As there has been no response to the last request/s to attend to this cache, the cache is being Archived on the basis that it has been abandoned.

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash.

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. Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the [Help Center](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

If you wish to contact me please send your email via my profile - [Bunjil,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

### **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 - so as 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.

Had a day off today and decided to get some caches around Melton. A quick look for this one ended with nothing like everyone else.

Couldnt find it

I re-visited GZ this afternoon because it's (sort of) close to me and there have been several DNFs over the past few weeks. I can confirm that the cache is gone. Could CO please replace the cache soon? Thanks.

Couldn't find

No good

There was nothing here. Kids were disappointed

Got it but it wasn't where the GPS lead me and it was opened. Unsure where there needs to be done maintenance in this one

brought geohubby here to find this one, but he wasn't successful.

Not there at all >

Found a container that fits description filled with needles and drugs. Call cops to dispose.

I have not been to Melton for some years so it was nice to revisit.

Put this cute little guy in there xxx TFTC!!!

Pretty sure this 1 has been distroyed

Grabbed this on my way into Melton to visit the pool shop. Hunted around every other tree until I finally chose the right spot. Oops.
Still remember when they built the trotting track here - a great facility for the town.
TNLNSL returned as found. TFTC

Found it after searching the trees. Swapped turtle toy for a shark toy. Thanks

Found it while out walking a nice size hide which is in great condition I would have thought these type of containers didn't like being out in weather, but seems that is not true, thanks for the cache peter2701

Finally found this. My GPS couldn't sit still but some digging around came up with the goods.
TFTC!!!

TFTC nice easy find! Love the size.

We both had a good long look for this one, but no luck today. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Either really well hidden or not there anymore?
Could t find it.

My first cache attempt for today after work but unfortunately a DNF. My GPS settled and I was within 40cm of GZ. I extended my search out about 6m either side of GZ but no luck. I'll keep an eye on it and come back another day.

Easy find

Nice start to 2016

Had no luck

Quick and easy find Tftc!

Nice easy

A quick drive by on the way to my wife's Grandfathers for a Christmas visit. In the process I was able to knock off another calendar date in an LGA where I hadn't previously found a cache. This one was particuarly easy as it was exposed on the side of the road - it is now tucked away. tftc

Nice easy find
TFTC

First cache of the day and we met up here with the Monchs. Lots of flies around here so we didn't linger long after the cache was found! Thanks for the hide.

A quick stop on a busy geocaching day. This was our 12th today. TFTC

I make a few trips back and forth from Melton so if I get a chance to try and grab some of the unfound caches each time I take a detour on the way home.

A quick find once I pulled over to the side of the road. Thanks for the cache peter2701.

Road trip with GeoYogster. Tftc.

TFTC. Nightcaching with McStormy. Nailing a few back to the 'rat.

Real easy find

Found it

Easy

So many pine spikes! Thanks for the cache!

The geosis and I found this one on the way home for a lil housing adventure, nice quick drive by! TFTC

12:22, 5 September 2015. #237. Headed to TABCORP Stadium for a Motorcycle Safety Expo sponsored by Melton and Wyndham City Councils. I thought I'd have a go at this one. Rode my bike to where I thought GZ would be, parked, got off, headed 15 metres to where my iPhone said it would be, then headed 12 metres back when it pointed back that way and soon had the cache in hand, less than five metres from where I parked.

TNLNSL. TFTC peter2701 and thanks for the extra exercise Apple.

Thanks PETER 2701 for the hide.

Nice easy find on the way home from work. TFTC.

Rockbank 2nd night
Our trip today was towards Melton. We spent a peaceful time walking the trail around Killarney Lakes.
Thanks for placing this cache peter2701

Found it! Solo grab by Mark on his way back up to Creswick after a day back in LaLa land (Melbourne). Didn't think I was going to get it as it was nowhere near where my GPS was indicating. Did an expanded search and managed to pick it up second time around. Very busy little road, lucky the trees provide some cover or we would look really suspect on this one...TFTC

Straight forward find, busy spot, T4TC

Nice hide.

Nice find thanks no pen

Took mum out for her first cache she had so much fun tftc

TEAM CRIMSAFE112 WITH BOOJAM27 &MAGIK68 BIRTHDAY CACHES #1
Tftc MAGIK68 found this easily love it thanks, many mughles though!!

Nice easy find. Thought we'd do a few around Melton on our way home after an early footy game against the Bloods. Only a goal in it so Rupo under 12's remain at the bottom of the ladder
Took nothing, left nothing.
TFTC

Easy to find from the road!
Our 3rd Geocache for Team Roberts!

Found on a long weekend in June when we traveled from Bendigo to Melbourne for a Birthday Party, stayed the night in a Budget Hotel in St Kilda - then onto Ballarat to see the Earthcache apprentice at FU and then home to Bendigo. We only had the time for a few caches today. A short detour from the M8 to visit yours - it looks like a great venue.
TFTC peter2701

Thanks for the cache a nice quick drive by

Travelled down here today from Beaufort to visit rellies and also to see Smoken Up run his last race before retirement. We knew that it would be busy tonight so we made the trip down early so we could get this cache in the late morning. Being a lovely sunny day at the beginning of Spring, there were many cars passing to go to the nearby tip. One backed up because he thought we had car trouble and we thanked him for asking. TFTC.
