Pathway Through Suburbia Nunawading, Victoria, Australia
By RvBHunter on 02-Jul-13. Waypoint GC4FCZ6

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.

Been to check up on the cache, and it appears that someone has taken it or moved It somewhere were I cannot find. Because of this and due to the ground zero deteriorating badly since the cache was placed, this cache is being disabled.

Came here to have another look for this cache, was thwarted again, but as it is only 400 metres from sons home, I will be back till I find it, or it finds me
, My GPS putting it at back fences up top, but previous logs put it much lower down slippery slope

Last stop after a succesful morning of caching with Se No Find, we walked along the path and got to the GZ area pretty easily but searching proved difficult.
There are a lot of hazards and the coordinates indicate that the cache is up on the fence line of the properties abutting the park, it is not up there, don't go up there unless you want to end up with a sprained ankle like Mr Se No Find who slipped on the way down the hill.
Eventually we located the cache no more than a third the way up the hill and were able to sign the log which was in pretty good shape considering the sistema is full of mud, which is no surprise given where it is tucked away.

Didn't quite get to GZ without injury. Neighbour has tossed rose bush clippings over the fence, and area is very slippery. I'd consider disabling it until CO can satisfy themselves it is safe. NOT for the kids...

DNF. After searching for a while I slipped due to my poor footware and cut my hand on an old piece of glass. Took it as a sign and quickly moved on.

Slippery as!!!

Not quite an easy find for us because of muddy ground better in dry weather TFTC

Suscoe was out and about in this area today.
It was a cool and overcast day with low cloud and the occasional drizzle patch here and there.
This was our 6th find of the day.
We were not sure what would be here but a very quick find with good co-ords brought a smile to our collective dial.
It is pretty wet inside and out.
Drained the mud and signed the log.
Thanks to RVBHunter for a clever little hide,

The cache is very wet inside.
Given the nature of the hide we were not surprised.
The CO needs to deliver some much needed TLC.

searched for 45 mins area was very slippery after rain and has been lots of shrub rubbish dumped around area, may need to be maintained

Found on our second visit. The GPS had been unstable and we had looked in the right spot but had failed to find the container. The terrain was a little difficult especially as the ground was a little wet and slippery. I found the general location very depressing and potentially a little dangerous with broken bricks, broken glass bottles etc. Clues in previous logs helped to refocus the search and the second attempt actually resulting in finding the cache fairly quickly. Not one on our favourite finds!

Found @15:48 #4318
Well this took awhile to find. Was first up high then low and then to the left then the right... Then read some logs and some helpful images was enough for me to search one spot I'll already checked but more deeply and bingo cache in hand at last. Surprisingly the log was dry enough to sign, a surprise as it was covered in mud. Not the prettiest place to hide a cache but please I eventually found it.

Need to tick of today but also do a little caching on my birthday. We were out and about looking for my pressies. On the way home now. Geoboy and I went for this and trekked to high. Bt used our research nouse and found it lower. I get a little concerned with caches that are in area where a clean up is needed as well. Cache container is still wet but the little one inside is definitely helping the situation. Took TB as it is was soaked and had wet paper. TFTC

I was in Melbourne for work so I thought I would find a cache or two that would help fill in my missing LGA places.

It was a quick find. I signed the log and replaced the cache.

Dropped of a TB "Canada to Australia TB Race - C&S #1" so it can get to Geelong

'Scrat' visited your cache whilst on his Great Aussie Adventure.

Found it! I had looked for this cache ages ago and did not find it! Today in daylight, I stood back and survey the slope and spotted a likely hiding spot. And there it was! There was not need to walk all the way up the slope! I did some cache maintenance by replacing the log book and added an extra container to help keep it dry. TFTC SL

88andy88 and I took my muggle son on a caching adventure this afternoon. Found this cache in much need of maintenance. Totally drowned log. Cannot sign. Photo as proof.

Totally waterlogged, soggy mess. Needs new log. Needs new container.

This one was found quite a way off the co-ords but was so wet OzHockeyChick took a pic of it to proove our log of the cache that was impossible to sign.

Found it! Half way up the hill. In serious need of maintenance! Found with benr33. TFTC

TFTC

FTF. Not sure if we just couldn't find it or if it's gone. Used all clues read all logs looked at photos

Looked everywhere & couldn't find it

Visited this cache on my way through to Ringwood. My GPSr had me right up the top of the hill and searching for awhile before I noticed the terrain rating. Came back down, read some logs and eventually stumbled upon the cache.

As others have noted, logbook is drenched and needs maintenance. I did attempt a temporary fix but was unable to locate a tap, despite visiting the nearby scout hall.

TFTC!

Log couldn't be signed due to being extremely wet, but very good spot

TFTC, very wet, wasn't able to sign log, needs maintenance and probably moved to a drier location, someone's grey water drains straight over the top of it, lots of broken glass around so be careful, found with Benny d

tftc. (-:

Found by TZL & co. Nice one!

Found it but the log is too wet to write on

TFTC

Found at 11:39 AM GAFF3. The GPSr took us right to the top against the fence, but then looking at the Terrain rating, it appeared that we did not have to be there. So down we go and we start looking in the big ditch, but nothing and then we spot a small one just near the path and there it is! As mentioned a few times in logs - the contents are stuffed as someone didn't close the lid properly (probably left a corner of the snap lock bag out, or didn't actually snap the clips shut), however we were still able to sign the log - don't know how others can't do the same (their logs should be deleted btw )
When we replaced the container we put it to the side of the hole on its side, so that it won't get the rush of water that must come out from here.
There are so many of these parks around these suburbs - you just don't realise!
Thanks RvBHunter.

Found it,but we couldn't sign the log because it was soo wet

This was an interesting little pathway through suburbia. Locating the container in its hiding spot, I opened it up and as per previous Needs Maintenance logs it is a sopping mess. I took a photo anyway.

Roughspot. Soaked

Found but to wet to write in tftc

Log is wet. TFTC

Found it

Was a quick find after a Saturday morning Coffee-O, enjoyed both events. TFTC.

Very muddy had black spider on it had glove luckily

Found, but in a very poor state.
Very wet!
The walk in was very nice though.
Tftc

Final cache for me today, in the company of quiet1_au. Q had found it before, and helped with the find. The log was soaking wet, so the only thing I could do was to edge an "L" onto the front page. TFTC

Found @ 1805hrs.
GPSr had me wandering all over the place,eventually found the cache some 5m from where the GPSr took me.I was not able to sign the log because of its saturated condition,it certainly needs attention.Thanks for the hide RvBHunter.

Found @ 8:31pm, find # 3720.

I had dropped the car off for a service and had a couple of hours to fill in, so I headed off on an 8 km walk and found a couple of caches along the way, this was one of them.
I headed along the pathway and across to GZ, I had a bit of a look around and the cache was found.
I opened it up and found it was full of water, I tipped it out and opened up the very wet logbook and signed it in there somewhere and then put it all back where it was.

This is certainly not a good place to hide a cache as soon as it rains, all the water is going to run down the hill which is like a water course and onto and around the cache container, no wonder it fills with water.

Thanks anyway to RvBHunter for placing this cache.

Waterlogged so bad didn't wanna sign log and muddy
DNSL

Didn't sign log....cache filled with mud. Needs attention.

Tftc! Wet wet wet...

Cache needs it's seals checked and a new log book.

I had come over this way to place another cache in an extended series I am working on...and decided to find a cache or four while I was here. This was my first stop and a relatively quick find. As previously reported, the log book was saturated and all I could manage was to scratch my name in the mush. Didn't bother putting the log book back in the Zip bag...it was wetter in the bag than it was in the cache.

Thanks RvBHunter for the cache...some maintenance is desperately needed.

This is a nice path - I know because there were muggles standing on the path right near GZ, so I kept on walking. I waited a few minutes but when I came back they were still there, and certainly didn't look like cachers.

I went off to look for a couple of other caches and when I came back about a half hour later they were gone. The cache was then a quick find but had water in it and the logbook was thoroughly soaked.

What a horrible place for a cache. Glad I read the logs, didn't slip or cut myself, found it and got out of there. Done

Found after a bit of looking, good spot, but watch your step

Third for the day. Having lots of fun.

After a nice bum fall I found it. TFTC

Thanks

Quick find tonight tftc

No find

Date:16/8/14
Time: 4:27

This one was a bit of an adventure, I should have read the logs before heading here! GPS wasn't playing nice and I headed up the slope at the wrong spot - cautious of the mud underfoot - but not cautious enough. I ended up sliding all the way back down the slope on hands and knees, desperately grabbing for any neaby bit of foliage. Now with shoes, jeans, GPS and caching bag covered in mud I continued my search (who said cachers are crazy). Headed further along this time before making my ascent. After lots of false GPS readings I laid my hands on the leaky cache (luckily log book is still dry, I dried inside of container with Maccers serviette, signed log, returned cache to hiding spot). Retrieved muddy dog. Headed home to do a load of washing. One hard earned smiley. One best done I dry weather TFTC.

Found it! Quite challenging, quite dangerous with broken glass and rubbish everywhere. Well hidden, felt a bit awkward putting my hand in to get it... Hint - it's not all the way up the top. Glad we found it.

Second time trying to find it... Told my friend it was hard...
He found it instantly

Found it, well hidden but still an easy find. No trackables inside though as indicated.

tftc. sl

Found today while out and about with the Geopartner and the Geodog. Thanks for the cache RvBHunter.

Got nice

Nice

Found it!

Found it

I came back and I found it!!

I couldn't find it

This cache had been in my local area map for ages but never had the chance to get it, but decided today was the day. While searching one spot I sighted the container about 2 metres away. Log signed. Tftc

An easy find, although as others have mentioned the slope is strewn with broken glass, etc so watch your step. No trackables inside the cache though :-\

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

I have to admit this is not one of my favorites. Plenty of rubbish about and holes to step in. My gps didn't do me any favors either putting me in a spot with an embedded pen but no cache.

Overall a bit frustrating.

Thanks anyway.

Nice track and good cache on inclined hill that's one more good find for the father and daughter team

Found it

Good one
Be careful with kids, there's a few broken bottles around

tftc

Great hiding place, Clever position. TFTC

Probably a bit too dark. Steep hill scared me off!

Ugh. Couldn't find it and I had my dog and there was broken glass and rubbish everywhere so didn't want to take him in there! Maybe next time

Great find! Almost gave up but went more to the left and found it!

Took a little longer than it should have with the GPS sending us all over the place. Eventually found it. Such a lovely little part of the world in the middle of suburbia. TFTC!

Luckily came at it from the right side. A nice quick find in this narrow trail. TFTC

GPS coordinates had the drop bear cache crew looking up going what the hell, and then climbing all over the place. But eventually found it after a not too long search.

Found it. The coordinates say its up the top, but they're wrong

Easy find but nice

TFTC!

Easy and quick find. Took TB.

Tftc!

Found 14:05, after a brief search. I have no idea how I missed this one last time [B)] after today's easy find.

TNLN, thanks RvBHunter.

Lots of spots here but I spotted something a little odd.

Nothing to worry about - the cache is still here! Popped by en route to go grab some groceries (ok, it was a bit of a detour but worth it) and after a little stroll down this secret little path, so close to the crazy busy-ness of Springvale Rd, quickly located the cache.

I do love these fascinating spots, known only to the locals. One of the best aspects of geocaching is indeed showing these off.

Took TB.

TFTC RvBHunter.

Not Found Give it a check, it might not be there anymore...

Sadly, I didn't find it. Its my first time Geocaching though.
May need maintenance because the area is covered in some spiny plants.

Very good cache

We found this cache today at 1:50pm as #3 of 27 on our Tour de Pines Afternoon. It's amazing how many of these secret garden pathways exist around Melbourne. Thanks from D & H B-A.

.... and dropping off a TB

Found it haha very fun times
