400 find logs and 11 years later it's time to wave this little sistema goodbye. Pretty good run for some expanding foam filler and a small plastic container. Still, time to move onwards and upwards.

### **MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###

I notice from one or more recent log entries that **this cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.** Therefore, I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Prompt attention by cache owners to any log that indicates anything could be amiss is greatly appreciated by all seekers. The guideline advises; ***"if you can't check/fix it straight away then Disable it till you can."*** see here: [Owner is responsible for visits to the physical location,](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance ) and here's how; [Temporarily Disable and Enable,](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235) also check out this Blog: [Helpful Tips To Keep In Mind As A Geocache Owner.](http://www.geocaching.com/blog/2015/03/you-hid-your-first-geocache-now-what/)

Please respond to this situation by **1st November** to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

**And don't forget,** once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; [Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [Temporarily Disable and Enable](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

Found it real easy! GPS slightly off
 
11-Aug-16
brought geohubby here to find this one for himself.
 
07-Aug-16
Thought I'd do a quick stop and grab on the way back to Stawell. Took a good 15mins to track it down as it's quite cleverly concealed. I literally stepped over it 4-5 times before I spotted it. Nice camo. TFTC Smile
 
03-Aug-16
Note: Lid to cache has a crack, lid or container needs replacing, water leaking through to contents.

Cheers My GPS GZ was slightly off to the cache location but, i looked around, I happen to spy it.

Today was a busy day for the sims family. The morning and early afternoon were spent in Diggers Rest attending a wedding. We had a couple of hours to get back home, cook tea for guests who were coming over, and then head out to a fund-raising event in Geelong for the evening. Of course a cache needed to be squeezed in there somewhere as well, and this one was conveniently on our way home.

We were initially a little confused about where the cobbled road actually was. After a bit of a look around, we found a frame which looked like it had once held a sign, fairly close to a path that led into the area of protected vegetation. A quick google search at home confirmed this to be the case, and provided a little more reading, that I imagine the sign may once have done.

As it turns out, the cache was found and logged much more quickly than the path! Thanks to caughtatwork for a fun cache, and keeping a little bit of history alive for others to come and see.

I found it it's the first one I actually found the others my children found woo hoo go mee! Pretty damn easy
 
17-Mar-16
Found, plenty of trucks
 
06-Mar-16
It took a few minutes of hunting before this cache was located. The cache and contents were in good condition. We were a little confused about the cobbled road. The rocks had been piled up and we were not sure if the stones in the road had been removed and piled or the road was higher than we had anticipated. Thanks caughtatwork for this cache.
 
02-Mar-16
Found it at 1230 hrs. TFTC. I would recommend some maintenance. The cache bears no resemblance to the clue. I'm guessing, but I think the original design was created by spray foam insulation extruding from a duct. The foam has dried and looks like broken chunks of uncoated Cadbury Crunchie bar. Log has 3(?) small pages left.

12:47, 25 November 2015. #286. This little fester has been nagging at me for a while now. I can't remember whether I've visited two or three times before (DNF logged December last year) and had issues that stopped me finding it. Then there's the passing the site fairly often but not being able to stop for a proper hunt.

The jinx was over today on a hot windy Wednesday. Wasn't anywhere near where my iPhone had pointed me previously and took me no time flat to find today. The camo has deteriorated a bit (no, a lot) and the log was slightly damp but not too wet to sign.

SL. TFTC caughtatwork.

Nice to find a geocache with some history behind it.

Found this today with Posho6. Cords a little off but not too bad. Judging on previous comments, the previous camo is cactus but still well hidden. Lid is cracked, also, so log a little damp.
TFTC!!! Smile

It's still there people. It's slightly off the mark, and a little tricky. Log books are a bit wet.
 
24-Jan-15
We think the site has been cleaned of rubbish (along with cache). Had a good look around but could not be found. Sign with info about cobbled road is missing from frame. Sad
 
04-Jan-15
2nd DNF for today. Area looks very disturbed.
 
31-Dec-14
My first time trying to find one but got attacked by ants and Girls screaming they saw a snake. Will try again when I'm on my own
 
17-Dec-14
Paid this one a visit a bit before mid-day today. Only spent about five minutes hunting, as the GPS was all over the place like a mad dog's breakfast and what should have been ground zero looked like it had been disturbed big time. Looked like a heap of rubbish and soil had been dumped and pushed around.

Maybe another day.
 
10-Oct-14
Yes found it had to look if I was working out here with all the trucks passing
 
03-Oct-14

Found it without the gps cos the coordinates are too confusing. It 'rocks' when you can find it regardless Smile.
 
06-Sep-14
Have driven past here many times before on trips to Melbourne, but never knew this old piece of cobbled road was here. No info sign anymore, but it was great to see this piece of history. Cache found fairly quickly. As previously noted, logbook is a bit wet but signable. TFTC caughtatwork
