One or more of the following has occurred:

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

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 assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

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.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Emailed the CO and haven't heard anything. It seems this one is gone.

Any chance this cache could be replaced?

@22:51. I was out caching with Burge tonight and seeing that maintenance was complete on this one, we thought we'd be able to find it but alas it wasn't to be. This is our second attempt at finding this one too.

Appears cache has been sadly Muggled - will be replaced next weekend

Hi I have checked at the spot fellow cachers
have suggested as well with no luck.

It appears maintenance needed for
a muggled cache - can we help confirm?

Thanks much to Bmacka67 - this is
a great location and a nice story. Hope
we can get this wonderful cache back
in action.

I've been here a couple of times now - after dark, but also during the day. Today I was searching all nearby trees, up to 30m from GZ, but no luck. I had given up already and was on my way back to the car, when a neighbour approached me from the other side and asked if I'd found it. Turns out he had found it a while ago, and he pointed me to where he had found it. Sorry to report that there was no cache at this location.

Could the owner please check on this cache?

Hi, wasn't able to find the cache this evening. Tried every reachable treehole in 50n around the coords. Maybe the log isn't there anymore?

The coordinates were off a bit but found it eventually.

@00:33. I was out caching with Burge, Big Blank and Cliffhanger3 tonight. We searched high and low for this one but couldn't locate the hide. Prior logs suggested expanding the search area but even then we didn't have any success. We'll have to return again soon for another go.

I wasn't aware of the error in coordinates, so I spent ages barking up the wrong trees. I was about to give up when I decided to check one more spot some 25m away from GZ and luckily found the cache in the logical location. Full of spirit I drove off again in search of more caches.

Trailrunning, Rebel Acts and I hit the road for another of our regular night cache runs and this time we went all over the place. Starting out east we made our way south before heading back north through the city then out to the north east finishing up in Doncaster. A great night of caching with trads, a couple of multis and a puzzle found during the run.
A nice park and a nice puzzle cache as well. Thanks for the hide.

Just popped by to see our cache was in a good state.. All is well!

Found it in my second go. Am new to geocaching and didn't realise there are sometimes little puzzles etc. swapped the blue ninja for a French cow key ring. TFTC

Pouring with rain so parked nearby and headed out with the umbrella. Even the paths were flooded, used other loggers suggested GZ which made for a nice quick find thank goodness. Glad to get back in the car again out of the downpour. TFTC.

Found it and logged find.

Thanks!

During the week I had noticed the emergence of a new Wherigo in Hawthorn, so I simply HAD to come and complete it this weekend. With that being the main target, I decided to make an afternoon of it and ended up clearing out Prahran to Hawthorn. A great afternnon was had with some nice hides found. Good to see an area full of smileys now . This was the 4th find of 12 for the day.

I've had this one on my to-do list for a while now but I haven't had a chance to find it until today.

Collected the info easily enough. Had to refer to the logs to find the cache though, as there was nothing to be found at the coordinates.

Please update the coordinates for the final hide!

Got it eventually. Thanks Bmacka67

Found at 16:04
I solved the puzzle using the code provided by previous finders. I stopped for a look earlier in the week but too many muggles around for a look. With rain threatening only a few around and I soon spotted the exposed cache. I signed, took the TB and replaced the cache a bit better hidden.
Thanks Bmacka67 for the cache. A lovely park for a walk.

Find #711 logged at GZ at 16:56. Helped by previous loggers. Left a TB that's been here before I think. T4TC Bmacka67!

I came here on the way home from the MCG after seeing a big Blues win against those struggling Demons. No muggles here tonight being dinner time. The GPSr jumped around a bit, maybe due to the very large trees. After searching several likely spots with my bright dolphin torch, I finally found the well-hidden cache in a place that I thought I'd already searched. I signed the log at 7:30pm. I took a smurf and left a blue ninja. I then returned the cache to its hidey-hole.

Thanks Bmacka67 for the clever puzzle and the fun cache. Also thanks for bringing me to see the enormous old trees in this beautiful park. Unfortunately I couldn't stay long as I had to go home for dinner.

Found with easty115 and the geokids. This took us a while to find. We solved the puzzle or so we thought because we found the cache about 60 metres away from the coords. We were just about to give up and move on when the decision to widen the search area was made. And to our delight it was the correct decision because before to long we had the cache in hand. SL Left muscle Smurf and took dinosaur surprise TFTC

Unfortunately the trackable isn't in the cache.

It took a while to find as the GPS had us 60 meters away but we finally found it

This was a neat little park and an excellent place for a walk today in the fine weather.
No issues locating the hide in a nicely chosen hiding spot.
Thanks Bmacka67 for the cache.

Found the cache at the adjusted coordinates. Took way longer than it should have, partly because of the large amount of muggles hanging around close to GZ preventing me from doing anything non-suspicious... A bit of shifty searching later, though, and I had the cache. Cheers!

Great Anzac Day eve weather. Perfect day for a cache or two. Took a magnetic rat (??), left a surprise. TFTC

Found 00:05, an early morning cache to start what promises to be a rather long day

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks Bmacka67.

23:27
After success at Dimmey's, I figured I may as well keep caching until after midnight, and cover two days in one trip. The drizzle started again as I pulled up and walked to the initial coordinates and paid my respects to the fallen. Then I read the cache description properly and realized what I had to do.

With coordinates in hand, I started checking the numerous likely places, looked at the hint (which didn't help narrow the field, as it applied to so many spots), then read the logs, applying the good doctor's revision, et voila. The cache is cozy and dry, unlike yours truly. Cheers.

#1490

The puzzle is uber simple, and even then the solution is out by ~25m :p That part is a bit confusing, but everything that follows is great, a pretty park and a neat hiding spot.

Found 02.02.2013 @ 19:01
Find #518

On the way out to dinner to celebrate my brothers upcoming nuptials.

Had previously been muggled away from this cache, but tonight a fairly simple find was made.

Thanks for the cache and the fun!

Cache blocked by muggle

I must have solved this in one of my sauced-up festivus puzzle solving sprees, because I certainly don't remember doing this one.. But the personal note was there, waving a waypoint marker mockingly in my face, so off I went to find the cache.

I must have used the adjusted coordinates in my drunken solution, because I went straight there, and could see it clearly as I approached (Did the possum do some spring cleaning I wonder?). lots of young lovers about, but I am the last thing on their minds so I was able to get my proof in the log without any issues.

I dropped the Find Me Fairy Travel Bug into the cache to continue her magical mystery tour, before popping the cache back into its hidey hole, risking upsetting the possum by pushing it back a little bit further out of sight.

Thanks for the cache, Bmacka67

Having acquired my cache for the day a quick scan of the nearby cache lists showed there was a solved puzzle lurking near by, so in for a penny I set off in search.

Spent a good 15 minutes rumaging around the trees at the coords of the GZ secretly hoping beyond hope that it wasn't down in the trash inside the tree with the really big hollow.
Having searched everywhere but that hollow including a small climb up one of the trees to investigate a likely nook and cranny, I sought refuge in the previous logs and therein the revised solution of others.
A quick update of the coords and the cache was now 35m south of where I'd been looking.

Onwards and despite the muggle couple snuggling in the evening sun close by a quick retrieval.

It would probably be helpful to others to update the puzzle with a better set of coords.
I almost concurred with drjim7's coords - I had FH0 AAA

Thanks for the puzzle, thanks for bringing me to this little green space in Burnley and thanks for the cache.

The puzzle coordinates are some 35m out - may I suggest an update of the formula.

A consensus would seem to be S 37 4i.fh0 E 145 00.AA0

Found on my weekly caching expedition thru the 'burbs. This week I decided to pick up a few unfound caches in the Richmond/Burnley area. After getting a train into the city I jumped on a #70 tram.

I found the memorial quickly and snapped a couple of photos then found a nearby park bench in the shade to work out the puzzle. After a few minutes my mind was befuddled trying to work out the puzzle and then how it fitted with landau351's and drjim7's adjusted coords.

I got up to walk away and a likely GZ spot in the distance caught my eye so I wandered over just on spec and my torch revealed the plastic in the dark. Howzat! Found without using a GPS!

A return to this spot immediately revealed the treasure - sisso2 was there first when it was published but unable to retrieve, not because of the rain, but because of the muggles sitting on the park bench beside. Amused at landau's trouble with the law on his FTF! So another good one close to home, and the end of a mini caching spree on a Boxing Day afternoon.

This would have ended to a DNF without drjim7's fh0, aa0 correction. Very few people around on Boxing Day. Nevertheless I was almost caught red-handed with the box. A good place for some rest after my long walk.

Rode here after work on a pleasant Christmas Eve afternoon and found the park inhabited by a few woofers chasing balls and their owners. Had a bit of a surreptitious search with no luck but then remembered EuDes' sage advice and calculated the GZ using Landau's formula. With a bit of sneaky searching I uncovered the cache and then sat on a nearby seat to sign the log book.

My thanks to Bmacka67 and the team.

This was the first of a few to break up today's shopping expedition. I parked the car about 20-30 metres away and using landau351's revised coordinates, was able to walk straight up to GZ for a nice easy find at 14:05 in the second or third place I looked without so much as taking the GPSr out of its cradle . Just the way I like it .

With all the festivities taking place down the other end, there weren't even any muggles to worry about .

TNLNSL. Thanks Bmacka67

I solved this one a few weeks ago.. today during a lunchtime visit I was able to quickly find this one.. I'd read through the logs and noticed the 2 updated corrected coords from fellow finders.. as it was something like 25m from the calculated coords I took note of them allowing for a very quick find there.. Thanks for the cache.. Find #3244

12/12/12 12:12 PM Find #1649 It will be a hundred years before I get this date again...so I couldn't miss out and here I am. A great spot. I like these inner city parks and this is a great hiding spot ... although I did go first to the calculated co-ords but after realising the hint didn't match where I was I too used the co-ords mentioned in a previous log. Thanks Bmacka67 for bringing me here today.

I was out this way yesterday doing the Crackerjack cache but ran out of time to do it then so I returned, again by train, this time to east Richmond.
Used some of the suggested coords in the logs which helped and I soon had the hide sussed out.
Thanks Bmacka67

I was down here today to get a Secret Santa present (thank you SS!) so did this one while I was here. I actually went to the posted coords which I thought were also a bit off but no matter.

I then used Landau's coords and found the cache easily in a neat hide, thanks Bmacka67.

Always good to remember those brave people who served our country.

Another Night of caching and Laughs with the TDC, No trouble on this one, I think I drew the shorht straw and stuck my hand in for the find, thanks Bmack67 for the cache. Lest We Forget!

Another legendary TDC / Rebel Alliance night caching run. The run started with caches near Rebel's house, then after picking him up, we headed to the newly published Area 79 - Westall66 caches, the topic of which is a favorite of mine...! I'm not a UFO nut that wears silver foil on my head, but I do have a big interest in the subject, it is truly fascinating. A loop from there took us west and north, collecting yet more caches.

The night included about 35 finds personally, a possum fight and a wild peacock.... And of course all the caches we found, my personal thanks to all the CO's for their efforts and time in placing the caches, without that, we would have had nothing to find..!

The updated way of solving helped, and we had the find pretty quickly. No police for us tonight, but at some stage in our runs, particularly bayside, we usually do. Love remembrance caches, my Grandpa, who has passed away now, was in he RAN in WW2, on the HMAS Hobart. He didn't talk much about it. TFTC.

The Demolition Crew and The Rebel Alliance once again teamed up for another fun night of caching throughout Melbourne picking up some of the newer published caches around Melbourne as well as some in the home town area of Rebel Acts.

Blacklegend and I started out by collecting caches near "Casa de Rebel" before picking him up and setting off south to the newly published AREA 79 series. Once that series was completed, we headed out west and north of Melbourne in a big loop until it was time to drop the Rebel home again.

A great night for caching was had, which included seeing a peacock running wild in near Area 79: Westall66 - # 5 - Hello, Hang on!, and a full on possum fight. Thanks again to all the CO’s who have put the time in to placing their hides.

With an updated puzzle provided by the FTFer, we were at GZ and had the log signed and replaced before the police arrived! Thanks.

Found with drjim7. Puzzle has a neat twist to it. We also had to widen the search considerably but eventually found the cache with the help of the clue. TFTC.

Quite a tricky hiding spot! My take on the coords: fh0 aa0

24/11/2012 21:45 {*FTF*} This one is rather close to my wife's work and as I was out to go pick up after her shift I thought I would get this on the way. I was a little concerned about this cache but figured there can only be so many places it would be. It was only drizzling slightly at GZ so I went for a look-see. It was taking longer than I hoped and I was looking high and low when I heard a group of young men approaching. I figured they may have seen the flashlight but they just walked on and so I widened my search circle again. Finally at a likely location I managed to *just* spot it and took it back to the car to check. Yes its a clean log which surprised me!
As I was sitting in the car, stamping and signing, I had a searchlight flick into my face.
Yes it was the Police asking;
"Have you been shining a torch in to the trees?"
Of course I just fessed up and used the GCA caching "license" to explain it.
http://geocaching.com.au/my/licence.png
They took my details and were happy enough to leave with no further hassles.
If I had found it quicker then the chances are I would not have been entertaining the men in blue.

I re-checked the coordinates and I was about 34m from the calculated GZ. I checked the original figures twice and am sure that I calculated them correctly.This is probably another cache placed by smartphone alone. The GC cache listing guidelines are worth the read and this link is relevant here.
http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#coordinates
Coordinates can also be checked via Google maps in satellite view.

Anyway, here is where I found it (using the same method as in the listing);
I found it here -> S 37° 4i.fgi E 145° 00.A0H

P.S. I was 7 minutes late picking up the wife.
