###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

Hi there Cache Owner,

This cache has come to my notice as there is a 'Needs Maintenance' log that that indicates there is some sort of issue with the placement and it needs your attention please.

Check out the Guidelines here: [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable the cache**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) within 14 days,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?

You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:

- Check on the cache, repair and/or replace the cache 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 praises.

- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (within 14 days). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. For ongoing issues (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to speed.

- 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 I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will unfortunately have to de-list (Archive) it 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.

We found this cache without any problems at all. It may need some attention as it probably won't survive a downpour. Would be a shame to lose such an old cache if the next cacher could possibly help with a container. Unfortunately, as we are camping, we don't have anything on board that we can use. Thanks for keeping this going for so long for us to find.

This was a quick find but definitely could do with some attention. Thanks for the cache.

As others before us have found, there is nothing more than paper under rocks left of this one. Needs some attention before any rain comes.
Thanks for placing this cache, Team Tandoori

Day 6 of our epic trek to the St Arnaud Mega via Geelong. As you do.
The constant was my travel companion for the entire trip, - Anymules. but we were joined by almost local cacher Bushfire for a lot of the escapades

Another day of caching our way back over to St. Arnaud from Bendigo. We took a very slow and circuitous route finding numerous caches along the way. Pulled up and the needle pointed into the thick scrub. This will be fun. Then arrived at GZ and like the previous finder we found the various parts of the log, and swag scattered around the area. Don't think it would be animals, same fossicker angry that it wasn't a real nugget perhaps. [?] Needs some TLC from the CO.

**Thanks Aussie Dingoes for this cache. **

Similar to the last finder, we found the log sheet and a couple of bit of swag at GZ. We’ve put it all together under a pile of rocks.

Thanks for the cache Aussie Dingoes.
Found on 16/11/19 at 16/11/19.
Find #9888.

As per found logs, this one is in need of some CO attention.

I am logging this as a find although all I found were some note book pages some with Geocaching signatures on them and a few ziplock bags. I gather all I could find and place them in a serviceable bag and placed them where my GPS indicated the GZ to be. all held down with rock. I think cache has been got at. May be the CO could check on it some time. TFTC.

great spot. Good exploring with the kids!

I have a good excuse for not finding this cache. The track I was coming in along was washed away and my ute landed nose first. The ute and I were both rather shaken up so I abandoned the hunt and went back to the bitumen and headed for a rusty0316's home to rest up and recuperate.

Another time hopefully.

Tftc nice day for walk easy to get lost

Found it after walking through the scrub

Nice one lucky it hasnt floated away, i like it

Found by G & A

An interesting drive through these roads, once we got close to GZ we then went on foot to GZ. We certainly needed to wriggle our way around the diggings. SL TFTC

Spending a family day out & about cache finding. Easy trek in for geohubby & geokid. Quick find.
TFTC

Checked in again today to confirm all is well at this GZ.

Interesting spot and nice walk to find if!
TFTC!

Found with Cardiackelli.

Suscoe decided to have a day out to the north west of Bendigo and then to return and take on some Bendigo caches too.
It was a sunny day early one but clouds rolled in in the afternoon and kept things cool today.
Just ideal weather for caching really.
We had a great time exploring places we had never been, revisiting some roads we have been down, seeing sheep and cows and lots of grain paddocks as well as a gigantic hay storage place.
Thanks to Team Tandoori for this interesting spot out here.

This is one bush track we managed with a bit of a problem but got it. Now to get out tftc

Made a quick find after a short walk from the track.
All good with cache. Signed and replaced. TFTC.
Thankfully track was pretty dry.

Pack a picnic and with geocaching for the day great fun had by all

Find number 6050 at 8:55:36 am
On the way to Swan Hill for a Mega lead-up event and grabbing a cache or two along the way.
Strange place in the middle of nowhere. Interesting
**Thanks for placing this cache Aussie Dingoes**

31 cache finds and 2 fantastic events attended makes for a wonderful weekend away geocaching! [^]
Especially when the caching is in the old blokes' territory and you just know thta you are going to be going 'oooh, aaah, awesome!' over and over again!
Even the weather played its part by showering us with rainbows, sunshine and rain all at the same time [^]

Obviously I found the one dead end however a nice stroll ensured that the cache was found [^]

19/02/2017 - 10.36am - No. 868 - 6th of 7 finds for the day - with Surefoot24 & Darren on the return leg of a Geocaching weekend to attend the weekends 9 month to event event & find others while in the area .

Sadly our weekend away geocaching has come to an end & we had to head home but we left early so we could do a little finding on the way. Headed to round the outskirts of the town for another find. The right sort of vehicle made the approach to this cache easy. We got to about 80m to go & then needed a walk in the bush I made sure to mark our entry point in to find our bit of tupperware (or similar). Interestingly we came across a couple of metal detectorists after we had done our signing bit. Any luck I asked, "No" was the reply. Another great hunt & a safe & direct return back to the road & vehicle was made. Signed, sealed & returned to it's home. Thanks for the cache.

Into the mallee we went using only our GPS s to guide us to the cache which had about nine months of unloved! Hooray! Old Res Rd led us out easier than ours route in.

I ventured from my last find, Unity Dam, on to Morrow Rd, full of confidence to retrieve this one. I approached a hump on the road, an easy drive till I got on the other side, crunch, thump, bang... what I didn't notice was the ditch running across the road after all the rain in the area.
My radiator was pushed back towards my motor..... short of crying, I gave up the hunt and cautiously drove back to Inglewood. My car is now with the panel beater. Please take warning about this hazard. I'll return to collect the cache another day.

Called in and found the container was ok but replaced it with a much sturdier one and added a spare log book.
Cheers Andy,
from Roma and Max.

Found with a broken box log dry TFTC. LS regards

We found your cache Nugget Country
Found with misschief18 as we were in the area for the Wedderburn Events.

The cache is in good shape.
Thanks Team Tandoori for the cache!

Found with Highrod on the way home from the events in Wedderburn. Really in the bush out here! TFTC

Up for the weekend with Fergzter. After a short walk we where able to make the find, even if a bit damp. Thanks for the cache.

Found in the company of LionJRB while doing a bit of geocaching in the area. Eventually we made our way into the GZ and made a quick find. The cache was a bit damp but we dried it out as best as we could. Not surprising given recent rain events in the area. Thanks for showing us this location.

Great find with the Lexton girls on Good Friday!!

Should have brought the gold detector:)

An easy find with the girls.

Find No. 1308. Found at 2.09pm.

An afternoon drive with geodog Penny on board to go over to Inglewood, Bridgewater and down the Calder a bit, to grab a few caches to fill in the afternoon.

Parked the van and another walk into to bush on a lovely afternoon. Penny enjoys these walks. Again Mr Tyred n Cranky located this one before me, then Penny had to show me where it was. She is getting to be a real caching dog.

Took ball with figure inside. Left tiger.

Out with eldest geokid. Took a bit as the trees sent us wandering, but it was great to get out on such a beautiful evening.TFTC

Found this a while ago with friends, nice cache. (With JesseMD)

On a family day and noting that this cache is not an easy one with littleys. Once again for the second time today all swaps were taken and nothing was replaced making it not so fun for the children.

nothing like a stroll through the bush on a sunny Sunday afternoon. TFTC

After a delightful stroll around the towne, I was back in the geomobile headed for Nugget Country
And yes !!! Guess where I ended up ??
At the dam

I found out by driving around the dam that this was not the dead end it was supposed to be
Another bouncy track headed off into the bush and joined up with the 'main road'
The main road has a new coat of gravel on it !!
But the recent rains have still softened it !!

But I made it close to GZ and parked.

Then there was just the short battle with the shrubberies to reach GZ
And of course, a fun cache find [^]

TFTC.

Another Wedderburn event by the Old Blokes meant a good range of creative hides.

This cache has sat on my unfound list for quite a long time and I've driven through the area a number of times but were never quite sure which approach to use. This time I studied the maps before hand and worked out a suitable path. After parking as close as I could I headed off through misty rain for a 100m wet walk. Cache was found surprisingly quickly as I was expecting to spend quite some time searching in the meagre torchlight.


Thank you, Team Tandoori and Aussie Dingoes, for keeping this cache active.

Nice little walk in the bush. Didn't find gold, but found a crystal.

Find # 1704 @ 1801 H

After having a great day in Kerang at the event I was heading home. it was not until I was in Inglewood that I realised that I had 23 finds for the day and as Im always one for stats I was looking for my 24th for the day. well knowing that my picking were slim I remembered that I still have one left here in town.

Pulling over I soon had the cache in my scope, it was just to plot the obvious route into it.
Getting as close as I could with the Geo Ute, I was soon legging the final 100mt to a great little location that is defiantly Nugger County.


TFTC Aussie Dingoes

First stop of the day after leaving Wedderburn. We made it down the track to the 100 metres from the cache mark and parked the car. Looked for the geotrail but could not find one so marked the spot and headed into the bush. Wow what a site, this place had been given a real working over 150 years ago. Even had evidence of a good size puddling setup. Will have to come back here one day. Thanks for the cache.

Coming home from the Wedderburn event we stopped of in Inglewood to grab a few caches, initially took the wrong track and unless I crossed the train tracks wasn't gonna get any closer! Found a track in that the AWD handled easily enough and managed to get approx 100 meters away. We went under over and through the scrub until we came up with the goods! TFTC

Found while geocaching with Tamzy, paddyjak & cbjh1990

Short walk weaving our way through the scrub on our way home after attending the Wedderburn event and having a great weekend, sighting a few termite mounds and telling the team members not to accidentally bring the little fellows home with us a little further down we found what we were looking for. Another find for our big weekend TFTC

Thanks for another great hide and find

Wow - this is quite a rugged area. Drive to 60M or o from the cache.

Picked up on yet another trip with the plod wonderful cache in a fantastic location! Thank team tandoori for the cache!

Am sure we went about finding GZ via the most round about route - so it seemed at the time. Persistence paid off and the prospect of striking it rich was the spur. Alas no nuggets but a few rusty tin cans and lots of crumbly rocks. Cache found with 'The Comrades. Thank you to 'Team Tandoori' for the cache and its 100% muggle free location unless they are made keen prospectors!. Great fun with this one. TNLN.

Who could resist a 'detour' as we approached Inglewood? It was a quick dash thru' the bush in the fading light to reach the cache and sign the log.

TNLN . . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt Team Tandoori (and the maintenance crew).

been past it hundreds of times

If wet and don't have 4x4 I don't recommend. But dense bush find was awsome. Left poker chip took nothing TFTC

Cool find

We called in today on our way home from the Wedderburn event and replaced the container complete with a new log book and some swaps.
Can't remove the Maintenance required attribute which is no longer applicable!
Cheers Andy, you will have to remove it from your end.
Max & Roma.

Cache lid is broken and contents are wet. Cheers

Well we drove in and found the one "dead end" when we arrived at the dam...Good thing we were in our trusty and faithful GeoDaewoo. Up the dam wall and across the top until we reached the right track on the other side. (We refrained from any circle work in the bottom of the dam). Drove as close to GZ as possible and thought "No way! Way too much thick scrub". Drove on a little bit further and were about 30-40m+ further away from the cache as the crow flys and followed the "creek line" (or at least where the water had flowed) in to the cache as this was a lot more open looking. Made our way to GZ and quickly located the cache. SLTNLN TFTC

Took the 4WD down a wet and slippery track following the rains during the week. Parked as close to GZ as possible and hiked in through very heavy and dense vegetation. However GZ was really interesting with what looked like moon craters clustered together.
Nugget Country has not been found for a while so cache is quite wet inside.

I followed the dirt track in the 2WD all the way to this cache, the road is in OK condition for a 2WD, although I did have to take some bits slowly. Found the cache, and noticed there was a gold detecting muggle who'd made an entry as well.

Out caching this morning with the Blacklegend and Haveanez crews during the pre-Easter event. We did some on the kids events this morning including the Easter egg hunt and miniature train rides and now we were cleaning up a few caches we didn't do yesterday. Time for some more 4W driving so we made our way close to GZ before Marshy headed in on foot to locate the cache. I followed soon after as I had to change into my caching pants (trakkies) but the job had already been done. We looked around at the diggings and could see where recent water had done a lot more erosion. We commented on how we should come back with some metal detectors at some stage. There's gold in them there hills . . . Thanks for the hide.
Found while in the area attending the Pre-Easter event near Bendigo over the weekend with my good mate Blacklegend (Marshy) and team Haveanez; and during a five day caching blitz with my two boys (Tyler and Cooper) which eventually took us through the Victorian Goldfields, up to the Murray River in Tocumwal and back down through Wangaratta.

Found with bogonghazy, kinkell1 and riddell on a day whilst at the Pre Easter Event. Pleased to see the cache has survived the recent floods, but the log book was a bit damp. A nice quick pick up, signed and returned. Seen more spider webs this weekend than I cared too.... Many thanks Team Tandoori

Found on a fantastic three days caching with my good mate Marty (Quasar3671) and Team Haveanez. The trip included attending the Pre Easter Event 2011 event. Had three of my kiddies with me including my older daughter Jacqueline, 6yo Jasmine and my 4yo boy James. The trip took us through a tour of the Victorian Goldfields and then back up to my place at Tocumwal. One of around 110 finds for the trip.

This was another fantastic caching experience. After battling our way on some tracks to as close to GZ as we could go, we then had to make a 100m walk through orb spider infested bush to GZ. At and near GZ, lots and lots of old diggings which were sensational to see. I would love to come back to spots like this with a metal detector. TFTC.

Found with bogonghazy, riddell and sully1 during the Pre-Easter Event.SLTNLN Thanks for the cache
Loved the area and told a gold hunting friend about it....not quite where though....her husband was sooo jealous!

Great place for orchids and another test for Bogonghazy's new cachemobile.
Bit of bush-bashing involved and look out for the spiders!
We did this as a group effort.
Thanks to Bogonghazy, Sully1 and Kinkell1 for the driving and the company.

A couple of new scratches on my newish car here.....well, it couldn't stay pristine forever.
But all for a good cause, a nice walk in dodging the spider webs and a quick find was made due to the spot-on co-ords.
Thanks on behalf of riddell, sully1 and kinkell1, Team Tandoori

Found on a great weekend out with the Blacklegend & Quasar3671 crew.
A bit of a walk through the bushes to get to the cache.
A good spot, but sorry, no nuggets today, we'll keep searching though.
Thanks for bringing us here.

Nice place

TFTC great spot left man took ball

Found this, along with a few others on one of our first days out seeking caches. Due to inexperience we failed to log the visit as 'found' at the time. Sorry. Thanks, Team Tandoori for the cache.

A quiet and isolated spot here today, and an enjoyable day for a walk. We had a few problems finding a path to this one, but we got there in the end. Now, where did we leave the car?

TFTC

my type of place, good on ya team tandoori!

A fine autumn day for finds such as this. It must have felt terribly isolated 150 years ago, except for the company of the other prospectors. TNLN. TFTC.

Wow - good fun and becareful drive the car along to the park and walk along to cache - good spot. SL. Thanks Team Tandoori for organising the cache and hunt.

Found at 1320. Having parted ways with Rubik after a fantastic days caching, I decided to grab this one aas well before heading home to Wodonga. First attempt I was met with a dead end. The second attempt was much better, as it took me to within 150m of the cache. It's interesting how this area is completely out of sight. You'd never know it was here.

Thanks.

I grew up in Inglewood....but I can't remember riding my bike up this out of the way track...Well done for finding this area....and thanks for the cache.....I noticed that we walked past one of those circular holes that horses use to walk aound in circles to power quartz crushing or something like that....We took thong keyring and left Dino the dog..the car made it out in one piece...Thanks Team Tandoori

Found it late in the afternoon as the sun was setting. A scarey place to look for a cache. M. Spyderbte trekked off into the bush... I stayed on the path and waited, waited, waited.......fighting off spiders ...Eventually found, TNLN. TFTC

Well this one tricked us last time coz we found ourselves on the wrong side of the dam (thanks to nuvi) but we just decided to follow our noses this time, and after some false starts and geowife saying "Do not cross this ditch." " Why not?" "Because it scares me." We finally got on the right track and found the cache but, sadly, no nuggets. But we did find a Geocoin. TFTC

12 of 12 on our days caching trip to Wedderburn, nice area for a cache.

The family went and got this one while i got the detector out to find my own nugget, but alas no gold only your cache was found, that'll do though SL TNLN.
On way back from GZ the dam was empty so tryed the detector again still no luck , but the girls found some crystals.

You never know what's just over the hill or around the corner.

Thanks for the cache and getting us out of the house. Cheers n.s.e.w.where?(paul).and boys.......

Located in the morning, a short leisurely stroll on a lovely morning through the old diggings. Must have been a fairly productive aluvial site in it's day. Good cache. I enjoy the caches that are a bit off the beaten track. Thanks, Cazza.

Found cache on visit to Inglewood to do some serious shopping at the new IGA. It must be the best one in Victoria.
Cache was full of goodies and not too hard to find. Added our usual pencil sharpener but took nothing. A cold, overcast but most enjoyable day.

Found almost 12 months ago but looks like I forgot to log it.

Found @ 4pm Nice spot off the beaten track. Enjoyed the diversion from the drive from Donald to Melbourne.

Our first for the day on our slow trip (caching) toSwan Hill. I liked the note about the dam, we not only found one but two, then we couldn't find our way out! We eventually found our way to a road like track (unlike the goat tracks we had been trying) and followed the arrow. Going along smoothly until we found the disused channel that really tested the commodore's brakes then suspension. We got to about 180m before we decided to walk in. A quick and easy find, in mighty bean, out snake SL TFTC
