This cache is temporarily unavailable.

Bunjil: ----------

OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUESTED PLEASE


Hi there whit's wanderers,

It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is some sort of issue. The recent logs may contain more details about what sort of issues are evident.

The cache has been temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location, until the issues/s can be addressed.

You do need to respond in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.

What you need to do:-

You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

  • Check On The Cache - once checked, place an Owner Maintenance log and then enable the cache.

  • Place A Write Note Log - indicating a date when you expect it will be restored. If you have a long term unavailability (where you don't have an actual date), please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks, so as to keep everyone up to speed.

  • Adopt Out or Archive - depending on whether you want it kept or for it to disappear.

A full explanation for each of the above choices can be found at GEOCACHE MAINTENANCE on the Regional Policies page.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of the above. Well, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned and the cache will be de-listed (Archived) at the end of the 14 day period, without further recourse to the CO. [V]

It would be far better if you decide, so please do something before then. Please don't send an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Continuing the Pedal-Power Power Trail (PPPT) with a "Kick Start" series of traditional geocaches that starts from the Bendigo end.

Pump up your tyres and dust off your helmets this series is designed for cachers of all ages to get on their bike and ride the O’Keefe Rail Trail !

We have continued the Pedal-Power Power Trail (PPPT) with a "Kick Start" series of traditional geocaches that starts from the Bendigo end.

You are looking for a micro container containing log only - BYOP. Although a micro, all hides in this series are next to the trail and should be easy to find.


Background Information
This line was built in 1888 by Andrew O'Keefe to link Bendigo and Heathcote. From here the line continued to Heathcote Junction, near Wallan, on the North Eastern main line. The construction of Lake Eppalock in the 1950s meant the end of this lightly-trafficked branch line and it was completely closed by 1968.
A rail trail between Bendigo and Axedale was established in the late 1990s though like its former railway it was basic affair with rough surface and many low level crossings.

Features
• Relatively flat rail trail traversing box-ironbark and yellow gum woodland
• The gravel trail surface is now of a good standard and all low level crossings replaced with bridges. However the many spring loaded gates remain.
• Horses are only permitted east from around Longlea to Axedale.
• A major upgrade is currently underway including extension to Heathcote.
• BYO food and drinks are required.
