Hi there Team '80',
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 has been 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.
**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 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 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 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 your cooperation,

Cheers for the cache and for the awesome view of the dam so full

Broken lid and contents swimming. Poured water out best we could but in desperate need of maintenance
In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location.
(Ha Ha). In your dreams, these cachers do.
[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Brilliant and Clever

Found with my geopooch and Craftydusty. Lid completely broken, log waterlogged so unable to sign. As I’ve just noted from previous log, needs urgent maintenance. Nice place though! Pic enclosed of us very near cache site. TFTC!
THANKS for the find needs urgent maintenance full of water very great spot though
Caching in the company of GrumpyBump, on our slow, meandering way to the Mega event in Millicent, S.A.
$12 to get past the boom gate..... No thanks.
Maybe another time.......................

Found after a trek on the gravel road and lots of roos. First time visiting this side of Burrendong, would be good to see it full! Thank you for the cache! : )
Nice one! We were here fishing in the Burrendong Easter Classic and killing time with some Cache finds. Highly recommend bringing the family down to this stunning, well maintained camping location.
A bit tricky round & round the dirt road then a Kangaroo jumper in front of me on top of a rocky climb Cheers
Came out to Burrendong for a sail and ended up grabbing a cache. Park I try was $12 today. TFTC.
Staying in a cabin. Beautiful area. Great spot for a geocache. Thanks so much for the hide.
Nice quick & easy find after taking a drive out here from a nearby Christian Camp. Saw this after finding the one near the Dam Wall. Beautiful spot! TFTC
Staying in a cabin so took an afternoon drive past loads of kangaroos to gz. Found after a second look at co ords as geo kid had entered them wrong but once correct was an easy find. Took trackable.
Yeah great find to finish our trip here in a beautiful spot found it Gj.mackay Jenny and kurt
Pleasant walk to Eagle Beagle from caravan park! Accurate location! Our first cache! Thank you
Out with my Aunty and Mum we had crossed the dam via kayaks and found the lion and the gates now for the Beagle Eagle.
we got this one. its in great condition I wonder why no one looks for it. started to get cold and I need to eat.

went down the wrong track to start with and yes I did realise there was a sign pointing the right way - I was following the gps (badly as it turned out), oh well did the usual U-turn and headed off in the right way.
drove to GZ with no more dramas, I did the mountain climbing thing up the bank while rainforest cookie did the smarter thing and looked for the cache trail.
All good, cache soon in hand, did some swaps, signed the log for all and off we went for a well deserved coffee.
wonder why this has been so long between logs, as with all of the caches out at the dam; well worth coming out for.

Coords jumped around a little, but up we went to grab the cache and a couple of embedded prickly pears (note to self: don't wear sandals when GCing... ) TFTC
This one wasn't a quick find due to bouncing coords, but we got it in the end. TFTC
Nice easy find while visiting the dam with friends. Retrieved TB & left pig TB.
Out for an early morning bike ride and found the Beagle Eagle, great area for a ride. TFTC
Found today while coming out to check the dam its still very full ,left helicopter TB good hide
Had an hr's brake while helping cater at a near by campsite. First time to pay to find a cache, and would have liked more time to enjoy the area, will definitely be back. TFTC
This place is amazing. Can't believe the amount of recreational facilities, picnic spots, bbqs etc. around here with hardly any people. Dam is very low but definitely still worth visiting. $8 was a bit rich for a quick visit as we had to be back in Wellington by 1230.
A quick/mad dash through the gates after the people who take your money had gone home. Luckily the gates were still open on the way out.
A nice quick find.
A nice quick find.
EASY FIND IN A LOVELY AREA. IT WAS VERY DRY AND WE PICKED UP A FEW CACTUS THORNS SO BE CAREFUL AS THEY HURT. TFTC

A nice easy find for the first of the weekend. Have never been to this part of the dam before.
The fee is now $8 but the nice lady let me have a look around the park at no charge.
Dam is currently at 17%.

18% capacity. There are trees growing & cattle grazing in locations that may one day be under water again. The water doesn't even reach the dam wall. I was the one & only dope camping at BeagleEagle - dope because it was very, very cold over night. Had the facilities to myself. Left a dinosaur & recovered with the rock's weathered side facing skywards. Thanks.
Thanks for the cache location tnln, nice spot, heaps of people around being Aust Day weekend plus a bit more water at 20% capacity

Well done team80, See you all soon.
Thought a nice day at the dam was in order so we all headed down to find this cache and another. Thanks Team 80. Mrs Mix thinks the terrain on this one is too low and Mini-Mix agreed so I logged in on behalf of the team. Took a Mini light thing and left its weight in gold.
