As there has been no response to the last request/s to attend to this cache, the cache is being Archived on the basis that it has been abandoned.

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.

The [Geocache Maintenance guideline](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported. Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the [Help Center](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

If you wish to contact me please send your email via my profile - [Bunjil,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

### **MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###
This cache would appear to be in need of owner intervention, therefore I am temporarily disabling it 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.

Geocache maintenance is a cache owner responsibility and includes regular visits to the cache to ensure it is in proper working order, especially when a seeker reports a problem with the cache.

Your prompt attention to any log that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers, have a read here: [Cache Maintenance Guidelines.](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) The guidelines advise; **if you can't fix it straight away then Disable it till you can.** This Help Centre article tells you how it can be done; [Temporarily Disable and Enable.]( http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 )

**Please respond to this situation within 28 days - so as to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.**

If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and indicating how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to date, or the cache will be treated as an abandoned and archived without further notice.

**And don't forget,** once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; [Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [Temporarily Disable and Enable ](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

No finds since May. Would CO please check it out.

DNF after good search.

There is evidence where the cache may have been but no cache today

Had a good look, obvious location seems to have been disturbed, I think it has been muggled

This was to have been our first for the afternoon. Parked just up the hill and, shortly after, arrived at GZ. That's when it all came unstuck. Searched a widening circle around what seemed a likely spot, but gave up after about 15 minutes. Better luck next time? Our thanks anyway to solomonfamily.

Found it. Nice spot could have spent more time here if it wasn't for muggle son.

Quick find during a pit stop on todays bike ride. TFTC

WOW, Biggest find yet! Can't believe I found it! Beautiful river nearby, great find!

Beautiful area...after nearly falling down a ravine, we then walked only a few hundred meters to the river and found treasure!

Today while one half of the Tritonz was attending a work meeting close by the other took the short stroll along the path to turn this cache into a smiley. With the weather being warm , the river looked very enticing, a pity a pair of bathers were not on hand.
Thanks solomonfamily for the hide.

Lovely spot.

Located this cache while having a stroll along this lovely part of river, A very nice to find and large sized container, did stamp sign my name in log and also retrieved a Travel Slug for some more travelling, will take with me on visit to New Caledonia and Vanuatu, hoping to find a cache or two so TB can have overseas visits, before dropping in Brisbane in March

Found on our way back from peter mac

What a lovely spot for the cache with Solomon's Ford adding to the beauty here. No trouble finding the cache after a muggle bike rider went past. Perfect day with a gentle breeze - 3 ducks sitting on rocks at water level and 2 others also enjoying the area and day. Due to the calm water the reflections were magnificent - what a pity we did not have the camera with us!!! One of the best Fords we have seen especially with those huge rocks to cross to the other side on! Thanks for the interesting notes on the area.
TFTC solomonfamily and for bringing us here to see this wonderful sight this am - much appreciated.

What a beautiful area, and with the river flowing after the heavy rain, it is great to see the ducks out enjoying it! Found easily, TFTC

Thanks for the nice, easy find. Found it while out on a stroll this afternoon!

Cheers

On a bike ride up the Maribyrnong, made it up to the CO's namesake Ford here before deciding to head back home. Unlike previous jaunts, decided not to brave the Ford with our bikes and instead crossed back at the pipe. Lovely spot and an excellent container that could have been purpose made. Thanks solomonfamily for a great hide!

Date inside the log was 17th... Yet we found it on the 16th. Lolol

Tftc.

Cache Replaced

Not where it should be, please check.

Out with geowife in a different scenery while out picking up my new car tftc. This has been tampered with found bits all over but is back where I think it was. Needs to be checked out.

I'm from Hobart but ancestors are from Bendigo! I imagine they would have crossed here at some time! Thanks! Cache is really waterlogged however.

Found it after a nice look walk. Kids had fun crossing over the rocks.

Thanks so much! Parked way too far away on wrong side of river, but enjoyed the crossing.
Visited this area many years ago - beautiful!

No one was out fishing today and we enjoyed visiting this peaceful spot, in the middle of suburbia. I love these hidden away places, where you can forget the hustle and bustle of the city, yet still be in the middle of it. Thanks for the hide and bringing us here.

Thanks for the cache!

☺

Nice local one we never new was here.

Tried to find a few years ago(in my early caching days), but ran out of time. Came back today & found it, in the wild winter weather. Tnsl

Thanks.

Bit muddy but loved this little adventure! Tftc!

Great place for a cache and a FAV from me,

Great work on replacing the cache guys.

What a beautiful little pocket of the inner west.

No feet wet for this wuss! Drove the long way around

TFTC

On a wet ANZAC day afternoon, King and Queen Sr with King Jr and Geoprince replaced the once Ammo box with a different sized container. Geoprince and I then crossed the running waters and returned a bit muddy. I had to restrain Geoprince from taking a dive into the swift running waters.

Now back online.

An exchange of phone calls between King Solomon Sr and Jr - we are considering our options.


Our thanks for the heads up and the photo.

It's definitvely unfortunetly gone.
Nice spot here but I think too easy for miggles and a wonderful box for Muggles to use it in garage at home or for fishing...

I hope, that the following Cache will be more happier.

Kind wishes,
Come2gether

Not too sure about this one! Might have found its hiding spot but not sure.. little scared of snakes in this weather but possibly could have been removed.

Has been moved and can no longer be found

Visited twice with no luck. Mozzies had a heyday on my legs and feet but my signal was weak and the end result: no cache

My first geocache. Throughly enjoyed finding it.

Thanks for the find.

Awesome find. Love these types
Found with Plinkin86

King and King with Geoprince and Geodog.

With thanks for the alert from Mauriziocorso77 - we decided to do a maintenance run today - we had not visited our cache for here for some time. On arrival we found the cache out in the open - which amused us - we replaced the log and refilled the cache with a new set of goodies before we rehid it and went to visit our GCA version on the otherside of the ford. Even King Sr made it over there

Our thanks for the alert.

Thanks for the find! The notebook is full however. This is my favourite geocache!

First one for ages!

Easy to find. Nice area for a walk. Thanks.

Lovely cache. I used to come here as a kid. Thanks for bringing me back

Down the track over the rocks and up the path to the GZ. Nestled neatly in the spot. Love an ammo tin. TNLN TFTC solomonfamily.

Great to find such a big cache in suburbia. Took a moustache and pencils, left a hair clip and bracelet. Great cache for the kids. Geodog even had a swim.
TFTH

Nice find

Found on a nice ride in the area. Pearler!

Awesome day for geocaching... And a great walk for the dog. First timers... With more chaches to find!!!

Yay! Awesome find

Awesome location and hiding spot! TFTF.

Well camouflaged

Hh

Easy as to find

Easy to find

Love a big cache and even better when close to home.

Used to play here as a kid and my cousin lives close by. I can still remember delivering newspapers and dreading this hill.

TFTC!

Nice find

TFTC, beautiful location.

Found my first one walking with Taryn and the kids.

Found it. Nice walk in a nice area. With vorbis2.

I grew up in this area but have never been down to this path along the river before. A nice history lesson to go with the visit and who doesn't like hopping over rocks in a river. Until you put your foot up to your shin in that is. Thanks for the cache.

Thanks for a lovely day by the river =) A bit too cold for the small man to risk rock hopping but I've promised him we'll come back and do it in the summer.

I liked the history lesson associated with this cache…I also liked rock hopping across the river like countless others have done over many years. I stopped to get a couple of photos from the middle of the river before moving on to find a big cache. If it wasn't for geocaching I would never have known about this, thanks Solomonfamily.

Nice spot! Went for lovely walk along the Maribyrnong.

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Thanks loved the location!!

So easy!

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

third find today
TFTC!

Such a great spot!

Awesome container!

I had an appointment nearby but I arrived a bit early so I decided to grab a cache whilst waiting. After parking at the top of the hill I walked down (dreading the walk back up lol) and hopped and skipped my way across the ford before spotting an ammo can peeping out at me from the bushes. Great to see one in suburbia. After signing the log I returned to my car, stopping past the nearby GCA cache on the way up (thanks for the waypoint, I wouldn't have known about it otherwise!). To top it off the climb wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be!
TNLNSL TFTC!

Found with sksjd on a day out for te school holidays thanks for bringing me to an area I would beer have known about otherwise tftc

Great history lesson

Crossed the ford and collect gca cache while here

Tftc

Yay we found it & pitch black at night too! just out for a usual walk with our kids & dog. Signed log & left an Aussie lizard info card. Great fun so close to home. More around here would b great

Easy find! And great location!

First find of its kind for me and the first visit to Solomon's for me!

I found this geocache using the Geocaching Intro App. TFTC!

Found while out riding the Maribyrnong River trail. The cache was visible from the trail though not too obvious due to the camo. Tried to make it a little less visible when replacing it.
Thanks for the cache and the history - very interesting. TNLN.

We found the geocache! It's fascinating it's been there since 2009! David & Beth

With jimmytherat nearly drowned crossing the ford but survived to find your cache. Never walked here before. Very enjoyable! Thanks for bringing to our attention.

Terrific find with Noelle04 and bafflingly the only cache on this terrific stretch of walking track along both sides of the mighty Maribyrnong river. Will need to go elsewhere for more hunting.

Find # 3934 @ 1:08 PM. My wife and son decided to do some baby shopping at highpiont, so I had an opportunity to do some caching. Easy find, TNLN, Left my mark in the log, Thanx for placing this cache....
