### 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 water 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 ** 6th May** 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.

Sorry don't have time to get to this one any more

Sorry don't have time to get to this one any more

Cache has been water-logged. Log book totally saturated, needs replacing.

Found this one with the clues provided. Unfortunately the log book is saturated so no way to sign. Needs a bit of maintenance here.

After some quick and easy calculations to find the cache coordinates, it was very quickly spotted out in the open and upside down, waterlogged. unable to sign despite trying due to the paper being too wet and all the pages stuck together. Returned cache to a more concealed location. Maintenance needed on this one.

Found it

Found it amongst the brambles, looks like a tree has recently Fallen nearby. But we still managed to find it, tftc karbs

Fun but hard equations to solve!

Maths isn't my strong suit but I managed to solve this one and track it down pretty quickly. Nice little park here but eerily quiet on a sunny Saturday late afternoon. This cache ticked off the "Multi" requirement for my 12 cache types in a day. TFTC!

Good area for the geokids to play around while we did the maths and tracked down GZ. There were lots of flies about today - better than mossies though!
Thanks for the cache RedPaw64.

2/10/2015, Found @ 10:48 AM Find # 4697.

Today I made the trip around the bay so that I could explore the Point Lonsdale / Queenscliff area and find a cache or two.
From being up high at the lookout, I made my way back down and across the road to give this one a go.
I was able to work my way through the math without any problems and I soon had my final coordinates, so off I headed. Once there it was only a short search before the cache was located.

Thanks to RedPaw64 for placing this cache.

Mother nature treated us kindly today. After a wander to Point Lonsdale, we headed into the heart of Queenscliff for a little look. There were so many people around which made caching difficult. Thankfully no one took notice of a weird looking lady sitting on the seat counting steps. Thanks for the cache.

Oh gosh started think we had our maths all wrong. Trusted the Gps and geokid saved the day.

Finally, after several attempts I seemed help from a fellow cacher. A step is buried and very miss leading. But after all found it. Left a trackable

Yay! A useful place for the GeoKids. Assigned the collection of details to them while AutumnTree, AutumnCS and I enjoyed hot jam donuts and coffee. Sent them off with the compass/phone with no success. Once the grown-ups got involved we laid our hands on the cache in quick time. TFTC!

Another one with Moggiedot and autumntree.tftc

Out with Autumncs and maggiedot and far to many geokids today. Stopped here for a pizza lunch and sent the older kids off with the phone to find it. They had no luck so we went over to look. Maggiedot called out from the shrubbery that she found it. Nice spot to let the kids play while slightly sheltered from the cold wind. TFTC.

We got the info needed to work out coordinates but we did not find this cache today, we will be back another day.

☺
Gave up but as we were walking away. There it was.

Tough one with lots of rubbish in the area and lots of growth. Makes the find that much better.

Found with OutRangerous on a cold and windy day. Luckily OutRangerous is not mathematically challenged like me so soon had the cache in hand. TFTC

first cache of this type for me. after grumbling about trying to read the equations on the small screen gps we had it worked out and traipsed through the trees to the cache. fun trying to not to look suspicious hanging around playground and bushes with muggles about.

We decided to finish all the caches down here on this cold windy winters day so not to have to worry about locals and the mobs of holiday makers.
Lucky we had the park to ourselves today so we were able to do our counting without appearing weird.
With our maths all sorted we were heading for GZ very quickly and had the cache in hand.
Thanks RedPaw64 for the multi.

Found this one at night with Ohm3 after a few calculations and stroll the was in hand ! TFTC!

On a night mission I tackled this one with Duffmmm. Collected required data at WP1 and retreated back to the warmth of the car to do all the math for GZ. We got the correct result first time, having the cache in hand fairly quickly.TFTC

Can you give some hints as to where this cache is. I've attempted 4 times no luck

During school holidays, an early morning foray seemed a good time to tackle this one. Place deserted, so counted, calculated, looked, recounted, all ok there, there recalculated, new numbers which led me straight to the treasure TFTC RedPaw64

Been 5 times not there. Disappointed after going over the numbers and revisiting the same GZ Nothing is there.

Not there. Quite disappointed. Looked for a good hour and nothing was there, take it down and quit wasting people time!

Good Fun

S&S 4/4/15 We enjoyed the challenge after reworking our numbers we finally had success. Thanks

FINALLY 3rd time lucky!!! Sophie & Sandy HARD, SPIKEY but SUCCESSFUL 4/4/15

have been here 5 years ago -kids had a good play. Thanks for the cache...

Found the Cache with some friends
Great fun TFTC

First time solving a puzzle.. Found it eventually

New Year's Day.... Tough but satisfying!

Where is it ???

Solved the puzzle and
a brief look in the wrong location, but the cache was soon in hand.
TFTH

Beautiful day to not be at work and on the coast. Geodog helped me hover by playground without looking like a creep. Fumbled for a while at GZ then followed the hint and there it was.
Love these little multis that have you amongst the shaded little foliage caves. Tftc today - great local spot.

I'm not the biggest fan of multis, but I was at a nearby cache so I thought why not !! Luckily I did attempt this one. It was very straightforward , easy to follow multi. Plus being a weekday we weren't dodging any kids. Got our final co-ords and soon had the cache in hand. Thanks for the hunt and TFTC RedPaw64.

Solved the puzzle easy. Looked in all the wrong places until geo dad stumbled upon it.

After searching around toilet block, GPS decided to work properly and off we went. Found by geo dad after a bit of a search

Took two visits but we finally got a find here. Collected the info and did some calculations last week but when GZ appeared to be in a nearby backyard I guessed I had mucked up. I had another go at the calcs and found my mistake so we returned today for a quick find between showers. We found the cache amoung piles of hail melting in the grass. TFTC RedPaw64

Was out and about again tonight to grab some more smileys with Alchey. Much safer to do at night away from unwanted attention

Thanks RedPaw64 for the cache

Log signed & replaced. TFTC & smiley face

Find #610

Well hidden. Need a good gps app, as instructions are helpful once u r in the right spot. Didn't take anything.

Thought this would be a quick in and out, not.
Arrived at coordinates did my Maths then headed off to the wrong spot to an area Bear Grylls would've had trouble in, but there was a path of sorts.
Returned to park to check numbers and calculations and yes i had missed an important step.
With fresh coordinates the GZ was quickly found.
Thanks for the Cache

Nicely placed cache , pretty sure only a cacher would find it, even with the well established cacher trail I doubt a muggle would get it . Cache is low on items so took nothing and added a glass stone . Tftc

As we were in the vicinity, we decided to look for this park. It was a suprise to see what was in behind the trees. A few calculations and we had the cache in hand. Thank you for showing us this part of Pt Lonsdale and thank you for the cache.

TFTC good thing I was with OhDang! As my navigation was ALL over lol Great Park with lots of doggies playing fetch!

Looked high and low but alas, without a reliable gps I was beaten by the huge variety of possible hiding places.

My second find for the day, out to find the three remaining caches in this part of the world which I hadn't yet discovered. Every year we come to stay in Queenscliff and every year I figure I'll get to this cache. I finally realised that it really isn't going to happen, so today was the day. I parked near GZ just as the Tuesday tennis ladies were about to finish up then wandered over and took a seat to do
calculations.
I'm pleased to say that on this occasion I got them right the first time - which has not always been the case with a RedPaw64 cache. With my final destination in the GPSr, I headed off for the short walk to GZ and made a quick find, signed and replaced.
Thanks RedPaw64 for bringing me to this place which I haven't visited before !

Nice cache good little park t4tc!

Found with jesstu666 & S.Piddy. TFTC.

Nice easy find and the slide was fun found with jesstu666 and purplemonkey17 tftc

Found it on a third attempt. Should have relied on the trusty GPS.

Got here early this morning solved the co ords for gz turned the corner only to find a 50 person yoga class
Aaaaahhhh

Must come back

Boys loved the park.
I loved the Maths.
And we all loved finding the cache using our gps

Couldn't find after a long look. Fairly confident our calcualtions are right as they match up with the hint. Will monitor this one over the next few weeks to see how others go.

We are two Swedish cachers on vaction in Australia. We landed in Melbourne on the 17 of December and had spent some days in Frankstone and now we were on our way to Great Ocean Road and decided to take the ferry to Queenscliff.

After have landed in Queenscliff we had some aches that we wanted to log. As we had no muliti-caches in Australia we had decided to get one or two. For this one the tasks was solved and after had calculated the position for the final we went there.

Cache was found and logged.

Thanks for the cache and greetings from Sweden.

TFTC. Field position log. Full log to follow.

Information obtained quickly by virtue of having 5 YO grandson who loves treasure hunting.
Not to many treasures to swap, but nice find anyway. We left something in the cache to seed it, but I can't remember what. TFTC

Just collected the caches at the point so decided to finish of the ones in town with this one. Easy find after I put together the coords.

There were a few games taking place this morning but fortunately the numbers were able to be found at a distance. Nice having a quiet spot away from prying eyes for GZ. TNLN TFTC

Another redpaw64 hide that bogonghazy and I bombed on this weekend. Not quite sure why, but will return again another day and start again.

Kept thinking maths was wrong! Tftc!

Find # 2958

Well, on the road again with my regular caching partner in crime SedgwickDave on our normal weekend caching run. This week we decided to head to Geelong and then on to Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale. The weather was looking cool, but rain free, so we headed off at about 8AM.

After quickly gathering the numbers, I made my way to GZ where after one false start, the cache was located nicely tucked away.

Thanks to RedPaw64 for the cache. TNLN

On a rainy day I worked up the courage to tackle a kid's playground on my own.
Easily gathered the co-ords at WP1, and headed to GZ for a luckily quick find in the rain.
TFTC, RedPaw.

went out this way on a glum afternoon but the weather held out for us and we solved the puzzle had a play at the playground (despite us all being between the ages of 17 and 25) and then went in search of the cache.
good hide

the cache was rather bare, hidden better now.

TFTC

Great day for this cache down this way, whether was holding out for us.

Tftc

Tnln

A nice cache in a great location. Another one that leads us to places that we never knew existed. Co-ords spot on for an easy find in the end. TFTC

Found it! TFTC, Bowdeckas and Coco Karma!

A really neat games park I didn't know existed in Point Lonsdale despite being in town for a wide variety of reason over the years. Had the co-ordinates worked out and then off for a short walk to GZ. Looked around for a few minutes without success then it dawned on me to check the hint. Easy after that! SL & TFTC Redpaw64.

Found this one in the evening in failing light and rain. should have taken a torch! After working out the co-ords it was not long before we had the cache in hand. A nice hide. tftc.

TFTC

A nice easy multi! tftc

Found on a day / night caching trip to secure our 500th, with Ogrebeast and Hoon1. A nice little multi, and an easy find. TFTC..

nice little multi that works co-ords are spot on soon had cache in hand TFTC

Great cache, took some first timers along and found a golf ball that we then left in the cache, thanks again

We were sure we'd done this one years ago, but we hadn't logged it and there was no entry in the notebook at the cache. Maybe we couldn't find it at the time. Anyway, we can cross it off the list now. TFTC

Wp1 was found quickly with the mathematician in geoson. At GZ cache was found in the first place geoson looked. TFTC Took Rolly

I grabbed this as one of about 40 in a nice weekend down on the coast.. It was the last weekend before I started back at work. I was keen to cache, and was encouraged down this way by the chance to Orienteer, Body Board and Cache.. I ended up also staying the night, although the original plan of attending an event at Ballan didn't eventuate.. Had a great weekend, thanks to the various cache owners for your part in a great weekend..

Jim and Josiey me a floor/ crash space for the night (thanks heaps) this was the first cache for the day before caching some higher favorite'd caches in and around Geelong..

I sat by the park and calculated this one under the suspicious eye of some muggle parents.. I was soon walking out of sight to add my name to the log.. I guessed right on the the correct angle of attack on this one.. Thanks Red Paws 64 for the hide. Find #3378

Was fun to find. TFTC RedPaw64.

Thanks to the burns brigade we found this one! Many eyes make less work! Dropped Rolly who has travelled all the way from WA!

A day out from the other side of Melbourne, we decided to do a few caches in the Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale area. Geo wife d the and Geokids quickly worked out the coords. and the cache was spotted nearby. quick find. nice park. TFTC RedPaw64

found @1452
Solved the puzzle easily, then used the puppy to divert suspicion while retrieving the cache.

Another multi that works. Today must be my lucky day. Quickly gained the necessary info and walked to GZ to sign the log.
TFTC RedPaw64

Rampant vegetation pretty much mandates use of hint. Found cache dry and secure.

I played tennis here as a kid, now my kids enjoyed the playground while we put the numbers together. Thanks Redpaw.

Awkwardly stood around for ten minutes waiting for a GPS signal, but htdj and I eventually got led right to it. TFTC

Lots of activity on the courts, with the playground deserted. Always handy having your own kids that can play around while you work out puzzles. Nice location. TFTC.

Had to do a lot of maths but found it in the end. Nice hide. TFTC.
