I cannot see any information that suggests to me that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement, therefore I have no option but to archive the listing.

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 and 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.

I noticed the number of DNFs and came down to check this out, having found this cache many moons ago. Unfortunately it appears to be missing. It is not in the place where it once was, and a brief search of the area could not reveal it either.

### **MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###
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 and includes regular visits to the cache to ensure it is in proper working order, especially when a seeker reports a problem with the cache.

Your prompt attention to any log that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers, have a read here: [Cache Maintenance Guidelines.](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.** This Help Centre article tells you how it can be done; [Temporarily Disable and Enable.]( http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 )

**Please respond to this situation by 19th August 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 indicating 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 and archived without further notice.

**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.

Geoboy and I couldn't get a close enough fix on this one to narrow the search. The playground is where we ended up.

I think this one has been smuggled. May need replacing or at least a check by the owner.

Went on search, but couldn't find this one.
Will return another day assuming it hasn't been muggled.

No luck here today.

This was my second time looking for this cache, still no luck. Looked for over an hour, every nook and cranny, every spot the cache could possibly be. I'm know for sure I was searching in the correct spot. Maybe next time.

No luck on my first attempt...was sure I had the right tactics, just couldn't spot it. Looked all up & down both sides of the tunnel slope, couldn't sniff it out. Tried looking from the tunnel entrance, thought it might have been a mag on some of the railing...nope!

TBC!!!

Out and about on the hunt on this warmer night with geowife and brother. Tftc couldn't get it open for the life of me.

Tftc found with geobrother lukie1987. Couldn't get the lid undone as per the others

Found with Julius Pomepi and Tom Sheehan

Very clever, well disguised, couldn't get it unscrewed to tight

Thanks Angus Molden

Great cache. Quite clever but was unable to open it. Maybe bring some oil with you.

Had me thinking where it could be. Saw the terrain rating and knew where to look for it. Very creative and clever cache. Warning: do not do this when its raining!

Quick find for me, and in the obviuos place when I found it.
TFTC.

found but didn't have pen on me

Very nice hide. I love these clever ones. Not just hiding a container under a log. Tftc

Very clever. Great cache!!

On the way home from the airport so we were looking for a quick drive by close to the freeway. This seemed to be the one for us and so a quick diversion off the freeway and with plenty of local parking all we needed was the cache. The terrain told us where to look and the log was soon signed and we rejoined the rat race, or should I say freeway traffic. TFTC and the welcome time out.

Geomums find for the day in her crusade for a year.
TFTC

Found it! Very clever! Log needs replacing...

Found it, really well camouflaged, first one of these ive found!

TFTC

My first geocache and it took me a while. Unfortunately forgot a pen but will return soon to sign. Thanks to combust4 for placing this cache.

Tftc

I had worked this out last week and today I was out and about on the bike in the right area so I decided to grab it. My geosenses were on fire. I noticed this very clever hide as soon as I got to the GZ. TFTC.

Very tricky... )

Nice one, Although we found it quick.
TFTC

About to give up when I spotted something that maybe, might be, possibly & was!! Very tricky!!

Nice hide. Lots of cyclists though they all seemed to have the aforementioned tunnel vision and showed no interest in me. TFTC.

Suscoe's 5th find of 29 for today as we wandered around the Eastern suburbs.
It was a wet start to the day but the rain turned to drizzle and then it stopped with a heavy sky and no sun for the day.
Not many folks out walking today with the weather the way it was.
A quick walk and then a quick find.
Thanks to Combust4 for a nice hide.

My first stop for the Rail Road series with McWillid. We searched around for a bit before we started looking at a different area and soon found the cache. A sneaky and well-constructed hide. TFTC!

Clever piece of engineering which kept us on the hunt for a wee while......

Find #692

Tarbit had gone north for an Xmas Eve lunch so I jumped on the bike and cached along the bike trails with some small diversions from Richmond in a south easterly direction. This was my seventh find of eight on a beautiful afternoon to be out and about. After some tough ones I was pleased to find this relatively quickly. I had a feeling where it might be and luckily the coords led me right there and the cache was soon in hand. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited a TB that I picked up in the city last week. Thanks for the cache Combust4.

Nice little hide. Watch out for bikes. Thanks for the cache.

went there yesterday and looked around for 20min ... nada. read the logs and all the tips but no luck. decided to come back today and got it straight away. great camo

Coordinates quickly took me into the general area. There were a couple of muggles in the park but totally enamoured with their buggles (baby muggles) with no interest in me at all. Most bike riders were heading into the city so didn't even see me. Standard techniques quickly showed something out of place and lead to the signature and return of the log. Nice one and TFTC.

No luck today

Sneaky hide alright! I've crawled all over on this one before. But I was always at the wrong angle. A last glance in the right direction did the trick. Clever hide... TFTC

Too hard for us im afraid

A sneaky hide. Took me a few passes to locate it. Tftc

A quick find to keep my cache a day on track, that's two days in a row now, only 6 more months to break my record.
Thanks for placing this cache to give my life reason for one more day Combust4

Now, where to tomorrow. Hmmm, Tahiti sounds nice...

On a cold lonesome midnight jaunt, found this one after heading too far down the tunnel and realising that bare cement walls do not make a good cache hide. Exited, reevaluated and found the lovely crafted cache without any hassle. Thanks for this one! =D

caching with friends from U.S. first geocach experience. great fun!

Our first find in Australia and our 400th find overall!!!

Had to look for a while with our friend Duby, but found it after a little searching....her first find also!!!!!!

TFTC

BSJ spotted this one and Geo-LMP grabbed it. SL TFTC

Bucket St James, Ladybug826 and I are visiting here from the US for a few weeks. This was one of the many we found today. I have admit driving to all these caches on the left side of the road is a challenge, but I safely got back to our hotel at the end of the day. Tftc!!

I spotted this one! Woot woot! Great hide, I can see why this one has so many favorites. Almost did get run over by a bicycle while searching, lol. Thanks!

I needed to de-stress after a dental appointment today so decided to find a few caches. This was the last of 3 cache finds this arvo and definitely the hardest. I parked in a nearby street and wandered down the bike path to GZ, making sure I didn't get run over by the many cyclists speeding by.

I'm now starting to look at terrain ratings but sometimes I get overzealous and on this occasion I overestimated the elevation. I searched for quite a while then went down one side and up again to where my GPSr said GZ was but I still couldn't find the cache.

It was just starting to get dark, a little earlier now that daylight saving had finished, so I headed down the opposite side and suddenly spotted something that looked a little out of place on the side I had already searched. It sure helps when you look from the right direction and at the right angle. So back down I went and then back up the other side a tad. Sure enough it was the cleverly camo'd cache. I retrieved the cache and signed the log at 6:15 pm. TNLN. I returned the cache to its hiding spot and then headed home as it was now quite dark.

Thanks Combust4 for the great hide and for all the activity. My doctor said that I needed to do a lot more exercise and all the activity that I get geocaching sure beats going to a gym! [^]

After riding past this one many times on my way to work. Finally, today I had time to stop with my enthusiastic geo-kids. (school holidays here)
We found it remarkably quickly, but forgot a pen! Now I know where it is I'll sign it on my way to work next time.
Thanks.

Nice one, good little micro

Well hid. Cool spot

We were in Glen Iris to do some equipment replacement so afterwards a bit of caching was in order. Risking our lives being run down by high speed cyclists we searched carefully but only just noticed the well disguised cache at 3:20pm. The WD40 is still wet. TFTC

Took us a while and had a feeling what it was but still could not find it until....... TFTC

Found at night.
Took a little while.

TFTC

Looked for a long time with no success. Dodged a lot of riders too. Will try again another time

Hi Kirkykrew,

Yes I would take that as a find.

Will monitor and rebuild it in 3-4 weeks if this symptom continues!

We sprayed the cache with WD40 and it is now easy to open.

Tricky hide - we had to come back again to find it. But worth the effort. TFTC.

Well I am logging this as a find but subject to an ok from the owner. If I need to I will delete the the log. This was a challenge, not only to find but also to dodge the bike riders. I took note of one of the past logs and I stood back and carefully looked and I soon spotted something that wasn't quite right. I grabbed it and sat on the grass to log it but that where I had my trouble. Even with a pair of pliers from my tool kit, I couldn't get one undone. After some intense effort, I had yo pop him back in place and move on. TFTC

That's two that I'm giving up on already today.

next time

Booo didnt find it...another day

Decided to look for 10 more minutes after logging my DNF! Think my GPS was off for this one! Geo buddy has an awesome eye an spotted it! TFTC!

Looked for this one for about an hour! Definitely could not see anything from the ground or once I was up the hill. Will have to come back to this one I think!

Disappointed kids!

Great hide!

We came across junior GC's and found it together.

Very hard

Found it, was a very creative hide, great camo.

Visiting a personal TB

It's federal election today so figured everyone would be voting, which made it ideal to see whether I could nail this elusive cache. This one had stumped me on many a visits.

I knew from previous visits and past logs that it was visible from the track so I planted myself in the middle of the bike track facing the tunnel and proceeded to scan the entire area. After a few minutes I spotted something amiss! Checked it and and OH YEAH, found it.

Great cache and so pleased to have found this one! Signed and replaced. TFTC!

In Melbourne for work with some time to spare before I had to be where I had to be. I wasn't really dressed for this terrain but I managed to get to the cache without messing myself up too much. TFTC, Biggles.

Needing a cache for Day 27 of the 31 Days of August Challenge I grabbed 2 caches on my down Bourke Road was thinking this might take some time to find as i had read some logs but i spotted it after about 5 mins of searching Sl thanks Combust4 for the caches.will give it a favourite point.

Spent a few hours trying to find this cache... Guess I am too inexperienced with geocaching thus far to find it...
:'(

WOW - what a cool find - this was definitely our "catch of the day". Loads of muggles on bikes, so be careful. I knew from reading previous logs that this was a sneaky hide, but don't do what I did and start checking the used spray cans littering the area... hmmm maybe I shoulda brought a rubbish bag? We were overjoyed at finding this one. TFTC.

Great camo - love it ! look at all angles TFTC

Found this one today. I had previously looked for this one with Irontoad and also by myself. Today I came determined to clear some previous DNF caches and managed to locate the cache very quickly by stopping and looking before I went searching. Accessing the log was a different story and I thought it might require tools from the car so back it went to the car (while I was puzzling my head as exactly what to use - I wasn't sure I had the correct tools to access this cache). During my puzzling I managed to drop the cache and at the same time managed to loosen it enough to open it without tools. Signed log and then took it back to its hide and onto the next cache in this series. This one gets a favourite point from me for the clever camouflage.

Thanks for the cache Combust4.

Out checking on a couple of my own caches this morning and I saw this on the radar and decided to give it a crack. I definitely got my morning exercise as I climbed up and down the goat track at least 8 times trying to search from every possible angle. I thought I knew what I was looking for and I was right but that didn't make it a quick find. I tried so many wrong ones before finally getting into the right spot to see the little bugger and then I ran back up and made the collection. I'd given up at least 3 times and even walked half way back to the car before my stubbornness got the better of me. Persistence paid off and I can leave with a smile. Great cache, thanks for the challenge.

Late logging of these caches - nearly forgot them!
This was a fun series of caches and very good hides.

Another good job on the hide.
SL TFTC

Yay!!! Finally... Definitely worth looking from all angles!!!! Thanks for a brilliant hide!!!

!Go! & I walked through, around, up and down the tunnel. Then we found something that looked out of place yet blended in perfectly. Heaps of cyclists here, I enjoyed standing above tunnel watching them zoom through. Clever cache Combust4!!

We loved this one!

This was found in one of the first places I looked, unfortunately, not the first time I looked there, such is the trickiness of this cache.
Two_Drews and I arrived late at night (muggle free) after attempting a nearby night-cache, and following an ever-expanding search we were at the point of giving up and logging a DNF. With a different torch in hand I was persistent enough to take one final glance about and there it was staring me in the face.
Thanks for the challenge here Combust4, and the handiwork in the caches construction. I've found a couple in this series now and look forward to doing more soon.

Found while on a nightcaching run with GazaC. I've done a few in this series and all are of high quality so I sort-of knew what to expect here. After much looking around we were about to give up when GazaC said the magic words then did some simian moves to make the retrieval and replacement. Thanks for another quality hide Combust4. It was too late to do the other nearby cache in the series so we'll leave that fun for another time.

Giving this a favorite and a 4/5 score.

(Rated 4 out of 5 stars with [url=http://www.gcvote.com]GCVote[/url])

First one of the night with Whyt Knight and this one took forever. We searched high we searched low we searched far and wide without any luck we thought we had it a couple of time but they turned out to be incorrect about to give up we gave one last scan of the area when bingo there it was. Annoyingly obvious why didn't we spot that earlier TFTC

Took quite awhile to find this one but reading back through the previous finds helped alot.
TFTC

Replaced with new log a few weeks ago but have not had time to enable. Will do some more work on the rest of the series over coming weeks.

New log ready to go!

Been interstate a lot of late!
Will replace the log this weekend and get this one back in shape!

Had three of us hunting high low and oh so slow, but no joy.

Not neccesarily needing archived but if log is in such a state for so long, a check and some maintenance wouldn't go astray

The log is very wet and needs replacing,
Cheers [:x]

I was here for a while, but yeh i finally got it.
the log is wet, i signed the best i could,

thanks combust4 [:x]

Log full but a very clever hide. Make it a FAV. TBs paid a visit to this one.

Walked toward GZ and made an educated guess as to where the cache would be and where it wouldn't be. However, the GPS lead me on a wild-goat-chase up, up, around and over which made me think the cache hide might be something very different. However after spending a good time searching - and consulting the past find logs - I eventually went back to my initial idea and spotted the well crafted, well hidden cache soon after.

Thanks for a creative and interesting cache - even if the search for it was a little frustrating at times (my/GPS fault).

TFTC but we didn't log it because it needs a new log sheet!

Needs new log desperately! TFTC
