Dandy Show Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Bunjil: 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.

Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Dandy Show

Founded in 1871, the Dandenong Show is held annually in the 2nd weekend in November. The show features livestock of all kinds, art and craft shows and contests, sideshows, antique and modern car displays, traction engines, thrill rides, live music and so much more. My favourite event is the “Dog High Jump”.

Attendance is massive…20,000 visitors each year, yet the show still has a great community feeling with displays and stalls courtesy of local schools, Scouts and Guides, the CFA, The Australian Armed Forces, and all sorts of interest groups.

This cache is best approached by bike using the Eastlink Bike Trail. If you prefer to drive, the Bennet Street entrance to Greaves Reserve is usually open and you can drive to within a hundred metres of GZ. If you come by train, a 10-minute walk from Yarraman Station will get you to the showgrounds (and you will pass two other caches on the way).

Please do not attempt to find this cache at any time during the 2nd weekend in November!

As you approach GZ, please watch out for bike traffic. There is no need to climb over the 7-strand wire fence. You will need to bring your own pen, as this is a micro.

Podium Results:
Gold (first-to-find) goes to Alchemy2.
Silver - Mr.Coffee and the Coffee Clan (a very close second)
Bronze - Daryllm123
Congratulations.
