Hi
This cache appears to have some problems. It is the cache owner's responsibility to read the logs and check the cache to sort out any problems with it and give an indication of when it may be up and running again for people to find.
**The cache is being Disabled to give the Cache Owner an opportunity to investigate and fix the apparent issues.**
Once the cache is operational again, the CO should write an *Owner Maintenance* log advising that the promlems have been fixed, and to remove the *Needs maintenance* attribute (red cross) if that is showing on the cache page. The CO can then write an Enable log to return the cache to play.
If the cache cannot be fixed it should be archived.
**If there is no response to this log after 30 days the cache will be Archived.**

The [Geocache Maintenance guideline](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

With the construction in this area the gz is not accessible. Maintenance request appears to be ignored so should be archived until area is again
Accessible

Blocked by construction? Will check back when it's free of obstacles.

Think the construction fencing is blocking this cache

Easy to find because it wasn't good hidden. Nice Cache on a Saturday afternoon. Greets from Germany

Nice hide and a quick find after we sorted out the required info. Out caching with Will of the Wisp whilst travelling around the world in 80 days to celebrate retirement. TFTC.

Log wad is pretty much full. Container is somewhat bent to trash. Sweet hide!!!

Found this afternoon exploring city after watching Sun Loong dragon at the museum. Cache was not where clues said and in need of repair. TFTC

Easy find on a hot day

A nifty find with a friend on a nice walk around the north side of the city. TFTC TNLN.

The cache was reasonably visible, but likely not to anyone not looking for it. Thanks for the cache.

A little worse for wear, but I neatened it a little and replaced it where I found it. TFTC

Day 2 of the national Aikido school and another city cache (using up the Parkville caches ahead of the mega... Not a great idea... But our streak!!!)

Seeing the rock wall i was expecting Ting an exasperating search and was already preparing a backup cache to head towards... But something must have happened to the Camo and it was a really easy find. The cache container is broken as well, CO may want to pop by and rehide it.

Agree it is a little waterlogged but nice evening walk.
Stay lit, fam. FOMO.

Looks lioke the log got really wet at some stage but dry now.. tftc!

A little worse for wear but a nice hide. TFTC

Nice, easy find. Pen stopped working, so pic of log attached for proof. TFTC

Quick find, without answering the questions. Cache needs fixing but props for keeping it going since 2008.

Log is completely wet, cache needs a lid.

Log is all soggy plastic bag ruin needs a lid

Up here for one early appointments didnt take long to spot it even with out working stuff out needs some serious tlc

Cache has no lid log is just full water needs some serious attention paid to it

Cache is clearly visible without solving the puzzle. The log is wringing wet though

As I'm now 3 months behind in my logging I am desperately trying to catch up and am mass logging to do so.

In the Melbourne CBD for almost 2 weeks for training for work and naturally I grabbed some caches
Some were lunch time walks and some were night time drives.
It took me quite a while to get used to the behaviour of the GPSr in this city
Took me even longer to get used to those 'hook turns' [?]
Having been here previously and not having been able to find the hint's WPd feature (ok I was a LOT distracted then!) I returned tonight and not only found the hint but also the cache
Also spent some time chatting with a lovely lady who cares for the wildlife in this park [:X][^]

Nice one. Thanks!

The cache was found quickly but it has no lid. TFTC

Virtual clue was spot on. Quiet time on campus so nobody was around. However a campus security guard snuck up behind me when I was poking around the wall and asked me I I really needed to do that to university property. I told her what I was doing and she wandered off

N headed out on a lunch break to locate the cache. Had to wait out a muggle sitting nearby to finish her lunch, then grabbed it.

I liked this one. Thank you for bringing us such a great place.

TFTC!

Clever plain sight hide! The tin was a bit squished, though, and there's no lid anymore - might need replacing.

the clue wasn't much help - not sure the cache was where the clue indicated but found reasonably easily

Found after a long 3 days of lectures. Thanks for the opportunity to switch gears for a little while

Needed those clues, thanks

Day 3 of Australia:

At the beginning we were thinking of checking the exact place with help of the hint but there it was - just in a plain sight. So a little bit of work with fingers and had the logbook in our hands. Tried to put it back in a manner that didn't leave the little stash in a plain sight.

Greetings from Latvia and Belgium!

Been wanting to do this for a long time- probably don't need the clue, could just have a look!

Tftc Cache is sitting in plain sight.

Today was a day when I didn't really want to brave the elements but the caching force was too strong. I thought that I would head towards Carlton and it's surrounds where I haven't been for a while.

I initially tried to find the cache without using the hint but in the end I had to resort to it. After getting the required information it was a quick find. The log was full so I had to walk back to the car to get a new sheet to add. TFTC.

Found with Geo_wife while in the area. We checked the hint and with that information we made a very quick find just as it started raining. Thanks for the cache.

Thank you for the Cache.
What a great object, found quickly as was at the first one I looked at and just below my eye level.
The Tin could do with some TLC.

Auf unserer Australienreise haben wir so einiges besucht. Gestartet sind wir in Melbourn. Wir haben das Outback besucht und waren am heiligen Berg Uluru. Auf dem Merinoloop haben wir auch jeden Stop mitgenommen. Von Alice Springs nich mal zurück nach Melbourn und dann quer durchs Land (Canberre, Blue Mountain usw) nach Sydney.
Alle Caches habe viel Spaß gemacht und daduch haben wir wieder viel gelernt und gesehen. Danke für die Pflege der tollen Caches.

On our vacation this year, we did a great trip as GER-17 to Australia.
GER-17 are DieFraudiemitmuss, Lundi263, de Eifelaner and murri24.
We started the tour in Melbourne where we spend a few days sightseeing and caching, including some trips out of the City to the Grampians an to the Great Ocean Road.
Nice place to be and to see.
From Melbourne we went to Alice Springs including Ayrs Rock, where we saw some nice sunsets and other great stone formations and spots.
Back in Melbourne we started by car to go to Sydney along the coast with zig zags into the blue mountains and Canberra.
Finally we arrived in Sydney and spend here the last day of our holidays with caching and sightseeing.
During this trip we found this box.

murri24

DieFraudiemitmuss, Lundi263, Murri24 and I made this year a very great tour together. Our first target is Melbourne. So we started early in the morning to visit the city and to make a few geocaches. We found very nice locations and interesting spots. One day we rent a car. Very early in the morning we drive from Melbourne City over Geelong to the Great Ocean Road. Along this road we found so much interesting spots, we see a great landscape, and had have not enough time for sightseeing. The weather was fine but a little bit windy. This day was very long and hard, but wonderful.
After that we visit the Grampians. A little bit rain, a little bit windy and a little bit sunny day, we had fasten all weathers. We visit waterfalls, canyons, sandstone fomations and any Look Outs. Puhhh, what a great landscape.
The next part of our journey is to explore the Outback. From Ayers Rock we take a car and drive over Kings Canyon and many other Look Outs to Alice Springs. We visit any very interesting Caches and had a great time by comfortable temperature.
This traditional Cache we hav also found. We log it as "GER-17". Thank you for this Cache.

Together with Team "GER-17" (consisting of murri24, der Eifelaner & dieFraudiemitmuss) I was able to find this Cache.

Thanks a lot for hiding it!

Thx for The cache was a nice little find after some fun guessing games very nimble and strong fingers to get this one out

Tftc

Whoop! Coooold hands took a while to wriggle it out hehe

Decided to take a break from the office and do some caching on a reasonable Melbourne winters day. TFTC

Found after a day of training in the city. Thought I would have a look before getting the hint. With a careful scan of the object I found the cache. Thanks Solomonfamily

Anzac Day, in the middle of the city grabbing a few caches with only a few muggles about. A nice park and geo son had found it before I got back with the hint.
Thanks solomonfamily for placing the cache for us to find.

After walking around the cemetery Jenno3, Sean.75, kenare and I headed over this way for a few yards before heading home. Lucky Sean.75 could reach! I had no hope!! Cache is missing its lid. Tftc

After doing lunch on the run we stopped here for a wander and a few caches. Sean.75 had his hands on it in no time at all. Tftc

This university is sooooo damn big!!!!! We walked around all of it to see the touch of grand old buildings like you see in the English movies to this new unique site. Clever cache but found easily but is missing the lid. Tftc

I had a look at the hint before arriving at Gz, but it turned out I didn't need it. Cache missing lid. Tftc

In the area doing a few caches I did the clue coords first which meant an easy find at GZ
A clever hide in a large structure
Log needs replacing as I added a page out of my notebook to get the next cachers by for now
This is making me thirsty TFTC

Found on a cold but sunny Melbourne day.

Find #3254

I was in the city with Lost_and_Found_79 to attend a safety briefing for the upcoming Oxfam trailwalker event. Once we were done there we grabbed the car and headed towards Melbourne Uni to check out a few more cache in that area. We parked near this one and as L&F79 had found it already she let me work through it and it was a quick find once I had worked out the details of the hint. I grabbed the TB from this one to move on, signed log and visited some other trackables. Thanks for the cache solomonfamily.

my second find on this evening's nighcaching excursion. TFTC

Logbook out of space

Found after attending learning difference conference at the Uni.
Found by non- cacher friend.
TFTC

I really like this one!

Nice one.

Great hide

Came back to drop off a TB.

Nice quick find! Tftc!

Found just by looking carefully

First cache with some shy cousins- tftc

Thanks for the cache. The log needs replacing.

Our second search our first find. The other one was hard.
Mia Leen Pete

Solved the clue and the cache was found quickly. Nice twist with the clue. Tftc

TFTC! With themaz!

TFTC found with mammo78 good hide

A bit fiddly to get the log out but managed in the end. TFTC!

It's... so... hot... TFTC...

Quick find in the heat. TFTC

Our first day here in Melbourne. We enjoyed the interesting ride with the tram around the inner city and the walk in this beautiful city. TFTC and greetings from Austria

Back to our roots... rocks I mean

Thanks found it

After a DNF at a near by cache, I arrive at GZ and look at the task ahead, and think this is not going to be a good day. Looked at the hint and thought, that's a bit of work in its self, so I gave the wall a Quick look and a quick find was had. Nice hide, Replaced as found, The lid has a big hole in it but the log was dry in it's bag. Thanks solomonfamily. TFTC.

Am at a workshop at Melbourne Uni this week, so it's a great opportunity to explore some new territory to fill in my cache-per-day-of-year grid. This one would have been found a lot more quickly if I hadn't mixed up my lefts and my rights. My muggle friend soon put me right and then the cache was quickly found. TFTC!

Found it!

Found during a walk around the city while in Melbourne for a conference. Attempted a search before doing the sums but finally relented, visited the structure, did the calculations, worked out the locality and made the find. Thanks for the cache solomonfamily!

Yes! Finally! After looking for some time a while back, DD19 and I finally got it today. I think we were looking in the wrong place last time. Nimble fingers indeed! Thanks for the cache!

Second time trying to find it. This time in daylight. Helped heaps!! Thanks.

Finally after a couple previous visits we got a gap in muggles to make this cache. TFTC TNLN

Sneaky! I love it

Found It!
I've never quite understood Adelaide Uni's public art but at least it's better the Melbourne Uni's cube of rocks! A quick find after working out the hint!
TFTC

Spent soooo long last night looking for it and then again this afternoon and third time lucky we (me and muggle friend) found it!!! It was not in the C part sooo have put it back there to avoid confusion!(: tftc

Spent an hour and a half looking for this with my muggle friend!! Followed all the clues correctly and all the coordinates and everything!! I'll be back!! This means war with the thing that the cache is on!! WAR!! Lol (I'm determined!!)

Found it together with looki during our holidays in Melbourne. This is our very first cache in Australia. Thank you very much for hiding.
Tftc & Greets from Austria

This is the first cache in Australia for SpookyEyes and me. Thank you for hiding the container.
Greetings from Austria.
