Unfortunately I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore as advised previously, the cache is being de-listed (Archived) to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

The [**Geocache Maintenance guideline**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains what needs to happen with a Disable cache.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article [**here**](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=56).

If you wish to contact me please send an email via my profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

Even with two pairs of eyes searching, two pairs of hands feeling and two pairs of feet circumnavigating the tree and a desperate call to a PAF we just couldn’t find the cache that’s supposed to be here today. After describing what we did find on the trunk the PAF ventured the idea that it might be missing. It might be worth the CO checking. It did look a very well left and developed community park. Lots of Ibis coming in to roost in the tops of the pine trees around the oval.
 
03-Aug-18
Too good for us today. Suspect container gone missing
 
06-Apr-18
Unable to find for love or money. Did find some Geo log book remains on the ground though.

Beautiful spot for a hit of the red ball. Go Lindenow south glenaladale u12's.
 
07-Jan-18
After yesterdays heat, we decided we'd have a sleep in and then go for a drive to pick up a few caches near Bairnsdale, so we took the back way and grabbed a few of what was on offer.

A nice easy find here - thanks Scozza.

#38 find for our 2 Months to Alexandra Event Roadtrip! Found with KrysLazz.

What a beautiful place to enjoy some cricket! I don't actually watch nor play cricket, but could be tempted if it were here. Very creative cache. Thank you Smile

Muggle husband found this one. He likes this one, not just because he found it before me or that we are at a lovely cricket ground but a very clever hide. Tftc and the family activity on our long weekend away.

What a surprising spot [:o]
Two beautifully manicured ovals Smile
And good facilities to boot Big Grin

I'll bet the opposing Elevens love visiting this ground Smile

No cricket in progress today,
so I wandered over to GZ.
and after a couple of laps of the big stump,
I spied a rather clever cache hide [^]

TFTC Smile

YAY - found it today Big Grin with Geodog, Hydro, enjoy a run around the oval. Thanks Scozza for this cache. I hadn't realised there was an oval on the hill at Meerlieu - what a stunning view. It would be a bit tricky to maintain concentration on a cricket match with that view in the background. I've driven by on many occasions but have never had the time to stop and really enjoy this part of Gippsland. The old pine standing guard is stunning and it's great to see a recent planting of a descendant of The Lone Pine just near by.

The current log is very interesting and a little damp- it's the back of a receipt - I think it's a Bunnings receipt - LOL. Maybe time for a little bit of maintenance. Thanks again.

Last one for the day. TFTC

What a great cricket ground. I reckon the gorgeous scenery would have to be a bit distracting though. Wandered over and checked out the Lone Pine, great to see one has been planted out here. After a bit more of a wander it was time to get down to the business of cache finding. I don't know how or why I found it so quickly, but it was the first place I looked. Mr 2max was like, how did you know it was there? I told him I had the eye of a skilled cacher, haha, but I think it was just pure fluke... shhhh..!!!! We signed the log then watched for a while as one of the Roulette's was doing some dips and dives over a nearby paddock. He finally zoomed off, and so did we. Thanks for the cache Scozza

Found this cache lying out in the open, so I tucked it into a spot where I thought it may have come from so that it would not get any wetter in this pouring rain. Will email the CO a photo of where I placed it so that it can be found by the CO if needed. TFTC Smile

What to do on a beautiful Sunday afternoon - garden or go for a drive, grab a cache or two followed by coffee. Decided on Stratford as my destination and completing the loop came home the back road. Had been to this site with a geocaching friend when I was just a muggle however did not find it on that trip this time found after a brief search.

Thanks Scozza

One guy and a girl - three nights camping - East Gippsland

We decided to go somewhere camping over the Easter break, Friday saw us have a sleep in, head down the road caching as we went and doing something rare, setting up the tent in daylight! A bight of night caching topped the day off.

Pulled up next to GZ to be met by a local muggle, asked what we were doing, ahhhh that's why, my uncle does that too. Quick find, replaced the log which was mush.

Thanks for the cache Scozza!!!

TFTC TNLN. What a great camoflague! Although I think bits of it might have fallen off it so it might need some attention. Lovely spot. Thanks for bringing me to a spot I drive past so often and never took the time to explore before. As another cache above said-very peaceful.

A bike ride in the morning on the Rail Trail, and a walk in the afternoon at Lakes for a few caches with BettyBoo3747 filled out our day.
Fabulous grounds! A lovely view when on the oval. Club rooms no too bad either.
We were glad we had the place to ourselves this morning.
Thanks, Robmc.
