No response from owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note.. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 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'm 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 30 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 month or so to keep everyone up to date.

Over 4 months and no reaction from the cache owner - not even taking the cache offline to stop people pulling up before they realise that it is missing.

Mia ;(

I think this needs to be checked!!! Council has done some work around this area

Could the cache owner disable this till they can check on it

MIA I think

This is missing I think, could it be checked please?

DNF. Another one to add to the growing list.

Ariwa's photo does not take in a proper search area but the result is the same!

Like others before use the Co-ords had us in the grassed area, so search the nearby trees without any luck [B)]

No cache here....

Like the previous two logs, I couldn't find this one either. Given the amount of ground maintenance that has been done recently, grass mown, tree limbs lopped and shrubs pruned and the extent to which the mess created by that activity has been cleaned up, I suspect that the hiding place, the cache and its contents have gone through a large mulcher and are now 'decorating' a garden bed somewhere. I hope the CO checks this one soon.

Co-ords didn't seem to point to anything that looked like the hint. Had a good look around and couldn't find it. Maybe the owner can check on this one?

The GPS was jumping around a bit in this location today, possibly due to the storm clouds, but I looked in a number of likely spots which were consistent with the hint, without luck.
Looking at the logs, this one used to get found every few days, but it is now over two weeks, so probably worth an owner check.

Quick find for this one while on a bike trip. TFTC

Found on my way to pick up Roostaman for a days caching around the area, Made it before the footy crowd arrived. TFTC

Found it, no geocoin
Took red dart end, left Patrick
Log signed thanks

so what if it's blowing a gale!

TFTC & the cricket ball found by Pooks SL @ 1500 hrs

Managed to find and sign despite a rather loud game of footy going on. Grabbed the actual 2 coins that were here. Despise ppl who don't pick up properly despite it being over a week now....grrrr....

Chilly wind blowing today. The rain appeared to be keeping the footy fans on the other side of the grounds. Paco's coin missing.

Easy find despite the Muggles scooting around.

Nice easy find on a beautiful day:) Dropped off a few TB as well. TFTC Kroinia

No one playing cricket in the rain TFTC

Found while visiting some shops in the area.
Nice quick find & no muggles around.
TNLNSL TFTC,
Roostaman.

Nice little place to hide! Thanks

Nice and easy to get to, SL TFTH

Quick after work find

06-04 3rd find of the day at 12:49 and 1401st find in total.
This one wasn't hard to find with the all the log book pages all over the ground. Replaced the contents & signed the log.
(''\(OoO)/'') Thanks Kroinia for the caching fun!

Football day - I am not keen the football but love geocaching... Nice walk and signed the log. no one notice me.... Thanks Kroinia.

This one was an easy find after retuning the GPS to correct an EPE error. Had no luck with the other two though, and so after spending about 15 minutes at each we headed off so we did not attract too much attention. Thanks for the cache Kroinia.

A quick find in a good traditional spot. I drained about 30 mm of water from the cache but was happy to find the log still nice and dry. So closed the zip lock tight again to weather the oncoming winter. TFTC SL

Found @1820 #1263
S 38° 05.186 E 145° 11.431
This was the last find on today's Labor Day cache run and this one was out by about 13m and it was thanks to the hint which allowed me to focus my search and in fact a quick find. Found the other in the series the other week, which leaves only 1 more to find. TFTC Kroinia, left blue marble.

Great area. Thanks for bring me here.

Another quick find in the obvious spot.
Thanks for the cache Kroinia

thank for show me that place

Nice park for a walk picked up sydney the koala bug. TFTC

easy find no stort yet droped of sydney the koala bug

We finally had a chance to get up here to do these Reserve caches and were met with a relatively deserted reserve for a Saturday morning. Luckily for us the sports season hasn't started up again as we just saw a couple of muggles training and not nearby. Cache was found quickly. TFTC

Good clue very easy to find.

My usual Monday night caching run was delayed due to the recent Christmas festivities so I was able to squeeze a cache run in on the following Wednesday Night. As I was finishing Parallel Universes (GC38VRA I bumped into Littlemerpip and we decided to catch up later in the evening and hit a few caches to the south. We came to collect all three of these caches at the reserve and we were successful after short searches on each and dodging the local muggle traffic and mini-bikers. Thanks Kroinia for three easy pickups on a nice walk around the reserve.

Out on a run with Trailrunning, wandered to GZ where there was nowhere to hide anything, wandered to a more likely hiding spot where the cache was easily found, about 14m from the published coords. Thanks to Kroinia for this one

Find # 636 Found @ 2330Hrs

This was the other cache i found on my Frog Napping Mission To-Nite.
A nice easy find after i had a look around for where i would hid a cache,
As the GZ coords were quite a distance away from where i found the cache.
My GPSr was reading 11m with a 4m EPE.

Continuing on our quest to find a cache a day to see how long we can keep it up for and hoping to get to 500 days this was day 484. Again with feeling of de-ja-vue we pulled up another different location and headed off to another part of this sporting park. Fortunately there was no one making use of the cricket nets today and again none of the other facilities were being used either. The GPSr needle guided us to gz for another nice easy find and again our name has been added to the log
Thanks once more Kroinia for these three caches

Nobody in this part of the reserve this evening. Can see that at times there may be a high level of muggle infestation. Thanks for the cache.

Another Pentium powered cache in this area. Lots of cricketing muggles around here in the early evening but I don't think anyone cared about what I may have been up to "admiring the cows".

There was no one here to observe the hunt for the cache which was just as well because the GPSr was pointing the Chief and Nano in a completely different direction and it took them a minute to reorient themselves and for their caching senses to kick in. The log duly signed and we were on their way. TFTC

Arrive near GZ with crank1..
Pretending watch the game of crickets by young boys while crank1 sneak out to find it.
TFTC

Caching day with whitepaws9
back to home on way.
few muggles there to watch their children practice cricket. I sneaky and found it.
TFTC

Quick find - first of these on a stroll through the reserve. TFTC

Quick find with Dunko on a cache run before
the quick drop off at the airport TFTC SL

Found with Slink1 while working my way to the airport TFTC SL

Had to extend my search radius by 10-12 m but then
it was an easy find.
TFTH. Signed log.

Tftc, and for the pencil! Great series right the way round this great local space ! Great to have caches this close to home!

Found @ 6:32am, find # 1145.
This time it was a slight detour on the way to work,
The gates were shut at this time of the day, but it wasn't very far from the outside, made my way to GZ and make a quick find without any trouble.
Thanks to Kroinia for this cache.

Found with my caching buddy and best mate Blacklegend on another of our night cache runs, as we do every two weeks now. It was a nice mild night, perfect for caching and we had a bucket load of puzzles on our list for the night.
After meeting up with Marshy and grabbing a few caches up North we were heading south to start a new puzzle series when some new caches popped up. We had just ledt Safeway in Somerville and decided a FTF chase would be fun. We raced up to Carrum Downs and decided which one we'd try first, knowing that other cachers would already be on their way.
By the time we got there we could see some likely suspects just leaving GZ. C@H and Starruby. We chatted then got the cache then chatted some more before heading across to #1 then onto #2, joined by Kallyhaunts by now.
Thanks Kroinia.

*FTF* with 2 uniformed police officers in tow I made my way to where the GPS was pointing, not exactly to where teh cache was but close enough to find it thanks to a good clue. Starruby made the find in the first place he looked when he stopped looking at his GPS screen. Thanks for another cache in a park I considered putting a cache in many times while flying my RC planes at the oval. Soon Blacklegend and Quasar3671 turned up followed shortly by Kellyhaunts fora mini event. TFTC

Feel free to use the averaged reading I took.

Found on another legendary night caching run with my best mate and caching buddy Marty (Quasar3671).

After stopping in at Sommerville Safeway to pick up some supplies, and just about the head out to do the Walenators mystery series down Flinders way, got the alert for two new caches in the Carrum area. FTF chase? Could we beat C@H to the FTF? As it turned out no... But we only missed it by about 90 seconds by the look of it when arriving near GZ.

Saw a few likely suspects walking back from GZ, turned out it was C@H and Starruby. Nice to meet you Starruby. Stopped for a chat and completed the joint STF. As we were finishing there, Kellyhaunts turned up as well. Nice to finally meet you as well Joe.

TFTC.

**FTF** with C@H

Was out and about with a colleague who likes the sound of this caching caper. #3 and #2 popped up on the alerts and I wasn't far away ... why not, we say!

I knew Covert would be onto them quickly - almost in his backyard. Arrived at #3 to find the new Covert-mobile present. Flashed some coloured lights in his direction and he emerged from the bushes a little nervously, which changed to amused excitement when he recognised me - the other (this one) was still to be sought!. I skipped #3 since he had taken the honours, and we both moved to #2 where I made a quick find.

As we had a chat returning to the vehicles, another familiar vehicle pulled up, and we were joined by Quasar and Black Legend for a further discussion of all things ...

Thanks for the cache!

Quick easy find in the cover of darkness - met up with the usual hunters had a bit of a chat & a laugh.
Thx for the cache Team Kroinia.
