Hi there Sheppythekid,
It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is an issue with the placement. The cache has been temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed.
**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 should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-
- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache and repair and/or replace or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the logs of praise to roll in.
- **Place A Write Note Log::-** Reviewers don't have a crystal ball, so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, or you have been in hospital, or the area is in flood, they can't tell what is going on with the cache.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) and when a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
**Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks, so as to keep everyone up to speed.**
- **Adopt/Archive:-** If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**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.
You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when a Reviewer next looks at the cache page, it is likely that they will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) 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.
**JUST A TIP:-** Have you checked out the new Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own? Have a read about it [**HERE.**](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/07/welcome-to-the-cache-owner-dashboard/?newsletter=PM) You will find your very own dash board [**HERE**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner?utm_source=geocaching&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=COD)

Found this cache without too much trouble though not in great condition. Thanks for the cache.
I decided to try to approach this from Seamists Drive. As I began the walk along the semi formed trails, I began to regret the decision but getting halfway I figured there's no point in turning back now and the worst likely result would be getting my shoes and socks soaked, which indeed happened. I eventually stumbled to GZ and saw a likely spot for the cache but unfortunately it is not much of a cache anymore as previous finders have mentioned also.
Managed to sign a saturated log and kind of return it to the zip lock intact, but indeed a full replacement would be needed here.
No kangaroos around though. Thanks Sheppythekid.

Container broken everything inside is wet. The resident spider was a little frightened by our arrival
Unfortunately, despite the previous log saying the cache was in good condition, it was full to the brim of water due to the relatively large hole in the lid.
I didn’t open the cache but turned it upside down so the water would drain out, although I could see the logbook which was in a seperate bag was also full of water. Will need some maintenance.
Thanks for bringing me to this area of the park.

On my own today coming back from a bush walk and going onto sons house for the night. Needed to get through the fence and made the easy walk most of the way. Then which track to follows, there is a lot of meandering going on here. Nice easy find. Thanks for the cache Sheppythekid. Container is broken but log book in good condition.
Quick find. Unfortunately, the container lid is broken and the log book is too wet to sign.
I found it easily during a nice walk. The container is broken and the logbook wet. TFTC.
Found easily but lid is pretty broken may need fixing eventually but still such a great spot.

Delayed log- found with some muggle friends with a young boy who LOVES dragons and luckily for him in his first find he got an awesome little dragon 
I cut my finger though and had to take a bandaid also but left two toys behind
I cut my finger though and had to take a bandaid also but left two toys behind No kangaroos for us today, but we did see an echidna on this way to our last cache for the day.
Some other birds came and checked us out when we mimicked their calls and a crimson rosella also flew by us up to the branches of a tree nearby.
As for the cache, it made for a nice and easy spot - all is in good condition and is holding up just fine.
The cache is a good size for the area and one that provides a nice open view of the natural surrounds.
Thanks to sheppythekid for placing this here.

Spending a little time hunting Tupperware between jobs. Easy find in a quiet part of the park..
Lucky Kpatt17 stopped to admire the lean too!! Very quick and easy! Great walk! Very uncovered, so we gave it a better disguise! Tftc
Not the best day. Heavy drizzle and fog the whole time. Still a lovely walk though. Plenty of kangaroos, ducks and birds. Beautiful area. TFTC
We're camping down on the Rosebud Foreshore and decided to come out for a drive & some sightseeing , and incidentally some caches
Thanks for leading to a spot we've never taken the time to visit before.

Super easy find for the geokids. Lovely stroll through the bushes! No roos yet.

Continuing the walk it was a quick find to discover the cache. Left some swaps, signed the log and all back safe again.

The kids' first find on their own Left the tb, will be watching. Thanks for the series
Left the tb, will be watching. Thanks for the seriesI encountered a rare human on the approach to this one. Wielding hiking poles. We exchanged pleasantries. This was indeed "in plain sight". I spotted it from many tens of metres away. I tried to conceal it a little better but it is a fairly substantial container after all. Thanks Sheppythekid!
The coords were about 20 m off on this one but it was an easy enough find. Again what a beautiful area
A nice easy find for the geokids. Thanks for the meander in this part of the world. Tftc
Down from Sydney for Xmas and out looking for a few cache with Geo_Ruby14 & GeoSam, and with Geofamily in tow. Geo_Ruby14 and GeoSam were slow out of the blocks for this one with me making up ground quickly to win the cache by a nose or two!! Well it wasn't all that difficult to spot the typical GeoHide. But I did relent and agreed to shouting a few ice creams. As with the prior cachers, a few kangaroos were spotted on the retreat back to the GeoVehicles. TFTC

My 11 year old niece asked me if I would take her geocaching this afternoon. We had been to Portsea this morning so I chose the quieter area of Arthurs Seat and surrounds. My niece held the GPSr and lead our walk. As we approached GZ she spotted the cache and was very pleased with herself. On our way back to the car we saw two groups of kangaroos. Even though they are a common sighting around our homes we still stopped to admire them.
Thank you Skeppythekid for this cache and series.

Having picked and eaten our fill at the strawberry farm up the road we decided to walk off the overly indulgent strawberry sundaes in the beautiful forest. Found this cache first. Was the perfect day for it, and we were lucky enough to spot several kangaroos. Thanks for the easy caches and an excuse to visit this lovely part of Victoria!
We had a nice walk around the area and saw plenty of roos as we headed for these 3 on the circuit. No real problems with the hides. We completed the signing duties for all and re hid. TFTC
Went off the track a little early and ran into a couple of Kangaroos not far from the aptly named cache. They kept an eye on me as I headed for the cache, which had a fairly obvious track back to the trail nearby, last of the six I decided to do today, thanks for the caches Sheppythekid. Now I just have to trek back down the hill to my car.
Found this cache after deciding that I should probably try and clean up some caches in the local area, and with such a beautiful day how could I refuse to go out and clean up the area haha. Anyways my adventure today started with a bike ride towards Arthurs Seat reserve picking up one before hand and the rest were in the reserve itself. After walking around and finding them all my phone went flat and I struggled to find my way back to the cook st path, but after aimlessly wandering for 20 minutes I found the cook st path. Anyway I'd like to thank you for the cache and the fun little part of my day

Peaceful stroll around the track picking up all 3 caches on the way. All found in good condition, signed logs and returned as found. Sighted 3 kangaroos on the journey. Many thanx to Sheppythekid
