This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **MAY** need some attention. The cache owner would have received an automated email from Geocaching HQ recently which explained what they need to do.
Unfortunately, nothing seems to have happened, so I am having to take the next step - see here: [**Geocache Health Score.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713)
The cache is being temporarily disabled so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.
**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) within 14 days,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?
You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:
- Check on the cache, repair and/or replace the cache 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 praises.
- If you don't plan on fixing it up then please [**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.
- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (within 14 days). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. For ongoing issues (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to speed.
You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will unfortunately have to de-list (Archive) it 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.

GPS swinging about but searched in obvious spots. Came up with nothing. Think this needs owner attention.
Have checked this one a few times with no luck. GPS jumps around a bit but checked all likely spots considering DT to no avail.

Is this one actually still here? There’s been a lot of damage near where it says it should be and my daughter and I have spent 2 days now looking for it..
Nice inventive hide. Loved it.
4yo played on the play ground as I woundered for a few minutes and with hints it was soon in hand
Thank you

After the Doc told me to have the day off I decided I needed a bit of fresh air and what better way to get some fresh air then going out caching. A nice little cache in this park that had me looking for a bit. TFTC
Found the possible cache on the ground, no log but managed to put a piece in and replaced. Tftc
Cache was damaged when we found it. Log was on the ground as was part of the cache. Managed to put it back together as best we could, but certainly needs maintenance. Tftc.
What a clever hiding place. Found this with lizard.1983. Log is water damaged. Replaced it temporarily with a new piece of paper. Thank you
An afternoon free to go geocaching with my youngest daughter who promptly fell asleep in the car 5 minutes into the drive, limiting me to close park and grab caches. Not to worry, with plenty to clean up around the area still, we'll have to save the further afield ones for when she's not so sleepy.
Nice little hide but as mentioned in previous logs there is just a wad of paper stuffed into the cache. I managed to make my mark none the less, thanks for the cache Poseidon 2002.

Placed it lower so normal people can reach! Log is ruined but very cleaver. Walked straight past it
Thanks for another great cache to find on my drive around the area.

Very quiet day and given that the weather was lovely surprised by no muggles around. Found the cache although signing the log was tricky given the wetness of it. May need a CO look and maintenance. TFTC
I've come across a few caches like this one but I love how these remain in such plain view. Unfortunately with some water able to get into the log, it is starting to deteriorate. Cache is still in good nick, though.
TFTC!!!

Having stopped by BOTANICA SPRINGS ENTRANCE to gain my Goodbye 2015 souvenir I decided to pick this one up as well. After my navigator had me wandering from one spot to another I spotted what I was looking for... sometimes a little distance is good for the perspective TNLN. TFTC Poseidon 2002
Has taken a while to get back here to claim a smilie. Good one. Out with Jaz & H tftc
Holidaying from SA.Found with the grand children. Nice little park and clevely hidden cache. Thanks
Poseidon for the cache.

We pulled up to this one and from the car thought that this was going to be a no go, as there was someone sitting nearby gz, we thought we would head over and scope it out, and it turned out to be further away and obtainable, but we noticed the lone lady sitting at the picnic table was singing away to herself.
We found the cache with slight difficulty in the retrieval, and then quickly made our way back past the singing lady and off we were again.

We found this cache today at 5:50pm as number 18 of 23 on our Melton Intervening Days Tour. A nice little hide at a part of Melton that we had not visited before today. Thanks from D & HA B-A.
Was heading home to Ballarat this afternoon with my two geokids (aged 3 & 5) from Melbourne so picked up a few caches along the way. Nice easy find as have found one like this before. Thanks for the cache. We stayed for a while so the kids could have a play at the playground too
As a relative newbie, I had never seen this type of cache so it was great to learn more possibilities. Found the cache quite easily, probably another first for me. There was no log but the previous visitor alchey had "improvised". I logged on to a small piece of paper of my own, included alchey's visit on it and tucked it into the cache. Also put alchey's "improvisation" back as a lid. I often walk with my little dog here so was nice to find it near to home. TFTC.
Out on a day/night of caching with Geordiefamily around Melton to add smileys to the map.
I took what I thought would be a quick stroll which turned into an adventure, arriving at GZ Geordiefamily quickly found the cache but no log, so we improvised. On the return journey we were watched by a police car from a distance so we made a quick retreat so we didn't have to answer any questions.

on a visit from Geelong with alchey. Quick find with spot on coords, but unfortunately log had gone and only outer container there. Improvised, but CO might need to replace log. Tftc.
Went for a drive out to Gisborne today and didn't have any caches loaded onto my GPS for the area... Tried the next closest caches on the GPS, but bombed out on three! A whole afternoon's caching and a string of DNF's. Finally I found one!!!! My first find of this kind! TFTC
Had to talk to local muggles sitting by the GZ to reflect on the weekend footy upsets and distract them from my quest. TFTC Poseidon 2002.
After parking around the corner we wandered back to GZ and spotted something that looked a little out of the ordinary. It turned out to be a very clever hide. An excellent method of hiding the container and very effective!
Thanks to Poseidon_2002 for the cache.

With the GPSr insisting I had perfect co-ords I still couldn't make the find then Square Pegs says there it is and so it was. Tricky stuff Thanks Poseidon 2002.
Found this one easily today.
Thanks for showing us the spot and the nice little container.
Great little playground here too.

Out searching for other cache and this came up. Very sneaky hide but well done. SL. TNLN. TFTC
After spending a good 5 mins searching started to think we were in the wrong spot. That's when my keen eyed wife spotted what was to be our find. Clever hide in what I thought was going to be an almost carbon copy of some other caches we'd found before. signed the log and replaced in the same location. TFTC Poseidon 2002.

Quick find on the way home from school. We had the park to ourselves so we stayed to play. TFTC Poseidon 2002

This one could prove elusive but we quickly spotted an item that we have seen used before to hide a cache.

Thanks Poseidon 2002, we voted this one to be the most sneaky for the day.

After sitting reflecting on this cache .... while waiting muggles to move on
thought how good this one was... but it may need some sort of seal as moisture can get to the log
excellent looking cache
Geowife sussed out cache location.. using her spider senses

Suscoe's 3rd of 13 finds for today.
This one took a while as a friendly muggle was located very close to GZ.
Had to wait for a while but they finally moved on and so a quick find was made by Mrs. S.
Clever work put in place by Poseidon 2002. well done and thanks for the hide.
Log signed and popped back.

This one had me fooled for 5 minutes, I couldn't figure out where the micro was on the park bench Eventually I read previous logs and found a really great hint. Well camouflaged.
This one had me fooled for a while until I read the hint. Then had to find a tool to finalise the quest. Thanks Poseidon.
Quick easy find whilst in Melton for some after Christmas shopping. Retrieval wasn't quite as easy as the previous cacher must have been 8ft tall. After looking around for the necessary implement to retrieve this cache, the log was signed and on may way. A very inventive cache.
Thanks for the cache Poseidon 2002

This was my last for the day.
I first tryed to approach from the wrong side thanks to the older map on the GPS.
I got there in the end.
Spotted it straight away and was soon signing the log.
Then I was on my way back to Melbourne.

Our map showed this cache to be in the middle of nowhere; so it was interesting to find ourselves in such a built up area. Fortunately the locals must have been shopping or having dinner enabling us to approach boldly and sign the log.

The last The Demolition Crew night caching run for the year started in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne (as usual) and went all the way to the Melton / Bacchus Marsh area. Caching during the day and into the wee hours of the morning, the crew had a great laugh as we drove the roads and grabbed the caches. The highlight of the night was definately the high terrain caches in the area, which were attempted at night. I appologise to all the CO's for this generic log, but as I was away from a pc and internet for some time I have several hundred caches to log, and I cannot remember them all. My thanks to you for the cache placement.
Another legendary TDC (The Demolition Crew) night caching run with the crew being myself, Quasar3671, TrailRunning and RebelActs, which took us all over the place... Starting in the Eastern Suburbs and then headed out west as far as the Bacchus Marsh area, and even took in some more of the harder Werribee Gorge caches. A large bag of finds for the night, great company as usual, and lots of laughs and great stories. My thanks to all the CO's for their great hides, which as usual, made the night possible. Apologies for some generic logs, I will do my best to remember all the finds.
Nice little hide, TFTC.
Nice little hide, TFTC.
Myself and my fellow TDC mates (Rebel Acts, Trailrunning and Blacklegend) had planned a big night of caching which had us starting in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne and moving on through Bacchus Marsh and on into Werribee Gorge where we did some more challenging caches. We had a list of solved puzzles to collect along with the usual plethora of trads.
The weather was perfect for caching during the night and we all had a great time finding the various range of cache hides and types. We did a fair bit of walking / hiking during the latter part of the night, especially around the Werribee Gorge, which we found to be extremely challenging and well worth the effort.
We stopped in the park here and found the cache pretty quick. Once the log was signed and cache put back we chatted for a few minutes about the rest of our planned run, which was going really smoothly so far. Thanks for the hide.

This was, cache # 11 of 58 finds for the Day/Night on another big run for the TDC, once again we had lots of laughs, saw some great places and some excellent caches. A great night was had by all. Spotted this one straight away, I have not seen one quiet like this in my 7000+ caching career, nice hide. My thanks to Poseidon_2002 for the cache.

Quick find tonight after an aptmnt in Melton. Clarkes Rd is now a terrific link from Melton Sth to the other side of the freeway. A unique hide I'd not seen before, very clever, obvious to only a select few, us!
Thanks Poseidon2002 for showing me this great parkland.

Started off on the wrong side of the water. Soon fixed that and walked to GZ after moving the car closer. Found what I think is the cache. The paper was signed. THink it might get wet as it fell apart as I grabbed it. Glue needs to be a little stronger I think.

When I saw this published on Tuesday night I didn't hold out much hope for it still being here today, my Melton work day. I had a quick look at what was happening around here this morning and was interested to see that no-one had logged it. I know that doesn't always mean it hasn't been found. Nevertheless, I snuck out of work in a quiet patch and first of all went to the wrong cache. I had a sense of deja vu then realised my error. Then I went to the right cache, made a sharp find and was happy to see the little accordian was pristine. Yay, another *FTF* to me. I have not found one like this before and think it is a nice simple idea for a hide. I always like caching in these new housing areas because I wouldn't get to look at them otherwise. Keep up the good work Poseidon_2002, I'm always happy to see new caches in Melton and hope to put some new ones out here too soon.
I'll be hiding a first to find near by now that it's placement has been sorted terribly sorry if you find it before tomorrow....
