### **MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###
A basic tenet of geocaching is that the cache log needs to be signed to record a find, see here; [Logging of All Physical Geocaches.](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#logging ) At the moment this would seem to be extremely difficult if not impossible to meet that requirement in regard to this cache.
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 check/fix it straight away then Disable it till you can."*** see here: [Owner is responsible for visits to the physical location,](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance ) and here's how; [Temporarily Disable and Enable,](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235) also check out this Blog: [Helpful Tips To Keep In Mind As A Geocache Owner.](http://www.geocaching.com/blog/2015/03/you-hid-your-first-geocache-now-what/)
Please respond to this situation by **25th May** 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; [Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [Temporarily Disable and Enable](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

On the way to the Mega with 6hinemoa2. A great two days of caching and catching up with friends. A great event that was very well organised and so much effort put in by the organisers. A great variety of caches and placements. Apologies for the generic logs as I couldn't remember each and every one.
Out with sorceysal for the weekend attending our first Mega Event at Casey Fields and of course a few extras around the area.
Decided that this was a very nice part of Melbourne and will be back to check out more caches in the area in the future.
Wondered about the T rating but having read you cache page I can see why.

Plans were made with the FurfacesLL ladies some time ago to attend the Melbourne Event before it became a Mega. We had a fly in fly out weekend arriving Friday lunchtime and heading home Sunday afternoon. Within that time, we managed to squeeze in quite a bit of caching and we were all pretty exhausted by the time we got home.
A nice quick find at this one, we are starting to get into rythm for the weekend
Cache located, log book signed and cache returned. Thanks for placing this cache for us to find coley_babee

We planned to attend the Melbourne Event when it was first published, and so a whirlwind weekend trip was organised. A lunchtime flight from Canberra got us into Melbourne in time to collect a few smileys on the way to our hotel in Beaconsfield.
Our weekend was filled with collecting lots of caches and meeting new people. Swapping lots of pathtags and seeing the sights around this lovely area.
Our departure time was late enough to collect another series before leaving the area. Thanks to all the cache owners for placing the caches and the organisers for the event. We look forward to returning at another time.

Out today with Roostaman and lgoody. Thankfully the rain was absent today and we could cache and stay nice and dry. Lots of variety and lots of cool containers. Appreciate the effort!
Thank you %owner for placing and maintining this cache.

Out tonight doing a few drive-bys in the area. Fingers crossed I might hit double figures which will be a nice start to why normal 50 a month target. TFTC.
Out with some borrowed geokids that we are minding. enjoying a day out. Nice easy cache as we watched the train go by. Tftc
Nearly got bitten by some weird spider/earworm thingo the size of my thumb, but worth the find
Great cache! I took the trackable, it will be going a long distance very shortly!!
Our first track able to find. Decided to leave this for a keen traveller. Such a cute track able. Thanks for the search guys!!! Can someone tell me if you have to have a track able to take a track able? Thanks.
Today I headed out to get the first Geocaching Road Trip '15 souvenir for a cache with 10 favourites so I decided to head down the freeway and find one to get it off the list and then just continue on free styling where ever it took me to fill in the last few hours of the day. I ended up way up in the state forest past Gembrook.
I parked in the station car park and there were a whole 3 cars there at dusk on a Sunday. Just as I arrived a train from Pakenham pulled up so after that had left I made a nice easy find.
Thanks coley babee for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

Thrilled to have sighted a trackable, we are very new to this, therefore left it for someone else to move on. Great spot in a quite Sunday morning. Thanks for the hide
Nice easy one to do after dropping geokid1 at school on the way to work. Thanks Dropped off a trackable, maybe it will get a train ride soon.
Found and strangely for a train station not a soul was around

The next person to come, bring a note book. There's probably only room for one more signature
Second visit. Got it. Not that hard really. Had a bit more time with no-one around. Glass paperweight in, plastic crocodile out.
Meant to be a quick grab & go. Just not looking in the right spot I guess. Will try again'
I used to park under this tree when I worked for the wreckers, we found it from the car and hid it a bit better. Memory lane on this one
Pretty easy to find. Not many muggles around which is good, certain times it will be busy but at the time we did it, not many people there.
After two nearby DNFs and driving past another that I couldn't park close enough too with a sleeping child in the car, I was rapted to be able to drive up to this one under the shade of a gorgeous tree and have a quick search for this. Just what I needed: a nice easy find! Thanks coley babee for the cache.
With light rain this morning, we ventured out in between showers to grab a few caches.
No muggles at the nearby train station, and we parked close by for an easy find.
Many thanks for placing this cache, coley_babee, for us and others to find.

Thanks COLEY BABEE!

After parking about 5m from the cache I was able to see the hide from the car. Just made it to the cache before the rain started. I haven't been in this area in over 5yrs. Not much has changed. Tftc tnln sl
I was way off in the wrong direction, finally got back on track thanks to Spottyteapot.
Found with team traveller after walking in the wrong direction and thinking the trains power lines were playing havoc with the GPS!
Quick easy find

Found after driving around all day doing a nearby car rally event. The others went to the motel to have a beer but I still wanted to cache until dark.
After a 2km walk I got to gz and found the cache quickly. But no pen. I have a photo of the cache but couldnt sign the log. TFTC

My first one I thought I would do on the way home from school drop off I have no idea I thought under a rock?
The area was completely deserted when we found this one. Just as we signed the log and put it back a train pulled up. Good timing. TFTC
YAY – found it today while travelling home from the SA Oz Mega Event. Thanks coley babee for setting up this cache. Another stop and opportunity to stretch the legs while heading home towards Gippsland. Great co ords and quick to find. I hadn't realised that the Officer Railway Station was located in this spot - thanks for showing me this area. Thanks again, signed the log and continued the journey - only an hour to go, on the home stretch now
I had heard of Officer station but had never actually been here until now (if it wasn't for this cache, probably never would've). Quite an empty place with no muggles except for one driving a truck who left quite quickly. The cache was nice and easy and didn't take too long as trains only come every twenty minutes. TFTC
Not sure about the "many people" bit as according to a PTV study over the last 6 years, Officer is the least used station after Wattle Glen (not including stony point/Melton services). Maybe geocachers will increase that number

Took the old hwy through this area so I could grab a cache or two, or three lol. Neat hide and good co-ords. Thanks coley babee for the hunt.
Found on our "Making Memories" Tour of mainland Australia.
Today we explored Pakenham and surrounds using geocaching as our guide.
Found in the obvious spot. TFTC

In Pakenham to meet up with our youngest son and family, who have just moved into the area. A scorching hot day, waaaay too hot for muggles... and a struggle for geocachers. We waited til the train left before we hunted for the cache. Fortunately the co-ords were good and the find did not take long
