One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 28 days), just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.
I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

5 DNFs in a row. No action or comments from cache owner in last month despite Needs Maintenance log.

5 DNFs in a row. This cache needs to be checked and/or replaced or delisted by the owner

But a great spot all the same!

DNF 8/06/13 15:30 . After checking out the serenity of the lake I suggested to my muggle friends that we take a short walk for this cache (although the 3 previous DNFs did not exactly fill me with hope [B)])

Alas, like the prior searchers we came away empty handed

4 DNFs in a row. The cache is gone or disappeared and in need of owner action

DNF @ 16:00 with Muggle-L. We had a limited time frame in which to find, so after about 15 minutes with no luck, we abandoned the search.
Thanks anyway Dr Klig.

my first did not find.... out on a caching run with Sir J-Oz. Oh well next time.

Our Easter Sunday cache hunt had been going so well... only to be thwarted at Daylesford by this cache! There were just way too many muggles for us to do a hunt justice. We've never seen the lake so busy, even at Christmas! Had to content ourselves that a band of teen cachers (we think) were also looking as luckless, in amongst the constant groups of muggles making the round trip. Will have to stow this one for another day [B)] Luckily, we still had a happy day out at Daylesford!

Great spot for a cache TFTC

11:40 am

Took Canadian Toonie, Left Minnie Mouse 'Tenna Head & headphones.

Found this one in the school holidays. Had a bunch of ninjas, for a couple of them it was their first time and now they're addicted.
I was stumped, but my little one who has a knack for getting into tin places found it.
Took some clips left a surprise.!

Nice stroll...took a bit of thinking and looking...pretty obvious once found...!!!

My goodness. A 7 year only cache. Now that's getting rare. The co-ords were excellent at this cache location and after 7 years the cache still looks in excellent condition. A quick log and then back to the car in the beautiful weather this afternoon.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks Dr Klig for this cache here this afternoon.

# 285 - after a nice walk around the lake we came to this beautiful spot. While we were here a local was here and it's running more than she's ever seen it in 30 years, great! A nice quick hunt for the cache, signed the log and we were off again, TFTC Dr Klig

Went looking with my venturer group while hiking..

# 2744 @ 10:30 with Ali J and C@H

First find of the day with the band of short notice attendees of Ali J and C@H on the way to play in the mud in the Wombat Forest

Thanks Dr Klig

on short noticed a 4x4 trip was organized and I found myself in BigRed the Toyota landcruser (sorry I mean the Nissan Patrol) of 3up. That day had some fun 4WD and some caches thrown in for good fun with company from Tigersden, Smegheads, 3Up and my partner in causing trouble Ali J.

This cache was the first for the trip for us all and 3UP made the quick find while everyone else looked in the wrong places. TFTC

Hey, look, we just found your cache.

Our first find for the day with the group.

Thanks for bringing us here.

A first find for our little group of intrepid cachers on a 4WD & caching adventure. Good way to start what was a very fun (albeit slightly muddy ) day. TFTC

A short walk and a quick find. Loved the old structure, a great place for a hide. Thanks for the cache.

Found in fading light after a really pleasant walk. Little Miss Gourmet took small chicken, left coke key ring. TFTC.

Found with kinkell1 after a nice stroll.

Found while out on a wet caching day with highrod.
Nice but cold walk. TFTC

A quick find but beehive nearby.
TFTC SL

Found. A lovely spot to bring us to. Thank-you.

I originally posted a DNF back in January. Back then I approached GZ from down stream and found myself amounst a large swarm of bees. Quite a rush! This time, no bees and an easy find at this great location. Thanks

A quick easy find in a lovely location. TFTC

This was a very easy fine for Geo wife.

Took nothing left Geo coin.

Very good location, considering a holiday there.

Great spot. Went over this bridge two weeks ago before knowing about GC. Drive to Mt Franlin next.

Bugger! Had more succes slater in the day when using i phone compass. Couldnt find this one but thanks for bringing us to this lovely little place.

wonderful walk with lovely views. Thanks 4 the cache.

Lovely place for cache loved the bridge. Thanks for bringing us here. Found with jk gamblers.

On a family outing up to Spa country, this was our 7th of about 20 in 3 fun filled days. nice drive by, thanks for the stop. this is very close to a great caravan park, we called this home for 2 nights and loved it, they even deliver papers to cabin residents. Now that is serious caravan etiquette. highly recommended.

Found him with 6 hinemoa2 whilst on a days hike.A nice little lake, thank you Dr Klig

Stopped for morning tea at this lovely picnic ground while out walking with the Ballarat Bushwalking club. Decided that I would check this out before we moved on. Signed the log and caught up with our group who were about to head off.

13:44
After lunch nearby we wandered down to this cache, only to find we could have driven and had lunch nearby the cache. Blackberries near by looked inviting. What a pity the railway was removed - they could be pulling in the $$$'s now. When we got to the cache we found it very exposed, so we did some remedial work.

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt Dr Klig.

Nice Australia day find TFTC tnln

Bees lots of bees! I found myself walking amount bee hives and the bees seemed to take a fancy to me landing on my shirt and head. Facinatingly scary! But calmy walked out of there.

Found with LCollinge

A lovely short walk & pretty nice bridge . No tb in this cache. Took 5c and a well needed hair scrunch on a hot day. Left Lego & small toy. Tftc

Had us stumped for a minute but found reasonably quick enough

Found while caching in Daylesford.
TFTC

We could have found it in the first five minutes.....but it was much more fun to clamber over every shrub rail stump and rock within cooee for 40 minutes first..!! Left nothing...(this cache is a little over populated), but took #23...no surfinsafari which is a shame as we were on our way to Great Ocean Road...

Took me a while at the bridge to figure out where the cache would be. I looked at it's exact spot a few times, just that it was covered in bark so I couldn't pick out the hide. There's a decent number of DNFs at this cache, I can't give the hide away but there's a huge bridge right in front of you, where would you stick the cache out of reach?

Easy find after listening to a Swiss-Italian family sing-a-long in the park. Continued around the lake to finish the day.

[^]
5.30pm - We had been looking forward to the oportunity to revist this cache after not being able to find it the first time. FF was the first to spot it... in a spot we're sure we looked last time. Oh well, at least we can stop feeling foolish now.
No sign of SurfinSafari.
Left GEOF Fox #23, 2 GeoRecipe cards, a goose and a chicken. Took NZ coin.
This is such a beautiful bridge. An unexpected surprise as you stroll around the lake.
Cache has moisture inside and log book is a little damp.
TFTC

We walked along the edge of the lake to find this one. We were intrigued by the unusual bridge construction. TFTC Greetings from New Zealand.

Found on the most glorious spring day, all whilst the SES & RAV evacuate a person with a broken leg only Meters away. Tftc.

Thanks for the cache!

Dropped in to this picturesque spot after leaving a meeting at Daylesford. No-one about today, probably because it was bloody freezing! Easy find once the GPS settled down and stopped sending me 50m further on than I needed to be. TNLN. Thanks.

Have found previously. Showing friends the joys of Geocaching whilst staying nearby.

Left path tag

Have been often in this area but this is the first
time as a cacher. Despite the rain we went for this one
and it took only a few minutes to find it. Nice hide in a
beautiful ( autumn colored ) park.
TFTH. TNLNSL

Feeling a bit foolish but after 20 min of looking we still couldn't find it. Had to stop when muggles arrived. Such a wonderful location. Thanks for bringing us here!

After no luck fishing, we tried our luck at the cache as we were close to GZ.
We actually found this on the same day as KI bug, but we left our swaps behind for Geo pre-teen to swap, so we came back a couple of days later.
As KI bug are/were, we were staying very close by (we left today). Unknowingly, we must have crossed paths with them at some stage. It's a beautiful and peaceful spot to stay & it won't be our last visit here.
Took small torch & left turtle.

Found on a morning walk, avoiding rain, mud, puddles and muggles. We are staying very nearby so had to do this one and it had quite a surprise ending - loved the structure and location in general. T: TB and crocodile (no place for one of those here!) L: ladybug Thanks Dr Klig for the cache, exercise and the little piece of history.

1117. Living in the district, I had been leaving this one for a special occasion. Passing on a travel bug I held for 2 weeks was such. I over inferred from the description so over complicated the search but A+ and I got there in the end. Beautiful morning, lake glassy, and muggles at the GZ moved on soon after our arrival. TN, left Nurnberg postcard travel bug. TFTC.

This is a beautiful place to visit. We had a picnic and went canoeing before setting off to find the cache.Thankyou.

We've been to the lake before but not looked for a cache. This is a lovely spot to visit. TFTC

GPS on iPhone playing up. Not good reception. Couldn't work out which side it was on. Lovely place.

Found this cache. Kids got to see a waterfall.

Lovely place with great facilities close at hand. Will definately be back here. Thanks for leading us here Dr. Klig.

TNLN

Just a great place to go, the catch is in a mossy eating house and they eat you as soon as you get there

Found at 5.10pm. What a fantastic location. I loved this area, thanks for bringing me here, I'll be back. TNLN. TFTC.

It was a lovely day out for the whole family for the first time since my holiday started. The trip to GZ took us a long a nicely manicured path around the lake. Took nothing, left nothing. Thanks for taking us there.

great day for it. Took marble left coin. Awesome spot! Thanks.

What a beautiful place. Especially now in spring
We had a nice walk around the bush.

6.30pm After a disappointing loss in the grand final, it was nice to walk around the lake and take in the waterfall and bridge.
After checking all the wrong places, we finally found cache. Took nothing but dropped off Hawaiian Adventurer TB. Thanks for bringing us out here Dr Klig

Continuing our Victorian sojourn we only had time for a single cache in Daylesford today. Beautiful spot, this lake, and the cache gave us an excuse to do the circuit. Crossed the old bridge and when I continued up the hill I saw how it used to be a rail bridge. Found the cache in the logical spot and dropped in a TB and a pencil, geodaughter took some headbands and dropped in some dice. No sign of listed TB. Continued on around the boggy track past many fallen trees. Must have had some serious rain. Thanks!

You're right about this being a lesser known spot. We're camping here in the middle of school holidays and it's all but empty!! OK - maybe the unseasonally bitterly cold weather has something to do with it, but we're enjoying the space and quiet!

Made the wander over here after breakfast at the tent for an easy and satisfying find... Waterfall in full flow today. Wonderful.

absolutely beautiful spot. tftc. took frog left planet
