Time to let this old cache go. Served its time and I live too far away for maintaining. Thanks to all those who stopped by.

Arrived at GZ and found the cache immediately. Unfortunately the cache was completely submerged in water and contents destroyed. Needs urgent maintenance. Thanks for the hide

Cache is completely submerged in water. I placed a rock underneath it to bring it above the waterline but the contents needs to be replaced

Thanks for the cache. It was totally flooded with water and the log book is too wet to write in. Emptied the water out and put it back, but it needs some maintenance.

Restrictions lifted

Disabled for the duration of the Covid-19 crisis. Advice is to stay home and geocaching is just a game. Geocaching encourages non essential travel and contact transmission is an issue so it is the responsible thing to avoid caching at the moment.
Thanks.

Nice and quick

Don't slip on ya bum and fall in the mud like I did lol. Pretty soggy down there at the minute!. Thanks for the cache all looks to be in order.

Could not get to due to roadworks

Found on our tour around the country today a very quick park and grab. TFTC inspectorrexteam

Quick stop to grab this one on the way home. CIGC TNLN TFTC

Time to head out along the road again with ilook4geo. Some of the caches on the list for the day we had to pass by, as there was no safe parking place with us having a caravan in tow. Of the caches we actually looked for, each was found and had both names noted in the log book, before being replaced as it had been found.
This was a nice easy find and thanks go to feathertop for placing this cache.

There were not as many caches chosen to look for today with goingplaces2, as we needed to get going along the road as well. We had a good day, found all caches we looked for and signed all the logs. Thanks to each CO.

When we stopped at this one there was major road works going on and the road gang had park a lot of there equipment in front and in the property (Spring Hill Estate). We used stealth but that does mean that prying eyes were not watching?

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Thanks **feathertop**

Cool TFTC Cheers

Very nice. Leaving kilmore was confusing but exciting

A nice quick find on the way home from a conference in lancefield,tftc!

TFTC. We had been to Mt Disappointment for the last two days and were heading back to base in Maryborough. Being tantalizingly close to a 200 cache day we stopped here in the semi darkness. A quick find and signed log.

*4 Nov 2018, Found @ 2:04 pm, Find # 8493.*

Today I headed out with biggles1024 to target a few caches and also work on a project cache over at Mt. Macedon, along the way we were able to pick up a few more, like this one.
This one was a very quick find as we spotted it before we even got out of the car, the log was then signed and we were on our way.

**Thanks to feathertop for placing this cache.**

I headed out with SteMicMitSar to Mount Macedon to do some more work on a 'project' cache and also to attempt two nearby night caches.
A nice, quick drive-by as we continued our way around these tracks.

An early start yesterday with Trailstevo to do a few events. Up at 5.20am and off we set for Lancefield to do the 5km Parkrun, picked up a few drive-by cache on the way before hand. Nice to meet a few of the locals at park run, a nice bunch, and then headed to the local bakery after for a Cappuccino and bacon and egg roll. After downing it we head for mount disappointment collecting a few cache on the way, and a DNF at on of the local old mines, and then the last 15 we needed on the power trail. Took the long way around in a few spots as i wasn't too impressed with some of the trails and risk of damaging the car. Eventually headed to the event an met a few of the geopeople I know, collected Melbourne 1st and enjoyed some stunning view. Thanks for all the hides everyone. We have a fun day out. TFTC

Melbourne's First turns 18 years old: sounded like an event party that I wanted to attend
So did dalerious and Cybergran V therefore we headed off into them thar hills and a day of geocaching where 1 event was attended, 1 DNF occurred and 19 finds were made.
I still managed to NOT get to a multi in Seymour that I have been wanting to finish for months and I also didn't get to finish the few Dad's Mt Dissa caches that I need to find to have completed the series nor to make a find on a recent DNF but then I guess that's just caches left for another day out!

When at the event I was once again reminded of the generosity of most geocachers when they shared their food with me (thank you [:X][:X] ) and after speaking with a motorcyclist whose bike had fallen and broken an engine cover[xx(] because with just a few attendees, there was someone heading close to the rider's home who offered him a lift so that he could quickly get his car and trailer and return for his bike! [^] Thanks BernieH [:X][^][:X]

As it was also an Earthcache Day an EC had to be found and so one was located that the 3 of us had not found and thus the journey home began with a tasty meal at a pub somewhere[?] It was a town with a wonderful cache at a PO... Lancefield [^]

Finally on the way home at 22:33, I found a cache by geobro that I had started years ago and not finished so that was a nice history lesson for the last cache find to end the day [^]

As I have been about 8 months behind in logging, I'm resorting to template logs to catch up.
My heartfelt thanks to the COs who have placed some tricky, funny, exercise required, scary, interesting and devious caches in some amazing spots! [^]
Rex and I have had some amazing adventures and enjoyed some incredible moments thanks to this fantastic hobby

After attending the "Melbourne's First Turns 18" event with a whole crowd of wonderfully likeminded crazies, locus cache, Cybergran V and I pried ourselves away to do what cachers do best.

This sweet little park and grab was in need of a little love, so we dried out its contents and replaced the broken container with one of a similar type. [^]

TFTC feathertop.

Up early to head to geocaching event at Melbourne's first 18th birthday with Gunks, but before that head to Lancefield for parkrun and breakfast. Clean up the caches in the area before moving on to Mt disappointment to do some more then finally arrive at the event, catch up with some others then a few more caches then home. TFTC

Quick stop off fine tftc

Thanks to Freddo for replacing the logbook on this one. All good to go now

A weekend away with Freddo and Four Fun.

Wet log book replaced.

TFTC

Cache was found in the first place we looked. We replaced the wet logbook with a fresh dry clean new one. FTF? Please enable the cache.

---------

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

----------

I notice from one or more log entries that this cache would seem to be in need of some help - **there appears to be a need for owner intervention.**

The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) I cannot see any log that indicates a recent visit by the CO to this cache.

As the CO, if you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235)

The cache is being temporarily disabling 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.

**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:

- Repair and/or Replace your cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) 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 don't plan on fixing it up then please [**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.

- 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.

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) the cache 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.

TFTC nice easy find

On the way home after an enjoyable trek out to Mt Feathertop to camp for the night and couldn't resist stopping at more than a few caches on the way back. The challenge is not to turn a 5 hour drive into a 10 hour one by stopping at every cache along the way!

Having to take a detour on the way via Ballarat and the gps seems to be leading me a strange route but the plus side is it's taking me through areas I haven't been before so that I can find the caches hidden there. Thanks for the cache feathertop.

Easy find

We detoured to this one making the trip longer so it didn't 'break' up the drive, it only made it longer. However we did get to see a nice big hare near GZ. Nice quick find but log book a bit damp but still ok to sign.

Thanks

Found. TNLN. Cache log is soaked, container not water tight. Needs replacement.

While staying at Kilmore we picked up a few caches and this was one of them.

Cache and contents were in excellent condition. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Time to go home today with the MEGA weekend behind us. We broke up the journey home with a few stops to find some caches with the kids. The geo daughter and I found this one very quickly. Signed and replaced as found for the next cacher.

**Thanks to feathertop for placing this trad cache for us to find**

Another Mega Event over and time to head home but there is always another cache to be found no matter where you are and this was the case here.
Still signing as GOTHS +2 as we have all w/e.
Thanks feathertop for placing this cache.

Heading home after the Mega, very weary but making the most of visiting a few more caches on the way. TFTC

MazzyMay and I had a most excellent time at the Mega but all things must come to an end but we are not done yet. We picked up some more caches on the way home. TFTC

Heading home now with the Mega fun completed. Been past many times but today I was stopping. The log book is damp but OK to write on.

On our way to Alexandra and this was on our way and gave us a chance to stop and stretch our legs, but not for long as it was pouring with rain.

Thanks from mogni

What's this a feathertop cache. I made sure the cache was loved and put back with TLC.

Found as part of my 2017 Alexandra Mega experience. This cache added to the fun and enjoyment of my trek to the east and back from Adelaide. While there were a few thunder storms, there were mainly clear skies and I never saw a snake! [^]

Thanks to feathertop and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

This was my last cache of the day, as I drove from Bendigo towards The Alexandra Event; the weather with intermittent torrential rain and some thunderstorms, affected my caching plans - but that's life !
This was a random cache that I noticed along the way. The grass was pretty wet by evening.
Thanks fr placing and maintaining the cache, feathertop.

We needed to take a bit of a drive to get our new puppy Millie comfortable riding in the car, and so i plugged a few caches into the GPS and we took a lovely scenic drive through the back blocks near home.

This cache was found by our four legged friend - she was very gentle, and brought it out for us to inspect for her. I can see lots of adventures in her future, especially if she is going to be this handy at sniffing out containers at GZ.

TFTC feathertop!

Nice easy park and grab on way from Kyneton to Sydney after a nice holiday in Kyneton and getting caches in the area.
Noted owner maintenance note, BUT log book was out of the sealed bag and quite damp also the container - was able to sign returned it to bag and replaced lid tightly. I also wiped the container so it was dry. The lid was not on tightly when I found cache.

Please make sure bag sealed and lid on tightly as it was not that way when I found this cache.

Enjoy caching around beautiful green hilly here.
Thanks feathertop for bring me here and cache.

Good weather but just little showers ons offs, Great enjoyed drive on way to country so beauitful town.. anyway easy to find as no trouble..

Heading for home now but still a few to go, we pulled up a bit too quickly much to the ire of following vehicles. However safely parked and after a very short search, the cache was in hand at 15:45. TFTC

Found today on our way to Kilmore. It was good as we have not got one for a few months TFTC. Log signed. All good.
