Creek Walk II Clifton Hill East, Victoria, Australia
By Grant61 on 18-Mar-10. Waypoint GC256MM

As there has been no response by the cache owner to the previous note, I am forced to archive this listing.

[center][u]MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?[/u][/center]
[navy]Perhaps it is time for the CO to check on this one please.

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.

Your prompt attention to logs that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers. It is generally accepted that 3 consecutive DNF's is reason enough to check, see here http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance

Please respond to this situation by 14th January to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

And don't forget, please log an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404 and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 to get your cache up and running again.[/navy]

Had a pretty good look but I couldn't see it anywhere

Out on a cup day bike ride before heading to a friend's BBQ. No luck here for me. Thanks anyway.

Looked but couldn't find it. Shame, it was a great day

First attempt at a geocache and didn't find. This little note made me try a little longer though!

tftc

Couldn't find it today. Even with the spoiler. Such a nice day.

Yay!

Easy!!!

Nice hide! Have looked a few times and was lucky today. TFTC!!!

Hint isn't that much of a give away really
+Richard

=)

On tour from Hobart - easy find thanks to clue. Many muggles

Nice find

When flooded turn back

Find 1421 at 16:55. I was out caching with 2poons today and we were on a mission to clear out the remaining caches around Yarra Bend Park that had been left over from previous runs. There were a few long walks to get to some of the caches, but it was a great day out and about. All in all we managed to find 13 caches today and this was find number 10.

Parking around here is a bit of a nightmare but once we got over that hurdle, the cache was a quick and easy find. Thanks for the hide, Grant61!

Cool spot, love the little bridge.

Tricky but got there eventually! Spoilers not overly helpful.

Yay!
Found with NatJ

Found yay

Found

Nicely hidden, TFTC.
Swapped a saxophone reed for a Get Out of Jail Free card, (thought it'd come in handy).

We struggled a little and another guy came and helped. He reckoned it's moved slightly from when he found it.

Quick find on a cycle though the area. TFTC

Could have spent ages looking.. But lucky I have a crafty co-cacher tftc

Busy little spot. Nice hide but s bit difficult to get out. TFTC

TFTC Grant61. First find for a while, on a cool overcast day in the middle of summer. With Noelle04

Found with Spiffy. Took a bit of hunting. GPS was all over the show. Tftc

Out for an after work cache run until dark with sharkiefan today. Picked up a few multis and mostly trads and surprisingly considering it was Friday arvo the traffic was pretty good and we managed to find parking exactly where we wanted to on all but one cache. With phones loaded with searches avoiding each others finds we set off.
Tried to park nearby but sharkiefan didn't want to jump the fence so we moved down a little bit. Even with the spoiler photo this took a couple of minutes to find especially with the amount of cycling muggles coming along here.
Thanks Grant61 for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

Rockin cache!

We didn't find it because we were on the wrong side of the creek! It was to hard at night!! Thanks anyway

Nice hiding place. Me and my sister had lots of trouble getting onto the path. We then looked for about twenty min with no success.

This was first stop on my short afternoon walk around Westgarth and Clifton Hill. Picked a bad time as there were a lot of cyclist commuters on the move. Very hard to hear them approaching. I was actually surprised by the ammount of traffic. Eventually had the cache after searching a few likely spots.

A great reintroduction to geocaching after taking a break.

Bit wet!

We found it near a rock saying Victoria 150.

Did this at night. Lucky it eas in the open. Slightly water damaged though.

Quick find this cache needed no looking for?
Contents very wet and soggy, some left a ticket to sign.
This cache could do with a good service.
TFTC.

Riding from lunch in East brunswick to the city via this wonderful trail.
Log is saturated so photo only. Thanks for this cache trail.

Got it. It was a bit wet, loved the footy card

Log book wet and soggy.

A bit wet but our 1st find!

Not sure if it was in its proper position as it seemed a bit exposed. Any way an easy find.

Yay!

Quick wet find.

Gave up looking when I spotted several syringes, didn't want to get spiked poking around

...no logbook...

also cool spot, with the river and so...
cache is not so wet like the creek walk 1,
but has no logbook...

#973

Found while biking with SixLeggedIguana and Mr Shifty. TFTC

Nice and easy to find. TFTC!

The young geo lad found this straight away and we signed the tattered log sheet and as we tried to return it, muggles seemed to come from all directions. We waitied and managed to return it in between them passing. Needs some attention soon. TFTC Grant61.

This cache is in a pretty location on the Yarra Trail but in serious need of maintenance - paper log has been wet and moulded away. Tore a sheet of paper that I happened to carry in my payback and logged on this new piece of paper but I expect it won't last long as the container itself is wet and apparently regularly inundated.

Returned to sign months after finding a soggy page. Alas now the page is almost non existent, needs replacing possibly moving if this area continues to be flooded. Nice little find though thanks!

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Found it on our cycle trip in Melbourne! TFTC

This one really does need maintenance.

Quickly found. Requires a new logbook. Tftc

Over in Melbourne visiting relatives and managed to find time for a little bit of caching.
Quick find but log was one solid mass. Had been wet but was now dry, Lifted off a corner and put name there but next cacher will have trouble finding anywhere to put their name.
Had no replacements with me.
Thanks for the cache Grant61

Nice cache, nice river, nice place tftc

Cache needs to be replaced.

Logs and trinkets are rotten and moldy.

Beautiful spot. TFTC!

Found, but cache is in disrepair.

As noted, the log is a partially disolved wet mess. One of the hinges on the container is broken, and whatever kind soul put the whole thing in a ziploc has been defeated by the elements and a very determined (if misguided) leech.

Squippie and I headed here after a fail at Creek Walk 1. This was much, much easier, but we still couldn't sign the log. It has a new leech friend as well as being quite wet. We took photos of the cache and contents as alternate proof of our presence. Should the cache get replaced, I'm sure we'll come back--it was a lovely walk.

Easy find, but needs maintenance as the log book is too wet to sign.

Found it easily, although it definitely needs maintenance. Logbook in cache to soggy to sign and actual cache completely wet TFTC :p

Easy find after disappointment at creek walk 1. Definitely needs maintenance.

Logbook rather soggy and case muddy, but an easy find even though my gps was suggesting behind a tree some meters away. Getting a bit better at the telltale signs I guess. TFTC

Cache and logbook is completely waterlogged. Suspect it's too close to the creek and gets flooded

Geokid 2 found it quickly without the spoiler TFTC.

We had spent most of the day at the Salami Festival enjoying tasting all the different samples of salami, then headed out to find some of the nearby caches.
Thanks Grant61 for the cache,
Regards The Coffee's.

What a beautiful afternoon to cache it with my little friend Ava!!!

Even on a wet afternoon there was still plenty of foot traffic down here. I've got to admit I looked at the spoiler pic so had no trouble finding this one. The cache has been put in a bag which is hopefully keeping it a little drier... today it was also providing a cosy home to a couple of slugs. Lovely. I quickly signed the log and returned it - thanks for the cache Grant61.

Nice hide tftc

Tftc one of the few I will be doing tonight on my outing with joeyjoejoe81

Wet wet wet wet wet! Wet log! Wet everything!!
TFTC

needs serious maintenance all soggy!!!!!

found with NYCworldtrotter a bit easy but still good

Found it with Joshyboy76

Found it with Joshyboy76

Very nice spot. As the picture shows, we were not able to sign the log book, because it was soaken wet.
TFTC

9th find for team KK, however log is totally soaked and unable to find

Found it. Log too wet to sign.

Cache totally soaked. Log too wet to sign.

Found while walking the creek. Flood waters must have been this high as log too wet to sign.

Found it, very muddy and soggy, too wet to sign.

Nice one! Needs a bit of maintaining.

Cache has suffered a fair bit of flood damage. Some attention will be required.

Found it during queens birthday holiday when couldn't go out of the city. Needs a maintanance!

On a night run with Happy Chappies......geez it was cold!!!
After wandering the streets for a while, we managed to find the access to the creek path. GZ had had a bit of flood damage, so we thought the worst for the cache and we were right.
The cached container was "double bagged" but even that didn't stop the water and mud getting in. The container and location needs to be changed.
A nice little spot.

Turns out we parked in the wrong spot, so we started wandering in the wrong direction not quite sure of where we should be going. After a re-group we headed in the right direction, seeing some interesting parts of the suburb at the same time. Pretty soon we popped out onto the path and wandered over to the creek, where after a bit of an examination of the hint (to avoid unnecessary dunking!) we found the cache.

It appears to have suffered quite a bit at the hands of last weeks floods. Muddy and wet. Managed to make a bit of a signature before returning.

TFTC.

A nice quick cache. Love the creek.

It was hard but eventually we found it

Found it while on JOTT.

had to park in a nearby street and walk in thought we'd come across some other cachers but they kept there distance when we got to GZ TFTC

After first driving to far into the the little housing area we backed up and walked in from a nearby street. Something didnt feel right when were at this cache and we weren't sure if the two guys around us were caches giving us our distance or if there was something else going on. Anyway off to the event!
TFTC.

Found @ 5:31am, find # 2213
After the 3am WWFM event I hung around the area to find a few more caches, this was one of them.
After finding Creek Walk 1 I grabbed my bike out of the car and rode down the path until I reached GZ for this one. Once there I was a very quick find.
Thanks to Grant61 for this cache and all the caching fun.

Today I was met with a spare Sunday, having done all of my homework for this weekend on the Saturday. Dad was free too, which only meant one thing. The question was: where to go? I decided to head up North and do a sweep as best I could across the Northcote/Brunswick area. Very minimal DNFs and a lot of new areas discovered meant a fun day was had in an area I have visited many times. This find was the 20th of 23 finds.

Great spot down here! Thoroughly enjoyed it

Cache was located quite easily in the end, GPS took me straight to it.

Thanks Grant61!

PS, sorry for such a late log (writing this on 1/9/13) but I guess its better late than never!

Was a quick dart in and back to avoid being seen by the joggers!
