### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###
This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as one that may need attention. Perhaps it is time for the CO to check on this one please.
I am temporarily disabling it 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.
Your prompt attention to logs that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers. It is generally accepted that 3 consecutive DNF's is reason enough to check, see here: [Owner is responsible for visits to the physical location,](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance )
Please respond to this situation by **6th June** to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.
**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.

So pretty sure we know where this cache is but you can't access it. Definitely need some tools for this one
My first thought obviously was the correct one. Managed to channel my inner MacGyver and access the cache using a green felt tip pen... Somehow.
Managed a straight forward find today while in the area grabbing a few caches. omegaman1971 took one for the team and managed to retrieve the cache, who says you don't put your body (ok fingers) on the line for caching sometimes. TFTC hippowaffle.
Out and about on this awesome Australia day holiday on my way to a local event. I have never found one of these type of hides that has opened easy!@!
Cheers for the cache

Out on Australia Day, grabbing a few caches with Happy pants, Moosetash and Omegaman1971. Being a quiet day, there was plent of parks and only a few muggles about so it made for an easy enough find. It was the retrieval that proved more difficlult but the man did the honors ending in an bloody finger. Signed as Happy man.
Thanks hippowaffle for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.

Props have to go to Omegaman here, who put his finger on the line and bled whilst opening the hide. Thanks for the hide, one of our favourite areas here.
After a few DNFs and a few could not searches due to muggles, it was good to get off the main thoroughfare and have time to hunt this down. Nice work ! Thanks for a nifty hide
I had attempted this cache a couple so weeks ago and decided I knew where it would be but couldn't get to it. This time with appropriate tools and a little brute force was able to extract the container and SL. Fortunately all quiet near GZ. TFTC
Unable to open it. Not even sure we could get it open with a big hammer or other appropriate tools...
Found it while in holiday did pack a hammer for this trip. Might need some oil maintenance from co. TFTC and a beautiful spot
Found it easily enough, but didn't have a tool to get it open/off.
Also the pen stopped working. Hoping this'll suffice as a log anyway?

#4811 - 14:10; I was in Melbourne to attend a university open day with the geoteen, who is keen to study at said establishment next year. That matter taken care of, it was time for some caching around Melbourne and collecting a few caches to help me with the GeosportZ 2016 games on GCA. I'd identified a cache just to the north to qualify for the 'Sailing' challenge, but there wasn't too much beach there, so I made my way down to this one. Identified GZ pretty quickly, but needed to improvise with a locally available tool to complete the extraction. TFTC hippowaffle
**Find #668 on at 9:25 PM on Sunday 31st July 2016**
4bait, 1k2ate and I had to get a cache with 10+ favourite points awarded to get the souviner for mission GC, so we all decided on a cache to find (this was the lucky cache that we decided on)
We made the nice easy trip over to Elwood passing a booze bus on the way... Anyway, we found a spot to park not too far away from GZ so we got out and made the short 100m walk from the car to the listed coordinates, we had a bit of a search pulling and prodding at various things until we circled in on one thing..with some muscle put into the retrival we soon had the cache in hand..the logbook signed and returned easily!!
This was mission completed along with 4bait and 1k2ate,
**Thanks hippowaffle for this fun cache**
**also another thanks for making this souviner possible (picture attached)**
**Trackables Visited, and a bit of mush with the logbook in the bottom*
**a nicely designed cache, a favourite point as I can clearly see the work gone into creating the hide**
Mark9375....over and out......

Nice hide found while out with 1k2ate and mark9375 to get a medal on the 31st for a cache with more than 10 fav points TFTC
Took a bit to retrieve but in the end got it, cool container idea! Tftc found with mark9375 and 4bait
Sliced my knuckle open on this one last weekend, even using a rock. Recommend bringing a long flat screw-driver in case somebody puts it back with too much gusto. Will return and find this next week, great hint!
Freezing cold windy & raining, we had to wait in the rotunder nearby for a break in the weather. A short jog to gz & spotted likely hide but it didnt give up the prize. After reading some past logs we found a tool and with a bit if brute force Debmex was tge winner.

First one found! Thanks, was so clever, took us a while to figure it out!! Need to bring a pen back soon as we didn't bring one!
Very clever clue. Took a while to put it all together though. Great spot! Unfortunately didn't have a pen so couldn't write in the log.
I should have seen it... but I just didn't... Zedaycee found it though, so all is good. Awesome hint!!! Really well thought out!
Great hide. i looked right at it and missed it. But Zedaycee found it in one go.
With Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.

#1185 Apologies for the late logging, there were a few hiding on my phone. Riding home from work on the bay trail I thought I try and knock over another in the P366 quest. Detoured off the main bike path and spent a couple of mins looking and was just about to head off when I had thought! Sure enough, with a bit of effort, I had the cache in hand. Log sheet was a bit damp so left a dry one as well. TFTC hippowaffle.
Fogg was still reading the listing text and wondered about the hint, when Consortin was already signing the logbook.

Despite the cool blustery day, it was a pleasant 2km walk through Elwood to get to this cache. Once at GZ, I encountered the same problem as many other cachers and wasn't sure if I had the strength to retrieve the cache. However, a couple of gentle taps with a nearby rock did the trick. Walking back north along the bay proved to be not such a good idea and I could barely walk against the wind, so had to cut back into the suburbs to avoid being blown away! TFTC
Best hint! You just need to be strong or have a fork or something to pry it open. Good luck!
Picked up a trackable.
And left a small item.
And also a small pen I had on me that will fit for others to use.

Found with ICW, but only after we had raided our tool box and returned to GZ. Once we were properly equipped the container quickly yielded its contents.
The log is rather dog-eared and is running out of space. Tftc.

Dropped off a trackable previously picked up on Bruny Island. The lid on this cache is very hard to get off.
Looked for ages but couldn't find it. Understood the clue but think it may have fallen down?
Arrived in the location on a rainy day, so walked along with my umbrella. The co-ords were spot on and I walked right up to where I thought the cache might be - and there it was. I have seen some other similar cache hides in Sydney, so guessed the sneaky spot. Luckily there were no muggles around. Signed the log and replaced. Then went for a walk along the beach path. My second cache in Victoria. TFTC
Found it with the help of Heidelberg Cub Group. Did require some tools. Lucky the Scout motto is be prepared!
Yay!!! Think of the hint as it was a big help, very clever catch!! Used a stick to get the cap.
YES! Our first Geocache and it took a while... We picked up BTP8 and moving it as requested
Onto the next one!
Onto the next one!
Definitely found where it should be based on other photos but it's jammed on to the point of making me bleed trying to get it off
@ the next geofinder, please may you remove my TB "BTP #8" from this cache to drop it somewhre else, please.
I was knowing, when I drop it there, that it was not a good idea even if it is a good cache.
I found it with my geocaching backback, so of course I was with some tools [^]

I think I found it but not too sure...
In any case I failed to take off the camo.
Tried harder but I didn't wanted to look like a vandal creep, especially when I saw that cop car passing by.
Next time!

Witnessed a car crash just as we arrived which may have been the event that put us off the scent...also had to get a good possie for the impending fireworks. Next time!
TFTC hippowaffle. A nice easy find on a great Melbourne day for geocaching. A fav for me for the effort put into the camo. Replaced skanky and torn plastic waterproof. Logbook will need replacing In not too distant future. Jimmytherat.
I loved this cache.
Obviously 1 FP.
I left a TB in, please take care of it

Thanks for this hide, it was very easy to get to, just not easy to find, Log book is full, and have placed page of my notebook for a few more cachers to use, plastic bag also needs replacing, also there is no sign of the geocoin trackable
Super well made cache - very impressed! Awesome spot too on a nice sunny summer day
Found it on a warn overcast morning with lots of Muggles around not to mention a busy road next to GZ. Fortunately reading previous logs gave me great hints where to look and we located the cache in the first place I looked.
We dropped off our second trackable the Sand Gecko into the cache to enjoy the beach vews. TFTC

Found!
Unjammed the cap with a big stick that I left
by the forked tree in case someone needs to
do it again.
Clever cache! Log is wet and full. Forgot a pen so have photo. Tftc!
