As there has been no response to the last request/s to attend to this cache, I have no option but to archive this listing on the basis 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.

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 and Cache Name**) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will 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.

### **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.

We tried to find it so we could brag to jasper the wolf but no luck unfortunately !!!

Tazzathehound are disappointed we did not find Cache this time - we saw that our cousins also did not find it - owner pls sort out why this is so (maybe moved, stolen, vandalised???) Tazzathehound

Looked for a long time but could not find.

Given construction at GZ and previous photos posted on logs there is a very good chance that the cache is gone. No luck for me today.

Yet another DNF

Need to verify that it is still there

No luck.

Couldn't find this case. Near a construction site.

Was it supposed to be in the whole?

Looked for a fair while, but no luck. Given the nearby construction, maybe the owner needs to check?

After a fairly hectic weekend I couldn't convince any of the family to come out with me so I decided to venture out on my own. After the heat of late it was nice to have a cooler day for my walk.
I noted from previous finders logs that the coordinates are off so I searched a wide area for quite some time with no luck. I note that the house that backed up to the GZ has been demolished and is now a building site with a temporary fence.
It might be worthwhile if the CO can check this one.

The gps was a bit off but one of the photos helped me, nicely hidden!

Nice quick find, tftc

Found this one open with some of the logs nibbled by snails. Tidied up as much as possible. Added some treasure. Tftc

Yay!

A quick find this morning to get the Welcome to 2016 souvenir. Am not 100% sure it is where it is meant to be a was in clear view. Have covered it but a check might be worthwhile

Had fun with this for the first time.

Such a cute little find! My little brother had so much fun finding this one!

Good location

Found it but beware coordinates a bit off had me looking in 2 different places close by but another cachers comment helped me locate

Easy finf Thank you

Sisters first geocache! Fun little find

Good find!

Found it. Nice day to be out

Found it!

Quick find with Matteo. We left a Dinosaur!

Luckily I'm hunting with the geoBoyfriend because he looks where I'm to shy too

found with geogf...dont get fenced in

Found after searching for longer than it should had taken. The GPS was extremely inaccurate and GZ kept on moving. In the end the we chanced upon the cache which was larger than expected and was quite obvious when looking in the general vicinity. The actual location was a way off where the GPS was directing us. Fortunately there was no muggle activity.

Nice quick find

While in the area, I had a bit of a look around for this one but I didn't see what I needed to see.
It's been a little while since it has been found so I was wondering if it is still there.

Nice easy one. Thanks!

2nd find for the day! Woo hoo! This is fun!

Found it

This was a good find in a small park.

Nice and easy

Nice and easy

Nice easy find. TFTC

Excellent hide thanks a lot. No track able though - had hoped to find our first one. Well hidden but easy enough for beginners - a great confidence boost for us. Thanks so much!

I became familiar with this area almost 50 years ago when I had a girlfriend living nearby, It has not changed much. As the description suggests, it was an easy find. Thank you Big Beno for the opportunity to reminisce.

A quick one on the way home from work

Quick find thanks

Quick find on an evening out with O319

TFTC. Geo daughter and I found it,one thing, hi kizza-mermaid

Out today for a couple of hours and a few caches before I have to go back to work, found this one nice and quickly TFTC

Thanks the kids found this easily.
Re hidden

Picked up TB. tftc

I rode my bike with my Dad to find this one. Thank-you for putting it here and making it big enough for my first travel bug.

Found with rlc2 & omaster on a walk before lunch. Lovely weekend in Melbourne & nice t grab some caches with family we were visiting. TFTC

Found with Aerial_tennille and rlc2 on a nice little walk around the area before lunch. TFTC

My very first cache!

First find so close to home!

My first find! Took a bit of looking, but found it in the end!

Mmm pinecones, my favourite

Nice hide. A dog came out of no where but was friendly. Off to find another before dinner.

Stopped to make a quick grab this afternoon. GPS had me in the general area and after a quick search, the cache was found. Area was muggle free so quick sign and replace. TFTC!

There was a muggle in his underwear wandering around. He saw me and hightailed it back into a property that has a gate adjoining the park. Took the travel bug in case he goes looking after I'm gone. Am feeling greedy, as I just picked one up! Good hide too I had walked past it and was doing the turn about when I saw some white glinting through. Thanks.

#1743 - Found by B on a local wander around Ringy North. All part of the fun and challenges on our AroundOz bicycle challenge. Thanks to Big Bono for time and effort in placing and managing this cache.

Took a while!

Travelling with a bug!

Out doing some cache maintenance today with my 2 boys and found this cache.

Quick find and dropped of a TB that had been hidden in my caching bag.

Pine cone clue, no luck, gps going haywire near gz.
Will keep an eye on this one too see if others find it, we shall return....

We found this on the ground too.
Maybe mugglers?
I have put 'Purple Pete' near a pine tree

The GPS was a bit uncertain here, but after a short search around the likely looking spots I found the cache in good condition. TFTC

Found at 16:02
Out collecting a few caches in the area and this one was one the list. Nice and quiet today so we were able to make our way to gz without trouble. I made the find while the kids were being silly on the other side. The cache was a little damp but I was able to write on the log.
Thanks Big_Beno for the cache.

Wow... Took some searching... Pine cones are important

A park where I walk my dogs but neglected to check for a cache before. Nice little find, thanks!

I'm sure I've found this one in the past, but never logged it, so I went and found it again, and have logged it this time!!

Merry Christmas. Found with frmen1. Gps had us going around in circles. Found 6m from gz. TFTC

Found with tassie expat. Trees had a bit of effect on ph gps but found after short look. Tftc

TFTC and the afternoon stroll

#1733 At first glance at GZ I thought this could take a while but the cache was partly visible so it didn't take long. Thanks Big_Beno.

Found at night with atsmug and jamesbarden22

Walked around in circles here, but not found until some closer looking by torchlight. TFTC

Took us a while, but actually wasn't that hard after all

Tftc

out with romp62 to grab a few caches we had just arrived at GZ when we heard voices and feared we would be muggled. Standing back while the stranger approached it soon became clear that they were looking for something and it turned out they were looking for the same thing as us. After a longer search than it needed to be the younger eyes taught us older eyes a thing or two and the cache was found. Thanks Big Beno for the cache.

Out with Nanton34. We pulled up to this reserve and made the short walk over to GZ. Started searching around the likely areas when we heard voices coming from behind us. Turned to see it was some fellow geocachers who quickly joined us in the hunt. After quite a lot of searching around the cache was eventually found! Good hide! Nice to see some young kids getting involved and enjoying the hunt! TFTC

Nice easy find. Tftc

Out with CamBendy and my little bro since there were too few of us for poker. This was no. 1 for the night and should not have taken do long but we just didn't look where it was.

Thanks Big Beno.

Found Sat, 20 September 2014 @ 8:12 PM
Find #816

Short changed for men at the poker table tonight, so Physics Teacher, his brother and I hit the road to get a decent meal and find a good cache or two.

This was our first one for the night, and it took FAR too long for us to find. But find it we did.


Thanks to Big_Beno for the cache and the fun

I've been able to organize the weekends recently so that the kids are doing activities on a Sunday afternoon and I am able to get usually get about 3 hours of caching fitted in which I'm pretty happy about.
Today I headed over to Ringwood/Park Orchards area since I haven't been over here for a while and some of the caches are now some of my closest to home.
I managed 13 finds today with no DNF's, although I did spent a couple of 15-20 minute searches at a couple of locations today.
****************************************
I did try to attempt this cache once but was unable to even search due to some muggles playing around fairly close to GZ. Today the whole park was deserted so after a slightly squishy walk across the grass I searched a fair few places before I found the well hidden container, signed the log and was on my way.
Thanks Big Beno for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

A nice empty reserve today, with some nice large old trees. It didn't take long and after checking in the second spot I tried, I came up trumps.
I took the trackable that was in the cache to continue on its journey.
Thanks to Big Beno for placing this cache.

Didn't find it~ cring~~~

Great day for a walk around a interesting park. TFTC

That one was so cool and I liked it
