Description
Near the coordinates is Melville Bowling and Recreation Club, however the is a move to close the club and build a Wave Water Park in it's place. There has been many articles about it in the local paper for and against the park. It's an amazing area and I'm not sure where I stand. Take a stroll along the river, see what you think. Enjoy the cache, it might not be there forever...
Happy caching

Logs
Nice quick find, but the container was full of water, Poured out the contents and signed a very damp log. Have left the log out of the plastic bag in the hope it may begin to dry out a little.

Hm, it shouldn't have been that deep. Very well. I will leave it where you have placed it and will look towards some of my other caches to see if they need adjusting! 
As you are the owner it is up to you what you do about it but I stand by my decision to 'un-bury' the cache.
If a cache is placed on the ground and leaf type stuff or rocks in this case placed over it most would not consider it buried but as soon as you push a container into the ground and place sand on top of the cache it is buried and this cache was more than a couple of inches under the sand when found with no leaves or anything other than the sand over it. (Other caches of yours have been found the same way which might explain why they are hard to find by cachers not expecting caches to be buried!!)

I did not consider this cache 'buried'. Much like many moveables and other traditionals I have come across, they have been obscured by pine needles/leaves/other detritus at a greater depth than this cache was placed. Please do not move them to a position that suits you or your idea of the expectations of others. If other geocachers' consider this to be buried I will remove it due to consensus and best hiding guidelines.

Found with the family after not finding it yesterday.

Find with the family today after not finding it yesterday because it was well and truly buried. Caches are not supposed to be buried.

We tried to find this cache yesterday but couldn't. Having found it today we now know why.
I wish you would stop burying caches. It is not right.
To that end I have put the cache on the other side with rocks on top so others do not have to dig for it.

Cache has been checked, still where I left it. Top of the cache was uncovered so threw some leaves on it
