The Dandenong Rangers 5 (Mount Dandy Power Plant) 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This cache has been archived.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:

What's left of the Power Plant.

It is not commonly known but during the 1910's Australia decided to try out a Nuclear Power Plant on top of Mount Dandenong, the other countries of the world to this day do not know that Australia was the first to create a stable pile of Plutnium.
Sadly just after the activation of the Power Plant there was a catastrophy, and as most of the workers were either killed or radiated very little is known about what really happened.
To cover it up though, the Australian Government in conjunction with the RAF faked a plane crash on Mount Dandenong so as to devert media attention. You can still see evidence of the catastrophy from Montrose, it is the huge scar in the mountain as that is where the toxic waste flowed down the mountain after the catastophy.
But after careful research I have discovered the location of the original site of the Plant. The Cache is place almost near where the Power Plant used to stand.

N.B. The above information is fake. There was never was a nuclear Power Plant on top of Mount Dandenong. But it was fun to write.

The original contents were :-
1 x 3V Sony Battery CR2032
1 x 3V Energiser Battery CR2025
1 x 1.5 Panasonic AAA Battery LR03(T)
1 x 1.5 Eveready AA Battery 1015 R6
1 x English Daisy
3 x Hydranger
1 x Nastursium
1 x Salivia

Please swap either some sort of electrical device or a plant related item.
