[u]MAINTENAINCE REQUIRED?[/u]
[blue]I notice from one or more recent log entries that this cache [u]appears[/u] 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.

Prompt attention by cache owners to any log that indicates anything could be amiss is greatly appreciated by all seekers. The guideline advises; "if you can't fix it straight away then "Disable" it till you can."

Please respond to this situation by 30th November 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 how much more time you require.

And don't forget, once you have addressed the issue, post both 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.[/blue]

Yep looks like this one may be gone
 
01-Mar-14
Seems to be destroyed with recent tree removal.
 
20-Jan-14
Not having much luck today with our caching. This is our second DNF in a row, no good especially as we are introducing some friends to geocaching.
No people around today so looking was not a problem at all. There is a lot of tree clearing here but from previous loggers we thought that the cache was still in tact.
we will keep a watch on this one crank1
 
07-Jan-14
That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.
 
05-Jan-14
found it, cache log was very wet couldnt write in it, needs to checked by owner. sort of worried when i seen all the trees cut down but we went anyway. had a look around and got it. nice little park.
 
03-Jan-14
Can nighttime cache!! Wink
 
31-Dec-13
Thanks for bringing us here to this park. Quick find, but log too wet to sign. There is a hole in the bag. Needs some maintenance.
 
31-Dec-13
As per maintenance request. TFTC
 
19-Aug-13
Like previous finders, I was very uncertain about the state of this cache, particularly as I got closer. Thankfully, the park was abandoned (except for one dedicated runner) owing to the fact that on top of that hill, the wind is absolutely ferocious!

Anyway, after a good hunt in all the obvious spots turned nothing up, I switched my focus to some less obvious spots. It was then that I saw something perfectly innocent in a slightly less innocent location. After a quick prod confirmed my suspicions, I had the cache in hand. Signed log and replaced carefully. Thanks for the cache!
 
17-Aug-13
five looking could not find. will try another day when warmer.
 
13-Aug-13
Easy but log wet
 
11-Aug-13
Log is damp but good hide
 
10-Aug-13
I didn't get to this one on my cycling trips earlier in the year, but was passing by today and stopped for the quick find. As noted in other logs the cache is quite exposed and if the tree-felling activity continues the cache will have nowhere to hide.

Dutch family on vacation... travelling from Melbourne to Cairns. Visiting as many caches as possible on the way... Thanks for this one. TFTC.
 
22-Jun-13
Got a bit discouraged with the trees cut down but found a non-concealed cache. Log is a bit wet and looks like trees might be gone soon. Owner might want to change location. TFTC!!!
 
18-Jun-13
Clever hide. Not really hidden at all.
 
18-Apr-13
Out caching in the area with Pea bear today & as we approached GZ we thought it was going to be an immediate DNF. The needle was pointing to where a huge tree was lying on the ground & cut into sections, but after a short search Pea bear made the happy discovery. Thanks crank1 for another great cache.
 
18-Apr-13
Out on another caching mission with BorisB&Natasha. We decided that this would be a nice area to target today and were not disappointed when we arrived at this lovely park. Cache was quickly spotted from a distance as it was exposed but reapplied some camo after signing the log. Thanks crank1 for the cache. Smile
 
29-Mar-13
Quick find today. The covering sort of gave it away, but it didn't matter. TFTC SL Wink

02-Jan-13
Great hide! Greysubmarine and I thought we'd do a quick caching on the way home from Cranburne at 10pm. Looked and looked. And looked.
Just as we were about to give this a DNF, hubby spotted it then I immediately did.
Great hide! TFTC
 
02-Jan-13
Found this on a night run with Mrs G. No muggles in the park but the hint had me confused. Found it in the end nice hide TFTC our first for 2013. Woo hoo.
 
02-Jan-13
Quick find. Was worried about felled tree though.
 
01-Jan-13
Another quick find. Glad it wasn't anywhere kids would be inclined to climb!

Happy New Year 2013

Today I had been busy with my caches to replace all caches new log papers.

Happy Hunting Smile
 
30-Dec-12
Out early for a caching run by bike. This was my first find of the day. I tried to get this one many months ago but was muggled out and so couldn't attempt it. Today it was an easy find. TFTC. SL.

Found today on the 12.12.12 while out and about with the Geodog. I, like others before me had a bit of a sinking feeling when I first saw the felled tree. I had a vision of the cache being under a few tonnes of the tree.I had a very unhappy GPS today so I sort of guessed where GZ should roughly be and just wandered around looking here and there. I did laugh out loud when the cache was found though. So close!. Signed log. Thanks for the cache crank1.
 
20-Nov-12
Found our first cache! Wow not easy!
 
03-Nov-12
Nice and easy find, quaint park as well. Had to pretend to take photos while muggles went past. TFTC!

Nice hide after initially fearing the worst on approach
Thanks crank1
 
26-Sep-12
Nice easy find on a great day for treasure hunting. Big Grin
 
16-Sep-12
As we approached GZ we too thought the tree had been felled. as we got to GZ a muggle came up to us straight away asking "how things are going?", then asked if "K was Marsha?". Nope she was a photographer, so we waited till she moved on before retrieving cache, logging visit then moving on.
 
29-Aug-12
As I arrived at the park I didn't have much hope as one of the trees has been freshly cut down but luckily it wasn't in that one. Sl thanks Crank1 for the hide
 
20-Aug-12
nice easy find tonight at 9.00 pm thanks

Found 1255hrs. Nice place for lunch. TFTC
 
27-May-12
Grabbing this one would have been the perfect way to end a successful afternoon, but when I arrived, two muggles were where I judged I needed to be, and were doing what young lovers tend to do. [:X] I stayed in my car for ten minutes but they weren't going anywhere so I left. I'll get this one another day.

Very nice hide!
Found in the cover of darkness. Perhaps the CO could check on status of the hide for a bit of maintenance.
Thx for the cache crank1
 
05-Nov-11
Had a look around but could not get the clue and with shadows long and already overdue at home it was not going to be found today. TFTC Will return!

Nice easy one on a cold day. Kept warm while i signed the log. Thanks Crank1

Found this afternoon. Nice park with some good views. Lovely old big trees.
thanks crank1.
 
16-Oct-11
A nice park to visit and do lunch. A couple of magpies nesting real close...however they did not mind us being around! Must have timed it well-no muggles at all. TFTH. There is now a bear in there!
 
15-Oct-11
Found @1240 #708
A quick find and completed just in time as on my return to the car some Muggles had appeared. Doing this cache with Muggles in this park would be very hard, best left when there is no one around, like when I start this cache. A great park to visit too. TFTC crank1.
 
07-Oct-11

Quite like these back to nature hides, and this is a very pleasant park. Thanks for bringing me here, and thanks for the cache.

TFTC, weather was windy but the cache's hidy spot kept us a a bit warmer. Smile
Two families of muggles were playing at the park, but neither seemed too interested in us.
Thanks again,

Just a couple of caches done as we headed southwards this morning.
I have cached here before, a long time ago.
Nice and deserted this morning.
TFTC crank1
 
25-Aug-11
Nearly gave up on this one
 
08-Aug-11
As usual I have Monday night all to myself with not a care in the world. I left straight from work and headed to the south east along the Princes Highway to try and grab a few east and south east of Dandenong. The night was threatening to rain but by 1 am not a drop had been seen. This cache was one of those collected. After realising I had a filter on that stopped me looking for micros I went back over ground to grab this one. A brief search revealed the hide, which looked quite out of place. I tried to make it look as natural as I could when I placed it back. Thanks again crank1 for taking me here.
 
08-Aug-11
Found at 2215. Very nice find, agree with others, was a tricky little spot. Beware of spiders...
 
22-Jul-11
Aimmez spotted this one! We were five minutes early for a friends place and made this diversion. Smile TFTH!

10:38am. Very windy this morning. Cold too! TNLN SL TFTC

This was a lovely park, and the cache was found tucked nicely away.
Thanks crank1 for the cache and bringing me to this pleasant spot today.

Nicely hidden. [^]
 
24-Apr-11
A local kid showed us where it was, after I'd already noticed the hiding spot it and was trying to be circumspect so they didn't see! A dead ibis near the cache, hope people haven't been attacking them like that swan in Moonee Ponds...BTW there was no Census in 2009.
 
21-Apr-11
What a cute little park. Found with help of geokid (chicken) who wrestled with a good spider or two before proudly producing this cache. Thanks Smile
 
16-Apr-11
Smile found with geonerdskid. Sneaky hide in a nice area. TFTC
 
08-Apr-11
I did a quick scan of all the trees without seeing it. I then went back and looked more thoroughly and spotted it as soon as I saw it. I don't know how I'd missed it a couple of minutes earlier. This must be the second or third cache that has inhabited this park at some stage - I definitely remember coming here before. Thanks for bringing me back, and for the cache.
 
07-Apr-11
Nice hide. Thanks.

A quick almost drive by with Mr of The Mini Mob. He found the cache while I was still wandering in circles.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks crank1 for this cache here today. It's a very pretty little park.

Long weekend! Monday off work! There really is only one thing to do, so LouiseAnn and I decided it was time to attempt to break our number of caches in one day record. After much debating and deliberation during the week (when we probably should have been working) we agreed the Lynbrook / Narre Warren area was cache rich enough to support a big day. Also, neither of us have been caching out here before so we wouldn’t have the problem of clashing with caches that only one of us had found before. This was cache number three of thirty for the day. Thankfully there were no muggles to deal with and the GPS lead us straight to the cache, making this a quick and easy find. The cache is in good order. Thanks for the cache crank1.

This was our third cache find of the day. Pathfinder24 and I decided to break our record of number of finds in one day (previously 15, we made it to 30 in the end!). We picked the Lynbrook and Narre Warren area, because it looked like there would be a lot of caches close together in this area. On arrival in the area, we were confident that we would have no problems, as there were no muggles around and some usual cache hiding targets. The GPS lead us straight to the hide and the cache was soon in hand. Thanks for the cache Crank1.
 
02-Mar-11
Easily found at 06:30 in the morning. People drive around here as fast as they do in my part of town over in the western burbs.
 
02-Feb-11
Today was a fill the blank day and this cache seemed easy enough on the description. We arrived at the cache in darkness and began our search,
it took a quick call to zero in on a well hidden cache which was duly logged, but felt a terrain of 1.5 would be more appropriate.


Many thanks to Crank1 for the cache.


Regards Mr.Coffee and the " I thought i looked there before" Coffee Clan.

Nice little park and a great hiding spot. Found it with Vicki.
Thanks, crank1, for yet another cache. Smile

A quick find, but a few muggles about to make life a little difficult.
 
12-Dec-10
This was cache # 5 of 24 for the day around Cranbourne and Narre Warren. I recognized the area straight away, I spent a fair bit of time looking for a previous cache here, thankfully this one gave up after a short search. My thanks to crank1 for the cache.
 
27-Nov-10
A very late log I'm afraid, having just completed a thorough reconciliation of finds whilst out on adventures with Cached and/or Robtas - slacky Wacky missed just a few (cough cough)
Many thanks crank1 from the Wacky one Cool

Over from Adelaide to pick up some numbers with the Wackys. Had a great weekend. Sent the young wacky in for the grab.

Found @ 1015.

Found with ggkof on a lovely Friday caching adventure. I'm sure we'd been here before for another cache back in the past. No matter, found this one easily.
