Pioneer Pool Moolerr, Victoria, Australia

I cannot see any information that suggests to me that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement - one or more of the following applies:

- Cache Owner unable to maintain cache
- 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.
- Cache has been abandoned by cache owner/cache in disrepair

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

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

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash.

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

[u]MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?[/u]
[navy]This cache would appear 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.

Geocache maintenance is a cache owner responsibility. Your prompt attention to any log that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers, see here http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance
The guidelines advise; if you can't fix it straight away then Disable it till you can . . . . . . . and here's how; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 . . . . . . . . . . I have disabled it for you this time! [^]

Please respond to this situation by 21st August 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.

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

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

I put a new container and log out yesterday. Didn't even last 24 hours. I recommend that it be archived. High Rollers have not been active for quite a long time.

Arrived at GZ to discover an uncovered hidey hole with rocks and bark scattered. Seems to have been muggled yet again

I still see this showing up on my map.i have replaced the container with a log and pen only. See how long it lasts.

Please put in new one thank you

Once again this cache seems to have been muggled, about a month ago I placed a container here with just a log book in it, but it looks like the this area is too well known to the locals as my container and log book have gone AWOL.
Sadly it might me time for this one to go.

Searched the area, but sadly a DNF for us here today. [8)]

Obvious spot located bu not cache as expected.

we are staying here for the next few days and will have a look, but dont hold out hopes with the previous logs, is the CO still caching surely a driveby is worthwhile?

I went past here yesterday and didn't see the cache in the place that I had found it previously.

I hear from a couple of sources around town that the cache has been muggled (someone said that they saw it with stuff strewn everywhere).

Might need checking.

DNFd this one today.

Found it sorry for the late log

Not a lot of water in the pool at the moment, hope any fish that may still be in there are doing OK. Earlier in the day we had a chat with Gordon from the RSL club who told us that he learnt to swim in the pool and that they used to have competitions to see who could swim the furthest underwater on one breath. Apparently his brother was the king of this and Gordon was second best at this. His brother was able to regularly swim more than 75 yards on that one breath. When they felt that they where out of breath they would take in a little water and then let it dribble out of their mouth as they swam along. Not sure how this worked for them. SL TFTC

In the wood

Found

Beautiful view of old pool. Tftc.

Tftc

Found with emthegem and TeamLauren. Found with any trouble. Would have been a great pool back in the day. Thanks for the history and the cache.

Wasn't hidden very well so his it better this time tftc

Good hiding spot

Great view

Easy!!

My first find

Easy find

Our gps was way off here and so we spent ages looking for this on wrong side of fence quick find in obvious spot once we ditched the gps TFTC

I am well behind on logging caches, attempting to catch up.
Apologies to CO's for not logging specifics about their cache.
We certainly appreciate all the effort cachers go to hide and maintain their caches.

With a public holiday in Bendigo for Cup Day, the Sisterhood of the cargo pants set off to conquer St Arnaud caches. What a lovely area and nearby is so lovely and green we decided to have lunch here. TFTC High Rollers.

I love these old places from times gone by. I imagine what they wouldve looked like, crowded with people and in good condition. Sad what they have become. Found with Crazy Creels. TFTC

Another fine St Arnud cache found in the company of The 2 Wanderers and Misschief18 the history of the pool is very interesting, thanks for bringing us here.

Found today with The 2 Wanderers and wozzle 68. An interesting story about the pool.TFTC

Found today with Misschief18 and Wozzle68. Another good find and a smilie for us. Didn't like the look of the water in the pool.
SL TNLN TFTC

Quick find this time

Not very hard

Good hiding spot

Found, after dark with torch. Needed maintenance badly, I have replaced thr container, kept old swaps and added a new book and swaps.

End of season football function. Our torches caused a muggle to approach us from the Football Club rooms, we had plenty of time for 3-Point turn and kicked some dust in his face. Watch out for football muggles.

Took a little tracking this one but rj finaly snatched it good hide tnln tftc.

We found it with a little help from a friend

Nice hiding spot!

Night walk with venturers, great hiding place

Found it! Good hide. Easy enough for me. Might need a bit of maintenance( tipped out the water) TNLN . TFTC

Needed a bit of searching but got there while Saints and Magpies provided light relief in the background. The log is sodden I'm afraid. tftc

Walked straight past it!! But found not long after turning back! Needs new log book

Woooo hooo! Left a little something...

Had just ordered some fish and chips for lunch and we ducked up here to try our luck for a cache or two. We made this our first one and it was interesting to check out the old pool complete with diving boards still in place, thanks High Rollers for the cache and for showing us this old piece of St Arnaud's past. Worth a fave from us for the history of the area.

A fairly easy find once we were on the right side of the fence. Found at 3.10pm on our walk around town. Passing through on our way to Mildura. Stayed the night at the local caravan park.
Sad to see so many businesses closed down in town which was probably once thriving.
Loved the pool and history behind it all. TFTC log was a bit wet.

Wow what a large pool that would have been in its day. Thank you for bringing us here.

A quick find on a lovely day tftc

A quick find while on a day out in St Arnaud. Heading to Wedderburn for the weekends events, Walked the long way from where we had parked car nearby! TFTC

Walked for some distance to reach the GZ but it was good to stretch our legs before continuing on our way to Wedderburn for the weekend TFTC

Suscoe had a day out in the Wedderburn and St Arnaud area today.
We started nice and early and enjoyed a day of beaut sunshine and almost no breeze.
This was the 24th find of 34 for today.
We enjoyed the countryside and the green grasslands looked delightful, we hope the farmers are pleased.
Thanks to High Rollers for this cache and yes that is some impressive pool.

Found with Bogonghazy on Day #2 of our assault on St Arnaud/Donald and surrounds. This was one of 31 finds for us today. A delightful spot. Almost has the Roman look. BH had his eyes on the job here and quickly had the cache in hand. Thanks to High Rollers, for bringing us here today.

Another quick find after packing up the van at the caravan park next door.
Sully1 and I enjoyed our weekend in this great little town, thanks High Rollers

Found in the dark

Our first night cache find. Staying at caravan park and decided to give this one a go. Found. Quite easy after about 10 mins searching. Filled in log,a swap and tucked away again to swim another day.

We spent a wonderful over night stay at St. Arnaud. The caravan park where we stayed would have to have the best views of the town.
After the lunch break we went out to find a few caches. We drove around the town along farm roads & 4x4 up a mountain. The caches were varied a great after noon of caching.
This location must have been great in its hey day. Favourite point for location
Thanks for placing this cache High Rollers.

Found # 9947

after parking up the van, then it was off to get some nearby caches

took : nothing
left : nothing

Thanks for the cache High Rollers

Thank goodness it was where it was in today's heat; SL, inspected the loot; TFTC

Easy

We arrived at the CP to find the office un-attended so I went for a walk to fill in time while the other half waited for the care-taker. TFTC.

Hi Found it nice easy grab. TFTC

A fantastic view of this old pool which continues to provide an unusual recreational pursuit for a swimming pool. TFTC High Rollers

Quick rest stop on my way to Melbourne from Adelaide. Nice little area TNLN TFTC

A walk from the caravan park led to this easy find. TFTC

Almost a drive by if you are on the right road. And lo and behold we were only a just over the oval from last nights event. This sure is a compact town. I noticed this cache was placed in 2006, must have been one of the first ones around here.

After an enjoyable lunch event we headed out with Team Crackers, Maccamob and Micaparamedic to find some more local caches, many eyes made finding the cache easy.
Thanks High Rollers for the cache,
Regards The Coffee's.

Staying for a few days at the van park, was able to find this one close by. Thanks.

Found our first ever Geocache! Cannot believe I have only heard about these this weekend! Exactly the kind of find I expected. Took a nice treasure as a reminder of our first cache and gave one in return.

26TH May 2013 found by King and Queen on our way to Berri SA for a club nation rally, arriving at St Arnaud, in convoy 6 campervans and 2 motor home we parked next to the oval and race track,, the GPS said hello, you are 0.3 from a cache as it was beautiful day for our geocaching King Sr went for a short walk to GZ while Queen Sr. went with the Club group down town to visit the Bible Museum The park was quiet and I soon had the cache in hand, signed the log and went to catch up to the group, this museum is not to be missed when in the area, make sure you see the butterfly’s in the museum

Having a great time on holiday.
Slowly working my way back to Ballarat then Melbourne then home - one cache at a time!

Soon found. SL TFTC

Our first cache in Aus.Hope to get a few more before we go back to Christchurch. TFTC

Great hide! Took maze left calendar tftc

What a climb! Tnln! Tftc

Found, while visiting the area.
A nice easy find.
T: Dice
L: mini maze
TFTC

Only my second cache outside my home country. Thanks!

After a scheduled stop to do a cache in St Arnaud turned into a longer non-scheduled stop due to some caravan problems we decided we may as well take advantage of the situation and fill in some time while repairs were in progress at the nearby repairer. Not only were we able to discover the delights of this small and well equiped cache location but we were also able to meet some of the local geocachers and that was really great as we enjoyed being able to exchange stories and ideas. We found this cache after a short search and enjoyed having a look around the location.
Nice work thanks to High Rollers.

TB Visit, TMJ ツ

Not too tough

Out of the way spot! TFTC

We swam in the old pool 40years ago
Happy memories
Signed log
Left orange book mark frog
Took cow
TFTC

After riding all day with the Saints and Sinners bicycle tour group I thought a few extra Kms to your cache would be OK.
Discovered the nicely hidden container and signed the log before heading off for a shower and a rest.

On the way back from our meal at the sports club we walked past this location again. I could have saved a few Km earlier in the day.
The pool has an interesting history and the sport field looks good.
TFTC High Rollers

pool didnt look inviting enough for a swim, grabbed cache signed then ran for cover, icy rain. tftc

Nice quick find. Pool doesn't look very inviting at the moment. Going back to finish off chai latte on way ti next cache. TFTC.

First ever cache and closest to home. Took Endian 2006 Geocoin (heading to a new location tomorrow), left lobster. SL TFTC

Just dropping off

Just visiting

In St Arnaud on a day trip, found this one after a great lunch at Country Kitchens. Took nothing, left Auskage F truck travel bug. Fdic.

Having lunch

Quick easy find SL TNLN TFTC

I found this rather easy. It had been muggled.
See photo. Fortunately all the bits were there.
I collected the wet and dirty trinkets for disposals.

Signed log and hid in an appropriate location

NOTE: Might be worth the owner relocating as the kids (i guessing) know its there and will do the same again.

Found with geo child on our way home after completing the Wandering hero's series. We are trying to fit in as many caches as we can on the way home to Wonthaggi. Made a quick find had to hurry as it was about to rain and I wanted to do the other cache not far away before it did. TFTC TNLN

Quick find on the way through town.
Thanks for bringing me here.

Found it
Took rubber left dice

Find #19

Found at 4.55pm

Had taken the push bikes home and decided to walk to this one with our dog.

A lot of history around this area.

Took small dog
Left Rhino

NOTE:- Container has crack in lid and therefore there was water in the bottom of it. Drained out the water and replaced the cache upside down
