Not as nearby as I thought

Gotcha, great walk

Nice quick find. Beautiful autumn day to pick up some caches without a snake in sight. TFTC!

Nice spot on the way back down from the Ridge Track. Log book a little damp, but hidden ok. TFTC Smegheads
