The Forgotten Oasis Kilsyth, Victoria, Australia
By StaceV on 15-Sep-11. Waypoint GC348JB

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.

There I was thinking a 'Lost Oasis' must be on one of the back streets of Kilsyth but I soon found out that it is on a main road with thousands of people passing it every day. I had never realised the area before probably because there is a two meter high real-estate sign in front of it. After finding GZ we quickly had the cache in hand, only to find a wet piece of paper acting as a temporary log, broken rubber and rusted badge. Luckily I had my diary in the car, I ripped one of the old pieces out and signed that instead of a log, in the car I also had small rubbish bag that I could put all the items in. After a quick maintenance fix up the cache should be all ready to go.

OWNER NEEDS TO MAINTAIN OR IT WILL BE ARCHIVED

Thanks Hoka13579

This cache has not been maintained for just under 3 months.
Could owner please maintain or it should be archived.

Thanks Hoka13579

Found it quickly which was great for us!

Quick find.... Didnt bother trying to sign the log as it is too damp!

New log required (its too wet).... & maybe a water proof cache container

Not much cover but quick and easy to grab

Cute cache. Log is quite damp.

Needs a log!

Found it. No lig, added our own

Cache found easily because I did a whole day of caching yesterday where majority of caches were like this! so now i know to look for this type of cache. Needs maintenance as there was no log in it to sign, we left piece of paper in it to show we'd found it. Found with Ozwonderdog.

a quick find, but it didn't have a log book inside

TFTC. Great spot! Clever cache!

A nice easy find for me on the way back from breakfast.

Another good hide staceV

Found with raph_hero, cheers!

Neat container, found with vk3gs tftc

Found with kiara001, neat cache container tftc

Ah the old hidden in an abandoned industrial estate waterfall trick eh? So predictable. TFTC

13th find for the day. Found it easily and sign the log. TFTC

A clever disguise!

Found at 2:01 PM GAFF3. Easy to miss this little oasis - had a bit of trouble locating the cache as it was nicely buried!
Thanks StaceV.

Loved this one very clever!!

Loved this one very clever hide my daughter found it!!

Found by Peter & Marian at 1430hrs, TNLNSL TFTC.

Dinosaurs r us! 19 October 2013 16:07 good find

We were nearby looking at back chairs and we decided to add to our tally another cache for the day.
The cache was found easily and i remember this site when it was clean and open.
Our thanks to StaceV for the cache
Regards

Took my a while to find this one but eventually the hint gave it away. Thanks

Out and about caching on a rainy day with lil geokids. Last time I looked for this there was a gardener there and I failed - my excuse anyway. Found but log is wet so put a dry paper in. Will contact CO..

This cache had us stumped when we first looked for it so I turned to the geocaching community on Facebook for a cheat. We looked in the right spot last time but being new to geocaching we had no idea this type of cache existed so we looked straight past it.
The old log is wet and pretty much moulded into the little glass vial. Someone has started a new one on a piece of paper, which we signed at popped into a plastic bag for a bit of protection.
Took the awesome Frankenstein mini figure....so happy with that find!! Left a coin and a soft butterfly. Thank you

Day 19 of the 31 day challenge - I had been here once before at night as a geocaching beginner and had no luck finding - today was a quick find and I signed a wet log book. I was also here as a teenager once apon a time when it was a seim-popular night spot tftc

Edited to correct date

Quick find, log wet. Good spot [(:)]

Looked around for ages but sadly couldn't find it

Tftc log very wet couldnt sign as had no paper on me

Took a while to find but eventually got there in the end!

You rock! Found by +Wife.

Have been meaning to take a look at this one,
Found it today,
Put in some paper after reading the log.
Pen not working and I didn't have a spare so b.y.o pen.
Thanks.

SOME ASSISTANCE! If you're doing this cache it would be really great if you could place a fresh couple of pieces of paper in it as we don't get down there any more

Thank you

StaceV (1&2&3)

Log book is wet.

On the way home but time for one more find. TFTC

1830 Km from home on day four of our "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" tour, a trip to the Mornington Peninsular (Vic) for an Ex Army Apprentice reunion.

We took nothing but memories, we left nothing but footprints.
The hide is good, the container is wet and the log is full.
Thanks for the cache StaceV

Out on a sunday drive to kilsyth thought we would pick some cache on the way . nice Oasis ,Hay make it into a on the side of the road spa and bar pool ha ha ha .Thanx for the cache StaceV and all the caching fun

Out on my first night cache run with TurnerFamilyFTG. A lot of rocks and crevices to search here but made the find after a few minutes. A may have been an oasis at one point in time but not as nice now. TFTC.

Spiffy- and I headed out for a night cache. Yep, someone must have put some effort into this rock pool only to have it fail. Nice cache hide. Simple but clever camo that suits the surrounds. TFTC

Out to grab a few caches early on this glorious Saturday morning.
Seemed just like a tropical island. Nice hide. Log is full.
TFTC StaceV

Another great cache. Log full and instructions faded out.
TYFC!

Found on a morning run after a stopover at the Rebel Acts & Crazy! Nat Girl's place.
Nice quiet Sunday morning and hardly any muggles around anywhere.
Another quick find and off again. TNLNSL TFTC StaceV,
Roostaman.

17:21
Our focus for the day was the engagement party event, which I barely made the tail end of... still worth the trip to congratulate the happy couple. Now it was time to see how many more caches I could grab while in the outer Eastern Suburbs for the evening.

This must have been quite the entrance back in the day...

Ignored by the traffic, I was able to make a quick find, and be off down the road in no time. Cheers.

Finally found on the third trip! With wild1

Great night found 4 tonight with wilds 234 this one was a good challenge

Finally found it. Took me a while in the dark but got it eventually!
No room left in log so I signed a bit of paper and left it in the Cache.
Great hide defiantly recommend for night a Cache.
TFTC

Another good one recommend for a night Cache.

We dropped by here after a scrumptious lunch at a nursery/cafe in Montrose. We parked in the nearby carpark and wandered over to GZ. Being a public holiday weekend (Australia Day), the nearby businesses were closed so there weren't any muggles about, just lots of passing traffic. The GPSr jumped around a bit but thanks to the hint, and that I'd seen several containers of this type recently, I spotted the cache easily, retrieved it and then signed the log at 3:45pm. TNLN.

Thanks StaceV for the bold and well-camo'd hide. I'm glad I came at a quiet time as I imagine it's muggle central most other times.

Ha ha good little hide, I looked at it in its camo a few times before it clicked. TFTC

TNLN TFTC

Definitely a dry oasis today-damn, I could do with a drink too!

Geotess found this one. TFTC

Found this cache a while back with Benji__3 and forgot to log it

My second go at this one. As happens so often, after spending a goodly amount of time on the DNF, this time it took less than a minute! And it isn't that hard- you just have to be in the right place.

Good hide

Good hide

Bit of a ninja find at night this one. In fact I recommend going for this at night to make it easier to hide. If I saw someone in here (and wasn't a cacher) I'd probebly think they're a bit special lol. Cool little hiding spot though. TFTC - Heno

Know the area pretty well I came back again cause the pen didnt work haha.
Really cool cache! Love it.

I remember the old top shots saloon bar spent many nights hear

This was the second of three StaceV caches tonight.
Still looks like an oasis but it definately forgotten.
Thanks StaceV love your hides

I thoroughly checked out that righthand pool and can guaranty that the cache is not there! Thanks StaceV.

Found on the way home from a family gathering way out east. Clambered over the rock pools for a while before spotting the hide at 6:35pm.
thanks StaceV

Found with my cousin, which was his first geocache. Cheers!

Found @ 17:40 while out caching this area tonight. Took a little while to find but spotted something I'd seen before that just looked a little different. TFTC SL

Parked off the main road but close by the GZ, geo son quickly spotted the container and we promptly, well I did, signed the log. Thanks StaceV for the cache.

Found with Physics and CamBendy

Found 14.10.2012 @ 00:50
Find #475



Full log to follow.

Thanks for the cache and the fun!

Poker tonight is at bergersau's place so CamBendy, PKK... and I decided to cache our way home. This was no. 4 for the trip. CamBendy made the find on this one. I cannot think of a PT history story for this cache ... sadly. TFTC.

Haha I remember when this burnt down I liked this place

Can not believe that this was so difficult on two previous visits - probably because the description implies a larger, different type of container. TFTC.

Not sure what was here in the past, as long as I remember it was just cycling through random clearance places. A fairly quick find by the Moose. Thanks for the cache.

Good little cache
But I don't think the previous finders actually put it back in the right spot as it was a little way from the coordinates, but with a little searching it's easy enough to find. We put it back where we found it

Found with Nen9

Found 14:35, we found the cache lying out in the open, and were planing to leave the cache as we found it, but as we were about to leave spotted the camo devise and returned the cache to what we presume was it's proper location.

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks StaceV.

Long search - just as we were giving up - found

Found it after a short search. As with Bounty Trackers, I was unable to sign the log.

David.

After finishing my job in Mt Evelyn I decided to grab some more caches on my way home before it started to rain. Log was unsignable so took a photo instead. Thanks StaceV for the cache.

Following on from last weekend, we came back for another of stacevs hides. Under cover of the geo kids playing on the rocks, we made the find. Tftc. and happy birthday

located after a short search and waiting for one muggle to slowly walk past. tftc

This was our first Geocache... Wife and I went out for a walk and was guided by the GPS to the cache. We took some time to find it... then heard my wife call out "I found it...!!" Very nicely hidden well done.
Think the cache pen will need replacing, but we had taken our own to write.

Found after an extensive search in all the wrong areas. Spotted in a spot I hadn't noticed earlier. great hide. we used to frequent this spot prior to his fiery end. TFTC

Out for the day with geomum.

2.00pm

This took far too long, as I was literal with the hint.
After expanding the search a fraction, it was seen immediately.
Thanks agin StaceV for the cache, and the story

Tough find but when i saw the cache it was so obvious fits in very well to its environment, signed very small log .Thanks again StaceV

Found this with fenby. Great hide. Definitely love the StaceV caches

6/6 late log to follow

Could not get log out, but was a quick find. TFTC

log replaced (thanks Ga Ga) but still coming up as needs maint. So just fixing that

Its a rocky road to get here, but a great oasis when you arrive! Nice one StaceV TFTC !!

Arrived late in the day for a quick search and soon had cache in hand.
