As there has been no response to previous request to attend to this cache, this listing is being archived to stop it showing up on search lists. The cache owner is either unwilling or unable to maintain the cache - the cache has effectively been abandoned.

Cache ownership requires attendance to maintenance matters which, apart from physically looking after a cache, can include updating any changes to the text, updating coordinates, responding to Reviewer enquiries, removing Needs Maintenance attributes and Enabling the listing.

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 Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.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 article [here](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 both the cache name and GC number.

### **MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###
I notice from one or more recent log entries that **this cache appears 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.

Prompt attention by cache owners to any log that indicates anything could be amiss is greatly appreciated by all seekers. The guideline advises; ***"if you can't check/fix it straight away then Disable it till you can."*** see here: [Owner is responsible for visits to the physical location,](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance ) and here's how; [Temporarily Disable and Enable,](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235) also check out this Blog: [Helpful Tips To Keep In Mind As A Geocache Owner.](http://www.geocaching.com/blog/2015/03/you-hid-your-first-geocache-now-what/)

Please respond to this situation by **13th January** 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 how much more time you require.

**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.

This was a really pleasing find.
It was a very bright sunny morning with the heat of the day starting to kick in. It was nice to find refuge in the cool gloomy tunnel. A quick glimpse at the distance reading on the GPS, and the cache was in the first place I looked.
That never happens for me!
I'll just pretend for a moment that I'm getting better at this game, lol.
The cache and log scraps are showing some age, but otherwise all is well.
TFTC.

Another good find while in the area today.

My 'droid had me on the other side and then I decided that perhaps it was at a different altitude. Nope, walked back down and then looked in a logical spot. That container looks like it will need replacing at some point fairly soon as the rust is getting to it.

Quick find for me, thanks!

Found with dog Trixie nice find great cache

Nice and easy find. Was on wrong side to start, but recovered

Nice find. Tftc

Quick easy fi d. Nice

Out and about with Promontory on this great Melbourne Sunday Arvo. So many muggles on bikes! !!! Cheers for the cache

Out and about today with hergab69 & Bradman7777. Searched between passing cyclists, initially on the wrong side. Soon spotted on the other side.
Nice work!

Nice quick find! With hergab69 aushockeychick

After a little confusing GPS wise it was staring us in the face. TFTC

Came caching with legoman9x around this area. Tftc

Found with Winniethebear. Hard to collect area with the muggle traffic. Cache and log cover probably needs a little maintenance. TFTC.

Not where I thought it would but then sighted it and just had to watch for muggles . Thanks jsmyong55 .

TFTC

Another find on our walk along the bike path. Found with benr33. Tftc.

TFTC nice

This was a quick find, but with retrieval and return to the timing of passing muggles. Tftc.

Awesome hiding spot! Very clever.

Be careful; there are many cyclists!! Tftc

Needing a cache to keep my present streak going, this one was on the way home and a logical one to look for. A really quick find and, surprisingly, no traffic around until it was safely re-hidden. The new log is holding up well. TFTC!

Found it

Took a bit of thought but found it. Log extremely wet.

The whole inside a container is soaked. Log not usable. I removed a soaking wet ribbon and 2 small balloons. Put a strip of paper in a small zip lock bag for future logs.

Found on a biking run today with the rest of team. Nice spot TFTC!
(beat you to it, Lachlan)

Nice spot. GKs enjoyed the echoes in the tunnel.

Enjoy the geological exposures here too. Lovely sedimentary rocks...

In Melbourne for a meeting and this cache was nearby so I made a quick stop and grabbed it on the way pass. Those bikes certainly speed pass. TNLN TFTC

Good one - my son was happy he found it all by himself. Thanks

A bit of a stroll out with the dog tonight I thought I'd tackle this area about 20km from home as there are a few cache in this area. Hoping the rain will hold off. Tftc

Beautiful mild Autumn day so had to dodge a few fast moving bikes. Managed to take a little break & reach down grab the cache & sign. Nearly got collected getting back on left hand side to continue on but thankfully lived to tell the tale. TFTC

TFTC good to get my wife out in her wheelchair and do some cacheing together on a sunny day...Give this a FAV for that reason as so many hides it,s not always possible....

TFTC trailrunning. Walked right up to this cache. Nice placement. The cyclists are running hot this fine, cool Melbourne morning so caution is the go. Jimmytherat

The afternoon was getting on now so we made our way to this cache as the last one for the afternoon. A walk through the Oh, Multi-coloured Tunnel...yes, you can still see the green under all the graffiti...brought us out at GZ and a very quick find...there really isn't too many places that it is likely to be!

Thanks Trailrunning for keeping this one going.

The sun was really starting to shine today and things were heating up. We enjoyed our walk around the beautiful Koonung Creek Reserve despite the heat. Enjoyed watching the dogs walking their muggles and dodged the cyclists. Always love a cache which makes you walk through a tunnel, especially if it's not a scary one like this. TFTC

Found while riding into the city this morning. I had to dodge quite a few cyclists and joggers but soon had it signed.

Easy find!!
TFTC

nice one! took a while as we were looking on the wrong side

7/2/15

Sneaky good one

TFTC very busy track need to watch the muggles! A good day out riding!

TFTC

Nice easy find. Cobwebs!

On the bike riding on some of the local bike trails. I thought that I would grab a couple of caches. There were few muggles around as it's a week day and due to the muggy weather. A quick find. TFTC.

A good Hide. Thanks

This was a quick find in between cyclists, the cache was full with some cards so I removed them enabling the log to fit nicely. The log book needs replacing, it is currently 3 bits of paper. Thanks for keeping this cache going, I will have to do this trail on Bike one day. )

I was waiting for a bus, so strolled over to kill time. Thankfully it was an easy find. Nice spot. I had a walk through the tunnel afterwards. Thanks for the cache.

Nide hide, tftc

Completed Valley of Darkness with BernieH, Stemicmitsar, geo_gas and Happy Chappies and then continued on to this cache. Quickly found amid multiple cyclists all trying out for the Grand Prix. TFTC.

In the area to visit Valley of Darkness with the CO for a guided tour. After successfully completing the Valley challenge stemicmitsar, rmdhudson and I wandered the area to grab a couple of additional caches this being one of them.
Found quickly by rmdhudson and signed by all. Cache in fair condition. Thanks for placing this cache jsmyong55

Found @ 9:32am, find # 3869.

After completing our adventure through the Valley of Darkness, BernieH, Rmdhudson and I continued along the path to this one. Once at GZ there was a lot of push bike avoiding, a short time later rmdhudson had the cache in hand.

Thanks to jsmyong55 for placing this cache.

Relatively easy but well hidden to prevent loss. Good one!!!

At first I looked on wrong side and quickly realised walked over and Found right away

We walked back and forth even up cliffs but we finally found it.

Pretty hard one to find

Enjoy walking toward the cache.
Haven't been here before.
Thanks for bring me here and cache

Found it, thanks.
As easy find as a break on our bike ride this afternoon.
As previously said, the log is damp and full.
Some kind cacher has left some paper in there which is still dry and has lots of space.
TFTC

Could do with new log as is full wet and starting to fall apart.

Quick find while out with 2peasinapod2012.
Lucky I had a note pad with me as log in cache very wet and falling apart
TFTC

A very quick find at 4.15pm. Log was all full ,wet and mouldy so we put in a new piece of paper.
TFTC

good find

Little K man found it quite quickly, after dad over complicated things!

First oneeee
Woo

Much fun, such cache, wow.

Found with jelenagreenleaf

Creepy place at night, found with georocks101. TFTC

Hard one we thought until we found it. It was a great geocache and a cool hiding spot.

Logbook full, but thanx.

That's one more find for the father and daughter team (51) TFTC.

Quick find today, thanks

On our way down the Eastern today and dropped past to try our luck. As we were looking at the gps for the direction to look our youngest boy quickly found it, had to be careful when signing the log as bikes were zooming past us from all directions. TFTC.

Nice easy find out about 6m though

Found on an afternoon walk, pretty busy area but easily accessible.

I couldn't find this geocache, maybe I'll have better luck next time!

Great find on mornings walk. Tftc

First for the day

Nice place but heaps of bike riders

First find on Christmas eve

Nice easy find TFTC

Hevic had found this one previously, so it was her turn to watch me struggle to find a cache. I had to disappoint her as I found it in five seconds flat Sorry Hev! But I liked the cache location, and enjoyed the walk despite the rain. Cheers!

Like this stone surround on this tunnel and seems well used. Was in the second place we looked.

Had been looking for a while, rummaging through rocks, testing screws and bolts. Yes, we were leaving, and yes I was just double checking, my caching partner half way down the tunnel, and I yelled to him " Good thing I double checked, but next time lets bring a pen!"
TFTC, my "leaving cache"!

After some heavy rain last night it was a tricky find, but got it! Was hoping to do all the ones along the track, but this was the only one we could find. TFTC

After some heavy rain last night it was a tricky find, but got it! Was hoping to do all the ones along the track, but this was the only one we could find. Book is totally full of signatures, new one please!

Found lots of other junk and rubbish we thought were Geocaches. Found it at the end, good hide SWAGER

Tftc creepy tunnel at night

Tftc on a run with my brother and the misses and a couple of mates thanks. Needs more paper

Thanks jsmyong for the great cache. Only took a minute or two to find this one but a great little cache. Thanks! PIPPAESP

Took 2 times to find it. Hard hint. But great hide

Horrible cold windy day so no muggles around, didn't even see a cyclist. Found fairly quickly after I looked where the kids had "looked" already. Just as we where leaving we met a muggle with a massive dog. Just it's head was as big as my daughters whole body which she was a bit scared about but I enjoyed patting it. TFTC.

Zoom, zoom, zoom. Dodging cyclists while searching for this one. Quite an easy find. TFTC

Took a while, was in one of the most obvious places, looked in the same spot 2 or 3 times before we found it.

Nice and easy

Cool find

Found it, nice and easy!! Forgot to bring a damn pen so will come back to write on the log next time I'm in the area TFTC

After a DNF at Wave Rock, it was good to find this one quickly and easily. However, upon arrival at GZ, a collegue from work rode by and asked why I was loitering around. May have to introduce her to this wonderful world. Thanks for the cache, jsmyong55 and Trailrunning.

This cache 'attracted' me to here

Time for a pause on a bike ride from home out to visit the Melbermans for Sun night meal. This has been on my list for a while, so good to be able to mark it off. Not too many muggles passing by.
TFTC

Found while on a Sunday bike run out to Ringwood and back. Came to a stop after emerging from tunnel, saw from the Garmin that I was close, then spotted the one place it could be. All good! T4TC, jsmyong55!
