One or more of the following has occurred:

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.

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 assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

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.

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.

Hi. I'm sending this message via a new handle, not as a new cacher. I've been handed your cache that was found by new owners of the property where it was hidden. I am in bendigo, so can you let me know how I can get it back to you? Thanks Jodie.

Didn't find

I couldn't find this geocache, maybe I'll have better luck next time!

I couldn't find this geocache, maybe I'll have better luck next time!

Searched high and low, and even lower , but could not find this cache. Hope to return and give it another go soon.

Never felt too comfortable here, bees buzzing busily overhead, was a bit nervous about looking too deeply among the rotted branches, but still valiantly searched the most likely places. Hated the close proximity of a storm drain to GZ, and wouldn't advise allowing littlies loose here. No smiley today.

Surprising place for a cache. Had to beat our way through chest-high grass on a hot day in January. Luckily we didn't find any snakes. A quick find.

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Sorry too long to log it.
Went there for Victorian Deaf Caravan Group Christmas party.
Found it
Thanks fozzy778

Found with Muller36 20/06/13 TFTC

took a bit of looking but we got there

A good location. A warning to all cachers - watch where you are putting your feet. There is a concrete pit which may be hard to see, with all the long grass, if you are not careful.

TFTC

Traded my emu for a whale! Watch out for the stinging nettles! TFTC!

Found this a while ago
Thought I’d update my finds only a few weeks late
Very well hidden fun search
TFTC

Went the wrong way for a while. Finally found it. All signed.

The dog came across the road to wet our tyres. He probably loves geocachers visiting his territory!

We spent part of the morning walking past the historic buildings then walked up Anzac Hill. The GPS said it was not that far to the caches up the Perkins Reef Rd so we continued on to the find. TFTC fozzy778

After crossing the Nullarbor we left Port Augusta and drove to Burra, selecting a few caches to pick up on the way. At Burra we went on a walk past the many historic buildings, several of which also had caches close by. More caches were selected along the roads to Mildura. But on the way from there to Mildura we were quite frustrated by two caches that every one else had found but we couldn't; now that is annoying. A day at Maldon made up it where the only planned cache we missed was one where you had to be there on the days the building was open.

Found on the way through Maldon for work.
Good hide, had me looking for a while.

Took the victor mower tb to place elsewhere and left a momento for the kiddies.

Tftc

easy to find, not much to look at in surrounding area.

Having done the tourist thing along both sides of the street in down-town Maldon and partaken of a pastie from the famous bakery, it was time to get back to serious caching again. This one had us heading out of town. The day had turned into a very dreary, wet one, but every now and then the rain stopped long enough for us to make a dash to grab a quick one. SL at 1.33pm Took: Jack Russell sticker Left: lawn mower TB. Maybe they need a pruning saw to trim back the peppercorn tree to allow the sign to be more visible!! TFTC Fozzy778 #1639

Great hiding spot nice quick find

Last time we came it was dry and snakey. Easy find this time. Took a car and loaded the cache up with a few toys. TFTC

Found it, Cool little hiding spot

Nice easy one

Another cache to be had on our caravan and caching holiday

Nice quick find. TFTC

found, but was hard with the old man across the road and his angry dogs that decided to wee on my wheels, hahaha, nice hide, thanks fozzy778

Found with a group of scouts from 2nd Springvale while on a camp in the area. They had a great time caching and exploring the area.

This was a nice easy find by the scouts - I had hardly got out of the car when i heard them say they had it. While we were signing the log a muggle from across the road was watching us, but he didn't approach so I hope all is ok.
Thanks

Another instant find by geo-kid. He's running hot today

Quick find in a great location - TFTC!

Find it straight away let our lil man got the cache out TFTC

Found it today! took a marble and purple rubber duck, left a plastic lizard and eeyore travel bug! TFTC

Nice Location. fairly straight forward find once you step back and think about the GZ. TFTC

No TB

A loverly cool spot on a hot day, I see why you gave it the name.
Found a travel bug here and will assist him in travelling far and wide. left a maxtrax keyring.
TFTC

Easy peasy, tftc

nice driveby TFTC

Nice easy drive by. TFTC

Found on our caravanning and caching tour of the area.

Very dry and grass was short so made a quick find. TFTC

It didn't look like an oasis here today, it was dry and hot and lots of places to look. Thankfully the grass and thorns had been slashed recently, so a quicker find than it might have been.
Thanks fozzy778

no spiders but lots of mossies!!
thank you fozzy778 for the cache and the fun finding it
sl tnln
opps signed the wrong date...

Another caching from our Central Victorian base. GPS wanted to take us into private property but settled and we found it.
TFTC

Was looking with friends for a long time but couldn't find it, was a nice place though

don't be scared of spiders

Very highe grass, lots of stinging nettles, got stung! Found cache, liked frog

Grass and weeds are high around cache area. Got stung. Liked the frog. Thanks

dajjct has full credit for finding this one. My attire was not very suitable for the terrain. Long pants would have been best.

Found with JimmiDee & Allisin, Caleb & Tabitha.

We checked the obvious places but decided not to search further due to the large area of stinging nettles.

Nice Cache, watch out for all the Stinging Nettle

Lovely cache at night.
No dramas.
Thank you.

Found while out on a caching day with highrod, ST37E, S 4 Sammy and TilleyTB. Grrr...I'm allergic to that sticky grass, but with a little help from highrod and ST37E the cache was quickly found underneath all the undergrowth. Log signed and a GA frog left nearby. TFTC fozzy
Find 865

Had to laugh at this one. We drove clear across the state to get a break away from our dairy farm.. and where do we end up looking for this cache...? Thanks for the challenge fozzy, thankfully the way in wasn't as overgrown as it could have been! A clever little hiding spot. TFTC

Easy find thanks

After a stumble through the long grass we came across the GZ... Poor 'Mattman Wanted' got attacked by the poisonous ivy that's guarding the cache... Good hiding spot just be aware of what's around

Found at 2:35pm after a delicious lunch in Maldon. [^] An oasis...mmm perhaps it is this green all year! Took: Hair ties and Echidna TB Left: Kaliedescope & Helicopter Hamster TB SL & watched footing! TFTC

Didn't notice the Twizel Devil TB in there.

tftc

FOUND! A little night cache with the stars was looovely.

Little prickly and overgrown now but as fun as ever.

Nice and green down here at the moment
Tftc TNLN Sl

The GPS told us where to go "Surely not...?" and sure enough, after much scrambling, the cache was retrieved. For any future seekers, watch your step! TFTC fozzy778

Very clever little hide. When you visit this site, be careful of the hole on your way to gz (and also all the dog poo leading up to GZ). Geotoddler wanted the stamp, left green gemstone. TFTC Fozzy778.

Kids liked this one. Having a great day I Maldon.

After a great event yesterday we were still in town, so picked up a few caches before heading home. Yours was one of them. We wondered if the old house opposite was still lived in. Although it's chimney is about to fall over it still has television arials attached! Lots of gorgeous old buildings around here. TFTC.

Found @ 1540 Hrs on the first of three fantastic days caching with my good friends Moosetash. The trip (which had been organised some time ago) included attending Spladem's 500 Event held in Maldon. The trip took us through a tour of the Victorian Goldfields with some fantastic history & photo op's.

This was a nice cache which required a little bit of searching....

TNLNSL TFTC

Thanks to fozzy778 for bringing us here!

*Cache in good condition! TB NOT SIGHTED!!!

A quick find, not sure about the oasis though? Tftc. Tnln

Good spot houses around but still seclueded

This one took a little to find, GeoH waited in the car and fed Geo Jr sugar until asleep, GeoW grabbed the cache, TNLN SL TFTC

Found on an arvo out with Tigersden. Tftc

Found this one with great help from our newest recruit, Robin of the Hood. It pays to watch your step.

Found on a day out in the area with 42below
Thanks fozzy778

Found the cache, but am still looking for the oasis lol.
TFTH!

Quick find. Wondered if people attract attention looking for this one. TFTC TNLN

Found as a team with jonnykins. Tftc

today quick and easyyy teamed with robeert

found with wife and daughter, on a sunny day ?? not my idear of a Oasis

My 700th find! Nothing really special about this one, a pretty easy one to park and grab, just a bit of a challenge dodging the wet grasses and big gaping holes.

Good ride by on the geocycle with a friend on our way to afternoon tea in Maldon.

Found with benneyboy41 tftf

Nice hide I don't really get the name but it's a cache in the bag all the same tftc

Second day of caching at the wonderful Pre-Easter Event. We skipped the kiddies' games, and headed out caching instead.
A joint find with Black Bunny, Candy Cane 101, and Mr_Roo.

Thanks, Fozzy778!

Found with Blackbunny,just a cacher and candycane101 the only problem we had was the old man across the road that wondered if we needed anything TFTC fozzy778

Black bunny, just a cacher, mr roo and i skipped the sunday morning train ride and went caching insted.
Mr roo got to the cache and was signing the log, so i went back to the car and this old man was watching me and asking do i need something. i put the sweet face on and voice on ( i hardly do this face or this voice) and said we were okay but he did not leace until our car was moving. Lolz
Thanks for the cache, Fozzy778

A quick grab while down in the area attending the Pre-Easter event. A old muggle over the road was very interested in our stop here today, although he could not see what was going on.

Thanks for the cache Fozzy778

Found @ 7:50am. find # 765.
While on our way to the pre-easter event we had time to find a few caches along the way.
Seeing we didn't have to go too far out of our way for this one, we stopped to have a look and a quick look and a quick find it was
Thanks to fozzy778 for this cache.

No luck with this one

Found on a fantastic three days caching with my good mate Marty (Quasar3671) and Team Haveanez who we cached with on Saturday and Sunday. 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.

Eventually located by Marty in a likely spot after a bit of a search. TFTC.

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.
Out caching with Marshy and a few of his kids this afternoon and now in the Maldon area to see if we could clean it out. Stopped on the side of the road and the kids waited in the car while Marshy and I headed in to find the cache. The area was very overgrown and it was a bit of a battle to search around. Luckily I spotted a likely hiding spot and we were soon signing the log. Thanks for the hide.

Found in the company of Sully1 on our way to the Pre Easter event.
Nice place for a cache here, beautiful area.
Thanks Fozzy778

Stopped into Maldon while on my way home from Bendigo. Went looking for this cache. I was a bit concerned about the long grass but pushed on and searched GZ. Finally found the cache.
TFTC

Found on the way to Bendigo today. Came here in thongs (duh!) so had to send in Taterhead #2 for the grab. No snake to be seen but did disturb a bunny. Best to be wearing shoes and long pants here but easy enough to get to. TFTC.

As we were about to park the car we spotted a large brown snake slithering from the road to the grass 20 metres ahead. We have been pushing our luck walking around in the bush over the past few days in extreme heat. We chickened out due to my respect for snakes.

Some interesting rust and wheels in a paddock not far from GZ - took advantage of a good photo opportunity. At GZ I diligently and determinedly trampled some of these darstadly stinging nettles (Urtica urens). I have long held an animosity toward these botanical blighter's, when in my earliest years, the lesson was learnt while playing around sheep-yards and shearing sheds, where they seemed to grow in profound and prolific profusion. I and my brothers wearing nothing but bare feet and shorts. Itch, itch, ouch, rashes, redness and fiery pain. Mums only comfort was cuddles and Calamine lotion. At GZ cache easy to spot. How can a rock get in there? Watch out for the drain! T4TC

CJSAN found it because I didn't like the stinging nettles - no I tell a lie he's just more cleverer?
