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

----------

This cache is carrying a maintenance log which needs to be addressed by the cache owner.

The guidelines advise that the CO should make regular visits to check on the cache as well as promptly address any logs that indicate that the cache requires some attention. You need to disable the cache if you cannot attend to it promptly - I have disabled it this time.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) within 14 days**

If you cannot respond to the situation as requested, please add a note to the cache page detailing the situation **and providing an actual date when you expect the situation to be resolved.** This is to allow others to understand what is happening - as well as - to prevent the cache from being de-listed as abandoned.

Have a read of the [Geocache Maintenance guideline](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) which explain a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing this cache up and running in the future.

**And don't forget,** once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; [Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [Temporarily Disable and Enable ](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

TFTC, found it this time. Unable to sign the log because someone has filled the container with a sticky gel.
 
19-Apr-18
Cache needs maintenance, someone has filled the container with a sticky gel so you cant extract the log without getting really messy and then you wouldnt be able to sign it anyway.
 
19-Apr-18
This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

This was the perfect place for a cache. With so many cars around, we thought this would take a while but it was a nice quick find. Thankfully we were able to park in the shade of some of these magnificent trees. Thanks for the cache and bringing us here.

There are now 6 DNFs in a row. Mark9375 has put the wrong date in from reading the logs. The clue also makes the location fairly clear. I think this one needs a check visit.
 
16-Oct-17
Sadly I didn't read the logs before I began my search. I too found the rusty nail and thought I was in luck, but no Sad
 
11-Oct-17
Had a good look using the clue. I don't think it's there.
 
23-Sep-17
We found the bolt, about 8 cm long. But I don't think that's what we're meant to find.
 
22-Sep-17
I found it quite easy and saw a nail but couldn’t find actual cache Smile
 
21-Sep-17
@GZ didn't found the cache. There was a large nail inside but no cache.
 
14-Aug-17
A nice easy cache with 4bait, TFTC
 
30-Jul-17
No luck today. The hint is clear but the options did not reveal a solution.
 
15-Jul-17
No luck for us. Missing??
 
19-Jun-17
Missing - went where it should have been
 
04-Jun-17
Found while out and about with mark9375 on a cold winters night this was a nice little hide. Tftc

*Found with [Geooh Live](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohLive)*

A nicely hidden cache with a great hint. Managed to find without being seen by muggles. Thanks Travelling Sister.

Find #3350

Had an errand to run in the area and so of course I left enough time to tackle a small circle of three caches that I hadn't found before on foot. This was my second stop and after a find nearby I headed on to this one. I checked the wrong spot first but once I corrected I spotted it. Didn't take too long to extract and soon I had the log in hand. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache Travelling Sister. I've done a few of this series over the years as I've some across them in various areas.
 
21-May-17
Had to sit on that handy bench to wait at both ends of this find! Smile you never expect to see so many people in a quiet (ish) Street in a Sunday afternoon...
 
21-May-17
Compass took me straight to the right tree, I just had the wrong hollow at first. Eventually found the nicely constructed cache, thanks for the smilie Smile

Nice quick find with little surprise at the end! Tftc
 
09-Mar-17
Very nice little cache. Have done a few Mary caches but still a lot to go. TFTC and the series
 
08-Mar-17
Staying in Melbourne for about a week for some sport and of course some geocaching. Was walking around Hawthorn finding some caches this arvo.
The hint was a big help but I still wasn't sure I was doing the correct thing until the cache suddenly appeared. Very clever. TFTC
 
26-Feb-17

24-Dec-16
Nope no cache in residence there....
 
25-Nov-16
We think we found the hiding place, but there was no cache.
With cmkoe3.
 
20-Oct-16
Traffic was terrible tonight.
Took a break from the drive to do a bit of caching.
Yet another Mary MacKillop cache that we have found.
My, she sure gets around.
Thanks for bringing me here.

31-Jul-16
Thank you for your clues

Tftc
 
30-Jul-16
Great spot. There are small sticks near the cache that can be used to extract it. No sign of a trackable.
 
25-Jul-16
Found it, but we did not have a writing utensil, so there's a photo. Like others, we have to use a stick to get it out. TFTC
 
24-Jul-16
Had to use a stick to get it out!! Thanks and there were lots of muggles Smile))
 
21-Jul-16
Had to use a tool for retrieval. Hands to big. Needed geodaughter for this one otherwise.
 
TinkerTraveller had a few errands to do in this part of town so since I had nothing better to do I tagged along so that we could do a bit of caching.
Could have sat here for a while admiring the buildings. Would love to explore inside. TinkerTraveller made the find and did the dirty deed. TFTC.

Gorgeous warm winters day today, and having brought Jeckleberryandtedd out to this part of suburbia for a special purchase, I left it up to her to plan the attack on a few local caches. The cluster in this park seemed like a good idea.

Looks like a lot of history inside those convent walls. Wonderful to see treasures such as these old Melbourne buildings cared for so well.

Thanks for the cache Travelling_Sister.
 
17-Jul-16
A great find!
 
17-Jul-16
We found it where Evie and I did not want to put our hands.It's our first one!

Great spot! Lots of muggles around today. TFTC.

26-Jun-16
Good to go - thanks again clickcraftsman
 
19-Jun-16
Good to go!
 
11-Jun-16
I found it two months ago, so I can tell, it's definitely gone, after I was there today!
 
11-Jun-16
Travelling Sister lives in Adelaide and asked me to straighten this out for her. But I have been overseas. I will attend to it this week.
 
11-Jun-16
My hand couldn't fit!!
 
10-Jun-16
Checked all the holes but even with the use of a torch there was nothing obvious, and with the mass of cobwebs I wasn't willing to put my hand in for a search
 
31-May-16
Checked all the holes in trees nearby and couldn't find anything Sad
 
26-Apr-16
I'm pretty sure I found the tree and hollow, but I wasn't prepared to put my hand in there with all the Aussie poisonous spiders. Smile
 
19-Apr-16
Oh oh, I forgot to log this cache! Tftc!
 
12-Apr-16
After seeing my dentist today in a neighbouring street I thought it'd be a good opportunity to visit this cache on my way home. So with a face full of anaesthetic, I set off on my bicycle for a quick ride. Such a beautiful building and the cache didn't take much finding. A clever spot nonetheless. Tftc!
 
11-Apr-16
Easy to find
 
03-Apr-16
Found it !
