This cache appears to be missing and the CO hasn't acted on the N/M log so it seems that archiving is required.
This cache is still popping up on my map, despite all the DNF's and the owner saying he will look into it, that was 4 months ago. If you can't get to the cache either disable or archive.
No clue where it is, shrubbery has grown excessively so now it's a tad terrifying.
[I'm not saying it's not there because Ive been back a few times over the last 6 or 7 months and it's been found in that time. Given this, and the number of logs indicating how easy this was and how the GPS just led them to it, just goes to prove I am probably not taking the right approach to this one. I think the clue may need work as I can't see anything that resembles it.
Has a look around today. Unfortunately we failed to locate it. Might have to return another day.
Couldn't find it on this occasion. Hope to have better luck next time I drop by.
Spent quite a while checking as many hiding spots as I could, but eventually gave up. It must be well hidden cause I looked almost everywhere, especially around the tall ivy as per the hint. As its been nearly 2 months since the last find, I will wait a while before I try again.
Lots of tall ivy, not sure how far to venture into the bush, the grass has been mowed here recently but the undergrowth has not. The clue didnt help, silver?,Ivy is everywhere.
might try again if someone else finds it, will watch log.

We went for a walk with friends in their local area. Searched around a bit amongst the ivy before realising we needed to look for tall ivy. It wasn't long before we then found it. Great Camo. TFTC.
Went for a Cache hunt with Nature Dragon and Winniekids. At first we searched through lots of ivy not finding anything. Then after re-reading the hint we starting looking for tall ivy and bingo we found it. Unfortunately I sat into a nest of 1 inch bull ants when signing the log and got sufficiently stung. Despite that I loved the camo. TFTC.
Had some troubles with the gps jumping about and with plenty of possible hiding spots this one could of taken a while. Soon caught some thing from the corner of my eye and bingo! Nice work Gosden, thanks for the cache.
i found it on a bike ride around the area of diamond creek it was one of the many for the day
TFTC lucky it was bad weather so not many muggles about

Found at 12:10pm after hunting around for a while and using the clue. The GPSr was bouncing around a bit so it took a little while to grab. Nice camo job.

First hunt for the day after geoson's swimming trials at WaterMARC. This looked like a good close one so we found the park. Whilst wandering down towards the creek we surprised a kangaroo, surprised to see one here in the middle of Greensborough. Then we resumed searching, with not so much luck, even with the hint. Looked at a few past logs and as someone pointed out 'go to the right'. Not sure if coordinates are quite right, so follow this advice. Well camouflaged, although when geoson laid hands on it part of the container dropped on his foot, making it obvious we had found it. TFTC! Another day down in our August souvenir hunt too.
Nice cache. Only took a minute to find but was a nice little cache. Thanks Gosden for a nice cache. PIPPAESP

A nice fun find while hunting some caches around Melbourne.
Was searching slightly wrong area when a friendly local geocacher at the park with his family told me to try more to the right!!

Suscoe's 5th find of 11 on a sunny warm morning in this area.
We found our way in here and trecked to GZ.
Cache was soon found, signed and returned.
Thanks to Gosden for bringing us here.
Looks like it is hard waste collection time in this area, wish geelong Council could do the same.

Found it, nice hide and in good condition. Lots of spiders out tonight.
Well constructed cache Coords were a little out but the geotrail made it pretty clear where we'd find this one. For 60 years my grandparents lived just round the corner from here and places like this demonstrate what a great area it is TFTC

On a busy day an effort was made to find an treasure that had been too hard on a previos attempt.
What the bananas found was something almost identical to another recent find. Are the owners related our is it that good ideas (re hides) just get copied? Well done and know that this one is in great condition.

V nice hide for your first. In good condition, park quiet after Aust day celebrations.
Spent so long here on a previous visit, I must have been 1 metre away from the cache multiple times, but told myself 'no need to look there'. I followed Eric's log and that made the discovery of this cache incredibly easy. Thanks Gosden for keeping the hide going!
Found with Crazy! Nat Girl, Not a fan of caches so close to playgrounds, but thankfully this one was empty today, I just followed the goetrail to find the great hide.
The way it was hidden was amazing and a nice park. Easily the best idea i have seen.
As other have noted, the coords had me in the open area so had to resort to the hint, the cache was then found after looking in a few possible spots before the good camo was seen through! Nicely done, thenaks to Gosden for this one.
Found @19:50
Like others gos had me out in the open, so I resorted to the hint and had the hide in my hand promptly. Well done on the effort!

The bananas found ourselves in the open and today would not be their day.
Even looking at the clues did not help as we thought we had found a muggled hide.
Too good for us today. Perhaps next time.

My GPSr had me in open ground so I resorted to the hint - that made it a rather easy find if you have seen this sort of camo before. TFTC.
Great hide. Neat construction. Checked out a few of the ivy laden trees as my compass was going haywire. Then looked down and there it was. Easier than it probably should have been as it had come apart. TFTC
Nice camo and easy to find.
A suggestion though..........could do with a magnet to hold the container in its camo.........it easily falls out when tipped downwards to leave the "hint" showing up.

Good hide with a nicely disguised little cache - thought I was going to have trouble with this one as my GPS was leading me away from where the prize actually was.
Looked for ages for this one, however it was night time and I couldn't pick out the object mentioned in the hint. My torch is pretty good but possibly not good enough to pierce through so much ivy. I made a few futile fone a friends, kept looking but never got there.
Really liked the clever camo, but was fortunate that there were no muggles around, as I found the co-ordinates were sending me into the open where I knew it could not be. Thanks Gosden
Visiting family in Greesborough, and happened to mention that there was a cache some 250m away.
Well, having been introduced to caching some time back, the family gathering had to go find it.
The mob, with dog, decended on the area and the cache was found shortly after amid much picture taking and fanfare.
Thanks for the cache and entertainment.

The sun finally came out for a few moments today so I slipped out of the office at lunchtime to get something to eat, some fresh air and a cache. I parked the car close by and then had a nice stroll to GZ over the wet grass. Nobody in the playground today as it had been so cold and wet. Thanks to the hint I quickly located the innovative hide and then signed the log at 2:30pm.
TNLN. Thanks Gosden for the cleverly crafted cache. Nice camo. Also, thanks for bringing me to this lovely little urban park. Unfortunately I couldn't spend too long there as I had to get back to work.

Found with nirgalagrin... now I have my own account.

Playground-hopping with the little one.
Our last stop for the afternoon... My pint-sized companion was pleased to have a swing while I searched, then wandered down to admire the nicely crafted camo as I signed it.

Nice camo - a bit of work there. Looking in the wrong spot at first. Felt like I was on show so I was happy to sign the log and move on.

2nd try in daylight this time was a lot easier to search. Very nice container hide. This cache was planted on the day our daughter was born so we're happy she found it with us
Found @11.30pm
Find no 12 of 22 for me on a night cache run with stemicmitsar
Loved the camo on this hide
Thanks Gosden for this cache

Found @ 11:30pm, find # 1434.
Out on a night caching run with waffle eggs, this was the tenth for me for the night.
We took a walk down towards GZ, we were looking to go to one area then changed to another, once there it was a quick find of a nicely constructed hide.
Thanks to Gosden for this cache and the nice piece of work.

Popping in and out before picking up the kids at school, I only had a few minutes, and with iPhone in hand, rather than Garmin, my GPS signal was a bit dodgy. I too resorted to the helpful hint. Nicely camo'd!

Nice and quiet here today. Co-ords spot on which made for an easy find even with the excellent camo! Great job. TFTC
This is my second time to this one. The first time I spent 15 mins looking and then a ranger came on the scene so I moved on. Today, it was a walk up and pick up. Excellent little hide.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
Found this one fairly quickly with the GPS taking me straight to GZ tho I did have to check twice. Great camo. Tftc

On my way took work with 10 mins to spare.
The gps was all over the shop here.
So resorted to the hint and the cache quickly logged.
A nice little park and a good effort with the cache.
This one earns a favourite from me.

I needed a park to keep the kids occupied and this was one I'd always been meaning to visit. Oh,.... and is that a cache over there
It was great weather for a bit of a play on the swings and then a bite to eat.
Cheers Gosden, thanks for the great work on the camo.

So much fun when I found it, almost gave up! So cool. I am new to this so this was a cool find.
Whilst shopping a B'borough Plaza, GeoBel and myself thought we could grab this quickly. Parked close, turned on the gps and walked straight to gz. Was a bit nervous about rummaging through ivy to find a cache but there was a faint trail around which gave us some clues to look. Then we spied the silver ended log and saw the well crafted cache. SL and returned cache to its hiding spot. TFTC.
