### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###
This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as one that may need attention. Perhaps it is time for the CO to check on this one please.
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.
Your prompt attention to logs that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers. It is generally accepted that 3 consecutive DNF's is reason enough to check, see here: [Owner is responsible for visits to the physical location,](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance )
Please respond to this situation by **6th June** 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.

Had a fairly good hunt round for this one, both at GZ and further away. No cache container found. Perhaps owner can check this one.
Hmm. Weren't covered and was kinda confused as to why there were two containers. No log book inside either. Maintenance will be needed 
Out with Cathlud for an afternoon of caching and procrastinating.
Arrived at the park to find that there was a mothers group at the playground. However, we were able to walk unnoticed to the GZ and quickly made the find. The mums were paying such little attention to us that one of their toddlers had followed us and was hiding behind the embankment. We looked in the parents direction, no one had noticed. As we headed back to let them know, he had legged it up to the top of the hill and was hiding behind the trees a good 200m from where they were. Luckily we were there to let them know as they hadn't even realised he was missing. TFTC.

Out with Jeckleberryandtedd today to find some more caches around Ringwood.
We arrived to find a mother's group enjoying the late afternoon in the park. Jeckleberry was unsure of how stealthy we could be but I was confident that we could get the cache without attracting their attention. At GZ I saw a spot of colour and was surprised to uncover two containers (like the previous finder). We sign the same one as him. On our way back to the car Jeckleberry informed the mother's group that they were missing a young member, who was enjoying a run at the far end of the park. TFTC

Found at 10:02
I still had a little free time so decided on one more cache. This want far away and turned out to be a nice find.
I found 2 containers in the hiding spot. I signed the log in the blue one.
Thanks Tomo134 for the cache.

Outside of cache a bit muddy. Inside is fine. Great little park. Something for everyone! TFTC
GPS was off a little for us. Searched around a little and eventually located. Found with Melro9. Tftc
Couldn't sign logs as we forgot a pen! This is our local park, we havent geocached for about a year so this was a nice surprise!
Another beautiful summer Sunday in Melbourne, the last for the season, so geo-son and I thought that we would make the most of the weather and grab a few caches.
Like previous finders I found both containers, and as I had time whilst the geo-son played on the nearby play equipment I took the time to sign both logs. A quick find. TFTC.

About time. Have been looking for this one about 5 times, with no luck. Found it this time l, though the GPS caused havoc. TFTC
Happy new year!! Quick find with two caches making up for the one I didn't get earlier.
Was out with the usual gang, Zedaycee and Tally Tiger when we came acriss these two little caches. Signed the most recent one and hid them together again.
Found it with Angelique_anja and Zedaycee. A happy day after our DNF just before. And a happy geocaching new year
With the festive season over and 2015 fast coming to an end, I was keen to grab a few caches to see out the year. I was in the area and swung by to grab this cache. As other caches have said, I found there were two caches both exposed. I opened both, signed the latest one, rehid both together and covered with some nearby camo. Interestingly the last log was dated in Sept so did make me wonder whether another logbook was hidden. Nevertheless the heat was getting unbearable so made a quick retreat to the car. TFTC!
Thanks again Tomo this one a bit easier than the last. Nice park good camo. Found with Jimmytherat. Funny that!
TFTC Tomo134. The GPS was all over the place but we found it in the end. Jimmytherat with Noelle04.
A quick and easy drive by to keep our streak running. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.
Found after a short search a muggle couple and kids near the playground that did not seem to be paying us any attention. We were a little surprised to find two camouflaged containers - but signed the logs and replaced.
Geo Girl was thrilled to be the first to find this one. Swapped pirate treasure for sparkly Pom poms. TFTC.
After attending a caching event in Eltham this morning, Spiffy- and I headed out for a day caching. Not much to search here but it still took a couple of minutes! Thanks for the cache.
So, there I was, vegetating at home, when Omegaman1971 asked if I'd found Totally Typical II. I had, but said that there were others in the area I'd had trouble with. He suggested we go out to find a couple. Well, that necessitated me actually getting off the couch, having a shower, and doing something constructive with my day 
But it was well worth the effort. After finding 'Big V, Little v', we headed on over to TT2 and TT4, then came to look for this one. We looked up and down for a while, but I finally found the cache(s). (We were a little surprised to find that there are actually two identical caches, each with its own log.) And I'm very pleased to have a smiley face instead of a DNF for this cache
Thanks for the cache, Tomo134!

Last find of the day with Queenk8.
Hope to get out again soon with Queenk8 and hit some more local caches.

Here is what I have learnt about winter: as much as I try to rug up in front of the heater at home, I am never as warm there as I am when out walking. Having spent all morning trying to get warm and trying to write a speech for Sunday, I decided to go out and collect some local geocaches and meditate on the similarities between people and geocaches
Tomo134 has put out a great series of caches around Ringwood, and I've been meaning to look for them for sometime, and today was the day! I parked in Jeffrey Drive, then walked along the Mullum Mullum Creek Trail to Croydon, then back through the streets and parks to the car. It was a lovely walk, seeing different coloured camellias, wattle boughs laden with bursting buds or blossoms, buttercups, and all the plants in the winter light.
Anyway, this was the first of two DNFs this afternoon. I left no stone unturned, twice! And there were a lot of them - stones, chunks of concrete, broken bricks and offcuts of wood - the detritus from a building project. But nothing turned out to be a cache. I stood back and looked up and down and along in both directions, to no avail. Thanks anyway, Tomo134

I've DNF'd here before, that time due to a closed park. It was open today, but a father/daughter muggle combination, with the daughter slowly learning to ride a bike right near GZ, meant I felt just like too much of a stalker to be hanging around GZ, so decided to move on and save it for another day.
Getting some fresh air and some local caches that has been replaced. Cute containers! Thanks.
Riding on from a previous cache, I reached this deserted park , luckily for me as the search took me a good 8-9 minutes in a spot I had overlooked earlier. Thanks for the placement , nice camo
Awesome camouflage on the cache - made it more exciting. Found this one at nighttime on our first night caching with the geokids. Found 2 matching caches but only filled in one log. Awesome find - had almost given up and then boom - found it. Was awesome!
Last one for the day for OZHockeyChick and I before i had to pick up the geocar from the mechanics, and we thought this would be easy , so we headed up the road from the last difficult one only to have trouble with this one...
SHEEEEZEEE.....
After looking and looking and looking and looking and looking and looking ........we found it in an easy spot......And we thought we would get better at this as experience was gained...lol.....
Nice Hide and tftc.

Looked high and scraped all over low. Couldn't see anywhere a small container could be hiding! Ggrrr! I am assuming it is not under the fence. No idea!
Arrived to find the entire park closed off for works. This cache needs to be disabled for the duration...
Had a good look for this one too. Based on previous comments it looks to be gone. Certainly not in any of the logical spots. Not that there are many places to hide.
There was a family in the playground over yonder, so I didn't want to hang around. After a quick look, I decided to try again another time. Thanks to Tomo134 for the hide.
Area is extremely barren as it looks to have been all cleared barring main trees. Not many hides about and all I checked were empty. Either the cammo is exceptional or it's not there. Will watch. Kems
On my way to work this morning I noticed I was very early. I pulled over beside this park thinking maybe there was a cache here. Had a look around and a dig but wasn't successful in finding anything. Perhaps I shall tackle this one again. Hopefully it hasn't been muggled.
Searched for some time here with no luck, I used a PAF as well, I think it may be missing. an the CO please check asap
We set off today to find a handful of caches in this area.
After a previous DNF we came here again and after a bit of digging around and a GPS that was 9m off we finally found it and placed a few goodies in this swag less cache. TFTC Tomo134.

I ordered some items on eBay nearby, and could pay $20 to have them posted, then wait a few days for them to arrive, or I could drive 1 hour, pick them up, and do some caching afterwards. No choice really. I had to scratch around with a stick for a little while before this one was found.
Thanks to Tomo134 for the cache.

Revisited this one today. I forget to log it on the 10th January so I made sure today by checking the log book. Still needed to recheck again for a while before I had it in hand. Lucky no one was playing nearby.
Thanks for the cache Tomo134

A quick dive out with the dog tonight for an hour to pick up a few caches that are not looking good on my map. TFTC.
It had us scratching for a while, and the kids had given up, but persistent mum kept looking for another minute and found it. Number 300! YAAY! TFTC
Found by Mary & David, in company with Alansee, Lochb and pprass (signed as ABMP), at 1136. After a short walk in from the road, Alansee quickly spotted something we'd missed, and there it was! Our thanks to Tomo134.
Found in the company of Maccamob, pprass, and Lochb on a most enjoyable day caching. We were commenting on how high the gras was as we approached and as the others went past something that I thought was a little suspicious, I made the find for once.
Found at 11:36 AM GAFF5 in the company of Alansee, lochb and maccamob. Went right past it [:o)] Gardeners haven't been here for a while it seems!
Thanks Tomo134.
Thanks Tomo134.
I found this cache today at 4:40pm as the 2nd of 2 on the way home from work. Co-ords took me a few metres past but I gradually worked my way back to it. Thanks from D B-A.
Nice little park. But I think it needs an Ant!!! The log is a little damp bit still able to be signed.
