###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

I've noticed this cache is carrying a maintenance log which really does need to be addressed by the cache owner.
The guidelines indicated that regular visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.
**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) by 29th July,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?
You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:
- Repair and/or Replace your cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.
- If you don't plan on fixing it up then please [**Archive it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.
- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (by 29th July). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.
You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, it is likely that I will need to Archive it on the basis that it has been abandoned. Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the instructions posted above.

There is a few DNFs for this one so unsure if it's still here or if it has been muggled
So ive been walking up and down these rocks where the gps keeps jumping. It will tell me im 4m away then 12m.
I have been looking for a long time now and its not here. Theres alot of dead cacti around too.. so the hint didnt help.

Nice one! Wasn't sure we'd be able to get there, but we made. And it had been raining, which made the rocks a little wet! All's well that ends well. Tftc
Today I went out and cleaned out all the caches I haven't done around the Melton area. This was my last find of the day and it had me stumped for a bit my GPS was jumping all over the place then I saw something and there was the cache.
Going through my GPSr and discovered that I had not logged this find, but better late than never It was one I remember getting my feet wet while going to the hide, but a drier route was found while signing the logbook, all is good here, thanks for the hide missrawrr93
First catch of the day while out with ljthrilla. Careful when the creek is flowing, one miss step over the rocks can land you in the drink, as I found out SL TFTC
Thanks for the cache, missrawrr93. I found it on my 4th visit to the site. The cache is in good shape, nice and dry inside. I removed some smoking accoutrement and other rubbish from it. I drove across the ford, parked on the track on the eastern side of the creek and approached GZ from the north east, above the creek. SL TN LN.
This cache had me scratching my head for a bit. My GPS was pointing me a few metres away. And there were more dead cactus than you could poke a stick at. After widening my search I saw something that looked a little out of place. Bingo! Log signed and on to the next. This area would look fantastic after a heavy rain.
TFTC!!!

Kids loved rock jumping to find his cache. It's missing a pen and we forgot to bring one. We took a little dinosaur and left two dinosaurs in its place.
Had a great walk to this one. Luckily there wasnt much water so made for an easy crossing!! Tftc
Was not hidden at all. We came a year ago and couldn't find it, this time it was too easy.
Have tried to camouflage it better.

Second time looking and it was very well hidden thanks to the geocacher before me

We went shopping in Melton today so Mum, my Brother and I decided to pick up a few caches.
This is a beautiful location! The little rock pools and waterfalls were flowing nicely after the rain we've had lately, and it was fun to jump across them to the cache. Nice little area I hadn't been to before. TFTC, in good condition

We found this cache today at 5:30pm as number 16 of 23 on our Melton Intervening Days Tour. Co-ords were very good for this cache and it was soon found. A nice spot. Thanks from D & HA B-A.
I took about 15 minutes to locate this cache - so many hiding spots! The hint threw me off as well - there's no dead cacti near the cache!
I eventually located the uncovered cache poking out of a crack - definitely not where I was expecting but I'm not sure how I missed it! As I was signing the log someone drove into the reserve on the other side of the creek and parked directly opposite. Luckily it was just a friendly local checking out some traps he had left in the creek. The cache was soon replaced and I was on my way. It's a lovely spot here and I spotted a few lizards whilst I was searching. TFTC.

I failed to find this the first time I was here because of water levels but today was a perfect day for caching. Thanks. Cache in great condition
Out on a day/night of caching with Geordiefamily around Melton to add smileys to the map.
What a great area to live near. It would be awesome to see this area in flood, argh yes we found the cache.
Thanks for the Cache missrawrr93

on a visit from Geelong with alchey. Nice walk as darkness approached. Lovely area. Tftc.
Cache all ok. Nowhere near the cacti bush and so spoiler photo to show where the cacti is! GZ spot on though! TFTC missawrr93.
Searched for half hour... no luck.. I found the hints given were a bit vague but nice area.. thankyou

My GPS had me circling around a bit here but I eventually spotted it just as I was about to admit defeat. Cache in good order and well hidden in a nice scenic part of Melton.
Went and revisited this cache as last year we couldn't find it. Found it fairly quickly this time. Great location. TFTC. SL. TNLN.
Sarah and Jason 6/11/13. Not much in there so we gifted a swap. Official hint may make ppl look in the wrong area. My hint is rock sandwich closer to the GZ. This was our 3rd ever find.
Hmmm probably right under our noses. We didn't find the cache but it was a great walk regardless
Found after about 15 mins after widening the search a bit from GZ. Thanks to missrawrr93 for the cache.
Spent over an hour looking for this Cache amongst the area indicated. Given the size of the cache I think something must have muggled it. Suggest re visiting it to make sure. Will have another go if indicated the cache is still there.
The GPS would not settle, and had me searching everywhere, then I used geo-sense and soon was signing the log. I was glad to spend time in such a beautiful area though. Thanks missrawrr93
Looked high and low with co-ords listed on page , but only found it after trying co-ords that were in one of the logs posted here.... I must be using the same gps as they are
Second day of geocaching on a bit of a holiday between Melbourne and Adelaide.
Very nice weather today and pleased to find this cache.

All still there not many goodies so placed a few things no pen either was an old hi lighter with not much juice in it managed to put my mark in so byo pen for the next cacher TFTC
object was hidden or found by mugle. maintenance required. object was hidden too hard by previous finder...or found by mugle or moved natural causes. maintenance might be required.
This cache was hidden fairly obviously - maybe not the best way for long term preservation, but it sure made it easier to find. I saw some bees coming and going from the big chunky tree a bit further south, it was good to discover that the cache did not involve the tree or any subsequent stinging.
After meeting old and new caching friends at this year's Intervening Days Geocache Event I decided to hunt down a few caches before returning to Geelong.
A couple of nearby caches were to crowded to even think about looking but at this guy things were a little better.
I liked the cache name as it is very apt and is indeed the best way of getting there and not through the long grass.
I have to admit that it took a while to locate this guy which was well hidden by the last finder and that is good.
Thanks missrawrr93 for showing me this location.
So far I am the only cacher that went to the Event to have found your cache!

Find # 2425
Today I had planned as a caching day, normally a good friend celebrates his birthday today, but due to the fact that he is travelling overseas, I had the day free to go caching. I received an email from my caching partner in crime, SedgwickDave and he was free and eager to go and find some caches. We decided to head towards the Melton area and the Intervening Days V and Scubacrazy666's 1000th event which I unfortunately missed last year. We decided to leave early and to find a few caches on the way there. I picked up Dave at 9.15, It was a beautiful Summers day, just perfect for caching.
We parked in the nearby street and made our way GZ where our GPSr's had us going in circles for a while until they settled and dave made the find. We tore out one of the pages of the log book due to a muggle finding the cache and writing some not so nice stuff. It pay be a good idea to find a new spot for this one.
Loved the massive rocks.
Thanks go to missrawrr93 for the Cache and bringing us to this great spot. TNLN.

On the way to the Intervening Days V event with Ahomburg and not having cache in the area before was keen to check out the surrounding region. Today's run resulted in 23 finds and no DNFs, nice. Today's challenge was also to find at least 5 different cache types (6 actually counting the trig point on GCA), done. A great day overall with ideal weather conditions and a light southerly breeze.
It took us awhile to find this one, so activated the yellow brick for a more accurate position and once lock in it lead me straight to the cache. The hint is not quite right unless the cache has had some cache creep since placement? While signing the log there were some scribble from a muggle who had found this cache while running away from the police in November, interesting... TFTC missrawrr93, enjoyed the walk and hunt for this one.

Out for a little stroll along a great creek with fluffyrabbit113, loved the skipping over the rocks, not so sure of the movement in the grass but it was only a couple of large lizards moving about. Found it pretty easily thanks
Good cache needs sure foot work to find... This was cache 4/4 today signed log book...
This was, cache # 19 of 24 finds for the day, in the company of Trailrunning, we had been chating and texting for some time now regarding caching but never met, so tonight we finally teamed up and went caching, we had a great night with lots of laughs along the way. I recall getting a wet foot at some creek tonight but not sure if it was here or another creek we crossed earlier in the night. My thanks to missrawrr93 for the cache.
The usual TDC cache grab had been put on hold for a week, so I was looking at doing a solo run when I remembered I had a rain check promise with the legendary RebelActs to go on an evening caching run during the school holidays at some stage in the future. Well tonight was the night. We met at Glen Waverley and were soon moving west to Melton. It’s hard to find locations close to either of us where we haven’t already cleared out the area, so the Melton area was easily accessible and fruitful enough for us both. In all we visited about 33 locations with only two DNF’s, one DNA, and 1 very flat tyre. All in all it was a great night out. I finally got to meet RebelActs after corresponding and talking for such a long time and never actually caching together!
We crossed the creek and soon found the cache. A great spot to bring the kids. Thanks.

Found it on our second attempt with a little more daylight and stronger gps signal. Hint was slightly misleading.
Found this today. Was pretty funny trying to cross over - particularly given that with all the recent rain, the crossing was quite a bit more difficult than it probably is on any normal day.
Thought I was going to go in the fast running water on a number of occasions!!
Once over, the cache was quickly in hand.
Thanks for the fun!

A nice little walk and hop over the rocks.
Some of them were a little slippery but it was easy to get over.
Thanks for the cache in a nice location.
