Unfortunately there does not seem to be any evidence that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement or an indication as to when this might take place

It would appear the owner of this cache listing is no longer interested in the cache and the cache has been abandoned.

As such the cache is being de-listed (Archived). If there are components or remnants of the cache, please recover them as we don't want to litter our environment with Georubbish.

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

Hi 3up,

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed as well as to remove it from search listings.

**Please note that caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis you will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't just pop out and fix the issue,** Caches where the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain will not be archived.

Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so. Alternatively, what you need to do is place a Write Note log indicating a date when you you expect you might be able to attend to the issue/s.

**When I next check on the cache, if there is no acknowledgment from the CO as request above, the cache will most likely be de-listed (Archived).**

I was juggling a few family commitments on a Sunday morning with the possibility of getting to a few nearby caching events. As it turned out I arrived at Port Melbourne for the nearby CITO just a little too late so decided to try a couple of caches nearby that I hadn’t previously attempted. After heading to the other side of the river I jut had time to try this one before heading on to the nearby event. It was just starting to rain but I parked up the car and made a dash for it. I can see how this might be tricky at times today but the area was pretty quiet today was able to make a quick find and avoid the showers to get back to the car. My fourth find of five for the day. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the multi cache 3up.

After attending the nearby CITO and Event, i took the opportunity to grab a few more caches on the way home.
I had GZ to myself with the heavy rain settling in. I'm sure this location could become very busy, but safe hidden in plain sight.
Log signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for the cache 3up

Find #4019. Found @ 19:05 with LouiseAnn.

My self-appointed challenge for the year is to get 1000 finds for the year, and I've fallen behind in that. To get me closer, I took to the Federation Trail and Kororoit Creek Trail. There were storms forecast, but thankfully seemed to pass by the area, and leave me unscathed.

Heading back towards the freeway on the way home, and there was just time enough to make a quick detour to grab one last cache. There were some friendly geo-woofers in the park that came to say hello as we walked to GZ.

Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache 3up

06-Oct-18
Out late doing a couple of night caches on a Friday night and decided to collect a few on the way home, now Saturday morning. This was a fairly quick one although some of the previous logs were a little confusing as it was a nice park although could not see anything amazing and with what smelled like sewerage in the air we were keen to grab and run in this one. But cache was good and helped with streak and fill in another zero on the calendar. TFTC.

Thanks 3up for the cache.
Found at 1:05 am on 6/10/18.
Find # 800

*6 Oct 2018, Found @12:58 am, Find # 2125.*

On our way home from a night cache and made a stop here. I have been to this location a few times, and always when I'm accompanying school children. It was nice to come here tonight with no children and be able to turn this one into a smiley.

**Thanks to 3up for placing this cache.**

Day 1 of my latest road trip. 5 days around new regions in VIC and 1 day/night in SA.

#1 - A quick jump off the freeway and a nice stroll in the morning sun. A quick find at GZ.

Thanks 3up

Since moving from New Zealand in 2016 I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches.
So far I’ve knocked off 4 of the states. VIC, SA, NSW and A.C.T all multiple times.
No two areas are the same here and almost every place I go to is stunning. The beauty of caching is that it takes you to so many places you would never usually find.
Thank you to all the cachers out there for hiding and maintaining their caches. Especially to those who put so much effort into creating unique and fun hides.
I enjoy finding well maintained caches in fun and unique cache containers. No one likes finding a mint tin – but a find is a find after all.
Well she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin' that there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
Yeah, an d if she had to die
Tryin' she had one little promise
She was gonna keep
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
It was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
She could the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves crashin' in the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful
Something that's so close
And still so far out of reach
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

We rode to this one after finding a baker's dozen caches on the Federation Trail.
Mowing work in progress, we managed to log in without arousing suspicion.

**Note To CO** The cache is starting to show its age, would love some TLC.

Thanks 3up for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.
