### **MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###
I notice from recent log entries that this cache would seem to be in need of owner intervention as there are one or more comments in regard to the state of the cache log. It leads one to the contention that the cache container is no longer weather proof. 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.
A basic tenet of geocaching is that **the cache log needs to be signed to record a find,** see here: [Logging of All Physical Geocaches](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#logging). At the moment this would seem to be extremely difficult if not impossible to meet that requirement in regard to this cache.
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 **12th September** 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.

I keep missing my chance to get this one, today was the day! As mentioned earlier the log is a bit soggy
Nice day for a walk around the lake. Everything is soaked, couldn't leave our names but good find
Spent a short time searching with GPS jumping all over the place, but had no luck. There was so much rubbish scattered about. Will try again when back in the area. Thanks anyway.
Nice evening at the reserve. We were impressed with the oldest date in the book- the oldest cache we've found so far!
On my business trip to Melbourne I used the time after work to make a quick visit at Kwikwak:2.
Thanks for showing this nice place.

Woohooo!!! Found my first geocache!! This park is right next to my house! Looking forward to more finds
This was an easy found as it was not camouflaged anymore just laying on the ground. It is now dry again inside but must have been very wet during some time. Hopefully the nice lion I left in the box don't get wet. TFTC

We stopped in here on the way home from a day out. It was late in the afternoon and the next door car park was empty. The geo daughter and I made our way to this cache and it was nice to see some ducks enjoying the water near by. A few moments before we located this cache hide. Stamped returned as found.
[blue]Thanks for this trad cache, Nutcache. [^]
Log and container in good condition.

Dad found this one and made me retrieve it which resulted in me getting attacked by a few trees and some sword grass but it was well worth it! I also left a friendly surprise in there for the next cacher
Found this last night while out with someone from the mega who has come all the way from America. TFTC
[violet]I'm currently hitchhiking my way around the world and geocaching everywhere I go. My first stop was in Ireland where I spent a couple weeks touring the country. I then flew to London and spent a couple weeks touring the United Kingdom. From there I made my way through the tunnel and up to Amsterdam and then back down to Belgium. After that I headed for France. Then from there I headed to Portugal for a mega event that was happening. After that I headed for Denmark to attend another Mega event. I then made my way North into Sweden and then even further North to Norway. After that I proceeded to work my way back down South through Finland and then ferry hopped my way through a few of the islands to arrive back in Sweden. Next I made my way to Germany for another Mega event and then back to the Netherlands for still another mega event before heading for Luxembourg. After that the next stop along my journey was Switzerland. I then made a quick detour up to Belgium to grab a July 2000 geocache I had overlooked before making my way to Croatia passing through Austria and Slovenia along the way. After that my route took me East to Serbia and then through Romania into Moldova. I then couldn't resist going North and crossing into the Ukraine. After that I began heading South passing through Romania once again. I then passed through Bulgaria as I raced for Turkey in order to catch a flight to Australia timing it so that I could attend a mega event happening there. I then spent several days traveling around the Melbourne area grabbing geocaches that would fill out some of the remaining gaps I had towards achieving quadruple jasmer.
Thank you so much for placing this geocache!

After a rather convoluted way of getting close to getting. We finally found it. Thanks. So sunny today.
I used to live fairly close to here, in Dorset Rd, but I never knew this lovely little bit of wetlands existed. A nice quick find and time to look at some of the bird life. Thanks Nutcache I think it deserves a favourite from me.
After driving past the parking spot 3 times, i had the cache in hand quickly. Frogs, thanks for the company.

Lucky not to fall over on the way to this one - the ground was pretty slippery. A quick find at GZ - TFTC !

The gps was absolutely useless today, but after searching the usual places for a few minutes I made the find. I drive past this park almost every day and have wondered what was behind the earth bank. Thanks to nutcache,now I know. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.
Suscoe was wandering the streets of this area of Melbourne today.
A little cloud, a little sun and a lot of fun.
This was our 3rd find of the day.
A nice walk to Z.
Cache was uncovered.

There's a newish car park that is the perfect place to stop and retrieve this cache. I too have driven past a million times and never knew this reserve was here. We completed the puzzle last year so it was nice to have now completed the all the remaining caches in the series.
Another day with my car in the mechanics. So out riding around this area. All of the caches i found today i have seen and thought about many times. Always in my car racing by. It was great to slow down and check out these locations. Cheers for all the hides.
Found Today At 16:00 Nobody Around, Wet Inside. Didn't log as I forgot a pen. Easy find but still lots of fun. Sat on a nearby seat for a while and enjoyed the area. TFTC.
Sando23468 and I were on our way home after a quick check on Chaucers Canterbury Tales nearby and thought this looked like s nice quick stop to stretch our legs. A nice little park with s great hide. The cache is quite wet from condensation. I poured out the excess moisture. Log book very wet but signable. Cache could do with a dry out and maybe a snap lock bag for the log, sadly I didn't have any snap lock bags with me today. TFTC
Found it, a bit to easy unfortunately, cache was out in the open and the contents was wet, managed to sign the log and dry it out a little, have returned it to its stated GZ and camouflaged it a bit better hopefully it will stay hidden, great little reserve, have driven past a zillion times and never new it was here....TFTC
Found it. Very easy to find. Çovered up some more. No water in it. log book wet but still usable at this stage.
3rd find for the day. Cache had about a cm of water in it. Log book still usable - just. Passed this location numerous times over the years. Had time to finally make the dash (without my cycling muggle friends).
Nightcacheing find! Thank god it hasn't rained to recently. Found with denial_! TFTC!
Passing through the area, we paid a quick visit. This is one of several sistema containers we found during our trip that were soaking wet inside - how can this happen? Drained container and signed very wet log.
