Stop & Smell the roses Caulfield North, Victoria, Australia
By HarriGriff on 19-Feb-11. Waypoint GC2P0MM

I cannot see any information that suggests to me that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement - one or more of the following applies:

- Cache Owner unable to maintain cache
- 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.
- Cache has been abandoned by cache owner/cache in disrepair

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

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include GC number in cache name) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash.

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

Had a look at every metal rail inside. Couldn't find it. Maybe missing.

[u]MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?[/u]
[blue]This cache would appear 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.

Geocache maintenance is a cache owner responsibility. Your prompt attention to any log that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers, see here http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance
The guidelines advise; if you can't fix it straight away then Disable it till you can . . . . . . . and here's how; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 . . . . . . . . . . I have disabled it for you [u]this time![/u] [^]

Please respond to this situation by 3rd March 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.

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

I also could not find

This one looks truly gone now - no sign of log book or paper anywhere either, let alone a cache. I hope this gets replaced soon.

Thwarted by young, drunk muggles. Will need to try again

Returned when muggle free but could not locate.

As disapointing as it is. We did not find this one. It may have been muggled by muggles! -team JELS

Thorough search, no sign. Might need replacing?

We couldn't find it. Looked where the hint says. ? Gone

Unfortunately all that appears to be left of this is a VERY small flip book of blue pages signed by those who've found it.
It could easily deteriorate in the rain any day now...

Think it may be gone

Couldn't find this cache, not sure if it's MIA or just my geocaching inexperience. First timer here

Nice area !!
No cache box. Only paper log.
Need maintenance.
Lovely walk for lunch,
TFTC

No container needs maintenance
Great location TFTH!

Log book is all that remains and has split up all along the cache site
Great location just needs a container.
Can someone in the area being an eclipse box?
Nice work. Great cache in a beautiful park.

Found it but it needs maintenance, with smilingbob , be careful of spiders

Found with orlie7 but was found outside the container it seems to have gone missing

Looked at night in all the obvious spots to no avail. I hope it wasn't a victim of a remembrance day clean up

Found it. Lovely spring day to be in such a pleasant environment.

Nabbed this one whilst in the area playing Ingress.. Thanks HarriGriff for the cache and roses..

Easy one. TFTC! We didnt bring any pen so wasnt able to write on the log.

tftc

Found it. Thanks for replacing this hide.
Tried to find it a year ago, but, think it
Was lost.

Good hide!

This was the first of this morning's group of finds and I had a definite feeling of déjà vu at GZ despite the fact that there was no smiley in the ledger. Maybe I'd visited it last year when it appears to have been missing but this morning at least, it was a nice quick find at 06:05 (with the help of the hint that is ) so now it's a smiley.

A nice spot for a second visit nonetheless.

TNLNSL, although a couple of our geocoins had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks HarriGriff.

Distance a bit off. Says 111m even after finding it.

Suscoe's 12th find of the day as we ventured into this area.
A brilliant sunny day was celebrating everything that is good about spring.
The cache was soon spotted and the log signed.
Thanks to HarriGriff for placing the cache here, the whack of willow on leather could be heard in the distance.

Lovely spot tftc

Found it, although after that hint I would have been pretty unlucky if I didn't

Found our first cache in ages . Out this way for a doctors appointment and was early. Had no pen on us so took a picture. Thanks for the cache
StaceV 1,2&3

Nice garden. Easy find with the help of geograndson. Thanks for bringing us here. TFTC

Visiting my personal TB

Was passing through the area after a lunchtime meeting near Caulfield station. As I approached the GZ, delighted that there were no muggles around which made it a quick and easy find.

TFTC!

Third time here but my first proper search. First time previously a group of teen muggles sitting smoking at GZ seemed determined to remain there indefinitely (I returned several times over the course of several hours whilst in the area, to no avail) and the second time it was only after arriving that I checked previous logs and saw the cache was MIA and had been for some time.

Tonight there were no such issues, and while the co-ords were a little off, caching instinct combined with the torch function on my phone pointed me to the right spot immediately.

Signed log, thanks for the cache HarriGriff - it's a lovely and peaceful oasis.

Great spot!

Yay

Great spot, enjoyed a work around the park in the sun with the boy

Easy

Perfect sunny morning for a cache hunt. And so close to Einstein's, one of the best cafes in Melbourne!

Found it quickly. Thanks.

New junior cacher Isla age three & a half 1st cache. Found with her Nonie Noelle04 &
Jimmytherat. TFTC

Found this afternoon with Noelle04 and apprentice Cacher #2 Isla. TFTC.

Found. See note.

Winter no roses but cute location HarriGriff thanks. Quick find stealth of night. No pencil currently

Found at 1510 after a quick coffee break. First for a while. Nice easy find. Found by Johnny mud, Mrs mud, geosam and miss Chloe. TFTC.

Found 9th July. Thank you as we found the memorial to the Lone Pine. The cache needs a new tin. Stripling Warrior visiting from South Australia.

Nice park

Dropped into the park for lunch and thought is there a cache here and Bingo !
Quick find ,no rose to smell so of I went !
Thanks for the cache HarriGiff and all the caching fun

Found it!

Thanks for the cache!!! And for pheonixfire68 for taking me to this cache!! Lovely park,but really cold at this time of night!!!

Nice quick grab before a nearby meeting this morning. I had been here a while back when the cache was missing, so good to see it back in place. Very pleasant and away from the heavy 9am traffic. Thanks HarriGriff!

No roses in winter but the park is still looking lovely with the green all around. TFTC. HarriGriff.

An overcast autumnal morning with the threat of rain meant I pretty much had the park to myself today.
Have driven passed but never stopped or smelled ( smelt ?) the roses . You never really know what's in a park until you wander through.
Unfortunately I only had a brief chance to stroll about until my guilty conscience told me I really had get back to work.
Thanks and cheers !

I was here before and found the bits of paper left by people signing a makeshift log. At that time I didn't bother signing it and waited for the cache to be fixed. The bits of paper are still there but no cache. Eventually I found the cache in a new position. Thanks for fixing up the cache again and keeping it going. It is a great park here.

Was just about to sign the temporary log when I thought I'll just have a little more of a look and yep there it was! TFTC took the geocoin to move on

Sitting at a lovely point in a beautiful corner of the world. Spotted the amphitheatre, its quite a structure and is pretty brutal to behold. Tftc =D

Great find once we were in the right place! No pen so we went back for one but didn't leave it as it wouldn't fit. We did leave two small surprises! Keep it going!

I spotted this one as I approached from the back. Unfortunately I also spotted two teenagers sitting right in front of the cache making eyes at each other. I loitered around acting like I was waiting for someone, hoping they would get sick of me being there. Eventually I started to feel a bit suspicious myself so I decided to give it away for the day. Half way back to the car I looked around and saw the teenagers walking away, so I quickly circled back around and nabbed the cache. Thanks HarriGriff.

Sorry for the delay on this one. After an extended time abroad we are now back and will get onto our cache maintenance this weekend!

Found it. However, needs maintenance.

No cache and the remaining log will not stand the elements as it is at present.

Find #188

Found with Rose & Donbat after they treated us to a beautiful feast nearby. Yum yum.

No problem with the find but this one didn't seem quite right with it's missing case and makeshift log. We followed the lead of others and signed on the sticky notes. Unfortunately it's clearly not weather proof and isn't going to last without some maintenance. A shame as it is a lovely spot in a great park. Thanks for the cache HarriGriff.

No case, but a lovely amphitheatre and beautiful park with geese.

still no case,

Easy find, signed the log which was there (no cache). Nice gardens. TFTC

Find #546

Wrote my name on one of the coloured post it's and carefully hid them again so they didn't slip down to far. Didn't have anything on me that could keep the logs safe, sorry. Tftc HarriGriff

No cache but log is still there

It was raining slightly as it has for the past few days so there were no muggles except for some that were mowing the grass. After waiting for them to pass in their ride on mowers I searched around for the cache and soon came upon a logbook with no cache.
Put the log back where I found it though it will need some maintenance TFTC

Unable to sign log nice park

I used to live just on the other side of this park, and before that enjoyed the really long slide in the playground closer to the train-tracks. Upon arrival today there was a family using the facilities as a bike-riding-training-venue for their toddler, so I had to hang around a while checking my phone, before they left and I could make the quick find. As per previous logs, the container is missing and only the log book remains (and some remains of previous log books in the hide too).

Tftc!

Easy find!! Got pulled up by cops on the spot! Looking for a bloke with a gun, god damn muggles! Good fun though, care fellow geocaches

hectic, pretty easy. got pulled up by cops and were told there were guys reported with guns at the park. was at midnight tho

Log only. Container missing. Quick find.

Container missing. Just log book.

What a beautiful amphitheatre and a fun hide! There was only a log book at GZ and no eclipse tin however. TFTC

Enjoyed a late night bike ride to find this cache.

Found today while out and about with the Geodog. There's really nothing left here and it needs maintenance asap. Thanks for the cache HarriGriff.

Found it

It looks like the log has been lost as well

Found logs strewn about on the ground and cache was missing (cigarette in its place) - some rude person has destroyed this cache. We replaced the log in GZ but did not have a tin sorry. Greyfieldmouse

Was fun

Dope find

Tftc

Stopped to smell the roses on the way home from work.
Visited a traveller, signed the log too. TNLN
TFTC HarriGriff

An unexpected stop on a night hanging out with my best friend. Thanks for giving us somewhere to walk to!

Easy find and have a new geocacher on board!

Nice easy find. TFTC. Luckily no muggles!

Great spot!

Aggggghhhhh muggles

Aggghhhhh muggles

Easy lunch break find. Tftgc

Found it on my walk from a mates place to the station! A nice find



Nice to see a different sort of hiding place. This park has got the lot. We were lucky enough to see 3 tawny frogmouths all sitting on the same branch. The mama bird started hissing at us so we made a hasty retreat. TFTC

Misleading clue, great find. My first geocache!!

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