Cache in need of attention and cache owner no longer active.

### **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.

Small parking but fun to find a new park for us!
 
28-Feb-16
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.

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 Cool

[red]Find #3161 Traditional #2484 [/red] Big Grin

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.

15-Nov-15
[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!

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.

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
