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.

Couldnt find it after 15min.
 
05-Apr-14
I wish I'd thought to read the previous logs. There is nothing here except rubbish and a spikey plant
 
04-Apr-14
Several dnfs warrant at least a check
 
01-Apr-14
I couldn’t find this cache either and given no one else has since the 10th Jan, I’d say it’s been Muggled. Again, I think wizard4u has made another mistake of logging this one on the 5/3/14.
 
26-Mar-14
Arf big loose here... dnf after 20 min
 
23-Mar-14
Searched all over and didn't find it, the clue and coordinates suggested I was in the right place.

5 Maart 2014 13:49 wizard4u TFTC: today time for geocaching so I rented a bicycle and went south a bit to find a number of nice caches. Mostly traditionals but also some others. The CO's will become their answers if necessary. Dropped also a number of TB's from Europe. Nice tour in a nice area. All CO's thank you very much for the caches and the nice trip. Weather was ok for cycling. Thanx from holland
 
28-Jan-14
Had a deep look around and couldn't find it, maybe someone that's found it before could confirm or the cache needs replacing.
 
16-Jan-14
Whilst I'm registering this one as a DNF, I didn't spend too long searching for it. I arrived at. The GZ when the location was surrounded by long grass and branches. On a 40 degree day I didn't feel like a snake or spider bite.
 
15-Jan-14
Nothing for me to find. I spend quite a while scouring all three boxes but no sign of a cache.

till next time
 
10-Jan-14
Quick find on our way into town
 
Paper too wet to write on. Bag needs replacing
 
Great cache, but paper too wet to write on Sad
 
03-Jan-14
Pin not quite in the right place but an easy find all the same. Log needs maintenance. TFTC
 
12-Dec-13
I stumbled upon a bouncy ball that had clearly been lost by a pooch; kept me entertained for the rest of the day while .K.B. dragged me around to plenty of caches in this area. Thanks for the hide.
 
12-Dec-13
Wow! I saw some impressive parks on my big walk through this area today. This was another that was being enjoying some dogs. Thanks for the hide The Phant0m.
 
15-Nov-13
Great hide! We tried not to attract the attention of many basketballers. My daughter was staring in the right place, and dad made the grab.

Our 150th find - TFTH!!!
 
12-Nov-13
A good easy find, park was muggle free as raining, immediately spied GZ, and next minute had it in my hand, TFTC
 
06-Nov-13
Find #947 logged at GZ at 08:58, will update shortly.... T4TC The Phant0m!
 
06-Nov-13
After being unfortunately out-muggled at Prahran Parks 4, I decided to head along to this one and hope that it was a bit quieter. The gods were with me this time as I nabbed it unseen by the many and varied passers-by (though not without some tense moments!), signed and sealed without an issue. Cheers Phant0m!
 
28-Oct-13
Waiting for my daughter who was at the avenue seeing a specialist my granddaughter and I went for a walk and made the quick find.TFTC
 
28-Oct-13
The youngest member of the clan was out with her Grandfather [from TheGGGs] & made the quick find.
TFTC
 
23-Oct-13
This is quite clever, almost didn't notice it even when looking right at it! Came here late at night on the way home from dinner. Only saw a lone jogger so not too much muggle trouble. TFTC enjoyed it.
 
15-Oct-13
Found at 06:44
I the area for another Quest and this wasn't too far away. No one on the court at this hour but there was one dog walker that came past while I was signing the log. As others have noted, the log is full so I added another sheet. The bag was split but I didn't have a spare on me.
Thanks The Phant0m for the cache. I definitely recommend an out of hours pickup on this one.
 
28-Sep-13
After Aunty Jan's 70th surprise party which started at the same time as the AFL Grand Final (what was Cousin Rebecca thinking?), we had to get a couple on the way home to keep our run going.
This was a great community recreation spot and we stopped to watch a clever young woman practicing her skate board skills.
Found the cache quickly in containers we have come across before. Badly needs new logs, but signed quickly and off. TFTC.
 
23-Sep-13
Like the cache Smile found on second attempt, came earlier last week but could see the nursery was packed so walked on by. Tftc Smile
 
20-Sep-13
Great cache. A bit soggy
 
19-Sep-13
The day's parking restriction times were getting ever closer but there was some time to have a look for this one. The spot-on coordinates led me straight the nicely camoed stash for the find at 06:55.

Unfortunately, the bag has broken and the logsheet is saturated. Having said that, I could still make my mark on it but it probably needs some TLC.

TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks The Phant0m.
 
08-Sep-13
I hadn't found a cache in ages, so I was quite excited to have the opportunity to grab this one. It was dark, but a quick find nonetheless. Thanks for the cache!

Great Cache, found after a short search.
TFTC
 
23-Aug-13
Nice easy find. The log was very wet, so I replaced it, but didn't have a zip-lock bag handy, so It may not be long before the new log is wet as well. Thanks, The Phant0m. Smile
 
10-Aug-13
With a couple of hours to spare before sunset what better than go find a few caches and here I am. A bold hide with a very soggy log...if I had some spare paper I'd have replaced it. Thanks to The Phant0m.
 
28-Jul-13
Suscoe's7th find of the day as we worked our way around this area.
Tricky to get a park again and thankfully a quick find was made.
The cache log is soaked so needs a bit of care.
No one about in the park at all.
Thanks to The Phant0m.
 
27-Jul-13
We found this cache today at 1:55pm as the 4th of 16 on our Tour de Prahran. Was trying to park near another cache but got closer to this one in the end so went here first. Our second cache find in this park, having found "The Mayor's Park" cache about 5 years ago. Thanks from D & HA B-A.
 
22-Jul-13
While Geomum was over at The Avenue Private Hospital Geodad saw this cache wasn't to far away so he decided to take Geoson for a walk and see if they could find it.

A very clever hide, first time we have seen one of these. This is our very first find in a big city, very different to the country.
 
21-Jul-13
Found this one quite easily as I've seen one before but the log book is so wet that I couldn't sign it. I didn't even want to try and unravel it in case I destroyed it.
 
20-Jul-13
The log book is saturated and impossible to sign. Needs a dry out and a replacement plastic bag.
 
01-Jul-13
A nice sneaky one! It was lovely to meet new cachers, Flynn and Dad, out hitting the waypoints on a Monday afternoon. Thanks!
 
30-Jun-13
Our first cache! We loved the way it was hidden. We finally understand what people were doing near our basketball court. Thanks Curiosa, we wouldn't have found it without you Smile.

Very clever respectable cache!

Nice cache, had to wait for a few muggles playing basketball on the nearby court. fortunately they left within 10 minutes and i was able to retrieve the cache. I couldn't find this cache for a while because of its great camo! TFTC
PS cache log is full and quite damp
 
16-Jun-13
The log needs a new bag and room for more people to write. Clever hide!
 
Clever!! Very clever !!
 
08-Jun-13
Doing a short suburban tour with Feathertop.
This was my first for the morning, and the dew was still on the ground. A short walk through the park and the cache was in hand. Logbook is still chockers.
Thanks, Robmc.

I was killing a little bit of free time on my way home from Melbourne this morning, making a few finds around the area. It took me three attempts to find a parking spot within cooee of the park, but eventually was left with a short walk to GZ.

I managed to sneak off with the hide in between dog walkers and signed it at the nearby bench.

The log is full as a goog, but I wrote my name in a tiny spot at the top.

TFTC
 
Nice easy find on a wet afternoon. TFTC

Another quaint park to walk thru to the cache even though it was night time.
Many thanks for the location and sneaky hide.
 
14-Apr-13
our first find, thanks
 
07-Apr-13
We only had to wait a few minutes before grabbing this one. It's nicely tucked away out of sight. SL.
TFTC, Merann.

After a few mins of searching we came across this little find! Although not that little... Thanks
 
01-Mar-13
Find 584 at 22:02. It was time for another evening caching run with Burge. We had a number of caches on our list tonight and overall it was a successful evening with 15 finds for the night. This was find number 3.

Even at this time of night there were quite a few muggles around. Burge had been to this location previously but came up empty. We had a good search around and eventually located the clever hide. It probably shouldn't have taken us as long as it did, but it was a fun challenge to search around without being detected. Thanks for the cache, The Phant0m!
 
01-Mar-13
Bit easier grabbing the cache on a night run than on a Sunday afternoon. Tftc tnln sl
 
28-Feb-13
Just as I found it, a skateboarder was locked out of the basketball court - so I could quickly log.
TFTC!

I love it when geocaching introduces me to new places near where I live. What a great little park! Thanks for the introduction. I'll be sure to be back!
 
23-Feb-13
nice easy find while caching with aussie fun seakers.
good place for a cache signed and replaced TFTC.

Forgot to log at the time so I hope this is the right date. It was the second time I had searched but I knew I was close. That AH-Ha feeling is so good.

Sneaky!
 
07-Feb-13
Between The Avenue Doctors and the train station - don't often get to this part of town. Walking through this nice little park and thought "this would be just the place for a cache". Whipped out the iphone and sure enough I was only 70m away. I turned around and there was a lady with a pram in just the location I had in mind. We chatted without her showing me what she'd done. Nice to meet AussieAnn and grandson. So then it was my turn, and a nice quick find. Good one, ThePhant0m. Thanks.
 
02-Feb-13
Found tonight. Well hidden, I even touched it and didn't know that it was the cache. Thanks for the find!

Out on the bike with like minded friends looking for caches.Nice hide thanks for the search.
 
20-Jan-13
This was the first of a half dozen caches found by bike today starting in prahran and down to St kilda.
The coordinates pointed me straight to GZ and the sneaky hide was found without too much fuss
Thanks for the cache.

Tftc - a quick find on the bike ride home from work.

Being my first geocache, I was a little perplexed as to what I was looking for. As a result, took a little time and felt a bit stoopid as it was exactly what the hint said...need to read more in detail Wink
 
27-Dec-12
Decided to stop by here after finding the nearby PP 4. I'd already found PP 1 and 3 in May so thought it was about time to complete the series. I actually came by here too in May but there were gardeners pruning plants near GZ and people playing tennis on the courts so I gave it a miss. Sad Not many muggles this afternoon so I was free to search. [^] The co-ords were spot-on so I spotted the inventive hide fairly quickly and signed the log at 6:10pm. TNLN.

Thanks The Phant0m for the nicely concealed cache in such a high muggle location and for showing me another lovely urban park. Very clever camo indeed. Wink Unfortunately I couldn't stay long as we needed to grab a bite to eat before going to the Astor Theatre to see a couple of Harry Potter movies. Cool
 
22-Dec-12
Nice easy find on early morning walk, although for new geocachers they might be a little challenged. Thanks for introducing me to another interesting local park.
 
21-Dec-12
Finished work early for the year with a team BBQ. Decided to wait in town to pickup Dianne up from work, so it gave me some time for a few caches.

Parked on the street and walked past the lady playing ball with her dog. Arrived at GZ and found cache straight away. I've seen a few of these before.
TFTC
 
19-Dec-12
This cache was another with lots of one way streets making it difficult to find a way to get close. Eventually found a parking spot and decided on a relatively short walk around the block to get to GZ. Coords were good and cache was quickly found at 12:15pm.
Thanks The Phant0m
 
08-Dec-12
A quick find on the way home from Government House. Received a few strange glances from passing muggles as we were still in our scout leader uniforms. Cute little park.
 
08-Dec-12
Nice quick find.
 
08-Dec-12
Took me a bit to find - but finally found it ...

Staying with my cousin just across the road. Nice easy find. TFTC.
