Unfortunately, I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore as advised previously, the cache is being de-listed (Archived) to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

The [**Geocache Maintenance guideline**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains what needs to happen with a Disable cache.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article [**here**](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

If you wish to contact me please send an email via my profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

I notice from one or more log entries that this cache would seem to be in need of some help - **there appears to be a need for owner intervention.**

The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) I cannot see any log that indicates a recent visit by the CO to this cache.

As the CO, if you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235)

The cache is being temporarily disabling 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.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) within 14 days, so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?**

You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:

- Repair and/or Replace your cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.

- If you don't plan on fixing it up then please [**Archive it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.

- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (within 14 days). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will unfortunately have to de-list (Archive) the cache on the basis that it has been abandoned.

Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

Cache in good order however, there is no possibility of anyone in a wheelchair getting near this cache. I was on my knees in the mud to retrieve it.
The Difficulty and Terrain Ratings are both inadequately stated and the wheelchair attribute is misleading.
 
25-Jun-17
Imagine our surprise when we discovered that The Welder had just been here.
Found, after a thorough search of the structure.
A nice sized cache is always good to find.
Home time I reckon.
Need to wash the mud off my knees.
Found at 22:15 24/6/17 with +Wife.
Thanks for the cache Kroinia.

#947 - 8.55pm
Emeylo had hurt her knee at basketball today and was now on crutches. And I thought sport was meant to be GOOD for your health...
Anyhow, I was in the area following a DNF in Tullamarine (strange, but true!!), and I still hadn't got my daily fix. With the Mini-Welders on board, a 1/1 is what the doctor ordered. I sought some local expertise for a cache to fill our needs and this came recommended.
This was indeed more of a challenge than I had banked on. A 120m walk in the dark was not ideal for Emeylo. The boys didn't seem to mind though and quickly set about running around on the darkened oval. Emeylo and I soon arrived at GZ where the cache eluded my initial investigations. It took a bit more commitment and thoroughness to discover this particular prize. Not exactly what I'd call a 1/1... Emeylo was no chance of finding this one tonight. But that's okay, she'd already hobbled over to the oval to join the boys while I was still fiddling about.
As we wandered back, we stopped off at the playground for some nighttime fun. It is also where The Green Minion educated me on the "speed of dirt" to describe very slow moving things. Maybe that is a good way to describe our adventure here tonight - "we found the smiley at the speed of dirt"!
Thanks, Kroinia, for our daily dose of geo-joy, and for guiding us to this neat playground.

Today was the day i caught up on some sleep, with uni assignments draining away my hours of sleep all being handed in I knew I could spend some time to myself to refresh my brain.... so today was that day. At around midday I thought to myself where would I go for the daily cache, to which my friend from rovers messaged me to see if I would come to the Carrum Downs scout hall with them for a meeting. I thought to myself sure I am keen (this cache may have made me go).

Upon arriving here I noticed that many athletes were training, with many eyes around I made sure to be extra careful upon retrieving the cache. Once at GZ the hiding place was quickly found and with a quick hand movement the cache was quickly in hand.

Anyways I would like to thank you for the quick cache before the meeting.

15-Jan-17
Started searching and got muggled out, so went and found the #3 cache at the other end of the park. Came back, broadened search area, and made the find. TB itself seems to have gone but the plastic packaging and instructions for it are still in the cache.
 
08-Jan-17
After yesterdays 37 degree caching trip I decided to wait until the afternoon after the cool change had come through before I headed out for a couple of hours today.
It was a much more pleasant 25 degrees so I decided to do a few multis and ended up finding 5 and DNFing 1 of them.
I started looking here and found nothing then some muggles appeared nearby and then some dog muggles as well so I wandered over to number 3, found that and upon my return the muggles had cleared. So another search started and this time the cache was found.
Thanks Kroinia for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Find #2294

Heading back to base from a work meeting so managed to make time to stop by here to try the two caches in this reserve. Having found the first one I carried on on foot to this area. There was a dog walking muggle who conveniently moved on and some tennis players engrossed in their game. This just left me to check the likely location and after a bit of searching I had the cache in hand. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache Kroinia.
 
10-Jul-16

Well the Mega is over and time to pack up and head for home. I joined forces with a group from SA and had a ball for four days find many caches and now the job of logging all.
my caching buddies left at 5AM this morning so after cleaning up the unit it time to grab a few caches before hitting the free ways.
This oval is undergoing a complete makeover with workers every where but where there is a will there is a way.
Thanks again Kroinia.
