Hi there Cache Owner,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **possibly** needs some attention. You may recall having received an automated email from Geocaching HQ which explained what you needed to do.

Unfortunately, nothing seems to have happened, so the cache is being temporarily disable - see here: [**Geocache Health Score.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713)

**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days,** so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.

#What you need to do:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache** - once checked, place an Owner Maintenance log and then enable the cache.

- **Place A Write Note Log** - indicating a date when you expect it will be restored.

- **Adopt Out or Archive** - depending on whether you want it kept or for it to disappear.

Full details for each of the above choices can be found at [**GEOCACHE MAINTENANCE**]( https://wiki.groundspeak.com/display/GEO/Victoria) on the Regional Policies page.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of the above. Well, when the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned. [xx(]

It would be far better if you decide, so please do something before then. Please don't send an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

cache could be missing due to the string of the DNFs

I thought I could find it but I was wrong sadly did not find

Searched for about 5 minutes, thought I would have had the spot but no find.

Looked for 30 minutes and could not find

Got the hint and very appropriate after not finding this one. Not sure what I missed, will keep a watch and return if it presents itself.

Could not spot

No luck from me!

No luck with this cache. Had the whole
Place to myself.

Went on an early morning walk with friends and luckily there were no muggles in sight. A lovely find, TFTC!

Very easy find

Tick

Visiting from Port Macquarie.
Chinatown was quiet this morning so could search without muggle interference. Cache was found easily even though the hint made no sense to us.
Lid is missing and log is dry but rather full.
Thanks for the cache

Fairly quick find after wandering up the lane. Visiting from Brisbane. Tftc

Came here about 3 years ago and made a DNF. Now with a bit more experience I found it. But still had to search for a while.

I AM GUR

Out visiting Melbourne today while the kids are at school. Took a little while but used my geoskills to find it. Needs a new log. TFTC

A quick find up an interesting little lane. TFTC CamBendy.

Took me a while

Sadly didn’t took a pen with me today The street was very calm at the time

I was about to say “bet 50 it was mugged” too late no 50 for anyone today??

Nice quick find, log full & cache missing its lid

A full log and it's missing its lid, but apart from that, no problems here. A QEF while Adventure Lab hunting. TNLN- TFTC!

Confusing hint, even with googling assistance. Much time searching, eventually a photo in the gallery gave the game away. Another Melbourne CBD cache checked off the list.. thanks..!!

Tftc

A quick easy find, though didn’t understand the hint ???????. The container appears to be missing it’s lid and the log book was very full and slightly damp

The hint was confusing

nice

Staying in Melbourne to see Mary Poppins and then going to a dance competion. I have now finally found my first Melbourne city cache. I am always hesitant with city caches because there sre so many people around but this one was ok. The log is very full though. TFTC????

Took a while, did not understand the hint at all but!

Thanks for the hint and the quick find.

In the city for a conference and I thought I would collect a few geocaches while here. Obviously this was one of them. Collected a few early and a few after the event. Pleased that it was a lovely wintery day and still surprised how quiet the city is a peek hour compared to 5 years ago. No way would I have tried Melbourne City Square geocaching peak hour then.

Too many visits to this geocache. But strangely enough, I found it quickly in the first place I looked today. A place that I had checked multiple times over the years I've looked for it.

Thanks for the cache Cam Bendy

This was a tricky one to find. Worked out the hint and hunted all over. GOS was bouncing around. Searched the same place twice and eventually found it.

Last find on a productive early evening of caching around the eastern edge of the CBD.

Down in Melbourne this weekend, and was out and about on a glorious Saturday, still buzzing after watching the mighty Tigers down Geelong at the G last night. Was fairly close to Chinatown so thought I’d go and check out GZ, fully expecting it to be overrun by muggles. But alas…this was a haven of solitude within throwing distance of the madness of Little Bourke St.

Looking closely at the coordinates in combination with the crafty clue made this a surprisingly quick retrieval at GZ. Signed the log and replaced it where I found it, before rejoining the throng of revellers in Chinatown. Thanks for the cache!

We checked twice but didn't find it. It might be inside the Supper Inn restaurant, but it might not be operating any more.

DNF

The hint didn’t add up till after the find despite being big fans…doh. TFTC!

No luck

No luck

Chop sticks
I'm hungry now.
Thanks for the cache CamBendy

Found by the family

This is one city cache that doesn’t have you going around in circles. Found on my way back from an eye specialist appointment. TFTC

so tricky, but we found it!

Great detour while out in the city - thanks for the hide!

Cheers

No pen on me to sign.TFTC.

Great little side lane action ??

Watched the end of today's ANZAC Day clash at a gorgeous local pub, then walked through Chinatown on the way back to the train station. Quick find at GZ. Lid is missing but cache and lid is nice and dry. TFTC!

no clue

Honestly no clue

I'm there and can't find it.

TFTC stood back, looked and waited for muggles to finish unloading. No lid but nice and dry.

A qef on a quick trip into Melbourne. Previous photo helped tftc

In Melbourne for the weekend so I thought I'd do some caching. A quick grab here tftc

We found this cache on a morning walk through melbourne grabbing some caches, quick find here today! Cache is lidless and log pretty much full…

TFTC CamBendy

Tftc CamBendy. A train trip yesterday to see Wil Anderson and also the Adult Magic Show in the Spiegel tent. Motel overnight and now some free time in the morning.
Could not find this when I looked 3 years ago. Better luck today thanks to a previous log.

Happy to have someone else put their hands where I don’t want to

tftc

It took ten minutes

THIRD TIME'S A CHARM!
This is the cache I started on, and almost finished on but I kept persevering with a lot of help from some (1 especially) visual hints.
I had the right idea but just got perplexed a lot.
So very happy to tick this one off finally!!

Found it, it may need some attention from the owner! Log almost full too.

Revisit to my first cache attempt - it still throws me! Does not help when one of the nearby tenants comes out to ask if they can help me with something, it really puts the pressure on!
2nd DNF, will retackle eventually after a break.

During the races picked up sime caches, thnx for the cache

Another found .

Tftc

Tftc, first find in Melbourne! Cheers Alex and Jessie

Out geocaching with tweens and teens today. TFTC

This one took us a little longer than usual, was in a place we had already looked but as usual retracing our steps was answer

Nice find whilst out caching with riotgirlckb

Didn’t take too long to find this one. Tftc!

Had to wait for some muggles to leave

Find # 11874

Found while spending a day in the city with sharkiefan.

Wow got it first place I looked.

TFTC CamBendy

Lots of searching and found just as we were about to give up! Thanks for the hide. Log and lid need replacement.

Enjoying some more city sights and a special birthday today. We tried for this cache a couple of nights earlier but were surprised with the number of muggles visiting the nearby restaurant and accomodation facility. On our second attempt a bit earlier in the evening was still super busy at the moment with a group of teenager kids on an evening excursion. Even an old man started busking on the street/alley corner. After a very careful hunt and Aquire we were able to sign the log and replace without suspicion. Love these tricky to acquire caches in bustling Melbourne. TFTC

Found it!

Thank youuu, this laneway was filled with homeless people tho

Found after a second search!
TFTC #2385 Schratzl & Schatzl

Found it! This was a quick find on a second attempt. Cache is need of a new lid unfortunately.

A nice quick find on a morning stroll around the city TFTC

Found just as I was about to leave, it’s always the way, squeezed my name into the log

Found it, tftc!

✓ Kurung thanks you for the cache!

When my baby's walking down the street. how could someone wicked walk around free?

Hmm... But what could that mean?

After a long DNF slump on this Geocache, today I decided to smash it out fearless, I planned a path between a few DNFs to knock them all out, and so far it's been a success.

Walking up I had the same problems as many of a large muggle group around the GZ. This is where the good old, acting dumb and lost plays it's way. I decided to appear a bit grumpy and zoom around my maps before sitting down to "concentrate". Ahh.. perspective change. Just like a baby walking down the street. Spotted something out of place immediately and went into retrieve mode. A parked car helped me obscure what I was doing from the group and be on my way.

Thanks for the cache, feeling great to have smashed out another city head scratcher.
