One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

CO hasnt been active on geocaching site since october 2013 cache has definately gone.

Return visit and more thorough search, no sign. Needs checking. Been too long.

Didn't find

Found this one a while ago, can't find it any more... :/

Hints didn't help much, couldn't find it after 3 of us looking hard.

Looked but alas could not find

A whole heap of DNF's and what looks like an inactive CO

We sure couldn't find it after a good search before we realized and looked at recent logs

Out on a caching adventure with some of the Geelong/Lara crew to grab a few smileys before another Flash Mob in Geelong

Not tonight =[

6 teams no cache. Needs to be looked at

No sign

Not a very good description of location or of geocache. May need to be checked incase weather has altered location

Last weekend I noted that I had found this cache. That is NOT the case, I actually found the Botanica Springs Entrance set by the two wanders. This log needs to be amended.

Was in a bit of a hurry so didn't spend a long time looking. Unfortunately for me, no luck today. Will bring the geokid back next time as he would look less conspicuous.

Out with the 2 wanderers on a caching day. Thought we would check this one out. Cache is at the GZ location and in tact. With the help of the 2 wanderers we replaced the log and put a new one in. Took nothing else. SL. TFTC

Just a note- "leave here for Lols" I think it may have been moved

Found it JTJE

Not sure was in original spot, but certainly is now!!

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

Found @15:57 #3392
On approach to this one there was some young muggles sitting not too far away, however far enough. Once at GZ a quick glance had me spotting the cache out of view from muggle traffic but open and contents exposed. So retgrabbing the cache and contents the log book was signed and this time sealed and hidden from view as intended.

I was out and about today with my caching mate SedgwickDave. The main mission was to attend the Intervening Days VI event and also to find as many caches North of the Western Freeway (M8) as possible.

We thought we were going to be muggled out as there were two girls walking ahead of us and took a seat where I guessed GZ was goinf to be. Dave was determined to give it a go, so using his best ninja skills walked to GZ where he found a cache open and spread on the ground. He signed the log and returned the cache where it should be.

Thanks to ausdynamix for the cache. TNLN

Nice and easy

TFTC my 9 yr old daughter found it really quickly, she loved the fact it was a swap container, thanks heaps

First find, great well lit area tftc.

found with jade03479

Good Hyde out with geo kids
Thanks for the nice walk

We went down to this cache today and it is certainly gone so we took the liberty of replacing this cache. We are pretty sure the CO doesn't cache now so will keep an eye on this one to keep this cache going in Melton. It is still at the above co-ords.
I will contact the Ump about what I've done. We found this cache ages ago so know where it was or should have been.

Noticed this one was up and running again so headed out today to find it, we had tried for this one before without any luck but today we were lucky. We wanted to get one on the 13/7/2013 and we did it.
TFTC

Very nice Hyde took me sometime to find this one well done thanks

back for a second look.... think it has definitely been muggled

searched around, and under bridge. along rails in grass and around logs... no sign of cache

hope someone has not taken it ... will try another time in a few days

Spent quite a while searching here - a nice area.

Easy find for my 5yo. TNLN. Bit damp inside the box...

Yayyy!!! First one!!

Last find for the day. Easy find. Tftc.

TFTC

Some kids cleared off as I approached, a really easy find and then off I went down south to the train line.

On the way to the local grocery shops after a Lazy sunday of caching which quicly escalated to an insane 22 cache finds, we decided to make a short detour to pick up some caches in Botanica Springs. A very quick grab, cahce seemed to have migrated to a plain view sight, replaced behind some bridge structure, TFTC

Nice easy find. Amazing that there's a swimming pool here. I can't believe how far out this area has developed. I still remember when brookfield was brand new. The park and creek walking areas are well maintained.

Found today in the company of dutch frangipani during a blitz of Melton. The log book is a bit moist and might need replacing.

Great little area for the locals to enjoy

Thanks for the cache ausdynamix

Found with SorceySal today - nice and easy with no muggles about today except the three tennis playing variety who moved on quickly

7661 caches found

cache a bit exposed, quick find

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Thanks ausdynamix for the hunt today

Some dog walking muggles were nearby but all good! Easy find right where hint said TFTC

This was, cache # 16 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. Second cache in a row that was just sitting there in the open. My thanks to ausdynamix 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!

This was a very easy find, as it was clearly exposed for all to see. thanks.

Visiting close by so, I could hardly drive past and leave it. A quick pick up, once there was a break in the muggle traffic. Log book, is quite damp, but nevertheless it was signed. An enjoyable area to stop by for a smiley. Thanks to ausdynamix.

a very quick find because I wasn't expecting the hint to actually to tell me exactly where it is.
The only thing that slowed me down was the I wasn't sure if Left meant looking onto the bridge or off the bridge.
I did look under the bridge and saw that kids had been here and then I feared the worst. But another quick search had me signing the log book.
It is a nice little park.
Thanks very much for bringing me here.
Cheers

Had a roundabout drive to get here, what with the roadworks nearby.....

I was surprised at how nice this spot is. Water and bird life... Didn't expect it.

Wasn't too hard to find. Interesting hint, from what viewpoint is it on the left?? Looking east or west!!!

Cheers gordo

Wordyalot, Poseidon_2002 & geokid's last splash, great experiences with my mom, hope the trip is safe back to nv USA love you heaps... TFTC

Nice little place and a nice little walk.

Cache was very easy to spot and possibly a little too obvious, but it was in very good condition.

Many thanks for the cache

Not sure why my log didn't complete, so will try again. This was an interesting log and challenged my abilities. Still think someone had taken it, as it was an easy find. Had been there three times and nothing. TFTC and if it was returned between my visit, thanks for the return. Wordyalot USA

Found with fluffy rabbit at 6 quick and easy great place to take a stroll

Fortunately, the other people near here were out of sight of my search... one of those finds that took longer than it should have to locate.

Found at 1:15 p.m. Right near my home. Have just started geocaching so was pretty excited. This was my second find in half an hour! Thanks ausdynamic.

Found on a very wet and cold afternoon. TFTC ausdynamix

Found @ 16:15hrs during a day caching in Melton area.TFTC.

Found it easy

Found at 10:21. This is a nice new area and would be a busy little place around spring with all the locals using the facitilties. Nice quick grab to get our total of 6 before heading off for one last one. TFTC TNLNSL

We had a small spare sistema container so put ziplock bag in it and added a few more items. Good hide, had to be careful of muggles walking in area on a lovely sunny afternoon. We made sure cache was well hidden again. We had not been to this nice area before and we were amazed at how much Melton is expanding! [^] TFTC ausdyamix

No container anymore. Just in a ziplock bag.

Good spot, nice area. TNLN. From Awesome Foursome @ 2pm

Found him easily, if the cache is a plastic bag,then all is OK. If not,then it has been pinched. Thank you ausdynamix.

A quick find this was and before I new it I'd spotted it.

Not sure if it's in the right spot but a nice little area it was.

TFTC

Found at 1420 hrs whilst trying to add some smilies around the area!

Nice quick find! Did have an idea as to were it would be, but it did take a few minutes to locate! Not a soul around here today with the exception of two yapping ferrets. I mean small dogs!

A nice little park area! Had a brother who lived around here for a little while a few years ago! None of this was here then!

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing

Thanks to ausdynamix for bringing me here!

A very nice hide - well executed.
Upon walking towards GZ it was obvious where the hide would be BUT no so easy to spot. Tucked away nicely and made easy to get too.
Thx for the hide ausdynamix

Had a look for this cache a few weeks ago with my daughter & friend who owned a GPS, didn't have any luck, but today went back with The 2 Wanderers and I found
the cache tucked away. So I have found it!! This is fun, especially when you have luck.

Nice little wander to find this one. Thanks for the hide.

Good find

Also found with Grandson, in fact he found it.TFTC. TNLNSL.

Found ok TFTC

First one with grand son he loved it. left calling card

TFTC

Once again had to wait for muggles to go but got the cache signed it and left TFHC

Found with crazy creelsz after a geo event

Absolutely deserted around here today, I can imagine that at certain times it must get very busy around here.

We had a vague idea where the cache might be, but had to get down closer to confirm.

we could see where it was, so we quickly retrieved the cache.

Following the noise and chat of the Intervening Days event, this was a very peaceful spot. Even the people using the tennis courts were very quiet.

Found today after Intervening Days IV on a caching run with Rabbitto and The 2 Wanderers. Last find for the day before heading to Maccas for a hot chocolate then home. SL TFTC Last time I was anywhere near this area the closest building was the Christian School and that was only 2 portables then...boy has this area grown!

We found this cache at 7:15pm as the final of 24 on our Intervening Days IV - Melton Cache Day in company of Kinkell1 and The 2 Wanderers. At least this one had a nice bridge to cross the creek. After the find, we all retired to Maccas for hot chocolates and coffees after a nice day out. Thanks from D & HA B-A.

Found at 3:01PM. A great day for caching following the Intervening Days event.

Found in the company of coley_babee prior to 2011 inaugural Intervening Days event.
Very quiet around these part this morning, didn't take us too long to spot and retrieve the hide.
Thanks ausdynamix for this cache.

Find # 3434 and 5th of the day @ 1:02 pm. Had a day out by myself today to do a bit of caching !! Easy find. TNLN, left my mark in the log, Thanx Ausdynamix....

Nice one - it was helpful no one was around today. Thanks ausdynamix

Took agers to find as I stood around for agers and waited for a pair of young teenagers on the playground to leave. They didn't so I drifted over to gz and sat down with the gf trying to look like I was relaxing, found it and logged and finally got out of there

Found in the evening with Matty_j_senator and ConnorG.Easy quick find, TFTC
