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 (next 28 days), just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it 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'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 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 month or so to keep everyone up to date.

It seems as if the CO is no longer playing and the three caches in this park have been muggled, destroyed and are missing. Could be time to archive.

One of three DNFs in this nice little park.
Each time we found the location of the container, but nobody was home.
A nice walk around the park, very few muggles, but no smilie faces either.
Thanks, Robmc.

No luck for us here today. Searched for 3 caches only to find them all muggled, missing or destroyed. Time for maintenance or archiving I think.

After dinner, WildBaconLord and I went out to pick this one up on our way to the supermarket. It was a quick and easy find, though the surprise had been spoilt somewhat by the photo posted by the previous finder.
TFTC, TRenks!

The paper was wet but was fun to find!

Found my first geocache!!!

TFTC

So many people walking the pooches..had to sit and wait for a bit.
Cache was drenched...put another piece of paper in..
Is in desperate need of a zip lock bag.
Nice hide

found it no problems at all absolutely love the hiding spot.
thanks tom

I was heading home after working in Narre Warren today and after coming off Eastlink, I thought I would look for another cache or two. This one popped up on my search and only required a small detour so off I went. I parked nearby and made my way into the park. I quickly found GZ and used the "tying shoelaces" technique to look less obvious as some muggles wandered past some distance away.

Thanks to TRenks for putting this cache in here and introducing me to this rather nice park. I have to say though, my mind boggles at how you were able construct the hide without attracting attention.

Found after we waited for some dog walkers to pick up their little darling's messages and move on. The Chief appreciated the rest on the nearby seat for his wrecked knee (stupid golf!) but I think we made the doggy owners nervous! TFTC

Waited for two muggles to pass, then found in an obvious spot. Thanks TRenks

The cache certainly lived up to its name.
Thanks TRenks, nice hide in a beautiful park I had not visited previously.
PS - The log book is in tatters and needs replacement.

The first of many finds I hope, thank you.

What a great park this is!TFTC

Clear hide. Used the camo as a mallet on the cochroach sharing the cache home. TFTC.

Cleaver hide- how did you hide it and not draw attention?

It took a lot of effort or sore fingers to get it out as the last people had jammed it in. Please put it back the right way around

Walked across to this one and it didn't take long to identify the hide. Although the Wet weather had made it a little hard to access we originally dismissed it but with no other options and a little bit more persuading the Cache was soon in hand. This one would have attracted some attention when being planted TFTC

Nice hiding spot.
TFTC

With not many other places to check, I walked right up to the stump and it was obvious where I would find the cache. Cool stuff.

I picked this cache up, at 12:51pm. In an effort to try and find a few caches nominated for the up coming 2012 Victorian Cache Awards, today I headed first to Blackburn, then to Ringwood, before the heat got the better of me.

A quick find. The name says it all in this caches case. Very neatly done. I guess it is because the stumps is dead that this cache complies with Groundspeaks guideline "Geocaches are placed so that plant and animal life are safe from both intentional and unintentional harm".

Thanks for the cache TRenks.

A nice quick find in between Master D's frolic in the playground ... Not too Many muggles around on a Friday morning

Nice cache in a great little park , the log paper was full so we left a piece of paper, oh and a spider too TFTC!

great easy first find

FOUND:NOTHING
GAVE:WHITE GOLF TEE

After losing most hope of finding a cache after searching for a hard cache, i still found this cache (an easy find, with great additional hint, good hiding place, helpful name but had muggle tampering) after my nana looked right near the stump!Im lucky she didnt find it first or both of my nanas would have found caches before me.We searched for caches in ringwood because i was staying with my nana there.

Cool and inventive hiding place. Very nice! Needs more paper though. Would put some in if we had any!

A very pleasant park, and a quick find.TFTC

Found it with geosiblings easy find at a nice park

Found this one easy enough, and loved the ingenuity that has gone into it.
Simple but effective. Thanks TRenks for bringing me here, very popular spot for doggers and joggers

Great little hide. We love when creative effort is put into caches. Thanks heaps.

Great hide. This park is a fruitful little area for caching. The log sheet is full so we couldn't sign it. Need replacing. Thanks for the hide tho.

Sorry for the delay in logging this find 2 weeks ago. This was a clever hide in a park we had never explored. What a great spot, and a clever hide. Lots of muggles about, but was pretty easy to conceal our business. Thanks for the cache.

Found @ 6:53pm, find # 1907
Another nice hide in this little park, another easy find as the name gives it awayand its the most obvious thing in sight, managed to squeeze my name onto the log sheet which looks as though some muggles have added a bit to it.
Thanks to TRenks for this cache and all the caching fun.

Found it. Smart place to put it.

You may need to put in a new log book.

Yay

Very easy yet out of the way

Found with Lindos

Easy peasy!
Found with benji:)

Fun find BT geodaughter & grison with two friends. Gr8 work

Out this way on a failed FTF drive, I stopped by this one on the way back. A little sappy and sticky, but thanks for the cache and crafting!

Ostara74 was determined to get the A-Z Challenge Cache by LouiseAnn, while she was back in Melbourne, and upon checking, I found I was surprisingly close to acheiveing the requirements for the A-Z Challenge Cache, by LouiseAnn, as well. So today we headed out to get the last few letters that we needed and then on to find the A-Z challenge cache, by LouiseAnn. This was our 3rd cache find for the day. We wondered over to this cache after finding the cache Queen Meagan. We then sat down and waiting for ages for some kids to move on before we could approach teh GZ and find the cache. Eventually the kids left and I quickly grabed the cahce and signed the log and replaced the cache before another muggle could delay our day again. That done we were on our way. Thanks for the cache, TRenks.

Before coming to Melbourne I had gone through my caches to see if I could do the alphabet "A-Z challenge" cache of LouiseAnn while visiting. It didn't look to good though with 4 letters missing and several caches with the required titles being disabled. However today I had a look again together with Pathfinder24 and we figured out a route to pick up caches with titles that we both needed for the A-Z challenge. It was a pretty long drive so we were really hoping we would find the caches we had set out for. With Q for the "A-Z challenge" cache secured after finding Queen Meagan we headed off to look for this other cache in the park. We had a long wait on the bench close by for some youths to move on before we could start the search. Pathfinder24 discovered the clever hide and retrieved the cache before we sat down on the bench and signed the log. After another long wait for the muggle activity to ease, we finally got the cache back into its hiding spot and off we were to find more alphabet needed caches. Thanks for the cache TRenks!

TFTC easy peasy

Thanks for making this! This park has been fun.

Second cache find in this park. Co-ordinates put us at GZ and we very quickly had cache in hand!! Nice hide.

Nice easy find.

TFTC

Chunky but an instantaneous find. Thanks for the cache.

Good one! Abit different to some!TFTC

Found 16:05, after a brief search.

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks TRenks.

Have just joined. Finally logging after finding several weeks ago.

Clever hide on our morning cache run, good to see some originality! TFTC

3rd find for the morning with Dolly2cv6, rained on us again, but that was good as it moved on the dog walkers! easy find TFTC

I got stumped again lol

Another park one on the list

Quick easy find while out this morning! Although had to dodge the muggles as I think the sun And school holidays has them out and about today! But we cant complain about this gorgeous weather! SL TFTC

Had difficulty getting the log out of the little container! Cute hidey hole.

I stopped by here while on my (extended) way to work this morning. A nice easy find of this clever little hide at 09:00 and a very pleasant park it's in too .

TNLNSL. Thanks TRenks.

PS: The logbook is mighty full .

Very clever

Having met an old friend and taking him to the puzzle down the hill this time I passed him my phone qued up with this cache in Cgeo and good to go.. his more than familiar with a compass, however the problem of the moment was that he didn't have his glasses with him, however the arrow did the trick and the distance measurement was only soo important as the fence line well defined the outer boundry.. He was soon looking around, however I let the secret of the stump out a little sooner than i should have.. we were both suitably impressed and I''ve favourited this one too.. Thansk Trenks.. find # 3006

Very open area - difficult to hide from the Muggles, but we found a window of opportunity. TFTC!

.

Nice quick find a different way of hiding a cache very nice tftc

Fair effort! Nice hide. Cold day meant nary a muggle to be seen. Thx. Fav frm me

Found with Dunko while in the area TFTC SL

Found in company with Slink1 TFTC SL - (log catch up)

After a nice little walk around the park, we squelched on over to GZ.
Then a quick find in a great spot.
Clever hide.

TFTC

A quick find @ 0:05 in the company of emeraldflame. It was a fairly squelchy walk across the grass here after all the rain.

Thanks again to TRenks for bringing us here and for the cache.

Like the hide - some effort gone into this one. Park very quiet this morning.

Inventive!!! Never seen one like this before, great effort TRenks!! TFTC !!

This ones next!

Great hide found with geokid...tftc

#1250 Out caching in between the rain today - in, fact IN the rain for this one! Thanks again TRenks, it's a great park here - another we never knew existed.

Excellent hide, great camo. Cover is starting to come apart so pls be careful when replacing. Was hoping to find a gnome, maybe next time.

Another great camo cache I actually walked passed it. S4pphirre called found it I walked around to her and went Wow thats great.

easy find
tftc

liked the hide tftc

Found with geo daughter as we cleaned up a few finds in this otherwise unknown but fantastic park to us. Great hide and obviously a bit of work has gone into this little camoed hide. TFTC

More water logged territory to cross but more distracting were muggles impeding the path. Fortunately they were more concerned wit mundane matters and did not notice things as we recovered the cache at 17:05. A nice construction. TFTC

An easy find on a sunny winter's day. Lucky I did it now as I would not have been able to about 20 minutes later when I came back this way with an accumulation of muggles then. Nice hide too.

woops forgot to log this one. Found With Crazy! Nat Girl on a small night run. Another nice hide as we continued our tour of this nice park nice. TFTC

Found with Rebel Acts, This was a nice hide, loved this park. Thanks for the cache.

Found this one today with Irontoad. I was impressed with the hide. Took nothing, left nothing and signed log.

Thanks a lot for the cache TRenks.

I found this cache today at 4:30pm as the 2nd of 4 on the way home. I had to wait a few minutes at the park bench nearby for the dog walkers to disappear before making the find here. As per the last cache, I loved the execution but have the same concerns. Thanks from D B-A.

Nice piece of work - a fair bit of work went behind this little sucker and of course a delightful find. The natural piece of cammo was perfectly placed......Made me look twice.

Lok'n fwd to the next instalment.
Thx again trenks

Yet another very interesting cache cache TFTC t-renks

Found @1646 #1680
On a late afternoon mini run with best mate ahomburg with the focus on some urban caches.

Never been to this park before and was please to see a small cluster and the weather today was just perfect for some caching.
Had to wait for a couple of muggles walking those yappie dogs to pass before the final approach to GZ. Another nice hide and 3rd found so far in this great park.

Find # 1847

I was on a mini caching run today with my caching partner in crime, sedgwickDave to find a few caches that had given us troubles in the past as well as a few other new ones in the Ringwood area.

Continuing our walk around the park, we stopped and had a rest on the nearby seat while waiting for multiple muggles to clear off. Eventually the coast was clear and we soon had the cache in hand, another piece of clever workmanship.

Thanks to TRenks for the cache.

Out and about again today with the GCA Geosportz 2012 Game as the focus, this cache fit the "Shooting" requirement of the closest unfound cache to home. We weren't able to come to the FTF chase on this one when it was published, so had left it for a date that needed filling on our Project 366 so it also fulfilled this requirement today as well!
Another great cache TRenks, you are very quickly getting a great reputation for really well thought out and unusual cache hides!! TNLNSL
TFTC TRenks - GJMMelb

Nice one !

Found @ 15:45hrs.
Great effort look forward to future caches in this park.Thanks TRenks.

10.10 Out and about with Mrs80d while enjoying my now 4 day a week work status. Mrs 80 was in charge of the list for the morning and this was a park and walk for a couple. After completing a little challenging one nearby, we decided to walk to this one. Great park land here and some fitness people were taking advantage of it. Very wet under foot as we approached the last 100 metres. Our machines had us a little off and we had already done a check on the obvious suspected GZ. After checking in the surrounding area we came back to our orginal space and there is was. Mrs 80 made the discovery. Excellent gutzy hide, not sure what happens in the summer but in winter it was a natural camo hide.
Thanks for the cache TRenks, the laugh was on us.

Found at 10.10am. Today was another girls day out for Mrs80 and MrsX. Walked from our last find this way. Saw the stump but the simple natural camo meant we missed it until I lifted it up and then we could see where to look. TFTC

Another legendary night caching run with The Demolition Crew - TDC. Tonight an exceptional run, with around 65 caches found over a nice 12 hour caching run, starting at about 5pm, and finishing at about 5am. The run took us from Bayswater to Ringwood, then west to Williamstown to pick up a bundle that way, then east again to collect some more which were on our extensive list....

A couple of earth caches, a stack of mysterys and multis, and two challenges - The Unloved Challenge and the Night Caching Masters Challenge. We all also knocked off a couple of Project 81 finds, leaving us only a handfull to go. A great night as usual, with great company with two of my best mates. Some funny chats and some great walks as well.

Nice quick find here while continuing our run. TFTC.

On another cold and occasionally wet night/morning the TDC (Quasar3671, Blacklegend & TrailRunning) made its way through northern, eastern, western and southern suburbs of Melbourne picking up recently published caches needed by all. With the shortest route planned we were able to pick up over 50 caches each in the time available, including two Challenge caches in inner Melbourne. We had planned to collect the Challenge caches as a group of caches as well as undertake some water caches. But given the weather, it was decided to defer the water caches for a more favourable forecast. It was a great night with lots of laughs and discussions about puzzle caches just published. We had a few to get there in tis park. It was a nice quick find.
