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.

I don't know if this one has been updated or but could not find even with the extra notes from other logs. I think this one needs to be checked

[u]MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?[/u]
[blue]This cache would appear to be in need of owner intervention - 9 consective DNF's on a DR1/TR1.5, 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 [u]any[/u] 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 rule is; 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 - [u]I have disabled it for you this time![/u] [^]

Please respond to this situation by 16th January 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]

Could not find it. Even after scrolling through comments and finding the groovy blue man on the pillar. Needs maintenance?

Did not find yesterday with NGOLDY1. Sorry forgot to log it!!

Could not find it I'll try again another day

searched high and low all over the place - not able to find

Coords were out so used other coords provided in log. Hint makes no sense. Future finders check big concrete support. Thanks for bringing ne here.

Scrambled about but no luck here

No luck for me here today

10min look with no luck

Found it. It was lying out completely exposed so we just tucked it away out of direct view.

Seeing that the coordinates would have popped me right in the middle of the canal and that the terrain difficulty didn't reflect this at all, decided to check through the logs before scrambling about anywhere. Found someone posted the correct coordinates, and I found it nearly instantly. Check at S 37° 46.122 E 144° 56.282 rather than the given coordinates. TFTC, some nice street art there!

Me and my two JRT's had a good time finding this one

I certainly did not find this cache in the first place I checked, or the second or third for that matter. Eventually it dawned on us that we needed to reposition ourselves, and very soon had the cache in hand.
THank you very much for placing the cache to bring me here today. We wandered up stream a little and checked out some of the artwork. These vandals are so talented!

I wasn't sure what I was in for when I came down here to look for the cache. We started off with an elevation far too high to make a find and then found the way to GZ where we searched all manner of things before something caught our attention and there it was. After doing the log signing we decided to have a look around at the paint works and discovering a couple of 'artists' doing their thing. Thanks Anjelika&Brian.

Found on a day out caching with abl & gaz. Thanks for the hide.

Found it thanks to the odd hint in previous logs! I didn't sign the log due to a lack of writing implements. TFTC Orroral

Well I found the blue man but no film canister

Found it with the previous comments thanks

Found it with the previous comments thanks

Found it! Kylie and Shannon ❤️

TFTC! Found using some of the clues left in these logs... lots of swaps, so left one and took one:)

Thanks for the cache and the clues.

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

My GPSr was putting me elsewhere also. There were skid marks over the rail and signs that others had had trouble also. But with the supportof the earlier logs I realised how close it was. Left a marble for the kids. TNSL. Thanks for this little rippa Anjelika&Brian.

Have put swapables in to keep kids happy. Fun hide and love the blue man.

Great spot. Nearly missed the Blue man but then realised we weren't looking hard enough. Have put some swapables in to keep the kids happy

When I finally extended my search (W) there it was lying in the open. I put it back where I think it came from. Thanks Anjelika&Brian.

Very frustrating last time I looked. But this time (now the cache is back in place) I knew the possible hiding places and found it quickly. Thanks to the hiders, and the blue man.

After been puzzled by where gz was we tried another tack and quickly located the cache after narrowing down the possible locations. The cords are quite a bit out for future cachers. Tftc Tnln sl

Find 1025 at 20:27. I was out caching with Burge tonight on one of our usual night caching adventures. We decided to target a new area on this trip and so we were heading out towards Melbourne Airport and grabbing caches along the way. All up we found 21 tonight and this was find number 7.

The coords seemed a little off for this one and after reading a couple of prior logs, we extracted an obscure hint that allowed us to locate the hide about 10m away. Thanks for the cache, Anjelika&Brian!

It took me a few minutes to realise where GZ actually was, and then a few more once I was at the correct spot. Nonetheless I picked it up with relative ease once my torchlight found it. An enjoyable bike ride in the end - cheers!

Having not been able to find this cache last time, I saw that there was now a chance. The container had fallen out from its hiding spot and the log was missing. I added a new log to it and popped it back in a spot that matched the hint. Thanks for the cache.

Found with Trailrunning on another Monday caching adventure, Another nice weather night for cachng. We found a mixed bag of caches tonight, from tricky hides, The Numbers were not many as we seem to have a long distances to travel to find a few these days. I was with a previous finder who confirmed it was gone, he replaced the container for you. Thanks Anjelika&Brian for the cache.

Couldn't find it .

Struggled. Although the blue jazz player is still there, I couldn't work out the secrets in clues from others.... Hope it is still there.

No luck locating the cache today. Thanks for the hide.

Like many, I scramble, jumped, got wet, slide, wobbled and scraped.... Where I think it might have been, it was, alas, not...
I also used my phone, which had a merry time of watching me pace back and forwards up and down as the interference reigned supreme!

Hope to try again at a later date.

Spent a fair bit of time on this one searched high low over and under. will revisit next time

Nearly didn't find this cache...it was me against the fast draining battery of my Iphone 3G. I found myself scrambling and sliding all over the place..up down, left, right, over, under, sideways, upside down *lol*. In the end I worked out a rough patch of where it would be based on co-ordinates provided in the other posts..this helped but alas my Iphone..I am a Noob but I really do need to get a proper GPS unit because the compass on the Iphone is so stuttery. Anyway, Iphone then went dead and I was about to pack it in, but decided to have one last look - I sat down (in a different spot)..and examined the scenery once more from this new angle..and then my eye caught the location. This took me quite some time to find, but I am pleased to report "Found it" . TFTH.

Edit - Found at approx 3:15pm

Nive night for a walk with baluke. After waiting for bike riding muggles soon had log signed TFTC

Yes these other coords are better, with them entered our frustrations eased by celebrating a find! Thx 9pm

S 37° 46.122 E 144° 56.282

Returned with even more hints on where to look, and assurances the cache was still to be found. I knew the exact spot to look and so it was all over in seconds, giving me the chance to look at some of the nearby street art like the blue chubby Jazz singing guy.

Great hide, however the GZ as per the cache coords are off. After climbing from the bike path, hopped over the creek, up the other side and hunting through the area (while trying not to slide down the slope), I checked the logs and found the better coords.

What a fantastic hide! Went right past on the bike path a couple times haha

Had a good look for this with no luck. Found the lid of a film canister...

Finally!

Found this one tonight with Littlemerpip. We used EuDes coordinates and then cached. We were almost about to give up on this one when Littlemerpip found it. Cache is fine and hence does not require archiving. We signed log but there was a silver thimble thing in the cache which didn't go back into the cache container when we put it away.

Thanks for the cache Anjelika&Brian

Out for an afternoon caching with kmace and we were passing this one so decided to give it a go. After parking on Dawson St had my usual quick check of the logs and saw one find amongst a heap of DNFs and nearly just moved on. Decided what the heck, let's give it a go. Walked down to GZ where the GPSr wanted me to go down into the creek which "was not an option" today so looked around all the likely spots, even climbed a bit. Reviewed the clue which highlighted another area of search but still nothing. Checked some logs which mentioned that others had success with eudes's coords so found them and had a another go and this just confirmed the hint area so started looking everywhere there. Had just about given up when I looked in one more spot and tada - the cache! In perfect condition. So I am including the eudes coords in my log so future finders won't have to go all the way down to his log to get them! Thanks to anjelika&Brian for this one, no its not a pretty spot but it is interesting with the concrete creek, freeway and two paths passing by.

I crawled, I climbed, I searched high, low and wide and I couldn't find it. I tried for a while. I went down into the concrete bit - the deepest area - and even climbed up the embankment. I looked for AGES. This was my second ever cache hunt so I was a bit disappointed.

Didn't manage to locate the cache. Difficult to access GZ which is not an ideal hiding place

Didnt have a pen sorry guys!

Searched the area for a half hour, with no luck:(

No luck with this one. Maintenance required for sure.

Owners haven't logged in for 5 months, no response to the fact that it needs to be maintained.

Needs a better hiding spot, sounds like it keeps getting dislodged and being washed away. There's a few trees in the area that you could hide a small or regular sized cache underneath

Had a long look on the 15/12, wasn't able to find

Didn't find it, checked with a few different PAF options who had previously found the cache, nothing to be found there and I had an exhaustive search.

09/11/2012 12:28:18 AM After a quick find at The Brown Out Strangler I headed a bit north as I had some spare time and this looked like it would be quick. I parked in the side street once I drove over the bridge and made my way into the park. The OSM maps showed a track and in the dark it was hard to spot but I soon was on my way to GZ. A all have said, the GPS is all over in this location. I eventually tried using the coords from EuDes but was definitely not on terrain 1.5! After hunting then reading logs it was clear the first place I had looked was correct so made my way carefully, back to GZ. A short hunt and the cache was revealed. Nicely hidden now and hopefully wont float away or get muggled. Signed the log and was on my way. Only heard muggles once but they were on another level and so I was thankfully alone here for the hunt and find. TFTC Anjelika&Brian TNLN SL

Thanks to EuDes log, who seemed to have a more accurate co-ordinates, I was able to locate today.
However, found just an empty camera canister with nothing in it.
Anyhow, I had a few pages spare in my notepad that I tore off and placed in the cache as a makeshift log.
TFTC

No luck today, but I did find an empty film container and lid at the logical GZ, after which I didn't try too much longer. Would you mind checking if this has been muggled? Cheers!

Found it on my second attempt. The first attempt I ended up on the wrong side of MPC and it was a long walk back. Took about 5min to find because I was looking in the wrong spot. My first cache!

Good hide. Tftc

Maybe was a little tired, looked in the same spot multiple times and just didn't get it. Thank goodness I had iron spire with me to double check my checking and we finally got it. TFTC!

# 754. Another one found on our afternoon riding along the MP Creek. Luckily my fellow rider was braver and had a much longer stride. He leapt across the narrowest part of the channel and went hunting. He found the container had fallen from its hiding spot and was just lying on the ground, ready to be blown away to roll down to the water. Thanks for the hide.

Was very close to giving up, was actually walking back along track towards car, and decided to just have a quick look here, bingo!!

Love a grovelly spot like this.

Cheers gordo

Sorry about the late log - completely forgot to log it earlier, and my partner in crime (PrincessDiala) is months behind with her logs so couldn't remind me. This cache had been disabled when I downloaded PQs, but was live again when we got there. PD found it. TFTC

Trying to catch up finds from months ago, apologies for the belated log.

On a caching outing in the company of lochb.
Approaching dusk now, and we were not too keen to be wondering the bike paths in the dark so called it quits right after finding this cache.

Thanks Ankelika&Brian for this cache.

Quickly realised we were on the wrong level so found a way down. Plenty of muggles going by on both sides of the canal, so this one took far too long including scrambling around in the vicinity, but not on the GZ. Eventually we found it tucked safely in a nice little hide. Thanks for getting it up and running again.

New Log and cache replaced

Disabled temporarily for maintenance

Started on the wrong side of the stream (not much water at the moment) so i had to go around to the other side. Once there i found myself searching all over the place, GPSr was having trouble due to the structure, so i took a few minutes to read some previous logs. After reading EuDes's log i tried their co-ords and this resulted in a quick find. Took far too long for a 1 star difficulty cache, but got there. TFTC.

Our first cache ever. We actually looked around where it was FIRST THING but didn't see it at first and so we spent about twenty minutes looking around until we finally went back and gave it another look and lo and behold we found out. There was nothing but the log when we found it but i left a little something. We had so much fun we immediately went looking for another cache.

Hi. This was such a cool place!

2nd attempt on this one.
with the bridge. my G.P.S was bouncing around.
thanks guys. [:x]

I made my way here after working nearby, however as I had another commitment I didn't have alot of spare time, so after a quick PAF (thanks SirJoz) to determine the correct start altitude I soon had the cache in hand.. Somehow in the rush of the find I managed to leave my pen in the car, however I did take a photo with the Garmin. I'd tried this one some time ago, however I was looking elsewhere, and watching some kids riding and jumping and thus didn't get close enouh to find it.. no such muggles were present at this time of the night. thus a quick find was possible. Thanks Anjelika and brian for the hide.. Find # 2453

Made it harder on myself by forgetting how many bridges to go under. GPS showed my error. A fine hide on my favourite local mtb route.

Well hidden but GPS coords spot on. Signed log. Kids expected some stuff to exchange but good first challenge for us.
JLSH.

TFTC... at first i was thinking 'how am i supposed to get down there' from Dawson st. Once down there had the cache in hand quite quickly, however the co ords are a bit off. dont know if its my GPS or not

Found @ 15:25 after a post egg hunt stroll from my brother-in-law's place. My second visit here - the first was pre egg hunt with niece in tow, but we took the wrong approach, then had to get back (as I was a bunny helper). I then had to make a third visit again with niece to show her the hide, we might have a budding cacher brewing there...
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and took a much quicker way back to base camp. Thanks for the cache.

Nice hide

Nice quick find on my way home from orienteering. Not at all smelly or salmonella-y but interestingly there is a bit of that going round at present. TFTC.

Started on the wrong side of the river, so had to take off the shoes and get the feet wet. Still no luck and decided to text a friend and just as I pressed send, I spotted it. Saw the sheep ( two of them)as I was heading off to the next one. TFTC

10.25 One my own today while Mr works on a project. I took in the view first before I realised that I needed to go down. Retraced my steps and I soon was on river level. Some days are better than others and this is turning out a better day for me. Lots of water rushing by today due to all the rain we have had. Nice easy find.
Thanks for the cache.

Doing a bit of maintenance on the other side of the river (which was flowing very well today!) when I passed this cache. I finished my checking in a few kms and crossed the river, and made my way back to GZ. Found just before a dog walking muggle passed. He just remarked about the hot weather (I was sitting in the shade sweating after a long ride). Rehid the cache, and I was off agin.
Thanks, Robmc.

GPSr was having a bit of a muddle like a few others before me. Instead of being too confused I turned it off and used my Geocaching zen to think. Funny then that the place I went to sit down to do just that was actually where the cache was hidden in the first place.

Got it this time. Love the graffiti nearby. Tfth.

Found on the re return much easier during the day tftc (19.07)

found it... a bit smelly tftc

Mmmmm nice groovy position

Number 6 of 8 on my ride home from work tonight. This one took me quite a while to find - at first I was on the wrong side of the watercourse, then I was at the wrong elevation for the cache, and then I searched all around (obviously not closely enough) before I resorted to a call to the EuDes Help Line (only $9.99 per 15 seconds - that's "mates rates" ). The little blighter was finally in hand - but only after a Buddhist monk strolled by just before I went for the retrieve. Thanks Anjelika&Brian.

Found quite a distance from where the GPSr was pointing, after reading previous logs. Cheers!

Found very quickly.
The "creek" is flowing!
TFTC

Approached from the north and saw the chickens so knew I was close. Lots of potential spots. I wondered if this one might be, over my head, but found in obvious spot.

Suscoe made the trip up to enjoy the vista.
Just about what we expected.
The cache took a little while bit when we looked there it was.
TNLNSL.
Thanks to Anjelika&Brian for bringing us to this unusual location.

This was the second of two tonight where the coordinates seemed to be out by quite a way. The given coordinates had me very close to a spot that matched the clue but alas, there was no cache to be found. This 1 star hide was fast becoming seemingly quite underrated . Having watched, and scared off, some graffiti vandals [:(!] on the opposite side of the creek, I was about to give up for another day when I spotted something unusual about 14 metres north-east of where the O3 kept telling me the cache was and I was finally logging the find at 19:40.

The structure directly above the cache probably plays extreme havoc with GPSrs so maybe that's why my reading was so different but I've included the numbers I took for future reference: S37° 46.122 E144° 56.282.

TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks Anjelika&Brian.

No time to check out the chicken's or shee today.

The log was quickly found and signed before I moved on.

TFTC

Second time looking or this cache, and it was all too easy when my boy turned us to see it within the first few minutes, not in the original spot we thought, oh AUSTIN DO BEHAVE! cheers anjelika&brian!
