Time to put this one to rest.

### **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 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.

Sad

lots of DNF'S before me, might be muggled

Came down with the kids. Spent some time searching, to no avail. Removed a fair amount of rubbish from the spot, but that didn't help uncover the cache.

Been here a couple of times now, still no smiley! noticed there's a few DNF's maybe it has been misplaced ;(

Is this one still hidden correctly ?

Sorry to add to the list of dnfs today, but this one has me beat. Lots of likely spots, but none of them it!

Nothing but rubbish

Nothing but rubbish

Geocaching my way around the area after having attended the Melbourne Mega.
Enjoying the scenery and variety of caches.

I looked for this one without success a couple of months ago but didn't log a DNF then because I didn't have time for a proper search. Today I returned for a better look with renewed hope after several recent finds, but gave up after about 20 minutes, again without success. I did find a cricket ball along the way, as well as an empty zip-lock bag which I'm hoping didn't belong to the cache. Thanks for the hunt anyway DAB!

So glad the gps was accurate to make this a quick find. I could have been there forever. Tftc.

GPS all over the place but still found it...

Boys loved looking carefully for this one. Muggles around but my boys are sneaky.

Found it with nick n Latham

Bushes were too much for me. Didn't find

Took Zingered, BeardedHill and myself a while to locate this one, but determined to find and not give up, we did! Woohoo! No better feeling than finding, signing and putting a smiley on the dot. TFTC!

Trekking with SmashedSpud and Zingered and found it! Out for a good late night/early morning caching session! Took quite a while to find! But good old Zingered ended up locating the cache! Logged and off to the next location TFTC!

Found while night caching with Smashedspud and BeardedHill.
My hands are little worse for wear as I lacked gloves but improvised with hoodie sleeves.
Thanks for the bushy cache.

Ps. Want to come back out and clean up the rubbish

Thank you for this cache, my first find in victoria. In geelong for a few days with national schools afl so wanted to search for a few caches around the grounds. To my chagrin, a couple of schoolboys were wagging school this morning and hanging out at the scout hall nearby. I walked past at 8.30am then 9.00am then 10am and finally just before we were due to head off at 11 iwatched the boys walkup toschool. Yeah!! Quickly located the container and signedthelog.

McKean Linear Cache # 2 was transferred from RedPaw64 to user DAB

Nice hide! Tftc

Two caches today (so far?) - two lots of overgrown bushes to contend with. Cache found after not too long a search. TFTC!

Thanks for the cache

Found it! Very well hidden!

took ages to find :/

After a long search finally found it.

Took forever for us to find this one. I had given up but autumncs had one last look and found it. Took travel bug and left a different travel bug.

Placed tb

Nice one to kick us off again. Tfth. No tb.

Oh yeah got it with our newest member. Well done Sattine!!

A few scratches, but I found it!

No TB.
TFTC!

Found while on holiday in Geelong.

Nice hide. Book damp though

Tftc!

Despite the impending rain and the random appearance of teenage muggles, I quickly nabbed this on on my lunch break, earning some huffy puffy points too. TNLN and thanks.

Lots of school aged juggles around as it was lunch time. Found the cache easily but unfortunately water had found it too. A very soggy logbook!

While waiting to meet up with a caching buddy I thought I'd grab this one but realising I would look out of place I decided to wait for them so could look more suited to the area.
Thanks for the cache RedPaw64

Found it. Full of water! Nice and easy though.

Cool find... No track able thou... Onto the next for the day

Got it, after a quick chat with a very friendly muggle and his dog

TFTC, found on a wet soggy morning, about to watch our daughter play against WA at the national junior basketball championships. Greetings from South oz!

Nice easy find tftc

We really should go with the kiss principle at times, this being one of there. We were looking for a micro and were quite suprised to find a 1lt container! Pays to read the description first! Thanks for bringing us here

Left a little lady big she is not a traveller but she is pretty. Thanks for the cache

TFTC. Finally found after two previous attempts. Damn muggles. Nice little sports club close by I used to play darts there lol.

Found this cache today on a major caching adventure to find 50 caches in 1 day that were all at least 1km apart from each other to meet the requirements for a NZ challenge cache that I am doing presently. This was one of the caches that I found and that helped me successfully reach that goal. Thanks a lot to dbelco, krankitkiwi and na'wal and all other cache owners for hiding the caches that helped me reach this goal. This was an easy find but there were muggles sitting nearby when I went to return the cache. I hope I choose an appropriate time to return it and they didn't see what I was doing. This was find number 43 for today. Signed log today but didn't swap anything.

Thanks for the cache RedPaw64.

Found it:-)

A nice easy one while waiting for the kids from school.
Cheers Found at 18:02

Nice easy find tftc

Nice easy find

Area deserted but evidence of the taggers and less desirable lowlifes noted. Cache was indeed in a position relevant to the hint. Quite visible but tucked back and "posted" a little further in to be less visible to muggles. TFTCSL

Found with bkj97. Kept watch but as it was Good Friday the area was devoid of muggles. T4TCSL

Good hiding spot. Found it!

Found it pretty easy

TFTC - although listed in inventory there was no trackables

my very first find with Captain DeJel

The Rebel and I took advantage of the school holidays and made our way back to Geelong today. After collected a few caches in Melbourne we travelled south and bagged 60 caches for the day. Some tricky finds and some tricky puzzle solves too. Thanks to all the CO's for their efforts, we had a great day and night out! Round and round the mulberry bush!

Girls night

Found after about 30mins due to poor gps on iPad and in the dark, girls night in our animal onesies. Found near hidden sleeper eventually

Found this cache with the lid off and log book out of it, and looks like it has been seriously muggled, signed log and put all the bits back together , tftc

I nice warm place next a sleeper TFTC

Thanks good find

Found on the 2/3/14 with Wozzle68
TFTC

Visited with The Tritonz. TFTC

Quick easy park n grab. Only had muggle girl student wagging school having a smoke in front of the toilet block to contend with but soon quickly walked off on my arrival. Log signed & replaced. TFTC & smiley face also the TB is not in this cache

Can't believe this has been here so long!

Cricketers in the distance, one lonely jogger, then in for a quick find. TFTC

Hint helped! Thanks, quick park n grab!

Found with misschief 18 and Tilley TB on our way home on the day after a day of great events in Geelong.
TFTC

A short walk and an easy find. My kind of cache! Found with Kinkell1 and TilleyTB. Thanks for the information. TFTC

GPS did the dirty on us today... all the caches we had loaded up to do today were gone when we arrived here.... was not going home to get them... over an hour round trip, so out came the cell phone and GC app and soon typing in the cache co-ords into gps weather was quite hot too 30c

last find for the day... geo-pug overheated and would have been much better day if temp cooler and the gps more co-operative

we came we cached we sweated

thanks to redpaw64 for this cache

TNLNSL

What started off as a beautiful sunny day, turned into crazy wind which made this fun to sign. Great place thanks

This one took a little longer than it should have in the dark! Eventually found the opening and cache was in hand. Some mugglers were walking past but then I heard she didn't want to walk past where I was sitting with my Torch and did a detour haha. TFTC

nicely hidden

2 for 2....loving this! We traded pens.

Scouts members were glad to help out and give us hints sneaky hide though!

Found it

I have found this cache. It could have been months ago now and I probably had a cool story to go with it at the time but instead I saved it in my found list and now I forget everything. No more of that from now on. Thanks anyway! =]

#402 for us and the one that gives us souvenir #18/31 in the 31 Days thingy.

We had to come and make use of the nearby Oval #2 today, so this one was a natural for today's cache. Last time we played here, I was unsuccessful, but the recent logs looked much more encouraging.

While the team warmed up, I scuttled off for the hunt and with accurate coordinates, was very soon signing the log.

Cache was replaced, camo reset and off to watch Team Dunstan earn a comprehensive win in appallingly windy conditions, with a gale blowing directly across the totally unprotected field. At one stage I thought that wind was going to rip the goalpoasts out of the ground ! With their win today, the boys have given themselves a week off before the Grand Final in a fortnight's time.

Thanks for the cache, the smiley and the souvenir RedPaw64 and Go Torquay !

Tftf tnln

I looked for this one unsuccessfully back in Deceber 2012. After seeing many "found" logs this year, I headed back to do it and found it where I had previously looked. TFTC, RedPaw64.

Found! No one around, quick one. Was in view so I made it a little more hidden in the same spot. TFTC

Found. Was in open view so we put back in same spot with some camo. Found with Na'wal. TFTC

Found it

Nice and easy one for today,

Third find for the day. Took TB. TFTC !!

Good bye little travel bug send me lots of photos of every where you go

Quick and easy find. Surprised its been quite awhile since last find. Tftc

Found it before heading home
Nice hide
TFTC

Had a few quick looks while picking up geo jnr from guides with no luck. Today I found it with no dramas

Found on Saturday. This was funny. Sister and I were walking towards GZ thinking no way we are going to be able to find this one, too many 'muggles'- WRONG! They weren't muggles at all. Next minute, before we had even started looking we heard 'WE KNOW WHERE IT IS!' Turned to see a decent sized group of people checking us out. I let my sis have it. N' she got help my the distant 'cold, warmer, warm, hot!' Haha. Good one. She made me re-hide it, thought something in the area stank too much. I did the quick look over the shoulder to make sure noone was looking although I knew about 10 adults and children WERE looking at me and skid-addled off with a happy face. T.F.T.C!

Fourth find on a night geocaching trip with LionJRB and Storchburp. This one took us a little while to locate and the hint really helped in the end. TFTC RedPaw64
