OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUESTED PLEASE

Hi there pprass,

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

Full details 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, when the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned. [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,

Geocache Description:

This cache has been placed to give geocachers a different perspective of a local landmark. The cache is a 1ltr camoflaged clip top box. From the nearest car park, you will need to walk approximately 400 metres along the beach, which is accessible at high tide.

This location is very special in Australian palaeontology - it is where the very first Australian dinosaur bone was found. The single terminal toe bone was discovered in 1903 at Eagles Nest, near Inverloch, Victoria, by geologist, W.H. Ferguson. This carnivorous dinosaur specimen is referred to as the Cape Paterson Claw.

William Hamilton Ferguson was a Mines Department of Victoria geologist who was searching for coal along the coast near the town of Inverloch in 1903. He possessed an uncanny knack for finding fossils where others could locate none. This is exactly what he did on the coast at a place immediately west of a prominent rock stack called Eagle's Nest. There he discovered and collected an isolated toe bone of a carnivorous dinosaur, the first dinosaur bone found in Australia to be described in a scientific paper.
